SO CUTE. Can I keep it?

[ampersandwitch]

I don't usually succumb to a study/stress environment, but at present, I have planned for myself to e studying with my free time for a total of five days for one (intro) class.  This is because my vanity will not allow me to get anything less than an A in a class that is a large, intro prerequisite course, even though it has a reputation of being challenging and it's a cumulative final.

So, if anybody wants to talk to me about the sexiness that is Azimuthal numbers, primary, secondary and tertiary ionization, the photoelectric effect, the VSEPR and Bohr's model, van der Waals constants, then let's do it, because I really need to learn these to escape the horrific B+ and its comely yet obnoxious cousin, A-.

I'm also studying for the classes that come more easily to me, but the amount of time I've planned for this one test (it looks like 15 hours so far) makes me feel a bit like a crazy person.

EDITED : because It's/its.  Thank god I'm not studying for a grammar test or I would be kicked out of the school.

[Scandanavian War Machine]

oh man that is so fucking cute! i mean the physics, not the rodent. well, the rodent's pretty cute too, i guess.


Bling Blang Blog,

funny story: so apparently it's my birthday today, and i didn't even realize it until my phone made some weird noise that i've never heard before and when i looked it said "Event Reminder: it's my birthday! yay!" and i was like "whaaat" but sure enough, it is the tenth of December. funny how it sneaks up on you.

anyway, to stick to the current theme of negativity: waahhh now my driver's license is expired and i have to go pay for a new one. ugh i hate the DMV so much a bloo blah bloo

[Lines]

Yes, but now it will be a special driver's license.

So they say.

[Scandanavian War Machine]

yeah, i suppose.

it will be nice to not have the foreign convenient store guys make fun of my picture anymore.

"this not you. is your sister."

"ha ha this look like girl. you not girl, where you steal license from?"


yeah, that never gets old.

[Barmymoo]

Today was quite cool. I had a reasonably successful driving lesson, I edited a whole newspaper (nearly) and I did some filming! Also it was parents' evening, that annual event where all of my teachers get together to tell my mother what I've been saying all year: namely that I DO work hard, I AM doing well and I'm a good student who will get good grades. And she still doesn't believe it. But it's good for my self esteem anyway.

Gabbly broke. I don't like Gabbly tonight.

[jhocking]

Honestly, I'm more concerned with the fact they don't have a cordless. How the fuck does that happen these days? A decent cordless phone costs all of ten bucks these days. Fuck, Patrick. I will BUY you a cordless phone if you promise not to bitch about your mom for stupid reasons anymore.

I prefer corded phones because then you can't lose the handset. I fucking hate how the handset is always missing on a cordless phone.

I mean, back when I had a landline anyway. I find it strange that some people can't grasp that I have no need for any phone other than my cell phone.

[0bsessions]

On the other hand, Joe, you'd be perfectly at home using a rotary phone.

(I say this as someone who is perfectly at home using a rotary phone)

[Scandanavian War Machine]

rotary phones always scared me as a kid because i always felt like my fingers would get chopped off if i didn't pull them out quick enough.

[benji]

I always thought that was the fun part when I was a kid

[StaedlerMars]

I've been to a really really good vegetarian sandwich place there and there are neat shops.

Was it green bean? Cause if it was I totally agree. That place has pretty good food.

I'm kind of here because my lady friend goes to Smith, so I'm not really in Northampton itself, but rather being intimidated by all the women here.

I mean, back when I had a landline anyway. I find it strange that some people can't grasp that I have no need for any phone other than my cell phone.

In the UK, you need a land line to get Internet. I'm not sure how this works in the US, but wouldn't you need the same wires anyway?

EDIT: Green bean, not bean scene.

[Eris]

I used to love the clicky sound that our old rotary phone used to make. Then we got a computer phone with the buttons and it wasn't anywhere near as fun.

BLOG:

Today, after talking to est yesterday about bein' in a funk and listening to him talk about what changes he is making to get less frustrated with things, I have decided to try and get more organised. I don't have a diary/planner type thing (because I always seem to forget to bring it with me, and therefore don't write things in it) so I have a notebook that I will write my daily to-do lists, and see how many I can get through in each day.

Today is:
 
- Put my clothes away (done)
- Do housework (dishes and general cleaning etc)
- Apply for jobs (kind of done)
- Go for a walk (it's raining, so I think that's not gonna happen)
- Colour Alice (this will be done at some time today)
- Eat (1 out of 3 meals has been had)

So far I'm doing ok with the list! hopefully it will help me feel like I am actually doing stuff instead of sitting around all day waiting for people to finish work.

[ampersandwitch]

I'm kind of here because my lady friend goes to Smith,

Ask her what she thinks of Mt Holyoke for me.

(Also I think it might have been Haymarket.  Haymarket has the best food.

[pwhodges]

In the UK, you need a land line to get Internet.

I'm under the impression that there is actually a way to get a phone line with no phone service for ADSL use only.  Or you could get cable - I don't know for sure if they do any Internet deals without a phone, but I think they do. 

But I dare say this is much the same anywhere.

[ViolentDove]

You can get "naked" ADSL which doesn't require an active phone-line

[Inlander]

But you can only use it to download porn.

[Spluff]

You can upload it, too.

[Eris]

You mean you don't have to be naked to use it?





Oops.

[jhocking]

wouldn't you need the same wires anyway?

cable internet

[ViolentDove]

Man that sounds like a pretty decent way to do anything.

[ViolentDove]

Hey that reminds me that I have to drop unsubtle hints for my relatives to buy my classy booze for Christmas.

[Patrick]

Dear blog thread,

It is almost like I can feel my feet freezing to the floor today. Also, last day before I leave for a month, and I have not packed.

I doubt I will sleep tonight. Not because I haven't packed, that'll take maybe an hour (and that's if halfway through I decide to take a shit and translate War and Peace into an obscure Turkic dialect), but because the wakeup call for getting ready to be picked up to go to the airport is at like 2am.

Also yay for like 3 hours of sleep last night, too.

K bye

[KvP]

WHY THE FUCK DO PEOPLE USE RAPIDSHARE

FUCK RAPIDSHARE

COME ON

[mooface]

so yesterday i found out i can't move to dublin because (long story short) ireland doesn't want my dog.

now i am pretty fucked and my life has become needlessly complicated and i don't know what to do with myself anymore

i know i will find a way to work something out, but this is pretty shit.

[valley_parade]

Come to Boston and be gig buddies with me!

[mooface]

but my boy is in dublin and i miss hiiiim 

boston is one of the alternatives i am looking at if i'm not able to stay in europe, though.

[valley_parade]

Bah, move him too.

[Patrick]

This is my checklist for the 24 hours leading up to my flight.

- pack
- finish downloading Elliot Smith
- finish buying gifts for family and friends
- ship some shit
- print out receipt and itinerary for my flights
- get on plane and immediately lose consciousness
- not wind up sitting next to some nasty-smelling fat guy on said plane

As you can see, it is a work in progress.

[tania]

i went to the convenient store by my house to pick up a case of red bull for my last two finals (i know it is bad but this is how i get things done, trust me i have a STRATEGY) and the guy there was real nice and felt sorry for me and gave me two cases for the price of one! plus some free gum.
i am never going to sleep again

[Scandanavian War Machine]

last night a few friends and i went to this new, little bar in town and i swear the guy who designed it must be some kind of oblivious giant because everything in that place is waaay too high off the ground.

the bar itself is almost as high as my shoulders when sitting at it, which is actually pretty sweet because it makes it impossible for anyone to look tough when they're sitting there. the urinal in the bathroom was also ridiculously high off the ground; if i was an inch or two shorter, i'd have to stand on my toes to pee in it, and i'm pretty average height (5'9" ish). also, i didn't see it for myself, but my lady friend said that her feet literally didn't touch the ground when she was peeing in the women's bathroom.

basically i am going to buy some platform shoes and invite all my shortest friends to come hang out at this bar and mess with their heads.

"dude, did you get...shorter?"

[Caleb]

My Target got Tim-Tams in and I bought some but they are going to remain un-opened because I am trying to loose weight for a doctor's appointment.

So they are just going to sit there in the dish shelf.

[KvP]

So my laptop's power port is shot. Which means I have roughly 2 hours before it becomes useless.

Time to back up my data. Hopefully there's not more than 2 gigs of it.

[Scandanavian War Machine]

ooh harsh.

best of luck with that.

[KvP]

Okay, temporary workaround!

I was able to tape the plugged-in cord just so that it would feed power to the computer. That buys me enough time to start backing up via DVD.

[Allybee]

deferred from my first choice college (brown).

I cannot remember ever feeling this awful.

[Lines]

  Better luck with the next one, Ally.

I was able to tape the plugged-in cord just so that it would feed power to the computer. That buys me enough time to start backing up via DVD.

I had to do this with my last adaptor. I had to keep it wrapped around something to keep the cord twisted enough to keep the puter alive.

[Allybee]

well, there isn't so much a "next one" as a "whole bunch more" next spring. fuck fuck fuck I worked so hard fuck

I'm going to go eat my feelings

[Dollface]

One this is that that is is my and only non smokypost (fuck)

Im moving and that is hell for my ass as hell.
Well i dont have much to move but those things weight like stone or dinosaurs im sorry but it may be my last week with you thats why im been here so much for these couple, three things i have tried to do but my muscles dont like those ideas. but i would like this place later



                                                                      But one thing is sure if im not back its deff then (she is the nasty one)



              

[Scandanavian War Machine]

what

[KvP]

I'm thinking of getting this 'un as a replacement. It'll cut into my travel savings, but I absolutely positively need a laptop. Blah. Hopefully I can get a job after I leave this one.

deferred from my first choice college (brown).

I cannot remember ever feeling this awful.

Sorry Ally!

[Tyler]

Dear blogary,

I had to deliver my sister supplies during finals up at UConn, and the mix cd I made lasted exactly the entire ride up and down. I cannot express in words how happy this made me. Job interview at Yale went well, and hopefully I will once again be gainfully employed catering to the needs of the future elites.


-Tyler

[Dollface]

To put it simply im moving to location that i dont like, I DONT REALLY LIKE  PLEASE I WILL BE YOUR MAID OR BUTLER JUST LET ME OUT OF HERE

[supersheep]

so yesterday i found out i can't move to dublin because (long story short) ireland doesn't want my dog.

now i am pretty fucked and my life has become needlessly complicated and i don't know what to do with myself anymore

i know i will find a way to work something out, but this is pretty shit.

It'd mean having to wait six months before you could come in, but the EU Pet Passport would let you bring him(?) in. Also, is there a way of getting her(?) into the UK and then bringing the aforementioned dog over here? I know you've probably picked up on these ones, but just in case.
It's kinda ridiculous that any other animal can basically waltz in or out of the country. Especially horses. Boy does the government love horses.

My internet has been on the fritz all evening. You'd think that'd mean getting some work done - even of the simple "organising myself" variety, rather than the "actually doing something on this thesis I have barely started apart from realising there may be no real information on it" variety, but no. I think I am one of those people who basically needs to write down to-do lists every morning and stick to them. Also not spend so much time dicking around in Warcraft.
I also am really looking forward to moving out! I have been in this house for about fourteen months and it is starting to get on my nerves a little. Especially the kitchen. People being unwilling to clean up after cooking for themselves is rather annoying. I mean it is not hard to wash up after dinner even in our horrible poky kitchen, and clean as you go. The person I will be living with is much better at this, woo! Also it will be my first grown-up apartment! I am kind of looking forward to having space and stuff. Also money, what with the hopefully being employed after college.

EDIT: It would have been a smart plan to try using an ethernet cable, wouldn't it. Eight hours of dicking around with shitty nets for no real reason other than idiocy. (Also it is slightly broken still but less so!)

[Dimmukane]

KVP--

My laptop's AC adapter broke off internally.  For whatever reason, I couldn't even get it to turn on (methinks the power switch runs through there).  Had to have a friend sauter it back on, that only lasted me three weeks.  Didn't get nearly any of my stuff back.  Still don't have a replacement.  My warranty covered it, but the company went out of business the year I bought it.

[RedLion]

My computer just fucked up monumentally.

It appears to be working fine, but it's like it was wiped absolutely blank! All the music in my iTunes disappeared, all my word documents disappeared, all my pictures disappeared, all my bookmarks on FireFox disappeared...

Does anyone know what happened? 

It is angering the fuck out of me, and while I can get all my music back on my computer thanks to my external hard drive and the TuneJack program, my word documents and pictures seem to be gone for ever. I am quite distressed!!

[jhocking]

Does anyone know what happened? 

yes

[KvP]

If it was something to do with the hard drive, I'd think the OS would get wiped along with everything else. Software is your culprit. Perhaps even the OS itself.

[jhocking]

hm his point makes me think, did you log into a guest account by mistake? All the stuff you described as having disappeared are separate for each user.

Dear Blog Thread,


Dude and I hung out last night. Oh my god, it was terrible. Well, not at first. At first he seemed really cool, then we decided to go get dinner, and that was where things went down hill. First, he kept hinting that we should venture out to St. Louis to get food, which honestly didn't seem so harmful, especially since there isn't really aren't any non fast food places around here that are cheap. So we decide to head out to St. Louis, upon pulling out of the parking lot, we are hit by a minivan. We got in a fucking car accident. And of course, it has to hit us on my side of the car. Everybody was ok though. The car just looks like shit now. So we wait for the police to show up and get all this sorted out, and we start talking. I mention how I am not into relationships at all(something I have mentioned to him before.) and he gets pissed. I mean, he didn't like shout or anything, but you could tell he was upset, and kept trying to get me to change my opinion on it.

After that gets all sorted out, we finally get to St. Louis, and enjoy a nice little meal at my favorite Thai restaurant. Where he kept saying "You know, my apartment is just around the corner from here. Do you want to go meet my cats?" and dropping hints that we should go over to his place. After deciding that I am just being paranoid, and he isn't saying these things because he wants to sleep with me, and he is actually just being friendly, we head over to his place, where he tries to get me drunk, and keeps hinting that I should kiss him. I ignore all these hints hoping that he will get it, and finally ask him to take me home at 10:00.

After dropping me off, he once again starts dropping hints that I should give him a kiss. It's totally not happening at this point. He holds his hand out, I guess to shake my hand, but my hands were full, so he took my fucking hand and kissed it. I think I rolled my eyes at him at this point.

So yes, um tl;dr :

Date went like this:
We got in a car accident.
He got upset that I don't date people
He obviously didn't pay attention to me when I told him that I am not into dudes
He was a creeper and wouldn't get the hint I was not into him.


Anyway, so now I am stuck without anybody to go to the Faint show with. This is lame. I could take my friend Andrew, but the last time we hung out dude wore a dirty shirt, and had a very very hairy neck, and I always feel sort of trashy for hanging out with him.

Le sigh.

[KvP]

I am now done with community college completely and totally! I am hoping for all As, I only know of one guaranteed A.
