Royal Flush

I haven't used this in forever but it's a safe place to vent so there.

My ex is already dating someone new. We broke up in the beginning of January and they started dating in the middle of January. I feel like I meant nothing. Just a few weeks before, she had been saying all these nice things to me, telling me she loved me and I was amazing, etc. And then she broke up with me. There was no transition that I knew of. She continued acting the same right up until "I think we should see other people." Apparently she already had someone in mind.

So.

I'm mostly on Tumblr now, at this address. See y'all there~

Guys. Guys.

Since I moved back to Virginia, I've become something of a househusband. I cook and bake. Often. And as, yes, I can be a bit OCD (but don't you ever confirm that to my mother), I do wipe my hands often. Okay, I lick them, too. Shhh. SO THE LOGICAL THING IS AN APRON, Y/Y?

I almost bought one in October, but by the time I decided that, yes, I want that skeleton apron, it was sold out. Why'd I want it? It reminded me of Kanji! I admire him. He's badass but sews and shit. I wanna be like thaaat. ~~I already have the attitude.~~ So yeah. I figured I have two options now. I could: A) buy that one with the "blood spatter" on it or B) buy a plain black one and fabric paint that shit. In a Kanji theme. Like, with a skull and crossbones. Or GET BENT. Or maybe both. And then I could put a bandana on all Cooking Mama style and be all "DON'T TOUCH THOSE CUPCAKES OR I'LL RENOVATE YOUR ASS."

It's totally nerdy... but awesome, right? I think it's fitting~

OH HAY

I thought maybe I would start drawing/filling memes... But I'd have to print them off, fill them, then scan them! It seems a little ridiculous, doesn't it? I think I might, though, for giggles and something to do while I wait for classes to start. That and I was never very good with a tablet. /Old bastard

And I ate turkey and I wanna play Assassin's Creed and I tried Fable II and ended up playing for like four hours the first night. And did y'all know Pokemon Black/White comes out in Spring? I want the one with the forest area, not the city. Because I'm a tree hugger.

And speaking of classes I signed up so I should be starting in January, after that SNAFU last/this semester. I decided to take World Civ I since I took II waaaay back and I need another history credit. However, the only time slot that would work for me was that boring teacher I had waaaay back in II. Hopefully Hetalia and what I know of AC will keep my interest. (I is early history, II is more modern, from about the colonizing/empire days. ) The teacher will be all "Um, Rome was, um, the largest city, um..." and I'll be imagining Ezio running around and ~~fucking~~ shanking people. (I'm not exaggerating the ums. Sadly.) I'll also be taking yoga (hurr, exercise, hurr), bio 102, and Spanish... the beginning. It's been years since I took a Spanish class. I was 16. Now I really do feel like an old bastard.

OH OH. I finalllyyyy got my hair cut. I usually get it pretty much crew-cut length in the back because long hair bothers my neck and this gives my lazy ass more time between cuts. I now look like I have a chocobo crest, since it's grown a bit. Sadly, I am no longer a blue chocobo. I could probably pass for black, though.

Boooo

So TCC is only going to take credits for two of the eight classes I took at CCV. Four, if I can somehow get the syllabus for two others. But really, why would I have those?! Still, I hope that I kept them for some reason or another. I'd really hate to have that many credits wasted.

On August 18, gay/same-sex marriage will be legal in Cali again!

Ostensibly. This article explains that they're waiting because the judge is a nice dude and wanted to give the other side time to appeal/cry moar. But I'm pretty sure that this is just gonna get the go-ahead.

PS: This new "select tags" button actually lets me use my tags right! There are lots of them. I'm sorry.

I'd really like one of those snazzy Home Made Kazoku t-shirts for their ~American debut~, as I cannot be there. I'll pay whichever one of y'all would be kind enough to get one the next time we meet up (probably NekoCon, derp).

Also, I found that Soul Eater poster. It was c_antipizza that wanted it, right?

I seem to be using this icon often lately.

My friend posted on Facebook about how she's still angry that our history teacher once came to school with shingles, knowing he was sick, and gave her chicken pox. (The two are related, for those who are confused on how that happened. I was when I first heard this story.) So we're commenting away about how he could be funny sometimes, but was generally irritating.

And then he decided to come in and comment, days later, with this:

"Brandie, that was a tactic to try to get you guys to pay attention. The SOLs are purely memorization, not learning, and get to be quite boring. Take trying to get everybody to advance and do well on them, and actually teach at the same time, and it is quite challanging (and stressful, I might add). Brittany, sorry your life isn't perfect."

Only some of us got advanced, and it was not due to him, we all agree. And yes, that is totally just copy and pasted, posted by a teacher on a former student's page. This is the same man that went on and on about the Revolutionary/Colonial Period (and was even a reenacter, this man will die a virgin) and Penn State, because they are both so awesome. He spoke in monotone so much he could have taken Ben Stein's job. So yeah, we don't like him and he's butthurt. You'd think he would have realized that earlier...
.
I will give him that standardized tests are really just memorization, though.

ETA: ... He sent me a fucking message.
"What you wrote, since I am simply appalled at the topic on that wall and have since removed said person from my friends list, but I can tell you this, I find your comments quite surprising and unfortunate. I'm sorry learning U.S. history is not your thing."

I'm simply appalled that he went to work with shingles.
