I am calling for a restriction on the use of Larry. He's losing his meaning.

In other news, I am wearing a silvery-gray shirt that ties at the neck and people keep complimenting me on it, like it's Chanel or Chloe or something, but I got it for two dollars at the Salvation Army and it smells like your grandmother. Ha.

I am SO HAPPY that I have NO FRIENDS at school because having no friends is SO MUCH BETTER than having friends that, like my Spanish I classmates, don't know the parts of speech OR that "The Raven" is a poem. MASTER ONE LANGUAGE BEFORE YOU TRY ANOTHER. Everyone in community college is a fucking goddamn moron.
Current Mood:

I got into the University of Michigan! YAY. No more community college after this semester. No more driving to school. No more transferring around, no more moving. I hope.

Last night, I tied a drunk/high (unfortunately, he was not rolling on something else like I thought he was) kid's shoe while he told me to instant message him sometime and nearly bled all over me. Entertaining, to be sure, especially to Nate (you remember Nate, the ex-love of my life?) and Liz, who were watching. But I'm a good samaritan.

Current Music:
Belle and Sebastian - "Family Tree"

I don't know what to do or how to act at visitations and funerals, especially in cases where I know the family much better than I know the deceased. What do I say (I ask them how they're doing - sincerely)? Where do I stand and who do I talk to when I'm not talking to the family (I stand and sit somewhat awkwardly with my ex-coworkers, off to the side)? To WHOM do I give that God-forsaken card with my in-lieu-of-flowers donation (I give it to the only daugher of the deceased, a fourteen-year-old with the comparmentalization skills of a person many lives old)? My ex-boss' sister/friend's mother/friend's aunt died in a car accident last week and the visitation was tonight (the funeral is tomorrow morning, but I will be at work). Next time I need to plan these things out in advance.

This is just a note to assure everyone that I have not, indeed, disappeared (again). I've been super busy thanks to the holidays, my new job, moving, volunteering to do makeup and hair for a couple local shows, and so on and so forth. I'm leaving tomorrow to visit my extended family, but I'll be back on Saturday and hopefully will have more LJ time (and less sick time - I ate two oranges and half a grapefruit today to try to cure my illness). Until then, I hope you are all doing well!

It is so cold that the tips of my fingers are blue. It is so cold that I'm about to go put on my long underwear just to sit around the house. It is so cold that I think my stomach is numb but my body is in survival mode and wants me to eat eat eat to keep warm.

In my return to livejournal, I have not been able to find Jess (formerly of jessindistress and others) or Jachelle (formerly of cryondemand and others), so if anyone knows where the heck they are, I would appreciate a heads up.

Hi! You've arrived here either because you saw that I updated animated_vixen or you saw that I friended you and wanted to know who the heck I was. I am indeed still Ani, and after a long debate with myself, I have decided to come back to livejournal. So, without further ado:

For those who didn't like me before:
I am no longer annoying, mean, and I don't fly off the handle. I'm not so moody, irrational, or dramatic as I was in those old high school days. Give me another shot! I may not have liked you either, but I'm willing to try again.

For those who did like me before:
Hey! I'm still COOL, I still randomly capitalize, and I'm still pretty anal retentive - all defining characteristics of the Ani you once knew. For you folks, I'm just IMPROVED - you will, of course, still benefit from my not being annoying, mean (several people have actually told me that I am much nicer than I used to be), psychotic, moody, irrational, or dramatic.

For those who liked me before but are wary of me since I disappeared for a year and a half:
I'm sorry! Think about it this way: you missed out on my superficial phase, my stoner phase, and my Drunk Girl phase, so really, you lucked out. If you want a bigger apology, I'll be happy to provide it; just let me know.

Everyone:
Please be my friend?
