THE WHITE STRIPES ARE OVER ;_;

So sad. So much middle/high school spent obsessed with them...and now they are no more... I can't say I'm surprised but they are such a part of what's made me who I am today. They will be missed.

Tomorrow is All White Stripes All Day.

I am SO ready to be back at school. SO READY. I feel like I've...accomplished? everything I wanted to over break, I've got in my quota of chill time, and now it's just a waiting game. Not too much waiting left at this point, I go back Saturday (yay!) but still I am antsyyyy.

I really need to find one more class to take this semester. I'm currently registered for 13 hours, but I'm no longer an art major and I REALLY don't want to take this 3D-sculpture class I'm in. I have to have 12 hours so I need to find another 3-hour class to make up for this one I'm going to drop. I'm trying to get into this Pre-War Japanese Culture class taught by the hippie prof of the Asian Studies department...I've never talked my way into a class before but here's hoping I don't chicken out (it's not like it's hard, I'm just terrified of many social situations). If I can't get that class I NEED ANOTHER and I'm having trouble finding one. I don't want to take another language class because I don't want to deal with any more group projects than I'm already going to be doing in Japanese.

So what shall I do today? I've finished my books I was going to read. Perhaps spin yarn and play Mario...typical. Grrrrr I want to see my friends and my boyfriend NOW. >_

I really enjoyed Kirby's Epic Yarn, still trying to 100% it though. Super Mario Galaxy is frustrating me a bit. I'll probably be able to beat it, but I dunno about 100%ing it. I want to though, I wanna play as Luigi because he is my favorite. :[ He does not get enough love, no way.

Must get back to my reading though! Since getting my games I've been doing a decent job of rationing my time between reading and games. Yesterday I did neither though! The past few days I've been staying up and getting up later for some reason, and that's kind of been making me feel a bit blah...it's a self-perpetuating cycle, sadly. I have to read extra much today! Gotta finish dis book. It's a good'n.

Just 4 more days until I go back! I can doooo this.

I've got a serious case of the winter break/end of the year/missing boyfriend blues. It just hit me this past hour like a ton of bricks. I want to go curl up and cry for no reason at all, and I'm pretty sure I'm not hormonal. It's too dark and cold in this house. I need someone who is not my parents to come here and cheer me up. I need a snuggle like nobody's business.

I still have a whole week here. :[ I'm not as bored and itching to get back to school as I was last year, I have plenty to do, it's just this time around I wish I had my person here to hold.

I also think it doesn't help that I was up until 4 AM chatting about my insecurities, got woken up early, couldn't get back to sleep, and have had a headache all day. I'm going to try to go take a nap now. Hopefully later this evening I will feel like reading my book.

HEYYY CHRISTMAS was cool.

All I asked for was a Wii (specifically the red one, because I'd been wanting a Wii for a while and then they came out with the red one and I was like DUDE GET ME THAT ONE), which I got. Her name is Ginger. I never got a Wii before mainly because I couldn't see myself playing it all that much, and also I knew my parents probably wouldn't get it for me. (Back when I had a job I probably could have bought it, but I didn't have the interest at the time. I was buying YARN and DS GAMES) My interest has grown in the past year or so ESPECIALLY after seeing this year's Nintendo E3 press conference...KIRBY'S EPIC YARN and also Skyward Sword of course! NEED WII. And now I has Wii! I've been playing New Super Mario Bros a lot and I SUCK SO BAD. ;_; Going out tomorrow to buy more games and a controller. Wooo.

However in addition to that my mother got me a framed print of Gromit (you know, Wallace and Gromit) knitting in bed. It's actually a scan from the calendar we had way back when. It looks really nice and I hope I can find a place for it in my room at school!

BUT she also got me FIVE POUNDS OF WOOL for spinning. FIVE POUNDS. I can probably make enough yarn for 2-3 sweaters with that. So. Much. Wool. She told me she thought she remembered me buying $100 worth of wool one time so that's what she did. I never bought that much wool at a time...I bought 2 pounds one time because I thought I was going to spin enough yarn to make ONE sweater. Haha. I'm thinking of dyeing some and finally starting an Etsy shop. More preparation must be had however.

LIIIIIIFE.

School is about to start again~ I am packing packing packing! Actually this is a lie, but I'm going to start once I'm done posting this. Ho Ho Ho.

I'm really excited to get back though. I miss my friends, I miss having a room with doors. I miss Pokemon and Doctor Who all day every day. My classes look interesting, and there are many extracurriculars to be had.

I'm feeling...hopeful about my social life. I'm feeling like there are several situations that may have a possibility of going somewhere, if you know what I mean. And not just me thinking "gee they seem nice I feel like we totally could work for each other," but getting some possible signals from -them-. Like multiple people telling me they miss me and I better get back in town ASAP, and these are people I am not close enough to to just say that kind of stuff willy-nilly. So we'll see, we'll see.


Gonna go have lunch with my high school art teacher on Wednesday! Fun fun. Hopefully I can get some details FINALLY for the Weasley sweater she wants me to make for her.

So today I’m walking down Franklin Street and I see one of my friends, who notices I’m wearing my “You Never Forget Your First Doctor” shirt, so we start talking about Doctor Who and how awesome it is and the Season 5 finale. I’m about to tell her what I loved loved loved so much about the finale when…

A giant mob of girls comes walking towards us, all of them wearing “Team [insert non-Twilight vampire here]” shirts, like “Team Lestat” or “Team Count von Count”. They were all off to watch Eclipse ironically together. They notice my shirt and shout awesome things at me, one of them producing a miniature sonic screwdriver from her bag. I talked with them for a little bit (I told them I was disappointed no one was wearing a Team Charlie shirt) but had to leave not long after because…

I was on my way to play Muggle Quidditch.

Best day? I think so.

Haha tonight I watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall with my dad. It's not awkward if you just pretend it's not awkward! Wooooooooo. I wasn't going to watch it with him but as I get much of my taste in music and British comedy from him, I'm always sort of scrabbling for his approval of things that I like. So I wanted to gauge his reaction. Verdict: he likes Russell Brand.

So because of that and the prospect of seeing Get Him To The Greek in the near future I also started re-listening to the Russell Brand Show (BBC Radio 2) podcasts from back in May 2007 when I started listening to them. It's funny because at that time he was working on Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and it's interesting to hear him talk about the experience. Also, I'd been hearing about the movie for a year before it came out so it was a big thing for me when I finally got to see it. I felt kind of special when it came out, like "yeah you guys think this is just another Judd Apatow & Co. flick but I'VE BEEN ANTICIPATING THIS BITCH FOR A YEARRRRR" No one cared though. No one ever does. bahahaha.

But yeah I really miss Russell & Co. on the radio. Especially Matt Morgan. My googling has turned up that apparently their movie "Bad Father" is still going to be made, which is good news. Too bad that doesn't really mean they'll be teaming up again since it's already been written. But I hope in the future they do. They were such a good double act. ;_;

It's been almost a month since I've posted~ ack. D:

This is my life currently:

It's summer!
- Working for my mother, supposed to be doing 20hrs/week but it's more like 9 because i'm lazy!
- knitting things
- spinning yarns
- watching the l word, wondering why the fuck I am watching this show when half the main characters are not likeable
- reading afterellen
- reading lgbt-related tumblrs (and every letter in the acronym is represented in my reading list <3)
- thinking a lot about girls
- thinking a lot about boys
- raising my pokemanz, trying to beat the pokemon league champion
- zelda Zelda ZELDA (my new goal is to play all/most of the games in a year. gonna take lots of hard work. maybe I can pull it off if I'm lucky)

tomorrowww I am going to see my high school's performing arts show, try to find out who's coming to Chapel Hill (heehee), and then maybe hang out with some friends I haven't seen in a while. woooo


I've been trying but I can't seem to bring myself to go to bed before 1:30 or wake up before 10:30. blargh. I want to get more done, I'm feeling like such a slacker. Plus I want to make more money, but since I'm working for my mom and it's more of a favor to me than an obligation to her, my motivation is low...eh. :\ I need to move around some of my shit though so my room is clean by the time I go to summer school.

Cleve Jones came to campus to speak today as part of our MLK Remembrance Week celebration. You guys, this man is the most amazing speaker I have ever had the privilege to see in person. The things he's done, the things he's been through, the passion he has for the things he cares about. He is an amazing man and such an inspiration. God damn he really makes me want to do something. If it weren't for the fact that he told us all that we have the power to make a difference in the world I'd say something like I don't think I'd ever be able to do something good enough. So I won't say that.

In awe.
