1. Alive.

2. Skip 420 is as far back as I'm getting. And that's with my no communities filter on.

3. It would be nice if I didn't have to deal with my mother until a) she goes on mood-altering drugs or b) has massive amounts of psychotherapy. I think I have many things to say later in the week on this subject, because I have MASSIVE mommy issues.

4. I learned this weekend that while I can hold tequila quite nicely, Vodka is a definite no. I had my first hangover this weekend. And I didn't even drink all that much.

5. I got my Secret Slasha assignment. All I can say is damn you, thebratqueen, damn you to hell. You gave me bunnies galore after the last episode of Angel, but I don't want to step on your toes. So my bunnies now need a massive re-tooling. Also? Happy Belated Birthday. But still damn you.

6. I have lots of work to do. Poem, french essay today. Tonight, I'm typing out my half of Thursday's grammar presentation. I'm doing Slayer Slang: Language Creation in BTvS. Because maybe fandom can save my grammar grade.

7. I bought holiday cards. I have about 30 to send to LJ friends and 52 to send via campus mail to my residents. I'm throwing a holiday party next week for them. And the redheads and I need to go shopping for one another and plan when our friends party will be.

8. Damn Superfresh. They were all out of cherry pie.

9. I'll get to replying to comments laterish.

I think that's all for the very moment, thanks.

To Do List::

-- We're putting up our tree tonight! Ah, the tiny college apartment tree. And we're gonna trim it. And it will be lovely.

-- I'm going to read James&Laura's runes.

-- I'm going to type up the leadsheet for my Thursday presentation. I've already got my part highlit and post-it noted, so it's really just compiling left. And picking out a good 2 minute clip that represents Buffyspeak. Any suggestions?

-- Send out cards to on-campus friends about a small pre-holiday get-together next week.

-- Call my aunt about dinner on Sunday. If I can't switch it, I have to be on duty that night, which means we'd have to leave PA around 7pm. It shouldn't be a problem, but maybe I can switch it.

-- Start sketching out my Secret Slasha submission. There's no way I'm going to email it in from my stepfather's comp and therefore I'll have to do it before I leave campus.

Ta Da List::

-- I turned in my last poem and my whoppin' French essay of doooooom.

-- I had an appointment with a nurse today about switching pills. My new pill, Ortho-Lo, will have 25mg less of estrogen, which means I shouldn't be as wonky. And as an added bonus, maybe my boobs will deflate just a little.

-- I got all my residents' holiday party invites/holiday cards done. Which is an incredible relief. Juices, pies, and cookies for next week's party are also bought.

-- I have clean laundry yet again.

-- GIP! Wesley's full of holiday cheer. Last year, this said "Ho ho ho, bitch!" but this year, I was going for more understated venom. :)

-- I've found the image for my next layout (Winter 2003-2004). It's pretty and snowflaky. Hopefully the layout will be up by Friday.

Final Notice::

I'm starting to fill out holiday cards for LJ people. US people can expect their cards next week, but I'm not going to mail international cards until the 10th, when I get paid. I'm mailing them so early because I leave campus the 12th, earlier than I had expected. This is your last shot to send any stray addresses.


...and before I do all this, I have to shower. So I'm gonna go do that. :)
