LOOK! OVER IN THAT RECLINER!

( +3 )



I just ate a cider mill donut and you are jealous. Mary was very nice. I learned a lot. I think I need to go back to ask sommore, but we'll see how much I can get down with the 6 pages of notes I do have. I SAW AN OSTRICH AND A COW MOO'D AT ME ANGRILY.

The new lj header combined with my default looks like Christmas, which is annoying, but dammit, at least the graphic isn't preschool.


Man I feel like I did more today than I do on a weekend, and I still have a night class to go to.,.

And Nieva's tail is curled around the side of my face...

So uh.

Our shower is leaking from the faucet and the showerhead, and we can't really...get it to stop. So tomorrow we have to call a plumber. Weekend plumbing rates...Nnnh. I feel like I'm going to be handing back the money Mom gave me. And then some.

Positive is that Ron Podell called to set up that interview. Negative is that my phone was on vibrate and I missed that call, but somewhat-positive is that he said to call him back. So I will first thing Monday morning. I hope I hope I hope I hope I need a job for winter.

I'm starting to feel a little anxious again, but I'm going to try to keep myself under control. Problems don't get solved in a panic.

The weather was pretty much heaven on earth and I had no complaints about working the easy-bake booth. Did nothing but finally get around to reading my copy of I Am America (And So Can You!), enjoyed most of it, but not as much as I bet I would've the day I bought it. I don't really care for the Daily/Colbert shows anymore.

Gary gave me 9 comics for 10 bucks today, kya. Death of Superman and Panic in the Sky and some Booster I was missing and also WAIT WHEN DID SUPERMAN SECRET ORIGIN 5 COME OUT WHY AM I MISSING IT??? Hhh. Oh well. I have lots to read tomorrow so that pleases me. Should keep me busy for most of the shift. 10-3, derp. Two whole hours to clean house woop.

Walked the dog, bought Mom some flowers, ate cheesy quesedillas.........s'all good. I'm just dead tired rn and my hand's hurting again GETTING REAL SICK OF THIS HAND I'LL TELL YOU WHAT. Oh well.

Who else is enjoying the shitstorm against ONTDs new layout high five

I woke up from a weirdly linear dream where I was watching a news feature of Diane Sawyer interviewing Sarah Palin, except the production was really juvenile and mean. They were just making fun of her (like her teeth and stuff), and I got really annoyed. I was like "THIS ISN'T PROFESSIONAL IF YOU'RE GOING TO NITPICK MAKE IT SOMETHING WORTHWHILE." Then I was following them as they were talking. I think Diane was in a track suit. Sarah was really tired and had no makeup on.

At some point, they ended up around some school busses and were trying to hang onto them by the reflector mirrors on the hoods? Diane did it fine and got ahead down the street but Sarah was far behind and junk. I was following on a sidewalk that suddenly became full of holes. There were prairie dogs in some of them staring up at me as I walked. One of them got out and started barking at me for being too close to its babies and was jumping and biting at my pantleg until I woke up.

I have to clean the house before the festival today but my knees are so stiff.


( questions from mc madz )

I always feel a bit silly writing things like this.,

( on things. it gets kind of sappy, so. )

S-so many friendscuts lately...Thank you for keeping me on if you did. 8'| I will attempt to be entertaining enough to earn my keep.

Workity work mcworkenstein. Not two months into this gig and I've already been stretching the limits of my sleep schedule and reaping the (non)benefits. I woke up ten minutes before a shift a couple days ago, being awesome enough to only be late by five minutes because close proximity and my title as Fastest Dresser in the West. I've taken to getting up at 7 every morning just to try to keep a routine, but my tendencies to stay up late are in direct conflict for that. I may end up having to get my butt to bed by 11 every night just to keep feeling well.

HR from BlueCrossBlueShield contacted me via email. No internship. Oh, well. I kind of figured I wouldn't get it, considering the long radio silence from the rep. Hopefully commissions will help me keep on top where the internship would. It's no $15 an hour, but it's better than nothing, right?

I finally got word back from my News Writing instructor about my final article and man. I cannot believe I got an A on that thing. For all the things she told me I was lacking? It feels like I deserved a C rather than an A. I MEAN I'LL TAKE IT but. Jeez. I really need an AP Styleguide. And it's so hard to really find the balance between "clever" and "leading" in a lead. LEADS NEED TO LEAD BUT NOT BE LEADING YOU GUYS. God I hate newswriting.

Lots of stress, anxiety, and agitation on my flist. I'm reading it all you guys, but I seldom know what I can say to help. :[ I know there's hardly much someone in my position can say or do in truth, but y'all should know I'm listening. And I'm sorry about all the troubles and I hope they get better, because none of you guys deserve the bad times. If I can do anything to help?? Hit me up. I will try.

And now an art dump. ( +6 )

DRAW SUPERHEROES EVERY DAY NO EXCEPTIONS ( +1 )


I'm really jittery and anxious right now and I don't know why. Hnn. *listens to Peter Gabriel to mellow out

Ah, folks getting comics from me--I might have to ask for a little money to cover the shipping. Like. A dollar. Or two dollars or something, depending on how many you're getting? I'm not sure yet; we'll see when I get to the post office and get my receipt and get things out the door! But it should be okay, I think. OPTIMISM.


Anywho. I felt really good drawing that up there. I mean, no way am I anywhere closer to improving, but...it was nice to not utterly halfass something? I dunno.

Read all of Corinthians I today. I think I'll start taking the NT guides with me to chapel to follow along and get more insight into the historical aspects and how they relate.

The weather was so amazing today, it's unreal. I mean, yeah, it'll be gone this weekend, but. I just feel really glad to have been able to be outside for a bit each nice day. Usually I'd just hide indoors regardless, which is no muy bueno.

Fingers crossed that I'll have done okay on my math test--results tomorrow!

My acceptance to Eastern has been interrupted by a missing transcript from Henry freakin' Ford, which is irritating. That was just two classes my senior year for college credit, people, and it's accounted for on my other two transcripts. I don't remember having to do this before, but I have to drive out there and ask for them to send proof of two measley art history classes. 8|

I had a panic earlier this week when Nelnet sent me a bill? And it listed the three loans I have with them and then the amount due--uh. Zero? WHY THE HELL DID YOU SEND ME A BILL I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK just. Why.

Aaand today, the Children's Place called to set up an interview on Wednesday. THIS IS A GOOD THING. Part-time blows but I need income, no matter where it's coming from. I guess working for Hoop Industries is paying off a bit. Kinda. Maybe.

I can't really stand kids ha! Ha!

Oh, well.

Fuck Glee, I laughed more at Modern Family than I ever did at trying-too-hard-to-be-clever-singing-outcasts-and-some-cheerleaders. Well, naw. Not that mean. Just saying. Glee needs to tone it down. Or not. Idk, everyone loves it, so that's okay. I'll just watch Modern Family, since it's something my parents and I seem to equally enjoy. Though y'know, one episode isn't really something you can go on. Whatever. Lol tv.

Odd and the Frost Giants, Neil Gaiman's new book (hell, it was in the "new fiction" section, what do I know?), is short and sweet. But I liked it. I kept thinking Odd was like this adoreable little AU!Thorfinn pre-ohnoesDaddy. Read that bitch in 33 minutes at the gym, yeah! Aaand forgot to log my walking distance, but it's probably 1.5 miles.

The first due date for one of my student loans came in, set for January. Please, pleasepleasePLEASE let it be possible for me to defer payment if I go back to school. Otherwise, uh. Hm. 8|

I can't believe I ended up carrying that stupid bottle of Xanax around with me this week. I don't want to ever have to use it. And I do believe I could've been nicer to my therapist when I handed in yet another bill payment. But really, I didn't feel like dealing with her or anymore spending on anything. I got my car insurance to take care of.

I really like the Justice Society of America. Like all of them. Even Cyclone, even though I want to kind of punch her, because I can just imagine how annoying her voice is. It just reminds me that DC needs to make some damn brunette superhero girls. It's all blondes and redheads, and the Wonder and Batfams are hoarding black hair. The only brunettes that comes to mind are Mary Marvel and Renee. :\ Ah, well.

But whoever was drawing the latest issues needs to go away, because the torsos are disgustingly long. I recall this artist's work, but I forget his name. A super-elongated Supergirl comes to mind... But get him away from JSA. Igh. It's ugly on a girl for sure, but UGH on a man's abdomen. :|
