So, my little brother was talking about the new Alice in Wonderland that's coming out with Jonny Depp in it. He was saying he saw some commercials and he didn't think it looked all that good, and I said that it was either going to be really good, or really bad. He said probably really bad, and in defense I said, "Yeah, but Jonny Depp is in it."

Anyway, we then had this discussion about how basically you put Jonny Depp in a movie and people are going to go see it. Then my dad pointed out that Jonny Depp could read the script and decide if he wanted to be in it or not, it wasn't as if people just drew their names out of a hat. And then, as a joke, I was like, "Jonny Depp, I choose you!"

My sister was much amused. She pictured someone with a weird-looking pokeball, and Jonny Depp popping out and being like, "Jonny Depp, Jonny Depp."

Also, work sucked. But Chris Houdlette was there, and I was like, Aw, Chris Houdlette, I missed you. You make me think of high school, and I miss that, too.

GUILT GUILT GUILT (and let's throw in that other type of gilt, just for good measure)

2009-12-23T04:17:58Z

Horrible guilt, HORRIBLE GUILT!!!! I skipped work today! I called in sick, but...well, it was a lie. But it's the first time I've ever played hooky from ANYTHING! I figured I should at least get ONE right? And it was so that i could stay late at Snugglefest and spend the night and have a good time. But I felt like the shift leader was all accusing and knew I was lying when I called in, and then I had horrible guilt dreams about Hannaford when i went back to sleep. I learned my lesson. Last time I do that.

Anyway, HOLY CRAP!!! Christmas is almost here! Christmas was like a friggin' NINJA this year, man! It just snuck right up out of the shadows on us. It crept and tip-toed silently past the Christmas trees, around the tinsel, under the mistletoe, and now, BAM! It's ready to strike!!! WATCH OUT FOR THOSE CANDY CANE KUNAI!!!!! MAKE SURE TO DODGE THOSE WREATH SHURIKEN!!!! AND BEWARE OF THE HAPPINESS AND GOOD CHEER NO JUTSU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But, seriously, it seems like Thanksgiving was just last week, and now we're three days from Christmas.

Also, I randomly got wicked moody and whiny and snappy when I was stuffing Christmas cards. But then BuddhaBuddha snuggled with me and attacked Colleen's card and I got cheered up (wtf).

OMG CHRIIIIISTMAAAAAAS (it is almost upon us)

2009-12-21T06:26:58Z

GAAASP! There are some times that I forget that lj even exists D: Those times make me saaaaad.

But! CHRISTMAS IS SOOOOOOON!!! We had a Christmas yesterday at my Mimi Nette's house. It was nice. And we had scalloped potatoes with dinner, and I LOOOOVE her scalloped potatoes, man! They are so cheesy and yumlicious and totally good. Anyway, I got The Bone Key by Sarah Monette (yeah, totally awesome!), and the script from Monty Python and the Holy Grail (with a bunch of stuff they never even bothered filming or anything, this should be fun), and a Barnes and Noble gift card, and some craaazy markers that disappear or change colors when you use other craaaazy markers with them. And apparently my Uncle Dave got me something else that hasn't come yet.

Then today we had a Christmas party thing at my Mimi Bea's, with my Aunt and Uncle who came down from Bethel because they don't want to come down Christmas day, and we don't want to go up. I guess it was okay. We had some funky tasting ham, though. And all the rolls ran out really fast. But I learned my mom can play piano sort of. And I tried to play Little Town of Bethlehem on the piano again today, and I did okay when I didn't try to play the lower stuff, too. I got too-big gloves and a weird sparkly sweater that...I don't know if it looks nice, or if it's just terrible.

And tomorrow (well, technically later today) is Snugglefest. Yeah, totally awesome. But I have to wear my gross too-small jammy pants tonight so my comfy ones will be clean for tomorrow D: Also, I'm making finger rolls because I fail at cooking ): But it will be a totally great time!!! And I'm gonna call in sick to work Tuesday so I'll be able to spend the night. I'm a terrible person. But...I don't call in sick very much, because I only ever do it when I really AM sick, and only when I'm really bad sick. Even if I don't feel great I don't call in sick unless I'm throwing-up or have horrible stomach cramps. So...that deosn't happen too much. SO I FIGURE I DESERVE A SICK DAY! Hannaford can suck it up.

FINALLLLL

2009-12-17T01:28:09Z

In 4 minutes I will take my final. 4 MINUTES!!! It's online. It's also timed, but I have to time it myself, so I want to start, like, on a nice round number, you know? I've been sitting here since 8:17 waiting for it to be 8:30 so I can take my final! I hope I do well. The midterm was super easy, so maybe the final will be too.

Oh, only 3 minutes now.

Make that 2, my b.

EDIT: so I finished my final! 118 out of 130, pretty good, right? The only ones I missed were because I didn't have the answer sheets to practice with from lesson 9 D: If I'd had those, I bet I would have got EVERYTHING RIGHT! Oh, well.

finished!

2009-12-14T23:04:10Z

YEAH YEAH!!!! I finished my RESEARCH PAPER!!! Which also counts as my final. Seven pages of CIPA crap, a cover page, and two pages of works cited to equal...TEN PAGES!!! I just barely made the requirement, and only by counting the cover and works cited as pages, heh heh. But anyway, I am done, HUGE load off my shoulders. Especially since I started at 11, and I just now finished. Seven hours...oh, god. My life had been WASTED.

Also, I'm all signed up for classes. I'm taking American Lit., Biology, History of Art and Architecture, and...um...something else...oh! Computer stuff again. I was gonna take Social Psychology with Manda, instead of Bio, but it's an ITV course, and I dunno if I like those, plus i already have one, so...meh. My mom's upset, though, because stuff is on different days and things conflict with Alicia's dance classes and with her dialysis. Well, whatever MOM, screw you! I'm not taking online classes anymore, and this was what I could get! D<

I have a headache now from staring at my computer screen too long. I should have turned down the brightness D:

Also! CHRISTMAAAAAAAS!!! It's soon.

nillabunny @ 2009-12-14T00:50:00

2009-12-14T05:50:00Z

I have new icons! Yeah! And I figured out how to put them on lj all by myself <3

Also, I'm such a lame-head. I just drew a Rhythm Heaven fanart xD

Not a good day, overall

2009-12-13T20:40:07Z

Okay, so CIPA is WAAAAY boring, and my paper is due Tuesday and I just started researching today, and my researching consisted of finding articles and stuff, skimming through it to see how many times CIPA was mentioned, and if I felt it was a decent amount copying and pasting the text to a Word document to read some other time. I am such a bad student!

Also, it's friggin' COLD. It's supposed to snow again tonight, which is cool. I don't work tomorrow.

Also, wtf, I got locked out of my house last night. When I left I didn't lock the door, and I left the little light by the door on so I could see when I got home, but then Damon must've come home and locked the door, and I didn't have my key D: So I trooped out back to the shed, which Damon wasn't in, so I thought I'd check the garage for a spare key, but I couldn't see anything because it was so dark (turns out we don't have a hidden key there anymore, anyway). In the end I had to ring the doorbell and pound on the door till my mom let me in. Now she hates me D: or something.

But in better news, I have most of my Christmas shopping done. I just need to get...a birthday present for my Mimi Nette (her birthday is Christmas Eve), and...a present for the Club Table Chinese Christmas thingy. WHAT WILL I GET!?!? I also need to mail Colleen's presents. And go to the bank, although that has nothing to do with Christmas or presents...

Nutcracker

2009-12-12T17:18:53Z

I'm going to my little sister's tap Nutcracker recital later. It's gonna be all tappy. And since she's now in one of the advanced-ish classes, she gets to do three things! She's gonna be cavalry (or a soldier???), Spanish, and Russian. I've been all of those when I used to take dance. Spanish is, like, the easiest bit of our Nutcracker, but Russian is the hardest, so I guess it levels out.

Anyway, my fingernails are red. It's freaking me out because 1) I've never painted my nails red, and 2) I haven't painted my nails for, like, two years because the polish always comes off at work when I'm bagging and stuff.

needs to be more motivated...

2009-12-10T22:18:04Z

So...I talked to my adviser today. And I still haven't decided 100% on classes, but I have a good idea what to do, so...yeah, whatevs. And...I talked to her about how I might want to change majors. Yeah...I got nervous and just said "I was thinking I wouldn't take any ILS classes this semester, because I'm not sure I want to keep going with this as my major." So, yeah.

Also, I still need to do research and practice my speech!!!!

But! I finally got a superb on shoot-'em-up from Rhythm Heaven!!! I have been trying to defeat that FOREVER!!!! Forever.

D:

2009-12-09T01:43:07Z

OMG, this song makes me so SAAAAADDDDDD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys0hBEEM2Lo Just this version, though.

Christmas?

2009-12-08T06:11:08Z

I should be sleeping Dx

Also, I am PUMPED for Christmas! Yeah, yeah!!! I have a tree, and there's snow, and Hannaford is playing Christmas carols, and I wrapped presents last night, and my mom made fudge over the weekend (although it's gone now). Totally in the Christmas spirit.

In other news, I need to hurry the eff up and research the Children's Internet Protection Act so that I can write my paper and not fail my internet course. I also need to practice my speech before I have to give that for real. And I furthermore need to talk to my adviser. And sign up for classes. And change my major. This is putting a real strain on my holiday spirit D<

Okay, but really, I should be sleeping. I have work in the morning.

Christmas powerrrrrr GO!

2009-12-05T20:49:46Z

We got our Christmas tree today, YEAH!!! Totally awesome! Anyway, it's beautiful. And it's taller than me! It wasn't last year, it made me sad. But! We have a spider on it, who crawled inside our angel, and no one will get it out for me D: Now our angel's gonna be spider webby.

Also, dude, what's with me and cleaning? Every time I clean the house, whatever weird accessories I find I feel the need to put on in some fashion. I am now wearing purple pants, and red Christmas sweater, a blue tie with yellow whales on it, a fight-cancer pink ribbon, a child belt on my head as a headband, and a yellow haunted-house sticker on my cheek. Fabulous apparel.

Also, I found old pictures of when I was like, six, where me and Damon and Zachary have our heads in those...body-things you stick your face in?...of Alice in Wonderland characters.

Glassies

2009-12-01T18:12:26Z

I got new glasses today and they are FREAKING ME OUT!!! Like, not the way they look, because they look mostly like my old glasses, but just...the way everything looks with them. Like, my left eye was worse than my right, so I'm used to my right eye being like "hey, what's up, look with me, this is what it really looks like" and now both of my eyes are evenly matched (I think) or maybe even my left eye is now better than my right and it's FREAKING ME OUUUUT!!!! Also, it's kind of making me sick. I don't like these very much ): Maybe I'll just wear my old ones...

sick-face

2009-11-30T21:10:45Z

I am still sick D: Not so bad today, though. I spent until about 1:30 sleeping, and then I read Harry Potter till my mom came to see if I was ~~dead~~ feeling okay. And then I did my homework. Or...some of it. I wrote my report for that one class. Now I just have to read three journal articles, and research a trend in libraries for tomorrow... Hmm.....

Also...I think I am failing one of my classes. D: It SAYS I have, like, a 76 or something, but I added it all up and stuff, and I only came up with 63. Not cool, not cool. But hopefully this next report will boost my grade, anyway! I would probably have a better grade if I hadn't skipped so much stuff and ended up with, like, eight zeroes. Oh well! I can't exactly go back and do it now. She already gave us the answers to the stuff. That would be CHEATING!!! Unless, you know, since I haven't actually looked at the answers, i could still do it without knowing, but she wouldn't know that, and I'd probably get points taken off for lateness anyway!!! I suppose I could try the extra-credit report...

Thanksgiving the Second

2009-11-30T03:44:57Z

So, my family had another Thanksgiving today. It was nice, I guess. We had it at my church (which I don't really go to anymore...). Basically, I hid in the other room and read Harry Potter until it was time to eat. And then I ate. And then I went back into the other room and read a little and then got sick and then slept the rest of the time. And then came home and thought my stomach would destroy itself and curled up on the couch and slept some more, and then woke up, ate some saltines, watched Pete's Dragon, read some more Harry Potter...and now I'm supposed to be doing homework.

I kind of hope I feel better tomorrow, and kind of don't. If I do, yay, I don't feel like crap. If I don't, yay, I don't have to go to work and I can actually do my homework which is gonna take me FOREVER because it was, like, a three week assignment that's due Tuesday that I haven't done anything for, yet. D: I am such a bad student!

Pies! So many PIIIIIES!!!!

2009-11-27T06:33:48Z

Okay, so Thanksgiving, totally awesome!!! I actually woke up early today! So that I could take a shower. But then Damon was in the shower, and then my mom had to take a shower, and then I got to. Yay! But, like, everyone took a shower this morning. EVERYONE! And there are six of us. How did our hot water not die?

Anyway, we ate lots of food~ And my Grammy made her date-nut bread, yay! But she did NOT MAKE ENOUGH!!!! I only got to eat four slices D: I wanted MORE!!! But there will be a second Thanksgiving on Sunday, and she will make more then. And she'll make CHOCOALTE PIE! Totally awesome.

And speaking of pies...I ate WAY too much pie today. Because at my Mimi Nette's house I ate two slices of chocolate mint pie, and then later we went to my aunt's house and ate more pie, and I had chocolate heath bar pie and apple pie. SO MUCH PIE!!!!

My aunt had a super cute fat cat without a tail. It's so cute! She also has a super cute not-quite-as-fat-but-still-pretty-darn-fat cat who is MEAN and HATES PEOPLE!!! She hissed at me and tried to bite me for NO REASON!!! But tailless cat was super cuddly. AND FAAAAAAAAT!!!! <3 I love fat cats.

thanksgiving pros and cons

2009-11-24T04:36:13Z

I am excited about Thanksgiving. My grammy is gonna make date-nut bread, which I never thought I would like, but which is actually one of the most delicious things in the world once you put butter on it. Anyway, I am also excited for Christmas! I still have to get some shopping done, though.

In related news, working around the holidays sucks. Everyone comes in and buys a crapload of food, and it just sucks all around for everyone involved. Because, there are really long lines. And, I don't want to deal with all these people. And, everyone is buying super huge, super heavy turkeys. And, it is nearly impossible to keep up with carts. And! I have a cold, which makes everything suck more anyway.

I still need to interview a librarian. Maybe I'll send my little sister to school with the questions and ask her to give them to the school librarian to answer? Haha, but that would be terrible. But I think I'll do it anyway. Because 1) I dunno if the public library is open tomorrow. 2) The public library is undergoing renovations. 3) The people at the public library probably hate me by this point for asking them so many friggin' questions for my classes. And 4) If I have my sister give the questions to the school librarian, I don't actually have to talk to anyone, and everybody wins!

Also, I am doing pretty good at Rhythm Heaven. Also, whoa, rhythm is a crazy looking word!

wut wut?

2009-11-21T19:39:04Z

So I went to see the Blind Side last night. AWESOME movie. But, holy crap! That New Moon movie came out, and there were SOOOO many people at the theater. It was INSAAAAAANE!!! or something

Also, this cold. THIS COLD! It is not awesome. I mean, it's mostly just a stuffy nose right now, no big deal, right? WRONG. For whatever reason, it is messing with my memory. Liiiike, two days ago I was working on my speech for school, and when I finished I was like, "Oh! I'd better time myself. I'll just run upstairs and grab my watch, which also has a stop watch." So I run upstairs, and in the, like, half a minute it took me to get to my room, I had forgotten what I was looking for. Then yesterday I almost left for school without my lunch. And then today I woke up and forgot to put my glasses on and was wondering why the heck everything looked so blurry. IT'S TERRIBLE!!!

And I have to work, like, 9 and a half hours on the day before Thanksgiving. I think I will DIE. I think I will also have to bag more turkeys than I ever want to see in my life. And they're so heavy! And COLD!!!! Please save me.

I want some chocolate

2009-11-19T04:43:04Z

I wrote...the outline to a speech! Which is all I need, really. I have to practice it tomorrow, hopefully it is 6-8 minutes!! I also have to make my visuals ): I have some pics I could maybe use, but honestly, tootsie pops is not a topic that screams the need for visuals. But we're supposed to have some no matter what.

Also, I am filled with a renewed hatred for Hannaford. I worked just 15 minutes shy of being able to get a dinner break, and they gave me my plain old regular break late, and we were SO busy, and I had to push carts three times, and...Yeah. Hannaford sucks.

And I really want some chocolate lately, but my mom didn't buy any this week! She bought starbursts instead D: Not that I don't like starbursts, I just feel an overwhelming desire to eat chocolate. Maybe because they have, like, ten different displays of it at work.

cold season

2009-11-18T04:48:27Z

So, there was a meteor shower last night, and since I'd never seen one before, I decided I ought to watch it. 'Cept, I'm a pansy and got scared to go outside in the dark by myself, so at 2 a.m. I woke up my little sister and made her come out with me in her PJs. Anyway, in half an hour we only saw about five meteors...not as cool as I was expecting. And then every time we saw one my little sister tells me how she could hear it, telling me how they light up because they collide with the atmosphere, which, Zachary told her, is eight miles away.

Also, I am getting my sister's cold, which means that my throat is VERY sore. My newest policy in the ridding of colds is to drink massive amounts of water to flush it out, and to cut down on my sugar intake, since I figure that sugar will make it fester or something. So far, my throat still hurts and I've had to use the bathroom a lot more than usual. And I'm doing bad at cutting down on the sugar. I like me some ice cream and candy...

My cat was cuddling with me, but I accidentally kicked him in the face and now he's ignoring me ):

And Pandora has decided to update my station, and now I have a bunch of new songs D: I like my old songs, those are what I want to listen to, not these. So I am ruthlessly giving the thumbs-down to songs within about five seconds of them starting, haha

nillabunny @ 2009-11-16T22:56:00

2009-11-17T03:56:28Z

So, I guess the practice for the alumni concert is tomorrow, but I tried to find out what time on Facebook, and it didn't mention the practice at all, so...yeah. I dunno if I'm gonna go.

Also, I started writing a new story, and I want this one to be really good, but I don't know if it is!!! I'd ask my sister, but she'll just say yes anyway to make me happy D: I WANT AN HONEST OPINION!!!! Should I post a little snippet of it here under a cut?

Also, I got a splinter at work, but it's teeny and I can't find it. So my finger just hurts whenever I touch things |:

And I still can't find much information on tootsie pops! My speech on them is due on Friday!!! I also need to research the Children's Internet Protection Act and start writing my final paper on that, and I need to go interview yet another librarian and write another report on that, and I need to see about bringing up my grade in one of my classes because it sucks, and I have to re-write the memo that my group got a really bad grade on... Why does school suck? Oh, and I need to talk to my adviser and see about changing my major, and then sign up for classes for next semester. At this point, I doubt I'll be able to change my major for next semester, but I'll take, like, some general courses or something, I guess. I still haven't told my mom that I want to change my major ): She'll probably be mad at me when I do.

TIRED

2009-11-12T20:22:43Z

So I am very tired right now. Last night I went to see the Fourth Kind, which freaked me out. Anyway, I watched Seven Pounds after, and I was sort of calmed down, but then as I was walking home Zac mentioned the Fourth Kind and I got freaked out again. Okay, so I wasn't scared of being abducted when I went to bed, but I kept remembering all the really creepy stuff from the movie, and I thought I might have nightmares about it or something. But I ended up distracting myself from all of that by thinking about plot lines for a couple of stories. And then...I just couldn't fall asleep. I dunno what was wrong, but I just couldn't sleep.

I ended up not falling asleep until about 6a.m. or something, and then my mom woke me up at 9, so I only got three hours of sleep or less. And then I had to work. And now I have to do homework. But I am SO TIRED!

Also, me and Manda got xxxholic 14 and Otomen 4 yesterday!!! Yay! I get to read them once I've finished my homework. Got some initiative now, huh?

siiiigh

2009-11-10T21:05:45Z

Sigh...So, I sent Communications guy the email mentioning my "girlfriend" and he didn't even notice it. He replied as if I had said nothing at all about anybody. It's a bit disappointing, to be honest. He's still being all creepy ):

Viruses, oh noes!

2009-11-10T01:45:46Z

Ah! Okay, so first off, Obsidian got a virus (or, a few I guess) and I had to have Manda's brother Zac fix him for me. But now he's good as new! He gave me Firefox, and it's a bit distracting. Very red.

Also...I've been trying to figure out how to put Communications guy off a little, and Manda suggested (because he came to my brother's play and Manda was also there) that I ask him how he liked my girlfriend. Well, I didn't think I'd be able to do it to his face, but...I just sent him an email! Ah! Anyway, she also suggested that I then start in complaining about the results of Question One. I didn't do that in the email, but...I may bring it up in class Friday..? Eeeeek! I'm a terrible person!!! But...it is very amusing xD
