9:11 am - More Books!!!
|
#16 Disease:The Extraordinary Stories Behind History's Deadliest Killers by Mary Dobson I got this for Caleb's birthday, but I love it! It's super interesting and very awesome. Man, what a great review!!
#17 NightWatch by Sergei Lukyanenko I really don't know how to describe this book. Once I got into it, it was amazing - but getting into it took like 30-40 pages. It is originally written in Russian, so I'm reading a translation. Not that that's bad, but it shows occasionally. Apparently it was huge in Russia, and the movie they made was the biggest box office take ever - until the two sequels. I definitely want to get the other two books.
#18 Maximum Ride:The Final Warning by James Patterson I won't lie, I didn't love this as much as the other three. It was good, but a bit eco-preachy. The amazon.com reviews all said the same thing lol. Can't complain to much, since this was supposed to be a trilogy originally... but I was expecting more. I do want to read his books about he same concept but for adults. Hopefully those will be better.
I've been compiling a list of dates for the release of books I want:
4/29 Lady Friday comes out in paperback
5/6 Percy Jackson 4
5/6 The Host
8/1 Superior Saturday (I think this is off by a few days)
8/1 Twihlight 4
9/1 Charlie Bone 7 (Again, off by a few days)
4/28/2009 Bloodhound... seriously! A YEAR!!
Megan and I had an awesome time yesterday. Hooray for shopping!! And I loved Penelope way more than I thought I would. TO be honest, I really wasn't expecting much of anything from it. And I just loved it!

I've been really lazy about reading lately, especially since I got my new laptop.
#15 Un Lun Dun by China Mieville It reminded me alot of a book I read when I was younger called Captain Blue Bear and His Adventures... or something along those lines. It was kinda kooky, but really fun and creative.
On the new laptop front, I've been really happy with my Sony Vaio. I was very apprehensive about Vista, having heard so many terrible things, but it hasn't been too terrible. At first, it took like five minutes to boot and turn off. I found a how-to on CNET.com which helped me delete a bunch of stuff and change the startup programs so that now it starts as quickly as XP does. Also, one of my favorite things is that it has new games. You know how XP has solitare, minesweeper and all that? Vista has a redesigned Solitare, Mahjong, Chess, and a bunch of other stuff. It's pretty cool. I'm a mahjong addict. I haven't transfered my files over yet, but I really need to. Blah.

Last night Caleb and I went to see Beowulf at Briarwood. I loved it. Even though it made my inner English major cry profusely. They butchered parts of the legend, but the way the did it worked quite well for the movie format. The animation was stunning. They did that whole put the actors in suits and then digitize them thing. It was great. Plus, the grotesqueness of Grendel was fucking awesome. Hooray for animated violence!
Speaking of Caleb, I can't even begin to explain how crazy I am about him. Sometimes he drives me utterly insane- but even when he's doing it... I just can't get enough of him! I'll spare you my sappyness...
Here's the latest in the book world...
#6. I am Legend by Richard Matheson Like I said before, I loved the I am Legend story. It was very different from the movie, but quite excellent. I'd recommend both.
#7. Rebel Angels by Libba Bray Again, it's a love/hate for me. Parts of it I just love, and parts I hate. But the basic idea of the story is awesome. I've started the third one.
#8. Extras by Scott Westerfield This was a great way to revisit the Uglies world (since the trilogy ended so abruptly). That said, parts of it felt somewhat forced (the attempts at inter-weaving the story with Tally and Shay from Uglies).
#9 Maximum Ride:Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports by James Patterson This was awesome. I adore Maximum. I'd totally name my kid that. Man... I better never have kids. I was under the impression that this was the final book in the series, but amazon shows me this: Maximum Ride: The Final Warning It comes out in May, I'm totally excited.
#10 Some random Harlequin that I got at Value World. It was hilarious. And I don't know what I did with it.
current mood:  sleepy

8:56 am - Blah
|
I'm supposed to be working on my resume and job applications. Obviously, I really don't want to do that at the moment, so I'm procrastinating - and where better to procrastinate than LJ?
I've decided to read as many books as possible this year. I'm at 5 already, and halfway through #6 (I Am Legend). #5 was A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray, which Megan absolutely hated, but I absolutely loved. Although I can see why she hated it.
I've been sick the past week. Actually, for the past 10 months. Yaay MRSA! But it turns out that this past week I've had Drug Fever because apparently the Infectious Diseases doc didn't check to see if I'd have drug interactions with the new antibiotics. These ones are used to treat TB, the last ones were for malaria... I don't have those, but they like to give me antibiotics that are insane. Just to make my life a little more interesting. Anyway, the interaction? Causes the levels of Provigil in my blood to be elevated. This wouldn't be a big deal - but I'm on 6 times the recommended dose. Apparently, they got so high that it made me sick and instead of having crazy amounts of energy, they gave me crazy high random fevers and insane fatigue. Boo. On the upside, we think they may have worked.
Blah. OK. Really, time to work now... as soon as I look at ICanHasCheezburger...

Just remember that the things you put into your head are there forever, he said. You might want to think about that.
You forget some things, dont you?
Yes. You forget what you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget.

10:46 am - Fear my awesomeness!!!
|
Been going through my files, look what I found:
Honestly, I have to say, we are hands down the two most amazing people ever. And I do mean ever. These are the selected highlights of conversations that took place between January and May. There were several humorous sections about the pervy hobbit journals, but since they were of dubious taste and rather long and repetitive, they’ve been deleted to slim this baby down from 33 pages to a new and improved 8. Also not making the final cut was a lengthy conversation about something eric did to me. Not sure what, because at one point I got sick of bitching via AIM and called you on the phone. It was very heartwarming though. Damn, I should have saved the first mention of the imfamous Scotty. Eitherway, I figured since you have to start school and all that jazz, I’ll give you some entertainment. I also highly recommend photocopying and and forcing drumline to memorize to immortilize our spectacularnessAnd now, without further delay, I present to you, the highlights of our life:
A Lil Starshine: i just had to say the alphabet to figure if N comes before P
AtalantaNyx: does it??
A Lil Starshine: i'm an English major!!
AtalantaNyx: yes, exactly - you're not an Alphabet Major!!
(When I read this I had to say the alphabet to find out the answer!!!! OOOPS!)
A Lil Starshine: i'm taking weightlifting next semester
AtalantaNyx: smart!
A Lil Starshine:yeah i know!! i don't know how i'll concentrate with all the hot guys
AtalantaNyx: you are my hero
A Lil Starshine: you can have my grow a boyfriend if that helps!
AtalantaNyx: what the hell, why not
A Lil Starshine: don't you like my mullet definition? it's a tshirt
AtalantaNyx: i was laughing my ass off!
A Lil Starshine: i try
AtalantaNyx: and you succeeded
AtalantaNyx: like you always do
A Lil Starshine: hell yeah i do
A Lil Starshine: have i ever expressed my fondness for bull riders to you?
AtalantaNyx: hmmm, don't think so
AtalantaNyx: they're nuts
A Lil Starshine: i LOVE bullriders
AtalantaNyx: i say this in all sincerity: you are my hero
A Lil Starshine: you know something?
AtalantaNyx: wha?
A Lil Starshine: i'm my hero too. i never cease to amaze myself
AtalantaNyx: you never cease to amaze me either
A Lil Starshine: i'm taking weightlifting next semester
AtalantaNyx: smart!
A Lil Starshine: i don't know how i'll concentrate with all the hot guys
A Lil Starshine: yeah i know!! i was proud
AtalantaNyx: you are my hero
A Lil Starshine: man it's agood thing we're english majors
AtalantaNyx: i would die if i had to take organic chemistry'
A Lil Starshine: back back you evil creature! don't use those blasphomous words in my presence!!!
A Lil Starshine: "Who do you have to blow to get last bottle of bleach in Middle Earth anyway?"
AtalantaNyx: i thought you'd like it
A Lil Starshine: still the prettiest
AtalantaNyx: v. happy
AtalantaNyx: new diaries by someone else - almost as funny
http://www.magma.ca/~rickbard/VSJ/
A Lil Starshine: No longer even remotely pretty. Considering suicide
AtalantaNyx: Gollum: Day Five
Held captive by orcs in Barad-Dur. Have been forced to watch “Flipper” over and over until give in and tell them where Ring is. Damn evil methods of torture refined over millennia. Will not give in. Will remain strong.
Day Six
Orcs have switched to repeat viewings of “The Faculty.” Cannot cope. Have told them where Ring is.
A Lil Starshine: HEY!!! i like the faculty!! thaTS one of my favorite movies
AtalantaNyx: Too bad for Isildur’s Heir, who has no Horn of Gondor (and hobbits have expressed no interest in his stubble collection) since he obviously fancies Frodo. Sam will kill him if he tries anything.
AtalantaNyx: Sam will kill (Faramir, Gollum, Gandalf, Nazgul, Gimli, Boromir, Elrond) if he tries anything
AtalantaNyx: all those pervy hobbit fanciers!
A Lil Starshine: I KNOW!!!!
A Lil Starshine: Have been getting very strange letters from someone calling herself "Stacey" who wants to do obscene things to my elfhood. Fortunately have super-duper elf vision so can run away if I see her coming.
AtalantaNyx: Arwen: Day Two
Bored and lonely. Regret having sent Aragorn away. So what if he wanted me to dress up in a curly wig and hop around on my knees during intimate moments? Am sure other humans have equally odd hangups. Wish I could be interested in Elf men, but ever since debacle with Glorfindel back in Second Age when he accused me of copying his hairstyle, have given up on my own kind.
A Lil Starshine: lol
AtalantaNyx: Legolas got all shirty when I accused him of trying on my dresses. He says I have impugned his masculinity. What masculinity?
A Lil Starshine: Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most offputting. Forsee dark times ahead, very dark times
A Lil Starshine: HAHAA
AtalantaNyx: saw ROTK again last night. V. hard to stop myself from laughing. Dratted diaries!
A Lil Starshine: Legolas may be hotter than me.
I wonder if he would like me if I was King?
A Lil Starshine: lol
AtalantaNyx: hee hee hee
A Lil Starshine: Legolas told me that a shadow and a threat had been growing in his mind.
I think Legolas might be kinda gay.
Nope, not King.
AtalantaNyx: HA
A Lil Starshine: My God, is everyone in this movie gay but me?
Not so sure about me either.
AtalantaNyx: In Edoras. King Theoden giving me attitude. He was all, "Are you King here? Last time I checked, I was King here. I'm lookin' around and I don't see anyone else with a crown on his head. Eh? Eh?"
Was forced to admit I am indeed still not King.
In revenge, stole his wallet when he was not looking and used it to open charge account at Gap of Rohan. Have bought matching poke bonnets for Gimli and Legolas.
AtalantaNyx: Unexpectedly victorious in battle of Helm's Deep, but celebration ruined by obnoxious postcard from Faramir, which included picture of himself on beaches of Osgiliath with tiny Ringbearer and fat companion, sharing a pina colada and wearing colorful shorts. Postcard reads:
Dear Aragorn,
Thanks for the Ring and the hobbits. They are small, but v. bendy. Just what I always wanted! Still have fond memories of that night we spent together in Minas Tirith. Love and kisses, Faramir.
God damn Faramir. Might as well just have let Boromir have the Ring and cut out the middleman. At least I know Sam will kill him if he tries anything.
Still not King.
A Lil Starshine: "Boromir, quit trying to cut off Frodo's head while he's asleep so you can get at the Ring."
A Lil Starshine: Hope am not turning into pervy hobbit-fancier like Uncle Windermir. Not after what happened to *him.* Merry and Pippin are cute little things, too...
AtalantaNyx: ring-wraith #5:Got slightly over-frisky with Ringbearer at Weathertop. Aragorn went all wonky and possessive and set me on fire. And indeed, Sam did try to kill me although did not notice had been hit in knees with frying pan until later on.
A Lil Starshine: haha
A Lil Starshine: Also, Sam gave me fabulous backrub and bubble bath. Platonic, brotherly love so wonderful. Wasn't quite entirely sure why he needed to suck on my toes, but am assured it has something to do with Elf medicine.
A Lil Starshine: Today Legolas began stroking my inner thigh with his bow.
Was stunned. Had no idea Legolas wanted the Ring too.
AtalantaNyx: LMAO
A Lil Starshine: Gandalf showed me very strange trick he can do. Apparently pointy wizard hat not just for show.
A Lil Starshine: JHockey301: so you like him
A Lil Starshine: no i like to make out with boys i despise
AtalantaNyx: hee hee
A Lil Starshine: stupid questions
A Lil Starshine: stupid answers
A Lil Starshine: i smell
A Lil Starshine: so i'm doing something about it
AtalantaNyx: i smell popcorn
A Lil Starshine: it ain't me
AtalantaNyx: nope, it's sweetmates'
A Lil Starshine: lol oh ok then
A Lil Starshine: be back in a bit
AtalantaNyx: k

AtalantaNyx: and i have a brit lit paper on BLAKE (BLEH!) for thurs
A Lil Starshine: why don't you listen to me
A Lil Starshine: ewwww BLAKE he has cooties
AtalantaNyx: not list'ning, not list'ning
AtalantaNyx: is misjudgement a real word?
A Lil Starshine: i thought so....
AtalantaNyx: me too, but spell check doesn't think so
A Lil Starshine: hmmmm
A Lil Starshine: spell check=satan??
AtalantaNyx: no, microsoft=satan
AtalantaNyx: spell check=denzien of hell
A Lil Starshine: but spell check is by microsoft
A Lil Starshine: so spell check = spawn of satan?
AtalantaNyx: spell check=fallen angel
A Lil Starshine: either way
A Lil Starshine: damn eric and his horrible distraction of me
AtalantaNyx: EVIL
AtalantaNyx: the spell check, that is
A Lil Starshine: yes
A Lil Starshine: ok time to go be productive
AtalantaNyx: *snort of disbelief*
AtalantaNyx: yes, but some are more so than others
A Lil Starshine: lol
A Lil Starshine: poor richards almanac is a bunch of horrible horrible bullshit that only benefits middle class men
AtalantaNyx: ok
AtalantaNyx: lol
AtalantaNyx: i take it you were force-fed franklin in american lit
A Lil Starshine: whatever gave you that idea?
AtalantaNyx: shot in the dark, really
A Lil Starshine: LOL

A Lil Starshine: he was quite the bastard you know
A Lil Starshine: had multiple illigitamate children
AtalantaNyx: literally AND figuratively
AtalantaNyx: wow
A Lil Starshine: and jefferson slept with his slaves and didn't free them when he died because he was 1 million dollars in debt
A Lil Starshine: THESE GREAT MEN founded our country
A Lil Starshine: and people wonder why bill clinton let monica lewinsky play with his dingaling
AtalantaNyx: WOAH!!!
A Lil Starshine: LOL
AtalantaNyx: LMAO
A Lil Starshine: thought you would enjoy that
A Lil Starshine: atleast i'm learning something
AtalantaNyx: and the funnest shit, too!
A Lil Starshine: lol yeah
A Lil Starshine: my prof goes, and in case you haven't realised yet most english profs aren't to tightly wound
AtalantaNyx: it's true!
AtalantaNyx: and hippie math profs, too
A Lil Starshine: thats a contradiction of terms
A Lil Starshine: hippie and math prof
AtalantaNyx: no, it's a paradox
A Lil Starshine: contradiction, paradox, same dif
AtalantaNyx: yeah, whatever
AtalantaNyx: it's true!
A Lil Starshine: thats a scary combination
A Lil Starshine: thats like the two evils of the universe united
AtalantaNyx: in a very entertaining and amusing way
A Lil Starshine: i swear the two most common phrases in my vocab are damn hippies and damn math professors
AtalantaNyx: BWAH HAH HAH!! FEAR ME!
AtalantaNyx: um, did i just say that out loud?

Today was a good day. Well, actually 85% of it sucked ass. But the 15% that didn't... damn that part was awesome.
Today, I woke up, and GOT OUT OF BED with a single phone call, at 8am. Showed up at work 30 minutes early, swam and pulled out some polo moves, taught lessons (this sucked, this has been the 'don't listen to Kate' weekend), studied for my Probate exam for 3 hours and got paid to do it, came home, bummed around, got dressed, had steaks with Da (mom's in Chi-town with the fam), more just rockin out, had a god talk with Da about the fact that he and mom did a good job raising us, and more rockin out.
I've been up since 8, no nap, and I've felt !good! the entire time. Honestly, I can't remember the last time I felt this awake. Totally get why people like it.
I've had way too much excess energy the past week. Which means it's time to pick up running again. I actually miss running. It was great for getting my frustrations out. And I have a lot of that right now. And I miss lifting weights like woah. Hopefully I can get back into that this fall. Plus, I'm thinking I'll join the AA Masters program for swimming. I miss excercise. Not to mention the fact that I'm disgusted with how out of shape and overweight I've gotten in this past year. Yeah. Totally need to fix that.
Still stressed about this summer. Haven't solidified any plans. I want to take an internship at this domestic violence shelter in Howell, but with gas at $3.20 I don't know if I can afford to. But it's totally up my alley and I've wanted to do victim advocacy for a while. So, maybe it'd be worth it. It's that or Domino's or Foster Swift. I dunno. I need to meet with my advisor.
I'm completely entranced by the sound of my unusually loud typing. It's crazy. And theraputic and relaxing. I'm so effed up sometimes. For real.
Oh, and during immigration on Thusday, I came up with the most amazing idea for a futuristic/conspiracy/murder/dictatorship/clone story. Megan, ask me for details about the story involving people's memories being stolen. You'll love it.
On that note... Let's hug it out, bitch.

"Left untreated, narcolepsy may be psychosocially devastating. "
Yeah, that statement pretty much sums it all up. It has been both psychologically and socially devastating. Even when properly treated, it's still pretty damn devastating.
I can't help but wonder if I can sue the previous sleep doctor for malpractice. After all, she ignored my complaints for a solid 3 years. Perhaps an action for Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress?
I'm not bitter. No, not at all. I love having to pay up the ass to have the privledge of staying awake! Go me!

So the semester is winding down.
I feel like I've learned absolutely nothing since January.
I still have to take two corporate law tests. I'm gonna get like a 70 in that class... if I'm lucky.
Still need to figure out all this internship shit.
I'm ready to get out of Lansing. Not that I really spend any time here. I don't know. Nothing really feels right anymore. Kinda like I'm just going through the motions. I mean, is this seriously how it's going to be? How the hell am I going to make it in the "real world". I'm never gonna find a job. So stressful. I feel like a failure for moving back in with my folks like I always swore I'd never do. But after these past few months, I don't really get a choice in the matter.
What the hell am I going to do for the rest of my life.
I need to clean. Like six months worth. I hate this shit so damn much.

I have a staph infection in my elbow.
A fucking staph infection in my fuckinng elbow.
How does this shit happen to me? I mean, seriously! The most ridiculous shit happens to me.
Not to mention the conspiracy. Everytime I get drugged, they must go through the book and find the find the biggest fucking pills. It's ridiculous. Provigil is huge, so is the new Wellbutrin, and Keflex? Holy shit, it must be for horses. Rigoddamdiculous.
Oh, and, just to make things more fun. Not only can I not move my arm, but I get to go to the ER towmorrow if it hasn't improved. And I hate hospitals.
On the upside, Maximum Ride: Schools Out is in paperback! And I gots it!

"People are afraid of themselves, of their own realityl their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. Thats what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should tand up for your right to feel pain."
Jim Morrison
"You think he belongs to you because you want to belong to him. It's a bad word, 'belong'. Especially when you put it with somebody you love. Love shouldn't be like that. You can't love what you don't own. Could you really love somebody who was absolutely nobody without you?"

Oh how I love Michigan.
Except, not so much.
Seriously, we got an inch of snow today. Sucky, but not horrible. The ridiculous part? By rush hour it was 40 - although it feels much warmer. Seriously, I saw a guy shoveling his sidewalk in shourts and a t-shirt. If it wasn't for the inch of crap and slush, Id probably be wearing flip flops right now.
And the best part is I get to drive home tonite in this crap after my Probate class.
Real excitement there. Listen to lecture about dead people, then drive home in slushy weather. Score.
We better still be going to Cinncinati Megan!

I've hit a new low.
I watched Dancing with the Stars.
And I liked it.
What! I was waiting for House to come on (hilarious episode) and it was that or American Idol.
In slightly less disturbing news, I'm watching Happy Feet. There's a preview for Order of the Phoenix. Badass. And... for Nancy Drew, which looks suprisingly cute.
Have fallen in love with Dropping Daylight, HelloGoodbye, and Mika. Wow. Those are three extremely different groups, not even close to the same genre.
Anyway.
I think I should be a little more concerned about my classes. But I'm not. And... yeah.
New goal in life: build time machine, travel back in time, party hardy with Hemingway. Well that, or world domination. You know, whichever.
Cincinati Thursday. I think I spelled that wrong. Meh. Oh well. I'm kinda excited to go check out an English program... even if it's not me that wants to go to school there. Maybe this summer I'll go look at Indiana and Illinois. Road trip, what? Also thinking about maybe schools in Chicago. That's totally out of left field. Why can't I just be a professional nerd, damnit?

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck.
Seriously? This shit isn't even funny anymore.
I have literally spent the past month suffering serious sleep deprivation like symptoms despite sleeping constantly. I've forgotten what day it is... hell what month it is. I've barely done my school work and I keep spacing out during conversations. I have been so fucking out of it all because I got hooked on those damn amphetamines. This is the first time in almost two years where I haven't had them in my system. And the whole withdrawl month? Not fucking cool. Problem is, nothing else gets me out of bed. So now, not so much with the amphetamine addiction, more so with the slowly killing my liver with modafinil. Fuck.
I mean, yeah, I'm glad it's finally kicking in. But a) this shit is costing me over $600 a month, 2) I feel like I'm coked up without the shakeyness and iii) I didn't go to bed last night. Yeah. That's right. Stayed up all fucking night. No reason. Just had too much energy. Didn't FEEL LIKE SLEEPING. Not COULDN'T sleep. DIDN'T FUCKING FEEL LIKE IT. And now, now I feel like I could do an hour NOMAR Nightmare set and not even be breathing hard.
How the fuck does that work.
GOD DAMN. And soon the whole exhaustion is going to hit me. NOt to mention that I've fucked up my sleep schedule just when I was starting to feel decent. Why. WHY WHY WHY.
Oh, and I have to go home this weekend. I have to work. And I have a headlight out.
And about that headlight out? Yeah. Got a fucking ticket last night for it. Guy told me that while I was speeding (I THOUGHT I was doing the speed limit... turns out the speed limit was 15mph slower) the only reason he pulled me over was for the headlight. Nice. Luckily, he was really awesome about. Completely understood that I was confused on the speed limit. Was glad I already knew I had a light out and was planning to fix it. Worked out fine. But still. FUCK.
And then there's the whole Adam thing. But I don't even want to go into that right now, because I don't think I can deal with the cryin that will result from it.
Fuck.
Screw you life, I fucking quit.
