Heyyyyy.

I have been LJ-less for the past two months because PCs suck and scare me with how easy they are to hack and I wanted to keep my journal private. Thus, let me also announce that I made my parents go Mac and I am typing this on a beautiful new iMac.

Let's see...what has happened in the past two months?

Got out of school and came home. Got my grades and it is a shiny-shiny 3.6 and I am very pleased. Went to Kansas, came back from Kansas, saw friends, started a job in San Jose (testing ringtones for the company Xringer) which is good because it pays well and I don't have to drive to get there (my brother-in-law drives me with him to work) but is also bad because the work is freaking boring and I suspect increasing my odds of carpal tunnel syndrome. Oh well.

I went to Mt. Lassen for a wedding and met a guy who works for Benefit cosmetics. I sufficiently wowed him with my castor and almond oil spiel and he offered to get me an internship with the company's chemist next summer. I am very psyched, and even if it doesn't happen at least I will have a connection in the field of cosmetics if I decide to go that way.

My grammar got even worse this summer. It saddens me.

I'm teaching Brian how to play guitar and he is incredible. His first formal guitar lesson was with me on Friday and he was able to do things that it took me 3 years to work up to. We'll play some more on Sunday...I want to see how he's improved! This also means that I've starting playing guitar again for the first time in 5 years...I'm rusty, but after a day of practice the iron oxide is getting buffed off.

I am such a nerd.

That's pretty much it. I am getting depressed being at home because I'm not learning anything new or doing anything that will change the world or even exercising that much. In short, I miss school and the bike paths and the interesting classes. Notsomuch the mountains of homework, but you have to take the good with the bad. This is a major difference between me and Brian - he's fine with watching tv all summer while I would go nuts if I had to do that. mmf.

Google Earth is fun and I like pants.

My boyfriend's roommate is a really talented artist who attacks clothes with a sewing machine to make them look cool.

Commission him like I'm doing and we can look cool together!

/shameless plug.

So today I bought pitas and hummus and carrots and found a supplier of flaxseed oil (which I did not purchase, because the cashier was a bitch)

First trip to IV alone. Aw, she's growing up.

Tomorrow will be the day of massive homework doing because I'm a slacker.

And yeah, it really does take a quarter to get used to a place.

And, ah, Bri? I'm going to slink into your pet shop someday and buy a fish. Something cute and hardy. Bettas have been suggested. I...want a mini koi fish. Like, a dwarf koi. A midget koi. Yes. I could also use a pound of gouda. And the FFX soundtrack. Maybe a llama, too. Hope you can deliver.

Ooooh onion dip. Guacamole. Foccacia. Cucumber-Melon lotion (rah, forgot my bottle at home), mom's spinach salad...It's too early to be missing this kind of stuff! Actually...I miss some of my books, too. I wonder if the school library has novels?

Ooohhhh....corn chips. los caps salsa. Shutting up now.

Really not-hungry and lightheaded. Remedying this with orange juice. Not working so far.

Iiii needs me some lvl 3 spheres and I know not where to get them. I'm almost at Mt Gagazet. Koumi help me. :< Because the faq's like "go steal some from Biran and Yenke!" and I'm like "I NEED 8. :O"

I think I'm totally going to go eat some corned beef. Fuck not being hungry. I just want this stupid lightheaded thing to go away.

Yeah, Kristen's tummy hurts like a BITCH right now. Thank you, period, for showing up right before my math final. The worst part is you can't even tell whether your tummy's feeling crappy or just wants some food. /bitch.

AND that cool thing from Sangrita. And everyone else who wants to should also do this. I am too lazy to add the music. For right now.

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your Livejournal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to. If you feel so inclined, upload them so others can enjoy/mock you.

1. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Love Rollercoaster. It is so....happy. (mp3 format)

2. The Dandy Warhols - Bohemian Like You. Well duh. This is practically my theme song. (mp3 format)

3. Red Rain - The White Stripes. This induces ear-hemorrhages the first time you listen to it. After that it's great. (m4a format)

4. RENT - Over the MoonRENT - Over the Moon. Take a leap of faith. (m4a format)

5. Blur - Far Out. Uh...sounds cool. (mp3 format)

6. Soundgarden - 4th of July. This strikes me as slightly "I AM SO HARDCORE ONLY NOT REALLY" music. I like the vocals. (m4a format)

7. Deep Purple - Hush. Dawwww. I love this song so much. It is so adorable, even if it is about the more than slightly unhealthy obsessive love. (m4a format)


Lunch then studying. Hurr-ah.

RAH. I NEED TO BE HOME RIGHT NOW.

I have never cried so much over one person. This time it's completely my fault.

Huzzah! It works! <3 Sorta. o0; Ah well, I'm a newbie at this kind of stuff so gimme a break. *stretches* almost done with that cursed Theodore Roosevelt essay!

(need to make some icons now!)

Yargh. Well, I tried. :x Better luck tomorrow?

"My Favourite Game"

I don't know what you're looking for
you haven't found it baby, that's for sure
You rip me up and spread me all around
in the dust of the deed of time

And this is not a case of lust, you see
it's not a matter of you versus of me
It's fine the way you want me on your own
but in the end it's always me alone

And I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby
losing my favourite game

I only know what I've been working for
another you so I could love you more
I really thought that I could take you there
but my experiment is not getting us anywhere

I had a vision I could turn you right
a stupid mission and a lethal fight
I should have seen it when my hope was new
my heart is black and my body is blue

And I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my favourite game
I've tried but you're still the same
I'm losing my baby
you're losing a saviour and a saint

New journal~ don't know the purpose of this baby yet, but I figured since livejournal no longer required codes a change might be a good thing~

Shall this be a friends-only journal? A character journal? An art-journal? An art-bitching journal? Ah, the possibilities are endless.

First things first - it's time to learn how to customize this baby! I'm tired of having a totally un-sexified journal.
