8:33 pm	Still standing in the wind, but I never waved bye-bye; Lord I try. I now have the master keys to two campus buildings. Of course, both are full of nothing worth stealing, and I wouldn't rob them anyway, but it is a fun little power trip. Very little. Extremely little. Okay, I've got nothing, but that's not the point. Dammit, I think I just posted this by accident. Whoops. In any case. I was sick today, and yet I actually got some of my spanish project and accounting homework done. And they're not even due till Thursday and Wednesday! Yay me! I feel so warm and fuzzy and on top of things. Cast your stone?

8:52 pm	I think my cat has Klinefelter's Syndrome. Strange, but not all that rare (about 1 in 3,000). Basically that would make him an XXY. Still stupid. Yes, I'm breaking my characteristic LJ-silence. So my accounting class is amazing. Not because of the subject matter, which is mind-numbing in and of itself, but because of my teacher, who is.... uh. He's great. For anyone else who goes to URI, take something with Joseph D'Adamo. He's just fantastic. So changes in my life. If I haven't told you, you're not going to know until facebook tells you so. Well anyways. My econ class is outrageously boring, my spanish class makes my brain melt, and calculus for business is far easier than physics, so I don't hate it. And that's all that really needs to be said.

1:06 am	The fanfiction for which I am searching is not to be found on this internet. Sigh. I think I may survive. Yes, this is my update, after months of inactivity. Fuck it all. Cast your stone?

7:57 pm	I'm back to my usual state. Which is good, to be in equilibrium. I'm good like that. I've started going to the Y regularly. I feel pretty good. And even if I am pretty bad at quitting smoking, I'm still going days at a time without even having one. Which is a lot better than miss half-a-pack-a-day was doing. I'm seeing Sarah and possibly Vanessa on Friday. I'm really quite excited about this. I've missed them all, and I really want to see them again before we get so old we all forget about each other forever. I want to be around my bay view girls again for a little while. Maybe if I am, I'll go back to that superhero of homework state and I'll be able to leap all physics problems in a single bound. I have a physics exam tomorrow, so of course I'm updating my livejournal. Ew. I really hate physics, and I wish I'd just done well the first time around so I wouldn't have to be taking this stupid fucking class. Abillify makes me a lot less clear than I used to be. It's like losing several IQ points, and actually, that's really what happened. I honestly don't know if it's that I was having seizures and there's brain damage, or if the Abillify has just dulled me down some, but either way, I'm like a different person in terms of intelligence. It's really frustrating. I used to be able to understand all of this stuff by just doing a few hours' worth of studying and get an A. Now I have to start a week ahead of time, and I still need to study till late the night before the test. I know, I know, I'm bitching about being just like everyone else, but dammit, I miss the sharpness. Current Mood: aggravated Current Music: Circus Theme Music Cast your stone?

2:21 am	All your dreams are waking up I love songs off the American Pie soundtracks. They sum up a year or so nicely. My cat is currently lying on my foot like it's his job. The Rhody Rides meeting went well tonight, no one needed decapitation and someone was even unnecessarily nice to me, above and beyond what was expected of my fellow members. Physics still sucks. Spanish is still blah. Art is still alternately amazing and evil. Life is like that. My Adderall wore off an hour ago. Can you tell? Current Music: Joseph Arthur- Honey & the Moon Cast your stone?

12:38 am	Good Day Sunshine I'm a happy, bouncy little camper lately. Why? I'll tell you dammit. Because life is a beautiful thing! Cheer up, emo kids, and smile! I recently discovered that when my core people are not online, my whole little world unravels. I've become so utterly addicted to IM lately. It's pathetic. However, it's fun! Anyone who has not yet read Ender's Game, run out right now and just do it. The book is amazing, the whole series, doubly so. Current Mood: amused Cast your stone?

11:52 pm	And if you should feel the need to drop everything and bake, please feel free to do it with me ( survey ) So the Narragansett Blockbuster has neither The Blair Witch Project or Primal Fear (?!) so I'm left to updating Livejournal on a Monday night. Want some amazing cookies? Go here: http://cookie.allrecipes.com/az/ChocoChoco.asp and make them. Your whole life will look a little bit prettier, I promise, emo kids. If you want to support Rhody Rides, go to the Blessing of the Fleet on Friday/Saturday and check us out, we'll have a booth there. I'll be manning it both days, and if you come see me, I'll give you special discounts on our AMAZING baked goods. The Blessing of the Fleet is cool, the booths and tents they have set up there are cool, and stopping drunk driving in South County is FANTASTIC, so come on down. We're down there working hard for a cause we believe in, please come and support us! {end pimpage} Cast your stone?

10:18 pm	I still have the black Tshirt... bitch My dad and I went chasing the storm last night. It was AMAZING. We went over both the Jamestown and Newport bridges, and there were these massive lightning bolts coming down on three sides as we crossed them. We left at like 10:30 and didn't get back until 1 AM, at which point my mother smacked us both around for scaring her. And it was so fucking unbearably cool, you would not even believe it. I saw more lightning last night than I have in my life, and it didn't get old, even after hours. I'd describe it, but it was too fantastic to manage. Plus, it was a nice father-daughter-insanity-bonding night. In short, life is cool. 1 sinned - Cast your stone?

2:41 am	Girl, I wanna take you to a gay bar! My cat just rediscovered that I have hair, and that it can be gnawed upon. Aren't I lucky? I raised $5000 on Tuesday for Rhody Rides. Well, I guess saying "I" would be going a little too far, Alyssa and I made the presentation, but I'm still proud of myself because for once I didn't freeze up or shake or talk too quietly. I made a good presentation, and I'm happy with that. Plus, that makes me 50% responsible for a huge donation that's going to really help us when school starts. Yay. If you've never heard the song "Gay Bar" by Electric Six, now is the time, people. It's fast, short, funny, and awesome. It's also one of those wonderful songs that get exponentially better the louder they're played. Go for it. Current Mood: happy 3 sinned - Cast your stone?

6:05 pm	Well, my livejournaling was interrupted by both of my computers being stupid, but now both are living and breathing once more. So, to summarize: -Doctor Who is an amazing show -My new psychiatrist is the shit -Brian is an interesting person -Sohee is in Korea again (cry~!) -Chelsea was gone, is now back (yay!) -Ca is gone, will be back soon (waiting!) -My family is silly, but takes nice long vacations and leaves me at home, which is AWESOME -Wiping a harddrive is a painful experience, and beautiful wallpaper files get lost in the shuffling madness -Kingdom Hearts II needs less cutscenes. Yes, I know, this has been said many times, but holy shit!!! -I dressed up like a pirate and saw PotCII in Providence on Friday night -aaaaand I'm getting a dog!! No, none of you have to care. Happy summer, babies. Current Mood: amused Current Music: COWS WITH GUNS 2 sinned - Cast your stone?

1:48 am	Prom was fun. It wasn't fanfuckingtabulous, but it was definitely enjoyable, and the party at Reece's (Reese's? Isn't that more of a candy than a name?) afterwards was really, really fun. I was supposed to come home sometime that night, but I ended up sleeping over with everybody else. I didn't want to leave while I was still enjoying myself, and that didn't stop till I passed out watching Team America at 4 AM, so I slept over :D Everyone looked great at prom and after, and in spite of Brian doing his damnedest to get us totally lost afterwards, we found the house and had one hell of a time. Cheers to all. I feel good, because this was the last thing I wanted to get done as a high school senior, and it's over with. It's a sense of closure, at least. Plus, my dress was purdy. I'm still sad that I couldn't go to Ca's prom with her, but there was nothing I could do about it. I tried. And it is good I didn't try to dance tonight, because my knees are KILLING me. I have no idea what I did to them, but they're in a world of pain. I'm hobblicious. (Hobble-licious, not hobbit-licious. Ew.) And on that note I'm really, really tired, so I'm going to run away from this utterly pointless LJ entry. Current Mood: crazy 1 sinned - Cast your stone?

2:15 am	Rhody Rides will succeed if I have to drag it along every step of the way, and it kinda looks like that's how it's going to be done- more on that later. I'm startlingly mellow right now. And, I recently bought several wonderful books. And, I think she was telling the truth I need. ( fears ) Well on that startlingly upbeat note, I think I'm going to go find a book.

3:02 am	1 in 2000; MegaBitch; Quitting Smoking v. Mother I got into another accident that I didn't cause on Monday. I yielded at a yield sign, getting onto an on-ramp for rt 4 (not getting off, not getting onto the highway, mind, entering the top of the ramp from that side of the road). It was the one right after the movie theater, getting onto rt 4 South. I yielded to a bigass van turning left across that intersection, like I was supposed to, and I got rear-ended by a woman who was riding a little too close to me, and just didn't see me stop. My car sustained extremely minimal damage (my bumper's kind of fucked up, as is the "G" of MUSTANG written across the back), but it's all cosmetic. Her car was royally fucked, and probably totalled. The whole front was smashed in, every light gone, the hood looked like a joke, and she had to put it in neutral to move it out of the middle of the road. Plus it was leaking something very blue all over the place. The worst part of this? Besides that horrible moment when I walked out of my car and went to look at the back of my baby, having seen how hers looked in my rear-view mirror? When she hit me, I didn't get that shock of OH GOD OH GOD YOU'RE GOING TO DIE that characterized my other two (blameless) accidents. I didn't get the adrenaline rush, or the fight-or-flight. I just thought "Oh no, not again," braced myself to cry over my car, and got out to check the damage. I didn't even register as having been in a dangerous situation, which I was: she hit me so I almost went in front of the van coming around the corner, which would have resulted in the van hitting me directly on the driver's side, which would have resulted in me being killed, which really sucks. I just put the car in park and said, and I quote, "What the fuck? No fucking way... What, are we serious here? Holy shit," (direct quote, I remember that much cause it became kind of funny a few minutes later) and got out to call the cops and exchange insurance information. The woman was very nice and apologetic, after she'd straightened out that no one was hurt. Someone who'd been directly behind us couldn't stay, but called the cops from her cell phone. The woman had trouble finding her phone, so that came in handy. Mine, of course, was at home. Aguh. So she had to wait for a tow truck to come and get her car and take her somewhere else, and I had to giggle over the sheer ridiculousness that is my luck with driving. I spent a couple hours on this, because I wanted a figure to match up with the story. The chances of getting into any car accident in a year are 1 in 5. The chances of getting into 3 (cause that's what we're at, folks, 3 accidents in just about 13 months) are 1 in 5. The chances of getting into 3 accidents in 1 year in which I caused NONE of the accidents, NOT taking into account the fact that I only got my license in December 2004 (which should make me more dangerous), are 1 in 1953. 1 in 2000. Whatthefuck. That day would not have been as bad if I hadn't just come from seeing a shrink that I HATED- she was such an evil bitch! ( Lauren rants on the evilness of the bitchy shrink ) The other thing that made that day worse? I had set out that morning to quit smoking. When I told my mom about that at the end of the day, she said "Oh, for God's sake, smoke! This is not the day to quit! You can quit tomorrow." Which made me laugh, because when your mother encourages you to smoke, it's been a bad day. This morning, my car wouldn't start. Apparently, the battery coincidentally died two days after an accident. GAR. Current Mood: honorghibble Current Music: Steppenwolf- Magic Carpet Ride Cast your stone?

6:08 pm	INSANITY ABOUNDS but no kissing. Life is sad like that. I'm listening to Draco and the Malfoys, who rock hard :D but they're not on Limewire, just MySpace (ew). So, so sad. ( Lauren bitches about almost losing her 4.0 in English ) The bottoms of my feet are ridiculously infected. I had a series of accidents/shoe malfunctions, and then didn't use bandaids, and now I'm disgusting. All this for clumsiness and pink flipflops. I put most of the pics from Barcelona online, once I figure out the link, I'll post it here. Current Mood: dead Current Music: dead Cast your stone?

1:33 am	Well, it's exam time (two of the three I have to take this semester, tomorrow, starting at 8 AM) so of course I'm LJing. I went out to buy two things- a large coffee, cause it's exam time, and a pocket folder, cause I have to have a portfolio for my Shakespeare class. And then, on the way home, I had THE MOST perfect radio experience ever- Circle of Life (my man Elton John), Layla (unplugged version, Eric Clapton), Rockafeller Skank (Fatboy Slim YAY), Bat Country (Avenged Sevenfold), Take the Money and Run (Steve Miller), Mr. Jones (Counting Crows), and Layla (original version, Eric Clapton again). This perfect chain of events just kept going, so, being me, I just kept driving around southern Narragansett. Then, less than a mile from home, I was administered an involuntary brake test. A possum apparently thought that hanging out in the middle of Rt 1A North was the thing to do. I saw the eyes, and my foot was on the brake, and I slammed that motherfucker down and prepared to turn whichever way the little bastard didn't. It, of course, being a fucking possum, didn't move till I was fully stopped, approximately five feet from its face. At which point it scuttled off into the woods (don't know why that annoys me, but somehow I hate that possums have the gall to scuttle after pulling stupid possum stunts like that. Also, that they try and have a silent "o" in their name- fuck you! You're a possum!) That was one hell of a screeching noise, and tomorrow if I get the chance I'm going to go and check out my tire marks. However, the whole thing just confirmed that my car has awesome brakes, awesome nonskidding powers, and I am a responsible and not terrible driver. And I'm writing about this because... it kinda sucked, and I don't want to study the subjunctive. ( Bitching about Haber... ) Speaking of Spanish- you know that phrase, "Vaya con Dios," that they teach you is a nice way to say goodbye, means "go with God"? I found out that in a couple Latin American countries, it means "go to hell". Thought I'd share that, because ha ha fucking ha, high school Spanish sucks. Oh oh oh! Pimping now: http://wwww.cautionzero.net/cherub If you liked Angel, but you liked making fun of it almost as much, that's the place to go. They're making their own version of Angel, and it's kind of (read: insanely) hilarious.
