For those who still ponder my existence and missed the post where I said I switched journals:

Now at [info]selbsthass. Telling you now because this journal is going to be nuked in a couple of days, after I've backed it up.

bye bye

moving out kthxbuhbyelolol [12 Mar 2006|02:22am]
This is officially the last post in this journal. Yeah, that's right, I've made another one. I generally do this when I have moved onto a different phase in my life. Therefore, I am now declaring this journal the record of my "Transition from High School to College" saga. And now that I'm two quarters into my first year of college and a bunch of other shit has happened along the way, I've decided that it's the time to make another journal.

Also, this is an opportunity to...I don't want to say "weed out," because that would be too harsh...separate, I guess, the people who actually do care about whatever I write in this journal, and the people that either don't or with whom I have lost touch. You know, new people come in, old people kind of shuffle off, but life goes on, and whoever remains, remains.

So, that's all I really have to say. Thanks for boarding the totalabnegation train.

The Toilets Consume Souls [10 Mar 2006|03:25am]
So, Thursday I finally moved out of the hellhole that is 1013 (and the tenth floor in general) and moved into 821. It's on the same side of the building, but it's closer to the elevator. Already I can tell the difference in the noise level...Not too much noise going on, whereas you would swear the Cincinnati Zoo had lost some of its Drunken Chimpanzee exhibit on 10. My roommate's name is Mavis...Pretty quiet, which suits me just fine. I'm not sure if Jasmine knew that I was moving out for good, however, I had taken the plastic drawers with me too (the ones that her mother had given me), so all of my stuff is gone. She and Paula were going somewhere at the same time I was moving my first cartful of stuff out. No matter, she'll find out when she comes back, anyway. I bet you she'll have told her mother, I bet you.

The other thing I've noticed about the eighth floor: the water pressure. Freakin' hell, I knew about the toilets, just because most of the people on the tenth floor ended up having to go to 8 to use the bathroom when Housekeeping was in, but when I took a shower, the water was coming out of the showerhead pretty fiercely, too. The toilets are about five times louder there, and for some stupid reason, I always cover my ears when I use the toilet on the eighth floor.

Uhm, grades are pretty good. I have a 98.5% in Stats right now, probably a B in Chem and Psych for final (neither of the grades have been posted on Blackboard yet), A on my English portfolio, and B or A in Sociology. Speaking of which, I got 100% on my paper in that class. Yey. I am officially winning at life right now.

I know I said that I was going to quit Starbucks a long time ago, but come on people, it's right across the street from the damn hall, I can't break the habit lol. So, at least to curb my caffeine intake, I decided to start ordering the Vanilla Creme, as not only is it caffeine free, but I can order a Venti and it won't cost me as much as ordering a Grande White Mocha or Vanilla Latte. I really, really need to stop going there lol. And holy fuck, speaking of money, I had no clue that I had blown so much of the money I still had left on my ID.

I actually had to get a new ID today. Apparently most of the cards issued at orientation had faded to a point where keys started appearing across people's pictures. I was told that this was just a security feature that had, unfortunately, resulted in some messed-up looking pictures when they faded. It shouldn't be happening again now. I was kind of hoping that I could take a new picture, because sheesh, the one I have now is so goddamn ugly it makes me cry.

Only a week and two exams left! and then it's off to Florida.

Nothing To Do With The Way Everything's Changed [07 Mar 2006|02:16am]
[ mood | hopeful/lonely/tired ]
[ music | Bleach OST I - Nothing Can Be Explained (Vocal Version) ]

Oh man, I haven't updated in a week. How sad.

Well, the roommate situation has finally come to an end. I met with Jennifer (RC of this building) and she told me that she knew all about how rowdy the tenth floor is. She noted the fact that many of the girls on that floor are sophomores and have already established their friendships there, making it extremely difficult for a freshman to feel welcome or get along in this situation. I told her how complicated the situation was (fact that roommate knows like the entire damn floor, plus that our families know each other) and she came up with a solution. It looks like I'm not going to be able to buy out that empty room on this floor (nor will anyone else until the girl checks out of the damn thing lol), but there is a room opening up on the eighth floor, which is by far quieter than the tenth. One of the new occupants is this shy girl, quiet like me, who hasn't gotten to know many people around the building, and Jennifer thought that we would be a perfect match. So now all I have to do is meet with Jennifer again tomorrow, and she will arrange everything, and hopefully by the end of this week I will be out of this room and on the eighth floor. I was so happy after I left that meeting, I could have jumped off the top of the damn building and floated. :D It's not that my confrontational skills are bad or anything, because believe me, if I need to confront someone I will, but the fact that our families do know each other make it more likely for some drama to start between my roommate's family and mine, not just the two of us. Because if she was brass enough to make me look like the bad guy before (and be chicken enough to tell her mother but not say it to my face), then only God knows what else she could do.

I had to write yet another paper for English...It was only two pages long, and I had to turn it in a little later, but the professor told me not to worry about it, since I had As on my last two papers anyway lol. So, turned that in, and then there was the Stats exam yesterday. I'm pretty confident that I did fairly well on it, it's just that I wasn't so sure about the 2-sample T-test thing...I mean, getting the pooled one was easy enough, but I got kind of confused there, as I forgot whether I still had to calculate the pooled standard deviation or use the formula where the sample standard deviations were squared. Oh well, I'll find out how I did soon enough. [EDIT] I got a 97%. Wee.

Oh my God, I hung out all freaking night/morning in the 24-hour computer lab Thursday night. Death. I had to take a nap when I got out of class LMAO. Justin fixed the wireless on my laptop...and when he did I wanted to die, because I swore everything was okay when I set it up the first time. The strange thing is, it got signals, yet when I went to the lab I didn't get a thing. Weird.

So, I kinda went to Anime UC Friday night (there was a large group watching something else, I guess, and then there was Justin and a couple of other people (and a few in-and-out people) in another room. We watched Harmagedon...hahaha that movie is so fucked up. Then there was Karas (six-part OVA), an episode of Bottle Fairy XD! and some other stuff, including this slightly pervy/bizarre as hell anime called Photon. It was about midnight when I left.

One thing, I pretty much stayed to myself the entire time. Justin tried to get me into the conversation at the front of the room a few times, but for some reason, that old feeling that I had in high school came right back and bit me in the ass; that very, very small feeling that results from the fear that you will never fit in anywhere. Maybe it's because even though I'm tough, have snark, and look intimidating, I'm still pimply-faced lol. Justin asked me a good question though: Do I really enjoy being a hermit? I don't know...I mean, the life I live is pretty much ideal for me because being around too many people at once drains the hell out of me (when I do attempt socialization), and the fact that I make my near-asceticism known with my attitude keeps away people with whom I wouldn't want to engage in any sort of interaction. The thing is, after a while, the desire to meet at least someone new still comes back every once in a while, and meeting someone usually involves meeting lots of people, which is something I avoid completely. So it's a tough predicament. I almost flipped out and went back to the room just going this Friday, so Justin offered to pretty much meet me at the dorm and walk there with me.


I haven't seen John in eight weeks now. I realize now that it would have been much, much easier on me if we had just maintained an online relationship and then met later, way later. But we met about a week after we first started talking online...and even though he's only 150 miles away as opposed to the thousands of miles between some people, it still sucks ass when you consider that, due to transportation issues, we can't exactly hop and skip over to see each other on weekends. As it is now, the time is starting to slowly eat away at me. He might be able to make it down this weekend, but I still don't know. The bear makes me feel a little better, but it just isn't the same. So for those of you who might have some kind of envy for me...don't.

New layout coming soon. I think this one is making me not want to update lol.

Spring Break couldn't even make it here fast enough to keep me from going nuts.

WOT'S THIS? AN ENTRY!??! BLIMEY. [26 Feb 2006|03:05pm]

Stolen from teh Duchess. )

Ya know, there really is no reason for me to keep this journal friends-only anymore. It's not like there's anything I have to keep hidden from anyone, besides the fact that I used to work for the CIA and now anyone can access the top secrets of the government just by asking me okay, kidding. Really. Don't come after me, either, because I don't know shit. Of course, even though this journal isn't going to be friends-only anymore doesn't mean that I'm going to sit here and change the security level of every single protected post I've made in here, because contrary to popular belief, I actually do have somewhat of a life.

So, Robert and I went to the Auto Expo yesterday. It just wasn't as impressive as it has been in past years. I dunno. The cars we liked were, strangely enough, not foreign cars...most of them were Chevrolet and Cadillac. Robert, having been drooling over SUVs for a while now, naturally liked the Chevrolet Tahoe and the Cadillac Escalade. I wasn't really all that turned onto the newer Impalas (I like the 2000-on models) but after seeing the Impala SS, my mind has changed. I also sat in the new Monte Carlo. (A lot of people were complaining about the head room, but I sat in it and it was just fine for me.) Even though there's no way in hell I'll be able to afford a Cadillac anytime soon, I had to sit in the DTS. It was black and shiny. It was also kind of scary, since it has this feature where it locks all the doors when you get in, and of course I didn't know this until the realization hit me. "It doesn't want me to get out!" I've got pictures, I'll have to upload them when I get back to the dorm though.

I almost went to Anime UC Friday night, but you know, I kind of freaked and changed my mind at the last minute. Once I realized that "Holy shit, I'm going to have to meet new people! Am I really going to be able to manage that?" I just totally chickened out. More than likely I'll go next week, though. I can't let the facts that both I'm a misanthrope and have had SAD in the past rule my life, it's just that trying to shake it on my own is extremely difficult.

There's that employment thing too. Robert keeps telling me that I should go to a headhunter service or something, but really, what company besides a grocery store or something is going to hire me? Sure, I have a resume, and I've been doing web design for a pretty long time, but I'm eighteen years old, I'm only a freshman in college, and the most extracurricular activities I have done that include interacting with other people have been Marching Band and Wind Ensemble. I'm not sure how well that will speak for me. And not many grocery stores even seem to be hiring at the moment. So, yeah. I could just wait to work until summer, but I need the money NOW.

Also, another issue has come up. I want to make friends here, I really do. But what is the point of trying to make new friends when I'll be leaving Cincinnati this summer? Though, I guess, there's always that "keep in touch" thing, but hell, who even does that anymore? So, I don't know. I'm tired of having nothing to do but sit in my room and watch my roommate and her friends waltz in and out all the fucking time, but at the same time I'm not sure if trying to get to know someone is even worth it.

I am so, so tired of writing papers. Someone please kill me.

If you are an icon maker, but don't have aneurysms over someone using your icons because you have a life, use this icon.
If you always ask to use a maker's icons but still find rabid icon makers hilarious, use this icon.
If you want to make fun of the intarweb in general, use this icon.



I think this is the best icon I've ever made.

friends only

  • More than likely I will add you; closed-minded people, preps, people who can't spell worth a shit, racists, religious fundamentalists, obvious trolls, and general morons need not apply.

  • If you're not going to actually read or even occasionally comment on my journal (I don't care if it's not every single entry or every single day), then don't add me. This is an indication of whether you're reading or not.
  • If you add me, comment and let me know. There's no guarantee I'm going to check my userinfo page every day.

  • lj-cutting long surveys and quiz results with huge images is a plus in my book. Occasionally I make layouts for which the width of the content layer is smaller than 500px, and extremely large images stretch out the layer.
