I came back into my room this evening and found Lotus, one of my rats, dead in her cage. There was nothing physically wrong with her and she was only a baby, so we're guessing that she just had a defective heart (she was a white rat, and there's good evidence that they're genetically weaker than the fancies). She looked like she had just keeled over very suddenly; there wasn't any sign of pain or struggling. Right now I'm sitting here with her cagemate, Xena, and she's like. Skitterish and shaking and just generally freaked out and traumatized. I feel bad for her, bawww.

Having pets that only live for a few years at most sucks, gaiz.

Use DailyBooth more often.

Take less pictures that look like this.

In other news, I finally picked up a fifth class, and when that's done, I'll never have to take another science Gen. Ed. again. SO. HAPPY. I really want to take an astronomy class, but all of the ones I've looked at have lab components and there's just no way. I JUST WANT TO TAKE A CLASS WHERE YOU JUST LEARN ABOUT STARS AND BLACK HOLES AND PLANETS AND SHIT, IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK? Ehhhhh.

Doug: "Speaking of forging things, Maddie, how would you like to make some money after school?"

The table tents at my school's dining halls are filled with typos and grammar mistakes. Today, I spotted the best one I've seen so far:

"Spitfire Grill is a compelling tale about a town struggling to survive, and the heroin that saves it."

UNH is promoting drug use, everybody!

Speaking of dining halls, I had these really good Asian noodles for dinner. They were good, at least, until I found an ant crawling around in them. Why does life do this to me.

OH OH OH.

THE ENDING OF SCRUBS WAS SO PERFECT. EVERYTHING FROM THE HALLWAY SCENE ONWARDS WAS SO SAD AND BITTERSWEET I CRIED (EXCEPT NOT REALLY, BUT YOU KNOW). NOW I WANT TO GO WATCH IT ALL OVER AGAIN AHHHHHHH.

THIS HAS BEEN AN ALL-CAPSLOCK ENTRY BROUGHT TO YOU BY HANNAH.

Blech.

... I am suddenly very much reminded why I stay far away from most political stuff ... watching The West Wing totally doesn't count. And why I registered as an Independent so that I could (hopefully) avoid the "OH YOU'RE A _____ SO YOU MUST THINK _____" stuff.

WTF, RP!S. Can't we all just get aloooooooong.

Kathy: "Mr. LaForce, where do you get your shirts and ties? Do they come together?"
Doug: "Yes, they come as ONE!"
Kathy: "But is it attached? How do you get it off?"
Mr. LaForce: "That's the last straw, Katherine. I am NOT going to take my shirt off in class!"


YOU KNOW YOU'RE EMILYYOUSAY WHEN...

Wheeeeeee.

Mr. LaForce: "When I ask you to count with me, I want you to actually count with me, not wait for me to finish and then start counting. Okay, let's try this again. Nine measures from letter 'E'."
Entire class: [starts off in the wrong place again]
Mr. LaForce: "COUNT. WITH. ME!"
Alec: "So that's... nine before 'E', right?"


I spent the entire afternoon and evening wearing my shirt inside out without realizing it. A++, self.

And Cinnaaaaa, I've actually remembered to start doing quotes for you again! SO MANY OF THEM ARE FROM BAND CLASS.

Fooling around in my dorm room, taking pictures with my laptop.

I have no idea what I started to do by the end there. )

IN OTHER NEWS, I AM PROCRASTINATING ON EVERYTHING EVER.

School's starting up again on... Monday, I think? I know I'm moving into the dorm on Sunday. And I STILL need to get textbooks because so far, none of my teachers have put any lists up on Blackboard. This happened last year too, and I had a hell of a time getting my Spanish book because the campus bookstore kept selling out.

I actually have a pretty easy semester-- the only thing I'm worried about is French, especially since not taking a French class in Spring '09 means I'm kind of rusty. Also, I'm not quite sure it's EVER a good idea for me to do anything that involves the word "advanced". Especially if it's part of the phrase "advanced conversation".

I am going to hole myself up in my room and marathon the fifth season of House (it just came out on DVD today; my sister's doing the same thing with Scrubs). This is definitely the best way to spend my last few days of summer break.

Also, I blame Setine for the fact that I've sort of developed a mini-girlcrush on Cuddy. :|

Rinse and repeat about once every five hours. I really need an air card from a better company than Verizon.

This is probably the most amazing thing I've read all day-- made even weirder by the fact that I know who all of these people are, because I've been stalking that board (in its various incarnations) since 2003/2004 (despite the fact that it was an 18+ forum and I was underage almost all of that time; if I had actually posted instead of just lurking I'm sure my true age would have been incredibly obvious, because when I was thirteen I acted like I was about nine).

Even though this was posted like two months ago, between this, that, and the other thing I still feel like today is The Day Of Internet Wank. Gah. Iiiiiit's probably too much to hope that DDD won't end up on RP!S yet again, isn't it.

Each time this site's email notifications start to fail for one reason or another, I am starkly reminded of how much I depend on them. I am often far too ADD to sit and go online for hours at a time; now that they're back, I can actually use LJ without sitting at my computer the entire time like a mindless refreshing drone (... there is a reason why I was pretty much only in one thread yesterday, DDD's HMD notwithstanding). It's AWESOME.

And on an unrelated note, next week I'm hoping to buy a cellphone with one of those little pull-out keyboards, because we have a family-wide texting plan now. So excited.

- My layout and a bunch of my icons are really ironic because half of it looks gross and I'd never eat it.
- I really, really want to download "Bright Eyes" by Art Garfunkel.
- iTunes needs to stop failing or I'll be driven to illegal downloading.
- Night trampolining is the best.
- I'm procrastinating on my intro for Paradisa because I have no idea what to write.

TRANSCRIBED WORD-FOR-WORD FOR MY SISTER:

Title: 1000K
Host: Specter Billy Mays
Premise: Contestants come up one by one to choose between two identical neon brown boxes (... I was told to write this word-for-word; don't blame the inanity on me). In one box is $1000K-- better known as $1,000,000. The other box is empty. Should contestants pick the box with the money in it, they win $1,000,000 tax-free. However, should they pick the empty box, they're required to sprint 1,000 kilometers, a task which they will probably not survive. If they jog, walk, or stop at any time during the 1,000-kilometer sprint, they will be electrocuted (which they will also probably not survive) via a handy unbreakable collar that was fastened around their neck before the show. Good luck, potential contestants!

You would definitely want to be on this show if it existed, don't lie.

Mr. Zottoli: "If you study, then you'll take the test like you studied. If you wing it, you'll take the test like you wung it."

Went to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince yesterday avec ma famille (we were going to go with Crystal, but she's in Maine). I thought it was pretty good (I've come not to expect too much from the movies), but I agree with what other people have said: if you haven't read the book, it wasn't going to make all that much sense. My mom said she thought it felt like it had no real plot, and that nothing really happened apart from Dumbledore dying.

Also, my favorite characters were Draco and Bellatrix (especially Bellatrix asdfsdjk). And Draco kind of reminded me of Azula from Avatar. What is wrong with my life.

Oh, and ETA: LAVENDER BROWN SCARED ME. Mostly because I have actually known girls IRL that acted like that around their boyfriends. Ughhhhhh.

Best part of my birthday: definitely going tubing with Jenny and Sonja while wearing a shirt and long skirt.

... I had left my bathing suit at home. :|

Mark: "People in the 1600s let their kids drink because they weren't worried about high-speed horse and buggy crashes."

Actually, I don't feel all that old. I definitely feel like "nineteen" is old, but I don't really feel old myself. ... Even though I do kind of feel nineteen. WHY DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO BE SO CONFUSING ABOUT THINGS.

We're going to the lake today, and actually spending the night (Jenny'll probably cop out, though) because there aren't any tenants this weekend, but otherwise I am just being SO. LAZY.

Leah: "Is it colder?"
Jay: "Than what?"
Mr. Zottoli: "She already asked the question. She can't change it. That counts as one of your twenty questions."
Jay: "Some team captain she makes!"


The Fandom Secrets Meme
Guess mine!


I don't actually read [livejournal.com profile] fandomsecrets (and I usually don't do these kinds of memes either, ha), but this looked hilarious. :(
