Can't believe I haven't written in this thing for so long...stuff has been more or less busy - more 'in my brain' busy and less 'in my body' busy, if that makes any sense.  I've got two exciting jobs (which I'm extremely grateful for).  One is at this little place downtown called Toast, which pays $10/hour, not including tips, to do a fairly simple waitressing job.  The shifts are really short: 3 hours max, so my feet don't have a chance to hurt too badly. 

The second job is only on Wednesdays, but it's a >10 hour job.  That one is at Sci Fi Genre.  It's a much harder job than Toast, and pays much less, but strangely enough, it's really rewarding.  I get to bag and board comics from 7:45 am to around 11:30, (paid 4.5 cents per comic) then I get to fill orders and package them to be sent out to people until about 6:00.  Very fun.  Mostly fun because of the people, and because I get to be surrounded by comics all day.  *sighs*  Unfortunately, by the time the day is over and everything has been sent out, all the new comics have been sold.  I was super excited last week, cuz the new Captain America: Reborn had just come out, along with Unwritten and Irredeemable, but by the time the day was over, they were gone :'(  Very sad.

Just got my RA email being all "Come on the 6th, and be prepared to work 24/7 on how to deal with people."  Fantastic.  Don't get me wrong, I love dealing with people, but I'm kinda nervous.  Can't figure out what I'm nervous about - maybe just pre-school jitters.  They'll go away.

Dudley's finally back, after almost 2 months of gone-ness.  We've been hanging out a lot, which is really nice.  Things aren't at all awkward, like I thought they might be after not seeing eachother for so long. 

I've been reading tons of books and comics, and drawing a lot.  A normal summer, I guess.  Got my license, which was a bit bleh.  Driving is nice and all, but...I dunno.  It feels like I got my license for the wrong reasons: I got it because other people wanted me to (not my family though, they didn't really care), instead of getting it because I actually needed/wanted it.  It's not like I'm gonna drive in college, anyway.

End of entry.

Oh my god, I am SO EXCITED!

Watanuki is totally awesome looking. 

This week was short, but really draining.  We've got three concerts this weekend: one tomorrow night at App. state, one on Saturday night, and one sometime on Sunday.  And I've got Vagina Monologues practice on Saturday afternoon, and exam essays and whatnot due next week.  Yeesh.  But it'll be winter break soon, which is good.  And then it will be next semester, and fun classes, and new acappella music!  Yaaaay!  This year has gone by really fast...but really slowly, too.  Funny how that works.

Mom and dad are so sweet...they sent me an exam care package thing that has yummy foods in it.  The school sells the care packages, I guess.  I love my parents <3  In the package was a long-sleeved teeshirt that says this on the back:

EXAM WEEK DAILY AFFIRMATION:

"I believe in me...I believe I can study hard, persevere and earn good grades -- all A's...I believe my teachers will believe in me and tell me I should take my final exams only if I want to...I believe my parents will be delighted with my grades and will want to reward me - probably with a new car...I believe the university will be proud to have me attending and will not charge me...I believe in me."

Then bordering the affirmation is this, in teeny, almost illegible type:

"You are somebody.  You will go far.  You will go far and then want to come back here.  You are one in a million.  You are worth a million.  Can I borrow a million?  You are special.  People like you.  People like you resort to desparate measures."  I like my shirt.

*drools*

I can't help it.  Honestly.  Axel/Roxas is one of my more embarrassing OTPs, next to...harry/draco.  Sue me.  I've read enough ff for KH that I feel like I've played the game a billion times, but this game looks really cute.  This is old news, and it probably won't come out for a million years, (like Kenji) but I'm still moderately excited about it.

Kay, nap time.

It's nice to see the family again.  Everyone's the same, really: Mom's still teaching yoga, dad's still a whiny gimp (I mean this in a loving, daughterly way), and Lewis is still really quiet, but it's great to be back.

Dudley is at the beach, Wes is in Asheville, Rob is...I dunno, camping out on the Blueridge Parkway, no doubt, and Caitlin and Kaleigh are in Fuquay, so it's just me, doing the Durham thing. 

OOOOOH, FINALLY!  I picked up my subscriptions at Ultimate Comics. YAAAY!  So nice to have time to sit and read without having to worry about class and stuff.  And, luckily for you, I have time to review what I've read.

X-Men: Manifest Destiny

Issues 1-3 out of 5

A series of short stories on how the X-men are doing in San Francisco.  Nothing to do with Secret Invasion or Ghost Boxes, just some updates on how the different characters are adapting to the new Institute.  Each issue has three stories, and each is written and illustrated/inked by different writers/artists.  Really cool.

Finally explained who Greymalkin is - a hundred or so years ago, his father caught him with another boy in their barn, and beat him almost to death.  Then, he buried him alive.  Great, thanks dad.  His mutant powers activated, and Grimalkin managed to live for a few decades before being 'excavated'.  Talk about a shitty coming-out story.  And of course, he's telling all this to Anole, the other token gay X-man.  Still, gay content.  Always good.  And it was written by a male writer, too!  Yay!

A little Emma Frost: "But I'm a bad guy, why does Cyclops love me, I feel so isolated from everybody else, blahblahblah."  It was actually really sad and good, I like her a lot more than I did initially, that's for sure.  Anyone but Jean Grey, really.

Colossus is still torn up about Kitty.  Well, so am I.  Joss Whedon, you bastard.  If I didn't love Buffy and Firefly and Runaways, I'd hunt you down and smack you in the face.  Repeatedly.  Oh, and thanks for dropping the Wonder Woman project, you jerk.  Raaarr.  There's a gay parade/party thing in this story though, which is good.  Hooray for San Francisco!

Other issues I got that there's no way I'm reviewing, because no one would really care (in fact, if you've made it this far, I'm impressed): 

Wonder Woman #26, Astonishing X-Men #27, Astonishing X-Men Ghost Boxes #1, Uncanny X-Men #503 and #504, Secret Invasion X-Men #3 and #4, Secret Invasion #7, Young X-Men #7 and #8, House of Mystery #4, Wonder Woman: Rise of the Olympian #26, Invincible #54 and #55, Echo #7, NYX No Way Home #3, Hellboy: The Crooked Man #3, Hellboy: In the Chapel of Moloch #1, Runaways #3 and #4, The Dresden Files: Storm Front #1.

Hey, it's not a very expensive hobby.  At least I don't collect like...swords or something.

Ugh.  I just had the NASTIEST macaroni and cheese ever.  Yuck.  The milk in our fridge is a day from expiring, so I couldn't drink that, and the butter I added tastes friggin nasty.  I hope I'm not going to get sick, cuz that would suck.

So.  Twilight.  Have any of you seen it yet?  I'm not gonna lie, it looks dumb.  I read the first two (three?) books, and it was like reading bad fanfiction.  I dunno, it's cool if other people liked them, but I didn't.  They were kinda corny-porny, ya know? To be honest, the only reason I'm going to go see it is because of Kristen Stewart.  And even then, I'm waiting until it comes out on video.

It's almost break - hooray!  I am sooooo psyched about Thanksgiving <3

I'm an emotional train wreck right now.  It feels like my mind is at war with itself - I keep trying to be like "Cut it out, this is counterproductive..." but it doesn't listen.  Silly mind.  I think I need to start going to bed earlier, and doing less late-night fun friend things.  Cuz I can't really have fun with my friends if I'm tired, stressed and cranky.  Maybe then the epic battle in my brain will cool down a bit.

In other news: there is no running water on campus today.  Good thing I took a shower at 7:00 this morning...it should be back on at 3 something. 

There is a kid standing shirtless on the deck outside of the third floor of Highsmith.  He's having a spiritual experience, I think.

Wow.  I got into all the classes I wanted to. 

Woke up at 6:30, plugged in all the numbers at 7:00:27, and go into Humanities, Spanish, Tibetan Buddhism and Existentialism.  I didn't think I'd get into Meditation or Ancient Sexuality, seeing as how both were already filled a while ago, but I'll just show up to those and see what happens.

The roommate is still trying to register for classes on a different computer.  When the computer wouldn't load for her, she got...pissed.  Scared me a bit.  She's gone now, to the computer lab, and I'm not looking forward to her coming back.  I got the class she wanted, see. 

Lost my cellphone a few days ago.  It's like I'm crippled.  It was a shitty cellphone, but it worked.  And now I don't have a cellphone at all.  Oh dear.  I understand how some people can live without them, but I've gotten used to being able to do little stuff, like text Kaleigh in the middle of Spanish class being like "For the love of god, can we watch Buffy when I get back to the dorm?" or calling Dudley to meet me after AGS practice and walk me to class, or calling mom and dad when I miss home.  I'm a cellphone junkie, I guess.

Ugh.  I do NOT want to go to math.  It's 30 degrees outside, and cloudy.  Mrrrow.

Wednesday: Tibetan Buddhism 9:00 AM – 10:15 AM, Meditation 4:10 PM – 5:00 PM, Modeling from 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM? Art and the Apocalypse 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM?

Thursday: The Ancient World 11:00 AM – 12:10 PM, All Girl Staff Practice 12:30 – 1:30, Ancient Sexuality 1:45 PM – 3:00 PM, Existentialism 3:10 PM – 4:25 PM, Spanish 310: Composition and Intro to Lit 4:35 PM – 5:50 PM.

Friday: Nothing!  Woohoo!


Uhoh.  That's 20 hours, dear.  17 hours, without Art and the Apocalypse.  But come on, meditation is a class?  Dude, how can I NOT take that class?  And Existentialism?  AWESOME.  Not to mention Ancient Sexuality - it's already full, but I'll get in somehow.  I have to take the Spanish 310, sadly, with Spanish being my wanna-be major and all.  Tibetan Buddhism and Existentialism work towards my Religious Studies minor, as well as my cluster, which is nice.  I guess I could always take Spanish 310 over the summer, or next Fall or something...I hate composition.  But without the Spanish credits, I'd only have 14 hours - what a tragedy.

Hm.  I should be sleeping, not doing this.

Oooh, listen to me and Kaleigh's radio show tonight at 9:00 PM!  You can listen to it here.  It's gonna be awesome :) The theme is Music You Probably Won't Be Able to Understand - ie: music in other languages.  It's good music, too.  You can always request stuff, but we've got a pretty good lineup already.

Nothing super exciting to report.  I have a bunch of letters and packages I need to send.  Got a buncha stuff a while ago for my bro's birthday, but his birthday was on the 31st.  Do'h.  When I send it, he'll be all: "Man, my sister's a loser.  These presents remind me that she missed my birthday.  Lame." 

Sigh.  This always manages to happen, somehow.  I miss a deadline, or lose touch with a friend, and then I'm afraid to own up and say: "Yeah, I missed the deadline." or "Yeah, we haven't hung out for a while, and it's my fault."  Of course, this makes things worse - more delayed and/or out of touch - and the cycle continues.

I am totally exhausted right now.

Just got out of the first practice for the Vagina Monologues, and it turns out I have a ton more lines than I thought I was going to have.  Hoo boy.  When they told me I was an MC, I was like "Cool, not too many lines, I can chill with all the awesome actresses, and I'll be able to see the play for free!"  Hahah...yeah, no.  I've got lots of lines.  But they're good lines, so I'm glad.  It's really fun to be able to be in a play with so many talented actresses.  I still can't believe that I made it in - the Vagina Monologues is like, my favorite play ever, and now I can actually be IN it.  Crazy, huh?

Me and Dudley have been together for 4 weeks.  Feels like a million years - more evidence to support my theory that time at UNCA is a heckuva lot slower than time in Durham. 

Why Dudley is Awesome Reason #46/ongoing:  He LOVES the Young Avengers.  This makes me incredibly happy.  I gave him all the issues I had (ie: all the issues there are) and he read them in like, two days.  Yay!  I'mna force-feed him Astonishing X-Men next, and then maybe Runaways, if he's good.

The smell of rice cooking is amazing.

Me and Caitlin and Kaleigh stayed up until like, 2:00 am watching Buffy.  It was fun, but now I feel super sleeeeeepy.  Dustin and Wes and Dudley and Rob are on a male bonding road trip, so things are kinda quiet around here.

I think I might take a nap.

Oh dear.  So, yesterday...I fell on my head.  I was doing handstands, and...yeah, fell on my head, basically.  D'oh.  Luckily, it was on the grass, not like, the pavement or anything.

After a few hours of brain-splitting headache, I decided it would probably be a wise decision to go to the Health and Wellness center.  That was exciting.  They tested me for stuff, and said that I'd probably had some kind of concussion, and that all I can do now is try not to bonk my head any more and take lotsa painkillers. 

Waaaah, my head huuuuurts...

His name is Dudley Bruce Merrifield III.  Like, the third. 

I'm dating a third.

Oh dear.

In other news: it's naptime right about now, so I'll be quick.  Classes are okay, a cappella is awesome, radio show is awesome (every Friday at 9:00, btw.  Here's the website, if you're interested.  It's a live feed: www.theblueecho.com), friends are awesome, books are awesome, working out is awesome, candy is delicious.

Mom sent me a care package with candy and stickers and markers and drawing paper :D I love stickers soooo much, and candy is delicious.  She got me a little pumpkin that lights up, too.  Yay!  I love care packages, and I love my mom.

There has been a ton of drama, but...I don't really care about that anymore, to be honest.  I just care about Dudley and a cappella and my friends and the radio show and school.  OOOOOH, and there's gonna be a horror movie marathon in a week!!  I'm waaay too excited about this.  *dances* 

I'm not sure why I like horror movies.  I think it's because they scare the crap out of me, and I have this funny, ingrained mentality that if something scares me, I should do it.  I mean that in a healthy way, not a dangerous one.  Just like, I should get out there and do stuff.  Like audition for solos, and ask questions in class that I think are probably dumb, and tell people how I feel about them, and jump off high cliffs into freezing cold water totally naked (not that I've done that or anything...), and confront people when there's a problem, and get my blood drawn, and volunteer to be hypnotised in front of 100-some people (that was scary as SHIT - it wasn't just me though, it was a group of people, which helped) and travel to other countries by myself to visit people who don't even speak my language, and take self-defense classes, even if they were scary and violent.  It's nothing extraordinary, other people do this too, but I think it explains a lot about how I think.

Also, good horror movies are awesome.

-  The weather is really beautiful here.  It's 50 degrees outside right now, but it's supposed to get a bit warmer...

-  All Girl Staff is SO MUCH FUN!  We're going to be singing Mr. Sandman at the UNCA chorus concert on Sunday, which'll be exciting - not many people can show, but it'll still sound good.  I'm really not used to chorus girls actually being nice, ya know?  Never had any friends in HS chorus (except for Danielle <3), but now I feel that I'm friends with everyone, and that there's no one in that group I don't like and that doesn't like me back.  Go figure.

Slept over at Kaleigh's dorm last night.  It was fun - made me feel like a little kid.  I was a bit lonely up in my room, I guess, and sleeping over with her helped.  Caitlin (her roomie) is in Mississippi right now, seeing (or not seeing) the debate-that-probably-isn't.  Man, I've given up trying to comprehend that whole thing.  Poor Mississippi.

Anyway.  School is good.  I'm going home in a few hours to see a friend who's moving to Germany on Wednesday.  That'll be fun.  Plus, I'll get to see Lewis again, which'll be nice.  He's so old now...17 in less than a month.  is that not ridiculous?  Well, it is to me. 

My grandma's cancer came back, and I'm scared.  I trust that she'll be okay - she's one of the strongest people I know - but still, she has to go through chemo again, and needless to say, that's not a party.  She's had such an amazing life, and I feel like I've only just started to get to know her better as a person, not only as a grandmother, ya know?  I want to visit her, and spend time with her.

Somebody tell me that I shouldn't be so unhappy right now.

On another, more positive note:

I'm pretty sure I know one or two (or four or five) people on my f-list who will appreciate this.

Typed this up in Sociology yesterday.  I take notes on my computer in that class, cuz it's mostly Powerpoints and discussions.

How Society Shapes Sexuality
- Sex and Marriage
o Premarital sex, Extramarital sex

Augh, I feel ill...am in sociology class right now, and we were just having a big discussion about some really intense issues.  These two girls were talking to each other the entire time, except when they were giving their own opinions.  They talk in class pretty much every day, but no one had ever said anything.  The one girl is a real bitch, especially to me (for whatever reason).  People have actually come up to me and been like "Dude, don't take it personally, she's a bitch."  Okay, only three people have said that.  But still. 

Anyway, just now, I kinda broke.  It was beyond rude, and people were obvious irritated at them.  So, I raised my hand, and told them so.  I said, “I know this sounds petty and childish, and I really like you guys, but we’re all adults here, and I think that it’s really rude and disrespectful for you to be talking while other people are sharing their opinions.  This is a college classroom, and I think we all need to act appropriately.” By the end of that quiet, kinda trembling little speech, I was shaking all over.  I honestly thought I was going to puke, and was mapping strategies in my mind on how I would manage to make it to the bathroom on time.  But then people were nodding, and the talkers looked appropriately chastised.  I still feel terrible, though, especially because they're still talking.

- Sex and Kinship
o Incest Taboo and why?
- Sexual Partners
o Sex, race, age, class, religion, education, region

The teacher just called them out, and basically reiterated what I said.  I'm feeling a little less nauseous now.


End of notes.

These are the things I hate most in the world (in order of hate).

#1.  Lying and infidelity
#2.  People ignoring me.
#3.  Being helpless
#4.  People making fun of me.
#5.  People doing distracting things (like talking) when I'm trying to focus. 

These have held true for as long as I can remember.  I've learned that the majority of my panic attacks have been triggered by one or more of these five things, which, while distressing, is a good thing to know.  It means I know when to get up and go somewhere safe, and stay there until I feel better.

But yeah.  By far the scariest moment of my college career to date.

Took water aerobics again this morning.  It feels nice to be able to get back in the pool, even if that means waking up at 6:00.  I miss swim team obscenely much...It'd be nice if UNCA had a team.

A present for yoooo:

OHEMGEE.  Lots of things have happened this weekend, but I'm not gonna wax on about them in this post (I know, thank goodness, right?)  - just wanted to say: me, mom and dad* went to the mall to go clothes shopping (hooray!) and I found this AMAZING Wonder Woman costume.  Like, amazing.  So, I got it.  Hooray!  I wore it for an hour or so in the mall and got some odd looks, but I think everyone was just blown away because of how hot I was.

Heh.

Hum hum hum.  Nothing too crazy happening here.  This dance team came to UNCA and did a breakdancing show last night, which was really cool.  They explained the origins of hip-hop, something I had never wondered about before.  It was actually pretty interesting.

And now for some bullets!

-  If I hear Sarah Palin say 'Guys and gals' one more time, I'm gonna point at a bitch.

End bullets.
Ooh, hey!  Some books you should read that I've read/am reading lately:

1.  Havemercy

I was a little skeptical when I first read online about this book because it looked kinda kiddish, but it ended up being a really good (if short) read.  (Well, if you consider 350 pages short.  The font is big, is what I'm sayin, and there's a lot of action).  Anyway, it's about big metal dragons.  And there's a war.  And wizards, kinda.  And there are love interests (nothing graphic, just m/m adorable) and hate interests and fighting and angsting and diseases and METAL DRAGONS.  I mean, come on.  Metal dragons. 

Read this book.

2.  The Dresden Chronicles

Heh.  I like these a lot.  Only on book three right now, but I've totally fallen in love with the main character: his name is Harry Dresden, and he's a wizard.  A really good wizard.  Only unlike normal wizards, he isn't immortal, not in the least.  In fact, he gets beat up painfully often.  He also has a giant cat named Mister.  He works for the police sometimes, and solves magical-related crimes.  I know, I feel like I've reverted to my childhood...reading books about wizards and dragons and werewolves (there are those too), but come ooooon.  They're fun!!  Make me miss the days of Tamora Pierce and Diana Wynn Jones (although I'm honestly starting to think those days will never be over for me).  Well, Harry Dresden is kinda like a wizard Indiana Jones, except Indiana Jones was something of an asshole.  Dresden is only a little bit of an asshole. 

3.  Darkly Dreaming Dexter

So a few months ago I watched the first two seasons of Dexter, and loved them to pieces.  The books are a bit different, which I like - again, short, but yummy.  The only obnoxious thing is, they use the TV show covers.  RARGH.  I can't stand when books do that.  Funnily enough, the books aren't as gory as the show.  I guess this is a good thing...?  (Is a sucker for gore and morbidity)

4.  Nightwatch

Yessss!!  I am very, very excited about this book.  The plot is so much more intricate than in the movies (though I never really thought it wouldn't be) and I'm liking book Anton a heckuva lot more than I did movie Anton.  Only ~80 pages into it so far (it's pretty long), so I can't say more about how different it is from the movie, but from what one of my friends told me a while back, it definitely goes in a completely different direction.  I'm definitely gonna try and read all of them before Twilightwatch comes out - it shouldn't be that hard, given how fun to read Nightwatch is.  Oh, here's a big difference from the movie to the book: in the movie, the Dark and the Light refer to that in-between-state of reality as the Gloom.  In the books, it's more appropriately called the Twilight.  Makes more sense to me.

Oof.  Thanks for letting me do that.

Bweheheh.  I know what I'mna be for Halloween...

The fire alarm went off at 12:00 am in West/South Ridge, cuz someone had used a super strong air freshener, of all things.  We were outside for  like, 1 1/2 hours.  It was awful.  But in the meantime, I got to talking to some folks, and decided on my Halloween costume <3

Ms. MarvelThe more badass picture.


Too cool.
