God damn, it has been a while.

And guess what got me writing here again...? PROCRASTINATION. It is exam week, and I have to finish putting together a giant mother fucking terror of a portfolio/binder/thing for fashion class, and I don't want to do it. Surprise!

Reread Sunshine. Is it sad that in my dreams I get to produce/shoot/script/etc Sunshine and turn into a two-part movie of EPIC and WIN? Because I feel like if any big studio got ahold of it would probably go straight to hell, and I'm pretencious enough to think I could do it right, thank you very much. Oooooh, and everything cold be color edited in dark staturated greens and blues and blacks for the vampire scenes, and Sunshine and Yolade's house would be filled with not only windows but abient light to make it brighter, and I could turn the white up... I want to do it SO BAD. <3

But um. This semester was rough, but was also pretty sweet. French was hell put in a basket that tried, desperately, to escape and eat my brains with it's Cuthulu-esc tenticles. BUT. It's over now! Idk how I'm going to pass three more semesters of a foreign lang, but that's beside the point! 8D

There are a lot of kids on campus I don't see anymore, and it makes me really, really sad. It doesn't help that the reason is that they moved to a different school (*coughEMILYcough*). Ah, well.

( Don't Look, I'm Goin' All Gushie and Reminicent and Shit. )

Taken all of my exams but fashion history. Wee.

I AM ALSO GOING TO PARIS IN A WEEK. OMFG PARRRIIISSSS. AND THEN LONDON. I <3 CHRISTMAS.

I intend to take a ridiculous number of pictures. And am considering buying another camera, because I am crazy. I dunno, though - both are rather expensive, and I have no source of income atm. Either way. I am SO PSYCHED. Yesyes. I may even post pictures on here, if I remember to!

1) I am! I'm back! It's exciting!

2) I'm in a dorm at the bottom of the worst hill ever (not really, but at the end of the day it can occasionally be a bitch - but hey, leg muscles!), but the room is lovely and my roomie and suitemates are brilliant, so all is well. I lucked out.

3) My classes, so far, look to be mostly good, but some are going to be seriously intense (*cough*fashionhistory*cough*). I am going to be running around like a headless chicken for most of this semester.

4) However, I am in love with most of my professors so far, or at the very least am endlessly amused by how quirky they are. I have one professor, for example, who lectures to the door as opposed to the class. I also have another who sounds as if he is trying to imitate John Rhys-Davies, but is only partially succeding. Besides talking in a very silly, booming sort of voice, he will, apparently at random, over-emphasize words, drawing them out so that it takes twice as long to say them as it should. He also never showed up to teach class the first day, but that is neither here nor there. XD

5) Clubs also are starting/have started. Yay! <3

6) Before school started, I didn't get to hang out with everyone I had intended too. I send my deepest apologies to those whom I might have, completely unintentinally, slighted. ( biosage_x , I am so sorry. I was a complete ass-hat. >.< )

7) I am curently re-reading Snowcrash, and trying to get as excited about it as when I first read it. It's not really working.

8) I love having short hair, but it can suck in the sticky summr heat.

But no I run away to go do homework - loves to you all!

I think I am in love. Or vaguely horrified. But mostly just in love. I think it's the excessive pockets that really do it for me.

(10:22:19 PM) modernselkie: I say tampons should not be dry fucking wads of cotton.

(10:24:55 PM) modernselkie: Liike... is it sad that the first thing that came to mind when I said sleek was google/
(10:24:56 PM) modernselkie: ?
(10:25:04 PM) modernselkie: Or, you know
(10:25:05 PM) Joanna: no
(10:25:07 PM) Joanna: it's retarded
(10:25:11 PM) modernselkie: a tampon made by apple.
(10:26:14 PM) Joanna: omg write a letttterrr
(10:26:21 PM) modernselkie: XD
(10:26:26 PM) modernselkie: BEST LETTER EVER.

I should be working on one of the multitude of papers I have due in the next three weeks. I really should. But I just got violently ill, AGAIN, for, like, the third time in as many days, and so think maybe a break would be in order. (What the fuck, stomach, I'm not a senior in high school anymore. Stop giving me this shit again.) I am, haha, sick of being sick. I can't afford to miss class at this point, damn it all. >_>;

I feel happy right now, happier than I've been in a while. I have a test in, like, ten minutes, but hopefully it'll go well. When I get out I plan to chill by myself for a bit, and revel in the happy.This will probably result in naps. I am so tired.

I think this is a bitchin' plan.

PS: Finding out what people think about you is weird.

Guess what, guys. Working up the nerve to talk about them is difficult shit, but it is worth it.

(Generally.)

PS: Why am I not sleepy? o_O

Guess what guys; there is SNOW. To be precise, there is four inches of snow! By my standard, that is a lot of snow. (My standard: any snow is a lot of snow.) I like snow. Love snow. Missed snow. Am happy there is snow. Omg snoooow. <3

Um. Lets see. It's spring break, which makes the snow rather ironic. But I'm not complaining. Though it means my mother is pulling her whole, "YOU'RE STILL MAH BABEH GIRRRLLL"  and not letting me drive anywhere when there is snow so much as even mentioned in the forecast. I love home, but there are things about it I don't miss. Regardless! It is beautiful outside, and I do love being home. Cats, for one thing. I missed my fuzzies. <3 Food, and movie nights with actual TVs! Conversations and catching up with parental units! Seeing friends from home! Making bad jokes with Papa! Cooking things! HAVING A KITCHEN THAT HAS THINGS IN IT. It's fun times.

So far break has been pretty chill. Again, hanging out with old HS friends - Samie had her woodbridge birthday party, and we partied into the early hours, and shot off fireworks in the snow. Or, well, tried. Then TJ's house, where he has TWO ADORABLE AND TINY KITTENS. Then shopping, and hanging out with Damian, and midnight walks in the snow. Movie watching too. And Elaine hangings out (papa came home and was like, "ELAINE WAS HERE." Me: "How can you tell?" Papa: "Your hair is in braids. When else is it in braids?") and Tom is theoretically coming over tonight. SOCIAL LIFE, YOU ARE SORT OF HAPPENING.

Other than that, I've been sleeping and making lots of tea.

And, um. That's my life, I guess. Cheers!

I'm never going to understand people. This is ok, I guess. I don't really mind. But people do things that make no sense to me, people I've known for ages, as well as people I've only just met. Sometimes I feel like the people I am only acquainted with are more easily understood than my friends. This is probably only because I don't know them well enough to see their quirks, though. XD

So! Goals for this week - beginning to figure out my beliefs. My old beliefs aren't necessarily working for me, and it's time to open my mind a bit. I want to figure out how things work in my head, and what will make me happy. Funny how that can be really difficult sometimes, huh? I did a few rounds of ETF a la gala to make myself cheer up. I'd forgotten how very silly, but in the end, happy, tapping makes me. Yay stress relief!

What's up with you?
