The pressure is increasing in my skull every day.
I feel like I'm going to burst soon, and fill the air with my anxiety and pent up frustration.

Can everything be okay now? Please?

I love my body because it brings all the boys to the yard.
Damn right, it's better than yours.

Or, it could be because I have nice boobs. Let's go with that.

Yes, I do believe that.
Just 'cause we haven't found a scientific explanation yet, doesn't mean that one doesn't exist.
That also doesn't mean that the world is barren/cold/soulless, etc.
I find science and nature beautiful. Understanding something doesn't make it any less beautiful.

I don't remember which number book this was, but I remember these bullet points: 

• Jesus comes and fucks up Voldemort wicked bad
• Snape confesses his love for Harry and has disturbing, masochistic, angry, pedophile sex with him
• Hermione becomes a stripper because she can no longer afford tuition
• Ron converts to Scientology 
• Malfoy produces his own line of hair products for greasy-skinned boys

Oh btw: SPOILER ALERT
Pontius Pilate kills Dumbledore

I can eat my own face.

Lol. Lady detectives are good for nothing more than solving mysteries like "Who spilled grape juice on the rug?" or "The case of the missing iron".

My favorite things about France are:
-the guillotine
-syphilis

OBVIOUSLY.

• Obvious recommendation is obvious: The Beatles. Everyone who isn't Helen Keller knows about them and has heard something by them. My favorite album is Let It Be, although they're ALL amazing. You can't go wrong here. (Similar bands: Rolling Stones, Simon and Garfunkel)
• Eels. Not many people recognize the name of this band, but chances are you've heard them before. Or rather, "him". Eels only has one constant band member, Mark Oliver Everett, usually called "E". E writes the songs and is usually the main vocal. He has an amazing range, and his lyrics are always powerful and heartfelt. And his voice is kind of gravelly and badass. BONUS- they just came out with a new album!  www.youtube.com/watch (similar bands: Bob Dylan, The Beatles)
• They Might Be Giants. They have been reliably pushing out awesome songs since the early 80s, including a wide variety of quirky songs for their usual audience and a growing collection of children's songs that are entertaining no matter how old you may be. Their subject matter ranges from the mundane to the downright weird (for example, Piece of Dirt and Purple Toupee). www.youtube.com/watch (similar bands: Scissor Sisters, Weezer, Adam Ant)
• Guster. This band pairs gorgeous folk guitar lines with some of the most creative (often bongo-centric) rhythms I've ever heard. Their lyrics are always intricate and beautiful, as well. www.youtube.com/watch (similar bands: Iron and Wine, Harry Chapin, Barenaked Ladies)
• Rufus Wainwright. His lyrics are sometimes hilarious, sometimes incredibly sentimental, but are never dull. His voice is angelic, and his skill on piano is unmatched. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmbQEQltOwM (Similar bands: Ingrid Michaelson, Sara Bareilles)

There are so many, but... yeah.

 

Absolutely NOTHING. ;D
OH BABY

Hi guys,
I was searching the memories, and I haven't found anything about this, but to be fair I'm not quite sure what heading this would be under... (Grains, I guess?)
Does anyone have any recipes for quinoa? I've heard of putting it with fruit, but I'm curious to hear some new ideas. :)
Thanks in advance! I'll let you all know how it works out.

For some reason, Roger Rabbit disturbed me when I was a child. Like, to the point where seeing the movie made me cry and scream. I 'unno.

 I watched Hairspray again and it just made me miss you more, Billeh Sue. D: <3

Also, I made a pot of amazing coconut shrimp ramen. That was pretty awesome. But otherwise, it was an uneventful day. 
6 days. :)

 Ahh, today has been kind of awesome, and I'm only an hour and a half into it. :)

First off, 'cause today is the second day of freshman orientation, my advisor had freshmen to counsel, so I got a "day off" from research. I'm not totally off the hook, I still had reading assigned to me. But, I already did it, and him cancelling the meeting gave me the chance to sleep until 11 AM today. 
Now, I've been spending my time drinking coffee, listening to Eisley, and generally bumming around. It's kinda awesome.

All the same, I miss being able to visit my friends at a moment's notice (BILLEH and Jackie :) ), and I miss my family and my animals, and (even though he's only 45 mins away and I see him every weekend) Morgan. GAH. 

I've been frustratingly shy again since I've been here, it's kind of sad. When I was back in my spring assignment, I was all alone and I really wanted to be near people. Yet now that I'm in my summer housing and there are people all around, I can't even bring myself to talk to my roommate. Who seems perfectly sweet, by the way. An adorable and eerily intelligent "Christian school girl " type, really. I'm sure we'd get along great if I could fucking SPEAK. But I have more chances to socialize coming up, tonight is an "ice cream social" in the lounge. I'm going, if only to get sweet yumminess in my tumminess. Lols. 

As for the research though, things are going pretty awesomely. It took awhile, but I finally feel confident in what I'm doing, and it's pretty damn interesting, really. It's essentially playing atomic billiards. The experiment is approaching fast, I'm going to Michigan... a week from today? Maybe a little sooner? I don't remember whether we leave the 9th or the 10th. Hah. 

That's about it I guess.

Why the fuck does my mind refuse to wake up?

Anyway. Today promises to be great, I can look forward to going to the Hibachi place for dinner. Yummmm. It's a very late birthday present for my mom.

I've been reading the book I got at Border's yesterday. I haven't really sat down and read anything that wasn't a textbook in quite a while, and it made me sad. I'm so glad to be reading for pleasure again.

Things are going good around the RI home base, although truth be told I'm getting a little anxious and bored. But, that happens whenever I don't have any classes. I don't know. I don't particularly enjoy stress, but my life is dull without a little bit of it bouncing around in the back of my skull. LOL anxiety tumor. But, I of course miss my boy the most. 

I just can't wait to see where this next semester will take me. I've actually made New Year's resolutions (not really consciously, but it occurred to me later that they might as well be referred to as "resolutions", and they occurred to me around Jan. 1st XD). I'm trying to focus on ALL my classes simultaneously. I can't say I was a "slacker" last semester, I kicked the ass of my hardest class up and down Pfahler hall, but I did worst in what should have been my easiest class because I found the class so damn dull (and, well, I apparently suck at building circuits :P). So, I hope that I'll be able to maintain focus even if the lectures are a  bit dry. I don't think that'll be as much of an issue this semester, but who knows.  I also resolve that I'll be better with my money. I'm kind of proud of myself 'cause I deposited my check as soon as I found my license, and it's been a few days and I haven't touched it. I intend to keep that money there as long as I can. I SHALL STOP HEMORRHAGING MAH MONEYS. See, putting this in caps makes me sound more COMMITTED. XD

Yeah, I think I'm done.

LOL people, it's just life. It's not that hard. :O

PULL SOME LEVERS, PUSH SOME BUTTONS, TWIST SOME KNOBS

Eh, I just applied for a job at Wawa for when the second semester starts. Of course, when filling out availability I realized that I'm not really available. But, I definitely need some money.
Orz. D:

Here's hoping that I'm not biting off more than I can chew. That, and I'm kind of nervous about working a cash register again. I've gotten screwed by criminals before. And, I'm REALLY hoping that this is less soul-sucking than Wismer and Walmart were. Then again, maybe my soul is too easily sucked.

WAY TOO NERVOUS ABOUT SOMETHING SO INCONSEQUENTIAL.

Well, see, what many people don't realize is that paying for bottled water is, for most, a huge expense. Therefore, I propose we all recycle at the most fundamental level.

Yes, dear readers, I suggest we use reverse osmosis to filter and drink our own urine.
lol.

OH HAI.

I just had an oral exam today for quantum mechanics, and I took the written part a few hours before. I already know how I did with the written (84, although he's adding 3 points- 87) and I aced the oral exam (LOL I gives  good oral).
That's great, except I wasn't thinking and in my nervousness I drank assloads of coffee. Like, more than usual. I had 6 cups of regular coffee and 2 cups of latte. AGGGHHH FUCK. I am so jittery now that it's difficult to type and I can't even sit still. I think my brain just might explode. DAMN MY NEUROSES AND UNHEALTHY COFFEE HABITSSSSSSSS.

But, at least now the worst of finals week is over. Tomorrow I have 2 exams (kinda sorta), but one of those "exams" is turning in an essay I wrote last night and watching a presentation that'll probably last 30 mins at the most, and I have my Differential exam, a little less than half of which I do at home. Also, for Differential, I get to use my book and my notes. HURRAH. Of course, I tried to work on the take home part of the exam, but.... I SERIOUSLY CAN'T SIT STILL ENOUGH TO PHYSICALLY WRITE. This is... disturbing. Maybe I should do more decaf. XD

Also- motherfuckers at Jazzman's ran out of anything that I wanna buy with my excess meals. Fuckers. I love coffee, but if I spend the rest of my 10 odd spare meals on coffee, I just might fucking die of a caffeine overdose. Like, more than I'm dying of one now. YES, STFU THERE TOTALLY ARE DIFFERENT DEGREES OF DYING.

....AAAHHHH I'M COMING DOWN. DDDD-:

Make me a happy panda? :D Clickety click click.

So, yeah, I feel like updating again. I haven't in awhile, but I've been catching up on everyone else's journals and I kind of miss doing this, even though I never have anything terribly interesting to say. -_-

But,  I had a pretty good break. It was relaxing (for the most part), and GOD did I need relaxation. Everyone around here has heard me bitch about my project and about the test that I thought I failed. I spent most of the weekend worrying about the test and OMFG about how I would get everything done by the end of the semester and not fail. While my project is still in the balance, I got the test back and I did very well considering I forgot everything I needed to know (LULZ HE STILL GAVE ME A B. I LOVE THIS MAN.) . And, yeah, it's pretty clear by this point that unless I do really badly in that class' final, I should do well- I might even get a B. That would rock hardcore.

As the semester comes to a close, though, I know I'll miss my Modern Physics class. It's been pretty difficult, but it's been so interesting that even though it's my hardest course, I pay attention and work so hard at it that I'm doing better in that class than any of my other physics classes (I'm sorry, but Stravinsky is definitely going to be my best grade. I really doubt that I would get anything BUT an A in that class...).

But, even with all the distractions I had going on, I really loved seeing Billie Sue again. We had a long-ass trip home, but we talked the whole way back, and then for a few hours before we fell asleep. Wifey, I love you like no other. <33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

It blows my mind that we've been friends since 1st grade, yet we're still going so amazingly strong. And, damn, it's great to talk to someone who likes my evil, cynical sense of humor and my silly, stupid sense of humor. Yeah, I have BOTH motherfuckahs. Be jealous.

So. Yeah. Fill out my Johari window, or I'll eat your soul.

Andddd, hopefully I'll update again soon. If not during exam week, I guarantee I'll update often during Christmas break. SO. LONG.

I made a joke about  being a prostitute to pay tuition.

So naturally, the resident creeper takes out his wallet and asks "How much?"
