Alright, I don't remember when this was last updated and I'm doing a blanket entry in notepad, so not only am I bored, but I'm lazy as well. So we'll start up at the most interesting recent event I can remember and work from there.

Brian and I split. For good. We're still stuck together, since he can't afford food and I can't cook much... but then I met my roommates. I thought I was stuck in a room with three horribly loud girls who would get on my last nerve within days of my moving in, (which is why the agreement that I would buy food and Brian would cook even came about,) but alas, Ngoc (pronounced "na") and Ashley are awesome, and Lashae is pretty cool for a teenager. So now I'm trying to figure out how to balance Brian's whiny-ness with my desire to spend time with my awesome roommates... closest I can come is to have dinner downstairs with the girls and Brian. I get that Brian doesn't have tons of friends around now that his buds are all moving to the four corners of the Earth (state, technically, but might as well) yet he's been on me since I got here to go make friends, and now that I've got people besides him I wanna hang out with and he's the one whining. It's frustrating and not endearing him to me in the slightest.

I skipped things... Brian and I had to spend break together because his friends are moving. The impression I got from that situation is that the guys kept giving the money to one roommate dude so that he would pay the bills, which he didn't, and the money somehow disappeared... which is suspect because this dude just hooked up with a spoiled bitch. Personally, I'm of the opinion that this girl is just with him because she's feeling old (mid-twenties and dumb as a rock) and therefore desperate to get married, and since this is his first real relationship there's no telling him as much. Anyway, my point was that I expected break to be horrible since it was a month long, but it worked out pretty well up until that last week and a half. At that point, somehow "yea, sure I'll help" got twisted in his brain to "yea, I'll do everything you assume I will because you don't feel like it, and I'll take your orders, just don't forget to say them as if you were talking to a dog or I won't understand" ... rawr... fer srs... and then the whining crybaby bullshit started and I wanted to smother him with a pillow.

Enough of Brian. I'm gonna not spend so much time with him for a while and see if he's chilled out afterward. Back to my roommates. I share a room with Ngoc, she and I are like the parents of the room. She's the good girl to my slightly naughty, so we work well when 'Shae starts getting hyped up. Ashley's like... the lunatic cousin that everyone likes, I guess... she gets into a zone when she gets online (like I do), but then she gets off and does her crafts and her drawings and other manners of awesomeness. Shae is the youngest of us, and has some habits that I could see getting on my nerves in the worst way, but I'm trying to control that. She is still essentially a good person.

My teachers are great, too. Last term I had a crazy, awesome Algebra teacher, so because he isn't teaching the next Algebra class this term I'm waiting for that for next term (winter) and taking Composition 2 with his wife, who is equally crazy and awesome. My HR Management teacher is a bit boring, but she's nice enough to give us options rather than forcing us shy peoples to stand up and do oral presentations. Intro to Business is the class I think I'm going to enjoy most. The teacher is nuts, full of stories, (kinda looks like this guy), and reminds me a bit of my mom. Fun times.

OH! And I'm writing again... sort of... it's okay so far, but I've only got about three pages just now, so it's a little early to tell. If I ever get enough scraped together that doesn't suck ogre ass I'll post it.

Later

Let's see what's what...

Um... I've been a college student since January! That's... kinda news... my roommate's pretty awesome... I'm taking a speech class this term and that's going great. Made the Dean's list and get a free dinner about a week after my birthday... probably helped that I got an A in math last term.

OH! Yes, my birthday's Thursday. I'll be 24 and not doing as well as I'd planned in algebra... there's something fucked up about being 24 and shit at algebra (not even "algebra"; PRE-algebra), but hey, I'm a librarian seedling; I'm never gonna use math that calls making a problem into a smaller problem a solution anyway. Mostly I'll be dealing with money, and since I'm pretty good with decimals, I think I'll be fine. I just gotta get through this class or I'll have to have it payed for again.

But BOYS... jeez-oh-petes, boys... what am I ever going to do with "mine". I broke up with him the end of January - because I felt like a Gold-Plated Blowup Doll and couldn't take it anymore, - but it's okay 'cause we got back together the day before Valentine's. The big talk was documented, but I think we're slipping back into bad habits anyway. Doesn't help that I keep having dreams about Justin, and stuff keeps popping up to remind me of Blackwell (songs, food, stuff... people... yea, weird) but I'm working with it.

I'm trying to do the healthy healthy thing, but it's hard to do when you're a college kid on a $90 per month allowance. I'm doing what I can.

So yea... that'd be my life right now... I still screw around on the computer all night sometimes, and I'm playing video games again, but outside of all this... yea, I have nothing.

Hope you're all having more fun,
K

Little bunny foo foo, hopping through the forest, scooping up the idiot computers and bopping 'em on the head.
Then one day, a beautiful faerie came down and said;
"Little bunny foo foo, I don't want to see you, scooping up the idiot computers and bopping 'em on the head...

flamethrowers work so much better."

I hate my internet connection... but at least this computer has an N key.

There's really not much good about being home again. I get room to toss and turn in my bed without worrying about elbowing Brian in the head or something, the laundry room's right downstairs, my shower doesn't try to drill holes in me (and if it did I could fix it), I don't have to worry about anyone getting booted out on the street if I get seen, and I got mead at the renny fair when I got back...

But, I'm away from my boyfriend, I hardly have a phone, my internet's restricted 'cause everything awesome is beyond my connection's capabilities, and my college attempts are being slowed by the IRS.

:sigh: December is far too far away... and that's the soonest we're going to have full phone and wireless internet back... at least I get to see Brian in November, I guess I can focus on that.

Okay, I'm stuck. So I'm asking those of you who for whatever reason watch me; help me. I've got photoshop and msn and I want a grin emote that doesn't suck ass. I can draw it just fucking fine, I just can't get it to present well on MSN. It Blows and I want it ended. GRRAARRRGGG

In other news; I spent June in Grand Rapids. In the beginning I was just gonna spend the weekend with a friend who was graduating college... but then there were those HUGE storms...

So we've been dating for about a month now, and he's stealing me next week for the last week he's spending in his apartment. I had been trying to find work out there - which is different and bad without internet, - but he's moving to the dorms of his new school and without him having a place of his own it'd be a BIG commute... particularly without a car of my own.

Since I've been back it's back to business as normal. I've been on Stickam a lot 'cause dAmn has been so fucking dead. I've been on youtube a bit, too... mostly I've been just bored. Trying to fix that by going back to a couple old habits, like writing while watching TV, or painting when I'm listening to music, but inspiration has been... elusive.

See? I can't even end a journal entry properly. I gotta find something.

Thanks tons to Deathtosanity who mentioned our shiny, shiny custom emotes being back in his latest fractal, I can take breaks from crackam... er... stickam. I shall be returning periodically, but probably not as often as I used to since I have other places where I can stare at drool-worthy guys, ladies with pretty pretty voices, and listen to smart people as they confuse me. I've been hanging out with a bunch of youtubers that I met in a room called Absurdia, so yea... links later on.

I have come to the conclusion that while dAmn has the right idea with the privclasses and the title/topic bars, stickam still kicks butt just for the fact that you can see and hear people and choose to remove assholes from your screen. The only real thing that bugs me is that our room rules are unwritten. Meh, ya make do... ensures the "warn the n00b" policy gets enforced.

So yea... my life hasn't got exciting. I got my cam, so a couple videos are on my channel on youtube, and our house is once again crammed full of junk we should probably toss, but nothing monumental comes to mind... oh, and I'm learning Italian. Seems like a good idea if shit hits the fan... how often do you hear of Italy in the news (excluding the Catholic church crap)? Kait's learning German, though, so we'd be well covered if we ever actually left the continent.

I'm out of stuff to talk about... you can tell when you spend five minutes just kinda staring at the screen. Have links instead (and these are just the people I talk to that I can remember offhand...).
