10:34 am	Well, being "La Gamer Chica" has been nice for a year and a half, but I'm overdue for a screen name change. I think clearing out things, especially my gmail account, will be healthy for me anyway. And besides... "La gamer chica" is a really, really, really dorky phrase. Awkward and dorky. Why didn't someone stop me???? *cough* But yeah. New LiveJournal: LadyArkham New Email: LadyArkham@gmail.com See you all on the other side. Current Mood: quixotic (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:40 pm	( Tribal Wars ) Meanwhile, I've completed one of the major quests in Sryth, which makes me happy. ^_^ Tyler and I survived one of the most tedious and boring labs we've ever done. We were also the first pair out, which bodes well for the rest of the year. Last semester, Rachel and I were usually the first ones done. Apparently, Tyler and his partner were pretty fast too. Since Tyler's partner and mine have both left for greener pastures, (Rachel a different school, the other guy for the Business department,) we'll make a good team. Although I'm not quite sure how to respond when he asks my opinion on getting his bleached-blond swim team hair cut into a mohawk, or shaved mostly off except for one side to comb over, or shaved off except for a fringe at the back... I just... it's a crime for any guy to do that to their hair... *cringe* *happy sigh* I can sleep in tomorrow morning, and then tomorrow is the OSG meeting!

8:43 pm	http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c21/Squato_/sailormoonud7.gif I found this in somebody's forum signature... I wish I knew how to do something with it other than post a link. Like, put it in my rpg.net sig, or make it small enough to use as a livejournal icon. I wish I knew how to make animated lj icons in general, too... (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:50 am	( sleep stuff ) Slept through the night for the first time in ages, and woke up around 8:30 this morning. Yay! Today is Laura's birthday, so make sure you go to Facebook and whatnot and be all "HAPPY 20th!" and stuff. We're trying to get people together to go out for dinner and a movie tonight, and we have an unhealthily delicious cake to present to her afterward. ^_^ Fun times. Cold seems to be clearing up. Hopefully will be entirely well and non-contagious in time for the OSG meeting Thursday. Current Mood: celebratory (2 Comments |Comment on this)

5:26 pm	If I die in the next year or two, I'm honestly serious about having the Allison Kling Memorial DDR Tournament. Just don't let Steve be the one to spell my name. :P I've been thinking about writing some pseudo-Christian fantasy stuff, where people who embody different spiritual gifts form this, like, fighting force or something. Start with the prophetess - "the Eyes of God" - because that's the area that interests me most. Give her dreams that foretell the future in ways only she can understand. And it's like... what then? So I have been putting off writing it. But today, I was exhausted, and I tried to climb into bed and fall asleep, and I just couldn't. I couldn't fall asleep. The paranoia that being sick and tired encourages got me thinking... what if someone is preventing me from sleeping? What if someone doesn't *want* me to sleep? But yeah. The next character would be the Mouth of God - speaker of tongues. I imagine him as the ringleader. Speaking the original language of "Let there be light," kind of thing. That could be some cool power there. I still don't know what they'd *do.* Superheros are easy to come up with... supervillains, not so much. If I could think of an evil and plausible scheme for trying to rule the world, don't you think I'd have used it already? Current Mood: sick (2 Comments |Comment on this)
9:05 am	stupid nightmares. i'm so tired. Anyway. Conversation last night turned interesting, and I thought the results were worth recording. Unicorns accidentally got into Moses' Ark instead of Noah's Ark. They are extremely tiny, and feed off of Aaron's budding staff. They have also evolved scorpion tails to resemble the critters in Revelation. They also play accordion to rally the legions of hell at the apocalypse. However, none of this is strictly canon, so... help me out here someone, 'cause I know I'm going to miss some bits... they are Apocralypsicordion Nanicordicorpions. Changes the way *you'll* watch Raiders of the Lost Ark, doesn't it? Current Mood: tired (Comment on this)

1:31 pm	Tee hee, my secret project is now underway. Documents have been delivered (during lunch, so :P to Brian), my plans are laid out, and all I need to do is put a few finishing touches on my end of things... Mwa ha ha. Classes are awesome. Lab today - check-in, nothing too serious. I wonder who's going to be my lab partner this time around... While Rachel and I had problems getting along, she also was willing to do the calculations and delegate the write-ups to me, which was awesome. My new partner probably won't be quite so willing to go along with that. But maybe we'll also get along well, so that'd be nice too. *shrugs* *edit* My new lab partner is Tyler May! Yay for having a friend in lab! */edit* Ramblings. The more I think about the idea I had for Winterfeast, the less I like it or think it will fit in. So I have to re-face the reality of writing a poem. It's making me rather anxious. The rest of being President is awesome, though. Talking to Mr. Gordon was an interesting experience - if he doesn't follow through on asking me up to "discuss the organization's goals," I might just email him later this semester to set it up anyway. I need to begin hunting down Folkertsma - I've sent him an introductory email *coughdeclarationofwaragainsthisreclusivenesscough* and will probably go start hanging around his office on Tuesday and Thursday mornings around chapel next week. Double chapel credit tomorrow! Anyway. Two things I want to accomplish with the Order this semester: 1. Update our organization's description. This should be easy enough, we just write it and send it to Mr. Gordon. 2. Get the DDR tournament underway. It is now officially both Folkertsma- and Sprow-hunting season. It should be fun.

11:21 pm	I like my classes. I especially like only having three classes today, and being done at noon. My second and third classes are exactly the same as last semester - Srta. Forrester with Advanced Spanish Grammar, and Dr. Kriley with Chemistry. Not what you'd call *easy* either one, but expected. Normal. My first class of the morning, Biology 102, is taught jointly by Drs. Jenkins and Dudt. They introduced each other, explained that they'd known each other since they were undergrads, and made some comments to each other that *could* be interpreted as jokes, if you knew what on earth they were talking about. They basically act like they want to be a comedy duo, but they both want to be the straight man. So it's hard to tell when something they say is funny, except that they both laugh. If that makes sense. Yay for structure. Yay for having friends around again. And yay for sleep. Current Mood: content (3 Comments |Comment on this)

12:51 am	I think some of the happiest words you can hear from a friend are "See you tomorrow." Possibly after "I don't think you broke the oil pan off," and "Just because that was illegal doesn't make you a bad person." Current Mood: hyper (2 Comments |Comment on this)

9:43 pm	So I spent a little while today moving everything off of the floor and onto desks or beds and methodically sweeping every corner of the room. I got about a cup, cup and a half of dust and dust bunnies, as well as a ton of blond hair and fuzzy grey rubber bands, off of the floor and out of the vents and into our trash can. I look around the room and *I* can see the difference. Nobody else will be able to. Maybe I can't even see the difference, I just know what's different. But I'm inordinately proud of it. The floor shimmers. ^_^ I didn't get my hair cut today, or do any shopping, but I did spend a while with Adam and his dad which was cool. It's good to have a friend around again. And it's also cool because there's a new dynamic between the two of us - we're the President and Vice President of the Order now. We get to discuss Order business, and it *matters.* I've found this awesome online game - www.sryth.com - a text-based one player fantasy RPG. If anybody wants to try it out, make sure to put LadyArkham as your referrer ^_^. It's cool. Stress headaches have been absent today - as has stress. And yay for books not being quite so expensive this year. Life is good. Current Mood: peaceful (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:01 pm	Geez, between the combined forces of Tenchi and George last night, and Alex this morning with his scandalous adventures in Japan, I feel like my brain's all smudgy and smeared again. However, after the final tomorrow, my day is filled with happy and normal activities. Shopping for room decor and other girly domestic things, possibly getting my hair cut, hanging out with Adam when he arrives. It'll be nice. It'd also be nice if I skip doing some of that and get some sleep instead. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:25 am	I finished writing at about 1am, decided to edit and cite sources in the morning, and went to sleep. Kept waking up through the night remembering that my paper wasn't finished, my heart would start racing and I'd feel like I needed to jump up and work on it *right now,* and then it took me a while to get back to sleep. I'm tired. I did sources and stuff this morning before class, ended up with 7 and 1/2 pages, double-spaced, 10 point font. It had to be 5-7 pages. I cut it down during class to *Exactly* seven pages. It's finally finished. I'm done with the blasted thing forever. Hallelujah. I think it's arguably the worst paper I've ever written. Well, I'm proud of parts of it, but some of it is utter nonsense. Study for the final tomorrow morning, and then read Genji and watch House and Angel. And sleep. Yaaay. Current Mood: tired (Comment on this)

8:25 am	I just reread that last entry... Man. I have weird dreams. On a happier note... ( Lemon Stars ) Heck, I might even make up the chocolate glaze for Lemon Dice. (1 Comment |Comment on this)
3:17 am	3:15 am, I wake up out of a dream, open my eyes, and see an absolutely enormous spider crawling down the wall toward my bed. I mean, like at least an inch, inch-and-a-half long. I jump out of bed and start freaking out, which I think is understandable. I throw on the light and start searching the wall and both beds for signs of the wretched thing. 3:20 am, I'm almost willing to admit that the beast was the tail end of a bad dream and not the beginning of waking up. Almost. Meanwhile, I have adrenalin pounding through my body, and every time I think of getting back into bed, visions of enormous spiders crawl through my head. Spiders are the Thing That Bothers Me. Some girls have snakes, some have rats. My mom has crickets. (?) I have spiders. I hate teh way they move, I hate the thought of them biting and... Oh gosh, now the horrible idea has crept into my brain that the thing crawled into my clothing. I'm going to go shower now. *edit* I've stripped my bed and shaken out blankets and pillows and sheets and thoroughly examined the crack between the bed and the wall. No spider. I don't remember turning the light on. I remember waking up and seeing the spider on the wall - I think the light was on when I saw the spider - and then I leapt up gasping "OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH," so hard that my chest hurts now. But I don't remember turning the light on. So did I dream that I saw the spider, and then wake up and turn the light on? Did I turn the light on in my sleep, or forget to turn it off before I went to sleep? Aaargh. Giant spider in my bed nightmares are God's way of saying "Wake up and finish your paper, stupid." Why do Joseph and the Wise Men get angels, and I get an eight-legged hellbeast in my bed? *snurk* maybe those guys were phobic of angels too. I think that'd be an awesome phobia to have. "I am an angel, sent by God-" "AAAHHH!" Although I guess dreaming of an angel crawling down the wall to build a nest in your bed might be a bit freakier than dreaming of a spider doing it.
