  • Ridiculous 2005-05-06 22:18:18 Song of the moment - "Last Hurrah" by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

    Wow. So my roommate and I and two other kids go outside in the woods to smoke. We finish the first blunt and go to light the second one. All of a sudden we see headlights flash on. We bug out and start sprinting through the woods, trying to get to the other side. Now I'm wearing birkenstocks, which have no back. They are also $120 shoes. So as I;m running they keep falling off and sinking into the mud. My favorite shoes. Theyre swade so I dont think they can get wet but I had to clean them off so I did.

    So now I want food and I want to not be freaking out anymore. I hate stuff like this. I;m such a wuss when it comes to that.

    Sigh...

    Ok we're ordering food and I'm chilled out now. Little food, little ffxi, little sleep, shoes will be dry in the morning, and everything will be fine. Ok, breathe.

    "The last hurrah,
    Do it again,
    The rascal king behind the bars
    Or the one in front of them."

    Hmm...played a lot of FFXI today and studied a lot. Plusses in both areas: got from level 22 to 24 in FFXI and made a good study packet for math.

    I posted a comment in an OP that I received. The guy really pissed me off. I worked really hard on that video and I think it's a pretty good amv, but he gave me a 6 overall and a 4 for effort. Ok, 6 overall, whatever, you can diss on my video if you didnt like it. But a 4 for effort? FUCK you dude. Fuck you. He hasnt even made any videos, so what the fuck does he know about effort. I am angry.

    Ok, I'm over it.

    Everyones starting to go home, and it makes me sad. I look back on all the memories and everything and I get all nostalgic and shit. I cant wait to go home though!!!

    Ok, I;ve cooled off. Today, Bronson Arroyo almost pitched a no-hitter. He's on my fav team (YEAH RED SOX!! WOOO) and also on my fantasy baseball team.
    Good shit.

    In a few mins I'm headed down to Jackie's to look over our final project. It's the last time I'll ever go down there :(. She's a cool girl, I hope we still hang out next year.


    "I just want you to know,
    You're not making this easy..." 
  • Well, I'm bored 2005-05-05 00:01:31 Song of the moment: "Hemmorage (In My Hands) by Fuel"

    Hmm, I'm bored. As I was writing the title to this entry, one of my roommates ran in with a construction cone. I think I'll let it go. At least our room is a safe from any oncoming traffic now.

    I think I'm really going to miss being at school. Yeah, I mean, sometimes it's really hard, and my roommate's a dick sometimes, but I really do love it here. This summer will be fun though. I can't wait to go sailing or even to have some time to myself. When I go home I'm going to spice up my room so it looks all snazzy and new. It's in the basement so I want to brighten it up. I'm going with a nice green paint to match my posters (a lot are paintings of hillsides or small villages because I want to live in a small town when I grow up). It will be fun. I also have so much time off, I love it.

    I feel like I repeat things a lot, I apologize if I do.

    So my roommate Christian and I went down to the dance performance at our school today. Sounds gay, doesnt it? Well the thing is we know this girl named Lauren who is a dancer down there (she's pretty good too, and looks nice in tight black pants :P) So we go down there at 8, like she told us, and everyone's walking out. We missed it, it ended at 7:45... She was supposed to be the closing act, going on at 8. I felt kind of bad that we missed it, but she seemed to understand. On a slightly different subject, sometimes it seems like theres a chemistry between us. Who knows, we'll see what happens this summer.

    Speak of the devil, Julie just signed on. When someone signs on I never want to IM them, it seems creepy. Like you sign on and right away someone IM's you. I always wait for them to IM me first. Is that weird? I don't think so, it seems to make sense to me. When I sign on, it is nice to have people IM you right away though, depending on who it is - if its a close friend or a girl I'm interested in, I'm like "sweet dude", but if its someone weird, I'm like "argggg don't talk to me" Anyways, Lauren did look hot tonight. She's really different from most girls I'm interested in. I usually like brunettes, and she is a brunette, but there's just something different about her. I can't put my finger on it but I like it. Hmmmm...well stay posted.

    I really want to edit my new video so I can put it online for y'all, but premiere is being a bitch. Also, that program takes forever to use. WMM is so easy to use. What I do is make the basic movie in WMM and then add effects, transitions, and a second video/picture layer in Premiere. I think its a system that works well. I'm considering making an AMV to enter in a con this summer, but I dunno. It is kind of intimidating. I'll have to watch my buddy Joe's videos first, so I can compare. He has a very different style though. He's enterring a comendy lip sync video of FLCL to Numa-numa. Sounds funny, but I dunno. That's definately not me. I always do serious videos, usually with romance or strife included. I think it evokes more emotion from the viewer that way. Oh well, I guess I might as well go get started on studying math. You stay classy AMV.org.



    "She cries that life is like some movie,
    black and white...

    Over and over and over again
    She cries:
    Don't fall away
    And leave me to myself..." 
  • Yay, 1 to go! 2005-05-04 16:50:16 Alright, one more final left. Music was soooo easy, I think I nailed it. I was the first done and finished it within 20 minutes or so. So that's good. Tonight I have nothing to do besides email in my anthropology final papers and maybe work on my english lit paper. or play FFXI :D.

    3 more days til home!

    My dad came up today to take home some things and then to take me out to lunch, which was pretty cool. I got a bacon cheeseburger. It was good to be able to drive and to get off campus. Some of the roommies are really getting on my nerves. I can't wait to go home and have the room to myself again. I think I'm going to clean it all out and then I'm painting it with a woodlands theme, green walls. I think i want to live in the country when I'm older. I hate city driving. Well, gotta run, more later. You stay class AMV.org. 
  • FINALS WEEK!!! WOOOOOOooooOOOooooOoOooo... 2005-05-03 20:52:57 Song of the moment: "Taking Care of Business"

    Wow, I did so much fucking work today, I love it. Here's my finals week checklist:

    Bible Final: Done, B-, final grade, B-

    English Literature: 1,500 words typed so far, <500 to go

    Anthropology: Final Project: done
    3 Essay take-home final: done
    Country Portfolio Reflection: done

    Music Fundamentals: Final tomorrow at 3:30, studied some, more tonight

    Mathematics: Final Friday at 12:30: studied a bit, but this is the one I'm
    worried about.

    So yeah, I'm proud of myself today, I took an aderol and just banged out those papers, so I have so much less to worry about. It sucks about music though, because I missed having it excused by 1 fucking point ><. Oh well, I think I'll do well on it.

    Math scares me though, because it's a cumulative final and its all some really confusing stuff, so I hope the kid down the hall, Moose, helps me study. I just asked him, I hope he says yes.

    He said yes.

    I'm wicked bored, but I don't want to go study, cuz I'm tired of it. I think I'll go chat and then play some FFXI. Pce.
