Uhhhg oh my god, so I've started studying up to take the GRE because apparently somewhere in the back of my brain I want to go back to school and it's HARD. I haven't thought about serious analogies or how to find the square root of anything since I was in HIGH SCHOOL, which was, like, EIGHT YEARS AGO. My study habits in school were always kind of schizophrenic and procrastinatorial anyway, and ...

Do you guys ever have, like, sexy schlump days? I totally felt like I was working this stay-on-the-couch, live-in-my-pajamas, don't-brush-my-hair thing yesterday. Or I could just still be riding the high of being in my own space that is hundreds and hundreds of miles away from Winne-fucking-mucca. I needed a recuperation period from my vacation. Ohhhhh my god, let me fill you in a little, and ...

I really did not want to make this post. The whole ticket thing really screwed us up. But then flusteredspeech and idril_telrunya and a few others told me weeks ago that they couldn't go due to reasons I'll let them explain, and I was like, meh, whatever, I'll still go, I freaking love Chicago, even if I can't go to the Con itself. And then? And then earlier this month I ...

...Jared and Jensen who? 'Cause I think I'm more excited about hanging out with people in Chicago than the Con itself! HA HA OH DEAR. ALSO, whispered_theme , flusteredspeech , idril_telrunya , magikalrhiannon , spazzbot , orange74 , and feendish , HEY GUYS. Alright, um. Lauren? I know you said you weren't sure if you were able to go, and...

I was going to be all "here are the things going on in my life!" on here today, but we just had to put Ty to sleep and I'm a snotty-faced mess now. I talked about it a little a while ago, but he's been going steadily downhill this summer and this afternoon he started having seizures. My parents ran him to the animal emergency clinic in town and they got him stabilized, but they said it was ...

I spent my entire "weekend" off the past couple days sanding down and re-staining our balcony and back porch. EXHAUSTING. Power tools, however, are sweet. And the decks look really good now. I am house/dog-sitting for the next two days! I get to hang out with big dumb dogs! Awesome! My mom put up on Facebook today (she also "suggested" I friend my best friend's mom, who is adorable and the ...

SO. The Travis concert was, of course, INSANELY AWESOME. I wasn't quite as "HOLY SHIT AAAH" as the first time , but I still kind of feel like my heart exploded a little every time Dougie Payne smiled at me. And Fran's voice sounded amaaazing that night, probably because it was only the second night of the tour. He covered that Katy Perry song about kissing girls , which I've never particularly ...

Packing makes me want to poke out my own eyes...

... of heat stroke in my sweaters because Vancouver will have some freak heat wave that no one could have predicted. Idk. Damn Daylight Savings time. I have to go to bed now so I can wake up early because I have the same problem is flusteredspeech and my cell phone is my alarm clock. And I am kind of worried that it won't change time...and I open tomorrow. Damn you DST DAMN YOU TO HELL!

I tried to take pictures of the dog today, but my camera just threw itself a little hissy fit and the memory card appears to be entertaining suicidal thoughts. I don't know how to talk it down. :( Winter reinstated itself today, though! It's been ridiculously springy for the last 2-3 weeks, sunny and warm, but I looked out the window late this morning and there was a BLIZZARD going on. It only ...

don't make me grade!

...happening on Memorial Day weekend so I can do it all. HELL YES. Tickets go on sale at the end of this month, and I'm all over it. In light of this good fortune, I finally decided to complete flusteredspeech 's music meme: 1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter. If you want a letter let me know! 2. List (and upload, if you feel like it) 5 songs that start with that letter....
