So after my fantastico classes today, our suites began what I'm sure will be a month straight of watching Buffy. Megan's boyfriend is in town and he's never seen it, so we have begun the edumacation process (spelling on purpose). Then I got dragged away to a marathon program directors meeting for Anime which took far longer than it should have. There was lots of bitching and gossip sharing and all those good things that happen when girls get together, though work did actually get accomplised. Then after that it was suddenly decided that we needed to see Underworld: Evolution tonight. I had thought we were going to see it tomorrow so that Jeni could come (she was working tonight), but that was not the case.

So, if you liked the first one, this one is more of the same. If you didn't, it's probably not for you, but you should rent it when it comes out just to see the sex scene. Trust me, it's worth it.

Just not in that way.

And I still haven't made it through all of my flist yet and I haven't gotten a chance to comment on any of the episode discussion that's going on, which is saddening. I'm also behind on comments, but all of that I'll get to tomorrow. Right now, I require sleep.

So I've been to all of my classes now, in two days of rain and not quite snow (which, I can tell you is not a good look for Burlington. These past two days have been downright depressing). I've also been out twice in as many days with the L/L crowd and we've managed to make even more things in the world grossly inappropriate. I love my friends. And now it's time for ( Collapse )

I missed Supernatural last night due to an impromptu Denny's trip, so I'm waiting to download it. I can't wait. I heard there was much angsty Dean goodness. And I'm also downloading the second season of SG:A as fast as I can and praying that Amazon hurries the fuck up with the first season I ordered forever ago. I wanna write McKay, damnit!

So, I went to cave today (read: buy CSI Season 5 on DVD) and took $100 out of the ATM. Cut to Coconuts, where I'm buying CSI and the second season of The Office, but my money had disappeared. Not in my wallet, not in my pockets or anywhere on the floor of the store. So I had enough money to buy The Office and I told the guy I'd be back for CSI. Maybe I put the money in my backpack and forgot to take it out. So Jeni and I go to leave and the alarm goes off. We stop in the little alcove thing between the double doors, and I turn to look back at Jeni, and voila! There's the money, magically appearing on the floor.

I guess it was in the lining of my coat or something, but it felt like a Christmas miracle. I'd lost a hundred dollars, or I'd have to make an extra trip. But no! Mana from heaven.

In sum, I have Season 5, which I will be devouring soon, and right now I'm watching The Office and dying with love. You really need a strong constiution to enjoy the show, but my god, I've never seen anything funnier or more true. I watched the first season last year and decided to buy the second, asking for the first for Christmas. I've seen the NBC version and as much as I love Steve Carrell, it's nothing compared to Ricky Gervais in all his smarmy glory.

Which reminds me, I must buy Extras when it comes out on DVD and some of Da Ali G Show.

Now since I've already had my karma fill for the day, I'm going to pay it forward by writing some Christmas fluff for nekosmuse.

Heather just brought back a bunch of magazines from Barnes and Noble where she works. She brought back Attitude which is a UK magazine for gay men (as much as I can gather). And guess what? It was their annual porn edition. I really need a scanner to get all the goodness, but they have an international porn portfolio with the magazines favorite gay porn stars, they talked with Bruce LaBruce and there's so much penis in the magazine I might just go on overload oh, wait, not possible.

( Collapse )

I so need any more gay porn.

So, I get to register Wednesday morning at 6 for next semester's classes and I'm running through the course listings. So far I'm looking at mostly English classes, but that's because they're really the only thing offered that I need (besides gym classes, which I just can't get into unless I have priority or senior registration status. Damn my junior-ness). Here are the classes I'm considering:

ENG 109 - Psychoanalytical and Queer Theory: God, I want to be in this class. It's kind of small, but I'm hoping it doesn't get snatched up by the seniors and I can get in. I really don't need it, I already have a class in that category, but yeah, I want this class.

ENG 118 - Advanced Writing: Fiction: Well, I've already taken the intro class and it was enjoyable, so I'm looking forward to this class. It's also specifically fiction, the intro class was both poetry and fiction, which is nice. I'm pretty sure it won't keep me from fandom writing, it might even spur it on more.

ENG 146 - 19th Century British Novel: I don't want to take this class. I'm so over the 19th century British novel. I've been over it for a very long, long time. But it's in a necessary category for the major and it's the only class being offered this semester. Stupid B category. Have interesting classes! *shakes fist*

JAPN 002 - Elementary Japanese: Just more Japanese. I'll be taking this for the rest of my time here, and I'm enjoying it muchly.

WLIT 110 - Classical Chinese Lit. in Translation: I saw this class last year and I was so upset I couldn't fit it into my schedule. I'm really excited for it, and it works for my Asian Studies minor. Woot.

Those are my first choices. There's also the Mythology class, which I would love to take, but it doesn't fulfill any requirements for me. If it's not full by the time I get to it, I'm all over that. And there's also the follow-up History class to the one I'm taking now, which is China and Japan since 1800. Not very exciting, but good for my minor.

As for the roommate situation ( Collapse )

And I was totally supposed to finish the next chapter of my Apocalyptic WaT fic last night, but I got distracted by this damn game, Betrayal at House on the Hill. You explore a haunted house as much as you can before one of your teammates turns evil and becomes the traitor. Then the heroes get their own goal (probably to kill the traitor) and the traitor has their own objective as well. Then we battle to the death. We ended up playing a marathon three-hour game and I went home tired and without writing more than three paragraphs. So, now I'm off to write.

PS - I'm watching my new WaT Season 1 DVD, specifically "Little Big Man." I knew that when Danny and Martin interrogate they're hot as fuck, but when they fight as well? *ohsodead*

Damnit, fandom. I have porn to write. Stop getting me involved with new things. I have no room left on my hard drive to download new episodes. On that note, ( Collapse )

So, yes, I have a Tuesday show now. *loves all over it*

Also, happy birthday to mexiraz. I wish you subtext and pretty boys to fill your day.

ETA: For my apocolyptic-WaT fic, I have the deepest urge to write about Atkins dieters becoming roaming tribes who herd goats and hunt for larger game. They're very much transient warrior groups, but stricken with a multitude of heart problems. Not that anyone can really diagnose them. My brain is cracktastic.

So, this was going to be a spammy meme post, but instead more shit went down, and I think I'm definitely going to look for a new place. If not for after Christmas then definitely for next year. I was in the bathroom and Courtney and Carly were out in the living room, high, per usual and Katie had just come back from class. There's this pile of trash by the door made up of pizza boxes and take out bags (which I wasn't there for and didn't order or eat. I purposfully didn't make a dish or throw out a piece of trash this week in the apartment). And Katie came in and said that there's so much trash. And then Carly says, "Yeah...we were waiting to see...see if it got taken care of." The inflection was pretty much like that and then Katie went on to say something about how I haven't taken out the trash in a week. So I came out, didn't say anything and just did a sinkload of dishes I didn't make and took out two bags worth of trash I also didn't make and went to L/L.

And I was planning on talking to them today, but this fucking got me near tears again, and the last thing I want to do is cry in front of them. So, now I feel like I'm being watched and judged and I know that anytime they look in the sink and see dirty dishes they don't want to clean or trash they don't want to take out, I'm going to be the one blamed. Fuck, I hate this feeling.

I'm going to talk to Christina, RA and Program director for Anime as an Art Form and see what I can do about getting back in the program. Stephanie is going to New Zealand next semester and her room would be open. I don't know what I'd have to do to make that happen, but I'm going to try, because I just can't deal with this anymore.

In semi-good news, I got a 95 on my Asian History paper I procrastinated on. And CSI and WaT are on tonight. TPTB, make a sad girl happy with a bit of hoyay and some Spanish!Danny.

Yeah, the saga continues:

So, I talked to Carly today. Not the drag everything out, tell them flat out how I feel and why I'm not there kind of talk that I had wanted. Basically it was Carly rehashing the note while Katie nodded and Courtney hid in her room. I said that I don't mind helping out occasionally with the dishes or picking up trash in the living room. I didn't want to get into the real reason why I'm not there (because they still believe that it's just because I have friends here) because they're still a little buzzed from last night and I knew that if I laid it all out today, I'd fuck up their holiday just as much as they fucked up mine.

It became painfully apparent while Carly was talking that they believe they're Right. Anything I say or do against that today will only solidify their stance together as 3 on 1. As much as it hurts right now, it would hurt worse if I knew they were talking about it behind my back tonight, if I was just giving them more ammo to hit me with later. So I'm waiting until Monday when I can really talk about it, when we have the time. What they want is for me to do one fourth of the work, even if I don't make nearly one fourth of the mess. It's them being lazy but they're so convinced that they're Right, I can't think of a single thing that would make them change their mind. Even while sober.

Jesus, even this morning I heard them talking about me, like I'm the monster that lives in the closet. When I got back last night at around 2 I saw Katie leaving Carly's room and I said "hey" and she said "hey" back. This morning I heard Katie telling Court and Carly about it, in that kind of nervous giggly voice you get when you've just been scared out of your mind. I just can't help but wonder whatthe hell I did do make them do this. It sucks so much.

And now I'm crying a-fucking-gain and I just want this to be a happy holiday filled with scary movies and candy and friends. Luckily, I didn't plan on going home tonight even before all this shit went down, so I'm just gonna hang at L/L tonight and watch the scary movies I picked out and hope I can enjoy it.

Fuck.

So here's what had me crying last night:

( Collapse )

Still, I can understand where they're coming from and I don't mind pitching in a bit more, but it doesn't stop me from feeling sick, betrayed and near tears everytime I think about it. I'm uncomfortable in my own home. It's going to be one fucking awkward weekend and it sucks because I love Halloween.

I'd talk to them tonight, but you want to know why I can't? They're shrooming tonight.

My nickname in my friends' suites? "Crack Dealer." My job is to addict my friends to new TV shows, shows they'd never look twice at, but once started, are unable to stop. I've just introduced them to Veronica Mars and they are addicted. There are about eight or nine people watching it right now, split up into three groups who are at different points in the series. Naturally, there are so Logan lovers and some Duncan loves, but everyone loves Wallace. I'm a pretty prolific crack dealer too. Previous series I've pimped to them: Sports Night, Wonderfalls, Firefly, CSI, and Arrested Development. Series I plan to pimp to them: The West Wing, Keen Eddie, Without a Trace, Buffy (though not really, because they already love it, but soon I'll own all of it and we can watch for several weeks in a row), Scrubs, Rome, and Dark Angel. More sure to follow, because I'm a crack dealer like that.

Now, to watch and squee over VM until CSI and WaT come on.
