I'M DONE!

I'm done, I'm done, I'm done. I've passed in everything that was required of me to end this godforsaken course. I'm done. I'll get my diploma at... some point, I don't even know when. Grad is on the 25th and while I've applied to graduate I haven't paid for the cap and gown because I've been through this a couple times already so I don't think I need to sit through another of those.

So now I can work on Big Bang (Good LORD I need to work on my Big Bang)! And read. And look for a job. And GET BETTER. I can do shit that won't depress the fuck out of me every day! I'm DONE.

And to celebrate my roommate and I.... sat on the side of the road in her broken down car on one of the busiest roads in the city. :| It was kind of fun, I suppose, although less for her since it's HER car. Once we got it back to the res it started up fine but she's going to get her dad to look at it when he gets here tomorrow for a visit.

I might buy a bike. I'm excited!

AND AND! I think I might post icons tonight. I've had those request icons done for awhile but didn't want to post them until I was finished everything else. AND NOW I AM. FOREVER!

*glee*

A group of guys (maybe two? At opposite ends?) just serenaded pretty much the whole campus with a rousing rendition of Denis Leary's "Asshole".

Oh, boys.

Class is cancelled. Class is cancelled. Classiscancelled. CLASS IS CANCELLED. CLASS IS CANCELLED.

And I actually worked on a chunk of my assignment last night. :(

BUT CLASS IS CANCELLED!

I'm going back to bed!

Dammit. I no longer have any really excited icons.

Hey! Hows about y'all link me to icon posts that you've flipped over in the past week or so? I have some I've been combing through but I'd like to get a wide variety. Pretty please?

In the meantime, Maxxie!bum will have to suffice.

I'm supposed to be in class right now but Jen (my roommate) and I left WAY early. Like- 2.5 hours of 3 early. It's a stupid, bullshit class where we do bullshit stuff so Jen and I were like- we understand what's going on so we're working on it at home.

Since the beginning of the semester, in January, we've been working on this PR plan for a fictional hospital. We have a series of tasks to do to get said hospital ready for a massive fund raising drive in 2010. So we've been listing ways to achieve each task, setting a budget and time line for them and appointing one of three employees to get them done. Right now we're on the step to write up a job description for each of the three employees, based on the tasks we've assigned them.

WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE JANUARY. Want to know the most maddening part? SOME PEOPLE IN MY CLASS STILL DON'T GET IT. This thing is due next Wednesday so I'll take a half hour out over the weekend or something and finish it. Insanity. This programme was NOT meant for people who have already been through university or been working and understand the concept of REAL pressure and deadlines.

The real reason for this post? When I woke up this morning I was in that floaty place where I could hear the music from my alarm but I could easily have slept through it, too. But my brain decided to say, "BRB, posting to coffeeforum.com"

:| :| :|

I HAVE NO IDEA. That's seriously what woke me up. I wasn't dreaming, I was just waking up and for some reason my brain decided to send THAT through my head. Weirdest thing ever.

I'm unbelievably directionally impaired. I have no concept of distance, I don't understand where I am when use a different door of a building I use daily, I can't get my brain to figure that stuff out. I just DON'T GET IT. When I go anywhere someone else navigates or I ask the drivers which bus I should take when I use them, which usually works well.

I had to go see an ad client today at her office on one of the main drags in the city. I asked a waiting bus driver who told me to take EITHER the 23 or 24. The 24 arrived and on the scroll thingie it said 'link to street'. I got on at 3:15 but a half hour later I was sitting at an exchange terminal on the other side of the city, waiting.

I approached the bus driver to ask how long it would be until we'd get to the street. She told me not until 4pm, then asked where I got on. Apparently I took the wrong bus, that I should have been on the 23.

I relayed that the bus driver said I should take EITHER 23 or 24, which, to me, meant whichever one was there, not that BOTH would be there. She said I should have asked BOTH bus drivers, that I'd learned a lesson and laughed at me. When I said I'd seen her scroll thingie said 'link to street' she said that was where she was COMING from, not where she was going.

*FACEPALM* I made it to my client for a three minute meeting that took 45 minutes to get to. AND? The bus driver was talking on her cell phone as she drove. This city sucks.

I need some Torchwood lovin' now. OH! And welcome to all the new people from my friending bender!

I posted a tutorial last night! My first one that's NOT SPN. If you see any icons I've made that you're curious about how I made just drop me a comment and I'll see if I have the .psd to make a tutorial out of it. Or I might be able to come up with something. Tutorials are fun!

And I said what about Breakfast at Tiffany's?

There's a Feedback Meme happening right now. I am here. I'm going to try to reply to as many people as I can but, truth be told, I suck hardcore in the fic reading department. I honestly cannot remember the last SPN fic I read. Isn't that SAD? I have one open, estei's latest, right now so I'll see if I can get through that one.

~~~

I can has valentine's? February is such a shitty, shitty month so this thing rocks hardcore. Please link me to your Valentinr because I think I missed a bunch.

There's some Superbowl thing going on today at the pub that's close and they're having super cheap wings today (usually it's Wednesdays)--2$/dozen. But that's seriously the only reason why I'm thinking of going. There are going to be a bunch of people from my programme there and while I can take a couple of them now in short doses they're NOT the people that I want to sit around, shooting the shit and having drinks with. There are a couple people who seriously drive me to rant to the point of screaming. Eh, it's not like the wings are even THAT good, right? Sure, they have dill pickle wings but they're SO NOT good for you and they make me feel like ass after. And I don't even understand football.

So. Yeah.

~~~

Thanks to everyone who commented on last night's post with links to comms and stuff for fashion/modeling pictures. I'm going to check them out today!

SO NOT a fan of 8am meetings. Especially ones that I really didn't need to show up for. LAME.

~~~

I think my roommate is finally doing the dishes. Usually I break and do them because I just can't stand the clutter and mess. BUT I HELD STRONG this time! And now they are being done. Success! The way she does dishes drives me (you can't stack bowls INSIDE of each other and expect them to dry!) but they're getting done. If that's the only thing that really irks me about living with her I'd say I need to shut the hell up, eh?

~~~

It's -34 outside right now but the wind has died down. My lips still get numb but my boogies only freeze a little when I'm outside! TMI? Sorry.

~~~

I have to start job searching for serious because Spring break is in about 20 days (I know, freakishly early, eh?) and if I can set up interviews for that time I'll fly to Toronto to make the rounds. We'll see what I can find. The job at the magazine I saw there fell through as they're already in interviews, but that's okay. I wasn't crushed when I found out and I expected as much anyway.

I've been capping s2 SPN dvds again.

( This week in Wonky Eyed Theatre )

~~~

I desperately need to finish some fic, any fic, for vitamin_fic by Thursday (new SPN day! WOO!). I have one SO CLOSE but I've just been so damn tired when I WANT to write lately. And very unfocused. Sucks. I'm also going to change up my layout, I just have to work on a new header which has been proving more difficult than necessary.

~~~

How did Monday treat you all?

I posted textures! Click the image to go to the post.

- There's a great discussion on writing sex scenes going on over here @ spnroundtable
- These icons by rerapped are AWESOME. There are various celebs, some Gossip Girl, Skins, HP icons. Lovely!
- These icons are awesome sauce, as well, by abernathi. They make really great icons and there are some SPN ones in that set, as well!

winchestercon is being held in Boston in October this year! I wasn't sure if I wanted to go again after last year, if maybe I went, saw, bought the t-shirt and was ready to be done, but I REALLY want to go again. I'm kind of set on being on Toronto once I finish with this course and HAVE to start prospecting and getting my portfolio started and whatnot to get going on finding a job. It's an hour and a half flight each way or a nine hour drive from the general TO area. It seems so far away when you count the months but they FLY BY. I have to SAVE SAVE SAVE to go, basically. Cause once I'm done here I really am tossed out on my ass into the big, bad world forever and ever, amen.

What looks to be my favourite class this semester is taught by the instructor I have the least respect for. It's communication law which sounds absolutely drop-dead boring but it's SO AWESOME. Maybe I should have done law, after all. And my instructor's had a personality transplant or something.

~~~

OH! I meant to mention this last week because I was SO IMPRESSED but I forgot. I bought over 100$ worth of stuff from La Senza (our Victoria's Secret- Literally, because it was sold to VS in the past couple years) for 60 cents. YES. SIXTY CENTS. I had 75$ in Christmas gift cards, then 10% off with my prestige card AND I had a 20$ off a purchase of 100$ or more coupon. SCORE. I bought 5 pairs of underwear, slippers, an awesome robe and two sets of jammies/lounge wear. I would wear ONLY La Senza stuff 24/7 if I thought I could get away with it.

~~~

Did I mention I bought When a Stranger Calls last week because I saw Katie Cassidy on the back cover and was like- I HAVE TO CAP THAT! ? *facepalm* It's one thing to buy Devour or House of Wax (Which I love, btw) but to buy something like When a Stranger Calls because Katie's in it for what will probably turn out to be a whopping five minutes before she's filleted by the killer is either extreme dedication or a severe girl crush. I'm thinking it's a little of both. Oh, don't tell me if she dies or what happens. I want a SURPRISE. :D

Shit, weird Katie/Lauren RPS plot bunny just bit. *marge simpson grumble*

I want to write so badly right now but I think I'm going to bed early tonight. Like, before 1am. I'm currently writing a piece inspired by cathybites' awesome demon!tail!Sam fic (if you don't know what that is, you haven't seen the awesome) and a fic to go with one of the fanmixes that ended up getting out of control from the fanmix meme almost a month ago. I suppose I could post a couple of the others but I'm still finding songs and really going overboard with this.

I REALLY need to start working on the other fics I have due and GOOD LORD, finish something before the end of the months for vitamin_fic! I think I might make that filter anyway, just to hash out ideas and get inspiration and try to keep on track. I don't know if I'll post snippets or anything from my fics because that's like reading the whole fic before it's posted, but we'll see. I'll mull it over.

~~~

Mull. Hee.

Please to be not fucking with the formatting of my emails, mmmkay? Go back to left alignment because I can't tell what's going on with this centering shit.

The meds I'm on for my abscessed tooth make me have a horrible taste in my mouth all the time. Like rancid hairspray. :| I'll be brushing my teeth a lot at Wincon. Speaking of, 48 hours from now I'll be in a shuttle being driven to the airport. *FULL-BODY SHUDDER OF EXCITEMENT*

And now I have to go get ready for a class that I want to commit justifiable homicide in. :|

Feeling sort of shitty for the past couple of days. School starts up soon and while I do enjoy it and will enjoy my courses, I don't want to go back. I've had an awesome summer, coupled with far too many years at my current uni equals a generally discontented me. Blah. There's also been some work stuff (nothing horrendous, just unsettling) that's been hovering as well, so that doesn't help. And just some general health ickiness on top of it all.

I'm almost done my set of Gale icons for actors100 (like- 8 icons away, I think) and I never thought I'd say this, but I don't want to make another Gale icon for a long time. I'm not Galed out, but there's only so many pictures of him and only so many ways you can look at them and want to move on to something different. But I've persisted and the set will likely be up by Thursday, by the latest.

Right now I'm feeling the need to do something else creative, something to get me out of this rut. So I'm asking for some prompts for drabbles. A pairing, situation, words, RPS, QaF, MAYBE Buffy, drabble gapfillers from my fics even- whatever. Hit me up. I have no qualms about squick, but I can't guarantee anything if the inspiration just isn't there. I'd even try my hand at some Firefly (OMG ONLY HAVE THREE EPS LEFT TO WATCH) drabbles, to see if I can get anything from it, but I really can't promise anything there.

Prompt me, baby.
