I've had some semi-strange dreams recently.
Night before last it was that I got to school and the townhouse turned out to be a cramped triple, Brasington nowhere in sight. Apparently the entire year had already passed, though, cause Mike and I were packing up, talking about how disappointed we were discovering we didn't have an apartment but were living in the same 15x15 sq. ft space along with Patrick. At least we had survived the year.
Last night I was at a club in a shopping mall sort of place, maybe a glorified train station/airport. It seemed we were celebrating someone's birthday and were club/bar hopping. Everyone was leaving and Elizabeth came to find me, she was riding with John Barrowman (apparently he's just someone we hung out with) to the next place. I drank a magically appearing beer. Apparently we also hang out with Gareth David-Lloyd too, he was in a hallway talking on the phone dressed in godawful late 90s/early 00s eurotrash raver clothes. Sarah came out of the bathroom and asked us who was driving. She and Gareth were v. drunk, I was only slightly tipsy, but paranoid. Mitchell appeared and drove us to a parking lot, talking to me about t-shirts and musicals the entire time. After that, things are hazy, maybe I woke up.

Jul. 30th, 2008 03:00 pmOn Thursday the 24th, Sebastian died after three years of loyal service. It wasn't exactly sudden, he had been sick for over a year, but at some point Thursday afternoon his little hard drive just stopped spinning altogether. Despite multiple attempts at reviving him, his illness was too great. Ilu Sebastian <3.
With my recent paycheck I have purchased Hamlet, one of these newfangled, superthin, 80gig monsters. He's okay, I guess. V. shiny.
Saw IMAX Batman (overwhelming and awesome) and Elizabeth (<3!) and I fangirled out about various insignificant things throughout.
Dinged 69...finally.
Am rereading Watchmen because I forgot about half of what happened. Halloween=Rorschach.
Played D&D VERY briefly last weekend. It involved a pony, a kick-ass blond girl, and booze.
Watched The Bunker. It was strange, British, and Jack Davenport-y.
Talked with nice boy who looks like Neil Patrick Harris working at Starbucks who played with Harry and the Potters at a gig.
V. tired.
Gross weather is gross.
Something SUPER WEIRD just happened when lightning struck involving the light above me and the balloon tied to my chair 0.o Halp.

+Found really cheap Alexander McQueen clothes :D
+Caught up on Venture Bros.
+Car broke down on the way home Monday >.<
+Started wanting to play wow again.
+Go between really wanting to go back to school and really not giving a fuck.
+Going through Guitar Hero/Rockband withdrawal.
+Watched Get Smart the other night. I liked it :D
+Miss Elizabeth something fierce D:
+One day we'll actually play D&D.
+Sometimes my job drives me batshit insane.
+Am hooongry.

Jul. 18th, 2008 08:40 pmis it wrong that i find myself strangely attracted to pete white in this episode?
At werk.
Have run into a problem with entering this pottery into the database.
V. hungry.
Thinking about what to do after I graduate. I can think of so many things I'd want to do. I probably need to go to grad school, actually. My parents have suggested that if I wanted to do something that Vanderbilt offers I could live at home and save a lot of money. That actually wouldn't be too bad, I guess. Get a job and save up. Then when I'm done and have a MA or PhD I could apply for jobs all over the place. I really can't imagine living on my own straight out of college and I really do not have the funds to live somewhere else AND go to school. Now comes the issue of EXTREMELY average grades. Either I need to find something else to do, take some classes to give myself a background in those areas, or I need to do REALLY well in my History classes this next year (yeah, right.), OR I just need to hope that no one applies to the graduate program here/make them think I'm awesome for some reason so they overlook the D and C from last year.
At any rate, I need to start thinking about this for realsies, seeing as applications for next fall are probably due in January.
Anyway...back to work. :D
ETA: Non-fat Caramel Macchiatos taste HORRENDOUS. Up yours, Starbucks.

I'm thirsty as sin and have no change or dollars for the drink machine next door. Piss.
Coping with the end of Who by watching other stuff. Life on Mars is really good. The Sarah Jane Adventures are also surprisingly fun. Also, finding BBC shows that aired 4+ years ago is haaaaard.
Other than that, I'm done with Oceanography, working most of the time, trying to knit a Tom Baker scarf, and hanging out with my mom. I kinda want to go back to school, but not before I've made my mom watch all this crap I've been watching.
( And now to record this long-ass Doctor Who analogy, so Elizabeth and I can remember it later )
That took all of my lunch break. Jesus.

Con was this weekend.
Friday, Elizabeth was Sharon Agathon, I was Kara Thrace, and Becca was Six. Becca got loads of attention. We went to a Doctor Who panel, saw a few people we knew, went to one of Sara's panels, and learned a great deal about chiggers.
Saturday, we dressed Jonathan up as Jack Harkness, Elizabeth was the 10th Doctor, and I was Rose Tyler. Made it to the Torchwood panel and some lovely ladies invited us to watch the latest Who episode with them later. Beth showed up! Watched some 4e games. Did a lot of sitting around and reapplying my mascara and eyeliner. Watched the costume contest (Michael won with a super sweet Assassins Creed outfit). Watched new Who and then geeked out like WOAH with the nice ladies. Found Jonathan watching Magic games. Got booze from Paul and Michael's room party. Wandered into zombie band playing and touched jello brains. Helped Paul drunk dial my mom. More booze. Forgot I had taken all kinds of allergy meds so more booze overloaded my system or whatever. Made an ass of myself to Paul. After that all I really did was throw up (my chest is bruised from leaning against the toilet), and funnily enough, that's all Elizabeth did too (her first drunk, actually), except I was helped by Tycho and Elizabeth found her way to Jonathan. Strawberries. Slept in Tycho's room as he is made of awesome and kindness. Went home.
I think Elizabeth and I were still kinda drunk for part of Sunday, because we just kinda lay there and watched TSE again, Shark Attack 3: Megladon (Barrowman, why?), and a shitton of Torchwood, and just generally geeked out while lamenting not being able to eat anything. We were going to be Donna (with back!teimbeetle) and ...hadn't figured that out for con. I was looking forward to the beetle.
At any rate, wtf con? And wtf, self? Most of all, wtf, rtd?
( tsedoctorwhocrapD: )
Also, on a mostly unrelated note, I think I'm in love with John Barrowman's voice.

So, I got this nice barely worn 3 piece suit at a thrift store thinking it looked v. Doctor-esque, maybe Elizabeth could wear it for hypericon and i could have it for further Doctor costuming ventures. I just now put it all on. I look like I'm amazingly ready to cosplay Ianto Jones. All I need is a coffee cup and a stopwatch. Sorry Dockta.
(Oh, Birfday was good. Hung out with my friends yesterday and it was awesome!<3 Went to fancy restaurant with my parents and got a long island ice tea and fish & chips for dinner. :D)
(Also, I did an art meme. Quality is not so great, but it was fun to do.)

Jun. 22nd, 2008 10:26 amThe next two weeks better be the most epic thing that ever happened.
I just want to sleep until Saturday.

There's this shelf of free stuff in the science and engineering library. I found a brand new pocket watch and chain. It's quite patriotic.
I have research paper on the kraken due Friday and need to have two costumes+props for the weekend. I still need a big box hella bad. Lowes fails in every way.
Have strange yearning to actually watch shark attack 3 (with Elizabeth). Cannot wait for new who. Am devastated that there's no new bsg. Working, learning, exercising, and subsisting off of hope & fandom currently. Feel better all the time, actually. Now if only I could find a place for all the crap in my room.

I'm at work. There's a loooong meeting going on (about furniture) and I'm supposed to lay low and do a very specific task on this computer (changing one word in the data base on like 150 images). Problem is, I'm done with it and now am stuck in a cubicle with nothing to do but recheck my work over and over and listen the Scissor Sisters. Could be worse.
I'm going to DM a 4e D&D game for my friends. I hope I don't super suck or anything.
Um, con is coming up and Elizabeth and I still haven't gotten anything together. We pretty much need EVERYTHING for our colonial fatigues. I need a grey coat of awesomeness. Lowes fails at giving me a tardis-sized box. It's time to get in gear and take my business elsewhere.
Also, fandom, I didn't realize I missed you this much. I'm glad I've come back. :D

"OH NO !!!! FACE IN THE WINDOW!!!!!"
Jun. 4th, 2008 01:30 amOver the course of the last week and a half/two weeks I've watched all of Doctor Who and Torchwood. I feel geeky (oh so geeky), but marathoning sci-fi shows that are new to me is possibly the best escape ever. I've been dorking out with Elizabeth too :D
I got a ton of my hair chopped off.
My Oceanography class just started.
I start work tomorrow.
Elizabeth and I are so moving to Great Britain in a few years and working for the bbc.
Despite the overall day to day mundaneness, I feel better than I have in a long time.
Sleepy time.

May. 25th, 2008 07:55 pmI don't do much these days. I'm mostly waiting to be employed and take my oceanography class. Went to renfest with Ann, Christi, and Za yesterday. Elizabeth and I have been planning con stuff.
I've been marathoning Doctor Who while playing wow for the past few days (David Tennant'shawtsideburns keep getting me killed).
Boy, I'm hungry.
Constantly.
Um, I guess I'll get back to you when I get more interesting (ie never).
Ta!<3

I got home a few days ago. We made the trip in one day, getting home around 3am. I got a new monitor for my computer and it is HUGE (22") and flat. Sarah and I left for Knoxville to be in Charity's wedding on Friday. We did a shitton of decorating and organizing, then stayed up until 4:30 in the morning playing Rockband and this Japanese drum game on the DS. Also, I actually got to see this weeks episode of BSG :D
The wedding itself was actually really cute and nice. Pictures will soon be on the interwebs. Sarah caught to bouquet and was fairly exasperated about it. Sarah and I went to see a few people in Knoxville, which resulted in free beer and cream soda and an amazing pineapple, chicken, and pesto wheat pizza. We talked about a lot of things, mainly how we've kinda turned into completely different people now, which is kind of sad, but something that we just have to accept.
I need to figure out where I'm taking my mom to dinner tonight and start planning out the components of the spartan armor I intend to make. Also, we need better internet up in this bitch like woah.

And so ends the biggest three day stretch of fail I've ever encountered.
At this point I actually don't give a fuck and am more or less done with everything, so whatevs.
I really want to chop off all my hair, but that's not a good idea before the wedding. Maybe after.
