Long time no post.
First I'd like to say I have renewed hope about health care reform and reaching accross the aisle and all that jazz, though a lot of the Repubs looked like a bunch of assholes throughout the whole address.

In the last month I've procrastinated on my paper a lot. You know the one I need to write and then I'll be done with college? The one I should just do and it'll be over? That one. I was starting to work on it...

Then last week Mike, Nate, and Trevor showed up in Nashville. It was excellent.
Nate and Trevor stayed here and mostly usurped my computers to play games, though they did an awesome amount of yard work for my mom and fixed our knocked down fence. Even put a gate in it. Fed a duck around about two dozen Canada Geese in the park. Played lava monster tag in Dragon park.
Mike decided to stay here instead of at Sarah and Caitlin's when Nate and Trevor's friend Abby came down. Mike and I took her around a bunch of places. Then we hunted for the Orange Box and ended up spending much of the rest of the week playing video games. It was a lot like college in the video games/not going outside/lying in piles/eating large burgers way...which is the part I miss a lot. Trevor and I played Portal until 5am, taking waaay too long to beat it. TF2 was nearly everything I wanted it to be.
I sadly missed Katie's shindig, which reports tell me was somewhere from "awesomest evar" to "a roller coaster of fun and not fun".

I've been kinda bummed out since those kids left. Pretty sure my second least favorite thing is saying goodbye to college people (least favorite thing still being throwing up). I'm now powering through my paper so I have nothing preventing me from doing whatever comes up, whether it's going to Texas or killing copious amounts of time visiting people in Chicago and Madison or going on an urban renewal program in Europe.
The research is about done. Writing starts tomorrow. It will be done by Friday night.

Further updates to follow.

I'm working on a belated birthday card for Jonathan and I have to pee.

Um. Let's see. I went to Boston weekend before last and hung out with my cousins, my aunt, and my mom. It was a lot of fun and nice to be far away from campus. For Halloween this weekend I played golf with those other kids, which was a lot of fun as well. I was rule 63 Tony Stark. I made an arc reactor. My hair is (temporarily) black). Pictures from Boston and Halloween are here.
I'm going to need to buckle down and start doing some work soon, but all I want to do is talk about comics and edit people's fanfiction. I keep coming back to the fact that I kinda majored in the wrong field. Bbbbbbut, Beloit probably would have killed my love for whatever I would have majored in besides History, so there's no winning. Durr. I can't even really bring myself to pick out classes for next semester, the selection is too desolate and depressing.

Going to go read these prospectuses and then get back to the funtimes.

...the meeting I thought was tomorrow was apparently TODAY AT 4.
I. Fail. At. College.
I'm simply mortified. I seriously need to get my fucking act together. Dear Lord.
