Have some pictures from spring break.
Here's a rough overview--
Friday: Clare, Paul, Myself to Chicago. Watchmen (not as bad as I was expecting. the opening credits are awesome).

Saturday: American Science and Surplus (soviet military belt and uniform buttons). Fun times with Paul's home friends.

Sunday: Pick Mike up from Beloit. More fun times with Paul's home friends.

Monday: More fun times. Retrieve Nate.

Tuesday: Straight drive to Nashville with a brief stop in Kentucky. Karaoke at the Springwater with Sarah, Caitlin, Christi, Elizabeth, and Kevin (briefly).

Wednesday: Met Sarah's boyfriend finally. Poked around Hillboro Village and Vanderbilt. Waffle House. Watching things.

Thursday: Straight to St. Louis. Clare's basset hound with a cone over her head is so adorable and sad. Sci-fi lounge.

Friday: City. Museum. Epic. Win. Battlestar. Consulting the Middle-Earth map. More Waffle House. More City Museum.

Saturady: Visit Sarah's Mom. Leave Clare in St. Louis. Back to Paul's with a brief stop at Jason's in Bloomington. Enemy at the Gates.

Sunday: American Science and Surplus again. Back to Beloit. Good trip.

St. Paddy's was good. Being intoxicated for class and then being fed beer and donuts upon arriving there is awesome and a recipe for an excellent day. Happy hour was nuts. Car bombs, beer, and whiskey sours. Woo hoo.

Weekend has been pretty and overall relaxing. Helped carry scrap metal and then make a very tasty stew. Watched some Trigun. Killed myself, Mike, and a random NPC in Shadowrun, then Bill and Matthew moved to Texas.

Finally, BSG. ( Clare and I made a Galactica shaped cake. )
I thought Doomsday was bad, Rose and the Doctor ain't got shit on Adama and Laura. I actually had to bite my lip to keep from losing my shit in front of the seven people I was watching the finale with. There were things I really liked, and a couple things I didn't, but overall everyone got their fitting ends except for Lee. Poor poor Lee Adama. Everyone you've ever loved has left you, maybe it's your atrocious hair.

Now, back to freaking out about everything and listening to Death Cab.

Things have been good, but now I'm in this weird funk that has been brought on by a variety of things, mostly lack of sleep and worry. I suppose that's what I get for being up until 6am looking at photoshop phriday.

Been living in the Whitney 3rd lounge more or less. We built a fort, but security made us take it down twice and wrote us up. Lame. Then this morning we had to disassemble the nest we created out of mattresses and blankets so the carpets could be cleaned. That was sad. Watched a lot of Firefly, Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, and Event Horizon, among other things. Nate and I have matching camo coveralls. Have taken massive amounts of photographs. Progress on the comic has been small, and we planned on doing a lot tonight, but Mike's playing with photoshop, Nate's napping, and we have no idea where Maggie is, so the odds may be against us once more.

It's been nice to not have to worry about doing work (except the comic). I'm still coughing, although I think I'm not sick any more, which is highly annoying. I may go drink some juice.

I felt like I had more to say, but I just feel so weird and upset that I've forgotten. Uhg. I need to get out of this state of mind soon. I've been doing so well this semester it'd be a shame to go all psycho depressed now. I fail.

I will now attempt to cover all of break as well as the unnecessarily exciting afternoon/evening I have just had.

Saturday: Went to airport @ ungodly hour w/ Abby, Maya, and Robert. Went home. Saw my parents. Was sad about my seriously ill dog. Sarah came and picked me up and we drove around for a while before deciding to just go back to my house and she spent the night.

Sunday: Sarah left for St. Louis. Hung out with my mom. Watched the Oscars. Complained.

Monday: Did stuff with my parents...? I don't really remember at all.

Tuesday: Went to the park in the afternoon to see Kevin, Blake, Nate, BJ, Chris, Chris's roommate, Alex, Caitlin, and Reid! Went with the latter three to Flashback and everyone at the park called us eight billion times to ask us where we went. Stole Nate's car and drove it around the park listening to Journey loudly. Went to Great Escape. Bought Han Solo pin. Met up with Katie. Went to Taco Bell. Went home.

Wednesday: Drove for 2 hours to my grandparent's house. Found awesome dress in Winchester that did not fit me. Was v. sad. Project Runway=Daniel did not win. T__T

Thursday: Drove 2 hours home. Told random semi-emogoth chick in McDonalds that I liked her Trigun sweatshirt and made her happy. Watched Boondock Saints and Mystery Men.

Friday: Ran errands with my mom. Went to Christi's kick ass party fo Reid. So much debauchery and Guitar Hero. Sarah made lots of Brokeback Mountain jokes in reference to the two of us. She also impersonated Michelle Williams (as she really looks like her a lot) drunk at an Oscar after party. "Keria Knightly. Have I ever told you how British you are!?" Roadtripped with Alex!!!!!!...and Kevin. People were uber drunk. A little bit of vomiting. It was amazing.

Saturday: Brunch at ihop. Lots of honey mustard sauce. Hung out at Christi's watched beginning and end of Howl's Moving Castle as I was kidnapped half way through by Sarah. Flew kites. Said bye to people, made me sad.

Sunday: Came back to Beloit. Ran into Abby, Chris, Maya, and Channing on the bus (yay!). Room wasis messy. Sally is gone. Walked to La Casa Grande with Ben, Nina, and Maya. Ate good food. Walked back in pouring rain w/little bit of lightning. It was quite the adventure. Planned to go to Chapin, but it was so scary outside as it was constantly lightning and there was thunder. Finally sucked it up and ran to Whitney, then to Aldrich, and used the tunnel. At one point the tornado sirens went off and we all thought we should go down to the basement and were uber confused because they went off and the RA said security hadn't called him....so we hung out in Chris and Ian's room for a while after the whole tornado-scare. It's nice to be back.

Soooo, I stole some pictures from Christi's facebook as mine will not be ready for a while.

( Yes. )
