gip

also, i got tired of that picture of shakira, so i switched to arwen as default. and now i'm getting very sleepy. hey, look, for once all of my icons aren't girls.

yeah, yeah. the favorite lines thing, only... not really.

a few favorite passages, one for each genre:

( i don't have absolute favorites, of course. )

so i have my oral exam in two hours. i need to eat lunch and take a shower. and i got up late this morning, which was a brilliant idea, no? it looked cold outside so i wore a sweatshirt and a longsleeved shirt, and then it was really, really warm. and i've been sitting here twenty minutes making an icon when i have all this studying to do... something seriously screwy has happened to my priorities. my roommate is taking her bf to see "they might be giants" in concert in a few days for his birthday. i must admit this is v/ cute.

in an email from my daddy:

Now I'm working on a sort of ghost story about an evil Appalachian wizard
who transfers his consciousness to a giant ambulatory mushroom. I admit it's
a little improbable, but I'm having fun with it.

o_O???

*snicker*

gip... again... *coughcough*

michael whelan ass-kicking alien woman from the cover of cj cherryh's fantabulous invader in the foreigner universe. am deliriously in love with this series.

las calles están mojadas y parece que llovió; son lágrimas de una niña por el amor que dejó

so, i have a linguistics experiment to finish, two papers to write and greek to study for. i arrived at 1:40 for a 1:35 oral exam due to disagreement between her clock and mine, so i had to wait fifteen minutes. then the final was supposed to be three minutes, but i didn't talk slowly enough and it was barely two, counting the chatting i did after all with sensei (this is the cute teaching assistant that i've decided not to lick after all, btw).

which meant i arrived back after the caf. closed, so no icecream. instead i took a shower and now i haven't gotten dressed yet, which i really probably should...

it's such a pretty day. there were half-naked students on the quad playing frisbee to the sound of "mrs robinson" and "house of the rising sun." i had no mail when i went to check, and i got all sweaty because i woke up late this morning and put on warm clothes because it was so cold last night, and only discovered outside that it was in the... huh, low 70s, upper 60s? no, probably mid to upper 60s. anyway. *yawn.* i need to talk to wax like i need... oh... um... something that i don't need, but really want. chocolate, perhaps. anti-depressants.

*FUMEFUME*

i just lost about HALF the music on my hard drive.

why?

i tried to delete one folder--which had NOTHING in it but "i'll never stop" by nsync and one of those disco remixes of "bye bye bye"--and it said, "this folder is too large to fit in the recycle bin; do you wish to delete it permanently?" um, ok. said yes. (that was the stupid part). and it proceeded to delete almost the whole directory of music that i got by copying cds to the hard drive (as opposed to downloading)--i'm left with a few britney albums, a bit of shakira, coco lee, for some reason... not even ten albums. WHY? i didn't do ANYTHING *whimper* and i didn't HAVE a hard copy of nelly furtado. i'm going to be downloading all afternoon now!

and if you won't let me go

alright, i got an email forward from my aunt that sort of bothered me. ok, well, i have no objection to beefcake as such, even though most of the time it doesn't particularly interest me (as i find such large bulky muscles offputting, and vastly prefer slender pretty boys like lij and orli). it's--not precisely homophobia, maybe, so much as... heterosexual-centrism (not that that's a word). but anything this gender-specific about sexual attraction bothers me. note how it not only assumes women will be interested but also that men won't.

hmpf.

( email fwd joke )

heeeee.
