08:25 pm - My battery is low, so you know. We're going to a place nearby, gotta go! I've had this laptop for about two years I think, and I just now realized that the reason why my battery life sucks so badly -- as in, shuts off within five minutes bad -- is because you're not supposed to have the battery clipped to it when you're powering the laptop through the plug. I'm pretty ticked off at myself. I hope I still have warranty so I can get a new battery for free because UGH I can't believe I killed this one because of a negligent mistake. Anyway, update on my reading endeavor, if anyone cares. 2009 In-Progress Reading List: 3 of 52 books so far 01) Chekhov: The Major Plays, Jean-Claude Van Itaille - Done! 02) The Best American Short Stories 2008, ed. Salman Rushdie - Done! 03) Tell Me, Kim Addonizio - Done! 04) Here, Bullet, Brian Turner - Started 02-01 Still behind by one book, but I've picked up another poetry volume. Should go by quicker.

08:39 pm - Lolololol has no life lololololol I keep refreshing the Paradisa Letter Meme and checking my post. Clearly this is an indicator I am lacking what is called a proper life. Anyway, new year, back from California, back to school. Still weird this is my last semester. And scary, but I rant about that too much as it is. Made some little resolutions of sorts. Sis got me into hooping to get fit, since I'm too lazy to be a gym rat and playing hula hoop for half an hour few days a week is much more fun. I need to try out some tricks. Made a promise to get decent at it by summer. Also trying to read a book for every week of the year. For a writing major who wants to do this sort of thing for her life...I don't read enough at all. I'm on my second book, so I'm kind of behind on that goal, but blah. It'll be done by the end of this week. 2009 In-Progress Reading List (Edited 01-25, 10:25 PM) 01) Chekhov: The Major Plays, Jean-Claude Van Itaille - Done! 02) The Best American Short Stories 2008, ed. Salman Rushdie - Done! 03) Tell Me, Kim Addonizio - To start tomorrow 01-26 Dude. I need food.

11:04 pm - It's kind of depressing me this'll be the second to last time I make one of these lists You know how CAPSLOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL? I'm realizing that Shinobu (seasonofsamurai) is my cruise control for cussing. See, I can't say or often even type curse words myself unless I'm quoting someone else because lol I'm a language pansy, but as long as I'm playing a character I can at least type Very Bad Words like nothing. It's lamely therapeutic being able to throw F- and S-bombs just so. Bah. Remembered I should write this out so I don't forget all the crap I have to do for end of semester. Finals Week To-Do List: WRI 250: Poetry I 01) Two missing poems 02) Ten best poems into two portfolios ENG 257: Contemporary Novel 03) Atonement (ha ha, way overdue much?) 04) Research paper (*DIES*) 05) Atonement/The Guru of Love essay exam (*turns into stone*) WRI 325: Writing for Broadcast News 06) "What I learned in this class" essay 07) Final project package revision In general so I don't fail at life 08) FIND A FECKING INTERNSHIP (*turns into dust and blows away*) The English class stuff is what's mainly freaking me out. That paper is due this Friday, and I still don't have a topic to write about, orz. It's also the only class I have an exam for, but essay exams are the worst for me. Suck face. And I'm feeling like Easy Mac right now. Whoot for microwaveable macaroni and cheese.

12:13 am - Ashi's willpower 0, Internet's distractions 100 Why did app_this_plz have to come up now? Roleplay needn't distract me from college any more than it already does, especially when I have a million hyperbolic assignments due this week. Which I pretty much say every week probably, but I do have lots on my plate at the moment. Instead, I'm commenting on people's RP character/fandom want requests kinda sorta possibly maybe promising to consider -- definition of consider being doing more than just, "Oh, I like this character from that fandom. So that must mean I'd like to RP them someday!" -- apping characters from (in no particular order): 01) No More Heroes (Shinobu) 02) Teen Titans (Starfire except she's taken in that game, so...Raven? Not Robin because I love him too much to blemish with my meagre RP skizzles) 03) Gintama (probably Shinpachi because he's the normal guy and I fail at random humor, maybe Otae or Sacchan? Or Sakamoto because he's a loveable doof I deceive myself into believing I could pull off) 04) New X-Men (Surge, Wind Dancer? Tag? I <3 Prodigy, but I'm not smart enough ever to play him) 05) Rockman XZ/Advent (Ashe definitely, threw Atlas and Thetis into the possibilities list) 06) Reaper (Ben, Sam) I...didn't realize I'd thought about RPing that many series? It did reaffirm my belief that I only RP series or characters I'm near 100% confident I know or are obscure enough for people not to know, though. Of course, no one's replied to my comment with possible characters they'd play for my fandoms/games. Might be because KIBA's a ridiculously small RP fandom I can count all the series RPers I've seen with one hand, and orochiagenda probably has a bad rap for supposedly being a wanky, horrendously OOC, incestuous Uchiha orgy of an RP. Which is exactly why we need more other characters, people! :O I need more RP friends so I don't feel like I'm spamming my Friends List with pretendy fun games they don't care about. But that would involve getting into bigger, scarier, faster games I don't think I could handle well. Ah wells.

04:23 pm - It's still weird not having your little sister around Hey all. You know what's something really fun you can do today? WATCH REAPER. Finals week, bugger. I'm so unmotivated to get anything done, but that's how it always is with finals, isn't it? Should start ordering my books for summer soon too. Lately I haven't had any memorable or quirky dreams to remember. But last night I dreamed that Rick Gonzales said he was leaving Reaper and I cried. In the dream. Not in real life. Because that would make me a giant wuss. I would make up one of those fake dream interpretation quizzes for this one except I'm sapped of any creativity whatsoever and all it "means" is that I'm obsessed with Reaper. And Ben. Har har. Time for semester to-do lists again, whoo: ENG 361: Fiction Writing II 01) Writing portfolio with two final story drafts ENG 453: Postmodernism 02) Essay on Angela Carter's Nights at the Circus 03) Essays/presentations portfolio with personal reflections on postmodernism COM 380: Culture, Society, and Computing Technology 04) Essay/project examining a running theme in films viewed in class COM 280: Digital Imaging 05) Two tween animations 06) Photoshop projects digital portfolio Current Mood: sleepy Tags: dreams, fangirlism, finals of doom, reaper, to do lists that don't get done

10:22 pm - Finals can kiss my-- I want to talk about Reaper so bad right now but I have way too much work to do for tomorrow I've already put off too much. That show has been a treat to watch the past few eps. I'm going to miss it when it hiatuses for The OC. Ew for melodramatic teen dramas. Yay for witty slacker dramedies. ( Oh frick. I've no self control. But these will just be blurbs. ) This week and the next is going to suck. December 13 needs to get here sooner. Finals Week To-Do List: WRI 210: Writing as a Means of Self-Discovery 01) Journal 02) Creative writing project COM 323: Frontiers of Communication 03) Research paper 04) Meeting with prof about research paper COM 328: Digital Rhetorics 05) Journal 06) Peer review sheets 07) Reflection paper COM 261: World Cinema 08) Take-home essay Holy fark that's more than I thought I needed to get done. Frick on a brick with a stick. Where is Adam Sandler's Click remote when I need it? Because it exists and all. It's just a really well-kept secret.

10:44 pm - Ah-hahahaha FRICK YEAH. ( What Naruto yaoi pairing are you? ) I hate end of the semester crunch time. It always sneaks up on you when you don't realize it, and then you're screaming and crying because of consecutive nervous breakdowns. Right now, I think I'm in the "don't realize it" stage, and soon all that work's going to bite me in the butt, and I'll want to shoot myself to save me all the work and toil. Within the next and next-next weeks I still have to: 01) Finish writing A. two poems B. my dag-awful short story I ripped off from my OOC!Sakura C. the journal entries I'm missing, which are many, ugh 02) Write my Scrubs research report 03) Make my Intro to SIM final film *kills self* 04) Read Skim through a 446-page history book 05) Not kill myself 06) Not distract myself with dorky online quizzes Right now I'm most worried about my final film, not so much because the task itself seems daunting, but...I have zilch social skills whatsoever so getting people to help me with or be in my movie is going to be awkward and weird and painful and man I fail at human interaction in general. X.x;; As much as I love Scrubs, I have to take a position about it on my paper and argue it. I suck at writing argumentative papers. A lot. I suck at arguing period, so this isn't going to be any better. That history book makes me want to die, and as usual my writing muse deserted me. Joy. I wish I had that magic remote in Click so I could fast-forward myself past all this junk. That would be super awesome.

02:24 am - Spriiiiiiiiiiing break! Even though it came earlier than I'd usually like, I'm so happy I'm on spring break because I felt like I was going to burn out if I had to go to class anymore. At some point my family from New York's coming down, so we'll probably see them sometime. I don't know if we have any established plans for the week but that's okay because not going to school is a good enough break for me. Blarugh, but there's still so much homework to do. Dude profs, what's the point of a spring break if you're going to make us work. Kinda defeats the purpose, no? Ah well, hopefully I won't procrastinate too much and actually get it done on time. Dad, Sis, and I have been buying stuff for the house, namely storage and ceiling fans. Yeay for proper central lighting. The little lamp on my nightstand wasn't cutting it. Little by little I've been cleaning up my room and sorting things out to put in the bins we bought for our rooms because they're such junkyards. Walking through my room was like playing that little kid's game "Don't step on the crack, or you'll fall and break you mother's back" because I had so much crap strewn all over the floor. Tripping was not an uncommon occurence. ( Spring Break--or just general/not actually too important--To-Do List ) OMG no freaking way I ACTUALLY FOUND THE SNOWKEL "BYE-BYE X HELLO" SINGLE! No one probably cares, but you have no idea how happy this is making me. Snowkel media is so hard to come by unless they do singles for anime and nobody was uploading their latest single anywhere, but I finally found it and I am such a happy little groupie listening to it on repeat and waiting excitedly for their April single to come out that again I'll have to go on a scavenger hunt for because no one loves Snowkel enough to put up downloads. Yeay for three-piece, nerdy glasses band love! <3: I want to start a Snowkel LJ com, except I'm terrible at maintaining things and there are like seven other Snowkel fans on LJ. Aww.

09:25 pm - Whoo, bring out that sparkling grape juice! Yes, I'm one of those prude losers who's waiting till she's legal to drink.  Which is actually not too far from now, when I think about it... Happy New Year! Hmm, I really don't have much to say here.  I just feel like I should to start off the new year, hopefully on a good foot forward.  Just out of curiosity, what Chinese New Year is it supposed to be this time around?  I have no idea why I'm so curious about that. Ha ha, highly doubt I'll keep them, but I guess it's good to have some goals.  Motivation's good for the soul, or something.  I don't know, it's just good.  *fails at being philosophical* New Year's Resolutions: 1) Clean my room, because it hasn't for months and it's disgusting 2) Read more so I can pretend I'm cultured for leisure and to learn new things, I guess 3) Write more, like creative or school paper stuff.  Journal entries don't count All I can think of for now, but yeah.  Have a great 2007! Nishimura Shinya-kun the first avatar of the new year?  Hooot. Current Mood: contemplative Tags: new year, nishimura shinya is my lovah, to do lists that don't get done
