feeling: damp
listening to: Whose Line's on
I hate rain. When it's raining, all I can think about is the rain. Especially when I'm out in it. All I can think about is how wet stuff is getting, how wet I'm getting, and how dreary and gray everything is. If I'm inside it's not so bad, as long as I stay away from windows and/or keep the curtains shut, and keep myself busy. But it's still never as bright indoors as it should be when it's not raining. Rain sucks.
And for the first time in 2 years... I actually WANT to stay on campus tonight. But I can't. >< Well, theoretically I could, of course... but... stuff to take care of. More stuff I need to get from home, obligation to attend church since I'm only about a month away from perfect attendance and if I lose it now my mom will be... uh, not pleased... and such. Mostly because I need to get more stuff from home. And also because weekends are my only chance of seeing my nephew. He likes me, dangit. Mom says he misses me. XP Not to mention that he makes me happier than most other things on this planet... it's amazing how therapeutic it is just making a little baby laugh. Anyway... my big reason, besides that, is to bring back more stuff from home. Like a working hair dryer. Mine crapped out on me Wednesday. -_- Just when I was starting to think I, for the first time, wouldn't mind showering every single day. Yeah, that's what I said. :p Cause the last 2 years I showered in the mornings instead of afternoons (like now, since I have to get up too early as it is) and it was a pain competing for the only decent shower on the 9th floor... but no one else ever takes showers in the afternoons, so I have no problem getting the best shower, which has such ridiculously high water pressure, I've cut about 15 minutes from my average shower time. XP
Yeah, I'm done talking about my shower life now.
Reasons why I want to stay on campus, ignoring the reasons why I can't:
~I like my single.
~I have homework I need a good computer for. Dad's computer sucks.
~My Playstation and most of my anime are here, and I don't feel like lugging them back and forth on weekends... but without them there's really not much to do on Saturdays at home.
~Tonight's the first OSU anime club showing of the year, and among other things, they're showing Jungle Emperor Leo. I've been wanting to see that for nearly 2 years. It's the really old 70s anime that everyone says Disney stole their Lion King plot from.
Anyway... it was kinda funny. Both yesterday and the day before - the first two days of classes - I was stopped in between Japanese lecture and Philosophy by newbies asking directions to the Central Classroom building. I thought everyone knew where that was. It's the friggin' main campus bookstore. :P Also, every day of the week except Friday, I have to make ridiculously long hikes between the two previously mentioned classes. The first day, I was actually a couple minutes late, and yesterday I was just barely on time. And they allow 12 minutes between class periods to avoid that kind of lateness. u_u
In other news, I finally saw Lord of the Rings yesterday. At last I'm a human! >:3 Er, my thoughts? It was good. I liked it muchly. But it wasn't the greatest thing to grace the silver screen in the past decade or anything. It definitely got me interested early on, and kept me interested, which few movies have done consistently lately. But it felt... rushed. I've never read the book series, but I could tell, especially in the last half or so, that they were just trying to throw in what they could while they could, and it just ended up feeling like they didn't quite manage to sqeeze in as much as the original story allowed. Legolas, for example. Legolas... disappointed me. ;_; From all I've heard, he was supposed to be a fangirl's dream *snicker*... but... he just looked like another cocky, self-serving kid with pretty hair and weird lips to me. And he had, like, NO role in the movie. It could've told its story perfectly well without him. *sigh*
Frodo Baggins, however, was absolutely adorable. ^u^ *musses his hair* And I can honestly say that seeing how compressed this movie felt made me want to read the books even more than I wanted to before.
