feeling: hot and clammy and tired
listening to: Utena - Rekishi Bourou [Moji Sabaku] (Historical Watchtower [Desert of Letters])
First hot day we've had in a while. Maybe the second 80-degrees-or-close-to-it day of the year. Broiling right now. Best part is, not 5 days before this, we had highs in the 30s, nasty wintery cold rain, and the threat of snow. Arg.
It's not a Becky blog if there's no Ohio Spring rant. :P
So on Friday I turned in my application to graduate, at long last, right? And then today I realized that I turned it in with a mistake. It shouldn't matter, or the head of the committee should be able to recognize it and fix it or whatever with no problem, but this is another of those situations where I reinstate my life's motto: if anything can go wrong, it will. Watch that one little misplaced number keep me from graduating after all this crap I've already been through to get this far.
I don't want to think about that right now. -_-
Played Sims Unleashed today for the first time in months and months. Actually made some progress with two of my families in an afternoon. Maintained lots of friendships, made some money, and Kara Lee got a body skill point, which takes forEVER in her case because she's pretty high in her career already, and she and her roomie got a cat. Calico. Named... Kessie. Don't ask me where Kessie came from, I don't know.
So sometime within the next two days I need to read a chapter for linguistics; write a 3-page paper with no solid topic and read a selection for EALL; do God knows how much reading and research for my case country (might help if I actually had a case country) and a problem set including two data-loaded graphs for international studies. Really not all that much, especially when you consider that I had well over a week to do it all in and have already wasted it down to one to two days (the ling and EALL stuff by Monday, the rest by Tuesday). I also need to write a little note before I go to bed to include with the money order I'm sending away to order BLOOD's 1st Period Best CD. Heh, last night I sat here and spent most of the night creating this cute, dork little stationery to write the note on. Like, the head of chibi-me sits in the top right corner, pointing cheerfully to the statement "If you don't have stationery, make your own!" in Japanese. Then there's a big looping swirling dotted line that crosses over to the other side of the page, tracked by little comments like "Pencils are good" (cause it's done in pencil), a music note, and "This is taking a while," all in Japanese... ending at a little shot of chibi-me lying on the ground being bullwhipped by a giant sentient clock. The dotted line then begins again, staggering to the bottom right corner tracked by "Ouch..." written in Japanese, and ending at the very battered, black-eyed, dissheveled chibi-me pointing to the Japanese text "...and when you don't have time, just give up and sleep" while the giant clock stands in the background, flailing and screaming in Japanese (Osaka-ben, no less XD), "It's past 3 a.m.! Give it up!!" It's so dorky. I love it. Must have dad scan it and email me the file before he puts it in the mail.
Osaka-ben, by the way, means the dialect spoken/heard in Osaka. BLOOD originates in Osaka. :P Osaka-ben is a blast. "Ahoyade!" "Nandeyanen?!" "'Chau-chau chau?' 'Chau! Chau-chau chau n chau!'" *collapse*
I started listening to my monster playlist again. 709 songs and swelling. With my recent J-rock obsession I haven't listened to most of this stuff in months and months. Geez... Matsu Takako, Ranma themes, Mitsunaga Ryouta, sooo much Utena... I have every Utena song there is, from all 8 soundtracks. >.> Where has all this old reliable stuff been hiding? *headbangs, sways, and wiggles foot to the b34ts*
I'm dead tired. I shouldn't be. Managed to sleep until 1 this afternoon, and thus I've barely been awake for 14 hours. 16 is an average day. Could be worse... I could be entering hour 19 or something, for the nteenth day in a row. Kinda like these past 2 or 3 weeks.
...Freaking graduation application mistake won't stop stomping all over my brain. Why can't anything just go right for once in my life? If I miss my graduation after all the agony of the past 2+ years, someone is NOT going to survive the commencement ceremony.
You know what I realized in recent weeks? I like my blog. It's a good blog. Well, compared to my posts from 2+ years ago, at least. It's got some intriguing content in just the right combination with random worthless dear diary crap that no one cares about. If I were a random blog user surfing random blogs for some late-night romps in other people's personal lives, I would pay attention to this blog. And apparently someone agreed, since it's got its own Google search result now. I'm getting traffic. :p
Everyone who reads this entry, I order you to leave a comment! I don't mind if you prefer to keep your identity from me... heck, sign as iluvpr0n696969 if you want, I don't care. I just want to know how many people see this. And if the comment count stays at 0, y'all will be hearing from me. So no hiding. >:P
