Blog Change

I don't want to make my blog private because i know someone who reads it that isn't a xanga member, and i'd like that person to still have access.  However, I don't want someone else reading my blog.  Thus, I have created a new blog.  If you're a friend who I still keep in contact with via xanga, you have already received a subscription add from my new account, but you can always ask me for the name of it if you're not sure it's me.

And if said person that I don't want reading my blog is trying to find my new one: I did not use any variation of the word "slinky" in my username.  Good luck.

I voted!

And if you didn't, I will punch you in the face if I ever hear you bitching about how the election turns out.

It's now November, and I haven't heard anything from CBS, so I'm gonna go ahead and assume that I didn't make it into the Writer Mentoring Program.  Oh well.  Forcing me to at least try makes me feel slightly accomplished, and added something to my writing.

I've got my schedule for next quarter pretty much down.  I have 1st registration, so i'm guarunteed all the classes I sign up for, but spring quarter i have last registration.  My strategy is to do my remaining (2) GEs winter quarter, leaving only my 400 lvl english classes for spring, which I'm pretty much guarunteed anyways. So I'm (re)taking Biopsych (the one i got a 69.9% and therefore NC in before) and prolly intro to women's studies or sociology of religion, and advanced fiction writing.  I might be doing my senior project in fiction writing.  for my major, this just means that the story i write will have to be like 20 pages long and it will forever remain in the Cal Poly library.  And it's something i have to do before i graduate anyways.  I heart my major.

Halloween wasn't as awesome as it should have been.  The people I was hanging out with were flakey and whiney bitches... I'm not sure what they were expecting in going downtown on a holiday on a friday.  It's like when people go to a movie expecting it kick all other movies in the history of movies asses, and then it's only good, and so they're disappointed.  The bars were good, not spectacular, and therefore not good enough.  Oiy.  Also, I don't like it when people ask me for advice and then blatantly ignore it.  If you don't respect my opinion, don't bother me with your bitching in the first place.

Also, red wine is not meant to be had cold.  FYI.

So does Brett still haunt you guys?  I know it's only been two months since he died, but it feels like i should be over it by now, and I'm not.  He still shows up in my dreams and pops into my head outta nowhere.  I actually cried about him the other night, which I haven't done since August (okay... maybe early sept).  Still haven't written that poem for him... I wonder if he's just buggin me until i do that.  He would.

John's been really flakey lately and it's starting to get on my nerves.  He didn't come to our Halloween party because he thought it was this weekend instead of last weekend.  He said he'd come this weekend anyways to make up for it, but somehow got scheduled to work on friday and saturday.  My firefly rpg has four players including him,which is a good number, but three is pretty crappy.  So I either have to find someone else to play in two days as planned or wait another week to get started.  I was really looking forward to getting this thing off the ground, too.  Oh well, it's not like Kevin or Will have even seen an episode of the show yet anyways.

It's the 6th week of the quarter and i'm starting to get lazy.  i'm not skipping my english class, the one with all the reading to keep up with and the actually enforced attendance policy.  I'm even going to astronomy because i don't wanna fail it again.  but i find myself ditching french a lot and studying on my own time.  means i'm doing very well with the grammar and spelling, but super shitty pronounciation.  but were we expecting otherwise?  Non (that means "no").

Halloween plans:  trick-or-treating from 6-8, stopping by the cinco house party for a lil, but not staying because we do house parties every weekend and i can't handle scary movies anyways.  Then we're going downtown to the bars (but i'll be changing out of my dr. horrible costume before that, cuz a) don't want anything spilt on on and b) it'll be freaking HOT in a crowded bar with people dancing).  Saturday my plans seem to just include hanging out with Jeff and working from 5-10. I might chill with amy cuz her art party got cancelled.

I've been able to see Pravin about once a week for the past two months, and its gotten me a little spoiled.  I don't think i'll be seeing him for a while now, but not sure... we're planning a disneyland trip for our 5 year (shut up) anniversary.  I think it'll be fun to go with just one other person.  I've only ever been with family and for my birthday (which was awesome, but somewhat difficult because of the large number of people).

I was hoping the next time I posted I'd be able to put up a link to a youtube vid of my head shaving.  But.  Basically I'm having difficulty getting the files off the camera and onto a computer, getting a computer that works and has editing software, and getting the people who've promised to help me put this together to actually sit down and do it with me.  So yeah... prolly at least another week away before any kind of video.  My mom still doesn't know that I've shaved my head.

My Dr. Horrible costume was super last minute (as expected... sigh), but ended up awesome.  I also made pravin a mega man costume, which was adorable.  Pics on facebook soon.

I'm ready to start my firefly rpg.  just waiting for confirmations from people who are playing, and then we can set a date to start.  I don't even have the whole plot thought out, but I do have a good 2-3 hours of gameplay.

My brothers, stepdad and I are going to have an intervention for my mom in about 3 weeks.  I know I haven't been able to keep you guys updated on that situation, but part of it is that I didn't even know the half of it until about a week ago myself.  I won't put up details here, cuz something seems tacky about delving into my family gossip on a publicly accessible blog, so if you're concerned ask me about it.  Fun family weekend, ho!
