:)

Today has been amazing.

Well, not all of it. The doctors were a bit frustrating.

But lets see...I was waiting for d'Arquoia to arrive for the photoshoot, and Allen and Evan walked by. :) I got to talk with them for about five minutes before they had to go get ready for their other class. Then Oscar walked by, and I talked to him about advanced music.

Then d'Arquoia came over and I got paid to take pictures. Awesome!

Then at work I'm kinda stonewalled from progressing on the honors website, so I've been working on the audeamus one. Which is awesome, cause it's sarcastic. And I've been working on it pretty closely with AJ, so that's always entertaining

And then Allen and I had a lunch date. In beautiful weather. With hamburgers.

I'm so happy right now.

random moments

*My journalism professor used the term "blogosphere" today in complete and total sincerity.

*I hate hate hate PDFs.

*I started a new movie. Well, I started outlining it. It's fun to outline, especially cause it's fantasy and one I had thought up years ago but never really put to paper besides an awkward first five pages of it in novel format. But I love the characters.

*I worked out today. My abs hurt. So do my shoulders and arms.

*Alexa and Randy are now officially a couple. And apparently Randy is the "Lyn" of the relationship, as determined by the cast of servant of two masters. Which I only know a few of them. Which is utterly bizarre. Allen said he talks about me a lot to them, which is nice, but still very odd.

*I started playing Resident Evil 5. I like it, but it makes my hands really tired.

*Tomorrow I get to take pictures! Lots and Lots of pictures! So happy.

*twitter is oddly fun....

*Yeah.

Me and my Knife

I've been having bad nightmares for a long time now.  And most of them have involved someone stalking me.

So after a week straight of that, I got fed up....and bought a knife.  

She's a Kershaw Scallion with a damascus blade.    And it's really freaking useful.

Despite the natural idea of self defense, it's also come in handy with cutting open soda packages, cutting off strings on my clothing, and cutting off tags.  Yay.  

But, even the day I bought it, I was grateful I had it with me.  While at Mena's party, Evan wasn't having a good time, so I had to drive him home.  When coming back my close parking space was gone, and I had to park 4 blocks away and walk back alone.  In Mena's housing complex there are a few frat houses.

Some frat boys were outside leaning against their beat up pile of scrap car, smoking.  As I walked by, the one wearing the black cap yelled out "WHORE!"  His friends cackled, then one started moving towards me.   

I snapped out my blade; I doubt they saw.  Either way, the moving one just got lazy and went back to leaning against his car.

Eventful times. Ish.

So.  This week.

Monday:  Had to turn in my screenplay.  Yay.  That went moderately well.  It was Allen's workshop day, and it was probably the harshest and most spot on workshop I've attended.  So I'm a wee bit frightened to see how mine is going to pan out.

Tuesday:  So, when walking to class, I notice that there's no newspaper.  Which is pretty sad, cause I like to read it while I'm on my way to journalism.  Once I get to class, one of my classmates hands me a paper, and I read this:  http://media.www.highlandernews.org/media/storage/paper1400/news/2009/04/21/News/It.Happened.One.Flight-3717759.shtml 

So that's already a pretty interesting story.  But as I got out of Journalism, Caitlin, the editor and chief comes running up to me, saying that 2000 copies of the newspaper were stolen.  On the day a controversial article came out...during election week.   Yeah.

Wednesday:  Bad day.  Had to transcribe links all day.  Then was surprised by Russian hackers and by great dane/lab mixes.  Have a small spat up with Allen.  Had to write an essay.  

And now I've written the essay.  And I'm exhausted.

DnD character

So, as you probably know, I play DnD. I currently have a level 4 (almost level 5!) Tiefling Warlock. And it is awesome.

I want to play that game more.

I think I'm gonna go write the character's backstory. I was going to do that here, but only the character who knew my character's past can know it, and other members of my DnD group are on here. Oops.

OMG MUSIC!

Check this out.  Best surprise on a reality show EVER!!

Another work story

So, as you know, there is a lot of alcohol in my office. That's the basis for this story.

Anyways, I go to get my bagel out of the fridge, and I notice something weird. Namely, the security camera set up pointing directly at the TOP of the fridge...

...where they had hidden the handle of vodka for a long time.

So, apparently, it's not vodka in there. It's been water this entire time. But the level in the bottle keeps on going down. So someone in the office has been drinking the tap water, believing it to be vodka this entire time.

So they had set up the camera to trick to see who has been trying (and failing) to get drunk on company time.
