Oct. 31st, 2006 11:51 pmHappy Halloween. Well, all ten minutes left of it. :p
I've had more mood swings in the past several days than I usually do when I'm on my period. (Which I'm not.) I was at a high on Friday, which took a nosedive on Saturday, and since then it's been up and down. Right now I'm a mix of happy/awed at Really Good Fic, and really down because I can't just crawl into my computer and live there and ignore school.
I miss working this summer. When I was, I missed school, since I didn't exactly have the most exciting job and in the past I've always enjoyed the challenge the school brings, but work rarely left me feeling like I was dancing on quicksand. Too, the separation between work and free time was very distinct; when I was on the clock, I worked, and when I wasn't, I could do whatever I wanted. I didn't have to worry about assignments intruding into my time at home.
I never thought I'd be so eager to join the working world.
I can't help but think of Linda and her leave of absence. Dunno if it's a good thing for me to think about--maybe the only way I can beat this malaise is by tackling it head-on, not hoping it will go away if I do something else.
It's just as well that I'm seeing a counselor. *sigh*

Jul. 13th, 2006 11:38 pmThe house next door was broken into. I came home from donating blood today, and there were three police cars parked on the street. Two policemen came and asked us if we noticed anyone strange earlier today, but I didn't.
Erk. *conspicuously locks doors*
eta: And dammit, I want that navigation bar thingy at the top of my LJ to go away. How do I do that?

Jul. 10th, 2006 03:40 amThere is a BLOODY HUGE SPIDER somewhere in my room and I don't know where it went. *wibbles*
I was reading when this huge spider--half as big as my thumb, if not bigger--appeared above my dresser. I stared and wibbled for a moment, then went to get a cup and paper to trap it and take it outside. Except then it ran away from me and went behind my bed, only when I looked I couldn't find it there so now I think it's under my bed and I don't want the BLOODY HUGE SPIDER UNDER MY BED.
Normally I don't mind spiders. Several months ago there was one on the wall in the hall of my dorm and half the floor--including the guys--stayed away from it so I was the one who trapped it and took it outside. I just don't want them lurking.
*shudders*

Apr. 9th, 2006 11:11 pmSky, ground, and sun. There's a connection there, but I can never think of what it's called, and it keeps bugging me. There is a name for that connection, isn't there? It's not quite "elemental", but it has to be something...except I can't bloody think of it! Do any of you know what it's called?
I should be getting KH2 tomorrow. Except that I have so much work to do that I can't, in any conscience, start playing it right away, because I know how I am with new video games, and I'll just completely ignore everything (even the internet) until I beat it. Considering I'm already having problems doing all my work, I shouldn't compound it with a new distraction. Even if I hear all these good things about it that keep getting me excited...
I don't understand how boredom exists. There's too much to do!
