Okay, so I finally broke down and "joined" twitter. I put joined in quotes, because I don't relaly think I'll be using it, but we'll see!

Here I am: http://twitter.com/braveperogative

OMG. How long has it been? Days, weeks, no months. Month's right? Geez. I feel like a million things have happened. Let's see. We got a new car...the old one finally died, and that was stressful as hell, but everything worked out. Our new baby is a 2009 Kia Rio in tropical red, which I still say is just a redish-orange, but whatever. Maybe I'll post some pictures soon.

What else? Oh, genesis, IUPUI's literary magazine. I've been working on it this semester and it was released last Thursday. We also had a meeting of other college editors and a meeting of professional editors on Friday the 13th and both of those went well.

And classes. Classes have been taking up mucho time this semester. FYI, for anyone who is wondering, political analysis is HARD, HARD, HARD!!!

I think that's about it for the real world stuff. We're going to NYC on Dec 18 to visit Jonathon and Ruthie and little Ruthie and the baby, who is due the 8th....they are naming him Jonathon Jr. Don't ask me why, I had no say in the matter. LOL. They are going to be Jonathon and little Jonathon and Ruthie and little Ruthie. God love 'em.

Okay, so now for not real world stuff....

( fangirl stuff.  )

It's been a while and I don't really have time to make a 'real' post now, but I just wanted to say, "I finally have a new chapter of TRLT posted!!" What has it been, years now? Though--points for me--I've posted since Loke has. Love you Loke, but I gotta make fun. You know me.

Anyway, yeah, TRLT is up here.

Guess what? Guess what? Guess what?

I's gonna be an auntie. Yup, dat's right. Ruthie (Jonathon's, my big-big brother, girlfriend) is pregnant. Everyone keeps asking if they are gonna get married and I don't know, I honestly don't really care, I'm just excited. He's gonna be such a good father. I mean seriously, out of all of my mother's children, he'll make the best parent.

She's due Dec. 9, though who knows whether or not that will change considering how early it is in the pregnancy right now...but still. LOL. Have I mentioned I'm going to be an aunt...? So cool.

Okay, so I am supposed to be doing homework right now, and I sort of am, but I just took a time-out to play around and found this. Loke, since you and I have been talking about Riddick, Vin, and Vin's totally adorable obsession with D&D lately, I thought I'd post this. Okay...now that I've taken that little bit of time out of study...back to work I go!

ETA: Okay, this one is pretty funny too. Though I am starting to hope that maybe, possibly Dollhouse is getting better. LOL.

Okay, so I have two classes tommorow (Editing and US Foreign Policy) and then I finally get my damn Spring break and I gotta say that there are no words in English, Spanish, French or any other damn language to express my utter joy. One full week. No homework (well, a little homework), not getting up at six in the morning, no classes....just rest. Joyous, joyous rest.  *does happy dance*

On another note: what the hell is up with GH? I mean not so much the show, which is actually sort of entertaining to me right now, but all of the backstage shit. Has it just been a while since I've actually read spoilers and rumors or is this shit worse than its ever been? I'm constantly bouncing between thinking it's all BS (because it usually is) and thinking that we're reaching the ending of GH's run. I mean good lord, this stuff is crazy.

OMG guys, I haven't seen GH since Monday's show. I've missed Jason and Rebecca scenes and all that good stuff...I don't wanna get my hopes up, but I finally have a day off of homework and I will be watching Tuesday through Friday's GH's. Woot-woot. LOL.

So, I finished a paper (US foreign policy and the Israel-Palestine Conflict) at about 2:56 and it was due at 3:00. That was after marking up a manuscript for my Copy-Editing exam. I need rest. Badly.

I'm feeling a little bit better about the funds that will soon by making their way out of my account and into Westview hospital's, but I'm still not exactly happy about it. I've been doing the look on the brightside stuff....It's sort of working. For example, the bright side is that I only had me $500 deductible and 20% to pay...it could have been the whole damn bill. See. Bright side.

Oh, Loke, I finally found (well, finally looked for) bigger pics of Jason and Rebecca...if you haven't found any yet, they are HERE. Have fun, I know I will be. I guess Sonny (or SEm, God luv them) is still good from something...or I guess that would be S&Em fans. :)

Okay, gonna go now. Mom should be here to pick me up soon. I'm trying to keep up with LJ more lately though...during the school year I have a tendency to forget about it.

BTW, I am going to be exanimate today. I do not know what that means, but the little face looks about how I feel...so that should do.

Okay, so I am having a really crappy day...week, maybe month. I got that stupid cyst removed over winter break and at the time I was thinking it would cost like $150 or $200-$300 at the most,  you know. Well, now I'm up to over a thousand. Why is that? Why is it that when I actually get to the point where I can save a little money something like this happens? I mean damn, I just gave my mom like $400 to help get the car fixed a few weeks ago,  you'd think that would have put some good karma out into the world and this shit wouldn't be blowing back on me. But no. I swear to God, I'm just gonna start being a bitch about everything...that seems to work for everyone else.

OMG. I'm watching yesterday's GH and I literally just giggled like a school girl at Jason missing Rebecca at the hospital. I was a little worried they wouldn't hint at Emily and Jason's relationship and now I've gone and rewinded it like five times now. OMG. That's it, I'm gonna go work on Identity (the r-r-remix) now, I need something to hold me over.

*giggles like a maniac*

Riddle me this: Why is Emily's picture suddenly missing from Jason's mantle? Has anyone else noticed this? I am watching today's show (1/16) and Michael's picture is there, but it looks like Emily's isn't....

Oh, oh, oh..Nikolas just said that it was Emily's birthday!! Oh my! 

Oh, also, Maxie and Jason from yesterday, sooo hilarious!

Okay, ladies. Chapter 26 of TRLT has been uploaded. I've been puting in a lot of work on my reworked version of Identity and I hope to have the first chapter up before I start classes on Monday. I've got a pretty good outline for it and I'm really trying to make this one waaay less complicated than TRLT, so I'm working out most of the big suprises in the first couple of chapters and then letting the rest be about dealing with those suprises and Jason/Nadia (BTW, that is not!Emily's name. Nadia Rebecca Karpov, hint-hint!) dealing with their feelings for each other. I think I'm gonna run an outlne by you guys at some point, but I want to continuing working on it a little first.

So ready TRLT, enjoy, and review! :) :) *huggles*

OMG! OMG! OMG! Guys, it's for real! It's for real! I mean there are pictures and everything...oh, oh and high heeled boots and leather jackets. My God!!! I can't, I shouldn't let myself get so damn happy about this but....EEEEE!!! *breathes*

(This is sick, really. My birthday is in nine days and I am happier about Natty coming back to GH than I am about that...so sad. I am sure in a few days there will be a rant post to follow this one up with me saying how they've ruined my vision of bringing her back.)

Natty's Back!

Hey, coolness, I just found out I can download Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 from IUPUI's IUware online for free. Now I'm gonna have a million new toys to play with during my winter break. There's gonna be new books to read, a new fic to work on (and TRLT to finish) and Photoshop...Hmmm, this could be bad.   :)

Okay, now I need to go finish working on my final paper for my Politics of Islam class. It's due on Sunday, but I'm getting my cyst removed tomorrow and I don't know if I'll be able to type afterwards. Also, my grandma's 75th birthday party is Saturday. *shhhhh* It's a surprise!

Wow, that's pretty close. Not exactly exciting or anything...but mostly true. :)


Okay now onto the true reason for this post:

( They keep thiefing my ideas! )
