Today has been productive!

First off, German quiz. German verbal quiz. Considering I'm getting panic attacks over that class, a verbal quiz when I hadn't studied nearly enough was basically The End for me.

And then something amazing happened.

The professor called on me and gave me an irregular verb to conjugate.

I blurted something out.

And it was right.

I... I don't know how my brain did that but I am forever grateful. Full credit. I did it, somehow.

Then it was off to the student health clinic to fill out lots and lots of paperwork so I can get all my happy medications that keep me alive and kind of functioning for free. It's looking good that I'll be able to to get all of them. This is such a huge burden off me you don't even know. I still don't know where I'm going to come up with $800 for school on short notice but for now I'm trying not to stress about that. I have some options. I'll probably end up taking out a small loan through my bank. It'll be okay.

Then I sat around for a long, long time waiting to get jabbed by needles, since I'm in the high-risk category for H1N1 and the seasonal flu. Being jabbed with needles is now complete, and I am vaccinated! No flu for me.

For having a total meltdown yesterday, I'm doing surprisingly okay today. Right now I'm waiting for American Dream to officially open [they were nice enough to let me in before they opened so I wouldn't have to stand in the rain] because after two intramuscular shots I goddamn deserve some pizza and beer.

Today I am dressed in a bizarre combination of Alex Mercer, Nero, and cat-hat.

About three people on my friends-list will get this. But you needed to know.

Oh my god there has got to be a better way to do that.

STILL.

KISS MY ASS, ELIZABETH GREENE.

[Edit: Spoilers on how to handle the Mother fight from Prototype in comments, watch out!]

I got my flat tire fixed today, finally. It had picked up a screw, and the guys at our local Les Schwab fixed it for $12.50.

Which I didn't pay, because the (very nice) guy was so busy staring at my renaissance outfit that he forgot to ask for me to pay the fee and I was so out of it I didn't even think of it until I was back on campus.

... But I'm a decent person, so I'll give them a call and tell them I'll drop in and pay it.

In less great news, I need all my tires replaced. Soon. That'll be about $400 I don't have.

/aughs

Sooooo hungry.

Jesus CHRIST it's cold. It's 10:30, weather, you can go above 40 F anytime now. It's supposed to be in the fifties! I'm not dressed for freezing fog.

*huddles into her hoodie and loudly freezes*

On the bright side, I lived through German and my Geology homework is almost done. Plus I trekked down to my deli and got free a free [if kind of crappy, because our coffee is] mocha. Mmm, employee benefits.

/goes to make another

Ugh hugh blah sicccccccccccccck.

AT LEAST IT'S NOT H1N1, YES?

Between the medicines, the migraines, and the epilepsy, it's a miracle I can manage school at all.

F-list.

Guess what I did today.

I parallel parked.

... most unexciting update ever, I know. but it's a big deal to me.

To make this more interesting, I got my drivers license on 06-06-06. My father, who always claimed he would move out of the state when I got my driver's license, is laughing somewhere.

No, seriously, I'm not making that date up.

I swear I am going to punch somebody.

Late to the party as always, but have a meme!

The minor character meme: Give me one or more of my characters and one minor character in their lives (i.e. their mother, their father, their first crush, their crazy neighbor lady, etc. etc.), and I'll tell you 5 facts AND who I'd use as a PB for said minor character.

Sorry that this isn't cut, lj isn't letting me for some reason.

FFVIII:

Squall Leonhart
Seifer Almasy
Zell Dincht mach_kick

Prototype:

Dana Mercer not_fuckin_hera

Devil May Cry:

Vergil AU dei_irati
Emperor!Vergil imperium_maius
AU Nero [Atellus] cavallo_pallido
Nero [incarnation] not_beatrice

So I might have had a dream last night where Alex Mercer was giving me frightening looks and not-so-veiled threats because I couldn't parallel park.

I've got to stop playing video games right before bed.

Comment with one of my characters, and I will tell you about their pajamas, bedtime rituals, and anything else I can think of related to their sleeping habits.

( Character list )

Me: *getting pizza for lunch in celebration of first day of school* Ooooooh, they have a new beer on special. Why not.

Beer: *has alcohol content like whoa*

Me: Wow, the world is... pretty.

In other words, I am in excellent shape to start my seminar class. You know. The one that requires lots of talking.

School's been okay so far. Geology seems interesting. German's going to be hell, as usual. I need sleep like whoa.

Oh god I started running again whyyyyyyy. I keep telling myself that the zombies will come eventually, and then I will appreciate being in good shape.

Okay, f-list, I need your help.

My mother wants to get me a simple laptop.  Not even a laptop, just a portable computer that lets you word process and connect to the internet. I can't remember what they're called, but I'm fairly sure they run from $250-$400. If you have any idea what I'm talking about, because god knows I don't, leave a comment with what you know.

A shoutout for araphen , who now legally can buy most types of bullets!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM YOUR BAD INFLUENCE. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Jackhammering.

At seven AM.

I am going to shoot somebody.

Adding considerably to my wrath is the fact that my mother is leaving for three days today. Sounds fine, right? Well, it WOULD be if our microwave hadn't stopped working this morning.

*grumps*

Edit: Feel free to spam me for the alphabet drabble meme, loves. No way I'll get all of them filled in if you don't. I'll finish the ones I have tonight. &hearts

So I uh might have accidentally got a job as a lingerie model.

*puts face in hands*

So I only got a couple hours of sleep, because we ran out of one of my medications and I'm totally dependent on them to sleep. Finally, a couple of hours ago, I managed to grab at least a little sleep.

And then apparently the Institute of Extremely Loud Crashing Noises decided it was VITALLY IMPORTANT to make some outside my window. At eight AM. They've been going on for the last forty-five minutes.

I am not pleased.

No fair to make other people write for me and then not do it myself!

The Alphabet Drabble Meme

Below is a listing of the alphabet. Please comment with a letter of your choice (that has yet to be chosen), a word that starts with that letter, and a character or pairing. I will then attempt to write a blurb of some sort from the word and pairing you choose.

CHOOSE MORE THAN ONE IF YOU WANT.

( If you should go, you should I know I am here )

If you don't know who/what I'll write, feel free to request anyway and I'll tell you. Heck, I'll even try with things I'm not familiar with, though you'll probably get something like, say, Ezio and Altair arguing about lollipops. To demonstrate a fandom I don't know. ♥

Today was kind of stupidly amazing. I went to The Enchanted Forest, a theme park that's really aimed at kids 6-12. It's very... quaint, with all sorts of things built according to fairy tales and children's rhymes. There's a couple of roller coasters, (well, one is a log flume if you really wanna nitpick) but they're not exactly big and scary, since the place is for kids.

Or it was until you get a group of three people that know all the original, unsanitized versions of the stories.

Best moments, in no particular order:

- Epic Shoe Picture (I will upload it later. It is of my shoe. And epic.)

- The following exchange, which I am absolutely not making up:

Us: *coming out of Alice In Wonderland tunnel where you have to get down on your hands and knees*
Little Girl: Daddy, those are grown-ups!
Father: *looks at us* No they're not, honey.

-Lyndsay screaming "DUCK BLADDERS!" in my ear during the Ice Mountain Roller coaster

Annnnd now I am exhausted.

I don't have work today!

To celebrate, I will be doing completely useless things. And working on Secret Project (tm).

It's 88 degrees. In September. A few days ago it was barely breaking sixty and raining. Our weather is whacked.

This entry really is utterly pointless except to show off this icon.
