So I know I haven't been writing as much as I used to... Blame that on the internet sucking. Work still stinks. School now involves work again. I might actually have to STUDY next semester. Damn. Back to playing Pokemon! Eff ya!
CTCon is coming up~ Going shopping later with Jen to get our costume supplies!! >D Hellz to the yah.
Why hello~ Are you having a good day today? Me? Well, it's been a jolly good day, thanks!
I'd just like to wish you all a HAPPY DARWIN'S 200th BIRTHDAY~ <3
Did you know scientists believe that lactose tolerance is human kind's newest evolution? Neat, I know. ^__^
Why doesn't UConn get awesome days like this off? We should. Dumb Eastern gets a four day weekend. D: We don't.
The weather the past few days has been AMAZING! It was about 60 yesterday, and in the 50s today~ :D The only sad thing about today's weather was that it was terribly windy...
So. I know that on Saturday I'm going to be a giant blob of tears. It's not my fault though. I'm going to be around a bunch of lovey-dovey people.... And since I'm not going to be able to see Mike, I'm gonna be sad... Therefore, I'm going to watch obscene amounts of Dr. Who, Lost, and Gossip Girl... Maybe read some more of my book. Or play with my present~ :D Yey! DS~
... I just noticed something. The water I'm drinking smells like pool water. o.o I'm almost scared, except I love that smell.
I really don't like how one of the judges on Iron Chef America eats. He doesn't hold his utensils correctly. D<
Tomorrow night, Lyn and I are having a romantical date. Lol. We're really just grabbing dinner, watching the SaTC movie, and going to Late Night. :B Dorks, ftw!
I'm gonna do some Linguistics homework now. Peace out.
