Tomorrow I drive off into the wilds of Maine. I am less than excited about it right now. And by wilds of Maine, I mean..... almost-Canada Maine. Like... 6 hours alone in my car full of field gear Maine. fmlllll.

Not to mention that the low tide here is at 6:30am, and I need to hit it to finish up some stuff. PLUS I need to make like half my new dispensers, including another trip to the bunker.... alone... on the weekend. *shiver* And oh yeah, after all that... THEN I get to drive to Maine. And I can feel the impending breakdown already. I'm still sore from last week's field work and I almost cried like three times in the 2.5 hours it took me to get from West Hartford to my apartment tonight.

And to top it all off... NO INTERNET UNTIL WEDNESDAY NIGHT. D: D: D: omg. Since I don't know if there is internet at the Darling Center cabins, I am not bringing my laptop. I think I'm already starting to feel the withdrawl. I have a car charger for my phone... so when we're back in service range I can at least check twitter on my phone. (haha I sound totally crazy) I'm also bringing like 4 books for the 3 days I'll be gone so I will be kept at the maximum level of distraction. :|

10 more days till Adam.... 10 more days till Adam... *sob*

SRSLY GUYS. JUST. SRSLY.

There may have to be f-locked freaking out later, assuming I don't get lazy. Just... life.

I haven't updated in ages and I've been barely keeping up with my f-list. :( It makes me sad. Last week after my apartment hunting, I was having serious issues with technology. And it just made my days SUCK. As I said over on Mene, "not even Kris Allen singing about prostitutes is making me feel better". I have switched to Chrome for my browser since then because I realized that it's just Firefox taking up too many resources. I can actually watch YouTube videos now without feeling like the world is stuttering. And I can see multiple gifs! The one thing I hate most about it though... is the lack of a twitter plug-in. I didn't realize how much I pay attention to Twitter until I didn't have that little pop-up box in the corner!

BUT THE IMPORTANT NEWS! OMG MY APARTMENT APPLICATION WAS APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!1
I don't have to live in a box. :D I just need to sign the lease and get roommate's half of the deposit money. This place... has the most AMAZING kitchen. AMAZINGGGG. All new appliances. Huge! SHINY! I am so excited. Although I will have to get used to the gas stove. Oh god now I need to plan moving though. D:

Otherwise, nothing of note has happened. Mene is consuming my time lately since we've picked up the advertising so there is a tonn more activity. Plus the event is happening. I just let the music loop and let myself stay in the happy place. :D

My sister's bday was Saturday. It was a huge clusterfuck of a night and I feel so awful for her. I'm not even gonna bother trying to explain.

In other news. Adam Lambert is still amazing and I might pass out from sheer joy at the concert on Sunday. ZQ needs to walk more.. or do more photoshoots or something.. Um. Yea. Hi.

*points to title* Leaving tomorrow. Have to be out of the house by 10. Getting on ferry at 4. Spending some time doing.. something between then. Woo. My arms are all itchy I'm pretty sure I managed to get some poison ivy on myself or something, it itches. Also I managed to get sunburned on the last beach day. Go figure.

I can't wait to be on my own laptop again. Imageshack got haxored by some anti-sec movement and a bunch of the images in my random-sig for Mene were affected. So now I need to re-upload everything elsewhere. *shakes fist*

There was a ZQ walking post today. There is a new hat. Yes, this is noteworthy news. Don't question it.

OMG. So I was walking on the beach today and I had a though. Tengen Toppa Gurren.. Merlin? I was definitely walking along thinking about who would be which character. I got Arthur = Simon. Merlin = Nia... but then I got stuck. Crack.. it's all crack. idk.

OMG WRITING. SOMEONE TELL ME TO NOT SIGN UP FOR ANYTHING ELSE.

( writing reminders for me, feel free to ignore )

Went to see Star Trek for the third time this afternoon. It was totally worth it even though I sat there by myself and felt a little pathetic. At least until I got into the theatre and there were at least 2 other people there alone. *happy sigh* And it was $6.50 because it's that theatre in Simsbury that no one ever goes to so they have cheap tickets. Woohoo.

Taking a break this entry to finish this backlog of memes I keep meaning to do. Since after that I have to upload another handful of images to my photobucket and then post them here.

First: this video made me laugh today. There are movie spoilers though.. so caution with that.

"I've got my Vulcan army of five right here Mr. Kirk" *rofl*

TEN DISNEY SONGS MEME!!!

Hahahaha... I was totally going to make a real post last night, but then I spent an hour uploading pictures to photobucket and making a caps-filled picspam. ilu fandom, really. <3 You make my life so much more entertaining.

Ah where do I even start, this is going to turn into a mushed up topic post I think.

First: Today's I FOUND IT ON THE INTERNETS

Exhibit 1:

THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING POKEMON SKIT EVER. NOTHING WILL EVER TOP IT IN MY EYES

Exhibit 2:

Awesome-ly terrifying prose! Two pages of metaphorical character description that is supposed to be appealling but really just.. missed the mark. If you scroll into the comments, there are links to actual attempts at physical depiction and the results are terrifying. It basically made me lol for a good 10 minutes when I got the link.

So... what have I been up to?

Last night Phil was like, let's hang out. So Susana, him and I all went for pizza followed by STAR TREK. I'd been waiting till I could go with my dad since he's a closet fan (he totally gets the DVDs and then watches them alone at night in the basement). But with work he was like, I dunno when we can go. Ahh it was good! I mean, I only have a marginal sense of the fandom and the main characters... but even with just that I was proud that I recognized the major players. Plus y'know.. space is pretty. So now I need to make sure I still take my dad because I think he will really enjoy it.

Today was just work.. and OH BOY. Apparently we have a new system for the front desk and it makes... zero sense. Instead of having someone to greet and take names, we are supposed to stand *in front* of the desk and just ~know~ where the available tables are. Naturally this is only when we are not on a wait.. but it is just so disorganized. And I feel bad cuz we can't balance the tables out for the servers if we don't have access to the computer screen. I'm pretty sure we're all hoping that if it ends up failing a lot, then they will say that we should go back to the other way. Silly work always having to try and change things.

I would say more, but my stomach just went "Hi there crazy person who hasn't eaten anything all day. FEED ME". I should ptobably listen to it.

..for porn

And now for tonight's edition of "I found it on the internets!"

First I laughed. Then I was confused. Then I spent 10 minutes clicking "older entries".
Once again proving that you can find pretty much anything if you look hard enough.

The person who posted it was busy raging about how stupid people are. I was too busy laughing at the entire situation. Sometimes people can be stupid in ways that aren't destructive or horrifying... and in those cases, laughter is the only answer!

Google trends are fascinating and I would love to know what causes them.

I am feeling a bit frazzled, likely due to it being 2am now.

Thanks to Robin I now have the new Lacuna Coil CD. I have never been a HUGE fan of theirs in the past. Saw them live at Ozzfest when System and Disturbed were there. I'm not sure why they never clicked as I adore Nightwish, but I suspect it had something to do with their instrumentals more than anything. However the album is quite excellent! Especially "Wide Awake". I love it when I find good music!

FIRST.

Made me lol so hard. And it's likely that anyone on my flist who clicks on that will understand it. Just.. the facial expressions... ah god.

Anyway. Apparently my last entry ended on a creepy note? Clearly the result of "it's 1am let's talk about emotional, angst-filled fic that is also very well written to the point where I was feeling with the characters, therefore making it both painful to go along with as well as amazing because of the awesome writing". And clearly the only way to re-explain myself is to wait until 1am after a long day and start writing. >.>;; Let it not be said that I make awesome plans ever. Point being... rambling about fic was not meant to be creepy. I don't revel in inflicting pain on myself. End of story.

side note: Dear Mom, being interrupted to be sent on a mad (and ultimately futile) quest for sunscreen that I remember owning but not where I left it is not cool at 1am.

Work continues to be good.
Cosplay reference picture hunting is a pain in the ass. *sigh*

Also an important note that I will ramble about tomorrow once I've read up on the issue.

AMAZONFAIL. Google it. Search it on Twitter. Go to meta_writer on LJ. Amazon has messed up pretty bad this time around. I'm keen to see how they end up dealing with this. Expect more coherent post on the subject tomorrow.

Oh my Christ I am so hungry. I was at work (which I was almost late for) and I felt like I was going to pass out from lack of sugar. I had to snag a server to get me some soda before I just passed out behind the desk. I slept like shit last night. Dozed off, woke up 45 min later and could not get to sleep for a solid HOUR. That's just not cool. *sigh* And then it was oil change time and they took forever. Hopefully dinner is soon.

So I've been hearing about Dreamwidth lately and I am intrigued. It has cross-posting functionality with LJ so I am definitely interested in getting on board with that. Just need an invite code.... *pokes around*

I love it when I tell people to enjoy their meal after showing them to their table.. and they say "you too". There's this expression of "wtf I'm an idiot" that briefly graces the face of the other person when they realize what has just happened. Ah good times.

I was totally going to catch up on House tonight.. or watch that ep of Robin Hood and make my reaction post. And then after dinner my mom wanted me to dye her hair.. and she wanted it done soon.. so I didn't start anything. Except then half an hour later she finally called me to go get it done. And then it was nearly 10 and I was trying to finish up my modding on Menewsha instead. And now it is 11 and I don't know what I want to do. *fails*

I don't know what it is but I want more of it.

First off:
http://twitter.com/fiarra

I gave in. =X

Currently everything from just above the knees and down is a line of pain. It's ok when I'm sitting, but the second I try to walk anywhere it feels like my knees are just going to give out. The past three nights of work have not been kind to me. So glad I'm not working Mon/Tues. And lots of lunch shifts this coming week so it'll be easier.

Had a very awkward moment at work on Saturday. A couple comes in... I walk with them to their table.

Her: You look familiar did you go to UCONN?
Me: Yup! I graduated in '07. When did you graduate?
Her: '08. No wonder I thought I recognized you.
Me: *affirmative noise* Here is your table!
Her: Wait, did you know Jacob?
Me: ..Marcek?
Her: Yea.
Me: ...I dated him for a year... That's so funny that you know him!! *big cheesy smile* Enjoy your meal.

lol I have no idea who she is as I did not recognize her at all. *sigh* Life.

Also Janet came in today!! Whee. T_T Sorry I didn't say hi right off, I was like 90% sure it was you, but then I was all quiet instead. *lame* I really liked your shoes btw. xDD

Still having sleep issues. Last night I was exhausted... stayed up reading a bit till I felt like I was going to pass out. And then it still took me nearly an hour to sleep! And then even when I did, I woke up several times before passing out for good sometime around dawn. =| Not cool.
