It's my birthday and I'll have tea and pie if I want to. Tea, pie and cookies.

Listening to: ticking clock waiting for my guests to arrive to my tea party.

So my weird dream this morning:

There was this conspirocy that was organized by the philisophers and great scientists and what not to purge the earth (all ala Great Flood style....cept with exploding robots) and The first wave had been done (these big exploding robots popped out of the ground....they smiled and their heads and metalic dreadlocks expanded right before they exploded....all over the world). So while all the people are going "GAH! WTF! Ok we're going to take care of it. Everything'll be ok." the conspiritors had a second wave planned that would destroy pretty much everything. But I was at my parents home and walking around when I suddenly found out I had the ability to fly. So I'm floating around, and I find out that's the metaphorical Noah's Ark that will weed out the population. I find out about that and get all upset and tell my family good bye and then drive down to Baltimore to find Puppy. Everything starts to go boom so I carry Puppy on my back and we float above it all happening down below. The philosophers and what not are floating too and find us and are all "well...since you can fly it means you're pure enough for the new civilization but your friend there has to go." and then there's this big emotional scene with "You can fly! I know you can! *mush mush*" and then Puppy starts to fly and so we're all watching everything go splat down below....

...*whines!* I usually have either seriously f*cked up dreams or dreams that are incredably mundane!! Then again...those can be even worse. Especially the one where I wake up and go through my whole morning routine....and then the alarm clock goes off and I'm left screaming "But I already did this!!!!!"

Listening to: Enya "Caribbean Blue"

*yawns* Back to normalness is a good thing.

I'm going to need to get a baito. I'm running out of money and I'd prefer not to burden my parents further so I'm going to see if I can get a small one. I really only need to make about $60 a week. Even $40 a week would be decent.

My birthday is coming up. I'm rather excited. Though I have to give a presentation that day.

Oh, if any of you are spiritual at all, they brought Puppy's grandfather to the hospital this morning. I'll be very grateful for any prayers/incense/something.

I want a boring life.

Listening to: Ani DiFranco "When I'm Gone"

Guess who's pulling an all nighter on campus~ ME! ME! ME!!

I'll be taking short breaks every hour to keep my brain functioning and I'll probably buy $5 worth of Mountain Dew. If I finish up in enough time to get some sleep I'll walk home.

Things have been so busy I haven't even started the process of getting a new monitor...it's sort of nice not to have that distraction in my room...but my room is distracting even without the internet calling.

I'm about halfway done though. Go Me. Halfway point!

Back to work!

Listening to: Tool "Lateralus" ...thank god for my CD player

Pardon my angst for the moment:
I feel stupid sometimes. I'm in a bad mood now. Bad bad mood. So many things to do...and all I can do is stare at the two sentances on my Word Document cause my brain is going "STFU FOOL!" But I still have so much to do and so little time to do it and the lack of brain power is just making me feel dumb dumb dumb.

I haven't even started my Arabic presentation for due on Friday.

I miss my old mentors. Dixon and Klema. I haven't talked to them in years but I'm not sure what I'd say to them now. I guess I always fear disappointing the people I've always looked up to. I'm making my own decisions on my life and I'm confident in those decisions, but I still worry that the people I care about just won't approve, much less understand.

It's different with equals though...Crystal, my sisters, any of my friends really. But with people I look up to, I worry. People I still look up to.

Maybe I am too hard on myself like some people say...though maybe I'm not hard enough. Bah.

Listening to: Sowell "I Will" on my CD playerness~

Wee~ I'm procrastinating my book report (only for a little bit).

But life is really looking up. Then again it's the getting to be the end of EPP season which automatically puts me in a good mood.

I am experiencing a small problem though. The weather is getting colder...and I left all my winter shoes down at my parent's home. So I'm being a major geek and wearing socks with sandles. Haha. Oh well.

Sarah, Liz, and I are all having a drinking game over the Vice Presidential Debates tonight. Take a word like "Freedom" or "Iraq" or "Terrorist" and take a drink each time someone says it. I think it should be added that everytime Saddam get's confused with Al Qaida (Example: 9-11 being blamed on Saddam), or Edwards is noted for being unexperienced: take a drink. Sounds like fun and I'll make sure to get to bed early anyways. Nothing major due tomorrow (other than that kanji quiz. eeek!). I still have to go to classes but none the less.

*yawns* Ok. Mental note. Don't eat a whole lot right before you have to write a paper cause you'll get incredably sleepy. Weee~

I have nothing else interesting to write. Go me.

Listening to: Asian Kung Fu Generation "Rewrite"

woot! Killer weekend. I saw two shows sooo that means review time!

Dave Matthews Band: the opening acts were Jurassic 5 (which I enjoyed) and Ben something (which was ok. Not my type of music). I liked them though but I thought they were rather underappreciated. But they were still good. DMB themselves though were very good. Very passionate and energetic. Twas fun. We were in the nosebleed section though but still had a very good view.

Ani DiFranco. Another very passionate and energetic show. A different feel for sure though. A Guitar, a Bass, and a hate for Bush. *laughs*

I'm so braindead though. I'm having a braindead day. Maybe I'll write more later. I think I will.

Listening to: "Love Will Come Through" on my happy CD player

Compaq. You Suck.

Ok. I was having trouble with my monitor a couple weeks into getting my new machine Den. Sent it back. Got a new one. My sister who got the same machine, her screen broke too. Sent it back and got a new one.

Quess what broke yesterday. The replacement monitor I got from them to replace the shit one they sent me in the first place.

...Compaq. You suck.

I'm going to be really busy for the next couple days. Lots of work to do. I'll try and find time for everything.

Got to get to class now even. But yeah for campus computers!

Listening to: Poe "Hey Pretty"

Hmm...I wanna say stuff but I don't know what...

My Kanji quiz yesterday I rocked at mucho butt on it. *happy*

My two new friends up here are tea fans. Which makes me also very happy cause I can start to have tea parties. I love discussing things over tea. Erin's a freshman (yes yes. One more Erin to add into my life. Though she likes to go by "Rin") who lives with her older sister. Chika-san is a student from Singapore who's only going to be here for a semester =( But they're both really nice and they both like TEA!!!

I love having discussions over tea. I do.

I've been more and more easily tired. It's rather frustrating. I mean, I can still function and what not. Of course I can. But everything tires me out.

I love learning Arabic. It's really comfortable to write in. I think it's a really lovely language. =)

I still really like the Garden State soundtrack. I just love the feeling in the movie and the music.

Listening to: Coldplay "Don't Panic"

So I saw Edwards speak yesterday. It felt like something out of Harold and Kumar go to White Castle....cept it included this MASSIVE Sheetz instead, and no pot. We were all expecting Doogie Howser to pop up at some point.

I got to shake Edward's hand which was cool, but probably irresponsible since I have a cold.

But we ended up driving totally out of our way because of a detour that didn't exist. They sent us South instead of North till we're like "....wtf. We're in Somerset!!!"

*yawns* So I'm a sleepy Lily with homework to do.

Listening to: Zero 7 "In the Waiting Line"

Just saw Garden State and guess what that means....review time.

Ok. There's a reason why it gets such good reviews....is because it's good.

It's just really wonderful. It's a really great feel good movie. I dunno...fucked up people who find out they're not alone and find some peace. Learning how to live. Learning that to feel pain you feel pleasure too. Perfection doesn't exist, but beautiful wonderful things still do.

So yeah. See Garden State.

That's all I have to say on that.

Listening to: Miyavi "Girls Be Ambitious"

omg. It's a new layout.

Reasons for it taking so long:
Easily distracted.
Too lazy to learn Gimp.
I liked the last one.
Lack of HTML program so I coded it straight.
Did I mention easily distracted.

Either way. Tada~!

Listening to: Ben Folds Five "Rockin the Suburbs"
