 Neverwhere
Neil Gaiman

Unlike my LiveJournal, which mostly consists of general and unlocked fandom-related posts, I've been friend-locking most of my entries in this GJ. That's because the entries are either directed at people I know or talk about my personal life. I don't really have too many issues sharing the latter, but my non-fandom time is usually spent dealing with my severe depression and anxiety, so I doubt that's a very appealing sort of subject anyway.
Anyway, this journal is officially friends-only as of this date. If you'd like to add me despite these warnings, feel free to comment on this post.

I saw bunches of people yesterday: Amanda and Sam (who were sweet enough to give me my Christmas presents); Miggi (who has adorable new gloves/scarf/hat); Rach and Brandon (who are always too nice to me), and Anna banana (who is sexiness incarnate). I also got to talk to Crystal, which was wonderful as always! (And I suppose it goes without saying that Danielle was there for some of it.)
We watched My Super Ex-Girlfriend last night, which, surprisingly, I enjoyed. Maybe it was just because I was in a wonderful mood yesterday, but that movie was actually pretty darn cute. I thought it would be completely lame, and it was lame, but in an adorable type way.
And now, I'm going to be distracted by Guitar Hero II. Holy crap, this game's addictive.
(PS: I have decided that this is my favorite icon ever. I can't stop using it.)

I voted today, and I hope you guys did, too. It doesn't look like most of my candidates are going to win, and the issues I voted on are a bit dodgy at the moment, but I'll see later how that goes.
NaNo goes ever on and on. Heh, that makes it sound like I don't like it. My goal tonight is to get up to 20,000 words before I go to sleep. Woo hoo.

I'm at home after a fun day/night with Anna and Miguel. Of course, I wasn't much fun because I'm being all mopey and junk, but hey, such is life, especially with me.
In other less whiny and less frequent news, later today is that exalted day that is known in this country as 'Election Day'. The past two times I voted, I was excited; I was trying to get Bush out in 2004 and trying to elect my mom to the Board of Regents in this year's primary. Okay, so neither happened, but I at least had some enthusiasm about the process. This year? Not so much. The mudslinging and complete lack of likeable candidates just gets me down, you know? I think I'll be more depressed if the Republicans win for the most part, but I can't say I'll be happy if the Democrats take power. Maybe it's because I'm super mopey lately, but I think that's only part of it in this instance.
And now I know that if I keep talking, I'm going to get super duper emo, so I guess this is where I cut off this entry.

Thank goodness for back-ups.
Today, yes, I am going to Reno, and I'm spending the night with Danielle. Wacky hijinks will ensue, such as probably both of us working on our NaNo stories and me doing some homework. Woo. We always have the wildest parties. (But, you know, if people are free, I'm sure she wouldn't object to any random visits. Ahem.)
Man, I wish I could sleep. Sleep would be swell. Sigh.

I spent yet another night at the wonderful Rach's place with Rach and Miggi. I love spending time with them; it's so much better than sitting home alone most nights. It's still weird to be at someone else's place when I have class that day, but it's not like they're early classes, and it's not like I'm in high school. Still, tonight is a home night; when there's new Supernatural on, there's no place I'd rather be. (We did watch Supernatural here since Rach has my big sister's DVDs. I heart that show so much.)
In a few, I'll probably continue my NaNo story. It's a bit tough working on it in three different places when you only have the Internet connecting you (oh, poor baby), but I've managed thusfar, and I think I'm doing pretty well, actually. I just hope I can keep it up.
Anna's back in town today! I'm really looking forward to seeing her again. ♥

"Lick It" -- God-Des and She |
] |
I drank about one liter of Diet Cherry Coke today. Seriously, I'm super addicted to this stuff, although I wish it tasted like it does when I get it at Denny's. Oh well, no reason to quibble!
NaNoWriMo is going well thus far. I've written nearly twice what I have to in a day, so I'm good, but I still want to get to 10,000 before I go to bed. I doubt it's going to happen, but it's a very fun goal to have, so I'm going to push myself once I get home from class. I don't have a completed chapter yet; I have the beginnings of two, but when I finish chapter one, a couple communities are going to be updated with them. If you get to read them, you already know where to read them, but if not, sorry, I'm paranoid. (Of course, if you know me in person, it's likely I'll let you read it anyway.)
I've noticed that I tend to be in a better mood when I'm highly caffeinated. It's been taking a lot more to get me to that point lately, but I've been depending on it lately. Oh, caffeine, how would I live without you?

I'm not truly breaking my online hiatus quite yet; I'm going to catch up on my reading and commenting later. But yeah, I've had my time off and I think I'm pretty good now. I really did need a breather from being online.
So why am I posting if I can't devote time to catching up? I just got home from seeing The Prestige, which is SO INSANELY GOOD that I couldn't wait to talk about it. I got excited about seeing it months ago because of the cast (Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Scarlett Johansson, Andy Serkis, David Bowie), and not only was my excitement not misplaced, but I think I was actually not excited enough about it. I'm not going to say anything else about it (and really, do yourself a favor and avoid reviews of it and just experience it in the theater), but you need to see it. Well, if you're anything like me, that is. Even if you don't like the story, there's no shortage of eye candy.
And now, I have homework due in three hours that I haven't even started (and I have a paper due in fourteen hours that I haven't researched yet), and now I'm going to do it all, but I'm going to dwell on how stinking good that movie was the entire time. Sometimes, the fact that my brain can go nuts is maddening, but it also lets me enjoy myself at times like these.

Take me for what I am! Um, sorry, had a bit of a Rent moment there.
Why am I posting? Well, I'm doing homework, and I always like to take little breaks between questions and sections and the like to clear my head of what I was just thinking. There's also the fact that I'm dead tired, but I can't really sleep right now for reasons that I don't even know, so that really affects my focus. It's a good thing I'm used to working without feeling rested or I'd never get anything done.
Have you ever been awake and working in a room where someone else is sleeping? I've done it quite a bit. I shared a room for quite some time (try...well, it was at least eighteen years, let's put it that way), and I'm now on a seriously nocturnal schedule where I'm not sleeping well, so I tend to be up and about when everyone else is snoring in their respective spaces. There's something very zen-like about it; you get in the zone where you're doing your thing, and there's very little (if any) noise to distract you. Of course, I'm like that even when I'm blaring incredibly loud music, but whatev.
Hmm, I seem to have an orange Moose in my lap who wants my attention. I suppose I should give it to him.

I've quite missed everyone on here! Really, MySpace isn't the same, and it never will be. I much prefer LJ/GJ (y todos, I post at least once a day on LJ, lest you forget). Let's start some comment spam again, shall we?
Anyhoo, I may try updating on here more. I already update loads elsewhere, so what's one more site? I always say this stuff, though. Hmm.
So, que pasa, mi homies?

I felt like posting. It's probably because I'm procrastinating a tad on the whole homework business, but whatev. And I like whining. Have you noticed this?
So yes, my weekend has been all sorts of wacky hijinks. I was going to go out and hang with some of the greatest people in the world, but that weight around my neck known as my schoolwork dragged me down. Curse the man! Um. So yes, I stayed home last night, but I ended up feeling a bit funky, so I didn't really do anything. Then, around six or seven in the morning today, I was in extreme amounts of pain and throwing up. Whee.
I still have the same amount of homework as before at the moment, but now I feel sick on top of it all. O, procrastination, you stab me in the back once more. Le sigh.

DAVID. COPPERFIELD. |

I should be sleeping right now, but Danielle showed me that there's David Copperfield tricks on YouTube, and I couldn't resist. Seriously, how could anyone? David Copperfield is SO STINKING COOL ZOMG. (If you don't know who he is, he's an illusionist. I can't really say more than that because I can't put his brilliance into words.)
You know what's awesome? We saw him perform up at Tahoe a while back. I remember that he did the motorcycle trick. And that he looked really tired at the autograph portion afterward. But the eyebrows? Oh yeah, they're hot.
He was even on Scrubs.
( Top three. )
And what sort of person would I be if I didn't show you my absolutely favorite trick? A bad one, that's who. I can't get two videos to work on GJ, so go here.

"mahishasura" -- DJ Ighechk |
] |
I decided to take a couple days off from the stupid question bit. It's not like I mind doing it or anything, but I just needed to drop something so I could feel a little less stressed, and I decided that the questions could slide for a little while. If you're missing them, worry not, they'll probably be back by the end of the week.
Today, I was reading Across the Wall, which is the Garth Nix book that has the Abhorsen short story. I checked it out from the library, right? Well, as I was flipping through, a picture of Cristyn in her parents' house fell out. I about flipped. It's not mine, so that means it belongs to one of you guys. What a coincidence, huh? If whomever was using the picture as a bookmark would like it back, drop me a comment and I will find a way to get it back to you.
Right now, I really miss all of you. My anxiety/stress is in super overdrive, which means that I don't leave the house once I get home, but I really wish I could see someone. It's probably for the best that I'm hermit-like, though. If I saw anybody, I'd probably end up blubbering all over them, and who needs that? Still, I just want you guys to know that I love you lots. Online, offline, anywhere, I love you.
