In an effort to preserve my sanity, I'm taking a break from packing. I can't believe how much crap I own. You can't walk through the living room or the bedroom, because there's boxes and suitcases and trash bags everywhere. At least I know if I forget anything I'll be able to get it back. Some of my stuff is at Mark's parents' house, being stored, so we can't not ever speak to each other again. He has been nice enough to help me some with the packing, although honestly most of the time he's more
I now officially have an unhealthy Star Trek habit. I was having this really nice dream last night, where I was out on a date with some tall, dark, handsome guy, and everything was going great until suddenly...he's assimilated by the Borg! Of course the night before that I dreamed that I was slaying vampires with a machine gun, so who knows. I don't suppose I have any underlying violent feelings or anything.
Yes, I know this entry was completely pointless.
I do not appreciate being woken up. Ever. Under any circumstances. I mean, even if it was 2 pm, I haven't slept worth a crap in days and I didn't go to bed till after the sun had come up. But, there I am, actually asleep, and I slowly become aware that someone is pounding on my door and won't go away. Grr. So I get up, look around in a panic for some clothes, and make it to the door just as it's being unlocked. It's the landlord, and I can't understand a word he says at the best of times, bec
I guess it might be a little weird to talk about personal stuff "in public" like this, but it's not like I have anyone to talk to, especially at 5 in the morning, and I sort of need to get my thoughts in order. So, my apologies to anyone wondering why they should give a crap. But here it goes: my boyfriend just dumped me. I feel like I'm in high school or something, saying that, and the whole thing is just so surreal. We've had one of those relationships where I guess I knew this was coming even
I'm writing this not so much because I have anything to say, but because if I don't take a break I'm gonna end up curled up in the corner screaming. I'm trying to write this stupid 10 page historical narrative (if you don't know what that is, I still haven't quite figured it out myself) and I have a sneaking suspicion I'm gonna get to page 3 or so and just run out of stuff to say.
Anyway, I told my mom about getting accepted to that school, and she just got mad because it was even farther aw
I got accepted to a law school! *dances around like a fool* The problem is, it's not my first choice (cause I'd have to move to another state), and they want a $200 deposit by May 1. I haven't heard back from my first pick yet, and I wasn't really expecting to by the end of the month, so I guess I'm just gonna have to swallow the $200 just in case. It's really good to know that I at least got in somewhere, though.

I am so exhausted right now. The bf and I rented a car and went to WV to see our families for a few days, and we got home at like 3:30 this morning. I couldn't fall asleep until after 5:30, and then I got up at 9 to return the car. And of course now I'm both exhausted and wide awake. The trip was fairly uneventful, except that I had to do nearly all the driving (I was supposed to do all of it, cause my name was the only one on the rental-long story) and I HATE driving. I get freaked out pretty
Yeah, I know I should go back and crop the black, but oh well. Anyway, he was hiding his face from me this morning while I was trying to put the stuff on his eye, and I thought it was cute, so I left the bf holding him and took a picture.
So we went to the vet, and I think I feel worse now than I did before. The bunny is basically a pus factory at the moment (I know that's gross, sorry, but it's true.) His nose and his eyes are leaking, and he's snuffling, and basically just sort of laying around looking pathetic. The vet isn't positive what's wrong with him; he said it's either a bacterial infection or a virus, so we've got antibiotics and we'll have to wait and see if they work. The worst part is one of his eyes, which is sort
You didn't really think I was actually going to make such a horrible pun, did you?
I'm really blogging way too much lately. Maybe I'm becoming something of an egotist. Anyway, last night I went to this party, and I think there were probably a good 40 people crammed into this apartment, and most of them I'd never seen before in my life. Most of them the girl that I knew who lived there had never seen before in her life. A lot of them were these frat guy types, who I have to say are not my fav
The idiot kids who live across the hall from me are having some loud, drunken party. I was okay with this, for now, cause I stay up pretty late anyway. Then I heard sort of a scratching sound coming from my door, and went and looked out the peephole. There were like 8 people standing right outside my door and one of them was stealing one of the numbers off the door! (they're stickers) Then he yells really loudly (for me? just cause he was drunk and being loud?) "I've got the 0 in my wallet!" and
I'm sort of freaking out because I think my bunny is sick. Earlier today he was making these really pathetic and scary whimpering noises, and he's been sneezing a lot. I thought maybe he was just whining because we got him a new brand of hay that he's been more or less refusing to eat, and he stopped when I gave him a carrot, but now there's the sneezes, which sound kind of wet. Every time he starts I have to force myself not to call the boyfriend at work in a panic. We don't have a functional c
So I just finished DD 35, and oddly enough it brought back so many memories for me that I can't even be pissed about the cliffhanger. That whole thing with Seth not wanting to say goodbye, I went through that a couple times a year for three years. My boyfriend went off to college as I was starting 10th grade, and it was far enough away from home (well, it was here in Pgh, actually) that I only got to see him at Christmas and spring break. I was so completely pathetic about it, I'd start marking
So yesterday was fun, not because I really care about football but because the entire city lost its mind. I didn't go out until about midnight, and by then it was snowing a lot and the roads were kinda icy, but there were still some diehard lunatics out running in the streets and screaming. The bf and I went to a bar in the poor ass, mostly college kid populated part of town, and unfortunately I'd already missed out on all of the rioting and fires, but I do have a few pictures of the aftermath f
Yesterday this album I've been looking forward to came out, so I got on that AOL Music Now (the subscription was a Christmas present from the bf's mom and it's more or less a pain in the ass, in my opinion, but that's another story) and downloaded it. I was a huge fan of the show Rock Star INXS, and pretty much from the first episode I was all about Marty Casey. (picture) I thought he was just so unbelievably hot, and I don't think he did a single song I didn't like. Some of his versions were
So I just found out today that this whole thing with the mine fire in WV has made national news. I haven't even been paying all that much attention to it. In case I'm not the only one, http://edition.cnn.com/2006/US/01/20/mine.fire/index.html
Last I heard, they weren't releasing the names of the people who are missing, but as it turns out I'm sort-of-but-not-really related to one of them. He's my sister-in-law's something or other. I've never heard of him personally. We went to the same high sc
In case anyone hasn't seen this yet, it's way too funny to miss.

I honestly don't know if it'd be funnier if this guy took himself seriously or if it was all a joke. I think my favorite part is, "As I have previously stated, I am evil. However, I prefer to unleash my evil side upon terrorists and criminals. Not the innocent."
I read this article yesterday about how Chuck Norris apparently has this cult following among college-age people. My dad's favorite show ever was Walker, Texas Ranger, so I've quite unwillingly seen a lot of Chuck Norris in my day. For anyone who has no idea what I'm talking about, sorry, you can leave now. Anyway, there were some pretty hilarious lines from the story I thought I'd share.
Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.
Chuck Norris frequently donates blood to the Red Cross. Just
Warning, drunk rambling post ahead:
Well I've done my New Year's partying and now I'm home, making mac and cheese and having a hard time typing. I went to two different parties tonight. One was at an old friend from WV's house (he lives here now) and mostly it was his girlfriend's family, who I didn't know at all. We only stayed there until right after midnight. They live in the highest neighborhood in the city, so we walked outside and were able to see fireworks that I think were being set
So the object of my intense dislike who I was complaining about in my last post called here this evening. She was actually looking for the bf, who was at work, so she decided to talk to me instead. Talk about weird. At first she seemed really confused about who I was and why I was answering the phone, and she seemed to think my name was Sarah. I finally got her straightened out and reminded her that we'd met once before, and then she was just off and running and I couldn't get a word in. I guess
So here's an interesting thing. We all know about the somewhat turbulent relationship my boyfriend and I have, and honestly since I've been away for two months we're sort of having trouble getting used to each other again. But while I was gone he was going out with his friends more and stuff, which I'm actually glad about, and I don't hold it against him or anything. But there's this one girl from work who he's gotten to be friends with, and I absolutely cannot stand her. She's like 3 years youn
Ugh, so much to tell. I've been very bad and not written anything for a long time, and then I started feeling like I had too much to say and was too lazy to type it all.
First of all, I am back in the city now. I've been here almost two weeks, but I just got the internet Tuesday. (The cable internet guy came an hour and a half EARLY! What is the world coming to?) Got my pets back Wednesday, and apart from the shameful condition of the bunny's nails (I have got to take him to a vet SOON to
So I'm sort of obscenely excited right now. I think I'm going back to Pittsburgh soon. (I hope, I hope.) The bf looked at an apartment today that's in the building right next to the one where we were sharing with the evil roommates. It sounds pretty decent, and the move would be easy, and we could go ahead and leave all our crap in the basement of the other building. Supposedly he can sign the lease tomorrow, and I dunno when he'd be moving exactly, but probably next week, or the week after. The
