So. I haven't written. Which is partly because of my flaky personality and inability to focus on something for long periods of time and also because, frankly, I have no life. Sometimes I may make it seem like I have a life on facebook, but don't believe me! They're merely paltry tricks of illusion.
But school starts (FINALLY!!!) next Tuesday so you'll see me post more often. Cause I'll have a life.
So today we bought textbooks. Daddy is still in the frame financial mind from when he went to collage in the seventies. You know, when 12 + hours a semester cost a whopping $125. He thought the extra three hundred dollars from my pell grant would cover books. Needless to say I didn't believe him, and I tried to take out some money from a student loan, and he told me not to be ridiculous.
My textbooks cost 500 dollars and I'm only taking 12 hours. You could hear Daddy's "WHAT!?" halfway across the student union and he bitched about it the entire ride home. Here's my favorite quote from him, which I had to put in my facebook status:
"The state's fuck me in the ass so mcuh I might as well be a porn star!"
I had to edit it a little for facebook, lol.
But I didn't care because the cute guy at the bookstore remembered me from the last time we came in! They were slammed of course, from all the people moving back into the dorms, but he squeezed my shoulder as he walked past me and said hi.
^.^

Something especially spectacular. I found it on a list of words that didn't make it into the oxford dictionary.

Green with Envy.
Or more like eaten alive with Jealousy. So Laurie freaking took off to DISNEY WORLD!! Without calling me and planning on how she can stow me away in a suitcase with air holes!! What kind of a friend is that?! Doesn't she know how long I have BURNED to go to Disney World!?
Lol. I'm happy for her, really. But very much Jealous. YOU BETTER CALL ME AND TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT LAURIE!! GET PICTURES!
It's the last week of school for John and I'm not happy. I love my quiet mornings when he's gone and Dad's asleep, lol. I'm not sure, with John's recent attitude problems, that he'll survive the summer. And since I'm not going to Texas this summer, I'm stuck with him for a solid three months with not school to give me a break!
And oh yeah. I'm not going to Texas this summer. But I'm still waaay to angry to blog about that in detail. Especially since my parents read this and if I start ranting on here they'll probably ban me for life instead of this summer. . . .
ANYway, here's your Word of the Day:
Shank - to stab somebody, preferably in a dark and deserted ally, usually when drugs are involved. And no, this definition is not from dictionary.com. They actually didn't have the right definition. FAIL.
Nothing makes you feel better during a temper tantrum than a good shank into somebody else's ribs, that's what I always say.

Arrg.
So today I went to library and checked out He's Just Not That Into You.
It was very . . . informative. I'm glad I read it because it definitely tells me what kind of bad boyfriend/potential boyfriend behavior to look out for. And really, not matter how harsh the advice seems sometimes, the message of the book is what I've been trying to tell people for a long time:
It's seriously, totally not worth wasting your time with some douche bag guy because you figure a shitty relationship is better than no relationship.
A-freaking-men.
I really don't understand the amount of crap people will put up with just to be in a relationship. Like being single is a fatal disease or on par with Tantarus in Hades. Sure sometimes you get a little lonely, you get a little jealous when you watch a romantic comedy, but there is so much awesome in the world to fill your life with that has nothing to do with a romance. But some people act like life is, like, almost not worth living just because you don't have a guy or a girl to play tongue hockey with.
Isn't it better to be single and alone and available when a great guy or girl comes along than to latch on to the first person that shows minimal interest because you just want a relationship?
I seriously don't understand people sometimes.
Anyway, for girls I'd highly recommend the book. It's funny, but really informative and a definite self esteem boost. It basically says that you shouldn't put up with stupid guy shit because you deserve better than that and some day you are going to get it. Just be a little patient.

So I lost the bet . . .
At least there wasn't any money involved, haha. I'm going to get back on the horse, so to speak and try again. I really like this blog.
Anyway, I have two exciting news (newses?). First, Dustin came to visit! The poor guy spent, like, ten hours to drive up here, getting lost and caught in hardcore rainstorms and almost wrecking while he did ninety almost half the way up here. But he got here in one, albeit horribly exhausted, piece.
Technically he didn't do a whole lot; we mainly just sat around the house and hung out, watched some movies. He and Daddy were like instant best friends, talking about old cars almost the entire weekend. We walked around Saint Albans some (he says that. But we had some awesome fun.
Let me tell you, though, it was really strange to see a Texas friend in West Virginia. It's always felt like I live in two separate countries almost. So to see Dustin here was like a clashing of the worlds. Twilight Zone. Lol.
The thing is, now that he's left I miss even more now that I ever have before. Kinda sucks.
And the other news: We have Baby Kittehs! Five of them, five fluffy, adorable baby kitties. The only problem is that their mother is feral, so they're super skittish. But I've been catching them and holding them to get them used to people. I've named them all after FF12 characters: Baltheir, Vaan, Penelo, Fran and Josie, who daddy named so we would have Josie and the pussy cats. (rolls eyes).
So you know what's really fun to do? Look up Disney Crossover videos on Youtube.
Addictive. And funny. And cracktastic!
Quote of the Day:
"Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean it is not real?"
-- Dumbledore, The Deathly Hallows
It popped in my mind the other day and I can't get it out. But it's probably one of my very favorite Harry Potter Quotes. Dumbledore's the shit.

The Elusive Dragonair
So the Internet crapped out again last evening/today so today's earlier post is actually yesterday's.
Man, last night it poured down the rain, which I didn’t mind because it’s been a long time since I sat through a good old fashioned thunder storm. Today it’s been rain off and on and just total dreariness in general so you know what I did?
I played me some pokemon leaf green on my computer.
Seriously, that game is more addictive than crack and almost as addictive as Korean pop. I played it for, like, four straight hours today without even realizing it. But you know what drove me completely crazy? Three of those hours were spent in the freaking safari area and didn't catch one damn Dragonair. Not from lack of trying, mind you. I ran into, like, five of them. Seriously, how the hell do you catch one when they're too busy RUNNING AWAY!?
Gah. I'll catch one tomorrow if it kills me.
Word of the Day: Luminescent
Glowing, shining.
This is one of those words that sound exactly what they're supposed to be describing. It's a glowy word. I've always thought it was really pretty.

Operation Kohl's is a . . . .
a SUCCESS! Aaaaah! You wouldn't believe the deals I got! It was the last day of the sale and Daddy didn't drag his happy ass out of bed until one this afternoon and we didn't make it up there till around three thirty. So honestly I was expecting the place to be completely ransacked. But it wasn't! I had an absolute field day and I only spend eighty dollars of the 140 that I had planned. All the shirts I got were under ten dollars and I saved at the very least eight dollars on any one item.
AAAAH! SO EXCITED OVER CLOTHES!
Anyway I was reading this article on AOL this morning and the author quoted from this obscure poem about a woman plauged by the thoughts of a miscarried child. I loved the quote because for some reason it's very haunting. It stuck with me all day. That's what I admire in poetry - the ability to wring out so much emotion in just a handful of words. Which is precisely why I suck so hard at it. But anyway, here's the quote from the article. Is it haunting to you, or am I just crazy? (We all know the answer to that question)
I thought she'd fade
but still she calls
in the sleepless night:
give me your darkest winter
it will be spring to me
Word of the Day: Aracari
A genus of Tucans
I found this word randomly scrolling through my dictionary app on my ipod. It's a really pretty name. I might use it in a fantasy novel.

Oh!
So a few months ago I got into Korean pop kind of by accident. Korean pop is kind like a chocolate bar infused with crack: delicious and instantaneously addictive. And if Korean pop is crack-addled chocolate then the girl group SNSD is the Belgian chocolate that costs, like, three hundred dollars a pound.
It's a little pathetic how much I fangirl over them, but SNSD is really unlike any other pop group I know. SNSD is made up of nine girls 19-22 years old and they churn out cute and ridiculously catchy pop songs. Which I know sounds like any other pop group but these girls are different.
SNSD has class. The cutesy trend is dying out in Korean and most groups are going for the mature, sexy music videos and it usually comes out slutty. Like, so slutty that three girl perfomers' videos have been banned from public television. But SNSD have no slutty vidoes. No slutty dancing. No slutty photoshoots. None of them are in rehab or pictured with drugs or alcohol or coming home from some guy's house. They know they are the role models of a bunch of younger girls and they act like it.
Besides, when you see them on reality or variety shows they are so much fun to watch. All nine of these girls are best friends. Real friends. It's not a show, or a facade. They all live three to a room in an apartment, and despite the rigorous schedule, general lack of sleep, and prolonged time away from their families, there is no catty girl drama. You watch them in interviews playing with each others hair, calling each other ridiculous nicknames, making fun of each others habits. These girls love each other and they connect well with an audience so you kind of feel like you're apart of this giant awesome group of friends when you're watching them.
Which makes me miss my giant awesome group of friends. Ack. Seriously, you guys in Texas, I miss all of you all the time. I cannot wait to see you this summer. Maybe you guys can all carpool and head to my house for a party/sleepover. How awesomely epic would that be?
But yeah. If you like jpop I suggest you look into SNSD. They are totally awesome and I seriously think I'm getting a massive girl crush on all of them. Lol. I haven't felt this way since the Spice Girls. But it's nice to know that I can like these girls and not hear about how one had to be dragged in a drunken stupor from some club party, or got busted with a crack pipe. Or flashing their boobs or underwear in a slutty outfit.
