i had to take out my helix ear piercing cause my ear is infected.

i'm kinda pissed about it.

although i'd rather have a healthy ear.

but still

harumph

i am completely  in love with Folie a Deux. absolutely brilliant album.

fave songs include:
Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes
The (Shipped) Gold Standard
27
Tiffany Blews

Took me awhile to warm up to 20 Dollar Nosebleed. Orginally hated it cause it sounded way too much like a Panic! at the Disco song (and no I will not drop the exclamation point). Not only because Brendon is singing on it, but because the music itself was waaaay to Panic-ish. However once I listened to the lyrics and discovered that they were referencing one the first abusive drugs in the industry and made a jab at Bush I started to really like it. Amazing how lyrics can make or break a song.

Also took me a bit to warm up to w.a.m.s and (Coffees for Closers) after a few listens though I have taken a liking to them.

overall though, amazing album, Patrick's voice still gives me shivers and Pete's lyrics are clever and fresh. also kudos to Joe for some amazing guitar work as well. Andy...I still love you too. :)


going to Germaine Lawrence tomorrow for some orientation thingie that is actually not mandatory. However going will def show them that I am very willing to learn new techniques and methods. Plus it'll show them that I am very serious about the institution and please hire me after I graduate?

Despite my utter loathing for the place, a job straight out of college in the field that I want to continue in would be amazing. Especially in this economy which is going to fuck people in the ass anyway it can. I def know that i do not want to work in a residential setting. I much prefer to work one on one with people. I want to become a real deal counselor. What I do is glorified babysitting with some physical risk involved.

"Admit it! You're scared of losing me!" - House to Wilson

best. house. episode. ever.

please, its right there, they're not even hiding their relationship anymore. its so beyond friendship that its overwhelming. the only thing they haven't done is "officially" declared that they are a couple.

as i was explaining to paul during the episode, i don't just want house and wilson to be together because i think its hot (which i totally do), but also because they have this relationship that runs so deep that so far, nothing, not even death, could separate them for long. they work. plain and simple, they just work together. no one could ever love house the way wilson does. and the same for wilson, no one could love him the way house does. amber (rip) was a stand in, close to what he wants, but not the same.

wow, i am seriously waaay too involved in this pairing...but it makes me so happy! people need to get over their homophobic ways so they can openly declare them as a couple. seriously peeps, get over it.

houseandwilsonforever

I can't believe how HARD I win!!!

I TOLD YOU THEY WERE TOGETHER! EVEBN TV GUIDE IS CATCHING ON!

WIN!

Me: yeah, we have to get rid of all these old white Republicans
Mum: that is such a derogatory word
Me: What is?
Mum: "Old"
Me: Oh, I wasn't using "old" as a derogatory manner, I was using "Republicans" in a derogatory manner.

so i am royally pissed off and royally screwed at the same time.

last night i found out that my experimental class had been combined with the other one because no enough students were taking it. ok, that's cool, whatever. the new combined class was taking place at the teacher who i was taking the class with, Benenson's time slot. i figured, neat, everybody wins. yeah, no, turns out everyone got fucking screwed over. its not Benenson who is teaching the class anymore, oh no, its fucking Jonna. JONNA. FUCKING JONNA.

So why am i so pissed off by this change?

well first off, i bent over backwards making sure that i got Benenson as a teacher. number one is she a reasonable teacher. second she is a GOOD teacher. you know, someone who actually teaches you the goddamn material. Jonna on the other hand, basically feeds you to the wolves. "here take this set of problems, which you have never seen before in your life, and do them using this formula which you have never ever been taught. then we'll go over them in class" WHAT?! how can you expect me to do this homework without teaching me the fucking material?!?!

Secondly Benenson's experimental class required you to do an experiment and a 5-10 page paper. or basically an average journal article. Jonna makes you write a 40 page paper and does not require an experiment. The class is called EXPERIMENTAL psychology. what the fuck is the point in taking it if you're not going to EXPERIMENT?

No, instead she makes you write about a topic (of your choice) that has been written about and already been experimented on a dozen times in the past. Then expects you to make up an imaginary experiment, tell how you would do it, and tell her what the possible outcomes MAY be. Instead of finding out for yourself. But that would be helpful, which is something Jonna is totally against.

as if i didn't already have enough panic attacks about Quantitative Methods. I fucking hate Jonna with every ounce of my being. she's a nice person, but she is a shit-tastic teacher.

and i was getting all excited about what to do my experiment on and actually LEARN something from the experience. Did I mention you would gain experience in the experimental field? yeah, you may become an expert on the subject, but that means shit in the real world. so you can write a book about the subject, but can you carry it out in a real life experiment?

expertise< experience (in my humble opinion)

this is going to suck

Dear Georgia,
       Stop whining about how Russia is invading you. Um, if you've forgotten it was YOU who invaded RUSSIA to begin with! On the opening night of the Olympics! I clearly remembering reading that your President (or Prime Minister) said that it was the perfect time to attack. I can't find the direct quote at the moment. Why are you so shocked that Russia is attacking you? ITS FUCKING RUSSIA! THEY WILL FUCK YOUR SHIT UP! Have you ever READ a history book?! OF COURSE THEY'RE GONNA KICK YOUR ASS. Morons.

Dear Russia,
        Cut this shit out now. I think its fair to say that you have handed Georgia their own ass. Enough is enough. Get the fuck out of their country and leave it be. They learned their lesson, now learn yours.

Dear America,
        STAY OUT OF THEIR BUSINESS. Quit sticking your nose into other countries shit. You just make things a thousand times worse. The only reason you're supporting Georgia is because they sent their troops in to die for your stupid pointless war in Iraq.

God damn this world is stupid. Can anyone else foresee a New Cold War or World War III is starting to brew here?

I really really really want to have sex with Robert Downey Jr.

its so fucking cold in here!!!


damn labs

You know that purse I lost waaaay back in December?

The one with my wallet and passport?

THE MBTA FOUND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

They called my house and told me someone had turned it into the lost and found!!

I never though I would EVER see that wallet again. I really thought some asshole was walking around with my things, cause realistically, who would turn in a Coach wallet?

This is amazing.
