HELLO HELLO F-LIST YOU CALLED I CAN'T HEAR A THING

I CAN'T HEAR OVER WHAT THE FUCK THIS ICON IS

also i'm back from barcelona (will i ever share pictures of my wild adventures? will you ever hear fun stories? WILL YOU?) and have to write a 2-3 paper about how mcdonald's is taking over the world and other related homework things

how boring

my friend emily wants to go to istanbul. seriously considering going with her, even though instead of renting a hostel she just wants to couch surf (since getting tickets to istanbul is fucking expensive, gotta cut costs somehow). honestly, if it was just the two of us, it could be the most amazing thing ever.


also, my brother and his friends came up with a smash bros. drinking game. i seriously wish i had smash bros now, because i'd so play it. although i'll be 21 after this school year is over and we can play it all summer. fuck yeah drinking games.

oh yeah remember how i almost got hit by a car yesterday?
i have a bruise on the inside of my upper thigh from where my seat hit my leg and it's literally black & purple. literally the most intense bruise of my life.

Hi LJ. It's been awhile.


Classes are going alright, I guess? Lmfoa who am I kidding I feel overwhelmed as fuck. I honestly imagined that these courses would be easier than Bryn Mawr, and that I would have a ton of time to do homework and travel but damn I was off. Dutch isn't hard, but it's so annoying and the work feels honestly useless since we're only learning basic phrases and shit like that. Plus the teacher is really bad and just reviews the same stupid crap over and over dkljf it's a bitch.

Ethnic diversity&pop culture and islamic law&morality confuse the fuck out of me. I honestly have no idea where the professor is trying to go with this class. It just seems like a bigass clusterfuck just slapped together, because the professor is doing almost nothing, expecting the students to take control. Um, what? I can understand wanting students to be involved, but with no direction to go we're just gonna sit on our ass. lmfao I'm just so pissed about it, because I want to like these courses but I feel like they are going NO WHERE. I hate that so much JUST TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON! Give me a syllabus that actually tells me homework and whats going on jesus christ is that so much to ask for.

Pleasure&Politics is like a 300 level course but at least it has the structure that none of these other classes have. The teacher seems nice, but he's really blunt and sometimes comes off as really intimidating and occasionally very judging. It's really frustrating to have a teacher like that, because you're constantly nervous that they think you're just a fucking retard so you just stress instead of learning anything properly. At least the material is really interesting, so the reading isn't all that hard. It's still kinda @_! for me though. I'm sure I'll get the hang of all of my classes in a few weeks, because they only meet once a week it's a lot harder to grasp them right away.

Also since they meet once a week I can pretty much NEVER miss class, which really sucks. I mean I've always gone to class all the time don't get me wrong but it's nice to take a day for yourself once in awhile. I know once Dutch is done I'll have 5 day weekends LMFAO so it should be easier but fuck man. That seems so far away from now!

The only things I have to look forward to are Brussels this weekend (we leave tomorrow morning and come back on Sunday night!), the Rotterdam day trip on the 24th, Groningen & Leeuwarden on October 9th&10th, and Portugal in November.

The other two places I really want to go to are Berlin and somewhere in southern France, probably Marseille. For some reason I just have no desire to see Paris - it seems madly overrated to me. I'd also like to go to Copenhagen (Denmark), either Barcelona or Granada (Spain), Dublin (Ireland), and I'd also like to go back to London (UK) and Brugge (Belgium). OBVIOUSLY I CAN'T DO ALL OF THESE THINGS LFAO but I'll just dream. In my little dream world.

Quietly.
*sits in amsterdam and sheds a single tear*.

i have nothing to post about except this icon is awesome. all my icons are awesome. I HAVE SO MUCH ICON SPACE I COULD UPLOAD LIKE 55 MORE ICONS BUT IDFK WHAT TO USE IT FOR.

whatever.





also, i had fish tacos for dinner. mm mm mm.

my paid died and now i have a lot of depressing-ish icons. anyway.


I'm so fucking done with being home. I want to move out to Amsterdam so badly. I want to see Bryn Mawr and my friends again too, but that can wait until January. Moving out has to happen now.

I'm so jealous of my friends who are moving back in this week. You guys who don't live away from home don't get this but living away from your parents... it's totally amazing. You can get up when you want, no one nags you about anything, you just do what you decide you have to do. Everyone I know whose going away to college (like my cousins/friends/brother) are all worried like "blah blah blah what if the school work is so hard or so much" or "baaaawwwww i'm not going to make any friends" i'm like dude.
just shut the fuck up and realize the beauty that is you are living on your own.
sure, it's not purely alone - you're on a meal plan and you're paying big bucks and you're required to go to class - but holy shit it's so much better than being stuck in a house, getting nagged at all the time, having make plans to go to friend's houses because they live 10/15 minutes away BECAUSE NOW the kids you know and love are literally yards away, everything is walking distance, and you can relax and not stress out. I WANT THAT BACK
SO
BAD.
hooooly shit i will never be able to move back in with my folks after i graduate seriously lmfao. I don't remember wanting to get out of this damn house so bad at the end of last summer, but this summer i'm so so so done.

I think it's because I'm noticing a lot more tension between my parents than ever before.

At dinner tonight, my mom knocked over a wine glass and the wine spilled everywhere and got on my brother and made this big ol mess. My dad got all pissed and my mom just tried to laugh it off, but that tension just kept up through dinner. My mom had broken a wine glass friday night, so my dad was like "what is wrong with you" lmfao. & At one point my mom started cutting up half of the pizza differently than the first half (we had homemade pizza it was so good) and my dad was like "are you retarded?" and i was just like
...
seriously??
Growing up, yeah my parents argued. But this past year or so I've noticed it's been getting worse. My mom tries to keep laughing things off and cracking jokes, but my dad takes it more seriously and seems to be more on the edge&pissy. I just can't take it. They were never, ever this bad. I don't know if it's because me and my brother aren't around as much anymore and they can be obnoxious or what but it's really fucking strange. I'm legit worried that in a few years their marriage is going to fall apart, unless my dad calms the fuck down and my mom gets a grip.


*breathes* i'm totally ranting but... i just needed to get it out of my system.


IN BETTER NEWS; My uncle raffi&aunt laura were over saturday and we got to hang out with them all day. i love them so much, they're the coolest aunt&uncle anyone could ask for. i want to be like them when i'm older. hopefully with the arcanomicon, the arcade machine my uncle built with a computer inside that has roughly 2000 games on it. awww yeah.

I'M BACK FROM ARMENIA WOOOOOOOOOOOO


I'm honestly really happy to be home. Vacation was fun, but being with my entire family all the time was really getting to me, not only stress wise (there were 19 people on a bus that should only fit 18) but I just hate being in such large groups for such a large amount of time at restaurants and walking around everywhere, it's so hard to keep track of everything. Taline's lack of a grasp on reality, Julia's anger problems, my Grandma&Uncle Raffi's constant giving up, my Uncle Randy's complaining... that all didn't help either. The few times we got to be in small groups were really the best. Our tour guide was this armenian priest kid, he was pretty cool even though he didn't speak english (even though he understood it which was odd to me)
also the food wasn't that good which was upsetting. getting armenian/middle eastern food at home is so much better.

I haven't uploaded any of my pictures yet, I'm totally beat. After two flights (one 5 and one 7 hours) and the 2 hour drive home from Philly, I'm in no condition to do anything. I wanted to talk more about my family and stuff but idk. It's not really worth it, i'll just make an enormous post tomorrow with pictures and everything. We did a lot of cool stuff, saw a lot of really old churches, swam in lake sevan, went to some castle/fortress ruins, etc.

also the marriot hotel we stayed at was such a damn palace i can't even LMFAO.


but yeah... i saw kickass, the losers, shrek 4, and just wright on the plane and i'd only recommend kickass and the losers. the other two were boring and predictable.

i also want the muse album the resistance... i listened to it like 3 times on the plane.


that's about it. OH I'M TOO LAZY TO READ THROUGH ALL MY OLD FLIST POSTS SO TELL ME HOW YOU'VE BEEN BBS I MISSED YOU ALL

man idfk what has gotten into me these past few days. i'm rewatching Toy Story for the second time this week, and i'll probably watch Toy Story 2 again tonight too. i've also got this insane hankering to finish Outlaw Star (finally lmfao), rewatch rurouni kenshin, and rewatch/finish yu yu hakusho, i even want to rewatch some sailor moon too, all the old shows i used to watch after school in middle school and stuff. I feel like a fucking child again, all i want to do is sit around and watch TV. it pisses me off that i have to watch everything on the computer sometimes, because it's such a small screen that you can't really set it up anywhere so when curl up on the couch you can see it easily. i want this stuff to be on tv again but i'm too much of a cheap/lazy fuck to buy the dvds lmfao.

huurngng i hate being in this weird almost nostalgic mood??? because i don't want to do anything and i start thinking about old stuff and how i'm getting old with my job and college and all of these unpleasant things. i know i should just be enjoying myself and not thinking about it but lol i'm so bad at that. it doesn't help that i'm spending tonight by myself so i could be doing whatever but i saw everyone yesterday soooo really i shouldn't be complaining.

*turns movie back on* i wish i could watch one of these movies with someone right next to me, that i could talk to face to face. that wasn't my brother or cousin, no offense to them. i wanna have an old fashion sleepover or something really gay like that and watch disney or ghibli films eating popcorn at 12 and seeing who passes out first etc. i like watching movies with my friends online too but it's just not the same. idk. i should just shut the fuck up really!!


.....although rewatching toy story 1 after toy story 3 is really weird cause the CGI looks so messed up LMFAO.

also swiping meme - Leave me a comment and I'll tell you what I like about you. ♥

like 2 years ago I went to utica with my mom to help my grandma clean out her attic. And lo and behold, I find a pillow (that was totally disgusting, we chucked it) and a pillowcase that my mom had gotten from her 9 month stay in Japan in the 1970s.

I keep meaning to take a picture of it, but here it is:





I don't know japanese, but I'm pretty interested as to what this is. Besides Princess of tennis. I'll probably put it on 4chan later or something cause WHAT THE HELL IS THIS. I want to know.
