wow, what a fucking weekend.

( epic post is epic...Collapse )

and then this morning i got up after roughly 4 hours of sleep, drove nelle and squot back to nelle's place, and got myself from boston to cumberland in an hour to be on time to work, LIKE A FUCKING BOSS. i left my leftovers so i have no lunch (bk ftw/ftl, you decide) and i'm pretty much going to be dead by the time 5pm hits, but whatever. this weekend was so necessary.

....actually you could really sum up this entire post in six words. i fucking love my second family.
goddam!

<3

.....oh yeah. today/tonight are for f'ing TAGGING, since i did, uh, NONE OF THAT while i was away. and reqs gotta get made, son.

( possible tmiCollapse )

last night was fucking awesome. those of you that were reading twitter already know this, lol. i hung out with my best friend from high school, the one who has the same birthday as me, and holy crap it was awesome. we went to a restaurant and got nachos and drinks, and then back to her place and had beers (and coffee-flavored patron, omg, soooo tasty) and hung out w/her friend who lives in the apt above hers. it was extremely awesome, i'm so excited to have a friend here again, and the possibility of hanging out w/them again really soon. i'm so jazzed. :D :D and omg we laughed about so many old jokes and reminded each other of the crazy shit we did in high school... it was so much fun. i might go out w/them tonight, but might not, idk. depends on how i feel later-- right now i kinda feel like if i drink again tonight i'll want to die tomorrow, lol. so we'll see.

only downside was that in my drunken idiocy i tripped going out of her apt to smoke at one point, and when i woke up discovered that i'd skinned the front of my ankle on the way down-- like, the curve where your leg becomes the top of your foot, that is all skinned and bloody. felt awesome ripping my sock off this morning, lemme tell you. >.>;;;;

ok i'm kinda durnk and going to bed now. imight have forgotten some fandoms or repeatedsome so imight come check this again im the morning and ifx it. :)

my roommates got me choclate cheesecake and wine. and hard cider. andm y mom got me sushi and a maritinei from the tunnle baar. .yum. ok bedtime now.

last night i barely slept, and it was awesome.

first i got possibly the best drunk dial EVER, from seven of my favorite people in the whole wide world; usually9_15, sekala, halfdreams, linaeloisetook, oimizza, douxquemiel and rinlage. in the first ten seconds sam informed me that i was going to be passed around like a cheap whore, which then resulted in almost an hour of chatting and wishing i was there. *sigh* soon, friends, i will try v. v. hard to get my butt up there soon.

and then dutchesschaotic called and we talked for two hours (like we do) about lots of things; a lot about moving and the state of change we both seem to be in... i dunno, it was just really nice, i know it's silly but i really do like just hanging out over the phone.. i remember in high school i used to do that with people, just walk around the house on the phone for a few hours. i'm sure my parents loved it [ha bloody ha] but it is nice to just chill and not feel like you have to talk ABOUT anything. plus i adore her to pieces, which also helps. XD

in other news, i just found out like, since i started typing this entry, that my great-uncle passed away last week. he's had parkinson's for a while, and he got pneumonia finally... it's weird, i'm really oddly sad in a way, though i barely knew him i remember him as this total benign presence over extended family gatherings the few times we've had them... this is on my dad's side, my dad's mom's brother.. it's weird to think i'll never see him agian, though it's not like he's been a real outstanding feature of my life. he was so sweet, i always remember that, he always had a joke and a kind word for whoever was around, which in my family is kind of a big deal.

anyway... i'm going to go have dinner with mom and chris for chris's birthday. and maybe watch a movie or some shit, i dunno. i'll be around later tonight, i hope... TR things and possibly a writing project to work on. and if the basictraining challenge gets posted, then that too. :)

ciao.

best quote ever from a_hollow_year:
I think the US should cut out the middleman and just drop the entire Department of the Treasury into the center of Tehran from low earth orbit.

mwahahahahahahaha true.


memo to self:
you don't get hangovers. this is true and will always be true. but sleeping 4 hours after an entire bottle of wine is JUST FUCKING STUPID. because 4 hours of sleep means you'll feel like assbaskets all day anyway, but add the wine? then you're an assbasket with a queasy stomach and a violent desire to off yourself.

this ESPECIALLY applies when your mother tells you at 6pm tuesday that she isn't coming to pick you up at 9pm like originally planned, and she won't let your brother come pick you up either, because he might get lost driving by himself. so you have to wake up early [which automatically means you oversleep, because of the wine] to have a friend drive you from western massachussetts to providence because she's just that awesome.

the desire for offing SOMETHING continues when you finally get to work and after approximately a half hour of work [after you've now taken a day and a half off for no valid reason other than vacation], the computer you're using freezes and begins emitting a noise like a european police car siren [BEEEEYOOOOOBEEEEEEYOOOO]. you unplug it and call in a work order, explain that it's vital it get fixed asap, and they say they'll be there TOMORROW. so you sit around and wait, doing nothing, until the other secretary leaves and then use hers. by this point you just KNOW that the boss thinks you are the most irresponsible assbasket in the universe. and you still haven't eaten anything but a large coffee and half a bagel.

also, sending emails at 4am while still tipsy is ALSO FUCKING STUPID because even rereading it 2094385729384731 times to make sure it doesn't sound retarded doesn't help, because YOU STILL REPEAT YOURSELF EIGHT TIMES FOR NO REASON.




that is all. i now have cereal [shock of shocks] and a cold. and an ASSLOAD of luggage to bring home on the bus. WTF mates.

i still can't shake this awesome feeling.... though it's a bit more buried than it was yesterday. i seriously have the best friends in the whole fucking world, it was SO awesome to see everybody this weekend, even the people i only saw for a ten minute cigarette. i need more days like this weekend was. i'll be back in two weeks for halloween/linaeloisetook's birthday, and maybe even sooner for LVN and oimizza's shindig if i can make it. and REN FAIRE ZOMG i can't wait to put on my corset and my skirts and my AWESOME STRIPED SOCKS and be a sexy pirate! i would wear that fucking outfit once a week if i thought i could get away with it.


okay. i will get through today without further incident. i can't wait to go home, put on my night pants pajamas, take a handful of advils and watch eternal sunshine. yeesh.


eta:
best brother in the world is coming to pick me up from work so i don't have to do my hour-and-fifteen-minute bus commute with a suitcase, a travel bag, a shopping bag, a messenger bag, a purse and a jacket. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

i just want to squee all over everything. by all rights i shouldn't be this gleeful- nothing definite has happened, i just know i feel like a million bucks and even though i'm sick and exhausted and my mouth still tastes like shiraz, i have this stupid little grin on and i can't get rid of it.

i haven't been this happy in ages and it blows my fucking mind.

pix i took of various friends on the 26th and 27th. <3333

( here we come a wassailing...Collapse )


i have a feeling i'm going to be posting a lot of post-drunk pix because of this thing. :)

I. Reply to this post, because I would like to say a couple words about you.

II. I will also tell you what song(s) remind me of you when I hear it.

III. I will also tell you what celebrity/movie character/public person you remind me of, either personality-wise or looks-wise.

IV. I will also give ONE WORD that I associate with you when I think of you.

V. We all could use a boost now and then, so steal this for your journal and make someone else's day as well.

becky just called me and informed me no less than seven times in a five-minute conversation that she is more fucked up than she's ever been in her life. i'm going to amherst to pick her up at 3. anyone wanna come?

why am i sober when everyone i know is plastered. oh, right. the fruits of procrastination come to light at last. ::shakes fist::

oh right - extended rotk. well, i was a little tipsy, but i remember it being AWESOME. more pippin, more faramir, my heart breaking when eomer finds eowyn and theoden on the battlefield, the fucking mouth of sauron was the creepiest thing ever, worse and stranger and more perfect than almost anything else in the trilogy. it fit so perfectly with the book, all the extra stuff did, but for some reason the strange mouth in the eyeless helmet just pierced. also, the marathon died a horrid death when everyone realized they had more important stuff to do. so sadly i did not get to assuage my need for the extended two towers. but soon my friends. soon.


also, i need new icons. i've used some of the same ones for months and months, and while i love them, i'd like new ones. lots of you have wamazing iconinating skills. what can i offer you to trade? :)
