I am utterly amused by the chain of events that just happened to me over the past hour and a half, and I figure the internet may get some laughs out of this, so here we go.

Today after reading a friend's Twitter update about wanting cupcakes, I found that I did too. As this wasn't long after I'd gotten home and settled in for the day, I sat and pondered whether or not I wanted cupcakes badly enough to go back out to the store, roughly four minutes away.

I calculated that overall, it would only take about twenty minutes, before I'd be back in my chair, lounging comfortably, plus one cupcake. In addition, I realized that the weather channel said it was supposed to be raining at that moment, but it wasn't. I took this as a sign from Mother Nature that she approved of my potential quest. But I was still so comfortable, and lazy, that I wasn't sold.

Then, I was informed that today is the start of Cupcake Week. Decision made.

In the first minute of my journey it began to rain, and traffic was so bad that the remaining three minutes of the trip became ten. I began to wonder if the universe was sending me mixed signals about whether or not I should have left the house. However, once I reached my destination, I was delighted to discover that there were two cupcakes with Batman rings nestled in the frosting. This was, of course, entirely awesome.

I called my mother to ask if she liked cupcakes. She said no, so I told her I'd get my sister one, and drop it off in her room as a Cupcake Week surprise. I'd left some of my birthday cake in her freezer and wanted to pick it up, too. She said it was very thoughtful of me, and told me to be careful not to set off her alarm. I hung up, purchased the cupcakes, stole the ring off the one for my sister, and went to the house.

Once there, I turned the car off, grabbed the cupcake for her, and started to reach for my phone. I'm the kind of girl who is within six feet of her phone at all times, so this was a habit. However, I decided that it couldn't take more than two minutes to go in and drop off the cupcake, so I left it on the seat and got out, automatically locking the car door as I closed it.

I spent the next five minutes staring plaintively through the driver's side window at my keys and phone, hanging out together in the passenger seat. The key to that house was, of course, on the ring with my car keys. The key to my house, a fifteen-minute walk from there, was also on that ring. This left me stranded at an empty house whose residents wouldn't be home for hours, unable to call anyone to come help me, with nothing but a brightly-colored cupcake on my person.

After pacing up and down the driveway in pure disbelief for another five minutes, I used the garage door's code to enter the garage, seeking the secondary fridge kept in there. It seemed like a safe place for a cupcake, and the idea of going to the neighbor's house with a pitiful story and a pretty little cupcake seemed so hilariously ridiculous I decided against it. Once the cupcake was safely stored away, I noticed the door from the garage to the backyard. Suddenly hoping my mother might keep a spare key hidden out there, I opened the door, which earned me a screaming tirade from her alarm system. To turn it off I would have had to enter the house and input the code.

My mother's neighbor tried not to laugh as I used his phone to call my father, who arrived ten minutes later. He used his spare key to unlock my car and went on his way, while I fetched the keys from the car and returned to the garage, determined to properly finish my cupcake delivery. I called my mother to explain why she had probably been called by her alarm company, and entered the house, under the assumption that, surely, since the alarm had already gone off and the light above the garage was already flashing, the alarm would not be triggered again.

Thirty seconds later, my mother was screaming alarm code numbers at me over the siren shrieking in my ears.

By the time I finally left, mourning the birthday cake that had mysteriously vanished from the freezer, it had been over an hour since I'd left my cozy chair. Fortunately the rain earlier had stopped after just a few minutes, so I wasn't wet, and was able to immediately resume lounging when I got home. Since then, I've been trying to decide if, overall, I regretted leaving the house. Traffic was bad, but there was no line at the store. Getting locked out was balanced by not being locked out in the rain, and not being stuck there very long. All in all, it was pretty much a tie.

Then I remembered the remaining cupcake, and the fact that I now own two dinky plastic Batman rings. If given the chance, I think I'd do it all again.

Lawl A23.

Soo, back home after three and a half weeks of friend tiems. XD Pretty much been ignoring the internet in all that time, which is so odd for me.

So anyway, so many potentially fun movies coming out zaumgh-- and the new Layton game soon, as iTunes just decided to remind me. 8] Already pre-ordered it at GameStop, I love that shit.

Flip came and works quite nicely. 8] So many fun vids, wee.

Uh.. Yeh. >_> I don't have much to say actually. Looking forward to the animated 9, not to be confused with the other Nine movie coming out in November, and why they decided to release the two only a couple months apart is beyond me, I'm guessing no one noticed or no one realized it'd confuse people..

Also, RORSCHACH IS GONNA BE THE NEW FREDDY HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT COMES OUT IN APRIL OF NEXT YEAR OH GOD YEEEESS.

Wouldn't surprise me if that date was pushed back, but STILL ZAUMGH.

Aand now I have Giovanni's "It Will All Be Mine" in my head. From the Pokemon Live musical, heh. >_>;;;; Aand now I'm thinking of this one dude.

Oughta clean my room.. Among other things.

Why is my calculator near my foot? >_>;;

Reading customer reviews on Amazon for my new camcorder thing. 8] They're all pretty positive.

Mostly reading them to try to figure out how long one set of AAs will keep the thing running. Only mention I've seen about that so far is "Btw, it drains the battery really fast, so you might want to consider bringing spares." I was planning to keep spares on hand anyway, but I'd like to find an estimate for how long one set of AAs will last. e_e

I find I do prefer the AA thing, though, because I can bring those around with me, rather than having to be near an outlet or computer to recharge the thing.

Ah, second mention of battery life, "Batteries last a reasonable time." e_e Damn it people, I want a number of minutes/hours of continual use before the thing dies.

Mention three, "It also automatically powers off after about a minute of inactivity, which is great for saving battery power. While we're on the subject of battery power, I am impressed by how much recording time the Flip can get out of a pair of AA batteries (you can also purchase a "Flip Ultra Rechargeable Battery Pack" separately, that I imagine lasts longer than AAs)." FUCKING GIVE ME A NUMBER. T_T This sounds good but I still want a goddamn continual-use estimate.

"In addition to the ease of use, the Flip also keeps a running count of how much recording time remains on its memory, so you know exactly how many minutes are left. When a video is replayed on the camera, it also lets you know how long that video is." AWESOME. I was wondering how to keep track of how many minutes of the two recording hours I had left.

Meh, reviews ovar. Ah well, I'll be bringing spare batteries around with me anyway. >_>

Augh so excited holy fuck. I opted for two-day shipping for ten bucks, I want this thing noww but I have to wait until Friday. X_X I WANT IT NOWWWW. Thinking I won't even get another disposable camera, if I want to take a picture I can just click and unclick the recording button for half a second. >_>

Only ten minutes left in here. X_X Wanna go hoooome. Need to do the virtual orientation for UCF, though I don't fucking see why, I've been on this campus for two years, think I can figure out where shit is. T_T Also need to do the EduPsych movie analysis, which should be easy enough, gonna get started on that today, hopefully finish it tomorrow.

Just downed a Full Throttle, abstained for like two weeks so hopefully it'll work well to keep me up today, so much to do, so little sleep gotten last night. XD

Gotta pee like woah. TMI, I know. XD

AAAAHH EXCITED. Gonna sign off now. x]Mwee!

Metro went swimmingly. 8]

Now my friend's coming back for two weeks, starting Sunday, and I'm so excited I could pee.

Also, just got a camcorder, finally. Been wanting one on and off for years rly, since the sister unit got her old video camera eons ago. >_> Never got off my ass about it until recently, and even then, couldn't find what I was looking for, until just now. 8] Thing will be on my doorstep by Friday.

Gonna do soooo much these next two weeks, zaumgah.

Starting with sleeping now, because.. I am weary, and must be awake at nine. XD Woo.

Apparently mainstream "pop"-ish music is becoming more dance/trance/techno-like. 8] It's ruvree.

Got my immunization form for UCF done today, will be getting a copy this weekend and mailing it out Monday. Apply for a virtual orientation the last week of June, see an adviser, and then on July 6th I'll be able to register for classes. 8] Noo idea what I'm taking rly. XD Gonna look into classes after seeing an adviser and asking.

Also, owe mother dearest twenty bucks for express shipping on a replacement phone charger/battery. e.e Worth it, to make sure it's here before Tampa tiems.

NOW! Regarding the Andy cosplay.

+Hat
+Shoes

I have much to do. e.e SOHOHO MUCH!! All of it relatively simple, the body's just making me nervous. But it must be done. AND THUS. ::starts body::

-_- Got it to turn on twice, both times it shut right the fuck off again right after. I'd say the battery's dead, which is just great because the thing fucking showed all five bars of power and I just recharged the motherfucker YESTERDAY. So yes, my phone's battery is definitely fucked. Need to get that fixed before Tampa. Goddamn it. Least it happened when there's still time to fix it. -.- Ugh.. Shall tell mother dearest, plz to be calling phone people and getting me a new battery..

Quizzin' tiems.

::regains laptop:: Diffusion and hypertonic, ftw. Parroted the shit exactly as he wrote it on the notes, but I bet he'll knock off a couple points anyway because what I parroted wasn't word-for-word what he said the answers were just now, he included the word "solute" a couple times where the notes didn't. Bet he'll knock off a couple points for that, just because he can. -_- Prick.

Auhh phone thing still bothering me.. Just fucking said I couldn't get along without the fucking thing and now it's dead. T_T Awesome.

Think I'm gonna look up more Metro directions while I'm online. Buhh phone.. x_x Meh.



2:25 PM EDIT


Looked into Drag Me to Hell reviews. The commercials pissed me off because it looked like a FUCKING HORRIBLE horror movie, playing on old-ass cliches and such, but now that I'm looking it up, apparently it's SUPPOSED to be a fun/campy thriller thing, not a serious horror movie. THAT makes much more sense, judging it as a horror movie = oh my god, fucking horrible. Judging it as so-bad-it's-funny, campy-thriller = can't tell from commercial, but reviews say it works. So I might watch it. Thing has a 93% on RT, which I've come to trust well enough.. Think I'll give it a chance.

Bluhh the lecture of this class is so loooong..

Woosh.

Got a lot done with the hat today, but that's about it rly. >_> Well, finished up the closet basically, gonna move the chair in there and set up the cosplay thing tomorrow. Also need to do the EduPsych topic, goddamn.

Hat is coming along so well though. x] Mwee. Getting the blue sewn on today, only have a bit more of it done, then adding the strip of white will be much easier/faster, and then attaching the yarn will be the easiest. Should have it done tomorrow.

That and the aforementioned things should fill up the day nicely. 8] Then the rest of the EduPsych work Sunday, along with getting the body of the outfit started.

Eleven days..!!

My fingers huuuurt. D: From sewiiiing.

Not because I stabbed them with the needle a lot [though I did do that at least twice T_T] but because I have to pull it through relatively thick fabric, in layers. Andy hat workin's ftw.

Have all the yarn in place, working on hemming it in and then I'll get my supplies in order.. No, I'll finish the closet and set up the cosplay station and THEN get my supplies in order..

And do the EduPsych topic, damn. e.e Hardly slept last night so I'm not at my best, don't wanna screw up the assignment from tiredness, so I decided to wait until tomorrow to do it.

Though it's technically "tomorrow" already.. Bleh anyway, mostly just wanted to bitch about my fingers [using my hurting fingers to do so, haha clevar!] and note that McFly and Squish are done and my team is pretty ready for Metro. 8] Yee.

That's it I guess. XD Gotta sleep now before I fall over, kinda dizzy hehehe..

Organizing shit for Metro again. Making list upon list upon list. XD Loev lists.

Got like three hours last night and had a hell of a time waking up, but feeling okay now. Got some Full Throttle going, that should kick in soon.

Planning out what shirts I'll need at Metro. Got my "The Cake is a Lie" red and black one, my "The Companion Cube is my Co-Pilot" one, and the one with a bunch of little Companion Cubes with "the cake is a lie" written repeating around them with one line at the bottom that says "but our love is not." XD That last one is so cute.

Lawl Portal shirt whore, that's me. XD

Might wear the shirt I have with Endling's Red on it. Wish he'd come to Metro, but he just had his first con experience at A-Kon and is probably still exhausted. >_> Plus I'd probably say or do something retarded if I met him. Though I'd totally commission something from him. @_X That would be adorable/awesome I bet, blonde-candymongerer or his BFF maybe.. Heeee now I wanna do it but I don't have a Paypal, fuck. >_> MIGHT get one. At some point. Eventually. e.e If I feel like it.

And if I don't get distracted, which keeps happening. XD

Yesterday I got McFly to 100, woo, and Squish is at like 80 or 82 or someshit. Training with that idiot Buck in Stark Mountain = shitty Claydol but also infinite healings and all double-battles = win. I might just leave Stark Mountain unfinished so Buck will always be there to cater to my training needs. XD

Buck pissed me off though. T_T When I first met him, he was like LOL I SAW YOU BEAT FLINT AND VOLKNER OMG UR TOUGH YOU BEAT AN ELITE and I'm like Dude, what memo did you fucking miss, I'm the CHAMPION. T_T I beat ALL FOUR Elites like ten minutes before he said that, the cheeky/oblivious fuck. So I have a vendetta against Buck now apparently. Against him, and against his fucking uuuuseless Claydol.

I trained like a motherfucker before going through the League, my boys were already all 65 or higher by the time I got to it, so having to deal with my rival/friend, FUUUUCK, to fight Flint and Volkner was a pain. T_T FUUUUCK YOU ARE USELESS.

I fucking love having called him FUUUUCK. XD It makes everything he does and says much more entertaining. Also I'm still pretty sure he and Crasher Wake are getting it on in a pedo/BDSM kind of way but that's a whole other story entirely. >_>;; Also Lucian is flaming.

And the Battle place is FUCKING UNFAIR. How the fuck is it that I don't get to keep my items, but a fucking Cloyster gets to keep its Leftovers AND KEEP USING PROTECT/DIVE?!! FUCK. I want to punch some douche at Nintendo for doing that, that shit is unfair, knocking my boys down to level 50 and banning me from using or giving them items and then LETTING THE OPPONENT USE HOLD ITEMS?? Weeeeak. So in spite of how hilarious getting CP in the Castle is, I don't know that I'll be going back to the Battle place any time soon.

Not that I should be anyway, should be focusing on training. >_> Squish needs to get to 100 and then my team will be pretty set. Five spaces on it, anyway, Bessie, Pherraoh, Squish, McFly, Jelly and someone else.. Possibly Reptar or Smirksy or Dukey. None of them are ideal, but it'll probably be Reptar, maybe Smirksy..

In other news, worked on the Andy wig yesterday woo, the yarn is about half done now. Got distracted from the closet and EduPsych with washing every bit of clothing I own, because I realized that when I finished the closet I'd need to move the chair over there and set up the cosplay station, and the chair had a bunch of clothes on it, so I washed them all and they're in the dryer waiting for me. >_> That and training and the wig work is what I did yesterday, and today I have to do the EduPsych thing, finish the closet, finish with Squish, and hopefully finish the yarn-sewing.

..Yeah Firefox, freeze up a bit more, good call there. -_-;

Gotta head out to lecture in about ten minutes, meh. Doing okay in this class so far though, I think.. Gonna get our test scores back in lecture, I believe. Again, I'll be really surprised if I didn't do well.

TWO WEEEEKS!!

>_> Anyway, after finishing the yarn I'll need to sew that strip of fabric down over it, then sew that to the hat, and sew on the blue and white parts of the hat's base, and then get to work on the actual body of the outfit. The hat shouldn't take as long as it sounds, so I'm not worried about running out of time. Yet. >_>;

Got a tape measure at Walmart finally, so I measured myself out and should be able to get the body done right. I'm thinking I'll need to do the blue bit and/or the white shirt bit first, then attach the legbits and mittenarm things after the central part is done. Will sew on the buttons after, still not entirely sure how I'll do them, think I'll just sew on patches of white rather than trying to make button plushies or something.

The cosplay is going to be taking up the majority of my focus now that most other things are done/nearing completion, so yeah, don't think I'll run out of time or anything. Worst case scenario, though, I'll be sewing in the car on the way to Tampa, and in the hotel before Saturday.. Agh, gotta go now, vwoosh.


1:28 PM EDIT

Auugh so irritated. Got a 76% on the test, and I was expecting a B or C, so I wasn't too far off, but what really irritates me is that I'm looking over the test now and the majority of what I got wrong was from stupid mistakes resulting from not reading the questions carefully enough. e.e Hadn't slept much the night before and the time limit was making me nervous, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Will have to keep in mind that Lord Douchington LOVES trick questions and I'll have to read shit reeally carefully in the future.

This guy is starting to piss me off, srsly. Condescending motherfucker.. I understand the material but he just rubs me the wrong way, I guess. Like in the first lab, I couldn't remember how to do subscript and superscript in MS Word, can't even remember the last time I'd done that.. So I asked him and he said it was in the Fonts, so I checked the Fonts toolbar, because that's the only Fonts thing I've used in years. Didn't see any Subscript or Superscript fonts in there, as I expected, and told him that, and he came over and was like lol it's under Format at the top, and he clicked into that, and on Font, and checked the subscript box.

I was like Ohh yeah, because I have done it before, just not in years. I said thanks and he just turned to look at me and went "....You couldn't find that?"

And I thought "..The fuck, dude" and just pointed to the drop-down list of all the fonts, because he fucking said it was in Fonts, and I was like "Oh, I checked here" and he was like "....Right" like he didn't know what the fuck I was talking about. If he didn't know that you could change the fonts using that toolbar, he's the one who's fucking retarded, wtf.. If he'd said it was under Format I would have gone there, I rarely use the top bar in Word, I don't have all the options up there memorized. -_-; And even then, he didn't have to stare at me and give me that "Are you 'tarded" tone.

Like seriously, I was surprised by how he said it, people usually have more social grace than that. Based on his behavior and everything these past few weeks, I'd say he's pretty guarded about his ego, probably gains self-esteem points by reminding himself that he's oh so clevar and the people with whom he interacts don't know more than he does.

Haha that sounds so spiteful, but seriously, based on his behavior, that's my theory. >_> I can't stop seeing the world through DSM-vision anymore. I guess I expected that would happen, when I got into psychology, but it's kind of cool now that it's actually kicking in. XD Like on Mental last night, I dx'd what was going on and felt all smrat.

Though I don't like Dr. Jack too much. I know his boundary-pushing antics are supposed to be clevar and cool like House's, but the things he does.. Some of them are just fucking stupid, unethical, et cetera. Giving a psychotic patient a scalpel and license to potentially cut open his wife, HOPING that he'll recognize his psychosis and not do it? What the fuck, dude, so many things could have gone wrong with that.

If he was just a bit more psychotic than Dr. Jack suspected, the guy could have merrily chopped the fuck out of that chick. If he was hit too hard by coming out of that delusion and was too crushed by the realization, he could have easily stabbed himself in the throat and no one would have had time to stop him.

The "getting naked with psychotic patient" thing in the first episode was safe enough, it was to help a patient and was safe for everyone involved. But taking the kind of risk he took in the second episode, ugh, I'm still ticked about it. How the fuck are you gonna put a room full of people at risk based on a HOPE that a psychotic patient will recognize his own delusion, which he's been keeping up for seven fucking months straight? People could have died, the patient could have died, or people/the patient could have been grievously injured.. Christ.

I wonder if people get this way over the risks House takes. I love House, and his risks always sound ethical on the show, but maybe that's because I'm not a medical expert and his explanations for his behavior always sound good. But with Mental, I actually know the material, and it's pissing me off that Dr. Jack's explanations are kinda bullshitty half the time. Most people watching, who don't know about psychology, are probably oblivious to that, and probably buy it, like I buy House's explanations. x_x Now I feel compelled to tell the world that Dr. Jack's remedies, at least the stuff in the second episode, were pretty bullshitty.

But I'm gonna tune in next week anyway. >_> I can't help it, psych show ftw. Dx'ing the Shared Psychosis before they said it in the show was fun, I guess kind of like a med school student diagnosing a patient on House before the big reveal at the end, bit thrilling/satisfying, knowing you know the material that well. 8] Actually I've dx'd a couple House patients too, back when I was reading up on a lot of medical stuff. XD That was cool too.

Of course, they're just shows, so it's nothing to get TOO excited over, but still, it's kind of fun.

..I still wanna rant about Dr. Jack. T_T I ranted so much during the show. I'm nitpicky as hell. >_> I pretty much tore into everything he said/did. XD I bet MDs do that for House, I now understand their frustration..

I mean seriously, three-legged races with patients, that isn't as necessary for doctor-patient trust as Dr. Jack suggested and in fact may fuck up the doctor-patient boundary line, if people get too close/friendly with their doctors. It's a peculiar relationship, between doctor and patient.. It's hard enough to get the trust factor down without throwing added wrenches into the mix.

His work in episode one was fine, I think.. Again, getting nakey with the nakey psychotic patient to gain his trust and calm him down from that situation was good. Re-evaluating his age-old meds to help him find a better balance and higher level of functioning, keep him out of an institution when he was already so high-functioning, and reunite him with his family/his family with him, also good.

Taking patients out for an unscheduled trip, not so good. It looked all fine and dandy on the show, but in reality I bet at least a fourth of the patients would have been mehh about the abrupt change in the schedule to which they were adapting.

But it seems like in the second ep they just went over the top. Doing three-legged races without even informing the staff ahead of time, formula for disaster. Letting a CLEARLY PSYCHOTIC patient have a SCALPEL and encouraging him to CUT OPEN HIS WIFE just to prove a point to the wife and see if he'd come out of his delusion, FORMULA FOR DISASTER. If I were that admin chick there, I'd have fired him for that shit. People, including the patient he was trying to help, could have died. Risks and bending rules are fine if it's WITHIN REASON and nobody's at risk to get SHANKED by a PSYCHOTIC PATIENT. How useful is it try helping a patient by forcing him to completely shatter a delusion he'd has for seven months in a high-stress situation and arm him with a scalpel when you do it?

..XD I can't believe this is still bothering me. How long have I been ranting about this? This entry must be so long now.. And I bet I'll keep doing it as the show goes on. ::makes tag for it:: >_>;

I'll stop now though. >_> More to come next week I guess..

Now, back to the previous topics. XD;

TWO WEEEEEEEEEKS.

Haven't told mother and father dearest that part of the trip involves meandering through the streets of Tampa. >_> Don't intend to, either. Pretty sure they'd spazz. XD

But the two of us are gonna have a heavy-duty flashlight and pepper spray, and it's only about a ten minute walk.. Might even find other conpeople to walk back to the hotel with. Surely not everyone will be driving, so there SHOULD be other people to walk with. We should be fine. >_> Might post about it on the forums to ask if a group wants to get together for walkin's. It might not even be that late, if we get bored at the rave or something we could be leaving early..

Haha still amused that we're gonna be Raggedy Ann and Andy packing pepperspray and a heavy-ass flashlight and self-defense teachings. XD Fuck yeah, hardcore.

I wonder if either of us will even be dancing at the rave. >_> I seem to have a history of just running around. Ehehehe. XD Hopefully I won't ditch my bag and roll around on the floor this year..?

We should learn some kind of ragdoll dance. >_> That might be great, just doing some non-ravey ragdoll dance all around the room. Pity I don't know how to dance. XD Could make it up as we go, we'll look adorable doing whatever we do, dressed as the Raggedys.

Though earlier in the day, at the Platinum panel, I'll probably be pottymouthing it up a bit as Andy, kicking ass on people. >_> But it'll still be adorable, Andy actually having a sailor's mouth to go with the outfit. XD

Think I'm gonna make a list of the shit I'll be carrying around in the Tsukiko bag wherever we go. For example, Saturday I'll need to make sure I have the flashlight, pepper spray, and perhaps a few cosplay-repairing things on hand.. May buy a smaller container for carrying those things around, need to see exactly what I'll be carrying to know if I need a container or can just use the pockets in the bag.

Don't want it to be too heavy.. Will need to plan out when we'll be at the hotel and what I'll need each time I leave there.. e.e Flashlight is kind of heavy.. Want to be lugging it around for as little time as possible.

Mother's giving me a hundred bucks for the trip, early b-day present. 8D Hurrah. Been saving so much, for so long, I think I'm gonna go a bit batshit with spending. >_>;; I don't intend to spend everything I bring, but better to have and not need.

Ooh, note to self, soak a strip of fabric and tie it around your neck before the Zoo Friday, evaporating water will help keep you cool in the heat. ....Other note to self, find a strip of fabric. e.e Should have some left over from the cosplaywork.

Feelin' pretty good today. 8] GTFOin' tiems.

Squish and McFly are in the 70s now, yee. 8] Beat the League soo easily, didn't even really need my 100-level guys I shooped over from Diamond to help.

I'm thinking my final team is gonna have Pherraoh, Jelly, McFly, Squish, Bessie.. And someone else. Not sure yet.. Not even sure about Jelly yet. Might let Dukey hang out on the team for a bit, though I don't like the idea of having a starter in the gang..

Tomorrow I have to do the EduPsych discussion topic and clean the rest of the closet. Got distracted from the closet today with pokemans and applicationwork and Walmart, but tomorrow I'll do that, and the EduPsych thing.. And finish up with trainin' mah boiz, then shoop everyone over to Diamond. I loove having both Diamond and Pearl and two DSes to trade between, so totally worth the money for my pokemans. Once I get my team settled and work out how best to battle with them, they'll be like goddamn unstoppable.

I really need to finish the cosplay, of course, but sewing is something I can do while doing other things, EduPsych not all that much.. Pokemans I could, but I just want to get that done with so I don't need to be thinking about my team while prepping for Metro. And I need the space to lay out the outfit and such. Should at least do something with the hat/wig though..

Yee. 15 days. This is gonna rock out loud.

Bessie's done, 40+ levels in two days aumgah. Have to finish McFly and Squish, taking those two with Dukey and probably Bessie and Mewtwo and someone else through the league at some point later.

Closet is still like 90% done, got caught up in Edu Psych work and pokemans and AwesomeUnlimited stuff yesterday. Today I'll finish it and wash some clothes and perhaps get rid of this chair, there just kinda isn't room for it here.. It's cozy and all but I rarely use it for sitting, in fact I think I've used it like twice for sitting, other than that it gets clothes and stuff dumped on it and promotes the continuation of my lazy. T_T

Miight stick it closer to the TV and keep it for vidya game purposes, depends on how the cosplay station works out, both MIGHT fit, not sure.

Gotta get a shower and head out to class now, though. WTF did I need from Walmart other than some kind of candy/dessert..? e.e



12:26 PM EDIT

Also, gonna bring my notebook and Metropapers to class. e.e Gonna plan some shit out. I'm gonna be really surprised if I didn't do well on the Bio exam, I knew most of the material immediately, should be alright.. So I should be fine dicking around in class a bit. >_> Shit is important, only 16 days left..!

So Bessie gained about 27 or 28 levels yesterday. 8] Now he's at 84. Need to shoop a couple others over to Diamond for speedtrainin's later.

That's about all I got done yesterday though. T_T;; Heh.

But I'm thinking I should get it out of the way.. Though logically its deadline is further down the path of stuff I have to do.. e.e Meh. I'll just get him done, and then I'll worry about the other two later. Have to do something for EduPsych today and do some fucking room-cleaning and/or cosplay-working.

Just remembered that to do the hat I don't technically need a workstation. Guess I got caught up in thinking about the body of the outfit, but goddamn, I be an wetawded. e.e

Gonna clean this fucking room today, and do something, ANYTHING, with the cosplay. 19 days, holy hell. They're like flying by now..

Got the outfit plan laid out for Metro last night, woo. Also just remembered last night that I haven't been training my Pokemans team. >_> Oops. Not gonna be battling with Platinum, I haven't even bothered to finish it yet, but my team in Diamond still isn't ready and somehow I forgot that, in the midst of school and cosplay thoughts and other fun things.

Need to fix it, I wanna be able to school people's asses as Andy on Saturday at the Platinum thing. >_> Man I should restart Platinum and name myself R. Andy so people's games will say that in the record of losing to me. XD How awesome would that be?

So I gotta have my trainin's going while cleaning and such today. Also have some stuff to do for Edu. Psych, bleh. e.e Can put it off to tomorrow, I guess, but.. Meh, shouldn't.

So, yes, gonna assess the pokemans situation. Vwoosh!

Recychedelic ftw.

Studied a bit for the Bio test.. Thankfully it's on a Scantron so, eh. >_> Not all that worried. Besides, the lowest score is dropped, and I actually understand the majority of this shit.

I just keep getting distracted with awesome thoughts of.. Other things. XD So I'm hoping I won't be spacing out during the test thinking about those other wonderfully OOC things.

Gotta go get ready now. Only gonna get 40 to 56 minutes to do the actual test, ugh, damn it teacher.

Hope it's not the creatures from aboove! >_> Fuck yeah, Blink-182's Aliens Exist is so rad.

Planned out a good deal of the Metrocon schedule today. 23 days homies. 8]

Norwegian Recycling is also fanfuckingtastic. Recychedelic in particular is one of my favorites recently. And Gloria's version of Boogie Wonderland keeps getting stuck in my head. I had no fucking idea that was what her song was, until she actually sang "boogie wonderland." XD I felt so retarded in the theater, haha.

Gonna see Night at the Smithsonian tomorrow with Ben, should be fun. Been a while since I saw him, fucking fiinally we can hang. Always seems like I have one thing or another going on. x_x But, this time mother dearest rescheduled kidnapping me to the weekend after next.

As I mentioned in the previous entry, Educational Psychology and Biology have started. Biology has been kicking my ass. Not because it's terribly hard yet, I just always seem to be half-asleep in lecture. Once it was part of a 42-hour awake-fest. Shattered the fuck out of my old record for consecutive hours awake, which was 37 I believe. >_> Hell yeah.

First test in Bio is Wednesday. >_> Will study Tuesday.

Educational Psych is going well. Teacher seems to enjoy a Wizard of Oz theme, so I decided if I were going to be part of the Wizard of Oz, I'd be a flying monkey. Now I refer to everything in that class as monkey stuff. I monkey'd up a kick-ass writing assignment for that class earlier, it was pretty awesome. I think online classes are my favorite kind thus far.

I still have done almost nothing with this room and that angers me. Tomorrow, though, after the movie. Or else. Yes.

I seriously need to finish it and set up my cosplay workstation, because that Raggedy Andy crossplay isn't gonna finish itself. e.e There is work to be done, bitches. I have so much sewing to do.. I can still do it in the allotted time before Tampa, but only if I fucking clean up the room already.. e.e

Got caught up in 8 Out of 10 Cats for a few days straight recently. Now occasionally my thoughts start talking in Scottish or British. T_T;; That's what I get for marathoning a British comedy statistic show.

For right now, though, I think I'm gonna go back to writing out this Metrocon plan stuff. Still need to schedule out some times for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Saturday and Sunday are done, yee. 8] Gonna be so awesome.

Hmmmmanyway.

Not doing JACON. Just looks too stupid this year. e.e Site has been pissing me off for like a month at least, and I didn't see a single panel that interested me. Plus of which, the drive just pisses me off. T_T

And their Dealers' Room isn't really worth it anyway. Dealers' Rooms have stopped being a thing of fascination for me, it seems.. Maybe I just need a new anime fixation or something, who knows.

Metrocon's Dealers' Room is soo big. >_> I'll just nix the JACON spending money and put it toward that instead. 38 days to Tampa holy fuck. SO FUCKING EXCITED AUGH. Need to finalize the schedule for what to do down there. Need to clean my damn room. T_T

It's still just these two little bits and I just don't feel like iit.. But I need to get that cosplay done goddamn it. T_T Ugh it's making me twitchy. Tomorrow, or else.

School starts Monday again. Biology and Educational Psychology, yee.

Oh, in Platinum, need to go chill at Panera for a bit and get that damn key. e.e Damn it Rotom, being so fucking cute. And damn it, wi-fi, for not being Nintendo compatible.

Also I seem to have an odd fascination with MJ's "Thriller." It just entertains me so. XD I wish I could learn that dance, but alas, I am far too lazy, woe is me.

Scrubs finale had me squeeing all over the place. Gonna be really pissed if House's finale goes without anyone realizing Kutner was murdered. Because he fucking better have been murdered or they just killed him off for no fucking reason other than his actor GTFOing. >.O THOSE are the THINGS that up-set me, saith the Hatter.

Also, I'm gonna get HeartGold when it comes out next year. Just because of the Hitchhiker's ref, the starship Heart of Gold. 8] I'm gonna call it Starship because the name HeartGold has a bad case of the 'tarded. At least Starship reminds me of hippie stuff, yee.

Also I think I'd fucking punch someone for a Yakko plushie.

>_> Guess that's it. "G'night everybody!"

I fucking love Dr. Cox.

Also, JACON has angered me. e.e Apparently to enter the AMV contest you have to pre-order a weekend pass and I'm like wtf, fuck you. I'm only going one day, JACON is not impressive enough for me to spend fifty bucks just getting in, even if it is their last year. 'Tards don't have the greatest con ever, dunno how they went around trashtalking other cons, wtf.

Think I'll go Sunday, only $15 for nine to three. Just gonna mess around in the Dealer's Room a bit, not interested in their panels, not that said panels are terribly organized anyway. Apparently you have to sign up for the OC Cosplay Contest at 3PM and the contest is at 2PM the same day, HA. XD

Every time I hear Welcome Home I want to see 9. T_T Fuck.

So I have a test Thursday I haven't studied for, and a final project due Thursday I haven't started. 8] FUNTABULOUS. Went to CVS to stock up on Monster and ended up spending like $5.31 and RAIDING THE FUCK out of their Easter stuff. The Monster was discounted too, even, two for three bucks. XD It was a good haul, in addition to that I got two twelve-count packs of bunny Peeps which are fucking delicious after being nuked in the microwave, a purple bunny Peep plushie, two 1.5 ounce solid chocolate bunnies, and a white scented bunny plushie with jellybeans attached to it. Fucking awesome.

Damn, I'm a pottymouth. 8D

Um.. Not much else to say is coming to mind. >_> I am going to do more with my fucking room tonight or else. T_T
