I've been stressing about being ready for Supanova - I still have a lot of art to finish and print and one of the things I was worried about was getting some stickers done (which I haven't even started on) but I was reading through the event guidelines and it appears selling stickers is a big no-no (vandalism risk?) so that's one less thing to worry about.

I was either bored or confused, or both.

I'm very hungry and I want Chinese food but we already ordered it yesterday.

I mean... I have other food I can make. But it's one of those kinds of foods where you smell it and then no matter how recently you've eaten it you want it again.

Some people eat Chinese food every day... we're eating Chinese for the 2nd night in a row tonight, but our excuse is it's leftovers.

We ordered way too much and still have some soup left... plus we added broccoli to it the 2nd night. Our takeout leftovers have a tendency to grow. O_O

Minus the percentage of that 1.3 billion that eat at McDonald's every day.

What the blessed fuck.
I just registered for my last semester of college courses. I had listed one senior class for my major that i need to take in order to graduate.

It. won't. let. me. sign. up. for that class. Because apparently, unbeknownst to me, there is a prerequisite course. Now, I'll admit, maybe it's all on me. Maybe I'm just stupid and missed some obvious marker that there was a prereq. But if there is a prereq for a required course.... shouldn't it also be listed as a required course?? After all, you can't take one without having taken the other, so it would essentially be required! Nowhere did I see anything about this. My advisor never mentioned anything, the signs plastered through the department with the courses offered say nothing.

I sent an email to the professor who teaches the class I can't register for, explaining that I literally had no idea there was any kind of prerequisite and asking if he could help me. Because right now, it's shaped like I should have taken a class that I did not know I needed to take, and because of that I will not be able to graduate. He hasn't emailed me back yet so there isn't anything more I can do (because what 4else could I do, walk over to the building and wait for him to come in? I don't even know if he has hours today), but now I'm awake and angry.

I'm also angry because I couldn't get a good sleep last night because I kept having nightmares that some stupid shit was going to happen when I tried to register. I intended to go back to bed after registering so that I could have at least a few hours of sleep. But fucking no. Now I'm awake, and angry, and exhausted, sitting here waiting for an email back, having no kind of power to do anything else.

One of our little perks for being in the military is tuition assistance up to 16 credit hours a year. I finally got around to working on my associates mid summer and found out after all my clep tests I'm like 6 credits away from my AA. Its kind of annoying now though cause come January 1st 2012 they are cutting TA to like $150 a credit hour, which means I'll need to out of pocket around $100 a credit hour to take those last 2 classes. Could be worse, the Marine's chain of command volunteered them for like $80 a semester hour. I can cover it since I'm overseas and get some extra pay to cover currency differences, but people stationed in the US are totally screwed.

I barely got any sleep last night, but it was absolutely worth it to stay up until almost 4AM talking and holding a girl in my arms. I like where it is going.

I barely got any sleep Friday night, but it wasn't because of a girl. More like a freakin' virus. D:

"All I ever wanted, all I ever needed is here in my arms, words are very unnecessary, they can only do harm."

I am in a weird position right now. We were only supposed to be friends (she's pretty much a lesbian, except with me TMI probably), but she has a lot of baggage... metaphysical type stuff that probably sounds nuts but I believe what I see, and it makes sense to me.

So I been helping her heal, and I got attached, and personal connections like that when dealing with wayward spirits and entities of this nature tend to be problematic, as you put in to much of yourself and energy work gets tainted. we'd been hanging out a bit to much and doing things that make people get attached... and I lost sight. It'd been a while since I had true feelings. I'm a friends with benefits kind of person, as I find it hard to fall, but human failings and that.

Four months have gone by and at first I helped, and then when she confessed attraction and that, well I think I lost my ability with her. Well monday she talked to me after I left for work from her place. Things seemed normal and fine. come tuesday she canceled her facebook, plus and twitter accounts. and won't respond to my txts. Which is fine and good on a personal level. I mean, she didn't mention why or what I did... it could have been me doing a security look up job on one of our mutual friend's accounts due to a hack and I took money from it (mainly cause if I didn't I'd not be eating)... but again its fine. I'm alright with her just being tired of me or what ever.. I'm a lot to take in even when someone doesn't have their own stuff.

Here's the issue... I been focusing on separating my affections and sorrow of her pulling away so I can focus on healing her again, even apart I can do energy work. And well I got a lot of information on what her ailment is, and I need her to know... but at the same time she obviously doesn't want to talk to me. But getting rid of this thing is her top priority. I wrote an email but, I haven't sent it. I edited out all the emo type shit my brain kept putting in there... its very much just an academic precursory bit about what I saw, what I think it is, and how best to deal with it moving forward.

Given that, I'm scared to send it... and part of me wants to abandon the energy work. But she is still my friend, but beyond that she is someone who needs help. I just don't know if I should say fuck it and send it knowing she'll probably delete it. Or if I should maybe go to a mutual friend who is also a magician and talk to them.

Dr Pepper all in my laptop keyboard. At first it didn't seem to be too big of a deal. But now the space bar is giving me some resistance as well as the a key and all o fthe keys down the left side of the keyboard. The space bar in particular is irritating me because i feel like I need to mash down on it. Time to replace him.....


Also tried to order dinner online using acoupon that was 10$ off purchse of 50$ or more, and when it got to the end the coupon didn't appear to affect the total at all. Kind of bummed. Hopefully they will read my desperate note under "Other comments or delivery directions" and rectify this.

Have you tried removing those keys? I clean my keyboard once a year. Though I was a bit scared the first time, especially with shifts and space, cause the little wires don't always want to click back into place.
