Adventures with Toaster Strudel

Okay, so I said I would post every week....

...

...........

.....

... it kind of didn't happen. Sorry? I just didn't have anything to blog about. Seriously. What was I going to write about? My adventures in doing absolutely nothing? Or my life as a nocturnal bum? Sound incredibly boring, even to me and I'm the one living it!

Anyway, I finally corrected my sleeping schedule. I only slept an approximate amount of three hours before going to court (no, I did not get arrested... seriously) and then spent the day walking in the sun. I would give details, but ehhhh...

So that night, I knocked out at 9 PM, and woke up the next day at 12 PM, which is a lot better than 3/4/5 pm, believe you me! So I've been continuing the pattern in hope that my sleep schedule is somewhat normal by the time the Spring Semester starts.

Heh. Me and "Normal" in the same sentence. It's hilarious!

I've also started writing again, which is fucking awesome for me. My vocabulary has started showing up again (it made a brief recession) and my strange sentence OCD has once again flared up, so I hope to be done with a rough draft by the end of this week. After that I just need to beat my writing into submission (it sounds painful, don't it?) and then to edit, polish, bronze and shine my final draft. (Although, knowing myself, I probably won't finish with the editing until after the polishing and that will just screw up the bronzing and I'll end up having to spit-shine, which might not end well...)

During this awful, inconvenient stint as a creature of the night, I have been entertaining myself by reading The Devil's Panties (Not Satanic Porn), which is hilarious webcomic! I love it! It's made me stay up 'til five AM reading. Seriously. The link is in the Click-A-Link section. It awesome. : )

Also, Toaster Strudel is awesome. :D

Okay, must leave. The apples are calling! (For some reason I've gained a strange fascination with apples, blackberries and Toaster Strudel, I'm not sure why... Hmmmm....)

Soul-Eating Lawyers and Spartacus

Gosh, I have not posted in awhile. Which is really weird, considering that I have not been doing anything since the new year. My mid-January resolution- post at least once a week! Lol!

Although, recently, I have been abusing Tumblr, for some unknown reason. The shine is rubbing off real fast, though. I still like it, it's like Twitter- but a blog! Lol

Anyway, since I have absolutely nothing to do during the intersession semester at my college, I am not doing anything academic related. Apparently, my house took this opportunity to decide to devour my soul. Literally.

Okay, maybe that shouldn't be taken so literally, but it's bad and getting even badder! I have this habit of going to sleep at 4 AM and waking up at 2 PM or even later! I'm becoming nocturnal, which is absolutely not a good thing since I cannot do shit during the unholy hours of the morning. Thankfully, I can fall asleep before the ass-crack of dawn, but this is doing me no good. Bleh. I mean, I like sunrise and all, but I hate being awake for it. I'd rather have it videotaped and watch it at my leisure.

Truthfully, I cannot wait for the Spring Semester to start. So I have a reason to actually get out of my nocturnal shell. I mean, my friends can only go so far, because I love you guys (people I actually know, in person) but I refuse to see or be in contact with you for 12 hours straight. I'm sure you would not either! So don't look at me like that! I still love you, though! : D

Back to the real problem... someone make me stop!! : / I don't like being nocturnal! The only reason for me to be nocturnal is if I were a vampire- but vampires don't exist! I'm blurring the realms of reality and imagination and I blame my soul-eating house. I'm becoming soulless, kind of like a... Gosh, might as well become a lawyer. I mean, I'm slowly being drained of my soul, whilst immoral and having no values, and I'm already a bit of a whore... yeah. Law school here I come?

On other news: I finally hooked up my WiFi! Yay! So I can play my iPod games without having to hold it up in a awkward neck-killing position near the window! And now the neighbors won't look at me with those black "WTF" faces! All is good in the realm! Unicorns may drink alcohol and Santa Claus is real for the next three hours!

Recently, I have acquired a taste for HBO and Showtime programming. I've been marathon-watching True Blood in quick succession and yesterday I started with Spartacus: Blood and Sand, which is an epic show! All of you must watch it or I shall take the booze away from the unicorns!

Gosh, lack of sleep has gotten to me.

Bye.

I don't hate any of you all! Kinda. : P

Meh...

"Bitch, I'm a Spartan! Bitch, I'm a Spartan! Bitch, I'm a Spartan!

It means I don't give a fuck!"

Anyway, after that musical interlude (courtesy of my new favorite rapper, Keys), it's fucking cold. Like non-california cold. I'm okay with the rain (I love rain!) but the cold pisses me off. As I type this at 1 am on January 3rd, it is 46 degree Fahrenheit. I hate it. Coldest winter I can remember (although, truthfully, I didn't pay much attention to the weather last winter, decathlon and all) and it's pissing me off.

Although the pissed off thing might have to do with David getting me sick, but whatever. Lol! I hate getting sick but I guess it's better now than in Summer. That happened once and I hated it! It's 90+ degrees and you can't do shit, trapped in your hell hole of an apartment and hyped up on gatorade... Gugh. Pisses me off, it does.

Happy New Year, by the way! Although, I started off the year pretty fucking bad... I haven't stepped outside my house (a combination of sickness and rain) and doing nothing but reading and a TrueBlood marathon. It's all good, though.

I recently read that Rainy left us. Sadface. : (

But I understand. I wish her the absolute best, and sadly we can't keep in contact 'cause she never gave an email (facebook, twitter, tumblr, etc.) and that sucks! (Rainy, if you're reading this- hint!hint!)

Okay, people. It's cold. Not typing anymore.

Lots of not-hate! : P Hahaha!

Merry Freakin' Christmas!!

Despite the title, this Holiday was actually pretty good.

Also, before I go on, Happy Holidays/Solstice/Christmas/etc, etc. Hope you had fun if you celebrated! And if you did not.... well that sucks.

Anyway, my mom and I ended up going to my aunt's house for Christmas eve, which was pretty damn entertaining. Since it was also my cousin's birthday, we were celebrating double. So there was cake, extra-presents and lots of pictures. Also, lots of candles on aforementioned cake- which was hilarious!

After the cake (which was delicious) and after the paparazzi hit, people got to open presents. This was mainly for the younger ones, who got lots of presents! I really hope my little cousin liked the monster truck I gave him! He was all happy with all the new toys and games he got! It was so refreshing to see someone who hasn't gotten this holiday ruined for them and that everything is so shiny and new, still. It literally put a smile on my face.

Like this: : )

I was also able to give my mom the little dolphin necklace I bought her. I was so happy I actually was able to give gifts to people this year! Normally, I can't even give anything to anyone 'cause I'm broke as hell, but this year (although i am now a bit stretched, money-wise) I was able to buy stuff for people! Haha!

Afterwards, we were coerced into playing Loteria for like three hours. I made and lost like five bucks and then recovered two. My cousin, however, made like eleven bucks! That kid is gosh damned lucky! Haha! Like I told him, when I buy a business, he's going to run it. Lol

Later, when we got home, I got to open the rest of my presents- which were awesome. In total (so far), I've gotten a beautiful watch, a stainless steel Swiss army knife, a Remington electric shaver, a set of Lady Gaga buttons, a thermal shirt, and a Fifteen dollar Spencer's girt card. I love em all! : ) I haven't raked in this much during Christmas since I was like ten! I especially liked the shaver and the knife! And my mom got me the watch as a way to remember her when I go away to New York or wherever I transfer to. It was so sweet. : )

Well anyways, I just wanted to wish all of my readers a Merry Solstice or whatever you guys and girls celebrate!

Have a great day and hope you open lots of presents! : )

Be My Poland, Please?

Oh dear. I've neglected my blog for so long! : o

It's been so long since I posted! Last time I did so it was four days before my birthday...

Which went great, by the way. Thank you for asking. Even though you did not ask. Haha! But yeah, my actual birthday landed on a Wednesday so I was unable to celebrate my birthday on the day it landed. I had to go to class. Which wasn't too bad. Afterwards I hung out with one of my best friends and went out to eat, so it ranks pretty high in the birthday scale. Later on, on Friday during my acting class Livie brought cupcakes to celebrate Ivan and my birthday, on which we gorged until I was as sugar-high as a five-year-old left unchecked in a candy store. I'm not kidding on how sugar-high I was. Then, on Saturday, my and my friends went to go watch Burlesque, which is a really good movie. mainly because of the music, but I digress. It was money well spent, until the people behind us started talking and I had to regulate. But it went well. : )

Finals were a certifiable disaster. Right after my birthday week, finals started. I had three essays to write, which I did. I had to bust some serious miracles to finish my paper on Celtic mythology and had to turn in my final essay late. I worked some magic (out of my seriously depleted magic bag) to finish my analyzation of Machiavelli's "The Prince" in one night. I had some serious sleepless nights. The first night I had no sleep, a final and then no sleep again. Up until Sunday, I was not afforded decent sleep. The only good thing about that week was my meetings with my group. Lol! They were awesome. : )

First off, on Monday, I took a few hours off to meet them and go costume shopping. The entire event was fruitless and we found nothing (except my Halloween costume for next year, but that's next year. Lol) but it was so much fun! And then on Thursday we met to practice in which Cliff bought us food, I pretended to work and we practiced- kinda. Then we took a whole bunch of pictures whilst posing on my mac. With my mac, not on my mac. Haha! After that, me and Sabrina went to the Hat. : ) Friday was our performance, which did not go as well as we had planned. But it's all good. My second presentation I had to find a replacement for my partner (who was sick and was unable to make it) so Livie stepped it and it went great! The professor was really impressed, despite the group issue we had previously encountered.

I'm seriously hoping I pass all of my classes! I messed up a bit, but at the moment, I am beyond caring! I just want to pass, so I don't have to re-do any classes! : (

So today was the Academic Decathlon Christmas Party- which is this gathering my former coach always throws for her former and current teams. Which is really nice of her, btw. Anyways, I was able to spend a lot of time with my former team mates, whom I all really missed! We've all just been so busy that we haven't had time to communicate! But it was all fun! I dazzled people with my skills at "Battle of the Sexes," ate some cherry tarts, and played a really hardcore game of "Uno." I'm not kidding when I say Hardcore. We were backstabbing one another and when one player managed to get one card we all teamed up against them. We made alliances, we made enemies, Mari was my Poland- it got crazy! Haha! It was awesome and I would so do it again! : D

Also, I so fucking excited! Coug came back from Yale! I was so happy to have her back that I visited her in the goddamn rain! Hahaha! I even slipped in her back yard cause of some issue with the roof- don't ask. We spent the time watching this documentary on the Deadly Sin of Pride, funnily enough. It's extremely ironic that particular episode was played on that day, seeing as we're both so vain. It was like the perfect episode for us to watch. Then we watched this show about Salon makeovers and criticized the participants- all in all it was very fun. Then before I left we somehow made a song using Garageband something very techno-y and rock-ish. we kept remarking on why we had not done that before so it might be something we wish to pursue... : )

Okay, my hands seem to be very tired from typing. Lol! I will stop here. Although I will try to blog once every two days, if not every day! : ) Now that I don't have anything to do! Hahaha!

Untitled by Nobody

I had my first audition today! : )

I auditioned for the ELAC production of "Stage Door" and for a one-act play by Woody Allen called "God." I really hope I get a part! I swear, I completely fell in love with the character I read for "Stage Door". The character's name is Keith and the director told me I was supposed to act like everything is about me.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I do that all the fucking time!! Haha! So I acted like I normally would- and they really liked it! Or so they told me. I really want the part!! : )

The second audition, which I did randomly, I believe went really well. They gave me a scene at random, so I ended up playing Hepatitis, the writer in Woody Allen's "God", which I read about an hour ago, and it is fucking hilarious!! It breaks the fourth wall, without really breaking the wall. Oedipus references, A Streetcar Named Desire, The Iliad, and a whole bunch of other things were touched on. I'm sure if I was looking and knew the more obscure references, there would be a shitload more!

I loved today! And Livie was able to audition, too! So we might be able to be in a play together! Cross your fingers for me!! Lol! I really want a part! I wonder by when they'll let me know...

Now for random videos:

Don't fuck with the Gaga! Lol! I fucking laughed cause of this video- so fucking much! It's hilarious!

Favorite Lady Gaga parody:

A Ke$ha parody:

Hope you guys liked the vids!

Also, read "God", you'll enjoy it! : )

Keep your fingers crossed for me!!

Hi! My name is Awesome, and I'm addicted to Staples...

Oh hell. I've really let my blog go. Haha!

Well truthfully, I didn't mean to. I've actually been thinking about what I want to blog on next, but truthfully, I have not had a chance to actually do it. I've just been so busy! I had to work on a 15 page play for my playwriting class and a five page essay on the "Epic of Gilgamesh" as a metaphor for psychological maturation for my Myth and Lit class. I've also had to read an insane amount of literature for my World Lit class. Needless to say, it was all horrible! I've been so stressed!

But right now, I'm taking a break and relaxing before continuing my Gilgamesh essay (which I must also edit and turn in tomorrow, late). I've also have to come up with research on Celtic Mythology for my 10 page research paper that's due a day before my birthday. : (

So break it is. Lol!

I got back my essay on Euripides' The Medea about a week or two ago. I was so pissed!! And it wasn't because of my grade, no I got an A. I was so angry because my teacher dared to question my ethics!! She wrote: "This is a good paper and a good analyzation of character motivation. I hope it is all your work."

She wrote that. I almost started shouting then and there. I'm not even fucking kidding. I would've started screaming uncontrollably and crazily until she apologized profusely. But I controlled myself and have not even mentioned it, since I still think I'll start yelling. That, and she's probably forgotten about it, anyway.

On other news, I saw the first part of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" last weekend. It was epic! I originally had my doubts, seeing as I have not seen anything after Chamber of Secrets for the sole reason that the movies ruined "Prisoner of Azkaban" for me. I really do not remember why, but I remember! Still, regardless, I completely recommend the new movie. They work everything in very nicely, and they skip very little, as far as I know. The last time I read the book was when it came out in '08 I believe, so if they did skip something, I don't remember it.

Anywho, since I'm reviving this previously dead post, I'll let you know. Haha! It is now Nov 25 at 8:54 pm.

I have realized that I have a problem. A very serious problem. . .

. . . I'm addicted to Staples.

I'm not even fucking kidding. Every time I go there I have to buy something, whether it be a new plastic file-keeping contraption, printer paper, binder or Post-Its, I spend money there!! It's becoming a huge problem.

I'm buying random shit I don't need, with money I should not be spending on shit I don't need, and I'm reaching the point where I might start drowning in post its. I could probably take a picture of myself covered in Post-Its, but hmm....

I might actually do it! You know, to justify my Post-It runs to Staples every other day. . . Hmmm. . . I have to admit, it's a titillating idea. . .

On other news, I had Midterm: The Sequel for my World Literature class- and it was horrible! I had to write two in-class essays: one on the difference between male-voiced literature and Japanese, female-voiced literature and another on the similarities between the Bible and the Qur'an. I thought the prompt on the female-voiced literature would've been easier, but no. It was a fucking drag. I couldn't write well at all and the fucking prompt was so damned confusing that I got lost and next thing I knew it, it was twenty minutes to 3 and I only had thirty minutes left.

Even less, when the prof decided to cut the class ten minutes without informing us. She just told us "you've gone over two minutes" when it was only 3. We still had another ten minutes left of class time, which I informed her of (nicely of course!), and she graciously gave us two more minutes to finish writing.

Needless to say, I was not happy. But, despite popular belief, I did not yell, insult or murder. I held my tongue and finish my essay on religious scripture, which is meant to be horrible regardless. Bleh.

Thankfully, I have my two-day Turkey Day break, for which I am forever grateful. I've needed this- I plan to sit, watch movies, facebook/youtube, and just generally veg. In the evening, I'm probably going with family for food, which is usually a nice event- I don't have to yell at my mom's side of the family. Hahahaha!

Hopefully I can do black Friday! I have my eye on a new pair of Doc Martens, some fourteen hole-rs. It would be epic if I can find them on sale (but very unlikely), so I'm better off saving off for Christmas. Haha! Maybe I can get them for my birthday. . .

What is everyone else (hopefully I'm not writing for no reason, lol) doing for Thanksgiving?

Okay, that's my life so far. I'll try not to lag next time! Haha!
