Sooooo tired, so tired tired tirededed.

UGH.

This month is going too slow for these reasons:

1. Went to my grad school interview on the 7th. Will not find out if I got in for another two weeks from today plus the time it takes for the mail to run. I wanna know now!
2. I want Star Trek (2009) out on Blu-ray NOW!!!!! It doesn't come out until the 17th. sadface for lack of drool-fest and action-awesomeness.
3. I want Top Gear Series 14 to start already!!!! But it does come out on Sunday, so it should be able to stave off the Star Trek craving for a bit. Hammond, how I miss you!
4. I want THANKSGIVING!!! After pigging out at my grandparents' last weekend (Grandpa's birthday), I'm craving even more country comfort goodness. And i want more than my weekend off from work.

Man if this month is slow, next month is going to be cra~azy!!!!!

Waiting waiting waiting. Fingers tapping, feet wiggling. ADD in full swing. I have no patience. Its been over a week since I turned in my Graduate School Application and I'm impatiently waiting to see if I got through the first wave of eliminations. The Orientation/Interview (O/I) is the second wave of the application process on 6 Nov. Of course, that means I still have another full two weeks until I know. So here I am, to jittery to read -- yes it is possible, no the world will not end -- typing. Its about the only think I can do to keep all of myself occupied. I can't promise anything terribly good or literature-worthy, since the only ideas popping into my head is fanfiction.

If anything happens, I'll let you guys know.

I've been busy. Best friend's wedding (not to be mistaken with the movie), moving said best friend, other friend had baby, and busy birthday month, just to name a few. I take my GRE on the 27th of this month. Nervous, but confident???

I should study right now, but instead I'm posting here because I'm really wanting to write. Therefore, I indulge this whim, then get to work.

I've been thinking that I should make more time for my LJ. Some reasons include:

1. Its unfair to my LJ that it gets ignored so much. If I can take the time to not post/stalk Riverside HQ and my DevArt account, I should throw a couple words up.
2. I'm trying to motivate myself to write more. So when NaNo starts up, I can use this and maybe one of my novels can be finished. Also, its just somewhere for me to write.
3. I doubt anyone reads this (especially people who know me personally), so if I want to rant, I really won't feel guilty. Also, it can be somewhere I can state my thoughts without censor (at least, that's what I'm hoping). If you do, and I offended you, call me out. Worst case is we say our opinions and walk away.

So, her I am, posting something.

Last night, Kit (le b/f) went to a bachelor party with some friends. It was nice getting him out of the house -- he's too much of a homebody sometimes. So Jerrett (roommate) and I started watching Avatar: the Last Airbender since he hadn't seen it and I own the entire series. The point is, my cats decided to grace me with their presences since I was sprawled out on the couch. Mina took her usual place on my chest and Inara on the arm of the couch. Suddenly, there was a raspy tongue on my toes. It was odd, since Mina is my toe-licker and she was on my chest. Inara actually had taken it upon herself to lick my toes. It was kind of exciting because we've been hoping that Inara would pattern more off of Mina (Mina's 3, Inara 1) and lick us when we present ourselves (faces, fingers and toes on my part).

And now, at 8:40 pm on Sunday, I lost internet. I fucking hate Charter. They FINALLY gave me credit because I just call in to report losing my internet for the day. And unfortunately we can't get any other ISP here. I think its the only bad thing about my apartment complex. GrrrrDammit.

But yeah, there's that. I guess I'll post this when I get internet back. Got internet back at 11:04. Shit, that was a while.

This whole working out thing kinda sucks. Sleep in and not have enough time to grab snackies and your fast metabolism makes your stomach eat holes through you.

*sigh*

I get to go home in 7 minutes. Then FOOD!

I did this because I was tagged on my Facebook, so I'm just going to put it up here too. Might as well since I haven't posted at all in months.

Here goes:

1. I was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma and lived there until I was 7. I spent all of my school breaks at my grandparents' farm until I was in high school. I pretty much grew up there. Despite everyone else's sentiments about Oklahoma, I still love my northeastern corner of that state.

2. For most of my life, I hated my hair. Its red. Sunburning and being pale were enough problems without coupling it with 'being different' in school. Somewhere between 8th and 9th grade and two school districts, red hair went from an oddity to interesting/cool. Now if I could change the whole sunburning issue....

3. When I was little, I wanted to be a fighter pilot, then a barrel racer, then a marine biologist, and now an animal assisted therapist. Hopefully my last choice will work out.

4. It took me roughly 7 years to read Anne of Green Gables. Once I did, I wished that I had read it when I got it in 2nd grade. That was the longest time I had a book and didn't finish the first chapter.

5. I have two younger brothers who I helped raise. They're mine as much as they are my mom's -- she gets more credit because she birthed them. They still call me 'mom' and I really don't have a problem with that.

6. I wish that I could pull off half the stuff my mom got away with when she was young.

7. My biggest pitfall with being a writer is that I'm too impatient when writing. I don't have enough detail in my novels. Most of the time when I'm rereading my novels, I end up editing them because they're too skin-n-bones.

8. I grew up in a musical family. My dad played trumpet, I played a little bassoon and everyone sang, including my mom -- who's tone-deaf. Even now, my days are off-kilter if i don't hear music.

9. My favorite form of punctuation is the m dash ( word -- word). I want to punch people in the face when they use it wrong (*cough*StephanieMeyer*cough*).

10. I have trouble relating to people around my own age. My mom always said I was <age> going on 45. I think its because of how I grew up.

11. I'm actually a rather blunt person and I really don't have much sympathy for people who can't handle the truth. According to Kit, that's one of my charms.

12. I dislike admitting that I have girly moments and tendencies.

13. I would rather admit that I grew up dirt poor and was homeless in a single parent household than say that I watch (certain) chick-flicks. See #12.

14. I'm a daddy's girl. When my dad wasn't there, I was Granpa and Unkie (Uncle Rodney)'s girl. I'm not my stepdad's girl.

15. I get inspiration from the oddest things. My muse is crazier than I am.

16. If I could, I'd be barefoot all the time. I blame the grass in my grandparents' front yard. I also have monkey-toes.

17. I hate showing weakness. I can rest when I'm dead.

18. I still don't understand why Kit fell for me. But I'm grateful nonetheless.

19. I didn't realize it until after I met Kit, but I've had the hots for the same guy since I thought that guys were useful for more than a punching bag. I recently realized that 'that guy' was Kit. My brothers laugh at me for taking so long to realize it.

20. I want to have my own wildlife sanctuary at some point.

21. I like juiceboxes. They were a luxury to me as a kid and now that I have my own money, its hard not to buy a pack when I'm grocery shopping.

22. Kit spoils me too much. I think he's trying to make up for 19 'spoil-less' years. I don't have the heart to tell him no, so I just ask him not to go over the top.

23. I'm an editing freak. I've gone through this list at least 8 times before I got to this number.

24. I want a library like Beast's in 'Beauty and the Beast', since I can't get the one the size of the Keep's library or Geoffrey as my librarian. (If you didn't get the Dark Jewel's Trilogy reference, its okay. That's just the biggest library I could think of with an awesome librarian.)

25. I like manual labor and getting dirty. There's just something about the pull in your muscles, the feeling of accomplishing something difficult and the generous dose of dirt, sweat and sometimes blood that makes me happy. Also, there're tools. :D

So, my boyfriend and I took in a kitten for our future roommate to train and make sure she grows up into a proper cat. Well, that'll happen if I don't skin her and turn her into a brown purse. Inara (the new cat) is driving me crazy. Our cat, Mina, was never this bad. Everything is a toy and by god, Mina is not one!

Though, I'm pretty sure that Mina's going to gut Inara before I do. She likes her sleep more than I do.

Well, I've done it. I've made a LJ account. I don't know if its a good thing or bad just yet -- the jury is still out. I mean, after putting it off since high school, I finally get one. I know most of my reason is to stop being a lurker, but I don't know what to do with it just yet. Well, here it is.
