BEDA day 17 and 18: on why i currently suck at blogging

i am on vacation.  that basically sums up my lack of blogging.  i'm spending all day everyday with 2 of mah best friends, and i am constantly getting distracted from the  things that i ought to be doing, or the things i think i'm going to be doing.

but otherwise, life is fabulous.  i'm happy, not horribly stressed, and life is generally good.  and i'm definitely not looking forward to going back to reality this next week, and gawd is it gonna suxso bad.

but life is fabulous, like i said.  yesterday i spent literally all day playing pwi, and leveled, which was exciting, seeing as i'd just leveled the day before.  then today we putzed around the interwebz. then after some begging/persuading/annoying, we played symphonia.  i had missed that game, so much, i had really forgotten how awesome it really is.

and now that i've attempted to blog today, i'm going off to pwi.  because i want to play.  the end.

BEDA day 15 and 16: 2 for 1 deal!

so while i technically missed yesterday, i don't consider that i did.  i spent my night waiting for a bus, and had shitty internets.  and i did technically write a blog, only i literally wrote it, not posted it.  and since my night was just uber unpleasant in general, i'm not remotely happy to do repeat that here.

even after all that stress to get out of michigan this weekend... well i'm back here, but in a different part at a friends house.  and it's rather wonderful, to be completely honest.  it makes me beyond excited for school to restart, because i miss these freaks way too much.

bein back here has completely thrown my sleep schedule off even more though.   my body genuinely has no idea what time it is right now, what with all this wonky travel.  and i'm not really tired, so this should be a fabulous day/week.

anyway, i'm in the middle of a murderous rampage, so i need to get back to that.  nighty night blogosphere

BEDA day 14: i miss my bed

in theory, right now i should be back in my bed at home, relaxing, possibly working on my thesis or playing pwi.  but i'm not.  i'm still in a hotel room in MI, eagerly waiting for our transport to be fixed tomorrow so we can go home.  cause boy do i have a shit ton to do tomorrow.

i need to finish planning my characters, find pictures of them, print those pictures, organize them, watch buffy, relax, pack (hopefully), buy snacks, etc.  it's shaping up to be quite the day tomorrow, and i really wish i was home now to be prepared.

but alas, i guess that just can't be.  anyway, the whole point of this is basically that i wish i was home now, in my bed, without anyone else.  i enjoy cons and all, but i could go for some true alone time.  and sleeping in, i miss that too.

thats all, the end.

BEDA day 13: cons and booze.

so today i worked a con.  and it was a long day.  this has been a small con, so it's fairly slow, and that means people aren't really buying anything.  i don't really mind, it just makes everything a wee bit boring and means we don't make as much money.

i'm rather tired right now, actually.  but i have a lot that i should do, so i'll get to that soon.  however, i do feel the need to write more than last night, since i'm no longer exhausted and sleep deprived.

last night i slept for roughly 11 hours, and it was just glorious.  then basically all day, i worked the con.  nothing really exciting happened, at least nothing that i'd like to report here.  it was a very long day though, and by the end of it, i could really have used a nap.

once we finished the con, we went to a liquor store.  let me just say, this was my first time going into a liquor store, getting carded, and buying alcohol.  i felt very accomplished.  and now i have a large bottle of schtuff to drink, and other things that i need to do.  stuff such as work on my thesis and play pwi.

but seeing as it looks like we're going to be stuck here until monday, because of car troubles, so i think i'll spend serious time working on my thesis then.  and on that note, i think that i will head on off to play my game.  goodnights!

BEDA day 12: sleep. now.

this is going to be the shortest, least interesting blog post ever.  nearly 37 hours of strait awakeness, and i need sleep, now.  but i promised myself i'd do beda, so here i am, beda-ing, quickly and tiredly.

after my last post i played pwi, ate, and then worked a con, after setting up our booth.  it was long and tiring, and not busy at all.  i don't think we sold more than $200 worth of merch total.

we just finished eating, my boss is already passing out in the corner.  and now i'm also going to pass out.  night internets.  i'm very much looking forward to almost 11 hours sleep.

BEDA day 11: effing long car ride x.x

well here i am, all the way from MI.  and let me just tell you, that was quite the experience of a car ride.  the drive from home here should have been around 5.5 hours, doing the speed limit.  well lets just say that my boss does far more than the speed limit normally.  so it actually taking us those 5+ hours was incredibly painful.  yes, we did make a couple of stops, for food and pee breaks, but 90% of our time was on the road.

unfortunately the van, which i am calling big bertha, decided that she didn't want to go any faster than 60 for a while.  on any normal road or day thats fine.  but we were on a high way where the limit was 70.  and bertha doing 60 was pushing it.  for a while she was happy to hover between 55 and 60, but then we stopped to pee, with an hour left in our journey.  when we got back on the road, bertha wouldn't go more than 40 or 45 without sounding very very bad.  so that last hour was really and hour 15 or so, and horribly painful.

it was at that point, realizing that the absolute most sleep i could get would be around 3 hours, that i said screw it, it's allnighter time.  so here i am, a blogging, before i see if this here free wifi is good enough for me to get onto pwi.  because i would very much like to go kill things after the long ass day i've had.

and on that note, goodnight blog

BEDA day 10: lacking a creative title.

"my boy builds coffins with hammers and nails,
he doesn't build ships he has no use for sails,
he doesn't make tables, dressers, or chairs,
he can't carve a whistle cause he just doesn't care."

points if you know what the above quote is from.  that song has been stuck in my head most of last 2 days.  not that thats a bad thing, but it's pretty much been on repeat that entire time.  hell, i'm listening to it right now.  because i'm cool.

i just realized that as long as my day has been, i haven't really done anything important or exciting.  it's just been long and tiring.  and all i want to do is drink a large margarita and watch buffy.  but i can't do that, because there are other people who wouldn't like that.  so instead i get to listen to my musics and write this lovely blog.  and i'm boozeless, since we drank all the margarita mix.  which makes me sad, but we'd had it for about 2 months, so it lasted.  and it lasted longer than the mudslide stuff, that was yummier and was gone far sooner.

anyway, my sleepy sleep deprived self is going to spend a few minutes putzing around pwi now, and then perhaps i'll head to my room and watch a buffy or 2.  i still have 14 episodes to go in this season, and like 20 of angel left.  but yeah.  thats all.

tomorrow i'll be in MI for a con, so i may have limited interwebz, but i am bringing my baby so i can blog, play pwi, and skype.  so hopefully i will be able to all those things like i hope.

ok, really leaving now.

BEDA day 9: it's only tuesday...

this already feels like it's been the longest week, yet it's only tuesday.  as you can clearly see, i'm not pleased with this news and realization.  that may be due in part to the fact that both of my sisters are current grump monsters.  lets just say that when they feel the need, neither one of them is horribly pleasant.

today was long, and pretty boring.  nothing much to report there.  though i feel like i should mention that this is my last week at my internship.  and it's not even technically a full week, seeing as we leave for a con on thursday.  which i am going to, so i guess technically i'm working a full 7 days this week.  therefore, when i worked ai, i worked a full 10 strait, including the con. i have to say that when i get a real job, i'm looking forward to having a regular schedule with days off.  because i like breaks.  especially my break.

with that comment we have unintentionally transitioned into pandora hearts territory.  and while i love ph, i wasn't originally intending to talk about it today.  i think i'll save a nice long spiel on it for when i have nothing else to talk about, possibly during the con.  we'll see.

a couple days ago i mentioned that i was missing cordelia from buffy the vampire slayer.  well last night i finally started watching angel, and while i'm only 2 episodes into it, i have most definitely gotten my cordy fix.  and i stick with my assessment that i do love her.  she's always just so straight forward, and kind of missing in a way, with the way she lacks tact sometimes.  i just have an unexplainable love for cordelia, and a part of that love ties into when she was with xander.  they were just so cute, and the copious amount of bickering they did always amused me.

well, i'm already yawning and it's not even all that late.  i guess  thats goodnight to mah blog.

BEDA day 8: my to do list

my to do list is very impressive at the moment.  and i need somewhere to document it, so here it is.

-thesis research
-watch buffy
-watch angel
-laundry
-packing
-more research, like organizing
-watch eureka
-sleep

thats the short, basic reasoning of my list.

on a separate note, i feel very accomplished that i've so far succeeded at blogging every day.  while i may not have anything of real importance to say on a daily basis, i have managed to keep on keeping on.  and thus i continue on my trek.  and now its time to get back to my thesis and eureka.

BEDA day 7: i just realized that i didn't have a title yesterday...

the most exciting thing i did today was drink a quart of chocolate milk in roughly an hour.  and it was delicious.  and it's kind of sad that thats the most exciting part of my day.

my day has been very frikkin long, and i still have things that i should really do tonight.  whether or not i actually will, well, thats still up for debate.  but i really really should...

for those interested, the thesis i keep mentioning is the show almost, maine.  and thats what i need to be working on.  i think... i forgot what i was thinking, i got hardcore distracted.

OOOO!  clueless is on!  but its okay, i'm watching me some buffy the vampire slayer.  also, i think its thesis working time, then shower time, and sleepy time.

nighty nighty interwebz!

BEDA day 6:

i just remembered that i should come do this, lest i forget and fail.

its been quite a busy day for me, i got a haircut, applied for a passport, went shopping, re-dyed my hair, and am now thesis-ing and watching goblet of fire on abc.  busy busy day for me.

in my thesis-ing process, i stumbled across these cute boots that i now need to make.  and i want to make them, like literally now.  but i don't think i can, because i need a sweater first.  and the great challenge will be finding a sweater in the color i want.  currently i'm thinking a purple of some sort, or some completely awkward polka dots.  we'll see what i can find when i go thrifting laters.

ah well, thats about all i have to say for today.  i do need to add that i made an uber yummy strawberry margarita earlier, and it was also very strong and quite large.  i ended up splitting the blenderful with my momma, and we both ended up with pretty much a glassful.  yummy yummy yummy.  only now the margarita mix is gone, and thats kinda sad.  but then again, we've had it for almost 2 months, sooo yeah...

BEDA day 5: buffy and cordy and dru, oh my!

while this post is technically going up after midnight, i haven't gone to bed and therefore its still today for me and not saturday.

today i finally got the chance to play perfect world and watch buffy.  its nice, having instant communication with my friends again.  yeah there are other forms of it than pwi, but with those i don't get the joy of killing random monsters.  i really should've worked on my thesis some more today, but i really thought it would be nice to relax for once, you know, revert to killing things and not stressing over school, which doesn't even start for another month.

and in the process of checking something i just accidentally disconnected from my game.  oops.  i guess i'll just have to relog and put myself in a place better to find me tomorrow.

i've spent my night watching buffy and playing on perfect world, so not much to really report.  but i do have to say that i kind of really miss cordelia, and her cordyness.  same with angel and his hot brooding.  however, once i finish buffy, i have angel to watch, so i'll get my fill of both of them then.  but going back to season 2, i miss drusilla, a lot.  there was just something about crazy evil vindictive dru that i adored.  i almost want her and spike to get back together, just so she could come back.  hell, she should just come back on her own.

well, i'm getting my hair cut tomorrow morning, before getting my passport.  i'm thinking of going choppy layers, and shorter bangs.  and the bleached bangs are going far away.  i think a year with them is more than enough.  plus, i still have the sections in the under-layers that are bleached and will remain purple.

and now i'm rather tired, so i think i shall head off to bed.  well once this episode of buffy is over anyway.  goodnights interwebz :3

BEDA day 4: i should go watch buffy

my back hurts, i'm tired, and i'm joyous that tomorrow is friday.  i don't think i could handle much more of this week, it's already been so long.  i think this is due to not really having a weekend.  don't get me wrong, ai was fun, but it was work and i didn't get a lot of down time.

and these next few weeks are also gonna be jam packed.  between work, errands, a haircut (woot!), another con, a meeting, and a road trip, i have a very busy schedule.  not to mention that in all of my free time i need to be working on my thesis.  but this is my break from it tonight, at least.

also, i need to find time to watch buffy.  i have season 4 sitting right next to me, but the only options i have for watching it are waiting to use the big tv and dvd player, or watching it on my laptop.  i suppose i could also set up my college dvd player in my room, but that would be, like, work.  eww.  but then i could watch in bed.  hmmm.  on my to watch list is also angel and black butler.  i have season 1 of angel waiting patiently, and i've already finished season 1 of black butler.  i made it through the first 4 episodes of season 2 before getting busy, but still.  i need to finish it.  and i will... eventually.

and now i should get back to my thesis.  but i think first i shall shower and migrate off to my room, so i can hunker down and watch some buffy also.  oh the joys of college life.  and i think i'll add a countdown of days till school from now on.  because i can't wait to get back there.

BEDA day 3: my nerd overfloweth

i'm tired and watching project runway.  i missed the premiere because i was in a cargo van driving to anime iowa.  so far, i don't have a favorite designer but then again its the first episode.  i do have to say that i'm sure that the puking clown shirt is from threadless, i know i've seen it before.

i just checked, and that is from threadless.  i knew it!

anyway, i didn't do anything really exciting.  i cut a butt ton of fleece at work.  i finally finished reading two towers, after a couple solid months of working on it.  i started return of the king today, also, and i'm hoping to finish it before school starts next month.  shouldn't be hard with the commute i have every day.

speaking of my commute, i only have a week and a half left of my internship, not including godaikocon.  speaking of which, i should get info about it, to get pumped.

and on a whole new note, i'm now watching the power rangers movie.  like, the original mighty morphin power rangers movie.  i have to say, i love this movie.  i don't know how you can't.  and on that note, i should get back to work.  or at least start it.

BEDA day 2: scrapes and splashes

today felt really frikkin long, and its not remotely over yet.  so, the short version of my day: doing inventory at work, going to the fabric store, hurting myself and playing in a fire hydrant spray, home, rest, and now internets fun!

by far the most exciting thing in that list was hurting myself and playing in the hydrant.  as we were driving back to work in this way to hot heat, me and my boss came across an open fire hydrant and people splashing around in it.  my boss decided she was going to run through it, and i decided that sounded like a good idea.  but me, being the klutz i am tripped as i got out of the van and cut up one knee while scrapping the other.  not that that stopped me running through the water, but it did throb for a while and is still red.

that was pretty much my day.  i am working on my thesis as i type this, or at least in theory i am.  also, i picked up buffy season 4 and angel season 1 from the library today, so now i at least have something to do while i'm researching and designing.  at least hopefully thats how it'll work.

well, now that i've been thoroughly distracted by how i met your mother, time to get back to thesis-y things.  and i've decided to also track my buffy and angel watching habits, should be interesting.

BEDA day 1: challenge accepted.

today is august first, in case you missed that memo.  but more importantly, its the beginning of blog every day in august.  and while this is something that i've heard of before, its not something i've ever considered doing before.

until now that is.

so here it goes.  i'm going to try and blog every day.  and just for clarification, my version of everyday is from when i wake up to when i go to sleep, though i will attempt to post within the traditional confines of each day.

anyway, time for basic updates on my life:
- this past weekend i went to anime iowa and worked for my bosses booth.  it was long, tiring, and fun.  plus, i got paid with cash monies.  so that was uber exciting.
-at some point in this fun time, i did something that hurt my knee, because now i can't bend my knee at all without pain.  to add to that, its painful to walk, and doing stairs is just down right not fun at all.
-i finally got up to date on pandora hearts, which updated thursday.  i liked it.  not the most exciting chapter by far, but it was nice when you consider whats happened inthe last 10 or so chapters.  plus, its nice to learn more about these characters that we've grown so attached to.  but at the same time, seeing elliot now makes me sad, so its a mixed reaction to the last chapter.
-in other news, i should be working on my thesis right now.  i have a meeting 2 weeks from tomorrow about it, and i have very little of what i will actually need to have then.  thank goodness i have this weekend free, and every night this week free too.
-for the category of things annoying me, i have to find time this weekend to go to the post office and apply for a new passport.  i had one, but it expired, and because i got it before i was 16, i have to get a whole new one.  oh the joy.  but from then on i can just renew it by mail when needed.

i want to track something over the course of BEDA, like i've seen other blogs do.  so i shall track my level in pwi and, ummm i'm not sure yet.  but i will think of something for tomorrow.

well thats all for now, since i should really get some work done on my thesis.

pwi level: archer -38 (so close to my fb39!)

today's fact is that the people on csi: new york are aliens.  and by aliens i don't mean people from other countries, i mean extraterrestrials.

i can haz firefly?

today i had a snow day, which is very exciting seeing as it was supposed to be the first day of classes for this semester and we got something like 20 inches of snow last night.  i love it, it looks so pretty outside.  though i'm mildly dreading walking to class tomorrow morning... oh well.

since today was a snow day, i just bummed around, looking at lolcats and watching firefly.  with that in mind, lets make todays fact about those things.  

the fact is this:  if you watch the series carefully, you'll see that the crew speak what appears to be mandarin on a regular basis.  it's really lolcat in mandarin.  fact.

now i'm going to go read another chapter of fellowship of the ring.

2.01.2011

i'm back, homesss.

I have decided to revive this old thing.  And I'm doing so by now featuring a completely inaccurate and fun random fact every day.

Todays fact is that Sean Connery and Fabio are really identical twins.

So there you go.


In other news, the midwest is being attacked by a blizzard/storm of massively annoying proportions.  While I love snow, and I have no real problem with this, I just want either class to be cancelled or for the snow to stop.  So there.  Now I'm going to read Fellowship of the Ring and eat vegetable chips.
