See, I just woke up and it's 10:30.

My first class was at 8:30. My second class started at 10:00.

Woops.

I have no idea how that happened. I set my alarm, and looking at it now, it's still on. So either I slept through it (impossible) or I turned it off and fell asleep and don't remember it. Which is possible. Just...Oops.

I had a lot of fun last night, though. Plus...Giovanni:) He's a performer. Successful, too, from what I hear. I walked him to his car...*dies* Without too much shallowness, let's just say my mamma would be proud. I don't think I've even *seen* one of them back home. Of course I'm exagerating; I just think it's really cool. It was kinda cute, though. Will, the server, came up to me and was like "I have a friend who wants to meet you, will you?" I said yes, so I introduced myself, sat down, and talked to him for a bit - okay, till closing. After he left, I went back and hung out wtih Arben and Luther and Will for a bit while we gossiped about people and I talked to them about a few...issues. That's a post in and of itself, if you're up for the gossip.

Anyway, both Will and Arben assure me that Gio's a nice guy and that I should go out with him on at least one date. (Arben's quickly becoming my screening process because he knows everyone.) Soo...looks like I'm calling Gio later to arrange a date for this weekend. Yay!

I still feel guilty about missing class, but...date!

Y3eah, I'm a little drunk, perhaps. Oh well.

Anyway, I confirmed tonight several things. A)that arben is my friend, not just my bartender. b)that i am worth knowing. c)that i am worth dating.

That's right. I have a date!!! Friday night. With Giovanni!!! *whoot* More info tomorrow when I am more coherrant.

Basicaly: new job and a date on the same fucking day!

Just got a job offer with a different catering company.

They want me to be a trainer. My "interview" is on Friday, and they want me to start work the following Tuesday. It's a $2 pay increase and I get my pick of days to work - I have top priority, because apparently half of their clients I've worked parties for before, and *they* want me.

Can we say...

FUCK YEAH!

That last post about the raw score prediction model for regression? I figured it out all on my own. Kinda makes me giggle that even the tutor had no idea what to do. So once I figured it out, I emailed a copy of the formula to her.

*pets f-list* It's okay. My response was pretty much the same as all of yours.

So, I finished my homework and got it in on time. Which means the agenda for this evening includes: more Firefly (I only have a disc left) rewatching, hopefully getting some work done on L2bL because I'm about to get death threats if I don't update soon, reading for class tomorrow morning, picking up and doing dishes, making dinner, and reading [livejournal.com profile] tabaqui's new stuff.

Speaking of fic - I've been out of the loop for so long, I don't know what's out there anymore. Any recs? I'm open to slash from Firefly, Ats, BtVS (hopefully S/X), and what the hell - rec me something new from a fandom I'm not familiar with.

I don't suppose anyone knows, offhand perhaps, how to do standard predictor and criterion variables in the context of Correlation and Regression, do they?

Okay, I totally am.

But I recently discovered that there's nothing better than a leisurely nap in the middle of the day when you know you have nothing else to do. I laid down about 1:00 and it's 5:30 almost now, and I just woke up. Right now I'm shakin off the drowsy, but all in all I feel a thousand percent better.

I also don't have class tomorrow, which means I can sleep till whenever. These are things that my body likes.

G just called to see if I want to go see Saw II. I think I'll pass on that one, considering just the box cover of the first one made me want to toss my cookies. Besides, even though not everyone there will have a date, it'll be majority-wise couples night, and I so don't need that right now. Not in my happy mood. So instead, I think maybe I'll stay home tonight, make some dinner, maybe write a little, watch a movie. Nothing strenuous or pressuring. I'm also going to try and not go the bar and instead enjoy a nice quiet night alone. (Please note that what actually happens may be quite different.)

and in unrelated news: Why did no one tell me about this?
For anyone interested, I *did* finish my project on time, and managed to get a 45 min nap before class. Which is why I am now skipping my second class for the billionth time so that I don't pass the hell out. At the moment, I'm watching firefly eps (Ariel to be exact).

I think it went well. Very well, in my opinion. But I guess I'll have to wait and see. And now...a little r & r.
I'm working on my history and systems project, which is due at 8:30 tomorrow, er, this morning. I'm almost done, but I'm having difficulty applying Adlerian Individual Psychology to the current state of affairs, because right now nothing is screaming "Individual!" in the news and whatnot. The only thing I came up with is more a popculture reference and it doesn't really reflect contemporary society. So before I can go to sleep, I have to come up with something to apply it to. It's 2:44 right now, and class is at 8:30. I may well still be sitting here trying to come up with it , come morning. I've been up since 8 am Monday morning, and it looks as if I'll be up till at least 10am Tuesday morning.

Have I mentioned how much school is teh suck?

Graduation - bite me.

Just got back from the party.

It was exactly what I needed. I met a bunch of really neat new people, had a good sober time, enjoyed myself, and met someone new. He asked for my number, and he's super cute. His name, haha, is Jesus. Can we say, Irony?

Anyway, I had a great time. I felt all growed up and classy standing there with my kiddy cocktail talking about current affairs and politics with men who value my opinion. *sigh* Again - just what i needed right now.

I'm headed out. Gonna stop and get some flowers for the newlyweds and get to the party. It's nice and cold outside, so I get to look relatively nice. It's stupid, but I wish that guy hadn't said that last night because all day I've been obsessing over my image in the mirror. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

*snerk*

So, I've kinda been on my own just hanging out all day now, getting some homework and apartment stuff done.

Which is probably what I needed, because aside from being down-right exhausted, I'm feelin a little better about everything. I really need to learn when it's a good idea to pull back and take some me-time. Because it usually does the trick, I'm realizing. So, happy face. I've still got about another 40 pages to read before the party tonight, and then I have to come home and write a paper and get some stuff done on my History and Systems project. I'm really trying for a not-all-nighter. The best way for that to happen is for me to not *gasp* drink tonight. I've done it before, I can do it again. Besides, after this weekend (i.e. last night) my body will probably reject anything with "odka" on the label. I might have a glass of wine, but other than that - I'm sooooo not drinking tonight.

As for the other thing that's going on - I know how to deal with it.
I stole this from [livejournal.com profile] blinding_sight who in turn stole this from [livejournal.com profile] rayne_y_dayze. I think it's a reall good idea for me, right now, with all that's going on.

I keep seeing bumperstickers declaring what people hate - little Calvins peeing on Chevy's logo - what have you. When did that happen? There was a time when people espoused their loves, not their hates. In defiance of all that is represented by the new brand of hate stickers, I shall list what I love - in no particular order, and omitting the obvious family stuff :-)

So, here's a list of the thirty things that I love and that make my life better. )

Now that I'm sober again, and as such in better control of my faculties, I've ammended last night's post to reflect the new, better way of interpreting these situations.

In other news, IT'S FUCKING FREEZING in my apartment, and there's no heat. I'm bundled up in about 12 layers under three blankets and I'm still cold. I'm also out of cigarettes, which means I have to walk the two blocks to get some. Outside. Where it's colder than it is inside. *cringe*

Yeah, I went to Gentry tonight, again.

Where I was called, by a "straight guy" a "fat slob". Not even queers have ever called me fat to my face.

This...now I'm at the bottom. Now I want nothing more than to curl up and die.

Fuck him! There's obviously something going on when a straight guy's drunk in a gay bar alone on a Saturday night picking on people. Some people call that denial; I call it being a jerk. What was really nice is that Arben and Fernando and a couple of the others came to my rescue and made him appologize to me. What I said to him is that I can always lose the weight, but he could never gain a good personality. I can't lie - what he said really did kind of hurt my feelings. But only because I call myself the same thing all the time; every time I eat or drink anything.

Saw Guys and Balls tonight. I laughed my ass off. If you ever have the chance - see it. It's in German with English subtitles. It's HI-larious. And sweet and just an all around good movie.

It was a little bitersweet for me, though. )

Got these questions from [livejournal.com profile] lunabee34 from the meme she passed around a while back. And now, my answers:

1. If you could meet any character from a book, who would it be and why?

If I could meet any character from a book, it would probably be Marius from the Vampire Chronicles. He's been around for thousands of years. THAT would be a kick-ass meeting. I'd talk to him about all the stuff he's seen and what it was like in Rome and Egypt and Venice.

2. Favorite scent?

Vanilla and apple cider. Together, seperate, doesn't matter.

3. Willow--annoying or everybody's favorite witch?

Tricky. On the show, she went back and forth between the two, and I generally dislike her in fic. I'm gonna have to go with annoying, though there are moments where I still love her.

4. Do you have any body piercings and where?

Sadly, I have none. But eventually I'm going to get my nips done.

5. What's something you refused to like on principle, but later discovered was really cool?

Lol. Lots of things. Tori Amos, for one. Firefly, LotR, Harry Potter, AtS, Buffy, Fic, and tons of other stuff. It's just in my nature. *shrugs*

I totally just caved and bought three tickets for the Chicago International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival! I've *always* wanted to go, but never could because of age/money/location issues. But now, I'm 21, live about a mile away from the theatre, and can afford to go. I'm soooo excited. I purchased a ticket for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night movies. Friday I'm seeing "Night Watch", Saturday I'm seeing "Guys and Balls", and Sunday I'm seeing Timbuktu.

Yay!

and again; YAY!
