Hyper Little Thoughts

*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.

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*

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. )

I am cool.

The end.

Not only am I going to the Reeling Film Fesitval tonight, I have a quasi-date afterwards! HELL FUCKING YEAH!!!

No, I did not die from the worlds biggest hangover. Just tired. But I think I might go back and delete that last post. Damn, that's bad. Sorry LJ friends with the drunk!Spam.

So, the reason I got so snockered. After class last night, I decided to stop into Gentry for a drink, completely forgetting that it was Halloween. So I went in, and the place is *packed*. I stood in line for about 10 minutes at the bar, only to see Fernando running back and forth because he's the only bartender. And Arbin was the only one cocktailing, and at the end of the bar there's a mountain of dirty glassware. So Fernando sees me, and asks if I can do him a favor. Of course I said yes. So, I wound up washing dishes and bussing tables for about two hours while the person who was *supposed* to be doing it but got drunk and abandoned his job was singing with the entertainer. Worked out nicely, though. I drank for free, they tipped me out at the end of the night ($80 for two hours of work? HELL YES), and then they took me to Charlies and pumped me full of whatever liquer I could hold. [as a sidebar, I can never drink Jeigermeister again - I choked on my fourth shot and coughed so bad, it came out my nose. just the thought of *smelling* that stuff right now makes me wanna yak] I wasn't as bad as I have been, but I was pretty bad. Whatever; I had fun. I deserved it - the past few weeks have been pretty shitty.

Oh, and another cool thing - because I did so well last night and helped them out, they want to make the door man on New Years Eve. How cool is that?

And now I'm off to shop at Target. See, when you take school out of the equation? Life rocks.

Okay, I'm still kinda new to this apartment thing, so I could use the help of those that know:

My next door neighbor has apparently bought or discovered how to work his stereo. The past three days, now, I've had to listen to the thumpa thumpa of really bad dance music or really high-pitched rap music. The WALL is vibrating. It doesn't really bother me too much, because I'm not home very often. But when I am home, it's constant.

Should I be "that guy" and say something, or just deal with it? I mean, it's not like I'm living in a dorm anymore. Why should I have to live like I am?

EDIT: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH now it's 80's music!!!

So...We went shopping. I actually went into Prada and looked around. Found a few things that I liked, but not enough to spend even 1/5th of the cost for it.

I did spend quite a bit (for me, anyway) at Nordstrom. Bought a beautiful baby blue cashmere sweater, a cool corderoy derby hat, and my new favorite cologne, Bvlgari. Then we decided to dress up and go out, afterall. So we ran into Beatnix to get costumes really quick. And we're about to eat and head out.

Pictures tomorrow/Monday.

Laters.

Happy halloween!

Yeah. Still obsessed. *sigh* I'm considering splurging and actually buying the album. But I also really want Cinderella on DVD. Or maybe I'll be good and not buy anything at all, open up a savings account, and save some money for a rainy day. That would be the smart, wise, grown-up thing to do. beat.

Just got home from work a bit ago. I hurt so much that I had to take a cab home from the El, and I only live about 5 blocks away. Kind of lazy, I know, but gorram did I work my ass off tonight. It was nonstop from the time I got there at 3 to the time I got my break at 11pm. Tonight was the mayor's annual Halloween Ball. I made $25 in tips for bringing a table a tray of cosmos. Gotta love the rich people.

I'm kinda blue tonight, but it's probably because I'm so damn tired. And the fact that it'll be Halloween in three days, er, two. I'm not doing anything special at all. I used to *love* Halloween, but this year I just can't seem to get in the spirit. This icon is about as skeery as I'm gonna get. Kinda makes me a little sad.

Ah well, I'll feel better in the morning.

Note to self: CALL VINCE!

Author’s Note: This is my latest WIP, and it’s coinciding with my last year of college. I may or may not get to update very frequently – but I have no plans of discontinuing or abandoning it, so if you’re patient – there will be more. Also, this is somewhat AU in the sense that Dawn doesn’t exist, and Adam was never created so the initiative is still around for the time being. Also, a big thank you to the official L2bL beta, kittypoker1.
