Current Mood: *sigh* Sammy Emo
Song of the Day: "Lonely" by Akon

I'm listening to my iPod super loud because Joe is watching "Heroes" outside and if i hear Peter Petrelli's voice one more time i'm going to explode from the need to see him. That is how badly my withdrawals from TV are right now. And thus... we have achieved Sammy Emo... CRITICAL MASS!!!! (Critical Masi? xD) HAHA. I've been coming up with a lot of horrendous puns lately... which makes me want to reread The Phantom Tollbooth. That's the thing with children's books... they're so reread-able. I can't think of a single "adult" book that i would want to read over and over again... except maybe some books from Discworld, but that's about it. :(

TV has been such a large part of my life that i find i have all this excess free time without it... so i've just been doodling and coloring a lot which is kind of BAD since i should probably be concentrating on school or something? I feel like if i actually APPLIED myself i could be as smart as my brother, but since i don't... xD Apparently, being bored makes me want to doodle dirty pictures of my "Heroes" OCs...

Case in point. Oh, Smikey... you just wait till Eponine wakes up and realizes you two did the dirty while you were both drugged. I think that's why he has such a horrified look on his face. Any other guy would be like "Hell yeah. I just banged a fuckin' stripper, man." *sigh* maybe i should just go back to doing crossword puzzles or something. >_> I like nekkid Smike... nekkid Smike is effing hot. Also it is much easier to draw nekkid people than people in clothes. I really want to do a "Heroes" strip involving Niki/Jessica, Peter, and Nathan plus a conversation i had with Amy... but that would be somewhat complicated. If Sylar hurt Peter... but dammit i have developed an infinitesimal crush on Zachary Quinto... me and the bushy eyebrows man... *glomptackles wittle itty bitty Lahmi*

I had lunch with Ami today. That was fun. :) I haven't seen her in a long time. Yesterday i was sitting around outside having lunch because it was a GORGEOUS day and like i saw everyone and their mother. First i ran into Christine before class, then i got lunch and ran into David and Michael Feng... then i ran into Nolan and Christine (Again! xD) and then Andrew decided to crash at my table. LOL. I was supposed to be reading for section. It's okay though because one of the papers was written by my prof. for insect ecology last quarter so i already knew what the heck it was talking about. But Curtis crashed my section AGAIN. He's not allowed to do that! Like i said, that is my ALONE TIME with my super hot, totally gay TA. D:< i'm thinking of passive-aggressive ways to tell Curtis to either stop invading my space or ask me out... such as changing my FB status to "Andrea is wondering when you'll stop crashing her Behavioral Ecology section and just ask her out already." It would be even funnier if he replied with "wtf i don't even like you" ... assuming he replies at all. Apparently two of my three classes are with Shuttle Buddy next quarter because he has decided to become and EBE major. That ALSO upsets me. Why couldn't he have been in two of my classes back when he was single? BAH! As Ami told me the other day "I don't like the men in your life." To which i said, "me neither..." LOL.

Actually it's not SO bad. I had lunch with Andrew and Brian after mass on Sunday. That was pretty fun. They're cool dudes. Except Andrew kept going "OMG ANDREA IT'S JENSEN ACKLES" and pointing at the TV in Tap Ex even though it was just "Gladiator" on the TV... so i ate meat in front of his face. D:< lol. Also i've taken a sadistic enjoyment in messing with Jon and telling him i'm totally going to start going out with Chris. That is also fun. It takes my mind off of the fact that i really really want to watch TV and "Lost" just isn't cutting it for me. So i suppose i don't HATE the men in my life... but they're not... y'know... dating material. lol. Erica says she wants to get into show business... then she can introduce me to Jensen and i won't have to move all the way to Vancouver. x)

Current Mood: Pretending to be serious, but not succeeding
Song of the Day: "The Other Way" by Weezer

DUDES. HAHA. I've been on a "Heroes" binge the past couple of days because i was so right about who was going to die. Simone, people. Simone. CALLED IT. xD Anyway... Lent started yesterday and it didn't really hit me until i was in mass. I'm pulling the "No TV except for one show" card again. This year i'm watching "Lost" mainly because i've LOST (ha! PUN!) most of my interest in it. No "Supernatural", "Heroes", "Avatar", TDS, or TCR for the next 40 days. *sigh* Well, this is one of the things i'm giving up for Lent. The rest are promises that are between me and God... and when dudes make a promise, dudes KEEP a promise. I was just sitting in mass yesterday and i started thinking about all the things i could do now that my schedule was basically WIDE OPEN. Usually, my life revolves around my TV schedule, but now that i have no TV schedule to speak of, i can do whatever i want!

I'm thinking of buying some books to pass the time. I've been eying two Dave Eggers books... one of them being his newest one What is the What. I might also buy "The Departed"... because what better way to celebrate your Catholicism than hanging out with a bunch of Irish-American gansters? xP Ou... i just thought of a better way... hanging out with a pair of Irish vigilante renegades. Mmmm... MacManuses... Jon always gets on my case when i break out "Pride and Prejudice" and watch it... Sometimes i need to feel close to my womenfolk! It's the only romantic story i can sit through without having to vomit at the end... Fucking "The Notebook"... If i ever find a boyfriend, he is not going to get "notebook'd" he's going to fucking get "pride and prejudice'd"! Or "Love Actually'd". *mutters* I can't believe Yung and Jae HATED "Love Actually"... wtf.

I also plan on finishing Don't Know Much About Mythology. Oh CRAP. I should see if i can get my hands on The Idiot's Guide to the GNOSTIC GOSPELS... i couldn't find it at the bookstore... and then i should see if i can find a copy of Don't Know Much About the Bible. I listened to a lot of "To the Best of Our Knowledge" yesterday cuz i usually watch TV while i eat dinner, and since i couldn't do that i thought "Why not edumacate myself with public radio?" It was pretty interesting. OOOOOOOOOOOU... maybe i should get Assassination Vacation. DAMN. There are so many books i want to read!

So today when i signed onto AIM they had this random screen that said "Who would you leave your significant other for?" And there was a picture of JENSEN... so i HAD to click it. I would totally leave my significant other for Jensen... *ponder* but my significant other IS Jensen... that doesn't make any sense. xP *sigh* I need to go somewhere with some hot boys... if that is incentive to take my GREs and move to Australia, then hell, i'll DO IT. But anyway... it had a little blurb about how Jensen could save you from a monster and then wrap you up in his leather jacket, and the imagery was TOTALLY HOT but then i was like "WAIT. That's not JENSEN. You're talking about DEAN. Jensen is a totally different matter ENTIRELY!" Although if Jensen wants to wrap me up in a leather jacket, that's TOTALLY cool with me... Someone says that Milo wants to shave all his hair off... which is UNFORTUNATE because i JUST got the hang of his EMO!HAIR!!!! And i don't DO bald guys... I can't. I tried to draw DL and it just didn't turn out like i hoped... I've also discovered i have a crippling weakness for Zachs. Zach Addy from "Bones"... Zach from "Heroes"... I found this ADORKABLE picture of Zachary Quinto (aka SYLAR, OMFG)... that i just LOVE TO DEATH. T_T That doesn't mean i like Sylar... really.

If Meredith Grey dies on "Grey's Anatomy" is it technically even "Grey's Anatomy" anymore?

Current Mood: DORKY TO THE MAX!
Song of the Day: "HelloGoodbye" by the Beatles

Yes... i am rather tired... but i am also rather dorktastic right now. I think i was going to post something of substance but now i've kind of forgotten what that was... eh. The jazz mass was today and let me tell you that it was AWESOME. Fr. Dominic gave a pretty kick-ass homily and then the Dominican brother who shared his experience with us afterwards was fricking insane. This was a man who was making ridiculous amounts of money from his dot-com startup... like he gave an example about how he would fly to Singapore to have dinner with a friend and then after dinner was over, he would fly home. That was how ridiculously loaded he was... and then he took a work sabbatical to Rome and it was only supposed to be for three months but he ended up staying there for 13! He would go to the Dominican services every morning at 7:15 and he said that it was crazy because 1) he wasn't Catholic at the time and 2) he didn't understand a word of Italian but something about the Dominicans spoke to him... and yeah. After he went home, he started to go to mass and stuff (cuz the Dominicans baptized him... also he helped a bunch of orders in Rome set up their internet and eventually worked his way into the Vatican and was there when the Pope sent and received his first email omfg...) and then decided to give up all his money and join the Dominicans. Fricking insane. I was reminded of St. Francis of Assisi who is like my favoritest saint ever... and i'm sure that's the same for a lot of people...

After mass we had a huge Mardi Gras celebration type thing since Lent is starting in like three days... the choir coordinated this awesome Cajun-style dinner. It was yummy with cornbread and jambalaya and collared greens and music... yeah. :) After that we came back to IG and since today is ALSO Chinese New Year, i fried up some sweet rice cakes that my mom sent me in the mail a few days ago and then we ate them at Andrew's apartment while playing mafia. LOL. It was fun and yeah we're dorks, but so what? :P

Do you know what i hate? I hate that now that i have all the time in the world to do whatever the hell i want, i have lost my drive to doodle. I am completely drawing a blank on what i want to draw and that seriously upsets me. Maybe i should practice on drawing hands... i've found out this past weekend that the hottest way i can think of to show affection is not in fact having sex or kissing, it is in fact holding hands. But that could just be my hand fetish talking... i like big, rough hands. Jared's hands are HUGE and possibly rough. I think that's the hottest thing about him. Other than that, it's all cute. He's like a giant teddy bear. Jensen's hands are actually on the small side... kind of like mine. WHATEVER. I've been doodling a lot of Peter Petrelli with my OC character Gwen Callahan. They are of teh cute. and the practicing on Peter is really paying off. I think i'm totally getting the hang of the emo!hair. plus i'm drawing him with his scar which is like totally fricking hot. I killed off Simone. We'll find out who dies tomorrow... i hope it's not someone i'm seriously attached to. I hope it's Simone... or Jessica... but Jessica is kind of already dead, i suppose. Oh God i hope it's not anyone in the fam. Part of me thinks it might be Ando, too. And that makes me sad... :(

Current Mood: omgz so tired...
Song of the Day: "How to Save a Life" by the Fray

I swear... that song has only been in like one episode of three shows, and i've just HAPPENED to see all the episodes of those shows that that song was played in. And it's not even like they're shows i watch regularly either... so weird.

Oh heavens i'm SO RELIEVED that "Supernatural" isn't coming back for a month. That means i can give up TV for Lent and not be dying on the inside because i'm missing my boys. *wibbles* I love my boys. I heard "Tall Tales" is really hilarious but i haven't gotten around to seeing it yet. I'm SAVORING it. Gonna watch "The Office" first, and then maybe "Ghost Whisperer" on the TV before buckling down and hopping into the metallicar with my babays. EXCITEMENT.

Kim got an ocarina in the mail yesterday. And she's been playing it. We'll leave it at that. It hasn't started to grind on my nerves... yet. I think my apartmentmates are going out for dinner soon which means i can blast my shows as loud as i want. :P Dang... what the heck am i going to eat for dinner? :( I have all these recipe books but i haven't really tried anything except for desserts... although I Like You has some pretty good Cooking for One recipes... i guess most of the recipes i have are for like... cooking for a lot of people. *ponder* Gah i'm pretty hungry. Ooou... my mom sent me a package full of food... maybe i'll have some to tide me over. xP Dang... now i want some mothafuckin' pancakes!

Ooou... speaking of tides (lawl), i had my first shift at the Tide Pools in the aquarium today. I've decided that i hate large numbers of medium-sized children. Little children, fine. They listen to you and stuff. Big children, awesomer. They understand and stuff. MEDIUM-SIZED CHILDREN ARE THE DEVIL. They don't listen to you and start grabbing things that they're not supposed to be grabbing. *grumbles* We had a huge group of medium-sized children today which kind of freaked me out but kind of freaked out the girl i was working with too cuz she'd never seen a group that size either. But then after they left everything was a lot less hectic and there were people interested in actual learning than seeing how many hermit crabs they could grab and fondle. YES. I said FONDLE. Because that's what they bloody did! It was a really nice day, though. Good day for tidepooling. :) It was sunny and the view was awesome. Yeah. Good times. Next week i checked the schedule and i THINK i'm supposed to be out there by myself, which kind of freaks me out a little but... yeah.

Current Mood: *needs a Dean to carry her around*
Song of the Day: "Don't Wait" by Dashboard Confessional

With another Valentine's Day come and gone i'm SICK. And not in the mental way either... the physical way. Just in time for my Mammalian Physiology midterm which ironically enough is on the respiratory and immune systems. *shakes fist at the heavens* *sigh* I've been reading over the notes and i seriously don't know anything. This wouldn't bother me if i didn't pay attention in class, but i DID and i still don't know what i'm doing. Feeling the initial onset of a cold isn't helping me concentrate on studying either. The thought that if i get worse, i still have to cook for myself makes me even more tired and irritable. That's the only good use i can think of for a boyfriend... make him take care of me when i'm sick. Of course, that isn't very often, so what could i do with him in those times when i'm NOT sick? I wish there were some sort of boyfriend rental service... lol... not hustlers. xP My mom said she sent me a package. I hope it comes in the mail today...

ARGH. Being sick shoots down my long weekend! I think that's what upsets me the most. I've been working my ass off the past week and a half so i could have this glorious long weekend and now it's going to be STOLEN from me??? Not to mention it's my first day volunteering tomorrow and i'm going to be outside for pretty much the entire time... T_T I hate the irony of life.

I skipped out on Oceanography today. I actually didn't do that bad on the test. The average was 67 and i got 70. Considering that i missed about 25% of the beginning of class, i must say that's not too bad. xP Our TA said that our section did the best out of all the other sections. w00t. lol. Ugh. Question Woman. I'm so SAD. The cute guy in my section shaved all his hair off and now he's not quite so cute anymore... :( Not a big fan of the baldies... >_> omg i just imagined Jared and Jensen with shaved heads and now i'm NEVER going to do that again. We also watched a video yesterday in Behavioral Ecology. I've concluded that Sea World is the devil (duuuuuuude you should come to the aquarium and see how much we frown upon Sea World's handling of their animals!) and that killer whales are pretty much the assholes of the ocean. They're the top predators in pretty much every ocean system they're in. Seriously. You'd think it'd be sharks or something but NAY, i tell you. Killer whales can hunt down and eat great whites. You think great white sharks are so big but in reality, they are dwarved by killer whales. Basically in the video yesterday we watched these killer whales flop onto the beach, grab a baby sea lion, and haul it back into the ocean. I mean that in itself was probably making some of the weaker-hearted girls cry BUT (and i swear this is the most horrifyingly spectacular part) the killer whales don't kill their prey right away. No. They drag the still living baby sea lion out to see and start PLAYING WITH IT. Basically it's being tortured before eaten for the sea lion. We saw the frigging killer whale toss the poor thing into the air with it's mouth and then dive in after it... and then it started using its tail to flip the sea lion dozens of feet into the air, out of the water. I was fascinated but HORRIFIED. Killer whales are motherfucking BULLIES. Our prof. told us stories about how killer whales have been observed killing great white sharks by hunting in teams. Basically the whales double team a great white, and then hold it in one place so that it can't use its gills to breathe and basically drowns. And then as if that weren't enough, after they finished making the kill, one of the whales started flaunting around with the shark's liver in its mouth. Because sharks have that awesome sense of smell, the rest of the great whites in the area pretty much BAILED after they sensed one of their own had been killed. I mean seriously. Killer whales = assholes. Yeah. Sorry to crush your childhood fondness of Shamu.

Current Mood: Fuck yes!!!!!
Song of the Day: "Renegade" by the Styx

Dudes? Awesome song. Extra awesome if you imagine Dean Winchester in the song, BELIEVE ME. I've been fangirling over Jensen for the past like three days. It had something to do with a story someone told about Jensen being the shyest person EVER despite his incredible gorgeousness. Apparently, like me, he is a starer rather than an approacher... except he has no reason to be staring because what girl wouldn't be like "omfg *dies from teh hot*" if he ever approached her? xP Other than that, my week has been kind of crap... well, at least the beginning of the week certainly was.

First of all i had a midterm on Tuesday for my Biological Oceanography class. I studied for it pretty much all of Monday night... i was super hungry too cuz i had fasted nearly the whole day in anticipation of going to Chipotle for dinner only when i GOT there they were closed and renovating the place until the next day... so i had pita chips and hummus for dinner and that was sad. At the library, the wireless o the sixth floor was super weaksauce so i ended up having to go down to the first floor to get my work/readings done. The next morning, my alarm failed to go off and i woke up at 8:05 when my midterm started at 8 AM. This is like seriously my worst nightmare EVER. So i basically threw a sweatshirt on and ran to the shuttle stop. I was 20 minutes late to school but i still managed to finish most of the midterm. *sigh* we'll see what horrors lie on it when i get it back... :(

Wednesday and Thursday were okay... pretty uneventful. Friday was neat. Jo and i went to eat at Red Robin's for lunch and then she watched the newest "Supernatural" with me. And dudes? DarkEvilMeg-Demon!Sam is HOT. Except for the part where he tried to kill Dean (but then he kind of smirked and THAT was hot so... up in the air). And the part where he tried to smash in Dean's pretty pretty face. You do not make Dean Winchester bleed his own blood, sir! I can't stop watching this one part where Evil!Sam ties up Jo and says in a singsong voice "My daddy shot your daddy in the heaaaaaaaddddd..." It's almost as if a little bit of Jared escaped into Sam and then came out through an evil sieve. xP I love that man. He is full of candy...

I got up at insanely early in the morning (7:30) and hiked my arse over to the bus stop to get to my second tide pool training. Their coffee was SUPER strong. After drinking it i actually felt REALLY awake... something that never happens when i drink like... Starbucks (unless it's late at night and then that sucks). Anyway, we did more in-depth stuff about the Art of Deception exhibit and the Sea of Genes DNA lab before doing some hands-on things at the Tide Pools. I can't wait to start working next week! My shift is from 1PM to 6PM if y'all want to come visit. Tide Pool feedings are at 2PM and i'm uber excited for that. We got to see one of the aquarists feed the sea horses and seadragons in the Art of Deception exhibit today and it was hella tight. *sigh* i wish there were more volunteer aquarist positions open...

I was also looking at grad schools last night. I'm kind of apprehensive about that. After three years of college i STILL don't know EXACTLY what i want to study, and apparently you have to have an idea what your thesis is going to be about before they actually accept you... or rather, that's what the program i was looking at had. I'm kind of avoiding taking GREs and UBC Vancouver actually has a Zoology/Marine bio program that doesn't need any GREs to get in. I DO need an interview and three letters of rec, though, which kind of makes me regret that i didn't get to know my professors really well last quarter for intro to marine bio cuz they're actually pretty big names in the field. We'll see. Maybe i'll stay in UCSD and get a masters before heading off to foreign lands. :P
