so, i had an epiphany tonight at work, while straightening up the kids section trying not to think about how much i wanted to kill the people in there (at 10pm).

remember, those from my freshman gym class, how i referenced Wizard of Oz (thus causing us to acquire the nicknames)? i think i know why now (besides insanity).
when i was in fifth grade, the last book i remember the librarian reading to us was The Wizard of Oz. and when i got to sixth grade, i was feeling absolutely rotten and alone (which i basically was). so i kept checking out The Wizard of Oz from the public library and reading it. it was comforting to me.
so i think i did something similar in freshman year. the book, despite being subtle social and political commentary, is a comfort mechanism for me.

1. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
2. Tag seven people to do the same.
3. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag whoever wants to do it.

1. I’m a closet hypochondriac; since I was young, I always started feeling bad if someone else talked about it. This has led me to ignore signs (except in the case of my ears) that my body is actually sick, since I just assume I’m overreacting to outside stimuli. I’m still trying to convince myself that I’m not actually hypoglycemic like my sister.

2. As most of you know, since you went to high school with me, I have a fear of things flying at my head/unexpected movement in my periphreal vision. (God, I hate gym.) This really doesn’t help the overwhelming sense of paranoia I live with on a fairly constant basis.

3. After my dad’s accident, we had a wooden rail put along our porch. I have since developed the urge to always knock on it three times (and any other piece of wood, like the bridge on campus) as I walk by.

4. If I’m capable, I like to eat food in even numbers. For instance, I eat grapes by twos, so each side of my mouth has one, same for M&Ms, vegetables, cereal when I get down to the dregs, nuts, goldfish, etc. (When using ice cubes, however, I only use three, unless I’m pouring it from a 20oz bottle in which case I use 6.) When I can’t eat the food in even numbers, I break it in half with my front teeth, and split it between each side of my mouth. Otherwise I feel weird.

5. I have intense made-up conversations (and sometimes arguments) in my head, with just about anyone I can think of that I know, that takes up significant portions of my time. I even end up gesticulating while having these conversations in my head. I don’t always get my way in them either.

6. I can’t leave scabs alone, I always pick at them until they bleed again. Especially if it hurts.

7. I am painfully socially inept. The chosen way I have for breaking up with guys is either some electronic means (yes, I’ve done it over email) or not talking to him and letting him get the idea. I also don’t know how to broach things with people. One of my roommate’s mice died last night; I sent her a text message when she was asleep to tell her. I’m pretty sure my inability to be subtle (which has really made me look like a crazy chick on numerous occasions) is in part because of this issue.

saw the movie Stardust with Andy. awesome. totally want Charlie Cox in my harem.
still having car problems, and school starts the 27th

a very big THANK YOU to acrasie for transfering all my entries from lj to ij. i am far too inept at tech to do it.

i've slept most of the day.

and i've also barely eaten which is weird since i know have groceries.


oh, damn, i'm going to have to learn how to do lj-cuts for this journal now.
god fucking hell.

a hole in the radiator. the car shut itself off to keep from overheating.

i'm borrowing dad's until its fixed, which won't be until after Dad and Kevin from Agape tow the car home tuesday.

and my fellow HP geek Nicole (and no, still haven't read it dammit) left work. so now i am lonely. at least in that sense.

i need to clean and do more laundry than just a day's worth of wearing.




i feel like there was something i wanted to remember.

so, i drove to the rent hut today, and paid my half. they did take my card, so it should have directly come from my account.
then i turned to go to the bank in the giant, and since the car was still making bad noises, opted to not use 83 to get there.

half way there, i stalled at a light.

i turned around to go back to the apartment and stalled at the next light.

and the next.

and the next. (people were not happy with me)

on Pot Spring, the little residential street i use to get back, i couldn't get the car up to speed (which was 30mph.) finally i surged forward...

...for everything to shut off while i was doing 40.

i managed to pull to the side of the street, in between two houses (there's no shoulder, but enough street for other cars to go around).
called my dad and told him. called Kyle, and he and Alex came to try and jump the car.
which didn't work.
Alex thinks the car overheated, so Janice is driving me back to it tonight. and Ed will hopefully be close by since my dad wants me to check the water level in the battery (?).

and let's hope no one wants to bother my car in the mean time

so, Krystle and i went to see Becoming Jane at the Charles with the free tickets one of my managers gave me (and oh my god, how awesome is that?). it was just as depressing as i thought it would be (sort of knowing Jane Austen's life). i basically cried the last 45 minutes of the movie.
and i totally want to buy it on DVD.

and the lead guy was cute too (and scottish!).
but seriously, Anne Hathaway is amazing. and Maggie Smith continues to rock my boat.

huh, ususally, i'm in hufflepuff or ravenclaw. interesting.
i'm fine with Slytherin, but i rather dislike most of the Ravenclaws in the series.

so, i still haven't read HPDH.
i...i don't know what's wrong with me...i just have no interest in it...but all the new fic out there has spoilers for it (which sucks since my authors have WIPs they need to finish. NOW)

on the other hand Emily sent me this
http://www.cinematical.com/2007/07/26/alvin-and-the-chipmunks-trailer/
any the geek in me is excited. but i don't know how i feel about Jason Lee playing Dave. he doesn't seem...pathetic enough? i don't know. but hopefully, it will be like the new Scooby Doo movies, be awesome, and make my childhood memories not suffer anymore. i don't think i can take anymore crappy pornstars.

so, i worked on 7-21-07
oh man, so crazy.
( blah blah blah )
and i still haven't started reading Harry Potter.
but i have some theories.
( possible (wrong) turns the book may take )
i'll be interested in seeing how off i am.
or, more humorously, how close i am

( HP 5 movie spoilers )

i'm tired, so when i remember more, and when my throat recovers from when Janice and i let loose our anger at the rolling credits and then started quoting PPP, i'll add it. maybe even give more of an opinion.
it wasn't bad.

also, when i get my film developed, i'll post the few pictures of us in costume
