Okay, two pizza lunchables.
All my grades are in-- I'm definitely getting my MA next Saturday, with an overall GPA of 3.93 no less! And that paper I procrastinated on so horribly and then wrote almost all of the night before it was due? My hard-to-impress advisor wants me to make some minor changes and submit it for publication.
Yeah, I think today is a pretty good day.
Oh I get it, you got one game for $30.
After having so many problems with my last class, I ended up passing with a C. Totally surprised by this.
Today got better! Random internet searching led me to discover that my undergraduate thesis, which was published in the Journal of Developmental & Physical Disabilities a few years ago, is cited in a published book about inclusive education (my paper was about autism)! One you can buy on Amazon and is legit and real and made of paper and everything! I'm only cited once, but still-- I'm in there!
EDIT: Also, as a secondary rave, I have 3 legit raves on this page. After months and months of crippling depression and anxiety-producing levels of school-related stress, that feels pretty amazing.
Nah gamestop had a preowned bundle for sale... couldn't pass it up for the price, games work great so idgaf if they're pre owned haha.
This will be one of those sappy rants-turned-raves, avert thine eyes and all the rest...
So, this week has been absolutely god-awful. To say I have been moody is the understatement of the century, and akin to likening a mental breakdown to "a bit of a tiff". If I've slept, I've had nightmares. If I've stayed up, I've done nothing but bawl like I'm getting paid for it, and living off those cans of fruit in juice like some post-apocalyptic cave-woman. I have been in game only to hunt and talk to people ooc, and this is why it's a rave.
The Achaean community has been such an incredible source of comfort and support and I cannot thank you magnificent bastards enough for everything you've offered, put up with, or helped with. When I needed space, people stepped in to help deal with things in my stead; I've been given company, random gifts, impromptu roleplay (thanks for destroying Fire&Spice @Vastar / Celani), and likely much more I'm forgetting.
So here we go (if I'm missing you, it's not intentional, I haven't slept in 36 hours):
- @Taraus my smoke-and-a-gripe partner, you understand the Italian batshit streak better than everyone, and I have so loved being able to talk to you about cheesy sequin-unitard 80's music, boys, birds, and everything in between.
- @Verily for relentlessly talking me down from my overdramatic ledges. I love you. I don't know where I'd be without you, I'm so glad we've met and I've made a lifelong friend (and fiend).
- @Kyrra needs no explanation. I adore interacting with you IC and it's been wonderful sharing recipes and griping OOC. Thank you.
- @Ainia my new best friend. Sorry I've been quiet, I know you're there for me and it's appreciated.
- @Daslin man I don't know where to start. Just everything. Hunting, teaching me combat, being there, working out new RP avenues. @Datrius by extension for doing everything he possibly can to help, you're both wonderful boys.
- @Hasar for being a scrub. (I love your presents. I'll treasure them always.)
- @Quei my most recent partner-in-crime, you're great, your music taste is great, we'll tear this up!
Everyone in Vastar's Order for IC wonderfulness, and for actually being decent human beings OOC. Glad you're here.
Occultists, damned. Just... ugh. I love you. Like only some crack-addled houseleader could (should?). When it works, it works amazing, and I'm so so grateful.
@Ourania dealing with my absent-mindedness, and @Vastar for my forsaking him/his while I monged out on ooc party. Please don't atlatl me
Ugh, getting soppy again. Just... yes, thank you for being such an amazing community and helping me through tough times.
Rave to counter my rant.
In the midst of my unreasonable rage today, my pops and I somewhat made up? I think? Fuckit. We did. Old fella's warmin' back up to the tattooed, pierced black sheep of the family.
I keep a lot of my pictures and notes in my bag and in my purse to randomly find. It cheers me up on the bad days of school, or whenever I happen to be cleaning out my bag. I just got a new addition last week. Kids.
That love soon might end You are unbreaking
And be known in its aching Though quaking
Shown in this shaking Though crazy
Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
Landed a good job in upstate New York. I'm moving in five days.
Rave: I stumbled across Blue Exorcist. I love it! I started watching this afternoon, and I'm now on episode eleven.
Rant: My tooth hurts, but oh well!
final verdict on shoulder rendered:
no surgery required, only pt and cortisone shot. Still hurts, but doable.
sister getting act together:
only 8 more hours of community service and I can pass my nephew back to his mama.
grandpa's will has finally been threaded through:
I was left with enough cash to pay for my house in full. Thank you Chief for always taking care of me.
random surprise:
someone mailed me a pack of cookies and yarn. This made me happy beyond happy.
No problem man. I got your back. @Daslin
Learned something today from @Sarapis
Sitting in front of a wood stove with espresso and grappa, when it's evening and cold outside.
I hate that it feels like winter, but like this, it's bearable.
→My Mudlet Scripts
@Iocun , I'm incredibly jealous. Might I join you?
Sure, but the grappa is running low, so better hurry.
→My Mudlet Scripts
You, my good man, have excellent taste in accompaniments for the cold winter nights. I salute you! Now, share the grappa!
Going to the Kings game tonight, boxed seats, open bar, what can possibly go wrong #keepyourphoneonImayneedyoutomakebail
My sister and her husband go to Kings games all the time. Have fun though!
Kings win! Now Clippers need to win game 6 after getting hosed by the refs.
I had a really good interview this morning for a small music teaching gig. No idea if the position is going to exist (based on enrollment numbers at a really small school), but feeling confident about getting a call. Always feels good to get complimented and reassured you got your stuff together.
Also, lulz for the impromptu fire drill that he had no idea about in the middle of the interview.
Found close to a pound of morel mushrooms today. Mmm.
