bryiarrosesorcha is all distressed because she lost a lady bug. she keeps crying at me to come and find it for her again. i love my cat.
in other news, i'm back safe and relatively sound from chicago. we made okay time, considering how we missed the turn off of 90 and started seeing signs for the spam museum and wall drug before we realized. but like i said, home again and it's all okay.
chicago was great. a much needed time away, even if it was short. it was great to see the chicago contingent (i have cute pictures that i'll have to share somehow), talk with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
minervacat, and realize how much i miss living in a true city. still not sure how i feel about chicago as a city in particular, but it's beginning to grow on me. and that's something.
classes started back up today. think i'm going to love my methods in american studies class, and intro will either be interesting or terrible (but i don't get much choice about taking it either way). so there's those plus the second half of the women's history course i had last term which should be just as good. overall i think i'm going to have another term of classes i really like and that are all for my major. and that's just cool.
there's a party at crack house right now, and it's just not where i wanted to be. i never feel quite comfortable at crack house parties-- even when all of my friends are there. i'm not sure why, maybe something to do with not liking cheap beer and so not ever being trashed enough to enjoy everyone else being trashed on cheap beer at a sometimes-sketchy, over-crowded party. but like i said, i don't know. it could also be that i'm still awfully shy now and then and retreat into corners at parties when i'm not entirely right with myself. (example, Saturday night.)
my housemate still hasn't finished doing his fucking dishes. and i know i'm not good about doing mine always, but i don't amass them in such huge quantities or leave them as nasty as he does either. and besides, i only do horrible things to my own dishes. which i can deal with because i know the limits of what they can take. but if he wants to be irresponsible with dishes, he should get his own and not wreck mine. end rant.
most things are good right now. and i saw two bugs and a moth today, so it must be spring. and spring will make me happy. must sleep tonight. tired. much to do this term. now all i have to do is remember it all.
A - Act your age? that depends. first on my mood and second on how you define what's age appropriate.
B - Born on what day of the week? Saturday i think? Saturday's child has far to go... i think that's it too?
C - Chore you hate? all of them. dishes particularly.
D - Dad's name? Jim.
E - Essential makeup item? currently, my gold revlon eyeliner.
F - Favorite actor? not right now.
G - Gold or silver? usually silver, but it depends on my mood.
H - Hometown? i guess it's minneapolis. that's where i was born at least and where i've come from most recently too.
I - Instruments you play? guitar, piano a little, banjo just a little.
J - Job title? student. server. singer/songwriter. sure.
K - Kids? not unless you count my little siblings. they do get referred to as my 'kids' by friends.
L - Living arrangements? renting half a house with two other people i don't know very well.
M - Mom's name? Janelle
N - Number of people you've slept with? 4
O - Overnight hospital stays? not since i had severe asthma attacks when i was little.
P - Phobia? hmm. the cotton that comes out of pill bottles?
Q - Quote you like? so many good ones. i used to have bulletin boards full of them in my bedroom. one of my favorites has always been a j.m. barrie quote: "the reason birds can fly and we can't is because birds have perfect faith. for to have faith is to have wings." or something close to that.
R - Religious affiliation? none. i was kind of raised going between christian scientist, congregationalist, methodist with a touch of lutheran thrown in. none of them stuck, but the christian science came closest (both sets of grandparents, and they started me young).
S - Siblings? three half siblings. david (8 and 1/2 years younger, mom's side), matthew (13 and 1/3 years younger, dad's side), sophie (15 years younger, dad's side)
T - Time you wake up? as late as possible.
U - Unique habit? eating kix with chocolate chips.
V - Vegetable you refuse to eat? peppers and olives top the list. wish i liked peppers though.
W - Worst habit? probably sleeping too much/too late or else running consistently late.
X - X-rays you've had? can't remember completely... probably my lungs a few times, and my shoulder when i sprained it in broomball.
Y - Yummy food you make? i can do anything sugary that requires baking. i also make yummy raspberry jam and killer grilled cheese sandwiches.
Z - Zodiac Sign? Aquarius. crazy in a good way.
