I haven’t got a really comprehensive journal, so I’m trying to get one up and this is it.

Ah, summer. The time in which I both get very bored and really swamped. I’m away from my usual home for most of July, which is okay, because apparently so is everyone else. I’ll get a lot done. I’ll probably get more done than I do at any other point. I also thought it was Wednesday all day today, which was weird. Thought it was Wednesday yesterday too, come to think of it. Oh well.

I’ll be working two or three days a week (mornings only) for the next couple of weeks, but that’s okay. I don’t do much productive stuff in the mornings anyway. I just have to finalize that tomorrow morning with my provider(s) of rides. At this point, with the economic slump, I’ll take any work I can.

Okay, so here’s some fun stuff I’ve been doing.

Last week, I was in Maine for five days for a college orientation/single credit class, which turned out to be mucho fun. There were a number of great things about it, including running into an old friend who I haven’t spoken to since middle school. We’ll be going to college together. It’s weird. Also, I’ve got a good collection of nerds up there already and we have begun to terrify campus before school even starts.

One day, one of the professors decided that she was going to play Howl’s Moving Castle on the big screen, and that was a lot of fun to see that way. Afterwards, we were all talking nerdy at each other, and Serenity came up. There were a lot of die hard fans there and someone had brought a copy, so the next night, we got them to let us play that on the big screen. Best movie ever. You have no idea. If you haven’t seen it, go out and watch it. Wait, watch the whole Firefly show first, and THEN watch Serenity. It’s got Lola in it.

Then the day after that, Alex and Sarah dragged me to the theater to see the new Transformers movie, which was good because of the explosions. I LIKE explosions. But it was a matinee and only $3.50, so we’ve decided we’ve got to see something at this place weekly, because that’s a really good price and we’ll need a break from school work.

We also went exploring, which consisted of Paige, Sarah and I running through a slightly dark basement of a dorm, with me in the lead singing the Indiana Jones Theme Song and trying every door knob we found. And on Thursday night, I was up until one thirty in the morning because at about eleven, when I was gonna turn in, Alex and Sarah busted into my room and dragged me off to play Manhunt. Outside. In the dark. It had been raining. I had an interesting run in with a grassy hill, which ended with me on my ass. Fun. And we hid on a public library. Not in. On.

But it wasn’t all fun and games. We also did work, which consisted on reading and writing about different essays. Has anyone read “A Meditation on a Yeats Poem” by Robert Bly? IT’S A LOAD OF CRAP. I WANT THIS MAN TO DIE IN A DITCH. HE TALKS ABOUT ALL SORTS OF SHIT WITH PRIESTS AND DRY WOMBS AND MECHANIZED SEX AND…wait, where’s my book? There’s a quote you have to hear…

Found it. Here we go.

“Everything outside human reason is wet, vaginal, ugly, full of stupidity and night. Nature is a wet cave where death lives. That best thing that can be said for this is that at least it contains some space. The vagina and the womb have space, extensibility; deserts go on for miles; mountains rise for thousands of feet; stars have infinite spaces between; but that doesn’t change the fact that they are all disgusting.”

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT???

Okay, just had to pause in writing this for about half an hour to talk to my boyfriend’s (amazing, crazy, awesome, supportive, fantastic, don’t let him hear me say this about her) mother. Because I get to be social tomorrow.

Anyway, that’s how that’s going down. I should go to bed, as I’m going to have to wake up mucho early, but I won’t not just yet.

I’m also knitting a scarf. A Doctor Who scarf. Four wears this incredibly long knitted contraption that I’m about 1/3 to ½ of the way through. I love every second of it. I’ll post photos when I finish. Although, today I found myself watching Star Trek while knitting my scarf and realized that MY GEEK IS INCURABLE.

This made me very proud of myself.

So, that’s it for now. I’m sure I had more to write, but I got distracted. By something shiny.

OH!! Just remembered!! Torchwood fans, I found this. You should love it. I don't quite know what the hell it is, but it is good.
