You know you've been reading webcomics too long when LARP starts to sound ridiculously fun and like something you should've been doing for years.

This is why I shouldn't be allowed to read Geebas on Parade. Specially at 4 am.

 I just had a dream in which an alien was trying to get my cat to listen to a bootlegged copy of the audiobook called "A Squirrel's Guide to Zen"

My anthropomorphic, talking cat.

...who may, or may not have been doing drugs.

Being surrounded by religious jews makes me think of sex...
WTF brain?

*peeks out from behind couch*
In case anybody's wondered, I'm still alive. :P
I kinda spazzed with all the spoilers just before the last HP book came out and decided to avoid lj until I got my hands on a copy. I still haven't read it (I know, I know, I'm ashamed to call myself a fangirl) but decided that enough was ehough and here I am.
I'm gonna be attempting to go through 2 months of entries, but I'm guessing it'll be rather slow going (>.<) so if anything's happened to you in the past 2 months, leave me a note.

Meanwhile, I've gotten a kitty (I'm told that she was about a year old when I got her) and she's is the sweetest most adorable thing ever. I've gotten something of a social life (well huh, how'd that happen?) and I have started taking dance classes again. Ballroom is pretty fun even if there isn't a single guy in the class and the other three students are probably older then the combined ages of me and the friend I'm taking it with. Oh and me and my boyfriend broke up about two months back.

So what's new with you people?

Bugger.
I might be failing class because of two dollars. And because me and my mother are equally stubborn.
It's times like these that I wih there was somebody around to talk some sense into the both of us.



And now that she's left and I can stop sulking and leave my room, I can't even get to class cause if I'm late they're not letting me in and, well, class already started and I have no desire to sit outside in the rain for an hour.

Do any of you lot know anything about dress-making?
I want to try and make a dress and I have something very specific in mind. I just have no idea how to go about it.
So, help?

I am now the proud owner of a US Passport.

Apparently the program that I used to make animated icons (Jasc Animation Shop 3) uninstalled along with Paint Shop Pro 8.
Now, I've still god the cd, so I -can- reinstall it, but that would mean reinstalling PSP8 as well, and I've got a shitload of graphics programs as it is.

Are there any simple -free- programs around that do simple frame by frame animation? Cause I do the individual frames in Photoshop or PSP anyway.

Now, I've got the following programs already installed, so if anybody can tell me if any of these would do the trick...

I've also got the following programs on disk (most of which I have never used and know nothing about):


Help?

Level of fuckwit that I'd hit if I decided to just get my GED? Especially this late in the game? Anyone?

My computer has been taken over.
The world is next.

I hate myself for this, but I think I'm jealous of my nephew. The one who's not yet 2 months old. The one that I've not yet met.
I think I'm worried that he'll take my brother away from me. Which is completely irrational because my brother only visited once a year for 2 weeks for the past 5 or 6 years and we don't talk much in between visits.And he still came here for his yearly visit despite the baby being about 6 weeks old when he left and he didn't even cut the visit short like I was worried he'd do. Plus, I don't need my brother. I'm (mostly) grown and can take care of myself. The baby on the other hand, certainly doe. And it's not like my brother's going to love me any less cause he's got a kid of his own, but...
I'm jealous anyway. I don't know why. I just am.

Spent time with family yesterday.

Went to see Bodies with brother. While some parts of ti were kinda cool (I got to hold somebody's brain!) I was mostly bored.

Went to see AntiGravity with most of family. Was awesome. Not on the same level as Cirque Du Soleil, but still relly cool. The technical aspects of it were amazing (when I say technical, I'm referring to the dances) but it was kinda...trashy. Especially compared to Cirque Du Soleil. The costumes were less cool. The music was more popular and less interesting. There were a lot of times when I had to idea what to pay attention to because 5 completely different things were going on at once. However the dancers were amazing and I really, really, -really- wish I could do that. Although since I stopped taking gymnastics 7 years ago and dance 2 years ago and can only do cartweels, splits and one kind of flip at this point in time, that is very unlikely. Reminded me that I still want trapeze lessons and to actually go sign up for gymnastics like I've been meaning to for the past half a year.

I'm watching season 2 of Buffy for the first time ever and I just want to say that Spike/Drusila is kinda awesome.
Even if pretty much each episode has a bit that goes like this:

Drusilla: Spike, come dance with me.
Spike: Not now! Can't you see I'm busy?
Drusilla: *wimper*
Spike: I'm sorry pet. *hugs*

Drusilla is very, very cool.

It's times like this that I hate my school. I wasn't in very much for most of last year (I used to miss something like 4 weeks out of 6) because my eczema was really horrid. Obviously, I didn't pass very many classes. I am now in need of another 3 gym credits to graduate. Seeing as I wasn't in school for medical reasons last year, I am trying to get the gym credits without having to actually make up the class. Back in september they told me to bring in a note from a doctor saying that I couldn't go to gym for medical reasons. I brought the note in, they thought about it, they thought about it some more and they -just- decided that eczema is a skin condition and therefore doesn't prevent me from going to gym. Despite the fact that in gym you sweat and sweat makes eczema worse and that causes me to miss school. Despite the fact that I've got 2 -doctors- telling me not to go to gym. They claim that I didn't inform my teacher of it last year, but you know what? The fact that I have atopic dermatitis is in my school file. I brought in a half dozen doctor's notes that year where the reason I was out was eczema. In fact, I even brought in a note at some point excusing me from gym for a few weeks because of eczema (unfortunately I didn't get a copy of this one to my guidance counselor).
So what I'm doing is filing a grade appeal form. With it I am including letters from my regular doctor and my allergist (I can't track down my dermatologist in time) saying that I've been under their care for many years and they advised me not to go to gym. I spent the past 2 days running to school and then to another doctor and then to the other and then back again. I've got all the letters that I can now so I'm going to file the form tomorrow.
*crosses fingers*

It doesn't matter that I was stressed and spent the period crying and had my period. I told my teacher, the man RESPONSIBLE FOR MY FINAL GRADE (and hence graduation), that I don't give a damn about his class, his feelings or making up the final. I really, really hope that I only need the regents and not the class credit. ><

P.S. I am fucking SCREWED.

Went to see the movie sunday. It was <3

Anybody know what happened to the lovely emails that lj used to send me when somebody either left or replied to a comment? Cause I'm really not in the mood to go hunting through a dozen journals every hour to see if somebody said something.
