Frisbeeus Flighteus
There's an interesting little phenomenon that happens at Ithaca and probably at most other East coast colleges. We have this long long long winter and then, just when you think you're going to just die from all the freaking clouds and snow and cold...spring arrives!
However, spring doesn't present itself here the way it does everywhere else in the world. It's not the little green shoots you see in the dirt, or spotting the first robin, or even the increasing temperature.
It's the return of that strange little thing called a Frisbee.
They hibernate in basements and inside drawers and closets all winter, but once it gets warm enough they wake up and take flight and probably make little Frisbees when we're not looking, since you see more of them every year.
And that's how you know spring has come to a college campus.
In short, HOORAY, SPRING! FINALLY!
Wow, I haven't updated in forever, huh? At least not with anything important. Three weeks of school left, I've registered for classes next semester (it's looking ugly, but after this year I think I can handle anything), and I've got an incredible amount of work coming up. The past weekend was kind of nightmarish. Julie and I went to Tammy's place to generally hang out and say hello to the kitties (they caught one of the ferals, a pretty one named Butch), but I had a hell of a lot of work to do this weekend as well, so it wasn't as relaxing as it could have been. Did manage to see an intriguing episode of Torchwood.
Got back middle of Sunday, wrote an entire paper, then pulled an all nighter Monday night reading a book and doing work. /wrists
Still working on getting the money together for the apartment. We still need to pay off the last month's rent, and Kate's going to cover the security.
I'm going to adopt a kitty! He's eight (six?) months old and he's a gray tabby named Grigio, but I'm going to rename him Elwood. Need to fill out the application and gather $65. Julie's adopting one as well, a girl named Ace who she's going to rename Nephry.
Also need to fill out an application to work at Brotchen, since I'm going to need a job this summer, and working at Brotchen sounds awesome. Though I should also start searching for other work, just in case.
I have concluded that EVERYONE likes Journey. People who say they don't are just in denial.
Oh, and, in another example of how the muse desires my death, I've come up with yet another over-elaborate idea for a story, which I'll talk about in an up-coming friends-locked post. (Paranoid? Whut?)
Showed Julie all of Dennou Coil and she died a little over it. Showed her episode 26 of Darker than Black, and she also died a little over it. Also, Mushishi is as awesome as ever in ASIC, and Baccano! is beginning to make some more sense. Persona 3 has gotten intense, Julie and I have set aside Tales of the Abyss until summer, and the RP continues to be abso-fucking-lutely awesome. Julie's going to app Kirihara (fuck yeah!)
There are two characters in Persona 3--Akihiko and Shinjiro--who remind me of Boone and Scryes, which kind of kills my heart a little.
Life is generally okay :)

Your cats sound cute. Is Elwood named after the Blues Brother, or did it just sound like a good name?

Well I knew you got an apartment/house/thinger-thang, I just didn't know it was for the Summer. I assumed it was just for next year. Hooray for more friends staying over the Summer!
*Insert death of Tony Soprano here*

fjdklkjfda you're staying too?? Woot!
no subject
Yes, if all goes as planned, I'll be working for ITS over the Summer and staying in my Circle. Should be good times.
no subject
Sweet. Our house is downtown actually, right by the Commons, so if I end up working at Brotchen it'll be really convenient.
no subject
Best of luck then. We should hang out from time to time.
