Well, here I am. People who know me love me whether they like it or not. It's a burden since I dislike most people. You can find My actual Life HERE. I have many fandoms, and many likes but I have yet to find passion in a past time. You are welcome as long as you behave.
I figure as long as STAN can live here, I can too. Here's round two.
My puppy is gargantuan I love it. Have a look
LAZ
Laz in my lap for size reference.
Happy Easter to those of Faith. Happy Jelly Bean day to those that aren't. Really, I don't know what side of that sentence I come down on. It's an odd question. That's a completely different post.
I'm watching "The Conspirator" as I wait for lunch. My Father called yesterday, "What are you doing tomorrow?"
Me: "Nothing."
Dad: "Mom and I decided to come over to Wichita and have a nice lunch. Would you like to join us?"
Me: "Did you decide that because I didn't give an answer when you asked if I wanted to come to your house?"
Dad: "No, no."
Me: "alright, sure."
I'm fairly certain my parents worry about me growing old and lonely and being a cat lady but with dogs. It's amusing and endearing.
EDIT: Like 10 minutes after my parents called to tell me they are on their way I got another call saying they weren't coming. My mother is going to KC. My Aunt that I posted about previously is not doing well and they are gathering family.
EDIT 2: My younger brother just called. He is in KC with my mother. My Aunt slept much of the afternoon. Her breathing is labored and they think she probably won't last the night. If that is the truth, I hope it is peaceful for her. Keep her family in your thoughts.
So, this movie "The Conspirator," the cast is impressive and I love Lincoln based history. Also, holding a civilian woman indefinitely in solitary confinement and trying her in a military tribunal where she cannot speak in her own defense or know the evidence against her seems rather timely. I wish that more movies would let James McAvoy be Scottish. Although a Scottish Union soldier would be strange. I am kind of enthralled and I kind of wish more people had seen this movie. Robin Wright-Penn is sad and defeated and excellent.
Lacy had her baby on Thursday. A beautiful little girl. I went to visit and she was good the whole time I was there, although Lacy said she hadn't slept the night before. April Came by during and showed off her engagement ring. Her wedding will be the day after my birthday! I've offered to help in any way I can, but her tastes are far above mine.
This school thing is on my mind still... I'm working on it.
There are other things on my mind, though not many.
I am going over course catalogs like a madman the last couple of days. I think I may have some direction, it's just now to try and work out how to do it and work at the same time. I'm looking at the Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant program. It's an Associates of Science, but my brother-in-law is an OT. He tells me that COTAs are making what he made to start now. It's not completely about the money. I just think it's time I start to be a fucking grown up. I'm not sure excited is the word, but I am starting to feel more driven... My sister has been trying to get me to do it for like 3 years now. She's not dumb, so I might as well listen to her.
I'm pretty sure I have lots of the pre-reqs for it but I'll need a lot of science. I don't mind sciences, but I prefer earth science to life sciences. They great thing about being a therapist though is that While you kind of need a bedside manner, you have to be firm enough to make people get better, so there's an element of mean---I mean Molly.
I think I could have the coursework done in a year, but the fieldwork would be problematic, as it's basically going to a job. I would not be able to HAVE a job during that and it's like 2 or 3 8 week sessions for that... A lot of the classes I could take at a JUCO and transfer in, and if I did 2 semesters at the JUCO immediately before transferring in I can get a "Dual Enrollment" scholarship. YAY money! However, the JUCO that offers what I need has centers like 30 - 60 minutes away. the closer one doesn't offer what I would need. I need to get transcripts from the colleges I have attended and see what I have that would already work.
I need to make an appointment to talk to the university about it, too. If I could pull this off, I'd be so awesome...
I'm not quite drunk, but I'm pretty close. Close enough to be really tired instead of crazy. it's kind of nice.
Allamorph, I hate you for sending me the link to the word association. Felix hates you about it too now since I sent it to him.
So a couple of weeks ago I grabbed a bunch of stuff at my friend's Blockbuster that is closing. I got a bunch of xbox games which I have been playing. I am terrible at fighting games, I have found out. Assassin's Creed II took up a great deal of my free time lately. I finished the main story, I am currently just running through finding glyphs at this point before moving on to Brotherhood. I put it way to play P3 again though on the PS2. I LOVE IT.
Roomie is working out well and he seem ready to stay long term, which is awesome! He said that I'm ridiculously easy to talk to, which is nice. It's just nice to have someone else in the house, even if Lucy hates his dog.
Mark Zuckerburg told me that today is national cleavage day. I laughed and rolled my eyes. I still thought about celebrating with a low cut top.
Things that effect me are wierd. Jordan is moving to Texas in a few months. My body doesn't seem to breathe and my hands are shaking. Im not sure if it's because of this our because I found out from a FB posting or because he's going because of Maryam.
I hate feelings.
