Header Post - Hiatus Notice

  Well that should be obvious enough, right? I haven't updated this poor website in about two years, it seems. But I haven't abandoned it. No, it just turns out that going to grad school and working at the same time is hard. All the content on this webpage is old, and I have been planning a complete revamp... I just don't think I'll have time until I graduate, which (hopefully) will be December 2010. So for now, if there actually is anyone who has come across this page, please bear in mind that it needs serious work, but for now the only thing that's updated is my blog on the main page. Thanks! - Amanda

Buh.

  11:51 am

  Just started Season 4 of Enterprise. The last, I think? So far I didn't think it was as bad as everyone was saying it was, but now it's starting to get a bit ridiculous even for me. BACK IN TIME TO THE PAST, WHERE NAZI ALIENS RULE THE UNITED STATES! DUN DUN DUN!

Like... what? Seriously?

Tonight, I'mma light all the mobs up on sight

  I love it when a parody is better than the actual original. Case in point:



  Makes me want to level my warlock, heh.

Hugepost Part I: House

  11:42 pm

  Hey there everyone! It's been awhile since I made a substantial post on here. I've wanted to, believe me, I just haven't had the time. And I've had so much to talk about, too! I felt that I couldn't really make ANY post without first writing a post catching you all up on what the heck has happened in the past... half-year. Wow. I'm doing this in parts for organization and for easier reading (for those who actually care). So here's the first part, about the house. Next'll be about my new(ish) job.

Amanda hate group project!

  6:45 pm

Dear professors,

Group projects. Why do you do it to us? Surely you have to realize the sort of stress they cause. I know that you're thinking, "They'll need to know how to make do teamwork!" but haven't the past hundreds of classes you've taught, which surely must have been filled with failed group projects, gotten it through your head that group projects are not helping us. What are you, trolls? You think it's funny to watch students stress out because one person didn't get with it?

ARGHHHH SDJHSUIDHUISDISD

Context:

Group project due tonight at midnight. We had to research 10 questions, we each took 2-3. Now we each have to submit the final, compiled project. One girl says, "I'll compile them, post it to the discussion board, and send it back to you!" ... and it's due in 5.5 hours and we haven't heard from her. I could have done this assignment on my own and turned it in a week ago. :/

EDIT: She came through in the end. Apparently she was waiting on ANOTHER group member to send her citations. Had to go on eventually without the other girl's citations. Hopefully we won't lose too man points over that.

It's okay to be jealous!

I finally found my talent! Grinding!

  1:38 am

  GRIND GRIND GRIND. My life activities have narrowed down to schoolwork, WOW, cleaning and the gym. I would be worried that I'm turning into one of those people, who have no creativity or imagination, but I am pretty confident that once school GTFOs I will be back to my normal, writing and drawing self. But in the meantime, small achievements make me happy, and... I'm okay with that!

  So today I finished a paper WHILE grinding Mag'har rep and leveling fishing. Because I am ADD. Fishing is currently at 234. Mag'har rep is at 19230 / 21000 to Exalted. YES. Expect a picture of my hot troll butt on a talbuk soon.

GRIND GRIND GRIND. I'm so good at it!



(Sorry I keep posting so many vids, but there are so many good ones out there. And they are really surprisingly good!)

Soooo... buttons.

  9:45 pm

  I am still working on the hugepost! Or rather, I open the Word document on one monitor for inspiration while I play WOW. Damn you WOW! You and your sweet, sweet rep grind! GIVE ME A TALBUK.

  Random thoughts!

1. LJ! Seriously! Stop logging me out when I don't ask you to! Stop double-posting my comments! Just... stop!

2. Drivers of Florida! Lend me your ears! The left lane, 'tis a marvelous invention called a "passing lane." It is not called a "put my cruise control on 65 for the lulz lane." I try to give you the benefit of a doubt; perhaps you are tourists from a distant land. But I suspect you are actually just dicks.

2a. Those of you going slowly in the right lane, excellent! You are doing things correctly. However, if I am on the on ramp, trying to merge, and there is no other car around for miles, please get into the left lane out of kindness.I promise you'll be back in the right lane within mere moments. Playing chicken with me is not funny. You are an even bigger dick than the left-lane-lovers.

3. I went to Sonic the other day with the roomies and thought to myself, "So here I am at Sonic. Do I get the cherry limeade, or ice cream?" Except Sonic apparently loves me and had CHERRY LIMEADE ICECREAM WHAAAAT. Mind = blown. Tongue = ecstatic.

4. All I can think about lately is all the awesome stuff I want to do when I graduate. There are so many games I bought and then never had the time to play. FFVII? Twilight Princess? Kingdom Hearts? FFXII? I'm not kidding. They're all sitting around collecting dust. How about Crisis Core, which I bought when it came out in Japan? FROWN. Oh! And I'm gonna draw! And write! And redo my entire webpage! Learn a language! Or five! And THINGS! And rep grind EVERYTHING IN WOW FOREVER.

Mood: bored
Music: online class, blah blah blah

Incoming hugepost soon. I think.

  5:43 pm

  So yeah! The reason I haven't really written that much in here lately is because so much has changed in my life that I never wrote about, I kinda can't write new things without catching everyone up to speed first. Believe it or not I am actually working on a real post. No. Really.

*levels tailoring & enchanting on her mage*

No! Really!

In the meantime:

Why do I still live here again?

  4:11 pm

  After a few years of the weather being more random than usual, central Florida has gone back to the old "intense lightening storms every day 4PM-6PM." We've also reached the point of excruciating heat. It was like a light switch flipped. One week it was pretty hot, but a little breezy and not yet painfully humid, with random storms. Then one day, it was just like WHAM, heat, humidity and five o'clock lightening. Summer is here, bitches.

  I had forgotten how irritating it is to have daily thunderstorms. We've already had to have our internet reset once by tech support. Not good for online classes. But hey, at least the state won't set itself on fire this year, right? Right?

  Anyway I am actually home alone right now, which is rare... the dudes are off on St. Augustine, Sara is at work... It's freaky since I've gotten used to at least someone else being home, but it's nice to be able to listen to music out loud really loudly. But I swear if the power goes out on my while I'm all alone and working on my homework, I will scream.

Ah geez.

  8:35 pm

  Gee, LJ, thanks for suspending purchase/renewal of userpics right when mine expired. Awesome. If it weren't for all the great communities & friends on LJ I so would have been gone a long time ago. Sigh.

  Interestingly enough, I still have access to my expired userpics though. But still. Ugh. The timing is crap.
