So, I'm not really sure who's still reading here, but just a little announcement for those who might be interested!

Me and Emily are starting up a new rp. Not with the BSC, this one is for the Princess Diaries series. So if any of y'all read those and are wanting to get back to rping again, please let us know, we'd love to have you!

I miss playing.

I know we've all said that. I just miss it. I can't seem to summon up any desire to play at NL cause everyone I'd want to play with (except Emily) is gone.

So where are we on this PSL thing? Still figuring that out? Still up for that?

I'm kinda going insane with trying to find another part-time job, and I need something to take my mind off of the insanity.

This talk of doing PSLs with various characters is really tempting.

I just don't know what to do with it. But I'd love to keep playing with some of these kiddos, doing whatever anyone wants with them.

I don't know. I just miss doing stuff.

Seriously love this article. Posting it here just so I can have the text of it documented somewhere.

I would like to announce that me and merrywednesday are psychic. Or we're able to send out subliminal messages. Or something.

We've always joked about how Ben McKenzie and Nora Zehetner need to be in something together. Tonight, I turned on Southland, the show Ben McKenzie's on right now, and as it was coming on and they're listing the names of the guest actors in the opening credits, I saw Nora Zehetner's name. I gasped and screamed and then waited (kinda) patiently to see what would happen. Southland is an ensemble show with a big cast and lots of guest actors so I figured the chances were slim that she'd even be in a scene with Ben, let alone be something good. It's a cop show, I had this feeling that she'd end up being some girl he's arresting or something.

Then halfway through the episode, he mentions how he's getting set up on a date. And I got excited.

And at the end of the episode, he gets to the restaurant to meet his date, and it's Nora Zehetner.

Ok, and the scene was short, she had just a few lines, and he ends up walking out on the date (not cause of her). And there was probably nothing useful for caps (which isn't stopping me from recording the 1am encore presentation to possibly burn to a dvd). But maybe she'll be back on.

And at the very least, I got to actually watch David and Mari on a date tonight, and I like to think that it's all cause of our freaky subliminal powers.

My dad, who is so freaking awesome, got me a new laptop today!

Now I'm sitting here with three computers in my room feeling so amazingly geeky.

Anyway. So I'm working on transferring all this stuff over to my new laptop, and will be saying goodbye to this one, so one quick question. Where is it that I download that LJ/IJ login thing for Firefox?

I start school today!

I know I've mentioned it to some people, but just figured I'd share it here too. I'm starting an online degree program through Full Sail University, this film/media school down in Florida. My degree is for entertainment business.

Right now I'm reading some chapters in the textbook for my first class, after finally finishing the orientation that was clearly made for someone who's never used a computer before or even been to school, seeing as how it taught me valuable lessons like "to close a window, hit 'close'", "no plagiarizing", and "assignments must be turned in on time".

Sigh.

And in unrelated news, I took a study break and went to McDonald's, cause I needed a hot fudge sundae. Posted inside was this sign:

Ugh.

Might be changing my AIM name. Seriously ready to kill AIM right now. I've had a saved password forever, and somehow that's gone now. I've tried all my usual passwords and nothing's working. I've gone to the AIM page to do a password reset and it said it was sending me an email to my "alternate" email address, whatever the hell that one is, considering I've had this AIM name for years. I checked a Yahoo account I have and don't have an email there, and nothing at my regular email address. So I have no clue how to get into my AIM.

So, might be getting a new AIM name from me. I've been wanting to change mine anyway, so this could be what gets me to do it, I just don't know what name I want cause I'm too picky. Blah. Will update and let y'all know.

EDIT! Ok, my AIM name is now Starfish711. I'm getting my buddy list updated, may have missed some people, so just go on and im me if I don't im you. You can still keep my other name on the list but I probably will just stop using it.

I just sat down in a chair and played a few things on Wii Sports, all so I could see how well David could play them.

I feel so lame, and accomplished. I actually got my best score on batting practice when I was sitting down.

My results are that David would be very good at baseball and gold, ok at tennis, and suck at bowling. I haven't tried boxing yet, but I suck at boxing so it's hard to test that one.

Aside from replying to Andi's birthday post with a generic reply, I have done absolutely nothing with Jason this month, and I have no desire to do anything with him.

Please give me a reason to hang onto him and keep doing things with him, cause at this point, I really need it. Otherwise, he's a goner.

I'm extraing tomorrow. I would kinda rather just stay home and be lazy seeing as how it's going to be all rainy and thunderstormy and therefor will be all muddy and yucky outside of Tric. Here's hoping it's a short day at least.

Now to force myself to get sleepy since I slept til almost 11 this morning, but have to be at extraing at 7:30am so I'll want to get to bed early. Thank god for sleepytime medicine :-)

So, for the past few days, I keep getting the theme song to Saved By The Bell: College Years stuck in my head.

Because of this, I'm sharing it with all of you. Enjoy!

OK, OH MY GOD, CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE ON YOUTUBE, WTF, SERIOUSLY?

Ok, I don't want to sound all salesgirl-ish, but I just started working for Thirty-One Gifts. It's this company that sells purses and other gift items, all personalized if you want them to be. My mom does it and she signed me up so I can have some extra money coming in. It's one of those companies where you do home parties and stuff.

I'm not planning on hosting parties or anything like that, but I've got a website for it, and you can order stuff through there or you can have a catalog party under your name (which means that your friends could order stuff through you and then you'd get some free stuff).

Anyway. I'm not being all 'omg, buy from me, i want commission!'. Just wanted to put the site out there in case anyone was ever in need of anything, they do have some really cool stuff.

Jason. Freaking Jason.

As I was telling Laur W earlier today, when I was talking about how I wrote two oneshots recently. I love my Brad oneshot. I like my Jason one. I just don't feel that great about it at all really, like it was just a lot of rambling that frankly could have been better done as a journal.

I have no clue where to go with him. I feel like he's hardly got any friends, and the ones he does have are the same people from high school, so I feel like nothing's changed. I don't know how to get him involved in stuff or get him out there or just anything to do with him. I don't even feel like I get him.

I felt really excited when I was getting Jason together back in all the pre-NL stuff. I've always seen him as a guy who would just blossom in college and come out of it cooler than he was in high school, and I was so excited to write him doing that. But now I feel like I'm still writing SHS Jason and that not much has changed with him.

I don't even know where I'm trying to go with this entry. Just getting it out there that I'm totally lost with Jason and have no idea where to go with him.

Just a heads up, I got an email from Laur W, she got dehydrated so she's in the hospital overnight so they can get fluids into her. She says that she's feeling a little better and is keeping water down now, so that's good. And she says she's super-excited that we got a Tim Carmody.

I don't have a good hospital-related icon. Hoping this one works in its place.

Yay, engagement party is tonight! I'm so excited for our first group thread.

I'm not going to be around really at all for Monday, including Monday night. I'm going up to my parents house for the night basically all so I can drop my car off with my brother-in-law so he can fix its exhaust leak. I love having a mechanic in the family. It'll be done for half of what Midas was going to charge.

Anyway, so, i'm probably going to bring my computer, but since I can't get wifi in the room where I sleep there (it's this kinda-seperated room there, upstairs over the garage, so the wifi doesn't reach it), I probably won't really get on beyond just checking email and whatever. I might get on and start a thread or two at the party, I'll see, but for all intents and purposes, I'm not around.

Of my kiddos, Amalia, Penny, and David are at the party, and they want to socialize! Particularly Penny, who will be getting pretty toasted as the night goes on, as she usually does.

So start up whatever you want with any of mine! Aside from a David/MA (which, squee!), and possibly Penny making out with Allie, I have no set plans, and I am up for anything! And I'll be back sometime on Tuesday, afternoon at the latest, I'm not planning on being up there all day. More than likely just going to wake up and leave, so I'll be back here pretty early-ish.

I am a sheep...

Erin mentioned she was doing the 100Q and it reminded me that I still hadn't done it for Brad or Jason, so I'm going to get working on those, because I am so insanely bored right now.

And first off, here we go with Brad!

I don't think I have a life anymore.

Today has been spent watching "Psych" (which I love!) and not a whole lot else. I went to the grocery store. That was about it. Yesterday was "Psych" too. I want to be on "Psych", like on the crew or as an extra or something. I think I need to move to Vancouver.

Tonight is Golden Globes. Right now is my man Ryan Seacrest.

And this post has had no point at all.

I need to find stuff to do with Jason. I think I just said that so there would be some semblance of something to this post.

Also, the weather here is so insanely WTF, I don't even know where to begin.

There is a very very small chance of there being snow here, during the night or early in the morning. Whatever we do get will be flurries or a light dusting.

No snow has fallen yet, and we don't know if any snow will fall.

And all the schools here are already on at least a 2 hour delay tomorrow.

Can't wait to see what kind of panic ensues tomorrow.

Ok, threads for NL!

Throw them at me, I will do them!

I especially want stuff for... well, anyone who's not David. I have a ton planned for him, and not really much for anybody else.

I feel like I'm begging for threads. I don't know. I just want to do stuff. Any stuff. Name it and I'm sure I'll want to do it.

... I hate when I break a nail
