[Friday January 5th, 2007 at 9:36pm] Also, I love fire escapes. I will write more about this later. Seriously, I can't think of many places I'd rather be than a good fire escape. | comment?

[Friday January 5th, 2007 at 9:27pm] [ music | Californniaaaaa! ] Take a deep breath, everyone. Prepare yourselves. The OC is being...canceled (p.s. it's very disturbing to me that I think for a long time, I must have been spelling 'canceled' wrong. Cancelled. It just looks better). I know a lot of people will be like, "Meh meh, first season was the only good season, it sucked anyway", but no! Fourth season was being amazing! There was activity in the...ahem, fandom...again! Ben Mackenzie didn't want to kill himself on the set every day! Marissa was so incredibly dead! But I guess they had to make room for another season of Ice Dancing with Flava Flav or whatever, because it is no more. Sigh. Not really a big deal, when you get down to it. I haven't watched The OC regularly (or at all, really) in a looong time. It's just so weird, because lying on my couch in the basement, watching, and talking to Alycia on the phone for an hour on Thursdays was such a thing for a while. The OC was my first real introduction to fic, to fandom, to livejournal. And while I've tried to write Harry Potter, it never really comes out the same. Also: I think I'm sick. I told Kate and Louis this today, but for serious, I'm writing a post about a show cancellation. Methinks it's time to take my temperature again. 1 | comment?

And i know things, they gotta change [Thursday December 28th, 2006 at 8:31pm] * With 2007 approaching like Megan doing her seductive walk, it's basically time for my annual New Year update. Wooo! Get out your party poppers and your boxed wine, because it is party time! Seriously, though, 2006 has been...interesting. There were periods in the spring when I was pretty unhappy, but there has also been a lot of time (especially recently) that I've been really happy. By no means an ideal year, but it's ending on a great note (hahaha watch, I say that now...in three days, my house will have been hit by an asteroid). And I think I've become more confident, more invested in my time at Grinnell, and more sure of the people I want to spend time with. I feel like I say every year that it's a learning process, but that's because I'm fucking right and also awesome. Hahaha seriously, though, what else can you do? I haven't done a great job with everything this year - I handled a few situations really badly, I hurt people, and I dropped the ball in a class this semester. But whatever, I can move on. I was talking to Jon last night about the whole when-I-was-sort-of-crazy-in-high-school situation, and it feels strange to talk about it because I think of it as being over. I've wanted so badly for so long to cut that part of my personality out, but I don't think it really works like that. And I'm coming to realize that if people love you, they love you with your issues, not just the part of you that's funny and social and confident and pretends that everything's in the past. And even if I don't talk about the Louis situation (or the Sally situation, for that matter) every day, it can still be a comfortable part of my history. Anyway, that's about it. I hate New Year's resolutions, but next year, I hope I can be a better friend. A better, more attentive, more responsible friend - and a better student. I hope that I can live up to my potential in both roles. It's really lame to quote something right now, but in Kipling's "If", he says, "If all men count with you, but none too much." Ahh, none too much. I should have that tattooed on my faaace. Anyway, I'm really done being angsty or whatnot now. So without further ado, my being-continually-updated list of great moments. ( Some had crumbled you straight to your knees - did it cruel, did it tenderly ) 2 | comment?
