12:02 am - Everybody wants a piece of me EXCEPT job recruiters.
Door: Ding dong.
Me: Ooh, someone wants to TALK to me! Allow me to scamper downstairs and oh shit they're carrying Bibles.
Bible Beaters: Hi! Allow us to read context-less verses of bland and inoffensive character and ask leading questions!
Me: *blathers about astronomy and history, desperately trying to pull the conversation around to something I can relate to*
Bible Beaters: *glorp around my clever conversational cantrips, like slightly alarming vanilla pudding*
Me: ....yeah, I'm gonna take a nap. *closes the door, locks it firmly and seals the cracks against further vanilla glorp*

**a few days later**

Phone: Ring ring.
Me: Ooh, someone wants to TALK to me! Hello, you've reached Moogle!
McCollege Recruiter: You're looking to go to school! What semester can I sign you up for?
Me: ...whut? But I've already been to-
McCollege Recruiter: We don't have a graphic design department anymore, let's shove you into IT instead! We offer an associate's degree-
Me: I already have one of those. And I'm not getting my bachelor's with you guys even if you offered one, kthx.
McCollege Recruiter: 'Kay! :D
Me: *click* What was that about? *checks email*
Email: Yeah, babe, get this. You remember when you shot them an email asking about getting your transcripts? They didn't even read that shit, yo. They just took down your name as another potential mark.
Me: ...what the hell I sent that email months ago. Never mind reading it, they couldn't even get back to me before now?
Email: Yeah, I don't think these guys have their shit together, yo.
Me: ....why are you talking like Reno?
Email: Don't ask me, this is your anthropormorphization.

11:50 pm - Arrrrrrgh.
Emerging from under a pile of essays...bleh...

Newest Pet Peeve: Being in the room when my father watches something science-related. His new hobby is watching that show where the Japanese scientist guy talks about how you could make science fiction things with real science and COMPLAINING NON-STOP. Everything is "impossible" and "shoddy science" and "lazy." He has gone so far as to call the guy a hack.

My father has two degrees. One in geography, one in education. He does not read hard scifi. He reads comic books and crappy fantasy novels. He teaches fifth grade science. Apparently this makes him an expert in quantum physics.

Today he was explaining space elevators to my mother and scoffing about how ridiculous the idea was, because there's now way you can "use single one molecule-wide wire to shoot something into space."

I just...I don't want to be like that when I'm old.

09:49 pm - Thoughts from my five-second manic phase.
Hey, I got an idea.

I'll hire myself out to small geek venues - comic shops mainly, but local cons would work too - to dress up in cosplay and play Dance Dance Revolution. For an extra fee, I'll dress up as Starscream and call their fanboys 'pathetic flesh creatures.'

:D

.....yeah, the endorphins from exercise don't last long, but while they're there, I'm flying high with the birdies.

09:48 pm - Hit the power button, erase all save data, and reload.
Only I could turn a college acceptance letter into an occasion for angst.

07:36 pm - Made shinies! :D
For lack of anything else to brag about. *ducks* These taken from the new Birth by Sleep images.

Finally, a girl Keyblader! *cheers* (Kairi doesn't count, she's not playable.)

They look like they're having fun. XD

This one is my favorite.

Also, the DC council has voted to allow same-sex marriage in the district! YAY! *dances* On the other spectrum, a bunch of bishops-priests-and-whatnot have gotten together to make a Manhattan Declaration - just in case we'd forgotten that they still frown on that sort of thing. Here's the part that made me lol:

... the reason every civilization in history has defined marriage between men and women, is that society has a lot at stake in preserving continuity, in a wholesome way. It's quite clear that when men and women who have sex and make babies stay together. It's better for their children, and it's better that children grow up with their moms and dads -- and that's why societies have defined marriage, to protect making babies.

OH YOU WACKY FOLKS. Guys, I'm a history-degree dropout, and even I can come up with at least three reasons right off the bat why the above is a giant crock of bantha poodoo.

You guys, if this is the best the traditional-marriage crowd has to offer, I am no longer worried.

ALSO. Thank you, Rusty, for the e-cookie! And to whoever who gave me the e-chicken soup. ^_^

07:49 pm - I'm so sick of coughing.
Well, the snow's finally stopped. *peers out of window* After listening to the weather people, I was expecting a few flakes mixed in with all the rain - certainly nothing that would stick. Final verdict? Six inches of fluffy white stuff, easy. (That despairing cry you hear is the county's public school students going 'It couldn't have held off until tomorrow?'.)

It was really nice watching it come down this morning, not that I had a lot of time to watch with work and all. Big fat fluffy snowflakes, perfect for playing in. It's basically what you think of when you imagine a white Christmas. *slightly less Grinchy*

So! In that spirit, have one of those all-I-want-for-Xmas meme things that have been making the rounds. A bit late, but as you will see, it doesn't matter all that much.

( The Rules, for those who have been living under a rock the past couple of weeks. )

My list:
1. A low-stress, preferably not-People-heavy (but I repeat myself) job that will pay me enough to live on. If it's a second job that I can fit in around my current gig, that's cool, but for preference I'd like to have a few afternoons/evenings free to write and chat.
2. A little apartment of my own. If it's warm, clean and all the appliances work, I'll be happy, even if it's only one room in a basement somewhere. (Actually, a basement would be perfect, 'cause that way I could stomp around doing DDR without bothering anyone below me.)
3. A gold chocobo. Less maintenance required than an airship, and I could ride him all around the world visiting everybody! ...Plus, y'know, choco. ^____^
4. A Keyblade. I got some darkness to fight off, yo.
5. A modern Transformers movie with a decent story. I hate to admit it, but yeah, Bay can't do a decent narrative to save his soul. And his portrayal of women makes Frank Miller look progressive.
6. Some brain rewiring, so I can a) get shed of this freaking depression, and b) quit procrastinating so damn much.
7. A little sense of self-worth, pursuant to the above.
8. A stronger heart, likewise.
9. Magic powers and/or Materia. I'm not picky what, although a Haste/Stop/Slow would be useful.
10. Some muscle, which is about as likely as the above.

...Why yes, that was a little passive-aggressive of me. x_x
