I think delta S is about to shift into overdrive . . .

Hey guys,

Since my mate spent last weekend out here, I'm going to Buffalo this weekend. For those that don't know, he doesn't have internet right now, so don't expect me to be online, either here or on my messengers, until Sunday sometime.

Never seems I can sleep on the nights that I need to...

Anyway, the deep thought of the evening. Feeling alone can sometimes pack quite a punch to one's psyche. Heh, but sometimes, the realization that you may really not be alone, that there's someone there to walk with you through life, can pack just as much of an emotional punch as the former.

It's better than simbab's (and artfulreggie's)

This is just gonna touch on highlights of past few days and the next few:
-Nice weekend with my boyfriend czar_wolfhound. It's always nice to spend time with him no matter the circumstance, 'cause I end up feeling more relaxed. We watched 27 Dresses and Transamerica on Monday night, not sure one can really get much gayer than that.

-I DID NOT FAINT WHEN BLOOD WAS TAKEN ON MONDAY!!!!

-Movers are expensive, UHauls are not expensive.

-First taste of Guitar Hero this evening. I understand why it's addicting now. This was coupled with a nice evening spent with boomeroo and simbab, two folks I'll be sad to be leaving behind in the 'Cuse (though still well within driving distance, especially to set up in-apartment networks ;))

Next Few Days:
-Call Electric and Cable guys in Albany to make sure that's all turned on and whatnot when I move.

-Find my lost employment packet (Love, do you remember me taking it out of the doctor's office??)

-Pack

-Buy Mother's Day gift

-Pack up room at my parents' house

-PAPER

-Convocation is at 1:00pm on Saturday, practice is tomorrow at 3:30

-Clean out the lab

-Mother's Day dinner on Friday night

-And finally, the official moving day will be Monday, May 12th. I will officially be a resident of Albany. (Not precisely Albany, but i'm not getting more specific on here)

Going to Albany tonight, possibly more on that later.

However, I'm having one of those rare mornings where after getting ready to go, I look in the mirror and think "damn, I really am sexy."

This bout of temporary narcissism brought to you by the letter N...

So I had a dream last night that I was in the mafia. Not just any mafia mind you, it was the musical mafia. So take this entire dream in context of a musical. So I'm standing outside our storefront with a sack of money and this dude dressed in white steals it and some other money from us. He's from a competing mafia. He vaguely reminded me of an adult version of someone I knew in middle school o_o. Any rate, he doesn't kill me and says he won't kill me if I do three things for him. I don't remember what they were, but one had to do with travel. Well then he made a joke of kissing me and was surprised I kissed back and we ended up on the pavement making out.

Now, my mafia, was apparently producing, you guessed it, a musical. We decided we were going to get rid of the seat cushions, and I thought to myself, "I can sell these as suitcases." So I sold to them to the other mafia as suitcases and this somehow fulfilled one of my three requirements.

The next day is women's day at our theater. Our promotion? We were giving away free nuns. So as this is announced, a second curtain on a side wall pulls up and there's a chorus line of dancing nuns, all in habit. Not just any habit though, they were glittery and almost sequined. And if that doesn't disturb you enough, they weren't real, they were puppets.

Yes, I dreamt of a chorus line of sequined nun puppets.

I woke up at this point and decided it best not to go back to sleep.

I just really couldn't resist this when I saw it while hanging out with simbab last night at the mall.




"First, we will send our troops to Watertown, then Albany, then Binghamton. A small brigade will go to Elmira, and then major attacks on Buffalo and Rochester. Soon, we shall control all of upstate! *insert evil laughter*"

Well, today I officially turned in my intent to graduate form...let the countdown begin yes/no?

So, I usually spend my weekends decently away from my computer, i.e. not checking LJ. Over the last two weekends, upon revisiting LJland, I had 20 and 21 new posts from friends respectively.

Guess who had 10 of those posts each time *cough* simbab *cough* ;-)

I love deliverin' orders to people high on pot..."But I'm so sad..."

So, I spent yesterday and today in Albany, interviewing with AMRI (http://www.amriglobal.com). That was fun, I was scheduled to talk to 6 people, and by the end of the fifth one, I was pulled aside and told I was already officially getting an offer :) Given that has been pretty much the only bite I've had, and that I like the company (and that it's one HELL of an offer), this pretty much means I'm taking it.

So otter is more or less officially moving to Albany. Yay?!?

Just posting here so I won't forget this and to share with folks.

As I was leaving work today, I noticed a sign posted near the time-clock addressed to the cooks.

"There is no class on March 21st, so we will serve omelettes until 2pm . . . ." So apparently here at Syracuse, when we have a day off, we eat omelettes all day long :P

I'm not really sure what to post here, aside from the subject line itself.

Happiness is a warm body, and it's a great happiness indeed :-)

Yeah, ok so I forgot to post this, and I don't feel like doing the edit thing.

Those of you who have been around long enough *cough* akelavincent especially *cough* know that usually a big change in my life is accompanied by a change in my fursona, followed by a change of livejournal. Well, I be graduating in May, and that's quite the big change now isn't it? So as you might expect, the itch has come to change some stuff about my fursona.

I feel pretty comfortable as an otter, so I'm not entirely sure of giving that up. I might simply just revamp his look and style. At the same time though, said otter is beginning to have some baggage, and I don't like that. I've had a few suggestions from a few folks about possible species changes, and I'll list 'em here. Askin' for opinions and ideas on these.

Ok, so how about a little less emo post hmmm?

Well, even this one starts with bad news. Got a rejection letter from UTexas on Saturday. My dad called me while I was back with the other suiters to tell me, and it kind of dampened things a bit, though I didn't tell anyone right then.

Speaking of suiters...So my Saturday was spent at a kids expo in Albany. Albany is an interesting city to say the least; it's like upstate and downstate made love, and Albany was their love child. First impression of the city wasn't grand though, as I got myself a bit turned around. The highway system around those parts reminds me strikingly of Pittsburgh (and those of you who have driven around down there know what I mean when I say this isn't a good thing :P). Any rate, the kids expo, a lot of fun, a lot of little kids, a lot of advertising. My thought of the day was "hook'em when they're young." I spotted a bit for cliff_husky while he suited the second time around. When the group went out for a third time, he was too thrashed, so I donned the suit. He tells me I was pretty natural at it. I really enjoyed myself. I really have a fondness for little kids, and it was awesome to see them all waving at me and mostly smiling (aside from the weee little kids who were scared). Two of them tried to take me home o_0. I don't know if I'd wanna suit around a con so much though, 'cause let's be honest, the part I enjoyed most was being able to interact with the little kids and make them happy. Plus, I could really be my dorky self, and it's "cute" instead of "weird." Lack of depth perception though is killer hehe.

Afterwards, diner with the whole group of us, then Cliff and I went back to his place and attempted to watch movies, though mostly we slept through them. After more diner fare the next afternoon, I headed back home. I really don't know what to think of the Hudson Valley area. It's weird, because it's sort of like home, but not really. I mean, there are definitely familiar styles and things around there (it's still upstate afterall) but at the same time, there was a definite different flavor to the way things were styled and organized.

To end on a good note to counteract the starting bad note, on Friday I got an email from Albany Molecular. I have a phone interview setup for March 12th. That'd be awesome if that could pan out for me. Still kind of waiting on UFI to give me a ring though...

So yeah, last post was January 10th, or my mother's birthday. Not only have I not been posting, haven't really been reading LJ much either. Ok, that's an understatement, haven't been reading it at all period.

So, here's the deal. Going to pair down my friends list a bit. Certain people I'd like to keep, some I'm assuming I'm going to jettison. But I'll leave that up to y'all. If you really want kept, comment. If you really want off, well, comment or just unfriend me, no harsh feelings. If you just simply don't care, then say nothing, and I'll make my own decisions :P

So I've repeated this story enough for me to want to post it:

I went to have my muffler replaced (thing was shot all to hell) and it turned the tail pipe had rusted, again. Midas quotes me at 375 to replace it, but my dad swore up and down that this garage down on the south side of Binghamton could do it for 100. I begrudgingly agree and go down to this place that looks like the type of garage you'd see in a movie. They still charged me 300, so I saved 75 bucks, but not more than 20 minutes later I hear a rather large and sharp thump under my car, and now it's louder than ever. Thus, I must drive BACK down to Binghamton and tell those guys to fix what they didn't do right.

My life has been weird since I posted what I did yesterday. Weird and rather stressful, though not in the ways you would think.

CJ, if you are reading this, I would like to chat with you about something of importance to me.

511 series yesterday, third time in four weeks bowling over 500. Though I wasn't too pleased with this particular one because my spare shots were way off their marks.

Oh, and classes start Monday, fun times.

First as a point of note. I have not been on LJ since probably last week sometime. I have read barely any LJ's since then, and I don't really intend to catch up on any of them either. Thusly, if there's something you REALLY want me to read, or something you were really expecting me to comment on/want me to comment on, either leave me a comment/link here, or let me know somehow. I apologize for the absence, it's explained below.

Finals are kicking my ass.

Biochem sucked, but I don't feel bad 'cause it sucked for everyone involved. A problem that requires upwards 15 chemical reactions, writing all intermediate structures, and rememberance of every enzyme/coenzyme/cofactor involved should not be worth 20/150 points on a test, and should not be one of ten other questions when there are only 2 hours to take said test. As I said, I didn't do well, but no one did, and he's bell-curving this shit so I should be ok.

Organic III was much the same deal, only I think I did worse than most people. Maybe I was tired or maybe I studied the wrong shit (ok I did study the wrong shit) but that test was not pretty either, way below my average. I'll still pass just fine, just probably with a lower grade than I wanted to get.

Polymer Lab final was B+/A- which is awesome. Finally finished writing the lab report for it, so that class should be done now...

Polymer lecture I have the final for in 40 minutes. Not looking forward to it really as I don't know that stuff as well as I knew the lab stuff.

Still to do: Polymer lecture final Pt 2 (review of a paper), Polymer Term Paper (it's "written", I just have to write it), Info Lit loose ends. Then I have to clean my apartment, go back to my folks' place and reset everything up there, finish applications, and work on some tagging (no Jarrell, I did NOT forget :P)

Any rate, this is why I have not been on LJ, not been on messengers, and essentially disappeared. I'll return to the wide world of the internet when it's feasible for me to do so.

Notes: Was thinking of doing a party thing for new years at my apartment, but I'm doubting that idea now. May end up spending with Dave et al in Buffalo.
Thank God next semester isn't going to be like this...

Those of you living in Syracuse know what I mean...

Nearly 5 hours doing deliveries in snow coming down so fast that I had to brush off my car every time I went out. The roads were covered in snow, and I was spinning like a whirlygig, and of course with bad weather, no one wants to go out so everyone orders for delivery instead.

Tonight made Austin seem REAL appealing.

Oh well, you got to do what you got to do when it comes to your job, even if you have to be out in this crap.

My boyfriend set an IGoogle weather widget to Syracuse so he'd know what weather I was dealing with on a daily basis.

Why do I find this so endearing, and why is this making me all sorts of giddy happy to the point where I can't seem to stop smiling?
