LiveJournal is BAAACK! *Weeps happily*
Jan. 15th, 2005 09:58 pmIt's sad how creepily dependent I am on this site. O.o; One day or so of it being down, and I'm surfing around the internet going, "WHYYY? What am I supposed to do with myself?!"
I've had a string of bad luck physically over the past few days. The day after the lovely failed-glomp, I was jogging up the stairs from J-wing to S-wing, and I underestimated a step and fell. It was quite painful, actually. I scraped and bruised both of my legs simultaneously, but I picked myself up quickly and started continuing up to Anatomy.
One second after I fell (literally one second) later, I got hit in the neck by a snowball. -_-;; Someone was aiming for their friend, missed, and hit me. They said sorry, but I wasn't in the greatest mood, so it didn't make me feel much better.
By the time this was over with, I was shaky just because I was in a little bit of pain and somewhat grumpy, too. When I got to Anatomy, Erin was nice and got me a wet paper towel to get the blood away, so I felt a lot better once it wasn't bleeding anymore.
Then it started hurting again because we were looking at pictures of skinned cats for the whole period. ._.;
Speaking of skinned cats, that's what we're doing this Thursday in Anatomy. Dissecting cats. >.< I'm slightly frightened by this, because I'm such an animal lover and all... They were euthanized at shelters, so it's not like I could have changed their fate by not dissecting them (as Mr. Larsen said, "It's just a shortcut on the way to them being cremated anyway..."), but I wonder how I'm going to feel about poking around a cat's dead body.
I suppose this was haunting my unconscious more than I thought it was, because I dreamed about it last night. o.o In it, we [meaning me and...Erin maybe? Someone...] were at this barn. It seemed dark and rainy outside, but we were somehow outside at the same time as being in the barn, so I don't know... There was a tarp laid out with three bodies for dissecting-- a cow, a sheep, and a cat. None of them were skinned yet, so someone went up to the cat and started to shave its fur off with an electric animal-hair clipper. That was when I realized that the cat was my cat Princess, and she was still alive. So, I stopped them quickly and we let Princess go. It was scary...
Next, we went to dissect the cow and the sheep. I kept getting close to them with the scalpel, but I couldn't bring myself to do anything with it. The closer I got with the scalpel to the animals, they would start twitching in this creepy way, and I would cringe and look away.
I don't remember much else about the dream other than seeing Princess again with some of the fur on her head shaved off, and feeling sick at the reminder that they almost cut her up. *Shudder* Weird dream... I don't normally have negative dreams like that, so I didn't like it.
I swear I'm not *that* worried about the cat dissection. o.o
Today, the first thing I did when I woke up was start watching Naruto with Ryan. We watched about...nine episodes in total, I think.
I was very touched by the whole Zabuza/Haku storyline. ;_; *Sniffle* No, I didn't actually cry, but I was moved a lot more than I usually am in most anime. It was just so beautiful. Ryan started sobbing when Kakashi set Zabuza down next to Haku's body. I don't blame him, to be honest.
I think I might just have to buy some Naruto, because I can find mass quantities of it for very cheap and it's a good show. I'm not going to become obsessed with it or anything (it'll maybe make top ten, if that), but it has a lot of soul and a lot of beautiful moments.
The rest of the day was spent almost entirely in the car listening to/singing along to music. Maybe it was because of Naruto, maybe not, but today I was more emotionally affected by the music I was listening to than usual. Lots of shivers. I listened to mostly Yoko Kanno, as usual.
Dad and I drove around (with the music very loud) doing errands for several hours. Also, we went over to Wendy's (his ex(?)-girlfriend) and helped her put a light in her bathroom. -_-; I hate it how she makes Dad do all these stupid chores for her. Why can't she just do them herself? Is she that lazy? Anyway, I can only bear being in her house for about twenty minutes (it's drab and completely un-colorful, and it practically radiates boredom), so after a while I left and sat in the car while Dad finished putting the lights up.
Ryan had a basketball game at Scotten School from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM. Again, I sat in the car for the whole hour and listened to Yoko Kanno. I did not want to go into a loud, bright room of kids playing basketball when I could be peacefully listening to Yoko Kanno in the dark car, thankyouverymuch.
Throughout the course of the day, I also cleaned Zephyr's cage, burned MORE AMVs on CD-Rs, considered doing fanart, and talked to Nicole on the phone.
All my friends are busy because of finals, so I've been slightly on the lonely side. It's hard sometimes because Nicole's mom is always making her babysit and do chores, in addition to all of Nicole's homework, so she can't come over that much any more. And Cody has studying to do for finals, though I may call him anyway to see what he's up to...
I should call KK tomorrow and see if she can come over. She might be swamped by finals, too, but I should at least try.
I'm gonna go now--there's an interesting show on TV. Love you all! ...I have to start writing the cat-human-sacrifice story at some point, too. I'm currently debating over whether I want the cat to be rabid or not. Opinions? I know you don't know much about the story, but would rabies be cool to put in it?

Date: 2005-01-19 01:50 am (UTC)Random things:
1. I love you, too. Oh, and I need to see your Touma shirt.
2. Tell Cody I love him, 'cuz I do. >.>
3. Did yo ever get that blue Gravi shirt?
no subject
Date: 2005-01-19 03:18 am (UTC)1. I love you too, too. ^_^ What Tohma shirt? Makayla has a Tohma shirt... as in, a shirt that looks like Tohma's. Actually, several.
2. I'll tell Cody tomorrow that you love him. (If I had read this response sooner, I could've told him on the phone about ten minutes ago...)
3. I got the blue Gravi shirt, but they only make them in kids sizes (WTF? Shounen-ai for CHILDREN?!), so it was TINY. Seriously. Nicole's pretty small, and even she wouldn't fit in it if she tried. Mom's sending it back for a refund sometime this week.

Date: 2005-01-19 09:24 pm (UTC)2. YAY!
3. OMG, shounen-ai for children. My faith in this world has been renewed. >D Because I'm too cheap to buy it, my mom said I could remake it somehow. So, if mine works out, I could make you one if you want. ^_^
no subject
Date: 2005-01-20 12:48 am (UTC)2. I did, and he was kind of like, "Ummm...that's nice. And random. But nice..."
3. OMG I'd love you! Just tell me if it works out. Oh, and ask your parents sometime if we could figure out a way for me to send you stuff. I think it'd be fun to be able to send you stuff if I feel like it. ;_; We could always use an instant messenger and use voice chat or something... TRF-chan can tell you I'm certainly harmless.

Date: 2005-01-20 01:06 am (UTC)1. Okay, will do!
2. Random is my mother's name! ^_^ (Well, it's Randomnosity, if you remember...)
3. Yes, definitely. PO Boxes are a little much, and plus sizes of packages vs. the box can present a problem. I'll ask my parents if they can receive things at work, and if not, you may be able to send things to me through Jennifer...I just have to ask.
