Good night, and good luck...

Ah, 2012. Disaster porn. We could all die soon, or not. But it's good to know that Hollywood is at least aware of it.

Current Mood: pensive

Happy Birthday, Wilder : )

Current Mood: excited

Don't feel so hot. Sleepy, sore (where my kidneys are, 'cause they're in the back, right?) and going to the mall with my sister tomorrow then fixing up my apartment. I have no idea why I'm awake.

Oh yeah, the pain that has suddenly increased : (

Current Mood: sore
Current Music: eh

Do I admit that I quit early, and didn't even try?

Maybe.

Journalism feels so familiar to me. I never once opened a textbook, except for the AP Style book, which I'm guessing even some NY Times editors open every now and then. I aced it. I knew it before it was taught in class. Because it was natural, I stuck with it.

Philosophy was- is foreign. Socrates, Aristotle, Kant... the list goes on, and I need my textbook. Worse, I need someone to explain it to me, as if I were back in algebra- which, by the way, never resulted in higher than an F.

So I dropped it. Even though one professor found me interesting and bent the rules to keep me in his class, and the other one drops the lowest test score and excuses random absences.

Fear? Yes. Smart? Maybe. Regretful?

...

Current Mood: listless
Current Music: Seinfeld, I think

This town needs an enema.

Current Mood: lethargic

OK so there was a suspected bank robbery at Bank of America on Ventura and Cedros and I went to go see and the cops asked me if I was the media and I said yes, and I got to go to the back of the building with KCAL, ABC, CBS, KTLA and talk to a captain in the LAPD and it was awesome.

Current Mood: great

I saw a shark! In the ocean! Twice!

That happened on Friday morning but I'm still glowing.

Current Mood: sleepy

He was born in Hawaii, idiots. I know that since it's not physically connected to the the rest of the country you people have a hard time conceiving that he's an American citizen. This is probably because you can't drive a giant SUV to get there, and that hurts your tiny brains.

Get over it. No, I mean it.

So a black man won. Fairly. I know that most if not all of you "birthers" have a hard time understanding fair elections, but I'm done being patient with you. More importantly, I'm done laughing at you.

And for the record, if you're going to fake a birth certificate, you really want to get your geography right. Although the fact that you couldn't doesn't shock me at all.

Shut the hell up.

Current Mood: pissed off

If you get pulled over for making an illegal left turn, does that go on your driving record? Is there some guy somewhere who now has my information and the fact that I made a left when I shouldn't have and now it's going to haunt me for the rest of my life?

Current Mood: depressed

The theme for Law + Order: Criminal Intent is terrible. They're trying way too hard.

And yes, this is the second time I've posted about the theme music from Law + Order. If they didn't want me to they wouldn't be on TV all the time.

Current Mood: moody
Current Music: Law + Order: Criminal Intent

I want jello right now the same way I wanted Pippin back when I was a nerd... okay, nerdier.

Current Mood: hungry
Current Music: Gremlins...? Maybe? Ask Wilder

My keyboard lights up. I have nothing else to say, really. Oh wait -

Blue Shield is bullshit. They cover nothing. I mean nothing. Checkups, blood work, ER visits (though it's been a while since I had to go to the ER... since I quit drinking, actually) prescriptions...

N O T H I N G

And I'm still paying them $1101 every what, four months?

Not cool. And if I went solo, what do you think the odds are I'd actually get something they would've covered? I think pretty good.

Current Mood: angry

Haha I'm 29. I seem to remember making fun of 29 year olds when I first moved here.

Current Mood: 29
Current Music: It's very quiet... birthday blues, maybe?

I'm about to be 29... in 8 days
My parents bought me a new laptop - MacBook, aluminum blah blah lots of memory big hard drive I don't care - the keyboard lights up!

I went to JPL's Open House last weekend, and had no idea I was such a space nerd. Let me clarify - I understood none of it, but I was really interested. Wilder understood all of it, including ion propulsion. While the guy was explaining it, he asked intelligent questions while I collected the Discovery Adventure Cards.

I do, however understand the Spitzer telescope and the differences between it and the Hubble... sorta.

I've gone a little nerd in this post. I can't help it. My keyboard lights up!

Current Mood: cheerful

And the food just arrived
So I'm on this other murder trial - well, it's pre-trial at this point. The boyfriend disappeared shortly after his girlfriend disappeared, only to be arrested in Minneapolis after his girlfriend was found in a trashcan in Arcadia buried under kitty litter.

*sighs*

I promised the (my) boyfriend this case wouldn't be like the last one, where I see the dead girl in mirrors, pools of water, nightmares etc. I hope I can keep that promise.

And that I can eat the food that he just bought all of us. Ironically, I have to get kitty litter or I'm going to be very sorry when I get home.

Current Mood: moody
Current Music: not listening

So I'm covering this murder trial, and I see the dead girl everywhere. I see her in my dreams, in the mirror, in the puddles on the ground.

I'm handling it - I must be, because I keep going back.

I'm handling it because somebody has to.

Current Mood: restless
Current Music: an old laptop serving me well

It’s late. It’s too late to be doing what I’m doing, because I have to get up early and there’s no point to it either.

I hate the “What If” game, do you? I hate it beecause there are so many things I would take back if I could, my unique personality + character be damned.

I don’t think either of those things are all that great anyway.

People ask me why I’m so unfriendly toward myself, and I am always amused and frightened by the question.

If I told you, then you wouldn’t like me either, I think to myself. And I need you, so maybe we can just forget I said anything.

Current Mood: sad

Job posting "Writer Needed" on craigslist...

"Pay commiserate with experience"

Yeah, you do. You needed one yesterday.
