Yeah, okay. I know. I haven't been posting.

Sorry.
But I've been busy with school full time, and work nearly (if not) full time, and I'm a Maid of Honour so I'm out doing that, and now I don't have a car so transportation takes remarkably longer, and also I suddenly made a few friends, so my time at home/on the computer is very limited. I also have a few papers due tomorrow (yes, a week after school started), so this will be short, sweet, and easy.

Also, I've got a sweet few costume projects that I may or may not be noting as time moves towards halloween, Peach being the favourite costume of mine this halloween, but there will be more. And also, I'm still working towards xmas gifts.

I bought a used bag of stuffing to finish one of them, though, and I ended up finding Larder beetles in the stuffing. Needless to say, I didn't use the stuffing.

Also, did you know that not all of the big ol' flies you see in your house are houseflies? Some of them are cluster flies, and the differences that you can tell them by are that the wings are an overlapping instead of triangular shape. So, if the wings overlap, they're a cluster fly. If they don't, they are likely a housefly.

I went to Clair's today and bought these nailpolishes because they were mood nailpolishes, which is hilarious.

And they're pretty neat!

And:

On my fingers(above).

That's right. On my fingers is the purple, which goes pink because I'm "wild". haha. It's a heat thing, and I'm warm. If I play in cold water they go purple.

Cute, though!

That's right. September. 7th. 2010.

So, my school timetable is out. I bought a seven dollar sociology text today, because I honestly thought I had signed up for one. Psyche! It wasn't sociology. It was socio-anthropology.

Also, literally, psyche. First year psyche. I'm also taking a few anthropology classes and putting off the crappy ones that no one likes to take, so I can have one whole crappy year in the long run.

You know what though? I'm kind of excited. Everyone says "oh, it sucks, summer's over;" but I don't know. Summer is really boring. People go home, I work constantly, OSAP isn't paying for school so I'm just reading crappy fantasy books (although, if you ever get a chance to, read a book called "Mistress of the Art of Death" by Ariana Franklin.

Very, very, very good book. After the first few chapters, it gets to the point of "I can't put this down".

The bf wasn't a happy panda when I ignored him for an entire evening.

Then I had to read the second one in the series, too. Also good, very different. Still awesome writing.

While searching for these piccies, I learned that there are two more. I haven't read them. I'll have to put that on a to do list for this semester.

Anyway, aside, I have a sweet semester lined up, and two open days to work, but enough time around my classes to still have awesome free time. (ahem, study time).

I like school. And for the first time in a while, I think I might go. I'll probably laugh at people in the classes I have, because I mean, it's a bunch of psyche and philosophy classes and socio classes... (which I seem to remember hating in my first year anthropology class, but somehow found it extremely interesting. Read: the Wari tribe: Cannibals).

So, that's awesome. I'm not sad or disappointed. I'm excited. I might even go to a rugby game, and I might even not cheer for the visiting team.

I should probably finish my book from last year. I have it, I just don't have it all typed up. And then I should re-write it, because it SO doesn't follow a real sensicality. It jumps as I felt different emotions for different things as I went along and wrote it. That's okay. Still a good story. If you all only knew the ending.

September the Oneth, 2010

School starts soon ish, on the thirteenth. I'm happy to go back.

I'm working my butt off and therefore have no really awesome stories, since my work just fired someone and someone else walked out. A.K.A. sweet shifts for me!!

And also, I have nothing to talk about, but there is rice awaiting me so I will make this short: This is what my front room looks like now:

This is the coffee table. Note the numerous ex-gameboys and games, as well as current games and controllers and remotes. See how many you can spot!

We have one and a half game shelves. Yes, only the bottom chunk on the right are DVDs, VHSs in the very right hand corner. That orange bin? Controllers. Nintendo has it's own drawer and a half. The little bins off to the side of the orange bin? It holds controllers that are overflow (gamecube) and that are too big to fit into the orange bin (wiimote extras and the shooter gun for the NES.

Just two of the eight or so remotes that we have for items in the living room. IN THE LIVING ROOM. There's one in my bedroom too.

The TV setup. Behind the overloaded table, we have numerous game platforms.

I hope no one was planning on robbing my house after this, by the by.

A few of the other controllers, and games, and stuff... I can count 12 game-related things on or around that table, currently.

Do you think we have too many electronics, maybe? Sometimes I do, too.

But then I just play the xbox for a few hours and I forget.
