my second and final grade for this semester was an A+, which brings my GPA to a 3.916 (fucking bastard professor gave me a B+ last semester - brough my entire GPA down). *grins* so i guess i can keep on doing the drunk and stupid thing without worrying about my grades. lol.

heh
music: people yappin' mood: ok
so apparently i suck at the whole updating thing lately. funny, considering i used to do it all the time. and it's not like i don't have things to say... it's just that when i come to writing them down, i get lazy. yes, you heard me right - lazy. i had an incredible weekend, thanks to matt and jen. their party kicked my ass so hard, i had to sleep all of sunday. heh. i will definitely be going to those as often as i can :) there are also lots of photos that i have yet to get off of my camera (again, due to laziness), which i will eventually put up.
in other news, i got one of my grades back from the semester (oh yea, it's over) - an A in desktop publishing. lol. now i am waiting for my other grade, which i am confident will be similar.
also, korova has been acting as my second home this week. i'm not complaining :D

sometimes i get so emotional
music: office noises mood: extatic
but not about what you'd think :D
yesterday after class, i walked home and took my time getting there. once i was home, there was nothing left to do but gather my stuff and head back out to go stand on line for star wars. i got there around 8:30, joining james and a few of his friends who had been there since 8 o'clock. we were going to be eight people, so we wanted to make sure that not only would we have all of our seats together, but that they would be in a good spot. i was soooooo tired. after getting next to no sleep the night before and having had a hang over most of the day, by the time they let us in to sit down, i was so tired that i took a short nap. after all, we did have another hour and a half to kill.
i am not one to 'review' movies or books, nor do i think that it is my place to do so. but i will say that the movie kicked major fucking ass, and lucas finally made some points - making up for the crap/laziness he presented us with previously. i was actually tearing a couple of times during the movie, and not during any of the silly 'romantic' scenes either. i was so excited to be watching this, i was tearing at the opening credits. heh.
let it be said that i am a huge dork. i love star wars more than any other movie (yes, including nightmare) and i can't wait to start on my new tattoo...

health updates
music: pantera - 5 minutes alone mood: good
pain from walking yesterday or not, i decided that walking to work today was a good idea... and i'm glad i did. there's nothing like beginning your day with a little workout. truthfully, if i had the time, i'd probably actually go to the gym every morning. however, that requires going out of my way and would be way more time consuming than a 40 minute walk.
i feel good.
i took my bandage off this morning. i'm obviously still bruised and i still have this icky sticky thing on it to keep the stitches in place, but there is no swelling and i get the results on friday.

AIDS walk
music: silence mood: soooooooo tired
holy crap! lol. i don't remember when my feet hurt this much last. it must have been back on the first day of one retail job or another... or perhaps on the first day of waiting tables somewhere. both are things, which i have not done in years. the fact that i'm not used to this anymore also explains why i am in relatively bad shape. hell, i used to be able to be on my feet, running around for twelve hours a day. perhaps i should take up a part time waitressing gig? lol. now THERE'S an idea. haha.
anyway, i got up this morning before my alarm clock went off, and was just fine getting out of bed. i had gone to sleep rather early the night before, so i was well rested and such. got ready and left the house, and then got a call from crystal, saying she was going to be slightly late. so instead of taking a bus and the subway to where i was going, i walked that too. she got there about 20 minutes after i did and we were off to sign in. this was a rather quick process and then we headed over to stand around for a while, waiting to begin. there were way too many speakers, and the walk ended up starting a little late... everyone that was there was a bit on the anxious side when they let us get passed the barricade. the walk was good, the weather was nice (albeit on the muggy side), and we completed it in just about two and a half hours. we were both dead by the time we reached the finish line, so we parked our asses somewhere before getting up to go eat. then, after sushi, i came home and passed out and will not be moving until tomorrow morning, when it's time to go to work. heh.

figures
music: silence mood: still sleepy
well, even though i had been planning on going out last night for the longest time, after taking a nap i had decided to just stay in the same position i was in. lying down. lol. i felt bad since i had told a whole bunch of people i was definitely going, but i ended up calling them and canceling. my body requires rest, after all. i want to recover quickly. anyway, as i made this decision in my head, and rolled over to look at my laptop, there was an IM from paul expressing his own boredom. he suggested he come hang out... and although i felt bad having someone with a broken leg come all the way up to the 5th floor (i live in a walk-up), i invited him to join me if he felt compelled to do so. i do have to admit that he was up here faster than most people who have no injuries usually are. lol. we didn't do anything terribly exciting, but we did watch the incredibles, which i have yet to see. it was adorable. hehe. we sat around watching random crap on TV till it got late, at which point i sent him hopping down the four flights of stairs he had come up earlier.
later today i have yet another quiet evening planned at home (this time by myself, unless someone decides that coming to visit is a good idea) so i can get enough rest for the aids walk on sunday. it all remains to be seen...

soooo...
music: TV mood: ouchie
i had my surgery. last night crystal came to stay with me so she wouldn't have to wake up at the ass crack of dawn to come to the hospital with me. we drank some baileys and watched tv. good times. this morning we got up with plenty of time to walk over to meet alison on the corner where the hospital is located. it was a nice and simple process since i've already done this at this hospital (oy). went right in, got my locker, went through the process, and was in the OR rather early. since this was a procedure that was done with local anesthesia, i was only mostly knocked out for the second half of the surgery. it was amusing talking to my doctor and nurses while they were working on me. it was like trying to have a conversation with someone in the morning, when you're not quite awake yet. lol. anyway, they did what i asked... they put extra bandaging on it this time so i don't feel vulnerable from the first minute. it was a short procedure and i was in the recovery room within 45 minutes. then, they are required to keep me there for about an hour. i swear, these procedures are the best naps ever. though they leave me lethargic. so it took me a while to 'recover' while being fed muffins and having tea. crystal and alison were waiting for me when i was done and we all walked back to my apartment. but it was so nice and the anesthetic had not yet completely worn off (so i wasn't in pain yet) so we walked a few blocks and went to get some food. once we were done and back in my apartment, i was getting super tired and was starting to get a little achy. took a nap and got up in time for lucid to come over to cheer me up (and keep me amused).
now it's just me again. i'm pretty sure i'm going to have to take some pain killers tonight cuz the pain has been asserting itself a little more in the last hour or so. we shall see...

weekend updates and such
music: a perfect circle - the package mood: ouchie
good times friday night. too lazy to update, though, so i'm going to let the photos speak for themselves. photos from denise's party can be found here and photos from korova are here. there are also more photos that crystal took, right here.
in other news, i'm finally done with my back!! i can hardly believe it. i mean, it's only been five years since steve started working on it (and on my arms). i will actually be able to enter it in this coming weekends tattoo convention for one of the contests... however, i think i might just go and hang out there instead. after all, i am going to be bandaged up from another surgery.

pure wrongness
music: that 70s show (that's right, again) mood: full
i just saw a wrongest commercial ever... when i'm sitting here, watching random crap on television (well, not watching exactly - more like listening and occasionally glancing in the general direction), i don't really expect to hear yoda's voice. moreover, when i do lift my eyes and actually see him on the screen, i most certainly do not expect him (and chewbacca) to be a part of a pepsi commercial. something about that just doesn't sit right. lol.

wonderful friends
music: that 70s show mood: sleepy
after work, i got to meet up with martha, whom i have not seen in a while. we work in the same area so we got together over there and headed down town. i was in the mood to go somewhere i had never been before, so she took me over to kate's joint. since i am now trying to stick to mostly healthy food, this was wonderful :) we sat there for a while, enjoying the food and catching up. later, we wandered around the city - doing what girls do... shopping, of course. i'm not sure how but i ended up with a pair of 5lb weights. lol. i suppose it will be a good thing to add to the little workout i already do every day. we shall see.
in other news, i finally cleaned my apartment!! it was so messy and dusty for so long, my black furniture was nearly grey (:P) and my chairs were not occupiable (is that a word?). hehe.
tomorrow morning i shall wake up at the ass crack of dawn to do the homework i was too lazy to do tonight. i'm just so thrilled to do homework these days, woudn't you say? perhaps i should go to sleep.
ps - to all of you who offered to come along on friday, i thank you all very much. however, i realize that i phrased my request slightly wrong... i have the appointment on friday, in which the doctor will tell me when the surgery will take place. i need someone to escort me to the hospital on the day of the surgery. it's actually required. i suppose they don't want me to bust my ass on the way home. heh. so i will keep those of you who offered to accompany me posted. you do not know how grateful i am to all of you :)

stuff and more stuff
music: server hum mood: meh
well, as mentioned in the previous entry, on friday i will find out when the surgery is. meh. who wants to come with me? i need an escort to the hospital, which is a few blocks from my house. just thought i'd put it out there...
in other news, i had a really silly exam last night in one of my classes. i basically had to recreate a web page that my professor most likely laid out in photoshop (i.e. not actually a web page) and make it functional. it would have taken me 20 minutes, but we were required to use dreamweaver, which i cannot stand. lol. dreamweaver makes things more complicated. i always end up correcting its code anyway (hence the longer time to create the page). either way, it was a success. LOL. tell me again when is this semester over?
other than that my week is looking rather bland. nothing too spectacular planned (well, except for my wonderful trip to the doctor on friday). perhaps i should finally clean my apartment? heh. i might head over to my usual friday night hang out. however, considering i don't drink any longer, it might be slightly odd being completely sober in a place where people are busy getting sloshed. of course, it might be interesting... in all likelihood, though, i will most probably end up staying at home. but it's only tuesday, so who knows?

wonderful
music: office sounds mood: nervous
it's not official yet, but i'm pretty sure i'm going to be told i have to have another surgery. i can't take this anymore. it's getting exhausting. not to mention, that all the scaring will eventually go way beyond anything even nearly attractive. ugh.

another night out
music: simpons mood: ok
last night i headed over to albion with adina for a bit. since i am no longer drinking, i had a nice sober night, which always leads to an early departure. however, i managed to get some silly picures... mostly of luna and tarilyn, but hey, it's a nice change from my lazy ass not taking my cam anywhere. lol.
