Yeah, so I discovered that my brain can be very odd and twisted. I don't know how it came up with the idea that starting a dream with a demented playstation game that eats people was a good idea, but it did that. It then proceeded to make some of the weirdest combinations I've experienced in a while.

I mean, how serious can you really make a dream that includes elements from Elfquest, Xanth, Magic Kingdom For Sale: SOLD!, Dungeons & Dragons, Angelic Layer, Cowboy Bebop, Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, and Shamanic Princess? The answer, fairly serious, which is just a bit scary.

I don't remember everything in this dream, but I know it was sort of a sequel to another dream I've had, and it had a really cool guy with wings in it. Oh, and a flying box. I think I need to get a more regular sleep pattern. Then maybe my dreams won't be quite as whacked as that....

...or not. I don't know what I want to do yet. ^_^

I figured out (again) why I don't wash all my clothes at once. I don't have enough room in my drawers if I do. Still, it's nice to have clean clothes, even if it does mean that I have to figure out how to get them all to fit in the limited space I have available for clothing. I really need to go through my clothes to make sure I actually wear everything I own. Maybe I can get rid of some of it, or send it home or something. I need to do that anyway because I don't know that I'll have as much room in the apartment that I'm moving into next fall.

So, staying up late is probably a bad thing. No, scratch that, staying up late is a bad thing, at least if you do it too often. Once in a while is okay, but it has to be in moderation. Yes, I'm learning from the fact that I've had more energy if I go to bed on time. Weird, isn't it?

I'm finding that it's rather difficult for me to stay busy sometimes. I mean, yeah, I have school and homework and a part-time job and all that, but who really wants to make that the main-main focus of their entire lives, removing everything else? Maybe I'm just messed up or something. I've been running out of things to do online, and I've been running out of things to do offline too. It's starting to scare me, looking at just how much time I must waste in every day.

Bleh....thinking too much is a bad thing. It really is. I need to find something that won't make me think. Something to distract me.

I HATE working at Subway! ::wails:: I just hate it! People are stupid, they bug me, and they take a day that was really nice for me and make it horrible!

Okay, maybe I'm over-reacting, but I'm not happy with the current situation. Things just suck. School is driving me insane, I'm having trouble getting my characters to talk, or having trouble writing, I can't figure out D&D even when it's probably blatantly obvious to anybody with half a brain, which I'm starting to doubt I have.

There are so many pretty, beautiful, and fun things that I want to get, and I can't get them. ::glooms:: I hate not having money. Living in the dorms is starting to drive me insane, but thinking about moving to an apartment, which will happen, is also driving me nuts.

I don't know how to wear make-up, and I'm twenty years old for cryin' out loud! I want to be pretty. I want to look nice. Why does this seem so impossible? Why? Am I just insane?

::bangs head against desk multiple times:: Ugh.

Meep! It was your birthday on Saturday? ::huggles:: Happy belated birthday!

I haven't been blogging nearly as much as I intended to, nor have I been making page updates as often as I intended to. Blame it on my teachers and classes and the fact that for some odd reason I suddenly decided to be responsible and go to bed on time at night so I get seven to eight hours of sleep a night. I have no clue why I've started becoming responsible, but it's starting to scare me just a tiny little bit.

Maybe it's because I'm going to be living in an apartment next year? I know I've been making long lists of things I need to do and buy for August next year, and it's what...March? I think I have problems. I mean, I have shopping lists for August for cryin' out loud!

In other news, I've decided that my American Lit teacher is just evil and I've got to be massochistic to be an English major when I hate writing literary and textual analysis. Reading stuff I don't care about at all doesn't help either.

I do have to say that I absolutely love my parents. My dad bought me a 60 gig harddrive for my birthday, which really made both me and Puck happy. No more worries (yet) about filling up the space I have.

Well, I think that's everything for now. Not that anybody ever seems to read my blog....::shrugs::

Yeah, so my birthday was last friday, but Pitas was being evil and I wasn't able to log in. Then I forgot until today because I was so busy. So...happy belated birthday to me. I'm now 20 and by the standards set by many at my school, an old maid. Not that I care, mind you. I actually find it funny.

School is evil. Well, the classes part of it. I swear, some teachers must take sadistic pleasure in assigning 10 books to read in a semester, at an average of one book every two and a half weeks. If I knew then what I knew now, I never would have taken that English class. But I didn't know that, so now it's too late and I have to stick it out. Frankly, I'm hoping for a C in the class, but anything that's not a failing grade will make me happy.

Let's see...what else is there? Pump It Up is an addictive game, and it explains why Koreans are so good at Dance Dance Revolution. It's harder than DDR. And for some strange reason, I'm better at PIU than I am at DDR, for the most part, at any rate. There are a few songs I have almost memorized.

I've found more music that I really want; namely, Blackmore's Night CDs. It's amazing how powerful one song can be in getting me hooked on something. Oh, and I need to get more Fruits Basket merchandise and Saiyuki stuffs. Sadly, I can't really do this because I'm poor. Ahh well, it won't be the first time I've gone without something. Maybe I'll use some of my birthday money to get myself some stuff. ^_^

Sleep is a good thing. I've discovered that for some strange reason, I can't exist on four to five hours of sleep a night. It really shouldn't be surprising...but for some reason it is to my roommate. She keeps wondering why I fall asleep so easily and complain about being tired all the time when I "sleep more than she does" on a regular basis.

On a more positive note, I found a place to live next year, so I won't be living in the dorms and paying an arm and a leg for the privilage! It's a fairly small apartment, but it's actually closer to campus (from what I can tell) than the dorms are, and it has more space. I'm hoping that everything works out.

Okay, sleep is a good thing. A very good thing. I just have to learn not to do it when I'm supposed to be in class. I really can't afford to keep missing my first classes, especially as the one I missed today is the one I had to beg to get in to! I just have to convince my roommate that going to bed at a decent hour (say, 11pm) is an intelligent thing to do. As it is, we stay up rather late playing games on the computer or surfing the web. X.x

Tests are still evil. I have to take my Physical Science test, and I still have that paper to write for Humanities. Thing is, I have to watch Hamlet first, or I won't be able to write the paper. At the moment, I'm quite tempted to just forget about the paper entirely, but I really can't afford to drop 50 points from my grade. I just don't want to watch the movie today. Today is an anime day, not a Shakespearian play day.

Well, look at the wonderful new pretty! ^_^ I did what I said I was going to do and created a new layout. ::is pleased:: I think it looks very nice, and I learned how to do new things!

Kyou is my favorite character in Fruits Basket at the moment, and I really love this picture, so I decided to use it for my layout. As you can see.

Yes, I'm babbling. Ah well, I guess nobody's perfect, and besides, it's late and I'm tired. I really need to learn to go to bed earlier. Even so, I don't know that I'm tired enough to actually go to bed any time soon.

School is stressful, but I think I'll manage to live, even if I do want to kill the people I work for from time to time. Such is life. I'll do better. Anyway....life is actually pretty good, all things considered.

I promise that I'll do layout stuff for the Keep tomorrow after I take my test and before I write my paper for Humanities. I just really wanted to get this new layout up, so I was focusing on the blog instead of other stuff. ^_^
