my first name won't be my last name
01. First of all, a belated... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ASHAWEEEEEEEE!!! (That's ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
thelackoflight for all of you not in the know about her real name.)
02. Second of all, let me just say... I GOT INTO Columbia!! I'll be starting there in September. *dances* I also got into their summer program but was wait listed for housing so I don' know if I'll be able to do that this June/July. I did speak to someone in charge of dorm assignments though and she sounded really optomistic that spaces would open up so I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed. It'd be a great way to spend the summer and I'd love to be able to get a head start on my credits. Since I eventually want to get my masters degree, my plan is to always take summer classes so that I can try and get my initial degree in three years, but who knows. We'll see.
03. My senior art show was yesterday and it went really well. I didn't win anything but I didn't expect to in the first place because the stuff I had to display was shitty. Plus, the judges were on crack. There were some really amazing pieces that didn't get anything and some mediocre ones that won like first and second. It was kind of ridiculous. Of course, I found my good portfolio (which I though I had lost) an hour after the show was over, which is just my luck. I might post photos later anyway, we'll see how I feel lol.
04. How I Met Your Mother
I know that I'm the 385,195 person on your flist to squee about this BUT I DON'T CARE. Barney and Robin are made of awesome and they are so hawt zomg. I can't wait until tomorrow night because I'm so excited to see how they're going to play it out.
Also? SANDCASTLES IN THE SAND? Was awesome. Not as awesome as 'Let's Go to the Mall' but pretty fucking awesome none the less. The robot! Tiffany! Horrible make-out scenes! Broken beer bottles and lots of angsty!drama! It was Legen... dary.
I want to go rewatch the make out scene now... or the scene at the bar. Both of those are kind tied, if only because comforting!Barney is adorable.
I'm trying really hard to remember what else happened in the episode.... I'm coming up with nothing. Seriously, I can't recall. Oops.
05. Ugly Betty
As much as I love pregnant!Jayma (who is adorable), I wish Charlie would just give birth so Henry can leave for Phoenix already. Sure, we'd have to have some wallow-y Betty for a while, but then maybe we'd get Gio & Betty, which would make it all worth it.
Because, say it with me now, Gio? Totally pwns Henry. I'm sorry but he does. It's not that I dislike Henry, it's just that Gio is more awesome and I think he's better for Betty because he challenges her in a way Henry never has. Plus, he just adores her and that, in itself, is adorable. By the way, Gio's hair? UPGRADE. Y/Y?
On another note, I really liked that Daniel forgot her birthday. It was classic Daniel but, as always, he made up for it in the end (which is even more classic Daniel). I loved that he remembered that he'd forget. So cute! Though I don't like that his stupid storyline with the lame sister is taking away all the Daniel/Betty scenes that made me fall in love with the show in the first place. They need to give us those back.
06. Moonlight
Although I not-so-secretly prefer Beth/Josef, I wish her and Mick would hurry up and get together, though then they'll probably turn boring like those kinds of couples always seem to. Their scenes together this week were the total cheese but actually kind of cute too. HOWEVER... Josef's scenes totally rocked the whole episode.
Was it just me or was the turning incredibly slashy? Because it really, really was. I'm not even a slash fan and I got that. Mick with his 'come on, brother' and Josef with his teary-eyed 'forgive me' before he just chomped down on Mick's neck. It totally alluded to a past full of Mick/Josef. Speaking of, a vamped out Jason Dohring is fucking creepy. I was kind of surprised. Still hot though.
On a completely random note, I totally didn't expect the cure to last six months. I figured it'd be like a week, tops. I guess that wouldn't have made as much sense though because giving up a day or two of humanity for Beth wouldn't have been as dramatic as giving up six months.
Ummk Coraline, time for you to come back now (preferably just as Mick decides to pursue a relationship with Beth).
07. Did I mention that I'm thrilled my shows are back? Because I am. Though I have yet to watch Gossip Girl. I dunno why but I just have no motivation to. I'm sure I will at some point this week though, probably when I can watch it back-to-back with this weeks.
08. As far as real life goes, it's kind of been blowing chunks lately. I won't bore you with all the details but our financial situation has hit an all time low. Every time I ever said I was broke? Is nothing compared to now. On our dining room table are disconnection notices for water, electric, cable, and internet. (So if I disappear for a while, you'll know why.) It doesn't help that I have so many fees and extra costs adding up lately, what with graduation and prom and my art show and blahdie blah blah. I just feel nauseated every time I think about it so I try not to. I like my life with a side of denial, thank you.
09. I spent all my free time this week avoiding my real life woes by working on sites. Lately working on them has felt more like a chore than anything but this week kind of reminded me of how much I love building and updating them. It made realize it was time to get rid of a lot oft them, which I am now in the process of doing. I know I do a lot of shameless pimping around here but check out Hell is Breaking if you got a few minutes to kill, I updated about all the site changes over there.
10. Though I have been keeping up on my flist, I have been slacking with the commenting lately, I know. I hope all of you are doing okay, though I know several of you are going through rough times. I've thought about emailing you to offer reassurance and tell you I'm here if you need me, but it always just seemed so lame and cliche everytime I wrote it out. I hope all of you know how much I love you guys. Each and every one of you is on my flist for a reason. I don't know what I would do without you guys. *huggles x a million*
Have a good week! (Or as good as could be expected)
