Introduction
You've reached the journal of yet another fangirl, this one goes by Hider ;)

my first name won't be my last name

01. First of all, a belated... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ASHAWEEEEEEEE!!! (That's [info]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: Is it Monday, yet? )

05. Ugly Betty: Or the story of how Gio continues to pwn Henry. )

06. Moonlight: Who knew Jason could be fucking creepy? )

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)

01. I wish my laptop was as smart as my phone and automatically reset itself when I moved into a new time zone. Moments were I think I'm ahead of schedule and am actually way behind wouldn't happen as often, or... at least I would have one less thing to blame it on. So... scratch that, I may actually have to take responsibility for my lateness otherwise. MOVING ON.

02. When Alex baby talks to Sir Dude (our dog, which I DID NOT name *rolls eyes*), I kind of want to gag a little. Just FYI.

03. I got to hang out with my BFF JILL SIDNEY last night and it 'twas great. She blew me off the last two times I was in town (though, it wasn't really her fault so I shouldn't be so bitter) and I missed her like whoa when I was gone. I always forget how tight we are, despite how much we've both changed, until I see her in person and then it's like the clock strikes midnight and we're back to being the crazy twelve year-olds we once were.

We drove out to the ritzy town nearby and I found a prom dress! It's this one and it's exactly what I had in mind. Rather than a big poufy 'prom' dress that I would wear only once, I decided to go for a little black cocktail dress that I can rewear next year to art shows and stuff. Though I had to order it and pay for overnight so here's to hoping it gets here before I leave on Saturday and that it fits! I also got a necklace, some bangles, and a cute headwrap from Forever's 21 jewelry store, For Love 21. And the second season of How I Met Your Mother on DVD! Because it was on sale and that show is love that I can always rewatch. After we finished shopping, we stuffed our faces at Waffle House. I'm still full from all that great breakfast food. I really miss that place when I'm up north.

04. Me and dad went to the comic book store today! He randomly found it a couple of weeks ago and since he knows I like them (SURPRISE MY FATHER ACTUALLY PAID ATTENTION DURING ONE OF OUR CONVERSATIONS), he took me to it today. It was actually a really good little store and I convinced Dad to buy me The Buffy Omnibus: Volume One (which I've wanted forever) and the first issue of Serenity: Better Days.

05. I have a dilemma... So it's cryptic poll time! )

01. My flight to Tennessee? Was horrible. I left my house at one in the afternoon and didn't get home until almost midnight. I could have drove several hours faster than it took me to drive to the bus station, take two buses, get a three and a half hour delay at the Chicago airport, wait an hour on the runaway because of 'mechanical difficulties' and then drive another half hour to my dad's actual house. *is tired because of this and #2*

02. My dad bought himself a new digital camera and the whole thing has just cemented the fact that I was a horrible person in a past life. I was woken up at seven in the morning (when I went to bed at two) by him taking horrible pictures of me sprawled weirdly across my bed. They are not flattering, let me tell you.

03. I did, however, rack up on the presents. I'm too lazy to do the picture thing at the moment, maybe later. So for now, a list. )

04. I'm using the two week break to revamp all of my fan sites. I say this every year but I've already done more today than I did the last two breaks combined so I win points and credibility for that. But all of the new layouts I've created are black and white. I can't help it. So far they've all looked a thousand times better not in color. [David Anders Fan, Michael Cera Fan, Considerations (Matt & Julie), and Blurred Photographs (Rory & Jess) will be in about an hour or so.] My muse needs to come back. Like now.

05. I've already told her this once but it can't be said enough...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY [info]uptheapples!!
I heart you x infinity squared.

01. I sprained my ankle in gym today. Brief details, along with an update on the dizzy/fainting spells. )

02. Speaking of vampires, I saw 30 Days of Night. Fucking creepy ass movie is what it is (It's the first time I watched/read something with vampires where they didn't have one redeeming quality. I did like the way they were affected by sunlight though, that was a cool effect.) Melissa George? You are fucking gorgeous, just so ya know. Ending? Way to make me want to cry! Overall, I really did like it. I'm not sure I'd be able to watch it repeatedly but I wouldn't object to own it and I do want to icon it. I repeat: Melissa George is fucking gorgeous. And her and Josh were pretty together. *pets* Now I want to read the graphic novel to see what they changed. *adds to wishlist at TFAW*

03. And speaking of more vampires, Moonlight rocks my socks off. Just thought I'd put that out there. I love that it's not one of those dragging shows that takes forever to get people together. On a show where the main character is a vampire, it would be really easy to put all this fake drama in to keep the main couple apart (HELLO REAPER AND GOSSIP GIRL, I'M TALKING TO YOU) but not only does she already know he's a vampire, she's accepted it, started having issues with her boyfriend, and kissed him. *squees* I can't wait to download tonight's episode.

04. [info]aliasagent has kind of got me hooked on [info]holiday_wishes. I'm kind obsessed and my wishlist will be posted later. (Along with another post for Christmas/Fill-in-the-blank-holiday card sign-ups.) Anyone want to link me theirs?

05. I'm also kind of obsessed with Chuck/Blair, along with the rest of the fandom it seems. I swear, if [info]crazy__girl hadn't already made a kick-ass fansite, I would already have one done. *sighs* Though, if I didn't already have Penn, I would have made an Ed Westwick site instead. (That boy is a hundred ways of awesome.)

Now I'm off to go catch up on back comments. LOVE YOU GUYS. Later.

ETA: Anyone want to point me to good icons of Gossip Girl, 30 Days of Night, Reaper, Dirty Sexy Money, Moonlight, Across the Universe, etc? I desperately need new icons and I don't have any of my new fandoms. *pouts*

I SWEAR I'M NOT TRYING TO SPAM. I just wanted to let all the webmasters and wanna-be-webmasters on my flist know that Dreamhost (my amazing x infinity host) is having a huge sale just for today. $110 off any year or longer plan (which means you're getting tons for dirt cheap.

Hope this helps someone :)
