not cool.
i wish this semester were over right the fuck now so i could graduate and move. the time has come for me to begin a new phase of adulthood in life, and school is really getting in the way. i'm over BG like whoa. four more months till i can shoot the deuces for good.
till then, i just gotta be patient and work my ASS OFF. ugh, fuck.
(ps- i'll probably just be updating my myspace blog from here on out. http://www.myspace.com/grrleigh. and, of course, my knitting blog. ♥.)

so the other day i was really freaking out because i got my gas bill in the mail and promptly lost it before i even got a chance to open it. so i had no idea how much it was (i was fearing the worst...hello ancient gas heater and drafty lil apt!) or when it was due even. and since i'll be gone to cinci for an internship for two weeks in january, i wanted to pay extra to cover my ass for next month just in case. and i am currently broke as a goddamn joke.
so i call up the gas company and apparently, since i've been such a good customer and paid all my bills on time now for over a year, they credited my initial deposit (apparently like $100 that i'd forgotten about completely) towards my balance and not only did it pay this month's bill but it still has like $56 credited on it. so no gas bill for me to worry about!
that, and watching king kong crush the head of a t.rex and a man consumed alive by flesh-eating worms were the highlights of my day today.
ps- yeah i know i never update any more. i'm a lot busier and a lot happier than i used to be. it's pretty sweet.

i am thankful for:
mashed potatoes. des enfants terribles. that 3/4 of my grandparents are still alive and for the most part, kickin. that this godawful semester is almost over. chronic (damn my detox this weekend!). good hair days. warm socks. lando. sleeping in. my independence. caller id. miller high life light. merino wool. madonna. being 21. that my bumper didn't fall off on the way up. my new credit card. packages in the mail. kicking ass on my last jensen project. aveeno. maker's mark marinated turkey. not having to buy my own booze. that people are finally realizing what an assclown our president is. not fighting with parents, at least for today. cable tv. being single. free laundry. cable-knit sweaters. that my hot lava cardigan turned out as fabulous as it did. going shopping. all-male revues (the deuce! dec 10!). that i actually got to do some stuff that my parents won't let my sister do. that i graduate in may.
not too shabby, if i do say so myself.

computer still broken. not broken really, but acting up. mark says it may be a short in the wiring of the display, and i hope upon hopes that this is the case. i have to take it into the mac place here in town next week since i'll be in mississippi this weekend visiting Faulkner's home and whatnot. i'm pretty excited about the trip, it should be fun and will hopefully yield some good composition pics for photo-j, but i'm not excited about leaving at 6am tomorrow morning. bleh. i am not excited about jensen's cd case project being due on monday. fucker. he would make it due on halloween too. i have a bad feeling that i'm not going to get to do any parties or anything this weekend because of fucking school work. UGH. story of my life this semester.
but the good news is, i got all my classes for next semester! and you know what that means.... I GRADUATE IN MAY! believe it or not. i'm actually getting out of this school in a miraculous four years and then i'm shootin the deuces and on my way to grad school or japan, or hopefully both. here's my schedule for my last semester EVER at western:
MW 11:30-2:10 Package Design
MWF 12:40-1:35 Advanced Copy & Layout
MW 3:00-5:40 Graphic Design Portfolio
TR 11:10-1:50 Visual Thinking
R 5:00-7:45 Creative Nonfiction
WEB- Women's Fiction
yes, yes, y'all. i'm gettin the hell outta dodge. there is an overlap with package design and copy and layout, but that's kelley's class, so of course she'll meet with me whenever. because she loves me. and it's nice to be loved, especially by those who will be writing your letters of reccommendation for graduate school.
i just want to go back to bed. but alas, i cannot.

so yesterday I started drinking at 4. a double deuce of high life on the loop, followed by a sparks, another high life, a blue moon, and a steel sapporo. plus two snakebite shots, courtesy of crystal. we kicked it in their lesbian neighbors' yard by a cozy fire for like five hours. it was awesome.
and this is how it all began...

i should have fucking known. why am i such an idiot sometimes? seriously, i don't know what the fuck is wrong with me.
actually, nothing is wrong with me. not a goddamn thing.
THEY are always the ones with the issues they have to work out.
THEY are always the ones who never have the guts to tell you shit you might want to know, like say, oh, when they're interested in someone else maybe? yeah, that'd be a good one to find out in advance.
THEY are always the ones who are afraid.
i am not afraid.
and that's why i get hurt.
but trust me, i won't hurt for long.

i will be 21 on friday y'all.
it's about goddamn time. seriously, it's getting ridiculous at this point.
i'm tired of not being able to go out to bars and clubs with all my friends and having to worry about whether or not my international id will work. i'm tired of not being able to buy my own booze wherever and whenever i want. i'm tired of sitting around buzzed and bored on a saturday night at 11:45pm. my time has come. it's time for me to make my debut in the world of being fabulous and not giving a fuck about what anyone else thinks of me, male or female. it is time for me to eat, drink, and be fucking merry because i've fucking earned it after all this time being so nice and patient.
i'm not going to worry about douchebag boys, about stupid bitches, about how i look or sound or act, and i'm not going to worry about what's going to happen tomorrow. i've decided i'm not going to worry at all any more because all worrying does is make you OLD. it gives you wrinkles. fuck that. the only wrinkles i'm going to have are laugh lines and i'm going to be fucking proud of them.
kan-fucking-pai, goddammit!

so i was all rushed about to get ready for my 1:50pm Hemingway/Faulkner class that i only had time to shower and not do hair or makeup, which on a long day like today is the only thing that keeps me sane, knowing i at least look put together, even if nothing else is. i was hauling ass up the hill to get to class on time because i didn't want to miss our quiz and whatnot, and i get there right before class is supposed to start, but what's this? who are all these people who are not in my class? why is ted hovet here and not walker rutledge? i look at my watch.
it's 12:50. i'm an hour early. and for no reason.
muh liiiiiiiiiiiife.
but i did get an A on my Hemingway paper, entitled "The Existential Hero in Hemingway's 'The Sea Change'," and written about an hour and a half before class last Friday. score. my first actual grade of the semester is a good one. this makes me happy, and gives me at least a little hope for the rest of this semester, which is shaping up to be long and arduous, which is not a pleasant thought.
it's only monday and i want this week to be over. i want this semester to be over, really. i currently have no motivation whatsoever. i've got senioritis, and bad. whoops.

yes, kids, it's a lovely day out. i still have a shitload of homework left to do (although i have gotten most of my immediate stuff done--yessss!). but it's all good at the moment. these are the last pictures from my trip to japan this summer. i didn't actually take any of these. these are highlights from other people's pictures from the trip, although there are still people who haven't sent theirs out yet, so maybe this is not the last we'll see of the best five weeks of my life. at least i hope it's not.
( i ♥ japan. )
and that's it, pigeons. maybe i should do my homework. at least it's only easy creative stuff left to do. score.
