read it, and i bet when ur done u wish u hadnt wasted all that time...
yesterday i ran some errands and took the required freshman technology test and aced it...i mean yeah its an easy test required by all freshmen but some kids took it repeatedly and they give u 25 minutes per section and i took less than 10 for 2 of the sections, i was flying and the old man who ran the lab was impressed, and its no big deal but A) it feels good to have that nagging test off my plate (even though theres very little on my plate) and B) it feels good to thoroughly ace a test again...

i returned my military science cammo and they did in fact let me keep the brown t shirt and the knee high black wooly socks...woo hooo..i mean the socks might be nice on a chilly night or look good with a my short black skirt...but the brown t shirt is so comfy and looks great with anything....i returned my stuff and snuck out to avoid the awards ceremony and pizza party...i got out about 3 and i couldn't shake the feeling that it was after midnight cuz i had been up for an awkward amount of hours..but it was too light out for midnight...that feeling stuck with me all night, i was sitting watching tv and talking online and i was convinced it was like 3am but marc told me it was 6pm...

walking back from military science, i got in a stride that was a bit presumptuous, a little faster than i realized that i would be able to maintain all the way back to my dorm...i wanted to slow down but there was a girl right on my heels for what felt like the whole time, and if i slowed she would surely run me down from behind or break an ankle trying to stop short...so i dove to my right off the sidewalk and onto the grass, rolled and grabbed my ankle and grimaced in pain...i assumed this was the smoothest move i could take...she stopped and looked at me sideways "like ur dog looks at ur answering machine when he hears ur voice"...i just smiled and waved at her and she continued on her way...


we get 6 inches of snow and VA goes mad...they cancelled everything and rescheduled it for Saturday, this is gonna really fuck me up, i have enough problem with what day it is until they start changing the week to Mon, Tues, Wed, Sat, Fri, Thurs, Sun, Mon, etc...they are really not prepared for snow down here, no trucks with salt or sand, no plows, nothing....it snowed around 2am and by 10 nothing had been cleared..thats pathetic...i saw a small back-ho or something from the construction site trying to clear a sidewalk and it was really just making a mess..it hit a lamp post and thats about it

snow days used to be fun before..they used to be a great relaxing day off and some fun in the snow..but its not much of a welcome day off when i do nothing every day..its just another day..but now my final is moved back to saturday and that means there are still 2 days left this semester that i have to wake up before 4pm..i have a cold so i limited my time outside in the snow, cuz i want to get better before my exams and definitely before florida...the internet was giving me shit all day, i dont now if there are a lot of kids on campus online due to no school but its acting worse than ever...and to top it all off and make me wanna scream into a pillow until i go hoarse...my water bottle pyramid collapsed. it was dropping bottles all day, and not just the top one that falls alot but some from the lower side walls...i kept repairing it all day and then i noticed it leaning so i pushed it slightly to the side and sat down at the computer and 5 minutes later the entire structure imploded and fell toppling piece by piece..so their are 120 aquafina and poland spring bottles covering my floor and im too pissed off to rebuild it and too heartbroken to throw them in recycling, so they are staying there until christmas break...it just was a stir crazy day and the fucking internet explorer is the dumbest program, and those pictures took longer than they should have and livejournal was being dumb and my mouse was messed up so i ripped my mouse pad into shreds in a mini rage and then cleaned the mouse....

And I took 4 dexodrine and I was talking mad smack to ppl online...I went at marty like crazy...to the point of being mean, disgusting, serial killerish, david o-like (ahahha sorry dave, not say dave is mean at all, i only meant to illustrate his bloodlust and penchant for disturbing imagery), and then went into a huge thing about the fragility of the once powerful newspaper industry:

and i was thinking...newspapers are a multimillion dollar industry....they employ reporters, printers, editors, writers, critics, photographers...all that printing equipment and computers cant be cheap either...and newspapers cost a quarter...or 35 cents...or 50 on weekends with all the color inserts and mcdonalds monopoly game pieces...so the whole industry is dependent on the mass majority of the population buying papers...if one guy buys papers then they go bankrupt...maybe a paper costs 5 cents to print and they sell it for 25 but thats only 20 cents of profit per product...and maybe its more like 15 cents to produce and 25 to sell...so thats like 10 cents profit...and yes ppl who buy papers often get them every day or at least every business day...and alot of ppl get home delivery...but at 10 cents a pop thats still not much even over a year...and im thinking most employees need to make at least 25,000-30,000 min a year to support a family and theres a lot of employees...so thats a lot of papers to sell in a year...they are dependent on this large market...and then the paper boys and delivery people and newsstands are middle men so they steal some profit...so this is a fragile business that could fold easily if half the public lost interest...and with all the technology u'd think it would fold....and i remember the days of garrison hearst and those rich paper tycoon millionaires....joe Pulitzer...but the world without papers...can u imagine it...i rarely read them....but i cant imagine the world without them...its a part of life...taken for granted...and i was thinking...what about those ppl who tell the uninformed, the out of the loop, in disgust "go pick up a paper"....like i say, "what, i didn't know the US was at war"...and the guy says "y dont u pick up a paper some time u might learn something"...is that guy on the payroll....can they afford to pay him?...but can they afford not to?....they need all the support they can get....or is he just a paper enthusiast...and he realizes the life of the paper is waning. and he takes it upon himself to try to drum up support wherever possible?

Anyone can take money from u...I got a knock on the door from some redhead and she asked for a dollar on behalf of the RA's for the cleaning staff...so I gave her money for me and matt but and I don't mind but she should have credentials..i mean anyone could say anything and get money...

I spent all day convincing myself it was Saturday and so I almost forgot it was Thursday and Friends was on....but it was kinda ruined between people at my door, people on my computer and the overwhelmed, angry, helpless, unable to move feeling I had from the dexodrine... But Scrubs is the funniest show ever....The cable company was running school closings on the bottom of the screen and they even did company closings like a Tyson Foods night shift delay... that's crazy.

They made a new Land Before Time called the Journey to Big Water where Littlefoot and the gang help a new friend Moe, some sort of dophin-dinosaur, get back to the ocean after he's marooned in the Great valley during a flood...how many have they made? At least 10 by now, I think I remember seeing 8 in stores like a year ago

One of The Lord Of the Rings Two Towers trailers features one of the themes from Requiem for a Dream by Clint Mansell with the Kronos Quartet. This angers me...because Aronofsky had this score composed originally for Requiem and now its being reused, slightly changed but still it just doesn't seem right.

and i was telling ryan about all my free time and he told me about his busy schedule and asked if i'd like to do a paper for him...on consumerism in Requiem for a Dream...i jumped at the idea because i love that movie, i love writing, and most of all i love writing about movies that i love...i really havent had to write much this semester and i need to flex my under-used and forgotten brain...i brought Requiem home for thanksgiving and left it there thinking i could go 2 weeks without it, why bring it back just to pack it for christmas break again..why would i possibly need it when i just bought 3 new movies over the break, i have tons still at school and i should be studying for finals..what could possibly arrise that i would need it?...hahahha...i mean i know the film by heart but to do a real bang up job i'd have liked to watched the movie and take a few notes, get some quotes checked from memory...but alas..

i only left my dorm once today for 15 minutes, and still managed this mammoth post...
