(Well here's a love song but I don't care
No I don't care 'bout it
Cause I don't fall for it yeah
No I don't fall for it
)

Seriously, they need to stop killing my tv. The Unusuals was canceled. This makes me quite sad. It was like one big party of all my friends from other tv shows. And Amber Tamblyn's partner, Walsh, actually is a really awesome cool guy and not some creepy stalker serial killer he always is in other stuff, ie. SWAT and Dahmer and CSI. That was really nice.And, Amber as Casey Shraeger is really kind of awesome. And, Cole was really cool all in his name changing bible thumpin' ness. I also really wanted to steal Delahoy's mustache and glue it to the back of Bank's bullet proof vest. :D Just a little piece of Delahoy-Jesus. And, Beaumont, I immediately identified her as a fav character. Even Eddie Alvarez was adorably adorkable with his muffin basket.

Oh, Unusuals, I will miss you so.




And, who is their right mind put me in the college with all the pre-med students. I feel like I should explain this statement. So, I got into UCSD, and they have six undergraduate colleges. The one they put me in is Revelle, which is all science and math minded, and at admit, me and this other guy (Poly Sci major) were the only ones who weren't Pre-Med majors. Silly me and my Literatures in English major. I will probably be switching colleges come winter quarter. Me no likely this whole three quarters of calculus and five upper division science classes; of which, four have to be chem and physics.

Last week and weekend was hella fun, will be posting just about it very soon.


Also, it seems Burn Notice is part of my life now, seeing as how it has crept into my writing...

“See, Reginald. This was our problem. You never supported me in my work, and I’ve always, always supported you.”

Shocked, he responded forcefully. “I’m a cop. You’re killing people, Retta.”

Really. How Fiona of her.

*grins*

Kelle.

I am super excited that summer is a mere three weeks away. And, despite being pretty much in need of a summer job. Other things are happening.

1. I am going to become an official supervisor at work. More money. This is always good.

2. I am going to Mexico on my birthday. Need I say more.

3. I am also going to New York and Canada because, well, because awesome friends are awesome, and we are going to be awesome together.

The Mexico trip is to San Miguel De Allende which is in the middle of Mexico proper, not Baja. And, I fly there on the 8th of June and return the 15th.

New York and Canada trip is in July. I am going to fly to New York the 3rd of July and I fly back from Toronto on the 14th. Oh, and apparently, *pokes [info]smaur* Toronto is one of my mom's favorite cities in the world. How's that for an endorcement.

*is so excited*

I also have Transfer Admit Day coming up this Saturday, and all my transcripts need to be sent to UCSD. Fun times.

Laterz,
Kelly.

Cool little thing I found out.

rune
O.E. run, rune "secret, mystery, dark mysterious statement," also "a runic letter," from P.Gmc. *runo (cf. O.N. run "a secret, magic sign, runic character," O.H.G. runa "a secret conversation, whisper," Goth. runa), from PIE *ru-no-, source of technical terms of magic in Gmc. and Celtic. The word entered M.E. as roun and by normal evolution would have become Mod.Eng. *rown, but it died out c.1450 when the use of runes did. The modern usage is from 1685, introduced by Ger. philologists from a Scand. source (cf. Dan. rune, from O.N. run). The runic alphabet is believed to have developed by 2c. C.E. from contact with Gk. writing, the alphabet modified to be more easily cut into wood or stone. Cf. also Runnymede.

New layout by [info]palebird  & beauteous banner by [info]nextjuly . Still working out the kinks in the new layout though. Awesome news, I am going to be made an official supervisor at work. I got a key to my boss' office today, and she told me the other night, she has been telling everyone I'm a supervisor anyways. So hopefully, next term, she can get a new hire form put in for me as a supervisor and change my rate of pay.

I've changed my layout for the 30th millionth time. I quite like this one, and its pink yet Victorian wallpaper vibe. The title at the top is lyrics to a song by The Mountain Goats.

This is too cute for words: PANDA LOVE.

And lastly, I watched the season finale of Top Gear last night, and fghjkl, it owns my soul. I didn't stop laughing the entire hour and forty minutes. At some point, when I totally can digest all this geeky outpouring of fangirly-ness, I'll type up some squeedom and recap, and post some pictures. Poor Darcy; we love your missing head.

And, the following is so true. Especially about James and Girls. I <3 Captain Slow.

I changed my layout again. This one is by [info]maylene; a new layout and it's not from [info]thefulcrum Amazing I know. I also have another new journal, this one is for fiction and fangirling: [info]lemonysalt.

I really like this layout, but I am kind of ticked that I can't get the tiny icons to work.

So I just realized that some folders didn't get transfered off my old hard drive, and they are probably the most important folders I had: my writing folder, music folders, and my folder with all my music/fan mix stuff in it.

Bah humbug.

So. I'm not dead. My hard drive just shorted. About a month ago, technology decided that it didn't like me. 1) My flash drive with all my nano novel on it stopped working, 2) my computers hard drive shorted out. I cried. Mostly about my writing, because damnit I worked hard. I found 42k of it though floating around on the mirror of my old hard drive. But, I am still frustrated. Hopefully, I can get my data recovered off of it.

I changed my layout again, another fabulous one by [info]grrliz  @ [info]thefulcrum.

Since I just got my computer back I wanted to post a note saying I hated died... yet.

There is something about shoe shopping and buying shoes that makes me such a girl. Last Friday, I bought this awesome pair of boots and a pair of red heels (that were on sale for $18 bucks). Awesome? Yes.

So, now that the fall semester is coming to a close and NaNo is over, I have been getting together new projects and stuff. Two new stories will be making the headlines: one about vampires and detectives in 1800s London, and the other about pirates and midshipman in the Spanish Main. Neither have yet to garner anything that remotely looks like a title, but both, like every other writing project will have their own el-jays, though there is nothing on either right now.

I also have created my own graphics/music mix community: [info]ticklemetadpole, and though there is nothing there yet, I will be posting graphics and icons, music and fanmixes there for people to enjoy. I also when I get it up and running will be taking requests and commissions.

I found this article, "Gay Marriage: Our Mutual Joy", today. It made me happy.

I quite liked this line. Although there is quite a bit of quote worthy stuff in the article.
Miller: Would any contemporary heterosexual married couple—who likely woke up on their wedding day harboring some optimistic and newfangled ideas about gender equality and romantic love—turn to the Bible as a how-to script?
Food for thought, indeed. Though, I, myself, am not religious, I try to be as tolerant as possible to any one I meet no matter religion; just because it doesn't work for me, doesn't mean it doesn't work for someone else. But, I have always wondered at this dogged use of the opponents against gay marriage to use scripture as their reason behind their fervor.

I won NaNo. I don't know exactly how I did it but I wrote 50k in the month of November. My NaNo el-jay is here @ [info]zombiemice . I am still reeling a little bit from the shock of actually doing it.

Other news. Kim (Kamelia) and I write the best group papers that are not called group papers at work. What her Brit Lit II teacher won't know is just fine with us. Basically we just spouted off things about Heart of Darkness and Joseph Conrad and stuff, and if she liked something I said, she put it in her paper.

We did that for Brit Lit I a few days ago. She was writing a paper presentation on Congreve's "The Way of the World", and she needed a conclusion and so she typed up a hybrid of what I said and the last line she had written, and our professor applauded her last line, and I looked at her, and we had a laugh. My first response was jokingly: 'cause I wrote it!

Ahhh... I have my life back again.

Ta,
Kelle.
