Walking in a Winter Wonderland

So, like, yeah. How can it only be two days since I've updated but it feels like forever?

Yesterday morning I had a PS211 (Peace and Conflict) exam. I think I did pretty damn good. We shall find out tomorrow.

My original plan was to go to SE Portland and get some errands run after that, but I then I remembered that I was going into SE today anyway, and didn't. Instead I went to Target and bought the extended edition of The Two Towers and rode the bus back to school and annoyed Rick until he got out of ceramics class. Then we went to his house and watched it. Yeay!! Hobbits! Lots more hobbits! Unlike last time, I can actually see why some of the new stuff was cut out. I didn't really need to see Eowyn singing at Theodred's funeral. Some of it is also just dry plot stuff. It does make the movie make more sense in places, just like last time, but more of it is dry. After the movie was over we watched a bit of extra stuff and talked with Rick, and then we went home and stayed at Nana's for the night. I think I heard the mouse some more.

This morning I was debating wearing long underwear under my pants, but when I asked Nana said it was fifty degrees so I decided not to. That was a mistake. Rick dropped me off at the max and I went all the way to Beaverton Transit Center, got off, and walked to my bus stop before realizing that I didn't have my wallet. No bus pass, no money, no debit card. Yikes! I stood there freezing in the rain for a full ten minutes trying to think of where I'd left it. I realized it was in Rick's car in the Target bag that I'd had TTT in. Oopsy. I called his house and got his work number, then called his work. "Rick's in training and I can't interrupt it. Do you want me to tell him to call you?" Um, YES. I got back on the train and was one stop away when he called. I went to his work, grabbed the keys, ran to his car and got my wallet, ran back to give the keys back, and then ran to the max stop. Meanwhile, it's started snowing. Huge clumps of white stuff. I get back to Beaverton Transit center just in time to catch the 78 to Sylvania, where I promptly fall asleep. I wake up as we get to Sylvania campus, and lo and behold, there's like two inches on the ground. Sylvania's higher in altitude than Beaverton, I suppose. In any case, it still has not stopped snowing, and it's a real pain in the ass to pull around a wheely backpack in two inches of snow. I don't know how I'm going to get to these places to get raffle items *now*. ARGH.

Fangirly post

The hobbits are on TRL on MTV at five pm in my time zone (if you're central, bwah ha ha, you're too late!). I'm actually sitting here waiting for it to be five o'clock so I can watch MTV. I feel so....high school.

Also, NO ONE has the new Premiere magazine, and I've been checking every day. I'm getting really sick of Renee Zerwelliger's face, and I normally like her.

I'm at my parent's house for a while. I'm on my parent's insurance again, which is just fine with me. It's only until I'm 25, but I get a chance (again) to get my cavities filled and my wisdom teeth yanked and get contacts and counseling. I'm a happy camper. Plus, it's obvious my parents love me, as they're paying the premium to get me covered, and it's about sixty dollars. Ain't they sweeties?? *does the happy dance*

On the other hand, I called in sick to my co-op ed. My back hurts and I'm really tired and I don't want to come down with the cold that's going around.

(no subject)

I haven't been able to access my drakmail account in, like, weeks. I'm sick of it. I've gone back to my care2 account. I literally deleted five hundred emails. A bunch of them I didn't even read. A bunch I did read and then moved into my old folder of Tony crap and don't know what to do with. I had previously abandoned the account entirely, assuming it would be erased. But lo and behold, it sent me a happy birthday message to TONY'S email. Just lovely.

I abandoned that account originally because the quantities of spam had become so overwhelming. That, and I have a folder of almost four hundred messages from/relating to Tony. What the fuck do I do with those? I can't really erase them. I'd love to put them on a disk so I can delete them and then just never look at the disk again. But I can't figure out how, as it's a web based email address.

So for now, send all fanmail to april-starchild at moose-mail.com. Obviously, replace the word at with the symbol @.

In other news: TRL was fun but too short. undone27 has lots of screencaps. Poor frightened billeh. Tons of fun. Dom shoulda talked more. What is it with him and sticking out his tongue? It gets me all, like, distracted and stuff.

Rick's on his way to pick me up, so he finally gets to meet my dad. Yeay?
