NEW JOURNAL

USERNAME: CHEMICALPIPIT, just like my XboxLive name.


FRIEND IT.

NOUVELLECHIMIE is going away or something.

or just not being used anymore.

thank you!

I am thinking of making a new LJ name, or maybe back to Xanga, or maybe Blogger.

Blogger sounds fun and educational---

please let me know if anyone would read a Blogger blog? I think they have RSS feeds. I want people to read it................... LJ just seems kinda old.............

but that is where the largest community is.

At the very least, this elljay is going to be closed within a week or so.

I will letchoo know when I choose/make a new name.

it might be tomorrow.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW ABOUT BLOGGER vs LIVEJOURNAL, K???

I have just located my parents old Mustek digital video recorder, and it is an OK webcam....

but I might be on the market (is that even the correct phrase? lol 2am english) for a new one.

Is anyone selling theirs//knows of a good one? it can be cheap, just as long as its better than the mustek.

Alternately, maybe the parents will let me [GASP! they let me do things??] take this here old vid camera back up to AlienVendor's apartment.... I plan on purchasing a MacBook Pro later in life that has a built in camera -- so would blowing $20 on a basic webbie be a waste?

[I don't know when the ThinkBucket will die--- or be given to my parents....]

PS!

This journal may be too emo, and I may start a new one. NOT SURE!

(12:32:15 AM) DPKLOL: I figure graduation from college will be the same as high school
(12:32:30 AM) DPKLOL: I'll keep in touch with the people I care about, and the rest will just kinda... drift away.
12:32:58 AM) Pipip: yes but in high school i didn't have a tight group of friends to be sad about saying g'bye to
(12:36:08 AM) Pipip: the others did

I guess this is how that must have felt to them... knowing you have a year left together.

/melancholy

we still have another year, but I am skeart.

To become more autonomous, be more independent, and try to practice the Seven Holy Virtues:

* Chastity (Latin, Castitas) (purity, opposes Lust, Latin Luxuria):
Embracing of moral wholesomeness and achieving purity of body and thought through education and betterment.

* Temperance (Latin, Temperantia) (self-control, opposes Gluttony, Latin Gula):
Practicing self-control, abstention, and moderation.

* Charity (Latin, Liberalitas) (will, generosity, opposes Greed, Latin Avaritia):
Generosity. Willingness to give. A nobility of thought or actions.

* Diligence (Latin, Industria) (ethics, opposes Sloth, Latin Acedia):
A zealous and careful nature in one's actions and work. Decisive work ethic. Budgeting one's time; monitoring one's own activities to guard against laziness.

* Kindness (Latin, Patientia) (peace, opposes Wrath, Latin Ira):
Forbearance and endurance through moderation. Resolving conflicts peacefully, as opposed to resorting to violence. The ability to forgive; to show mercy to sinners.

* Patience (Latin, Humanitas) (satisfaction, opposes Envy, Latin Invidia):
Charity, compassion, friendship, and sympathy without prejudice and for its own sake.

* Humility (Latin, Humilitas) (modesty, opposes Pride, Latin Superbia):
Modest behavior, selflessness, and the giving of respect. Giving credit where credit is due; not unfairly glorifying one's own self.

...is the speed of my brain.

So some current thoughts in no particular order:

OMG TEST ON TUESDAY AND I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO.
but I'm going to find out tomorrow.

OMG I should have tray tables in my dorm room next year, since Corey and I are going to do the whole "this is my side of the room" thing. I also want a drying rack for the kitchen.

um, now i'm tired.

okay. thanks for listening

Huh. I haven't posted much this semester... and when I have, with the exception of the flood post, that I am rather complainy.

I've grown a whole helluva lot since the beginning of the semester. I am much more self-aware about my thoughts and feelings, and even *gasp* can control them more than just a fleeting harness on my unbridled emotions.

But yeah. Lately I've been extremely stressed-- I have a lot to do and a lot that's due... and a big scoop of drama on top of that that's extremely distracting.

Hugs are always appreciated!!

Subject: Toilet running a lot


Hi guys,

It's really late, but I think the pressure just came back on in Warren,
becuase my toilet is running continuously. I'm in Warren ***, and my
name is ********* ********* with RIN ***-***-***.

Thanks so much,
~*me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

12:00am: Say goodnight to Marissa. Go talk to Danny and Michael for an hour, or so.
1:30am: Say goodnight to Michael and Danny. Go into room, undress to take shower.
1:35am: Wonder why Marissa is taking a shower, then realize our toilet is swirling à la paddon's was a while back. Call RA on duty; not one in our residence hall but in one next hall over. He says to email FIXX, the facilities maintenance people, since no1 will answer a call at 1:40am.
1:40am: Email FIXX from Little Steven's computer in the lounge. See above email
2:00am: Go to bed, pray that the water will stop. Drift into sleep.
6:00am: Wake up to find TWO INCHES OF WATER ON THE FLOOR because the toilet is exploding water outwards!!! Marissa wakes up and calls Public Safety's emergency number, who tells her its not an emergency. We then spend the next two and a half hours (yeah cuz its 8:30 now) watching them scoop the water out with their giant wetVacs and super-sucker-uppers. Our floor is now full of chemicals to prevent mold from growing and stuff.

Thankfully, I don't have the biochem test today--I got a makeup--cuz I was REALLY sick yesterday and didn't think I'd make it this morning.

I guess I could've, but I wouldn't have studied. I should stop telling myself it was a possibility. If things happen for a reason, this was very serendipitous. Sure, why not. >.>

I'm in a better mood. There are a few reasons for this, but I'm really tired so you'll have to be happy with a meme.

I certainly am!

1. Go to Career Cruising, www.careercruising.com
2. Put in Username: nycareers and Password: landmark.
3. Take their "Career Matchmaker" questions.
4. Post the top results

( !!! )

In case you were wondering, I am quite overloaded this year. It hits me now, what with a Molecular Biochem quiz next week and some other stuff.

If I randomly start crying or yelling when you are around, I assure you its not you.

Hopefully this won't happen after next week when I can gently tell certain people I have to be excused.

This is my mid-college crisis: I have to pull my GPA up NOW.

**In other news, Johnson & Johnson sounds like an awesome company to work for**

That's all.

I'm mostly all moved in....the funny thing is, we had our beds bunked last year and they took 'em down this year. So now our beds and stuff are separated... well sort of, my desk is on M's side, and her dresser is on my side.

Fanfare 2011 was today. We're playing Vivaldi, Elgar, and Barber's "Adagio"

I should post moar, but we're playing D&D and I'm just about to be introduced. :D!

One test is over
Many friends entries to read
But I must study.

A diagram of
Monocotyledon stem
Is difficult work.

Thank youuuuu for all your comments!!
*passes out*

Blargh~ one test and one practical to go.
2 days, thats all.
Teacher has proven to be a bullying arse.

Also, I'm single; offically 100%. Nobody's there. I don't really care.

people should poast moar.

In other news, we went to the Village Fair in the town a few miles above mine. It was cool; I bought some lavender body butter from a lady who owns a farm in Maine; she said I should investigate a minor or other degree in Business, and go start my own natural cosmetics company.

I kept thinking "ewww business" (was never much of a capitalist...) but.......that would revolutionize the consumer cosmetics industry. Vegetable oil instead of petroleum? Would you use it?? hmmm

I....must...get through....Bio 104...

6 lectures, 4 labs, 2 tests, 1 practical.

Doable; so close yet so far away.

I read it....lets see... from 2:00-5:00am this morning, then I slept from 5:00-11:00am, then read till 5:00pm.

My eyes hurt...my mum is upset with me for being on the internet and making my eyes hurt, oh well.

I feel like a different person now. It's strange, wonderful, and sad...I got the first 3 books for Christmas when I was 11. Maybe I was 12? Not sure. Probably 12.

I want to talk to everybody, I want to discuss it, but at the same time I'm exhausted and lonely.
We'll see.

There's so much to talk about, and I've been so busy these past weeks.

First of all, I'd like to point everyone to my journal homepage, because I have changed my title and by-line to reflect this workshop I attended at Connecticon.

Oh! speaking of Connecticon, it was lovely. Remind me to make a post about it later.

But yes, this class, was on Alchemy. We went over transmutation circles, and how they were similar to these pretty floral mosaics that DaVinci used to draw, and how a lot of Japanese family crests are circular like Alchemy symbols. How you can trace infinite numbers of intersecting polygons in a circle and if you do it correctly, you can envision infinite other polygons made from these. That everyone is connected, that the butterfly effect really does exist - that Alchemy is making something from something else, even Opportunity. To have an Opportunity is to be given the chance to make something - and no matter what you do, you will have an effect on the rest of the world.

You can make lead into gold, and you can make anger into art, and you can make tragedy into exciting new friends.

Which I think is really cool.

Course: Bio 104
Lecture style: powerpoints, low on text, high on verbal commentary
Age: Mid 40s
Comments: Slow to make points, chuckles to himself. Thorough, but with lots of extra commentary that students may have to sort through in order to discover key points.

compare to:

Course: Bio 103
Lecture style: powerpoints that are outlines of course material, with additional diagrams on the blackboard.
Age: Late 60s, possibly older
Comments: Dry speech but interesting materia. Extremely straightforward.

~~~~

Laboratory requirements/format/feeling remains to be seen at 12:00.

Later in the course: Dissections! Yuckity yuck yuck.

We're back from a weekend in Cape Cod... it was kind of stressful, actually... there are next to no public beaches.... but the little towns are really cute.

*yawn*

I think that's kind of it for now, except that bio part 2 begins tomorrow. The prof is supposed to speak realllllllllllly slooooooooooooooooowly. >.>

So much anghst! including that from me this morning. I guess it's petty...all I have to bitch about is not having a full breakfast, but some Instant Breakfast and bran flakes. Yum, maybe?

I took my test today...
This weekend is a bridal shower for a relative
Next weekend is Maine with my parents...
Next month is CTCon...

so why am I fit to burst?? gahH!H!HH!!HH!H!H!
