I said screw the supposed Icestorm, and went to Valpo. I'm staying at Kyle's right now and it is very enjoyable. I am visiting a lot of old friends, and it brings back a lot of old memories.
Right now? It SHOULD be off to join my lesbians for some grub and some visitation before I figure out what else is going on...

I'd rather be in Bloomington eating ramen daily than be here, in Rochester, with my family. It's because you kicked me out that I'm stuck in this backwater town. For many people, winter break is a chance to join their family, visit old friends, and take a break.
Unfortunately, my grandmothers house is NOT meant for any kind of educational experience, so it is very hard to get anything academic done (MBLGTACC layouts + Study Kanji), It is cold, and I wish I had my own pillow and blanket (Didn't have room in the vehicle for them.) I have no privacy here, and I hate children. Did I mention my aunt has 7 of them, alone?
Anyways, I want to visit people, but people are busy until at least after Christmas, and then everyone will want me to visit. I did have plans to go north to visit Kyle's family...but weather is looking like it won't allow that, nor do the people who wanted me to come seem wanting to commit to hosting me for a night, so I can sufficiently visit.
Eh...I just wanna be back with friends, and life. I waste away down in this basement.

Hell. No.
I so totally shut her down on that, when she called. First of all, shopping with her is an all day activity, even when she had mobility in her legs. She is ungrateful for what you do for her (Since she us unable to do it herself, you should be obligated to cater to her, she doesn't even say thank you.) and in my case, will even argue with me the entire time, because she can talk about dad. Needless to say, I was against the idea. I was even more against it when she tried to guilt me.
"..Well, your grandfather doesn't stick around when we go. He goes off on his own, and I really need help getting things. And it's so busy this time of year."
It'd be one thing if she was doing shopping. Her shopping is wandering around stores picking out anything that tickles her fancy. My grandpa took her to a doctors appointment at 10 AM, and didn't return until after 9PM. The doctors office is ~1 hour away.
So, I'm amused with myself. :)
There are moments, where I tend to think about the past. I don't want to change what has happened, but I have to believe that thinking about the past is healthy and natural. I give myself alot of guff for even thinking about it, and I'm not sure if I should be treating myself so harshly for it.
Because really, when I think about it, I know I'm so blessed to have met so many great and wonderful people. I've made alot of friends down at IUB. Not only that, yesterday marks the first month anniversary for Logan and I. For what I originally was expecting, he has completely blown me away in every way imaginable.
Oddly enough-sitting down and taking these few minutes to write this has really cheered me up... I'm ready to take on my day again. :)
I have just noticed specifically how right winged my family is.
This is awkward, being a gay male with views that are completely opposite from what most think:
The woman across the room form me is discussing second amendment and is glad that the supreme court threw out a case involving it, because she would like to keep the means for americans to bear arms.
Without missing a beat, she reads in the paper another story, how a young hunter nearly was shot in the head (However, it missed, blowing through the hat on his head.
Then, a phone call arrives, where my aunt is heavily relying on my grandmother for all sorts of support--calls to inform them their van has a flat tire. Apparently, nobody in their family knows how to fix one. The oddity of their family is that their are two men. My aunt and her husband, and her boyfriend who also is living there (Yeah, weird, I know.) My aunt's comment is, "Ugh, There are two men between them and NEITHER know how to fix a flat tire."
Now, I do see something wrong with that picutre, because they are uneducated and I mean--come on, she's living with her husband AND her boyfriend, but I don't think it's too weird that they don't know how to fix a flat.
Oh, how I love Thanksgiving. :) Hope you're having wonderful days!
Printers.
Currently, I am sitting in my dormatory lounge, as my laser jet printer attempts to print off a good 50 pages of reading that I need to get done for class before one. I will not make it, but that is not what is troubling. What is troubling--is the amount of time it is taking to print the PDF files.
A page slides out, the printer stops running, there is roughly a 4 second gap where the printer STOPS running--before restarting to print off another page. It's taking forever, and I'm hogging the printer, because in total..I'm probably shucking off about 100 pages of printer paper (since I've opted to print off Thursday's reading too.)
Meanwhile...There's nothing else I can complain about in life. It's all VERY good.

A:"Lip gloss please!"
B:"Lip gloss...*click*"
Cash Register: Lip Gloss is 2.25~!
B: That'll be 2.25!
A: Credit Card, please. :D
B: *Swipes*
Are we teaching girls at this age that Credit cards are a toy? I'm either appauled, or failing to understand the concept. People ruin their lives, because they habitually charge everything in their lives. It adds up, and then you don't remember you bought these things! Come on, Matel...You're supposed to be teaching girls good moral values, since you can't do it through your doll with unattainable standards of beauty.
Part of this however--is due to that on Thursday there is nothing due for the most part, and two of three classes require no work before showing up on this particular day. I'm excited.
In other news, life is very good--however, I'm going to hold off on talking about it until at least the weekend... ^_^
- Mood:accomplished
OH MY GOD YOU CLICKED! I BET YOU'D LIKE TO SEE THAT. :O!
So the weekend is over...
And I still have alot of homework
But it was all totally worth it.
More will come when the time is right, but right now? My Kanji quiz takes priority.
- Mood: studious
I realize I feel that I feel like this every time I have a paper to write. They are rather painless in the long run, but my world stops for a paper. I do not study for anything else, because the paper is the most important thing until it is finished and over with. Hopefully, I actually get some of it written before 5 PM this evening. Wish me luck!
- Mood: optimistic
For the past day or so, I have been placed into the corner of my grandmothers house, nestled into the corner of a room, as it is the only place where I recieve a halfway decent internet connection. I am here because it is my grandparents golden anniversary.
That's 50 years.
All of this really makes me contemplate the past, the things I miss and the things that I do not. I want to aspire towards those 50 years, but I want to continue to have happiness during that time as well, if I am not content or happy, there is no point to it.
I saw a couple at the Thursday OUT meeting, they're two guys who basically run the thing, and I was so amused that they've actually been together for a year, and the photos I've seen of them make me believe they have an amazing relationship. It's things like photographs that make me able to look back and say, "I must have really enjoyed those times." I believe that is why I feel like my time at Ball State was so great, I looked happy, and there is proof of that existence.
Perhaps this means I just need to invest into a camera, for me to have proof of my happiness? It does seem like the easiest solution.
Anyways, my intent for going to the OUT meeting on Thursday was to hopefully meet some people and make some friends. I met 4 people while I was there, at least that I spoke with afterwards. Alex, a girl from South Bend, she seems so bad ass. Graham, a guy inthe furry community, he's got such interesting views of love and life. Kadie, a girl who I believe lives near me, we've talked alot so far, but I don't know too much about her personally. And the 4th is Logan, who is Kadie's best friend. I still can't say I could sum him up in a sentence either. Regardless, I'm trying to get to know all of them a bit better.

Meanwhile, in the real world--as any post would not be complete without such an update, I am well...surviving. 70% in Finite is not a good thing, but I attribute alot to his poor test making skills (difficult test+ having many errata to add directly onto the test.) I spent more time making sure I had the right question, than checking my answers over.
Happy EARLY Birthday to both Kyle and Betsy, I do plan on at the very least telling you myself, but I get a chance for you guys to see it here. God, birthday's make me feel like I'm old...And then I remember that I have friends that I would consider would be cradle robbing.
Where are you people? Talk to me!

Hi there, LJ.
Last night, Mike W., a guy from Ball state came to visit me, becuase he wanted to borrow 5 dollars, since he left his wallet at home when he last went.. I was planning on getting some reading done, but I just got tired after the brief visit. Anyways, in repayment--we're going to catch up and I'll meet a friend of his at Chili's. Exciting stuff, really!
Also, Drake has apparently told his friends about me. They are excited, and want to meet me. I was actually kind of touched still, despite everything that's gone on with that. I really want to meet them, and I hope it happens soon. There'll be people to play board games and video games, and talk dork with. It'll be cool beans. And even if they arn't all dorks... It'll still be good!
Anyways..I need to study for my upcoming exams this week!
- Mood:
anxious
It's days like this where I wish I could have just stayed in bed... regardless that I know it's much better for me to attend class.
Premade LJ layout, Toxic Rain. I think it's amazing, and speaks to me, so much.
So, a little bit of catching up is needed.
I'm K, and I'm a journalism major. I'd really like that to be Journalism + East Asian Culture and Language concentration paired with a minor in english. I think that would be swell, actually. Over the summer, I worked in a coffe house, which was a very good experience. Granted, I won't be returning, since I won't be living in Valpo any longer. Sad times, really.
That being said, I am newly single and I guess, just like anyone else, my eyes are elsewhere. I guess, I'll just have to see how that works out before I can make any judgements, but being single so far has been a good experience for me:
I've exercised alot more, I've gone out and had great times with great people, I've done things that might be labeled a bit 'crazy'..but I'd rather live that way than to never have lived at all.
Let's talk more later, LJ.
