per_soloYes, I still exist.
Burnout, partial LJ burnout, partial "getting my head together", and many other things.
Hit a chuckhole over a week ago, and had to replace the rims/wheels on my car. Wow, that's a fun expense this time of year.
Midterms are driving me insane. 400 level class, non-profits, where it was ALL short/long answer. Unfortunately, reading the texts isn't helping me (yay for a kinsthetic/audio learner), but I'm working with my teacher, and an adviser, to see what can be done.
Need to get more involved on campus, per my adviser. So, am trying to find things that interest me to do there. Was amazed going through the bookstore to see the comic book "Watchmen" on sale..apparently, there's a comic book class (no, not gonna take it). Still no word on fencing. Tried to take it THIS semester, but it wasn't offered anymore. Adviser is trying to help me. Tis good, the adviser really does understand me fairly well (though, she's one of my teachers, is three months older than me, and refers to me as "kiddo"), but she's trying to help me, which everyone says is what a good adviser is supposed to do. Yes, the plan is a degree path for this. Yup, it's likely to drive me even more insane, but oh well.
So, what else? Neil Gaiman put out a call for people to purchase from neilgamian.net, the arm of Dreamhaven books, and I picked up a few CDs. One of which came signed, even though I hadn't asked for it to be. "Where's Neil when you need him". And, Vendetta (a funny cop parody, involving Santa Claus), finally arrived on DVD. The website, http://www.vendettachristmas.com/, basically allows you to send a self-addressed envelope/mailer, and they'll send you the DVD. If you look at the site and are partially interested? I recommend. When it first came out, years ago, it was a lot of fun. Good mindless diversion. :-)
Oh, Desidera, I have 2 Hellboy books to loan to you. :-) The first two, and yes, the movie was much better than I imagined.
And, final note, thanks to Mobobocita, am now hooked on the game "Kingdom of loathing". http://www.kingdomofloathing.com
So, that's about it for me right now. Hope things are improving/better for everyone else. It'll be nice if 2007 isn't the "Oh my fucking god" transition year that 2006 seemed to have been. But then, most of life is in transition, so I'm not exactly a good judge on that right now. :-P
