Holy Shit...a real, live update.

per_soloHey, how you doing. It's been a while since I posted anything other than quick, almost tweetable thoughts, and movies and quick quotes.
Yes, I realize that. Yes, time has been at a premium of late. With school, convention prep, trying to find any way to get out to San Diego, my time has been precious.
Yup, I'm home a lot, working on school, keeping a neurotic cat from going insane..it's just how life goes.
So, what's up with me? Well, a quick update, then a warning. (Ooooooh, scary voice...whatever shall we do).
As far as what's up with me...school, school, and did I mention school?
I'm down to the final...14 months or so, and then I is a graduate. Frightening thought, but it is almost over. Then I get to go back out into the Real World. The RW that most of my fellow students think that school is...Ah...hah, hah, hah. Some days, it's very hard to remember when and how I started this path. The fact that it is almost done is neat, but also a little unnerving.
This summer session is Economics of Tourism...I SUCK at Econ classes. Fortunately, it's an instructor I appreciated last semester, when most of my peers didn't. I don't get that. It just boggles the mind. But, hopefully I can pass Econ...with at least the C that I passed my intro econ course with.
Here within a month or two, I need to speak to the adviser who will be helping me find a job within my interests in our field. Primarily, conventions. And she thinks she can be a boon, so who am I to argue.
Well...nah, later.
Loving the new apt...have posters up (Crys was very happy when we put up the picture of Death from Sandman), along with other things to hang up and make the place more lived-in.
Convention, InCon, is in 2 days. I've not plotted a lot of what my panels will be spoken about...though, I picked three fun movies for the Top 10 Worst that we do every year. We thought about bringing Whose Line back, but unfortunately, I was unable to make the time to contact the friends who do that, so it's off the list this year..hopefully, I can help organize it a little better next year.
Not watching a LOT of TV anymore. Try to catch "My Name is Earl", Big Bang has dropped off for me..I'm waiting on Dollhouse to see if it truly survives, or if this is a quick reprieve..and am still horribly addicted to Lost. Still LOVE Dr. Who and Torchwood...and am glad to be getting Defixione hooked on it, with help from Crys and Friendstephen. Along with The IT Crowd. I find I like more Brit TV than domestic, at this point.
And now, for the PSA portion of this entry. There is DRAMA on the Intertubes...(ooooooooh). I know, who would have expected that.
Fortunately, this drama has had the good sense to mostly stay away from involving me in it (except for one attempt early on, which didn't turn out as the instigator hoped), but it's coming closer and closer to involving me. That would be a big ass mistake. *shrugs* The fun part is that no one has really seen me go to "war"...it's not something I take lightly. But if the rampant pieces of bullshit do not stop, I'll have pretty much no choice. And I would hope involved parties are smarter than that, but then again, I'd have thought it would have evaporated ages ago. This warning should serve to note just how fed up I am with it.
So, as much as I detest such...a simple warning. Stop. If you think it's gotten bad now? Imagine losing everything, every friend, every confidence...all of it. Cause that is the path. *shrugs* And, I certainly hope that it is apparent that this is not a threat. This is the pattern here. Much like Galactica liked to state..all this has happened before, and all this will happen again. And, another good movie quote..the only winning move is not to play.
Cause remember..I'm the quiet one..I'm the one that everyone tends to underestimate. But, I'm also the protector..primarily of myself, but also of my friends. I'm the one who always thought he had a hard time making friends in school, and tried to help. And then realized that I had a LOT more friends than I'd ever realized. And when I see my friends being hurt, I WILL help, in most cases damning the consequences. Cause the majority lesson in having and being friends is being there for them, and trying to help them through the insanity that can be life. And for people not to understand what the true meaning of friendship is, that causes me to have issue.
And, that's it for this update. If you have questions, or concerns (about things NOT related to the above mentioned drama), feel free to ask. If no questions, realize I am trying to keep up with the lives of my friends lists. I may not be commenting, but I am reading.
Hmmm...and I think we'll end with another favored quote..hey, I don't make the rules..well, ok, here on this journal, I do. ;-)
"Why not? Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari Fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else!"
Peace.
