Agh.

So.. Just got back from a meeting with the main Residence guy. My RA Ashlee, and I went to go talk to him about the fact that my room mates are loud, drunk, violent and.. altogether not good people.

Apparently, it's unfair of him to transfer me to a room beside Vanessa Toutante, and I may have to wait 3 weeks to see if things change in our suite.

GOD.

Guh.

Monkey Brains!

That's it. I'm moving into the Web Developer house this summer. That's right. I'll be the only girl, surrounded by geeky gamers.. and.. I'll get drunk and play WoW..

And learn how to program like a biznatch! Woo!

IDK.

Living on my own IS as fun as I thought it would be.. but.. it could be better! It could be! And that is why I am striving to move in with people who don't think I'm weird for dancing to Imogen Heap, belting out Wicked songs, or staying up until three playing Nintendo on mute.

Guh. The chance to move to another room with people who actually appreciate my existance and respect my space is making me excited.

But at the same time I feel shitty for having to wait. Shitty and depressed.


Crap monkeys.
I need a hug.

And a subscription to WoW.

But especially a hug.

Anybody want to do anything sometime? Hanging out is fun..


-pout-

Photoshop things

I feel kind of odd, having not posted in LJ for a long time.. but I've been busy, and.. I didn't really have anything to share. Well, I don't now either.. but hey. I wanted to share my improvement in photoshop. Please comment if you think they're cool. I need encouragement. =/

First: A poster. (click to see zee full version)


Second: A web page picture which is organized so that the words can become buttons easily. I know how to do that now, by the way.



Yeah.. I'm really tired. I need a nap, hard coredly.

Aaanndd.. thats all I got. Off to programming! -slits wrists-

BAHAHAHAAHHAAH.


I am excited to come home.

I am not feeling as sick as I did.

I want to see my dog.

I have fallen in love with every bit of music on Sufjan Stevens's albums.

VANESSA AND I JUST DISCOVERED THAT THE ACTORS FROM WICKED AREN'T WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE!

Which, at first we thought was terrible.. but then we looked 'em up..

And Shoshana(wtf?) Bean and Megan Hilty are Elphaba and Glinda and.. and.. and..

HOLY FUCK MONKEYS.

We're excited! And they're better than Idina and Kristin! (In Alana's opinion, Vanessa's not sure)

And we actually get to see them! US! YAYYY!

CHECK 'EM OUT! ISS SOO GOOOD!!!!!1!

(We almost died of excitement. And goosebumps. Especially goosebumps.)

Sep. 20th, 2006

work, work. work, work, work.

Wow. I have been busy. Between classes, studying, working on assignments, hanging out with folks, and sleeping.. (I wish I got more sleep.. -sobs-) I haven't really had time to surf the wonderful, wonderful internet.

Which, for me, is absolutely shocking. I mean really, me, not surfing zee net. Is anyone else truly and utterly surprised?! I'd been out of school for a year, and then my spare time went to internet surfings..and.. knitting.. and now.. BAM. No time for you, monsieur fun technology.

College.

Righto. The past couple days have been insane. With class and the hanging out, I really haven't had the energy to post anything at all!!

But now it is a Friday. And I haven't got classes to worry about or anything.

My room is huge. I enjoy it. My suite-mates keep making fun of how little stuff I have. Compared to them I have brought nothing! Not that I really care. More room for dancing and drunkeness! WOO! Oh. And studying. I've been doing my homework so far. And will/must continue to do so.

The classes I've had so far have been really interesting and fun, and so have my professors. This bodes very well.

Classes/Lectures/Seminars:

(I've grouped the same topics together, I have a class and lecture on each topic, and sometimes a lab to go with it.)

- Intro to HTML
- Web Interface Design
- Technology Career Fundamentals
- Software Fundamentals
- Graphics Theory
- E-Portfolio

20 hrs of class a week. Pah.



So yes. Fun, relevant stuff. I get to try my hand at programming things.. in this language called C# (C Sharp)

I'm excited!

In other news:
I love Jill. She brought me wine.. And.. I went to class buzzed! Woooo! I didn't miss anything important, just was more talkative during group work. Funfun.


What else happened?
Oh! Went out for a night on the town.. well, to the bowling alley. I can't believe those three drove out here just to bowl! It was awesome! Kristi and Matt and Vanessa and Jill and Me. And here I thought I wouldn't be able to see Matt before he went off to school! Yay!

Well, I guess thats about it for an LJ entry.. pssh. Lots of stuff has been going on, but I don't want to type it all out. Besides, I'm going to Wonderland tomorrow. I need to get some sleep.

Oh, right. Infos:

"This is your first year, Alana?" "Yes.." "Well then, Welcome Home!"

Wow. Ok. So I'm at college. There was a huge party last night, the stairwell in my dorm smells like beer. I met new people... and then woke up this morning, looked over the news.. and.. yeah.


The Crocodile Hunter DIED! Read the article. Its kind of ironic.. Killed, while getting really close to animals. Oi. The humanity! At first I thought it was a joke.. but no.. its on most of the popular news sites.

Anyway, the next official college event is at 4pm. And now... its.. 9:16.

What in the name of hell am I going to do all day?

My computer at work did a bit of Hari Kiri today. I hope all of the things I've been working on are recoverable.. Otherwise everything I did since starting to work there was for nothing.

Which, sucks, basically.

I saw A Chorus Line. It was one of the best shows I've ever seen at the Academy, honestly. I enjoyed it. Also got to meet up with Alex, which was good as well.

I leave next sunday or monday.. depending on.. well.. if I'm packed. hah hah.
I should start packing.

Those of you who haven't left yet, we should hang out again. Yesyes.

Anyway, back to work..

Aug. 23rd, 2006

Just so you all know how I feel...

This quite literally is the representive diagram of my life:

(no subject)

I feel completely and utterly messed lately. People are leaving or are in the process of or have left.

I need to pack, and family are planning on what I should take..

People are relating their school experiences.. and.. theres just so much to take in.

I wish I could've left weeks ago, and avoided the mental back to school traffic jam that has erupted everywhere.

And I'm in this really weird mood lately.. I'm not upset about people going. I'm excited.. Its not an end, its a continuation. But at the same time, everything feels.. urgent. Urgency! And everything feels very.. important.. By everything I mean relationships with people, and things that need to be done.

I guess I'm afraid of forgetting something. Like a sock. Or a hug.

Yup.

I wish I were still unemployed today.

A lot of ranting. In an lj-cut for your scrolling convenience. Personally, I hate long entries. )

Oi. This new job of mine is really stressing me out. The work I have to do isn't particularly difficult, but needs a certain degree of focus. People are always in and out and shouting and.. ugh! Such a busy place! Its a very stressful atmosphere. Its kind of wacky. I'm glad I'm getting challenged in a new way though.

School is soon. My first time moving out, my first time in my own room.. I'm excited.. but also terrified. Heh heh. New people. New place. Different=scary! I'm sure I'll be ok after the first two weeks or so.. and its not as if Home is 24 hours away.. I will be living 45 minutes away, 30 minutes if I speed. Ahahah. Just getting the jibblies about school I guess. I'm also concerned about budgeting. I should probably swear off alcohol and all things awesome until I KNOW I can afford it. Frugal-ness will set in as soon as I move in.

And.. I'm worried someone will steal my stuff. My laptop! My camera! My books! Agh! How to protect them?! I guess I'll have to keep the door to my dorm room locked for all time. Muahahah!

In other news, I bought a crapload of Fimo polymer modeling clay the other day. I like to craft things. So sue me. I've really wanted a bird bit of jewellry..


and haven't been able to find a nice one anywhere for a reasonable price. Like.. Under $10. Ahahah. I know. I'm pushing it.

Anywho, last night around 11:15 pm I got fed up and decided to make a bird-like thing.. and.. this is what I got:



Yeah. Kinda of odd. And a terrible photo. But I like it. Just between you and me, I cooked it a wee bit too long, and.. its.. sort of scorched.. Heh heh.
But! Its nothing a bit of paint can't fix. It kind of makes it look rustic.. and.. burntic.. but you wouldn't of noticed if I hadn't of told you.

=P

I'll add a bit of felt or ribbon to it, and it'll look FINE. I SWEAR IT.

Man, today was not an interesting day at all. I've been typing numbers into Quikbooks and Excel for hours.. and then filing.. FILING. And if thats not boring in itself, my mother is my supervisor. MY MOTHER.

Also: Some people I know are being bitches/jerks and this makes me want to beat them up. Oi.

Well, as long as you're reading this..here is a reward

Ok Go's Here it Goes again, the music video!


God. I cannot fucking wait until college... although.. I doubt it'll make any fucking difference.

Everything is illuminated

I've been watching a lot of movies lately.. The movies I've seen have either been terrible, or amazing.

Tonight I saw Everything is Illuminated.
I should have watched it sooner. The story was amazing, and the soundtrack was awesome. The deleted scenes of the movie have really really wacky ideas, that have would've wrecked the tone of the film... but are bloody hilarious. I've included an animated version of part of my favourite clip. It is Sammy Davis Jr. Jr.'s daydream, in which she falls in love with Elijah wood's character, Jonathan Foer. Yes. That is Elijah. With 70's facial hair. Drinking water from the hose.. while bubbles float through the air.. and he poses in front of a car.

Sammy Davis Jr. Jr. is one imaginative puppy.



Anyway, I reccomend this movie. Lots.

Along with Elizabethtown. Watch that too, if you haven't already.

P.S.: I'm employed again. Fuck.
