"i think it's dark and it looks like rain" you said
"and the wind is blowing like it's the end of the
world" you said "and it's so cold it's like the
cold if you were dead" and then you smiled for
a second.
"i think i'm old and i'm in pain" you said
"and it's all running out like it's the end of the
world" you said "and it's so cold it's like the
cold if you were dead" and then you smiled for
a second
sometimes you make me feel like i'm living at
the edge of the world like i'm living at the edge
of the world "it's just the way i smile" you said

 | 12:06 pm - Professionality
I may be wrong, but I don't like it when I send an e-mail about business matters to some company, and I get a reply sent to me from well outside the company's opening hours. Sending business mail on Saturday nights feels very unprofessional to me, for some reason. Sure, you can write your e-mails at any time you like, but send them away at sensible time, unless it's something super urgent.
I guess it's supposed to feel like the company really cares about me as their customer. It feels more like I've just been answered by someone who's watching late night TV while stying to keep an eye on the kids and saying "honey, I'll just answer a coiple of work e-mails, you can start poppping popcorn!".

Maury Povich has been at the bottom of the sand since I brought him home. I'm hoping he's just molting, but as he still hadn't surfaced this morning, I began to grow concerned about Jim Bob. Jim Bob has been all alone while settling in, and hermit crabs like to have buddies. This morning I went out and brought home a third crab who settled comfortably into the shade. Satisfied, I went to work. When I got home from work, Jim Bob was up the tree and the third crab was, like Maury, buried at the bottom of the tank. Keeping an animal you've never had before is always a new experience, but these little fuckers are completely bizarre. Sorry, Jim Bob, you're on your own.
I still have no pictures to share (what with the crabs being completely AWOL), but I do have a poll.
Poll #1189667
Open to: All, results viewable to: AllName the Third Crab Suggest something cooler!
I should probably make dinner or something. Pancakes. Yes. Omnomnomnomnom.

Soooo I got my hair cut the other day:
I haven't had bangs since I was eight or nine... and the lady who cut my hair did a shitty job, and I fixed it with scissors. Sigh. It's weird, having hair hanging down on my forehead... probably wasn't a good change to make the night before two finals. :P
(I'm so glad McDavid's empty. I don't have to leave 'til tomorrow afternoon. My room is desolate. I don't really wanna sleep in this room-turned-cell. Oh wells)

 | 11:53 am - Prince Caspian
So Prince Caspian was pretty great. I enjoyed Peter and Caspian's "I'm the prettiest!" "No, I am!" pissing matches. Oh boys, don't you know Edmund is the prettiest of you all? That kid is adorable. Also, Susan was quite badass. Up with girls! And Reepicheep! Aw, I loved him when I was a kid, one of my favourite characters in the books. I think I even dressed up as him for Halloween one time. Can't quite remember. It's so nice to see the books I loved as a kid portrayed so well on the big screen (and by "well" I don't mean slavishly beholden to the source material. They're called "film adaptations" for a reason). Next up: Voyage of the Dawn Treader! I'm in line already.
My parents read the Narnia books to me and my brother when I was pretty little, I'm pretty sure it was before I could read. We actually went through the entire series four times. Then they tried to switch us over to new books, like George A. MacDonald's The Princess and The Goblin books. Of course I would have none of that, but then my mom showed me a blurb on the back of the MacDonald book where C.S. Lewis praised the book, and then I was okay with it (well, if C.S. Lewis says it's okay, then it must be). So blurbs actually work on impressionable young children. Alert the publishers!

No names, but it's sometimes SO annoying to hear gorgeous people whine about how they'e fugly.
Because I KNOW how it works. I know it from the outside, theoretically, and I know it from the inside. How, no matter what you know and wish you saw, it's still not what you see when you look in the mirror. No matter what people say. No mattet nothing. So yes, I uderstand and I know...
But I can't help but think "YOU of all people...". Like some people have no right to do so. Some people should just not be allowed to hawe body image-problems.
(This is not an attempt to cheer up anonymopusly, just me rambling.)

from Wikipedia:
Samsun is een stad in het noorden van Turkije, gelegen aan de Zwarte Zee. De stad is de hoofdstad van de gelijknamige provincie en telt 396.900 inwoners (2004).
Samsun is de grootste Turkse stad aan de Zwarte Zee en het belangrijkste industriële en economische centrum van de regio. Opgravingen wijzen op een nederzetting daterend uit de kopertijd. De eerste bekende naam was Gasgalarca; van de Milesiërs kreeg ze rond 750 v.Chr. de naam Amisos. In latere tijden was Samsun de residentie van de bisschop. In 1413 veroverde de Ottomaanse sultan Mehmet I de stad op de Seltsjoeken. Onder Atatürk werd de stad belangrijker.
Samsun is a city in the north of Turkey, located along the Black Sea. The city is the capital of the like-named province and counts 396,900 residents (2004).
Samsun is the greatest Turkish city along the Black Sea and the main industrial and economic center of the region. Excavations tell of a settlement dating out of the copper age. The first known name was Gasgalarca; the Milesiers got for it around 750 BC the name Amisos. In later times was Samsun the residence of the bishop. In 1413 the Ottoman sultan Mehmet I conquered the city of the Seljuk-Turks. Under Ataturk [a Turkish president] the city was important.
I only had to look up a few technical terms like 'opgravingen [excavations]'. I'm very proud of myself. I don't actually remember learning most of those words, either.
PS. My CSS effects are awesome sauce.

You know what sucks? Coming home after working 6 1/2 hours at a shitty job only to call your boyfriend, wake him up and have him tell you that he would rather go back to sleep than talk to you.
Other reasons why my job sucks:
My employee discount is only for Kroger brand products... yeah this does me a shit ton of good. The fact that I thought I was going to get a discount on all of my groceries was one of the reasons that I took the damn job.
I was scheduled for Mon May 19th even though I told my boss that I needed it off. Apparently she didn't inform the guy who does the scheduling,so I had to call him myself today. I have to go home that day to present a Tech scholarship that I got last year to the person who received it this year. I was able to get the day off, but I just flat out lose the hours for that day. That means money lost that I desperately need.
I have tomorrow off, but part of my day is going to consist of attempting to follow up on applications and possibly being a sellout and applying to Starsucks (hey, they pay $7.50 base!). I need more money and a better paying job gorramit.
At least, as Will pointed out, I may be able to do research with a professor next summer and get paid a hell of a lot more to do something in my field. That would fucking rock!
Now I'm going to take a bath and read more of Speaker for the Dead, which I'm about half-way through (so good!).

 | 04:39 pm - Spider
Today there was a little brown spider in my doorway. Travis opened the door this afternoon and there was a tiny white web suspended between the two sides. He stopped me from walking through and the spider dropped down to the porch step when we unhooked the stays from the brick. I picked him up with a new, green shoot off the bush by our porch and set him safely on the leaves. This has made me happy.
Now, there's a lesson here. To my darling friends who are bored, most of you are English majors. Go find something wonderful and write a poem about it.
(Aren't I cheesy? but hardly as bad as livejournal posts can get.)
If that doesn't work, come visit me!
