Still alive, for those of you who wanted to know......
Yeah, okay. I'm still here. I am still breathing, I have a pulse...(wait, you mean I actually had one to begin with?) I am still alive. Haven't posted much because there's been too much stuff on my mind. I've been trying to live a life that has been occupied with multitasking mumbo-jumbo.
1) Been dealing with small things, like finding out about placement tests, getting amazed (again) by the size of the De Anza campus, thinking to myself 'damn, this is one uberbig campus...' and in general getting the pre-college freshman terror that all freshmen felt at one point or another. (Happened to me freshman year of high school, both @ Willow Glen & Lincoln, not to mention 6th grade @ Hoover...)
2ndly, been having to deal w/![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
misdev leaving the state, (flower_cat isn't really all that thrilled with the idea of doing Consuite for Consonance next year, but she'll do it if she's gotta...) and I've been finding more mail for an "Angela Looper" lying around the house.
3rd, trying to deal with Mayhem and making sure she keeps her medicine schedule to where it should be. We've decided that we might not be taking her to LosCon this year due to the distraction that conventions provide.
4)We've also decided that we are going back into the SCA and are currently preparing for Mists Coronet because we've noticed that most of the science fiction usual conventions we'd be going to over the next few years (i.e: worldcon, westercon, etc.) will all be out of the state or at a expensive excursion somewhere that will simply wreak havoc on our budget. I don't know about you folks, but although it might be fun, I don't want to putmdlbear and flower_cat through that kind of torture. It's expensive enough to go to other cons that we do (baycon, loscon, consonance, etc.)
5) Trying to manage time schedules has been a real pain. I'm supposed to shop for winter clothes through Lands' End with a gift certificate I got from my great uncle. I am still trying to figure out what's "in style" and what I would wear, and what my classes are. I admit I'm not a 'fasion junkie' in the common sense of the word, but I do like to look good and look cool in what I wear. Need to go to hot topic, too....and trying to find time to update recently has been a pain in the tail.
6) Managing multiple game nights around all my RPGs online and around the CSI nights has been very amusing. One minute, I forget to turn my status on IM to 'away', and I get back to find I've got 4-50 messages from the same person. It's been a tricky task, but somehow (don't ask me how I do it) I am able to avoid these roadblocks.
7) Also trying to play with the gamer geeks over here has been fun. I mean, it's nice to go sit and listen to their geekness, but when you try to play in the game, they sit there and ignore you or interrupt whenever you try to get in a word. Doesn't sound like good friends, right? That's why I try not to hang around them when I can, but sometimes it seems that there are a few good gamers who will let you in and let you try to talk.
8) Picking classes. (see #1.) Again, the whole De Anza thing is a bit scary, but it's also very fun becauseflower_cat seems to be picking my classes for me, and she knows I hate it when she does that. So, this led to conversation of the week:
"Me: If you want to pick my classes for me, why don't you just go back to college?
Mom: You nuts? I'm not that crazy." It would seem that whenever I try to get her to get back into college, she sits there & laughs at me, stating that job hunting and being mother of 2 children is quite enough for her. I shrug and pretend that nothing happened, though I usually think that she does have the time to do it.
9) Seems that every time I try to go do something pretaining to a group of my friends, I either get growled at or have my head chewed off just because I tried to state a point or tried to ask a simple question. Pisses me off because I'm just trying to mention a simple fact or ask a simple question, both of which probably require 2 minutes of time to answer at the most. 98% of the things over the last few months have been aggravating me, because trying to ask a question has been out of the question, and trying to make a point just gets me growled at or smacked by nasty reprecussions much later. I don't know what to do about it anymore...seems like I should just quit, but I know that nothing ever got done by quitting.
10) Life feels like it's been hell to me. I have not killed my sister all summer, and I do get tired of repeating myself when trying to ask her about a few simple chores that she needs to do when Mom isn't around the house to take care of it. When I tell her "When you have a minute, you have to do cans." she will turn to me and say "After this show." 10 shows later, she still says "After this show," which makes me want to tie her to my pell and kill her that way. I haven't yet. I haven't even gotten the pole yet. I do know that she's still alive and being a pest about everything, not listening to anything except blackmail of the television being taken away if she doesn't do what she's told.
11) See #1 & 8. I have little to no time on my hands at all. In addition to my usual werewolf game (every other saturday) I have convention meetings up the wazzo...meaning that I am on staff for BayCon (or at least I was this year) was on staff for FurCon this year, am staff for LosCon this year (can't get to meetings there, due to the fact they're all in burbank...) and am on FC staff next year. Have a math placement test to take either sometime between now & thursday (or if I take it Sat, I'm in deep trouble) and I have a FC meeting for next year's con on Saturday. Don't want to do the test and the meeting on the same day. That'll kill me.
Just for the record: The cut-tags are not something I use normally. This was a very long post that had too many things that are completly unrelated. I probably might do this again, but I would like it known this is the first cut-tag on my LJ.
Need to change my profile too.........that's random and I can do it whenever the hell I feel like it.
