Got the questions from kelene because clearly, we don't know enough about one another :)

Leave me a comment saying "Resistance is Futile."
• I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can satisfy my curiosity.
• Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
• Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.

1/ What's your favourite fruit?
Mmmm, gotta say pomegranates are the absolute end all answer to any question, ever. They're such a pain in the ass to peel and whatever, but ungh I could eat them all day.

2/ What was your best subject at school?
English (it should be, I majored in it). Reading and analyzing or writing or whatever, I liked it all :D

3/ If you had a car and an endless supply of petrol, where would you go? Who would you take with you?
I would love to drive through Canada to Alaska. I mean, I love Alaska and would love to drive through there. And I would take anyone who wanted to go. Anyone and everyone cause if I had endless petrol I would obviously have to get one of those monster RVs.

4/ What's your favourite non-bandom band? :D
Meat Loaf. No question. I grew up listening to his music with my mom (explains so much) and know all the words to his ridiculously long songs.

5/ Your ideal career, tell me about it!
Ummmm I don't really have one yet :/ I just want something with awesome co-workers.

So I've come to the conclusion after seeing The Used with sly_fuck that I am too old and not cool enough to do concerts. That being said, it was completely fucking awesome. There was a baby band and a not baby band up as openers. The baby band (Drive A) was okay I think? I bought their CD to check out at not earsplitting levels. The lead singer came down and started a mosh pit which I totally don't understand the appeal of paying to get your ass kicked but whatever.

The second band, The Almost was pretty good? Like, there were approximately eight thousand members (4 humans, Cousin It and a Wookie- oh and that shy Indian guy from Big Bang Theory), but once they hit the Jesus loves you spiel I zoned out. I'm not dissing anyone's religion, but damnit I was at a rock concert. Do not want.

The Used. I got some horrendously crappy pictures and possibly a broken toe but goddamnit they made me SO fucking happy. They played All That I've Got which was the only one I really wanted to hear. I saw Quinn maybe twice and Dan I think once... It didn't feel like anywhere near an hour and a half when the boys finished and everyone who bought these pass things filed outside to get their stuff signed. sly_fuck and I both brought our copy of Artwork to get signed which it didn't seem like a lot of people had thought ahead like that, but whatev. Quinn sort of intimidated (read: scared the shit out of) me, but he was the first to sign and pretty fucking awesome. Dan looks like a mountain man and sort of not all there... Bert got distracted by the Buffy the Vampire Slayer musical CD I had in the Artwork case and spent a while staring at it. Jepha is forever my favorite despite the thing growing on his upper lip. All the boys except Dan signed in pink and purple Sharpie together. Altogether: fucking AWESOME.

( Really awful pictures under the cut, also of Harry Potter Trunk or Treat and Buster Posey )

tl;dr: Concert was AWESOME. Bert got distracted by Buffy, got their signatures on my CD, still can't hear from right ear, fear it's permanent.

Yankees got spanked! The Phillies are in this baby :D

As you may or may not know, I walked in my college's graduation ceremony in May 2009, finished up the last class I needed in summer session to get my Bachelor of the Arts in English and went gallivanting off to Alaska for a week of R&R.

Come job hunt time, I can't find anything, but that's okay cause someone suggested I take the CBEST and become a substitute teacher cause at least that'll give me some money. So I take it and pass, and then get to thinking about my degree certificate and where it is.

So I call my school, thinking they're just being their usual inefficient selves and not sending out that piece of paper when surprise I haven't graduated after all. Academic adviser: "But you've still got classes unfulfilled."

Um, excuse me, what the FUCK are you talking about? I have an academic adviser who sent me off to graduation with nary a thought that I had left a class unfulfilled. Fine, whatever. Tell me what class I need to complete. And how in the seven hells did I get the okay to graduate with that glaring hole? Dean of my college: "I'm sorry you feel like you haven't been advised properly. Ultimately it is the student's responsibility to know the requirements to graduate." Um, no, actually, I did my job. I looked at what I needed to graduate, I went to that senior year graduation check and got the green light to graduate. So someone else fucked up their job and now I'm taking it up the ass because of your incompetency. I was 17 when I started college and keeping track of what classes I needed in order to graduate. And I finished all my upper division courses at the end of my junior year and was taking filler classes and the lower division classes I needed. I have the credits, that's not an issue.

I've emailed them a lot just trying to find out what I need to do to fix this. Got some laughably unhelpful responses. And then they stopped responding. For over a week. I finally called another office and got some help, but this school is not cooperating with me. AT ALL.

I'm seriously tempted to go to the media to at least try to get them to help me out. I've called my academic adviser twice and gotten ZERO return calls. The only time this school is helping me is when I'm on the line and forcing the issue.

I don't know what to do. fabrosaurus has pretty much spent the last two weeks waiting for me to throw myself off a bridge. Told my parents but fuck how do you tell your grandma something like this? AKA: Kailey's being a goddamn coward and not telling her grandma.

fml

tl;dr: School fucked me over. Angry. Trying to fix it. fml

( Alright, so which of you guys is writing for CM? )

Also, in completely unrelated news, I got the most amazing leopard print Snuggie for my birthday. It is AMAZING. :D

Now I have 3/4 of a gecko?

Close enough for true. I was trying to clean out his terrarium and had to move him to a travel box (which I've done before) and snagged him, which whatever. But then there was Art sitting on the edge of the terrarium. And something WIGGLING in my HAND. His TAIL came off in my HAND and immediately started spazzing and twitching and flopping around. Much like a fish out of water. Or, apparantly, a TAIL no longer ATTACHED to a GECKO. It was traumatic. Seriously. There were tears and phone calls to pretty much everyone I know. barefoot_starz had to come over and throw the tail away cause there was no way I was touching it again.

Still unemployed.

Left for a funeral on Saturday at 7:45AM and returned at 6:00PM.

Waiting on the results of the CBEST (still) so I can be a substitute teacher.

Went to the Hollywood Bowl to see John Williams (JOHN MOTHERFUCKING WILLIAMS!!!!!) conduct the LA Philharmonic. Holy hell. Holy. Hell.

How are all of you?

Ahahahahah mine mine mine second from the top YEEAAAAHH!!!

My cat brings all the boys to the yard... ...Or something


:D:D:D:D

Quick question: What happened to stereomer's lj? Repeated attempts to get on it tell me it's been deleted? But why?

So, I'm sitting at home, minding my own business and watching Sports Central when fucking Joe Jonas invades my TV. Like it's not bad enough that the Jonas Brothers are invading my internet friends, but I have to watch them on ESPN? Fucking ESPN. My SPORTS channel. Not the Jonas Brothers channel. I just want to watch some baseball, okay?

Also, JOE KEEP MIKE TYSON AWAY FROM YOUR EARS! YOU NEED THOSE, OKAY?

For those of you not in the know, my family are huge San Francisco Giants fans, myself included and we've been watching a hell of a lot more baseball this year than most. So because I figured everyone could stand a dose of baseball players, some pictures of my favorites.

( Mostly because they're hot, some because they're just that awesome, and all because I figured we could all use a dose of above age, above average height men. )

Basically I just raided my photobucket account.

( And everyone else cause you're awesome! )

I stole this from mickey_sixx because if I'm jumping on the Jonas Brother bandwagon, I might as well do it properly, right?



Plus it's Eddie Izzard, and I want his tiara. :D

1. Leave me a comment with "IMMA KEEL YOU" in the subject line.
2. I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.

3. Update your journal with the answers to the questions.

4. Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.

1. What is your favourite memory from your childhood?
Being at Disneyland with my parents, and sitting around eating one of those Mickey ice cream stick things on a wall. Or pretty much, any time I'm in Disneyland with my family. I regress to a child when we're there even though the last time I was there I was 21...

2. Tell me one thing that you have that you know you should have thrown out years ago, but can't bare to part with it.
I actually have two... A Minnie Mouse blanket and a stuffed pink rabbit that both still live on my bed. Shh.

3. If you and your favourite character (from any fandom) ever met, what would you do with them?
ahahahaha, god what wouldn't I do? Mostly I would end up talking a lot. About inane, ridiculous things. Probably.

4. DO YOU LOVE ME???
LIKE BURNING

5. What do you think is the most attractive quality in the opposite sex?
Honestly? Intelligence. I mean, yeah. A hot body's nice, but if he's stupid I just can't deal.

so I'm okay now but I just got out of the ER. I went to dinner with my grandma- my GRANDMA!! And had a (1) mai tai and ended up passing out at the table. I don't remember this so much. My aunt called 911 and some hot firemen showed up and then I got a bumpy ride to the hospital. My life. So hard.

Like I said I'm good now. We're still on for the cruise and I'm a fucking lightweight. It may have had to do with the meds I took earlier too. Now I have to go take off these EKG moniters. Ugh.

don't know when I'll be back again. Oh babe I hate to go. Not really, sorry guys.

I'm off for a week to the great wilds of Alaska and I'm SO fucking excited! I kinda despair of having to leave in the middle of bigbang season but I can only wait to see the ones posted while I'm gone.

Also barefoot_starz will be coming while I'm gone!! I'm almost more excited about that than I am for going! Yo, remember that drawer and if you find a wrapped CD and picture thing on the desk they're both yours. :D

Mate if you disappear again I'm going to tie you up and it won't be fun.

Love you all see you when I get back!! I'll have pictures!

My mom made this cake where she made a cake and put some tequila in it and then when it was cooling poured tequila on it and then put like half a bottle of teqiula in the glaze. There's like a half bottle of tequila in this biznatch.

OM.

Fresno.

Saturday. 1PM.

Meet In The Middle 4 Equality

I know everyone lives far far away, but it's happening. I'll be there with fucking bells on.

Bring it.

Saw Star Trek twice today. TWICE. In one day. The first time my friend and I took my brother to see it, but halfway through the picture got really blurry, so we went down to tell someone and I guess they thought we were gonna bitch about it? They gave us free passes, and we'd only missed 10 minutes or so before we went back in and got to see it again a couple hours later.

Blasphemy and spoilers under the cut.

( Three times in three days. What is this world where Star Trek is infinitely cooler than Star Wars? )
