I have the feeling this will be my last entry on Xanga. I've never really liked Xanga nor it's formatting, and have been a LJ user for a good long while. It's tiring to constently copy-paste and update my Xanga from my LJ. Especially when there are only about... 3 or 4 Xangas that I actually read anymore. Everyone I used to read either has just stopped posting, moved to MySpace, or I just have no interest in reading the entries they have.
P.S. - I really want my lip ring back. *tear* With my tutoring job, I
may not be able to pull that off. Maybe when I'm done with it. I
guess I'll have to get something else pierced to hold me over. Anyone
wanna go with me to get my industrial pierced? (HEM, JOSH) It's gonna
hurt like a bitch, but... *tear* I misses mah lip ring. I misses it
good.
I just thought this was damn funny. Sometimes, it's the little things in life... (I stole it from diongham's Xanga... Sorta... I ended up going to YouTube to find it b/c I'm lazy.)
The day's been going well, I think. Yesterday
was a little long, but it was all good in the end. I had to get up
early, after a late night of hanging out with Kent, and went to the
tutoring job that I now have. It wasn't too hard, and damn skippy, I
have a 40 dollar check in my wallet that I'm going to cash and buy
groceries with. That and I have a 130 dollar or so pay check coming to
me on Wednesday. I also got to drive the rest of Ft. Worth Drive/377
(I THINK it's 377) when I went to Grapevine for the tutoring job. It
was really pretty, and a little rainy, and so it was actually a nice
drive in all. Though, on the way back, *LAUGHS* I somehow got turned
around, and ended up on I-35 on the exit that I used to take from the
Frost bank way past Lewisville. I was like, "How the FUCK did I end up
here?" And unless you're from around here/live here, that probably
won't make much difference. (It's an exit about 6 exits after Main St.
exit in Lewisville.)
I've also been listening to the Guano Apes
again. I found a remix that was done of Big In Japan by them, and I
really actually like it. Most the time, I'm not big on remixes,
because they aren't always true to the song, which I feel robs the song
of it's meaning and/or feeling. But I felt with this one, they did a
really good job. I can actually listen to it without twitching in
pain. *laughs* Speaking of that, how do you upload songs on LJ? I
know people do it a lot, but I'm so freaking ignorant in that kind of
area. *laughs* There's a couple of songs besides the Big In Japan and
the remix I'd like to post.
It's weird. I've been on a Fall Out
Boy, Yellowcard, and Guano Apes binge. That's a lot of the music I
really was listening to in senior year of high school. *laughs* And
not counting a few exceptions, I'm not even really listening to the
newer music, it's the stuff I listened to back when. (*laughs*, I say
'back when' like it was more than 3 years ago...) Speaking of that,
randomly, can anyone recommend a good downloading program that isn't a
torrent program? I use torrents mostly, but there's a few really
individual songs that I'm trying to find, and it's a pain to try to go
through torrents to find them.
Um... Anyway... I have an essay
on Hawthorne I need to write. I'm thinking of picking the topic about
violation of the human soul in his stories. Seems to be the eaisest.
*shrug* And now... MORE SHAKESPEARE PROFESSOR QUOTES! Gah, I'm so
wanting to take more classes from Menzer. (That's my professor, by the
way.)
Riiiight.
~Quote(s) O' The Entry~
"What is
the 'f' doing in 'twelfth' anyway? I think as a group we should all
start pronouncing the 'f' to annoy people. I do this a lot. Last time
it was pronouncing 'a play' as 'ah play'. So when you hear people
pronouncing it 'ah play', that was me. I'm like a phonetic virus."
--My Shakespeare Professor
"And you will all go to the
University's *hem*, 'Super Pit', which is an oxymoron in it's self!
God, Cicero is spinning in his grave somewhere!" --My Shakespeare
Professor on UNT's Super Pit, where basketball games and graduations
take place
"And they will have some grand intellectual such as
The President... of Timex. And he will fart gently into the microphone
for 20 minutes." --My Shakespeare Professor on the speakers at
graduations
"This classroom is severly lacking a coat room. You
know, valets to take your coat and such." --My Shakespeare Professor
attempting to find somwhere to hang his coat
"Fish gotta swim,
birds gotta fly, man's gotta narrate!" --My Shakespeare Professor on
how Shakespeare's plays attempt to explore how human's can never see
the full picture, they can only get a partial view. He's also
referring to Horatio in Act 5 after everyone dies.
Randomly, I'm also learning the basics of belly dancing. DAMN! It's more challenging than you'd think! But fun.
That is all! ^_^
~Quote(s) O' The Entry~
"Claudius
is not a cut and paste mustache twirler..." --My Shakespeare professor
on why Claudius is an intelligent bad guy... Okay, all these quotes are
pretty much from my Shakespeare professor. He's just that awesome.
"Lex
talionis... Means an eye for an eye... A tooth for a tooth... Hey, you
know? Lex talionis... Sounds like an Italian porn star, doesn't it?"
--My Shakespeare professor
"Queen Elizabeth had many attempts on
her life from the sublime to the ridiculuos. Someone once tried to
poison her saddle. ...Which turns out, does not work." --My
Shakespeare professor
"Can I get an amen?" --My Shakespeare professor. He got a loud chorus of response back.
"I'm taking a pause to have a sip of my coffee. I feel some BLOOD leaking into my caffine system." --My Shakespeare professor
"He's
being kind of snarky." --My Shakespeare professor on a comment by
Hamlet. This just made me laugh, because he used the word "snarky".
Good memories.
"Marlowe died by accidently stabbing himself in
the eye with a dagger in 1592. ...Which will obviously kill you." --My
Shakespeare professor
"'All who do not love tobacco and young boys are fools.' That's Marlowe for you." --My Shakespeare professor on Marlowe.
