Queen of the Technicalities

No, its not as serious as the title suggests. i have just decided that irish_tome doesn't describe/fit me much anymore. I started this journal when I was in college, and since I am out and have grown since then, I decided I needed something different. So from now on the chronicles of my life, few they may be, will be continued in my new journal. The names cresent, flintycresent.

Went to bed at 2am. Got up at 6am. Now you may be wondering why I have kept such horrible hours today. It is because I didn't buckle down and get things done when I should have. And by things I mean my 6 page book report that is due at 9am today, of which I have 4 pages written. I had planned on getting it done by Wednesday so I could edit it yesterday, but that didn't pan out. CU is right, this isn't like me. If this wasn't the end of week 9 I would go to the counciling center, but since there is only 1 more week of classes, there seems to be no point. Well, this was a good diversion while it lasted. Back to work.

I would like for someone to give me a logical anti-gay/gay marriage argument. And not just any anti-gay/gay marriage argument. One that doesn't have any references to the Bible or ny type of religion. I want to see someone do that. Only then will I listen to that type of argument.

It is a known fact that the verses referencing homosexuality don't really apply today. You can't just take the verse at face value, you need to know the context in which it was written. Example: If you are against gay/gay marriage because of a certain verse (can't remember it now) You would also have to be pro slavery and against women's rights, since the next verses deal with those subjects. I'd put a link to an article I read, but I can't find it. I know it is on facebook, under one of the "against Gay Marriage, then don't get one and shut up" groups. It's titled "God Hates Fags" or something to that effect. It is a very informative article, and should be read by anyone who if for gay marriage and homosexuality.

The above thought(s) came to me while in the shower. Weird things come to my brain in the shower. I think ONU is putting something in the water(jk).

Well, the day didn't get off to the best start. Had to get up early to study for an accounting exam (which I screwed up on, come on large curve). Tried to get my roommie up, which when I left she wasn't up, so I can only hope she got to her class. While walking to class myself, I thought,"what a beautiful sunrise." I realized I should have brought my camera along to take a picture of it. I then looked to the opposite side of the sky, and what did I see there but a full rainbow. The Entire Arc!! All the way across the sky. It wasn't even raining. It filled me with much happiness, and made me feel like the day can't go bad with this to start it out. I just hope it does the same thing tomorrow, so CU can see it. She will be disappointed that she missed it. Well, that's all for now.

OMG! I just learned the my friend Spencer is engaged to his boyfriend Andrew! I am sooooooo happy for them, i hope they have a wonderful life together. I am happy that Spencer found someone who he wants to spend the rest of his life with. It just gives me warm fuzzies all over thinking about it. Yay!

One Note: This does go to prove my whole "Why are all the cute guys gay?" theory

Just a quick funny:

My roomie got a card that said ". . . you hell bound pagan"

I mispronounced it back to her as " . . . you hell bound penguin"

*laughs hysterically*

Just the imagry is funny.

Why is it so hard for me to come up with names for things? I've decided to name my computer, but I can't think of one. I want something along the lines of Mortimer (my Haloween Raven), but I can't think of one. And I'm not calling it Damien. It's not that evil. I think it is a "male" computer, if you can have such a thing, which would explain my problems with it. If anyone reads this, unfortunatly i don't think anyone does, any suggestions would be helpful.

I am feeling tired, emotionally overwhelmed, and ready to break down and cry. "Rents are coming tomorrow, and I can't wait. I didn't realize hoe much I missed them, and Mom's cooking. Tonight was supposed to be more fun than it was. Gaming, Olive Garden, and other things were supposed to happen. They did, but not in the way they were supposed to. It was supposed to just be CU, Anjana, and I, but Breton came along. having him there just changed things. I'm not jealous, but I believe I am starting to resent him. I like him well and good, and some friendly whacking is fine, but constantly gets annoying. He also seems to be around a lot, and doesn't even knock when he comes over. i think he needs to stay away, at least from me, for a few days. He is a little mean to me sometimes, and I don't let anything show, but I'm really sensitive to what people say about/to me, they just might not realize it. I really am more like Hakkai (from the anime Saiyuki) than people may realize. My smile is just a front. my inner self, and sometimes my sanity, are fragile. One swift "kick" and everything comes crumbling down. I think I might go to the depression screening on the 5th. I do think I am somewhat depressed, but hiding it with a smile. This is all I have to say for now, and hopefully things will be better in the morning.

*Does Happy Dance*

Went to se Wicked in Cleveland today. It was totally awesome! I absolutely loved it! The set was gorgeous, the costumes were cool, and the singing was wonderful. The woman who plays Elphaba was not playing her that night, so the understudy took over, and she was wonderful. The woman who played G(a)linda was even more blonde-ish sounding than Kristin Chenoweth. I couldn't really see very well, since our seats were 3 rows from the back of the balcony, but I didn't care. It's Wicked! There was only one snafu that everyone could tell. During Popular "Glinda", trying to get the wand to wrok, wacked it onto the bed. The top star part flew off towards backstage. Both women looked at it and burst out laughing. Then "Glinda" said something along the lines of "Well, this one's broken" and chucked it over her sholder offstage. It was hilarious, and I admire them for their recovery. I cried during For Good but not for the reason most people would think(thanks Autumn). Not everything was good though. My eyes hurt from squinting, and the two girls in front of me didn't appreciate Wicked. The one actually fell asleep during the first act! Those were seats wasted. None of that could bring the night down though. It was wonderful, and now I can say I've seen 2 broadway shows. OK, they were both touring companies, but my count is up to two (Wicked and Cats). O Happy Days!

I never realized how like meerkats or prairie dogs we can be. In the library there are little study cubicles. For any loud noise or any noise at all, everyone pops their head up and looks around. It reminds me of the first song and dance number in Lion King 1 1/2. It makes me laugh. I almost burst out into song in the silent as a tomb library.

The world just keeps getting weirder and weirder, and not in a good way. Walking to dinner two young boys, probably both about 12 years old, went riding by me on their bikes. The first one went by without a word. I expected the second one to also. Oh No, he spoke up. He said to me What up home doggie. I just kept walking with my mouth open from shock and utter amazement. It was hilarious and yet disturbing, which just goes to show that even the ghetto has made it to middle of nowhere Ohio.

Why am I here at ONU? I am having a crisis of self. I don’t even know if I want to stay in accounting anymore. I have just lost all motivation and confidence in myself. I have come to realize that I am not an A student. I am a C student, and it scares me. With my grades I feel like I am letting myself and my family down. They support me, even though I am not doing as well as I could. I wish they would push me more. I keep thinking, is accounting right for me. I love working on the computer. It make me happier to be fiddling on my computer (and with the TESCS) than ,at least, managerial accounting. I can see what Karen was saying about her wanting the Business college to have two tracks for accounting, managerial and financial. I loved financial. The income statements, the numbers, the reporting. I don’t like managerial at all. I don’t care about. I am wondering whether or not I should go into computer science, but I would be so behind the others that I would probably have to stay here another year, and my parents can’t pay for that. I am thinking of taking online courses through JCC in that, though. I will have to broach the subject with my parents during Easter vacation.
It doesn’t help that my two best friends and confidants aren't here. I miss them terribly. I knew I would miss them, but I didn't think it would be this much. I miss Anjana a lot, but I will see her sometime soon when her present comes in and she comes and gets it. CU is a different story. I though I could handle having a room to myself, but I can’t. It is lonely, there’s no one to talk to if I’m not out of the room. Both of them it feels like a piece of me is missing, but with CU it feels like more of a piece is gone. I just wish things were the way they were last year, when we were inseparable and things weren't so complicated. I don’t like change. Why can’t things be the way they were? STOP THE WORLD I WANT TO GET OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a A Spectral Dragon!

In the war between good and evil, a Spectral Dragon tends to walk the fine line of Neutrality....
When it comes to the powers of Chaos vs. those of Law and Order, your inner dragon walks a fine line between Law and Chaos....
As far as magical tendancies, Magical spells come as natural to the Spectral Dragon as breathe from it's body....
During combat situations, a true Spectral Dragon prefers to defeat opponents by the use of spells and other tactics....
'
The resurrected spirits of fallen dragon warriors, Spectral Dragons usually
find no allure in the ways of mortals or 'flesh-beings.' To this end most
never possess a single gold piece. Instead, they live their unlives by a
strict code of mental and metaphysical discipline. Their bodies are honed,
focused avatars of dragon gods long-dead. They are leaders and teachers who
prefer acolytes to be mages with an intense dedication to the betterment and
empowerment of one's own spirit. However, these creatures can be fierce in
combat; because of their nature, Spectral Dragons can change form at will,
and their undead state does not mean they have no physical influence.'
The magnificent blue-and-green flames of a Spectral Dragon are said to burn
hotter than the fires of the living. In physical appearance Spectrals are
often a shimmering grey-blue-white, much like a ghost; their common form
appears similar to that of a shade-dragon. Their eyes glow one of three
colors; the eyes of the honorably slain glow a bright green. The eyes of
the murdered glow blood-red. And the eyes of the condemned, those whose
greed or hatred destroyed their bodies, glow a bright violet.
'
This Dragons favorite elements are: are rose quartz, black roses, rain, funeral
pyres, and songs sung for the dead

You Are Scooter

Brainy and knowledgable, you are the perfect sidekick. You're always willing to lend a helping hand. In any big event or party, you're the one who keeps things going. "15 seconds to showtime!"

New classes stared today. They went pretty well, I knew someone in each class. I think Macroeconomics will go better than its micro counterpart. I had better. I need to get my GPA up to a reasonable level (aka above 3.0). Great Works will go fine. I know many people in the class. Melissa from room 116 and Allison from 118 are both in my class, which is kinda cool. Accounting is good. I have many people from ACCT 211 in my 212 class. Amanda from 2 floors up is in there, and is going to sit with me tomorrow. It was lonely sitting alone. The Comm class will be good. Mirinda is in there with me, and sitting next to me is someone who has gone on the Disney Internship, just like CU will be. All in all, classes went well for the first day.
I installed AIM for the first time and spent about half an hour talking to Breton. I need to find someone on this floor I can go and bug, though it still seems real empty. My door is wide open right now and there is no sound except for the tippity tak of my keys. Boy is it boring here. And the heater is still not working well.

W00t! I have lost even more weight. Yippe! This makes it 40 lbs since fall quarter freshman year. Yay! I've gone down two pant sizes since then, from a 24 to a 20. Again Yay!

Well, it's been a while since I've updated. I will post something about Christmas later. Right now things are balancing out, with slight favor to the bad side at the moment. Anjana will not be returning to ONU this next quarter or ever again. That is a very sad thing. I will miss her, and I am worried about her and how she will do. She better keep in touch. I don't want to have to get the FBI on her case. CU has only two weeks left here also. Spring quarter she is going to Disney for an internship until the end of summer. This means that I will be in the dorm all alone without my best friends. I am getting a little worried about this. I am not a very social person by nature. I don't go looking for people to talk to (often) and am content with sitting in front of my computer for hours surfing the net. CU is trying to make sure I won't stay in the room all the time. She has ordered her boyfriend to get me out while she is gone. It would not be so bad if Anjana was going to be here, but she isn't. Oh well, I'll learn to deal with it. I think everything will be fine, but that may just be the optimist in me, or maybe I'm repressing my emotions again. Or a combo of both. Well, more emotional stuff later.

Well, two weeks of new classes have passed. I have decided some things. I really like Accounting 1. The professor is really nice, and the things are interesting. PC Apps is going to be pretty easy. I know the basics of office programs. That is one class I'm not worried about. I have decided that my microeconomics professor is a pompous ass. He is full of himself, and thinks we know nothing about economics. We don't, but he doesn't have to remind us in a nasty way every class. Well, one bad class and professor isn't bad. I've met some new people, but not many, and mostly through Autumn. Not many, actually one or two, people in my classes talk to me. It's getting depressing. I am very shy by nature, so people have to strike up a conversation. Most people I meet say that I do look intimidating. I don't know if it's my height, build or something else. Even Anjana's brother told her that he was a little intimidated by me, and he's taller. He switched from being scared of me to being scared of CU by the end of that weekend, though. People who get to know me learn that I am not at all like I look. I am nice, soft spoken, and polite. Well, better get to bed, or I won't be able to function tomorrow.

Well, my day was certainly eventful. We got up to my Granfathers' house for a belated Thanksgiving dinner (was canceled yesterday due to bad weather). We stuffed ourselves and opened birthday presents. I got misc. DVD's and CD's. Then we started for home. Dad drove half of the way home, up until Mount Morris. Then it was my turn to drive. I was doing real well until just after the BIG hill after Shortrack. I was going too fast downhill,and I tried to stop. Well, it didn't work out that way. I ended up skidding off the road, over a ditch, onto a field and back into said ditch, about 8 feet from a telephone pole. Everyone was fine. Well, except the car and the turkey. It was a deep, deep ditch. The car was at about a 45 degree angle, which made for an uncomfortable hour and a half. Thankfully we have AAA, so we called them and got a tow truck to come to us. I did realize that country folk are really nice. We had about 20 people stop and see if we were ok. A couple said that there had been another accident just up the road 2 hours before us. We finally got pulled out, not without me thinking that we were going to fall over on our side. The front of the car is not looking too hot right now. The car is still running and working fine. My first ever accident was like Paris Hilton, big and flashy, but with little substance. WE'll see what the car looks like tomorrow in the daylight.
