I think this is about the time in the semester where I promise to update more frequently and you all make menacing eyes at me because we all know it's a damn dirty lie. lol

Well I'm not promising that anymore. Mainly because my semester is so hellish and I'm going to start having to work hard so that I can be sure I'm graduating on time.

You can still give me dirty looks though, lol.

Other than that, life's been an estranged concoction of school, work, spore (yea thats right), remembering to eat more than once a day, studying, and asking Michael a million bajillion (yes that is a quantifiable number...I promise...lol) questions about everything.
His fault, he's in my major and about as insane as I.
Some body has to be in charge of keeping me sane, and my bff can't because our majors are opposing ends of the spectrum and we're too busy...ugh


but upon occasion, this much into the semester, you may catch a glimpse of the illusive Bio major...and when you do, it looks like this....

there are a ton more of that night, but it only gets nerdier and more complicated from there.
Just a note though, DO NOT drink sweet wine after sake...no bueno...

and who...off to go study for Molecular Biology of the Gene...eww
*cries*



I think we should have little zombie icons so I can spam my journal with them...




and might I just say...holy shit Spore! ! ! ! (so damn addicting)

I promised pictures...mainly because tyna would be depressed in my general direction...
so goofyness....because I wasn't very sexy that night



other than that, life is school school school work chillin with my friends when I can school

blegh

I need a vacation...badly...

Sexy lab coats FTW!!!

not those fake halloween labcoats either...like ACTUAL labcoats, that look sexy if you buy them a size too small...

*grins*

pictures later

Soooooo....
big news...
More of the blond in my hair is GONE.
And soon, I might be completely brunette!!!!

it's scary

okay, I'm done being goofy, but yea, that's my latest hair, and who knows where it's going from there.
Although this weekend may be considerably more boring than last weekend.

So my trip to the doc was successful. He told me had I waited until today to come in that I would have been hospitalized immediately, fun right?

I'm officially back in Greenville. My roomie just got back today and we've already made the place a complete and wonderful mess.

Just a random note, seriously, how awkward is it that all of my friends have significant others of come form, and are all spending time with them, but um, I don't. So here I am all by my little lonesome while they do couple type things.
I kinda miss couple type things...or at least the mental comfort that I am not an abnormality and am capable of having human companionship.

It's not too bad though. I mean at the end of the school year I may be moving 800 miles away to Florida for a job, no point in getting a boyfriend here just to up and leave him!

Back to non-relationship nerve wracking things...how the hell does one misplace a pasta pot? I dunno, but my roomie and I have accomplished such a thing. No idea how...we just can't find it.


Other than that, class starts Wednesday, I'm excited and scared. This is my last year. I will graduate and have to become a part of the real world...which scares the fuck out of me.
But at the same time, I can't wait.
I've never made a huge life altering leap in my life...and now I will. I want a job 800 miles away to slap me into a place I don't know, where I know maybe 3 people, and have to do it all on my own.
Scary as that seems, I long for it, and I can't wait to just do something drastic.

Speaking of drastic...my hair is dark again, and I might be getting rid of the blond...
All one color hair...I haven't had that since I was in the 9th grade. O_o


I was going to say something else but my cats have managed to make something in the kitchen crash so I have to go make sure the kitchen isn't in flames...lol

I'm allergic to very few things. Very few. On that short list are Peppermint and Spiders...maybe peaches but we think that was just a childhood allergy and I've out grown it.

However, regardless, Peppermint and Spiders.

Peppermint makes me sneeze and throw up (rough combo right there let me tell you) and Spider bites swell to epic proportions and cause any other injury on my body to swell.

Last night I was bitten and didn't see what did it save for the sharp pain in my toe.
I woke today to the toe and the two toes next to it swollen.
I took Benadryl and went to work all loopy and psycho, which was actually pretty fun, but the swelling seems to have come back...so tomorrow may mean a Hospital trip, or calling out of work and hitting the Boice Willis Family Care Emergency Center thingy...who knows....

Spiders...effin spiders.

I think if there were Peppermint Spiders in the world I would just die...

no lie.

I also want to get a spider with peppermint color tattooed to me...just for hilarity's sake

cause, like, thats how I am.




anywho, off to bed to try to keep from letting my foot swell anymore

I'm staying the night in my new apartment for the first time ever.
My best friend Sami and I sat and watched Asian Horror flicks all night...because it's what we do.
We were kinda freaked out.
Did I mention that I'm staying alone this first night? lol
Sami lives next to me pretty much, and she had her doggie over and had to go to her apartment to take him home and my roomie isn't back from Flatrock yet...so here I am...
All asian horrored out and alone...lol

I do have my kitties though, and I love horror flicks, so I'm cools. I don't scare easily anymore, lol.

But I am excited to be in my apartment now.
Although I get to drive home to Mom and Dads after work tomorrow as family is coming in town to visit...go figure.


Ugh, I am exhausted, I think perchance it be the bed times for me.

enjoy my ass as it walks away, lol (my mom took this picture...I love my family)

Ok, so in the past few weeks, I have
*moved into my apartment
*stayed home for a week because I had no AC
*rode the motorcycles tons with my parents
*finally got my AC fixed
*moved my kitties to the apartment
*waited FOREVER in financial aid only to be told that my papers hadn't been processed, and by time I get the money now, classes will already have been dropped for all those students who haven't payed (Goodie Goodie)
*gone out on a crappy date
*looked up tens of thousands of Lady Death pictures to use for my next tattoo
*been frustrated more times than is healthy for any ten given college kids

Seriously...I am so over this college thing. Good thing it's my senior year right?
And who knows, maybe I'll move to Florida, Ohio, Virginia, or to Boston...I like Boston.


Who knows where I will be by this time next year?

Somewhere interesting I can only hope.


Also...I hate my so called love life. I have so many conflicting thoughts right now that I almost hate my being a girl.
Mainly, I just don't like the situations I've been abruptly forced into by other peoples actions. Some people are utterly callous and unconcerned for the well being of others.
I have hope, it is my senior year, I could meet someone fascinating, But I kinda hate that idea but I plan on moving once I graduate, and while I could see having a long distance relationship and moving closer to the guy, I can not justify getting in a relationship and then moving away.
Makes me feel like a jerk for just thinking about it.

So my love life is pretty much on hold. *shrugs*
Go figure.

Other than that though, I mean with the apartment, and financial aid thing pretty much settled, I am much more relaxed. Lets hope it stays that way until classes start.

August 20th calls me to once again answer to my longing to academia.
I'm glad to go back to class though.
I kinda can't wait.
Is that lame?
I mean we do know that I am a nerd...

Although, with my new apartment, comes new opportunities for sets, so yay me, I can't wait to get started on the bazillion ideas my roomie and I have for sets (I may try to talk her into doing it, I doubt she will, but I know she'd love it, we pose together all the time anyway)
But yea...Despite the metric shit ton of ick that came my way...I must say...I'm looking forward to Senior Year.

Didn't see that coming when you started reading this entry did ya? lol

So I promised details about my Florida trip...but for cereal you guys, I'm too lazy to fight with the internet at my parent's house to upload everything. So all of the pics will have to wait for about two weeks, once I get moved in to my apartment back in Greenville (yay for classes starting in less than a month!!) then I will have internet that is much more conducive to uploading epics amounts of digital stalking.

Suffice to say, I had a wonderful time with my nerdy friend, he never fails to entertain. No really, he doesn't. Late night random band practices, Hancock, black and white film porn, 2 girls 1 cup, a car wreck (into a bus), sexy time, and some awesome people. That was what Florida equated to.

One of those awesome people being Tyna. She shot my set for me, and she pretty much rules. For reals yo.

Not to mention adorable. We did our own little shoot together, possibly because the entirety of my trip had an overwhelming Dresden Dolls tang to it. Seeing as we are in love with Amanda Palmer, we got all punk cabaret and silly.

Please don't ask me for any of the pictures from either my set, or the one we did together. She has those, and she's gonna photoshop us pretty and whatnot, but she's a busy college girl just like me, so things will go up as they get done. However, if we feel frisky and some shots are ready, we may share *evil grin*

Also...if you have no idea who The Dresden Dolls are, go beat yourself and then go listen to them.
All I have listened to this summer is:
Mindless Self Indulgence (the new album "If" is FANtastic)
The Dresden Dolls
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Gogol Bordello (I blame the movie "Wristcutters" for that)


Anywho, I was a cam whore in Florida:

As for current life...I still work at Hot Topic, but the manager has gone bat shit crazy, so if I find a supplement to my income, I'm so gone.
I move into my apartment August 1st, yay!!!
Classes start August 20, and I can't wait (don't patronize me, I'm a nerd)
I'm obsessed with Dark Knight...seriously, that movie was so fantastic. And to bring it around even better, Nicolelee did the most AMAZING Joker tribute set. Seriously, I wanted to do one, but she did it so well I fell I would shame the name to try to follow up what she did. It's amazing, and if you haven't seen it, What the FUCK is wrong with you? OMG it's great.


I'm enjoying this new system for set acceptance. I feel like more creative and oddly gorgeous sets are getting accepted. It's also a great feeling to know you helped a girl out with something she worked hard on.
I'll probably shoot a new set soon, and once I do, and I post it, I will surely tell you guys so that you can leave fantastical comments on it for me, because you guys are great.

And I SWEAR I WILL get to an SGNC party soon! Even if I have to clear out an entire weekend, and make up and excuse to have a party, I WILL!!!! And you know I'm serious because I used Uppercase.


time to read myself to sleep now.
I keep forgetting to get a hold of people, so if you need something from me, just email me at voldenae@hotmail.com, and just make the subject line something about you or sg so I dont ignore it.
Once I get moved in, I really am going to be more social, promises!!!

I'm officially back from Florida. It's nice to be home, but it's rather bittersweet because I left some awesome people behind in Florida.

I however, shoot a set, not the one I was promising to shoot soon, but this one came spur of the moment when Tyna and I kinda got idea happy and excited.
Just a fun fact, I've only known her a little over a week at this point, lol.
But we got naked and entertained the boys from the pther side of a curtain, so it's all good.

Coming back to NC was rough, my ex went to the wrong air port to get me, my mom gave me terrible news about one of my cats after whenpicked me up, and I officially hate my job because the manager has flipped his shit.

It's a little over a month before classes start again. I'm kinda glad because I miss class...yea, I'm an effin nerd. But also, it's me senior year. My goal? To have a job lined up by time I graduate. Which fun enough, my best friend's dad's girlfriend (yea a mouth full) told me of a place some where there that could be a wonderful oppurtunity for me.
It's exciting, and upsetting because if I do it, I'll be pretty far from the parentals, but I've always been a little too independent and head strong fro my own good, so I think maybe the move and change of scenery could be good for me.

Once I get back to my parent's, and my laptop, I'll upload some pics from the trip, sorry, I am not actually in any of them, but you can see what I will now affectionately call my Florida crew. Mainly because all I did down there was hang out with them, and I am so ok with that.


Updates come soons, I promises!!!!!
