You penetrate right through me

First thing's first:


I want this. So very, very much. Being a broke as fuck college student does not have its benefits right at this very moment.


Secondly, I haven't written in here in awhile due to being exceptionally busy reading brainy as hell books. I've taken a decided detour on all things not reading and opted for reading. It's been lovely. I'm currently working through A Brief History of Time (and delighting myself with how much of it I knew already), up next is The Universe in a Nutshell. I'm pleased that reading Hawking is not as challenging as I remember it being the first time I picked up The Universe in a Nutshell. Which, admittedly, I did in an effort to look smart. That fucking backfired, obviously, because I didn't understand it, and I wound up skipping HUGE parts of the book and skimming the rest. It's hilarious and slightly odd that my attempts to try and be cool when I was a teenager were deeply rooted in being perceived as smart. That's still how I roll thirteen years later, however, I don't have to try. I'm both smart AND cool, and now I read the books I say I'm reading or have read, I understand them, and I ENJOY them. Good on me! I also may or may not have rejoiced in finding punctuation errors in A Brief History of Time. While I know that publishers and editors are in charge of picking those up and weeding them out, and occasionally for getting them in there in the first place, I ignored all of that and internally gloated about the one time I had the brain edge on Stephen Hawking. Allen said I was a moron when I explained this to him.


I'll be going out for photos tonight. The Milky Way won't be visible for much longer, and now that I can, I'd like to go out and try to get a decent picture of it. Tomorrow is pancakes from scratch, and then the aquarium (I wisely bought myself a membership to it at the beginning of the year. I get in for free until April of 2015. Bonus!). I always wind up taking the same fucking pictures while I'm there, so I'm going to try and do different things this time.


Stevie is moving back home because she's just been overrun by money problems, so she's giving me her beautiful red couch today. I'm so excited. I'm also excited that I don't have to move anything because of my useless arm. Hooray, valid excuses!


I'll be getting my hair extensions in in a few weeks, which isn't really newsworthy, I'm just trying to catch up on everything that's going on.


My little sister has started her first semester of college at AUM. My mom says she loves it, and I couldn't be more pleased.


The Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack is the best purchase (read: download) I've ever had made for me.


School starts on Monday morning, and my backpack is heavy as fuck. I have the fuzziest pencil/pen case. It looks like a mop dog, but purple. I'm still such a twelve year old girl.


I'll try and update this at the end of the week. I don't have school on Friday, which is a definite bonus, and I can start figuring out a time schedule for myself. This is going to be an incredibly busy semester.
