This is totally going to get buried in all the Torchwood freakoutsresponses but whatever.

So the boy is moving to California in August and he's asked me to help him move and we'll both drive and he'll pay for my gas and all the hotels and food and stuff and I'm like HELL YEAH because y'know, I love driving and I wanted to do that driving around the US thing and I could spend like a month out west going through California and maybe visiting kefira and anyone else out there and coming back via a northerly route stopping in Montana and seeing biancathecookie if she wants to put up with me. BUT, butbutbut, my kitty. HOW CAN I BE AWAY FROM HER FOR A MONTH? She'll be like a totally different cat by the time I get back and grauifrgbealfdnha I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE HER. I don't know what to do, I really want to do this and I already told him I'd drive out with him and that'll be fun but should I skip the driving around out west for awhile and just come home? I just don't know, I really don't. I wish I could just take her with me but that sooooooo wouldn't work. A MONTH is such a long time.

How did I get so dependent on a cat? And do I trust my sister to keep my kitty safe from my mother the animal hater for a month? Teleporting, it needs to be invented. Now.

PS: Those of you not already there should totally join whedonland. Lots of fun and Joss fans to be had over there. I'm on Team Angel =D

I did something silly today and slept through my biology class because I figured oh I'll take a quick nap and then got up around the time it ended. ANYWAY we were supposed to watch the movie Seeds of Deception in class today and like with every other movie we watch we'll have a review of it due on Monday so I need to find a way to watch this movie but I can't find it online because I FAIL. I need a torrent or an upload or streaming or...idk ANYTHING.

Can anyone help? Please? Pretty please? I'll I'll I'll write you fic! Anything you want! I'll learn a fandom just to write you fic in it. It's on Netflix so I'll order it from there as a last result since I was planning on getting an account when I moved back home and got my new computer so getting it a bit early isn't a big deal but I'd rather just watch online.

Thanks!

Who else is completely and totally on the edge of their seats about the Roddick-Federer match? My god I can't focus on anything else and I swear if someone comes into the lab and makes me miss the end I will freak the fuck out. COME ON RODDICK! KEEP IT TOGETHER!

ETA: Aww poor Roddick, he gave it a hell of a fight though. Totally amazing match.

Not that it's all that exciting of a holiday since the only good thing is the fireworks which got postponed to tomorrow anyway because of the rain. Have I mentioned how much I adore fireworks lately? Like really, they are some of my favourite things ever, I can watch for hours.

ANYWAY have some kitty pics!

Green Eyes of Doom! That's almost worse than the demon!red eyes humans get. That's her favourite stuffed animal of mine, got it...2? years ago at the chat meetup in Ohio. She walks around the apartment with it in her mouth and is very possessive of it.


Miss Blair wants to be Spiderman! When the coldfront came in and it got cool enough to turn off the aircon and open the balcony door she discovered a new place to play.

Well Lizzy and I made it despite all the issues with Norman from the check engine light never going off to the fucking blown tire that made me decide the trip was cursed.

But we're here! And I'm 22 now! And we're getting cupcakes to celebrate and lobster rolls apparently.

For my birthday I ask that you go and vote for Mali here so that Miss Sashi (shadowkitten87) can get her face on the side of a milkshake truck! And get free milkshakes all summer!

OH and check out my new icon that bergann made. You're awesome if you get the reference.

My check engine light came on sometime over the weekend because clearly the world HATES me. Dropped it off at the mechanics today (after putting like another 500 miles on it with the light on. Drove to and from Rock Island with pyralisha on Monday and then drove home via Chicago yesterday) and they called saying some heat/oxygen/whatever sensor had failed (ETA: Heated O2 sensor and they can't get the part in until Tuesday. Dad is calling around seeing if somewhere else has it and I'll check down in Champaign. pyralisha do you know a mechanic down there I can call?) and it's going to cost like $150 for the new part plus I have to pay labor. Fuck all, this couldn't have happened AFTER my roadtrip which is in one week? I'm hoping maybe my dad will pay for this to be fixed as my birthday present since my mom doesn't know about the trip and so doesn't know about the need to get it fixed quickly.

ANYWAY, so on Monday pyralisha had a bunch of random awesome</strike> terrible 90s music that we played in the car on the drive and when M2M and B*Witched were playing the idea came about that I should make the ULTIMATE 90s DISNEY MIX with like those two and S Club 7 and Steps and all those other terrible bands that played on Radio Disney/Disney Channel during the 90s BUT I NEED RECS because my memory is bad for pulling things out of thin air and more for going OH MAN I REMEMBER THIS SONG. So yes, help me children of the 90s.

Another thing we listened to was the Doctor Horrible soundtrack and she had the fancy official version rather than the ripped one which I've never bothered to replace and I have to say I liked the ripped one better. I LIKE the random bits of dialogue and the sounds in the background. It's just weird without them.

God Rockford is so boring, what am I going to do for two more day here?

This meme seems to be making the rounds again and I didn't do it last time, so here it is.

The problem with livejournal is that we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. Hence, I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

Star Trek: Saw it Friday with pyralisha and her boy. LOVED IT. Oh man like other than the seizure inducing scenes toward the end I totally adored it and I've never been a Star Trek fan (seen maybe 3 of the movies and bits of episodes but don't know much about it) but I'm so going to see it again. Chris Pine was hot and awesome and Quinto's face made me laugh and I'm so seeing it again. I really want to drive to Indianapolis tomorrow and go see it in Imax but I don't know. I would so go if someone came with me, but going alone is a little silly.

School: Almost over! Two more finals, one Tues night and the other Wed afternoon. Planning on drinking right after that and staying drunk for quite some time. I have no idea if I'm going to be able to walk in commencement because I haven't heard anything back from them. I turned in my thing saying I was in time, but haven't gotten a reply about picking up tickets or anything. Should probably see about that soon...My dad has said that he'll still come down even if I'm not walking since his wife's mom and brother will be in town and he wants to get away from the house. I don't even know how to tell my mom although if I don't walk next week I will in the December ceremony to make her happy. Or tell her I'm definitely going for a Master's (which I am, just not for a few years and I'm not sure what in) and will walk then.

Baking: I made pretzels last night! Used this recipe which I totally should have halved but I wanted to see how they froze too. Mistake since I ran out of flour and had to do the last cup with whole wheat instead of all purpose. Oh well they're still tasty. I think I'm going to make this tonight. It looks too tasty to pass up. Unrelated but I also managed to start a fire in my toaster oven today. Whoops.

TeeVee: Still horribly behind, I don't think I've seen a new ep of anything since I started reading Mag7 fic since I do that at work now when normally I'd catch up. I need to catch up on NCIS, HIMYM, BBT, GG, and start in on IPS. Anything else I'm missing?

Shopping: I picked up this dress yesterday in green. I adore it but it looks kinda like I'm wearing a sack until I pin bunch it together and pin it (which I'm almost positive is what the model did in that pic), anyone know how to make it so a safety pin isn't visible?

Computer: I hate this thing. Let me complain. 1)It doesn't acknowledge that iTunes exists so I can't change out anything on my ipod. I'm getting a little sick of the movies/tv/songs that are on there now. 2)It doesn't acknowledge that MSN exists and I don't really like to use meebo unless I'm at work and so there are some people I never get to talk to anymore because they don't really use AIM. 3)It shuts off randomly. At least once a day. 4)The jack for the adapter is loose so it's always a battle to keep it charged. 5)I still don't get any sound in Firefox. 6)I can't get to 's' key to work unless I push very hard. My finger is starting to hurt from that. I really can't wait to get a new one.

Add me on Dreamwidth or comment with your name.

I'm going to go pack and clean out my car and do the dishes now. Be back on Sunday! Hopefully I won't get bitten by a snake.

*smooch*

Went on a hike for my ornithology class this morning. It was pretty awesome actually. A scarlet tanager hung out by us for awhile and we were mistnetting and I got to hold a robin with a mangled foot, a blue-grey gnatcatcher, and a whitebreasted nuthatch. However there were a few issues...

First: didn't wake up until 6:34 instead of 5:40 like I was supposed. We needed to be there at 6:50. I'd hope to shower and eat first but instead ended up grabbing the first pair of pants I saw and throwing a button up shirt over the tanktop I slept in and leaving. My hair is disgusting and I'm horribly hungry right now.

Second: I'm a klutz. There's lots of mud on my pants and shoes.

Third: My pants split down the side when I went under a low hanging branch that was across the trail. Oh god so mortifying AND these are one of my favourote pairs of pants (ok capris). PLUS my button up shirt is only 3/4 sleeve so tying it around my waist to hide the tear was kinda annoying. AND like I said I just tossed it over the tank top I wore to sleep. No bra and it's pretty low cut so every time I had to bend my boobs threatened to pop out. Just mortifying.
