January 21st now? Well fuck. I hope I can make it that long.

Dude, Barnes & Noble, what the hell? Offer free wi-fi but no outlets?

I cannot wait until next year when we work all digital. Film is way too fucking expensive.

Also SEPTA needs to stop being on strike now. I need to do some printing today!

I have a pineapple. Her name is Trudy.

So, NPH on Batman: the Brave and the Bold is epic on so many levels. Just saw it on TV for the fist time this morning, and it was even better then it was on Youtube.

I usually forum RP, with the occasional chat RP as well. But I am branching out! A recent forum RP has spawned one of my favorite characters yet, and I have created a journal for her: mystfreeford. I'll probably only use her for posting in dear_multiverse, but if I can convince any of the others in the RP to create their own character journals...

I am also learning how to play D&D. (3.5 to be exact.) Learning via chat with some of my forum RP buddies, so it's been fun. We just actually started recently, but I'm really liking it. Next on my list of table top systems to learn is Cortex.

My tagging system sucks. I really need to get around to organizing them better.

White Collar is an awesome show. If you haven't already checked it out, look it up. It's fun and very slashy. :)

Well I fucked up pretty good. Think I completely alienated my roommates last night. I really hate myself sometimes.

Well, I did something stupid which caused me to loose all my data on my laptop. Joy.

First week of college thoughts:

My roommates are awesome. They're nice, have good taste in movies and music and what little TV they watch. Also, we carpool which is nice because I can't drive.

The apartment/dorm is pretty nice. There's three room, just enough for everyone. Needed to buy bookshelves for all the books I brought with me, and haven't put them up yet, but still.

No cable yet! D: I missed Leverage this week! And I'm missing Psych right now! At least my dad promised to tape it and Eureka so I can watch it when I go to visit tomorrow.

There's a Blockbuster nearby that has all 4 seasons of BSG, so I can continue watching that. There's also a comic shop close. So I already set up a pull list.

Movie theater nearby; we went and saw 9 last night. It was awesome.

Teachers are cool. Biiiiig bonus. Not one of them is boring. Also, free wifi at school and, for the most part, the apartment.

I miss my parents. And the rest of my family. And our Borders. I can't wait for next week, so I'm going to visit tomorrow.

Only two more days before I move. I hope the three days is enough to get settled before class.

"Fuckin' bastard," John muttered as he left the restaurant. This was the fifth time this month Charlie stood him up. Not for the first time, he wondered what he saw in the other man. He was a cheep, neurotic, self-hating asshole who didn't really give a shit about anyone. Including John, it seemed.

Not for the first time, John considered dumping the other man. But an image of Charlie, his dirty blond hair sticking out everywhere and his eyes still slightly clouded from sleep, rose to his mind. And again, John remembered that night, two years ago, when he had pretended to sleep and Charlie had poured out his heart. And that was why John would stay. Because even with all this Goddamn fucking around, he knew Charlie cared.

John called Charlie who gave him the location of his latest hangout, another bar. This one was a bit nicer then some of the others; it opened onto the main street instead of a dank alleyway. And inside, it was surprisingly pleasant. There was a warm atmosphere, and the people inhabiting it seemed to be there because they wanted to, not because they didn't have anywhere else to be. The bartender was smiling as he served his patrons, and even conversed with some of them.

John scanned the room for his (boyfriend? lover?) whatever Charlie was to him. His eyes traveled over couples cozying in booths, groups of friends laughing about something, and a couple of men trying their luck with some bored looking women. John scowled when he realized that Charlie was not among them, naturally. Well, he did text directions to a bar named MacLaren's, so he was most likely here earlier. Maybe the bartender would know.

"Hey, you seen a guy, 'bout 5'11" an' kinda chubby, with blond hair an' brown eyes?"

"Yeah, he was here earlier. Think he went to the bathroom or something," the bartender answered.

John thanked him. Ordering a beer, he stayed at the bar and kept his eye on the restroom door while he worked out what he should say.

Holy crap why have I not watched this show sooner?

Guess who got a new laptop?

I named her Starbuck. The free iPod touch is Boomer. Because thanks to a certain someone, I have a new favorite show and I'm currently working through the first season thanks to Blockbuster. And I need the complete series yesterday.

Would vampires make good astronauts?

I swear these McCafe commercials are going to be the cause of my killing spree.

I am thinking of using an RP journal I made for a crack!RP in one of those multifandom RPs. I am also thinking I might need some sleep.

(I'm sorry if this offends anyone. I would like to say that I neither like nor dislike the books. I found the first one okay, but not my cup of tea. So I didn't read the rest, figuring I would feel the same.)

Twilight. Why does that word seem to make normally sane people into rather irrational people? I'm not talking about any one group, this applies to both those that love the books and those who don't. Can we please stop talking about them? Let's move on to something else. I'm just sick of the ranting and raving from both sides. Seriously. It's just a book series. Some people love them. Some people don't. IT IS ALL A MATTER OF OPINION. WHICH EVER SIDE YOU ARE ON DOES NOT MAKE YOU A BETTER PERSON. SO PLEASE, STOP TRYING TO CONVERT PEOPLE. READ OR DON'T READ. IT. DOES. NOT. MATTER

It is for USA Network's new show, White Collar. And it is a slash comm. If that interests you, her it is: caffrey_stokes
