victory is mine!

This just in: Stephen Colbert wins at life. That is so freaking awesome, holy crap.

Today went well; nothing blew up or tried to eat my face, and even though there was a minor incident when I couldn't figure out what building I should be going into and ended up going into ALL of them to find the registration room, I am now the proud owner of a full schedule and a shiny new ID card on which I look like a very cheerful serial killer. \o/ - woooooo! It actually turned out that I was over-prepared. I made the girl who was supposed to be 'advising' me and putting my classes into the system cry because I had the course codes and everything scheduled out before I got to her.

Girl: I'm...I'm so overwhelmed! This is the best thing that's ever happened to me! Thank you! Thank you so, so much! You've restored my faith in humanity!
Mel: Uh. Can I go now?
Girl: HAVE THE BEST DAY EVER, O-M-G!

In honor of this whole shebang being over and done with, some fun musics!

Neko Case - Furnace Room Lullaby
Slight celtic/folk vibe of awesome

John Mayer - Dirty Pop
I think some of you will get a definite kick outta this. Oh, snicker.

Jamiroquai - Just Dance
Because Anne was watching Center Stage before and said zomgreddancenumber which made me squeakle. Loovvee.

Dirty Dancing Soundtrack - Lover Boy
BAAAABBYYYYYYYYY, ohhhh BABBY, you're the one!

Curve - Chinese Burn
Still the best Buffy&Faith scene evar. Rawr!

Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music White Boy
It had to happen, man. I mean...come on, you had to know it would come up sooner or later.

Tattle Tale - Glass Vase Cello Case
Possibly the best song to come out of But I'm a Cheerleader. Mmm.

Rufus Wainwright - Instant Pleasure
I think everyone can relate to this song in a very deep, meaningful way. Just give me sex wheeeenever I want ittt!

So. It's late August, coming on September and thusly fall. How're you all doing? What are you gonna be for HALLOWEEN? I'm thinking of trying for something edgy this year, since I was a zombie last time. Do you think I could pull off Corn on the Cob and get people to bite me?

pssst, [livejournal.com profile] purple_sax09: there's a mystical creatures exhibit at the museum of natural history! dragons! unicorns! DINOSAUR IMAX FILM FOR ONE DOLLAR! it's on until jan. 6 - think you can make it down some time?

OMGGGGGG STEPHEN COLBERT FTW. :D :D :D

You know, I would love to go to the USA for Halloween one year. Here, it's PATHETIC. Like, no one observes it at all and it's just an excuse for some shops to produce crappy-ass costumes and shit. NO FUN. D: I have never been trick-or-treating in my life! *moans and whines pitifully*

[identity profile] unamaga.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
OMG, never? *wobbly lip* Oh, honey, I'm so sorry! Life isn't really life without crappy Halloween candy that you can hoarde all the way until Christmas. Do you guys even have candy corns?

[identity profile] annella.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
*sniffles pathetically* I ... I don't even know what that IS. D: D: D:

Image (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candy_corn)

Candy Corn is, like, the essential Halloween candy. When I was little, my elementary school teachers used to give them out in little baggies - EVEN THOUGH they made us all insanely hyper - because they are just That Important.

Mebe this year I try to send you some?

[identity profile] annella.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
OMG THAT IS SUCH CUTE CANDY! :D

I would totally not object if you did decide to send me candy corn. :D

Stephen Colbert is so full of awesome!

I always had my schedules done and ready to go, too. I was determined to make sure I got exactly what I wanted when I wanted it. My adviser was never as thankful as yours. *pouts*

Halloween! I'm so excited about it. It's the best holiday all year. Is it to early to start breaking out my Halloween icons? I have no idea what I'm going to be, but your idea of Corn on the Cob sounds very amusing.

[identity profile] unamaga.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
Corn on the Cob is just about the perfect costume, I've come to realize. (1) Butter slathered on all my plump, juicy kernals, (2) nibbling of said plump, juicy kernals, (3) spraying all those in the vicinity with loving corn juice when bitten the right way, (4) PHALLIC SHAPED.

I mean, really, it doesn't get better.

:0D Yay well done you!!

I'm mostly figuring out ways to make my life more interesting. My friends and I are planning a mass exodus to New York while flights are cheap. That's as far as it's got so far, but I might mosey along to Brighton next week too. Hmmm. !!

For Halloween I'm going to be Someone Who Slams The Door (Kindly) In Kids' Faces.

We don't really do halloween down this way, and those that do get treated with slammed doors, bless 'em...

[identity profile] unamaga.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
EEE, you're coming to New York! That's AWESOME! Iffin you need guidance, ping me or somethin'. *bounces*

[identity profile] polyspaston.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
:0D Ping you I most certainly shall!

We're thinking either October or Feb, probably Feb now because of more time to save up ;0) Found flights for 200 quid though, return, how good is that??!!! It costs you more money to go to Paris on the Eurostar than it does to get to New York; this I find bizzare...

Honey, I am SO glad that it worked out. You know, the whole being a student thing! *excited*

And man I second [livejournal.com profile] annella! There is no Halloween here either. Although the past two years people here have used it for commercial shit and such and there's stuff to buy around Halloween, but yeah, I've never been Trick or Treating before either. My life is sad and boring. *sigh*

Are there pictures of Zombie you?

[identity profile] unamaga.livejournal.com 2007-08-26 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
What is the deal, other countries? Get with the Halloween program. It is a time of peace and goodwill and also tiny little pumpkin-children who run around yelling MOMMA MOMMA I GOTS A CANDY BARS AN' IT'S ORANGE!

There are, unfortunately, no pictures of Zombie!me that I know of. I was very much not out for most of it, because MY SHIRT WAS RIPPED AND DRIPPING WITH BLOOOOODDDD. It was all very dramatic. I scared my friend Lauren when I tried to eat her brains. Ahhh, memories.

ps, guess what. I MISS YOU.

Oh my god, were you one of those tiny little pumpkin-children? Actually, I would love to see some pics of you when you were little. I bet you were ADORABLE.

Ahahahah BRAAAAAAINS! I sure would love some Halloween. Maybe I'll come visit you for it one day in the distant future, who knows ;)

And god, I miss you too. Someone must really hate us for I am online right now and you are not. I thought it was your day off Wednesdays? But well, you're probably chilling outside or learning stuff or sleeping or meeting with all the new awesome people you most definitely met.

I miss you too and I'm thinking of you! (And every time I think, man, I really miss Mel, my brain does this weird thing where I hear Carson from "Letters from Pegasus" say about his mother "I miss her terribly." And that makes me smile again.)

*snickers* I do a horrible faux-Scottish accent, but when I get home, I'll try and record me saying that for you. I MISS YOU TERRIBLY, JULES. And, also, there is nothing in the world that you can give me that will make me show you pictures of mini-me. I am honestly one of the least photogenic people in the world. Even as a kid. Horrifying.

My day off is actually Friday. I have late class on Tuesday, so I'm around until about 1; Wednesdays I go in at 11:30ish; Mondays at Thursdays at 9ish. But, yeah, I have this Friday off so I'll be able to talk to you then if you'll be around! And Monday is Labor Day, so the whole school has off! I WILL SEE YOU SOME TIME THIS WEEKEND OR I AM GOING TO BAWL. D:

nyahh! mystical creatures! MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY.

Omg. We simply must go. I'm not sure when, exactly, because we're both going back to school... (I move in tomorrow). But yes. Perhaps over Xmas break? I can drive out there and we will have the usual good-times. :D

So anyway. We need to catch up! When is good to call? I bought some Blast O' Butter today and thought of you. *muah*

[identity profile] unamaga.livejournal.com 2007-08-26 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
Mebe tomorrow night after your move in if you have time we might do the talking thing with the phone? I'm gonna be a bit busy on Monday, otherwise I'd say WOO TRADITION. You can tell me all about your room and all the doom you will no-doubt produce and whether or not you have iced tea.

Oh, oh, I told you that I heard back from the popcorn company, right? They sent us coupons; what is that? Jeeze. Some people just can't take a joke.

Nice, Stephen Colbert, nice.

Taking John and Rufus, thanks!

He is truly a thing of wonder. Yes.

Mel, if you dressed as a corn on the cob, i would totally bite you! lol. I don't know what I'm gonna be. I'm throwing a toga party in September, so that rules out the whole "goddess" thing. I need something awesome this year. *heads to the drawing board*

Oo! And thanks for the music! =D

(amusingly enough, regina spektor just came on my ipod when i saw your comment.)

You know what you should be, Oh Dani My Dani? You should be a tall, cool glass of lemonade. WE WILL BE THE PERFECT SUMMER FUN SNACK, EVERYONE WILL WANT US. \o/
