According to Stephen, “Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people… The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good.”

YES!  America, you finally do something right!

Congratulations President Elect Barack Obama!

Also: THANK YOU MY FRIENDS

We have a new kitty!  Her name is Alaska (that's what the shelter called her, anyway).  She's not the one we originally were going to get, but Snowie (the one I found online) ended up already being spoken for.  Alaska is also all white and the same age so we decided it was the universe saying we should get her.  This took about an hour, though, and good god I never want to go into a shelter again.

It helped that this one is no-kill though.  They don't advertise it, but I asked how long they keep the animals and the guy said forever.  They have a bunch of dogs too, which is sad.  Especially since a bunch are badly trained pit bulls :(  

But, we have the kitty and she is adorable.  Pics will be forthcoming.  She hadn't been tested for Leukemia, but she was an indoor cat and the owners gave her up cause they were moving, so as long as she didn't get it in the shelter she should be fine.  I'm going to have her checked out, anyway, just to make sure.

She's a bit of a spaz, and Simba doesn't quite know what to make of her yet.  He keeps hissing but hasn't tried to hit her or anything.  I think he's just confused and a little scared.  She's incredibly playful and was just a second ago was meowing at me because I wasn't chasing her under the bed.

She's also eerily similar to Stitch.  She bats at the water in the bowl, has a tiny head with big ears and big eyes, jumps at things that don't exist, and moved the water bowl around.  If she starts carrying socks around I'm going to start thinking Stitch is possessing her.

Anyway, I know no one cares about this but me, hah, but I was excited :)  I will get cute pictures soon and spam them around.

First the teacher that played Survivor with a five year old, then the 17 pregnant girls, now this.  WHAT THE HELL AMERICA, WHAT THE HELL?!

It's a live feed of a lioness and her cubs and I've been watching it for two days.  They mostly sleep but whenever they wake up it's awesome.  They babies are so little that they're still wicked clumsy and you can almost see the mother rolling her eyes.  They fill me with happiness and calm.

Did anyone think I would actually hold off longer than this?  My  narcissistic impulses will not be ignored!  I haven't downloaded any posting clients yet and I don't have any userpics, so at least I haven't completely fallen back.

There's a huge pile of clean clothes on my bed waiting to be folded and put away.  I was also supposed to work out earlier.  But I am so tired.  I have not stopped since I don't remember when.  Finally, today at 5 I had room to breathe.  I plopped down on the couch and haven't moved.  I barely remember the last couple of hours except for an overwhelming joy at not having to move.  I want to go to sleep, but even I can't justify a bedtime of 7. 

I feel giddy and lightheaded, I think I've finally reached that point of overtiredness where everything is funny.  Except for the headache, the headache sucks.  Other than that, though... 

I handed in my nonfiction essay in all it's shallow glory and actually sent out my resume to a few places for internships (huzzah internship fair).  I feel accomplished!  And slightly sickly. 

My goal tonight is to do as many unproductive things as possible.  And, go!

Wow, LJ's gotten all fancy since I deleted my last journal.  Anyway, this is just a journal so I can do LJ-y things like read my friend's journals and waste time in communities.  Someday there might be actual entries, we shall see.
