so long Livejournal! (not really...)  

hand

To be quite honest, I don't know if I'll use this journal for anything else other than keeping up with everyone and communities with the occasional terrible rant of course. I update my Tumblr a ridiculous amount of times throughout the day so if you really care about what's going on in my life, you'll find it there. Unless it has to do with a certain situation/someone which, in that case, will end up here with a nice little friends lock because I know how much y'all love to hear about that. I kid, I kid.

because i'm too lazy to update everything with a cohesive paragraph: ten things  

child's sailor shirt

01. I don't have mono but apparently Erik does? I keep testing negative. It doesn't make sense, but whatever. I feel better.
02. Greek midterm this Thursday. Three passages. Study, study, study. We just finished Plato, now onto Xenophon. Oh yay.
03. NO EIGHT AM CLASSES NEXT SEMESTER!! Earliest classes at 11 and 12 for the first time ever. All under 25 people.
04. Looking forward to Spring 2009 for this reason, but really dreading it because a certain person will be leaving me for Paris.
05. I'm going home this weekend! HSM3 with Karen on Friday and some much needed rest and relaxation with the family. Plus $.
06. Speaking of $$, I need to go shopping. I've been wearing the same things over and over again and it's getting boring.
07. Thrifting and vintage shopping has also been slow. I did find a pretty sweet pleather jacket and wicker chain purse though.
08. I started updating my TUMBLR more. We'll see how long that lasts. I wish I had more follow through with these things.
09. Dodgers lost, oh well. Cal lost this week, too. I think I should stop rooting for teams. We'd better beat UCLA, though argh!
10. It's really hard to get through ten of these but I hate weird numbers. This took me a few hours to put up.

update update update update update  



hi livejournal, i promise i didn't mean to neglect you. i'm finally used to school now. i think i was in denial for the first week or so because i actually ended up really liking this past summer. for the most part, at least. but now school's here and there's nothing i can do about it. i've already had eight quizzes so far, ugh!!

still trying to correct that big whoopsie from last week but i think it's under control. okay no, it hasn't been brought up and i've been very good about not acting as awkward as i usually do so i suppose it's okay.

the other day i overheard two elderly people talking about death. it wasn't even depressing, to be quite honest. my heart skipped a little when i heard the lady point to the sky and say "i can't wait to be up there." i wonder if anyone is really truly ready for that type of thing? i guess some people say they are but who knows.

p.s. it's still me, brilliantbelle! i finally renamed my account, haha. i don't think i'll ever have the heart to purge four years worth of entries but i needed to change something. it's a romanized version of the word for birds in greek which is also my favorite play by aristophanes (Ὄρνιθες).

sometimes i wonder why i'm so content with never stepping out of my house for days at a time. i don't think there's anything wrong with me or at least i hope there isn't. it's a little strange but i guess it's okay if no one gets hurt. this week's record is three days straight. last summer i thought i was going crazy because of that but i suppose things really are different now. i enjoy doing nothing every once in a while.

i've been really awful with updating, haven't i? i'm sorry, i've just been under a lot of stress. i'm still coming up empty with these entries. i feel like i should have more to write about but i kind of don't. maybe later today once i get some sleep. i've been alone a lot but it's been okay.

my new apartment is wonderful! i'd take more pics but it's far from complete. this summer is already shaping up to be as great as i thought it would and things just seem to get better and better. i'll write up a real update once i settle down some more. knowing me, that probably won't happen, hahhh.

elaborate, please  


so we didn't get this amazing apartment that we had been vying for since february and i can't deny that i'm still severely disappointed. not only are we screwed for and pressed for time with regards to housing this summer (now we only have a week or so to find a place) but we're both just completely disillusioned. this landlord has been telling us since february that we were first on his list and would have priority once joyce's friends turned in their sixty day notice and we would finally get the apartment once they referred us. but no, he gave the apartment to three freshmen who came to him much later asking for a place, claiming that he only did it because he already rents to two of their relatives. bullshit, he knows he can charge them more and he can't provide them with another two bedroom place. we need to move out in a week and this is fucking screwing everything up. well, on the other hand, today someone was shot right outside said location. maybe it's a sign?

other things have been going on but i can't be brought to articulate myself. same tiring shit i always write about.

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh  


meh, i feel so sick right now. this persistent cold that i've had for the past month or so is starting to get much worse and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. ARGH! well, there go my plans for tonight. here's to another weekend in my room full of coughs, headaches, wheezing, and lots and lots of tea. i would make this entry longer but i'm incredibly tired and my eyes are getting really watery. time to go back to sleep.

we're going, going and we're gone. going, we're going, going and we're gone.  




i didn't give anything up for lent, but then again, i haven't done that in years so why should this year be different? last year, in an attempt to revive my faith, i tried to go to church every weekend but that didn't work out. i can't force myself to adapt to this faith anymore. i am neither for nor against organized religion or anything but after all these years i need to concede to the fact that it just isn't for me. it just isn't me.

how stupid is it? for all i know you want me to and maybe you just don't know what to do  

as part of my resolution to take more polaroids: green tea, vintage map and glasses, and an untranslated copy of euripides' alcestis dated 1841

i just received an email saying that my spanish class is canceled so now i have two hours to kill before latin. lately things have been alright; nothing eventful has happened and things are, for the most part, the same that they've always been.

i've been on a huge weezer kick lately and i'm starting to realize again why i was so in love with them seven or eight years ago. back then, i listened to pinkerton so many times that the cd became scratched and i grew accustomed to hearing it skip at specific moments in various songs. yesterday while i listened to "across the sea" i even anticipated a skip around 2:15 during the part where he says "i think it would be wrong." when it didn't come up on my ipod it felt strange, haha.

other than that, no, i don't think there is anything worth talking about. i promise this was intended to be longer but i just don't know what to say.

if i ever hurt you it will be in self defense. if you ever come at me i will hurt you.  


it happened again & i'm so happy. it's been really, really nice and i can never find the right words to explain why. it is what it is, i suppose.

first and second days of school  


alright, my second day of classes is finally over so i can write about how i feel about my first impressions about this spring semester. i'll try to keep it short because i should be studying my ass off in the library right now.

religious studies c132 [jewish civilization i: the biblical period]: seems promising. i've taken a hebrew scriptures class before so i'm excited to see what new things i'll learn. like i was telling ricky yesterday, the only drawback is encountering people who will let their beliefs get in the way of biblical scholarship, since we are using the bible as our primary source. i really like my professor's approach which neither refutes the bible as a sacred text nor alienates those coming from a more doubtful standpoint.

latin 1: technically i have this every day from monday to thursday so i had my first class yesterday. at the moment it seems ridiculously easy, in fact, i've already memorized the first and second declensions within a day. i'm also ahead of everyone else because i already have experience with the various cases and know the basics about sentence structure. most of the class is comprised of freshmen taking the class "just for fun" and i think only two other people are taking it as a major requirement.

greek 2: I MISS BORIS. eh, whatever. i guess i'll just have to settle for tim pepper, who happened to be the other TA in the classics that that i first had boris for. tim seems pretty funny, in that dry scholarly sense of the word. uhm. i don't know what else to say. greek is what it is, eh.

spanish 22: really not looking forward to it. i wish i just went ahead and tested out to begin with. waste of time, ugh!

comp lit 50 [creative writing in comparative literature]: i don't know how i feel about this. to begin with, my first impression of some of the people there is that they come off as slightly pretentious and i'm pretty sure they were all freshmen. uhh... and i don't know how i feel about sharing my work with every one there and taking a day out of class to let people discuss my story in my presence. shit, i might drop this.

well, it's time to head over to the library where i guess i will be spending most of this semester. to be honest, i don't really mind.
