In 5 words or less, who are you?

    Yep, those are the five words and I shan't go into detail about them at all. Just moving on along. Life has been going on, working long days and then randomly drinking bottles of champagne on my nights off to sleep well and awake slightly queasy. Realizing that most of the television shows I got into a habit of watching are done with, which means more time dedicated to books and movies as I want to see a few. The other day I saw Pans Labyrinth, and I loved it. I think Andrew wants to see Apocolypto and John Rambo, haha. Still, looking forward to some movie viewing fun.
    Bought a new dress yesterday and I absolutely love it.
    Today is orientation at OU and I am nervous, but I get to find out whether or not I want to go for an English degree or what have you and I get to register for classes, which is exciting. Finally got Andrew to agree to go with me, as he will use the time to possibly explore the campus and study his calculus, the class that reaffirms my distrust of math. I am excited about OU in the fall, it is always nice to begin a new chapter in ones life, something about progress I am sure. Nervous, anxious, but generally speaking excited and eager.
    This summer will call for: Angel's wedding, Harry Potter, and well... those are the main events I am looking forward to. June 23rd, wowza for Angel's wedding, another event that I am strangely anxious but mostly eager for. Harry Potter should be self explanatory, book 7 and movie 5, am rereading OoTP followed by HBP. And then rereading The World According to Garp, because I love that book and finally got it back.
      Well.... I am off to do something.

QotD: Take Me Away...

Where do you go to get away from it all?
Submitted by Hops.

I usually end up going to my Dad's or Mom's house, sometimes I will just sit outside and read. I do not really have a place of my own to escape too, often times than not it is just inside my head with the help of books. I really need to find a place of my own, once more... because, it is important to have a place to be completely alone either in reflection or just to be alone.
Decided to reread Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince. It will be nice, Potter books make me happy. Work is going well, life is going well, things are well. I just don't have much to say, so peace.

So, I finished reading The Plague by Albert Camus. I rather enjoyed the novel, it kept me interested and wanting to read it. The end of the book, I rather enjoyed. Much of the dialogue between characters I loved, I'd have to say that my favorite character was Tarrou and followed closely by Dr. Rieux. Really though, I enjoyed the book and am glad that was the first reading for 2007. Yep. I hardly ever do books justice when talking about them, so 'nuff of that.

Today I worked, it was rather chilly and hoodies do not do well against the wind. We had to tie up tarps to protect pots, repot some plants, fill dirt, and tediously cut containers of four into containers of one. Joyous, indeedly. Also heard that Office Max needs help and may apply there because the Greenhouse just isn't supplying enough hours and soon enough our little hours will be cut enough more, until the Spring when it is open for business, joy.

Feeling kinda' headachy. Just started reading Haunted by Chuck Palahiunk, the bit of it was rather graphic and I had nightmares of intestines being pulled from my body, I woke up feeling strange. It promises to be good, I hope. I think after that I'll read Mark Twain, yep... Loads of books to read. Lacking much else to say, so PEACE.

Waking up at noon always makes me feel wrong, but at the same time, it is nice on the occassion. Semester starts on Monday, for once I am not taking a full load, only two classes for me! Estatic. Unfortunately, this is also the first semester I have opted for all morning classes, 8:30 until 12:25 for history, and then Logic is 9:00 to 11:55, joyus. At least I'll be done with them early in the day and can dedicate my day to searching for a new job, working at said job, or even devoting the day to studying.

I am eager to plunge into my book, The Plague by Albert Camus, but I'm reading it slower, usually at bed time. Also slowed down on the playing of FFXII, mostly so I could have some sort of distraction from school when it starts--haha. Always thinking in distractions, I've been easily distracted lately. Maybe not lately, maybe all the time.

Andrew and I had a small, slight misunderstanding last night. I do see where he is coming from but it still bothered me, perhaps hurt me. We had been having fun, asking questions do prompt answers though... but stay in the vein, if it had all been lighthearted, keep it so. I don't know...

Mostly, I'm bored. Boring, too.
