Must be time for a glee post!

Glee, because I *need* it.


5 Good Things About Today

1. National Coming Out Day! And the Gay & Lesbian society had a Coming Out BBQ on the quad. I felt warm fuzzied because my university had a Queer Barbeque. I ♥ my university. Also warm fuzzied because their poster for it included the signs for two women, two men, and men and women. Thus including all types of sexuality that I can immediately think of. Save asexuality.

2. Mom's birthday!
3. Way shortened Irish lit class, because my professor is cool. Also, an Irishman won the Booker Prize, upsetting the heavy favorite. Yay for that, I suppose. Although his comments were a little harsh towards the British, though. Still. Yay for him for winning.
4. Call from friend last night!
5. All papers done and turned in for the time being.
6. (bonus) Despite missed work, a raise might be in my future! Sweet!

3 Good Things I Did Today

1. Ate bare minimum of calories today
2. Made long walk
3. Made paperclip chain of epic proportions at work because I had nothing else to do. Did the math today. It was 24.52ft long, consisted on 176 large paperclips, and took me approximately fifteen minutes to assemble and fifteen to disassemble.

2 Things I Look Forward to Tomorrow

1. More work on novel
2. Seeing dad and *not* having drama of any kind

I'm on facebook now, for anyone who cares about that. Actually, I'm a little wary of it because EEP! people I knew from high school and Jackson, Tn are on there.

I'm sure they're all great less sadistic, stupid, and utterly shallow people now, but they're reminders of a lousy time in my life.

Also? I just don't want someone coming up to me and reminding me of how utterly embarrassing I was in high school. "Yeah, remember how you were a big fat geek? And remember how much you didn't fit and people thought you were on drugs and you sucked at everything?". Not that I'm still not a big fat geek, but I'm at least starting to be okay with myself. I've worked damn hard to get to "I'm okay, you're okay". Let's not ruin the vibe with past reminders of non-okayness.

I think I'm a different person. I think I'm better. I think I've made a lot of changes, I think I've come a long way and nothing would gall me more than to have someone throw every bad moment from my past in my face.

I really only did it 'cause my sister and a couple of other people said I should.

It makes me ♥ my sister though. Because I was talking to her on the phone the other day and I said, "I'm not gonna have any friends on there" and she said, "It's okay, you can friend me and all my roommates and my boyfriend."

Makes me love her extra. I love my sister for allowing me to borrow her friends so that when Northside people come poking around I don't look like the same pathetic loser I was in high school.

Also: my sister? Prettiest damn person in the world.

When is this novel going to be ready - I have nothing to read

Also; You say your sister is the prettiest damn person in the world, and I take your word for it. But, this being the case could we have some photos so we can enjoy the experience too ;)

If you want to read said novel, it's being posted piece by piece on my other journal: fiction_theory. Feel free to friend it and I'll put you on the f-list so you can read it.

Pics of my sis will float around as soon as I can find one and get near a scanner.
