I haven't updated in a while, I guess. Despite the fact that Air pestered me for about... 30 minutes the other day about it.

My mother has gone off to Rwanda for two weeks, so it's going to be me and my dad for a while. Which suits me just fine. We're gonna watch some movies together and have some food that we wouldn't have if my mom was here. Just like we always do when she travels. :D It's going to be fun.

I have a therapist appointment tomorrow that I need to not forget. *pokes self* It's in the evening, and before I go to it there are like... 893420938420948 million things that I need to get done. Which include writing a story and finishing the Sarah Lawrence app and sending it out. Because the deadline is Jan. 1. And that's like... 3 days away. *cries*

Um, my little cousins, my dad's brother's kids, are actually kind of cute. The older one is 4, which is about the age I start liking kids at. He's very talkative, and he actually knows my name, despite the fact that I see him maybe once a year. Which is cute. (How did the fact that I am wearing a spiked collar and all black not scare him away from me? Kids are far too trusting these days. I mean, honestly, would you have trusted the scary lady in black with silver nails? Pfft, I wouldn't have. Fuck that. I was a smart kid. No fucking way was I getting kidnapped.)

I downloaded some anime, but my computer is a fucktard and in order to watch it I have to shut down almost every other program so that my computer can run fast enough to keep ip with it. Which does not make Sky a happy kitty, but she will just have to deal with it. (Woah... I switched from first person to third person in one sentence. Good thing I don't do that in my stories, hm?)

Where the flip is Air? Why is she not online? *goes to pester her*

I haven't finished my apps either. I need to do those. Thank you for reminding me. I don't want to sacrifice my Thursday...

I lik ehow you say so casually, "Caw, and my mom ran off to Rwanda for a few days."

I thought you were in Bard? Why do you need to do your other apps?

Bard has Early Action and an Immediate Decision Plan, neither of which are binding contracts...so anyone who gets into Bard via one of those would probably still apply to other schools to see what their overall options are and what schools offer more financial aid and whatnot.

I'm really bored. If you didn't realize.

I'm just sitting here looking at people's LJs and replying to random comments.

You could get online now. I'm home for an hour before I run off to a therapist appointment.

I've been online. :P

*rolls eyes* Yeah, because when you're invisible I can totally see that...

*pokes* I thought we were mindlinked. XP

*snickers* We are, but the only way for me to tell you to get online and talk to me (or in this case, just talk to me) is to poke you. Because you are oblivious like that.

I just never check my buddy list. XP

She applied Immediate Decision and got in. And it was her first choice. Why do more apps if you're in where you want to go? *doesn't understand*

Because you might get into somewhere amazing that you love and didn't expect you would get into, or you might get an amazing scholarship from someplace whereas the school you get into first might not offer you any money at all.

Well, I got in Immediate Decision, and it's where I'm going, but I need them to give me lots of money so I can do this without selling my family into slavery and pawning my soul, not necessarily in that order. So I'm applying to six other schools, and then I shall play the "But Smith offered me more money..." game.

Aha. Sneaky. Though, since you have more family members than I do, you could make more money selling them than I am.

...I mean, what?

Now, you know you wanna tell me what your icon is refering to. I'm having a vague "I know that, but I can't make my brain obey and tell me what it is" moment.

Yes, more applications to AVOID selling family. Must keep reminding myself of this.

"The meek shall inherit the Earth." --Jesus "And the dumbfucks shall get..."
"NOTHING!" --Biff

Really, I think it's just silly.

but selling family members, particulary the cousin everyone has that no-one likes, is fun!!!

Must finish that book. I got a few chapters in and I really liked it, and then I had something to do and so had to stop reading. Hm...
