My internet is fucked. Apparently the signal for the webs is weak so I can't get on the internet at my apartment.
Seeing as how all my damn classes are online, not to mention maintaining this blog, writing stories, and other time wasters...this not having convenient internet thing is really starting to drive me banana sandwich.
Ugh.
So this is why I'm not online a lot, why I can't get my stories done quickly, and why I'm going to lose my motherfucking mind. Damn you, Comcast.
On the bright side, at least I'll be going home to the parentals' house next week for Thanksgiving. Hot and cold running Internet and all the comforts of being at home. Mmm, real food. I can't wait.
I'm still trying out new templates for this thing. The ones on file are damn terrible. I don't think I like this one too much though. Definitely bland.

Paper Bag
Ahh, another Wednesday!
Got one assignment done, and nearly ready to start the other one so naturally I'm procrastinating. Not much news to report. My best friend (or BFF...we pronounce it as "boof") is coming in this weekend and I'm super pumped. I haven't seen her in about two or three months. Too bad I have to work this weekend but there's always the daytime.
So, my inner perfectionist has decided to not post Always and Never until next week. There's a lot of shit I need to clean up, lots of detail to add. Plus, homework has completely dominated my computer for the past two weeks and it's hard to get some creative time in that doesn't involve looking at ads and updating my graded blog (which I still haven't done).
In other news, still no interwebs at the house yet. Hopefully that will change by tomorrow. But in the meantime, I'll leave you with this playlist.
The first song is "Paper Bag" (and the title of this entry) by Fiona Apple. Last week, when I was going through a ridiculously rough time, this song was perfect.
And today, I was watching Dan in Real Life. If you haven't seen it, definitely check it out. I've never been an emotional person, but I was definitely getting misty-eyed. One part in particular was when Steve Carell and Dane Cook are singing "Let My Love Open the Door". Not only is that one of my FAVORITE songs, it totally fits the scene.
I also added the original versions by Pete Townsend.
Well, back to the homework grind. Have a great Wednesday, guys!
Rock on!

A Quickie (Haha)
Okay so this is going to be short, 'cause technically I'm supposed to be working on homework for two classes. I really fucking hate having two online classes at the same time, in the same program, because everything is due on the same day. I'm going to need something akin to a miracle to write two 4-6 paged papers before 11;55 tonight. One shouldn't be so bad, but the other one is going to be harder than a virgin in a whorehouse. (LOL, well at least I know my creativity isn't lacking)
Speaking of, I'm out of my funk. Not entirely, but I've been talking things out and it's helped a lot. I'm slowly trying to get myself organized. My apartment is kind of a mess, and I desperately need to get my homework schedule down and stop waiting until the last minute. I'm trying, but I need to work harder.
In other news, I'm going to Charleston tomorrow with my friend so she and her sister can vote. I love a good road trip. I voted two Fridays ago (absentee ballot, FTW!) so I'm all set. Tomorrow's going to be historical, wherever your may fall on the political spectrum. So if you haven't already done so, GET THE FUCK OUT AND VOTE! That's pretty much all I'm gonna say about politics on this blog. EVER.
So, my modem has decided to be an angry whore and die on me. It's really inconvenient because now I have to make time to go to the Comcast store and fucking hurl it at them (I mean, delicately explain to them what the situation is). Needless to say, I'm not happy. The dude on the phone actually had the nerve to tell me it was my network adapter in my BRAND NEW laptop that wasn't working because it couldn't possibly be their craptacular machine.
Who feels like the tool now? So, I'm without the internet at the house until about Wednesday or Thursday. I'm at WVU's library, which is fine by me. I can't get work done in my house anymore and plus there's cappuccino here. Score. (Which could explain why I'm so hyper.)
Sigh. Homework sucks, but I gotta get going on it. Whenever I'm finished, I'll be posting my new story on Lit. Blame Comcast for the delay.
Until next time!
