| I posted this on my dA journal a few weeks back, so now I'll post it here too.
A reported transcript of a radio conversation off the coast of Newfoundland in 1997:
Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the north to avoid a collision.
Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the north to avoid a collision.
Americans: This is the captain of a US Navy warship. I say again, divert your course.
Canadians: No, I say again, you divert your course.
Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS MISSOURI. WE ARE A LARGE WARSHIP OF THE U.S. NAVY. DIVERT YOUR COURSE NOW.
Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

| So, long time no post! I posted the sixth chapter of my novel-length Founders story on LiveJournal, Skyhawke, FF.N, and the Archive of Our Own, which is now in Open Beta, and which, strictly as a user and not getting into fannish politics or whatever? I fucking love how it's set up. There are a few flaws, but overall it's a really nice way to upload.
( Firstly, the features I like. )
( Things I think other people would like but that I haven't used. )
( Issues I've had. )
Anyway, my stories uploaded there are all at this link.
And in honor of the actual chapter posted, ( some music from YouTube, with accompanying blather. ) | comments: Leave a comment  |

| SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT
MY LAB NOTEBOOK FOR ONE OF MY CLASSES IS DUE THIS FRIDAY
I THOUGHT IT WAS DUE THE WEEK BEFORE FINAL EXAMS
AS IN AFTER THANKSGIVING
AS IN I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE TIME TO GET CAUGHT UP ON THE LAB ASSIGNMENTS OVER THANKSGIVING
AS IN I AM TOTALLY SCREWED BECAUSE I ALSO HAVE AN ESSAY DUE TOMORROW IN ANOTHER CLASS NOT TO MENTION ANOTHER 1300 WORDS TO ADD TO A MINIMUM-OF-2000-WORD ESSAY FOR THAT SAME CLASS BY NEXT WEDNESDAY AND I CAN'T LEAVE ALL THOSE WORDS FOR THIS WEEKEND BECAUSE I WILL NEVER GET IT DONE ON TIME
Wait, okay, I can email the lab TA and ask for an extension through my Disability Resource Center accommodations.
SHIT NO I CAN'T BECAUSE I JUST REALIZED THAT I NEVER SENT THE DOCUMENTATION DIRECTLY TO THE TA. I SENT IT TO THE PROFESSOR BUT I NEVER SENT IT TO THE TA SO I CAN'T PROVE ANYTHING
Fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff----

| GUYS. Guys, something ODD just happened. I just went to check my email and found three new ones in my inbox, all from FF.net and all regarding a silly little Avatar/Iron Man one-shot I wrote back in early September for shits n' giggles, and all from someone named eaglehead: a Review Alert, a Favorite Story Alert, and an Author Alert. So I went and checked out their profile out of curiosity, and... it's entirely empty and created today. The only thing in it is a single story on their Favorites list-- mine.
Guys, I... I think someone created an account on FF.net solely for my silly little one-shot. O_O I don't know if I should feel flattered or startled. Both??? Although this story has attracted some curious folk before. A couple weeks after I posted it this person named Cylon One started sending me all these messages about it, pointing out an alleged misspelling in the summary (I wrote "pwn", they thought I meant "own"), telling me how much they enjoyed the story, repeated requests for sequels, ideas for potential sequels. It was flattering but also head-scratchy. LOL INTERNET???? | comments: 16 comments or Leave a comment  |

| After some N.E.W.T. Orientation, they started transfiguring an apple to a mango which was hard since you must change the color of the red apple to a yellow one. Ron had so much difficulty he changed his apple to a red mango that made Harry sick. It looked like someone pour blood on it. Hermione had no difficulty, like always, she perfectly changed her apple to a yellow mango earning her ten points to Gryffindor.
“How did you do that?” said Ron as they went down to the Greenhouses for Herbology.
“I learn Ron, not ask” said Hermione as they stopped at the entrance of the greenhouse since it was occupied by second years.

| Apparently, because a desperate and grief-stricken Rose absorbed the Time Vortex and saved the Doctor's life only for him to suck it out her & regenerate, that the remnant power of the Vortex has been slowly turning him mad, as we saw in Waters of Mars.
Okay! Sweet theory, must admit.
Oh, did I mention IT'S ALL ROSE'S FAULT? Cause she made him regenerate and she "selfishly" took the Vortex in her (because fuck, in her severely emotional state, she couldn't remember anything from Boom Town -- HOW DARE SHE HAS FEELINGS FOR HER BEST FRIEND/GIRLCRUSH ARRRGH) and if Rose was still around after Doomsday, she would have just fucked him up even more and egged him on to be a lonely god of emoness.
I LOOK FOR LOGIC; I FIND NONE. I FIND NOOOOOOONE. ;______;
FAN THEORY I JUST MADE UP GUYS REALLY: The Ninth Doctor takes the Vortex energy out of Rose to SAVE HER LIFE and accidentally sees everything, including the break of the time lock surrounding the War by the Master and the ~triumphant return~ of Gallifrey. When he regenerates, he forgets, but the closer he comes to the event horizon when everything will change (SUP "END OF TIME") his mind slowly turns against him to keep him from remembering. Thus, the madness and arrogance and Lonely God shtick we've been seeing, the constant reinforcing of I'M SO ALOOOOONE AND THE ONLY TIME LORD ;_____; ---- so he never remembers that Gallifrey is coming back, until it becomes impossible to hold back and that ---- swush. (Swush?)
Gallifrey comes back, the Time War is broken out of his lock, insert some crap with Daleks, and by the end the Doctor is no longer alone and also looks like that one chap from Party Animals. SWUSH! REGENERATE!

| I had this assignment to do for school. It was kinda hard, because they always wait more answers than what the questions says, and there was a lot of doubt, and frankly, it was boring. So I write every things it was possible to add to the answers, every steps, every objects asked in list forms.
I forgot two things (the paper and the waste basket), but I have my best grade so far, 19,75/20! | comments: Leave a comment  |

| The department home pages on my college's website are seriously unhelpful.
Here's what happened: For my major, I need to complete a series of two basic physics classes that are specifically geared towards biological science degrees. I took the first course last year and it stressed me out so badly that I decided to wait until this year to take the next one, because otherwise I'd have been taking two physics classes in a row and after the first class I honestly didn't know if I could handle that. Unfortunately, they canceled that series over the summer, so student who took the first now have to take a class in another basic physics series that corresponds to the second class. Sounds simple enough, right?
LOL NO. Today is the first day I can enroll in classes for next quarter, and when I went to enroll in the second physics class I remembered that the science-based series been cancelled. And I didn't know which other basic class would fulfill that requirement. So if you wanted to find out something like that, where would you look? If you guessed "the Physics Department home page", like I did, you'd be WRONG. There was nothing about the change in the basic series options on the Physics Department homepage. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
Eventually, after about ten minutes of worrying and fretting and searching every corner of the home page, I decided to check the page for the Biological Sciences Undergraduate Department... and found the info I needed in less than three minutes.
Because hey, if you have some VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION about a VERY SIGNIFICANT CHANGE in the availability of a lower-division Physics class that is a required class for numerous majors, why on earth would you bother putting it on AN ENTIRE PAGE DEVOTED EXCLUSIVELY TO THE PHYSICS DEPARTMENT when you can put it on a Biological Sciences page instead? *headdesks repeatedly*
EDIT: Got an email back from the Physics advising people. Apparently the Bio Sciences page I found the info on is now the official homepage for all Physical and Bio Science undergraduate business. Which makes more sense, but still. It'd be nice of them to make a note of that on the Physics Department website, for those of us who didn't get the memo about them rearranging stuff. | comments: Leave a comment  |

And 'Proud Mary' performed in wheelchairs owns my soul because the cast just looked like they were having the time of their lives.

| Bad News: I had a midterm for one of my classes that was supposed to start at 9 this morning. The regular exam would start at 10, but I have a learning disability and I am registered with my college's Disability Resource Center, so I am legally entitled to "reasonable accommodations" in my classes when I ask for them via the proper DRC paperwork. In my case, reasonable accommodations = extra time on exams and a separate room to take my exam in. Well, the TA who was supposed to administer the exam to me and the other DRC girl never showed up. Apparently he thought the exam was starting at 10 with the extra time tacked onto the end of the regular testing time. So I got up way earlier than I needed to after staying up way too late last night, and wasted an hour waiting for the guy.
Good News: it is now a take-home exam and I have until tomorrow morning to complete it. Yay? | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment  |

| Okay, I just LOLed IRL. I'm adding citations to the essay I'm working on, right? And one of the authors of the article I'm citing has the last name McPhail. XD XD XD It's especially funny because back when I was in the Phantom of the Opera fandom, we had this obnoxious habit of spelling words that start with "f" with a "ph" instead, so we'd write "fail" as "phail".
Heee, McFail. *is five years old* | comments: Leave a comment  |
