...Gyuh?
'kay, see, I'm pretty much used to getting random anonymous comments on ocassion, and I really appreciate it when I can figure out who they're from.
It's almost kinda spooky when I get anonymous comments on one of the denizens accounts though. I'm glad that you people stalk me well enough to know that. Glad and a little spooked.
(This particular comment was written well enough that I'm ninety-three percent certain of who posted it. And, I mean, I've got all the denizen journals linked in my userinfo. But still!)

Thought process: "Yay, first 'actually going to a school and observing!' thing is on Thursday! That's so cool! Oo, sheet that tells me where! Blabla, somewhere in Medford somewhere (I should visit Jarne afterwards), blabla...wait.
"Leave Lesley: 6:45 AM"
...
*begins laughing in a somewhat hysterical manner.*
Fuck, that's awesome. No brain, I shouldn't just not sleep. I used to be able to get up by six, 'member?

Urban Dictionary word of the day: Choreplay.
When a woman is turned on by the sight of her husband/boyfriend/partner doing regular household chores, that she would normally be doing.
"Last night, it was all about choreplay. I was all 'OH YEAH, fold that laundry. Oh yes, just like that! In half and, then in half again. OHHH'"
Bahahahahaha. I love my e-mail.
***
...Oh. Except that e-mail also informs me of depressing things. *le sigh*
***
Heroes continues to be awesome. I'm...five? Five episodes in. And Hiro is SO CUTE, I WANT ONE! Also, Talia ruined me for the Petrellis, etc, Niki is my favourite character and I don't know why (Peter is prettyawesomegroovy too), the psychic thing in bed would probably be more weird if one of the first sex scenes* I ever read hadn't involved reading minds, Claire makes me want to scoop her up and protect her, which is weird as those instincts are usually tuned to the slightly socially awkward geek-boys I'm friends with, Nathan is an asshole, but he was nice to Hiro, so that's okay, Hiro is hella adorable (Seriously, just go watch this show to see him, it's worth it) annnnd yeah. Oh, and Mohinder has a gorgeous voice.
Also, Hyde is amused by my interest in Niki. He says he likes her too, but I get the sense that his motives are slightly less than pure. (I also get the sense that he actually likes Jessica, and doesn't realize it yet.)

So, for the last five weeks that I've been in Boston (three before break, two after), I've been going to Scottish Country Dance, and learning how to dance and stuff.
Ignoring all the obvious appeal of joining a dance group where there are at least four guys in kilts at any given point (Glee!), it is hella-fun. The group is terribly friendly, and it's all fairly casual, meaning that if I mess up, someone will just point me back in the right direction.
(And I'm starting to actually get good enough that I don't mess up so much. And that I can recognize the terms (Reeling = fun, hello-goodbye setting = haaaaaaate (I am total rubbish at setting, still)) And glee! Plus, Meyer, who's one of the guys who clearly knows what he's doing, told me last night that I'm getting better *bounces!*
It does ocassionally make my brain go "gyuh" whenever I re-realize that I'm the youngest person there by about ten or twelve years at any given point. *sighs* Well, given the choice between this and random clubbing, I find this infinitely more appealing, and, well, yeah. I'm sure eventually my peer group will catch up with me, and I'll start getting on better with people my own age, but that doesn't much seem to have occured yet.
(On a similar note, going to Vericon last weekend was a little bit boggling just because everyone was, say, five years older than me instead of the fifteen or twenty I'm used to at cons. It's kinda nice to realize that I'm not the only freak. *smiles*)
***
I think that's everything for now. Goals for today: Kinda the same as they've been for the last week --unpack, clean my dorm, and do homework. Oh, and to write more Arisia reports.
Oh, and listen to really loud music. Yep! *bounces along to 'DNA' by JoCo, since that's what happens to be on.* Ta!

MOOP!

on 2008-01-30 12:05 am (UTC)Try being 4-5 years OLDER than the other people at the con. (I was at Genericon this weekend)
First college con I've been to where I actually thought the attendees (and most of the con-com) looked "so young!"...
I'm sort of worried about KatsuCon now... Anime cons tend to skew REALLY young.

on 2008-01-30 12:37 am (UTC)You're not. I can think of three people I know are fewer than twelve years older than you (one I know is fewer than ten, too), and a few others I suspect it of.
That group is actually remarkable in how young it is, though. I have often been to dance events where I was the youngest person by ten or twelve years. The hope is that encouraging more and more younger people to come to these things will help over time.
Jarne, you're in Medford? You should join us for SCD sometime.
