So here's some things that I accomplished today:

*I had a reasonably good work day! I caught up with all the daily tasks from Friday, and most of them from Monday. I still haven't done today's daily tasks (of course) but I am careening towards something resembling "caught up".

*I managed -twice- to take a video game break where I did not then play video games for infinity hours. Timers help considerably in this case, and setting them on the desk, and being real fuckin' serious about listening to them. After the first break I did a bunch of work (see the above point), after the second break I kinda dicked around on the internet for a bit but eventually got focused into TherapyTimeTasks. So that felt pretty good --it is rare and nice that I can actually ~exhibit moderation~ and it's probably gonna all go to fuck immediately.

*Aforementioned TherapyTimeTasks went quite well -- the goal was to finish up the 101 in 1001 list I've been working on for a bit. (Explanation: you have a list of 101 tasks which you will complete in 1001 days.) I'm not totally sure how public I'm gonna make the list this time around --last time I tried this (in 2007) I made a whole separate livejournal, which I maintained for all of four months.

To be clear, there is very little evidence that I will be focused about this for longer than four months, but the very act of thinking about the future and trying to set goals feels revolutionary, in a brain made entirely of burn-out and pandemics.

Anyways, the majority of the list is totally reasonable to share (and parts of it are probably quite guessable), but there's at least one thing which is Actively Secret Due To Old Agreements, one thing that's _super_ shameful (technically it's so shameful that it's *two* things), and one thing that is...not a secret and probably not a surprise but still something I have never once mentioned to another human being as something I was interested in or wanted to do, and there's vulnerability in that.

Anywho, I've decided that I'm gonna initiate list-start on February 28th, which means it'll end on November 26th 2023. There was a little bit of exploration to find perfect dates, and what I've landed on is "start on my half birthday, end on my sixteenth danciversary" and I am pretty damn okay with that!

*Ate quesedillas, watched Parks and Rec with Ezri, did go on a ten minute walk (although it was to the corner store this evening and not to the pull-up bars so I didn't do any pull-ups.) I've rebooted my paper Dailies checklist with a ~fancy~ spreadsheet version, which is still just an excuse to use pretty colours to mark things that are happening.

...Man, I was vaguely into spreadsheets before the pandemic, but job-plus-pandemic has *really* gotten me into them. Good stuff!

I hope you're well. <3

So yeah. Dancing: good. Being able to sleep in: good. Remembering to take my meds like a good girl: good. Getting enough to eat last night, honesty, kitties: good, good, good.

Sorcy feeling less emo? Fan*tas*tic. [/Ecclston1!Who]

Dancing babbling, this cut is only an expiriment )

Hey, wanna know what's decidedly uncool? Rehersal nights are Mondays (SCD), Wednesdays (Meaning I'm in class from one until five fifteen, and then in rehersal from six until ten, hatehate), and Thursdays (Game night at Dan4th's.)

Also, Sunday mornings (meaning I can't stay over at anyones house on Saturday nights) and tech on Saturday mornings (meaning I can't stay over at anyones house on Friday nights.) Mantra to be repeated until the thirteenth of April: I really do love the theatre. I really do love the theatre. I really do love the theatre.

Unrelatedly, NTS, I need to look up when/where/how much NEFFA is. Oh, hot damn, they have the whole "volunteer and get in free" thing going. Sorcy likes, yep.

Right! I'm going to...uhm...accomplish things? Like what, there's nothing *to* accomplish today. Well, I could go clean my room. Eh, maybe. AT ANY RATE!

*waves and runs off*

1: Have I mentioned yet that it took me until I actually *listened* to the lyrics of Science Fiction / Double Feature again to get Claude (from Heroes)'s name? Yeah, I am just that ditzy.

2: Turning waltz --Viennese style, I think?

I'm kinda half-working on a "state of the Sorcy's sexuality" thing, to commemerate the fact that National Coming Out Day was two days ago. Soyeah, for those that don't know, I'm awesomesexual. It's like pansexual without making me think of figures from greek mythology and giggling.

Lessee...today's Saturday, technically. Thursday was the schools first Open-Mic night. I went and read two poems and a short piece --Definitions, Paths (Which I can't find a link to, which means I may not have actually posted it, which is strange.) and an untitled bit of prose that I definently haven't posted.

And, by reading something I had written on a stage, I knocked off another 101 in 1001 goal. Woot! I think this means I have finished six of them. >>

Friday was yesterday. I spent most of yesterday hanging out with Lauren and ocassionally Emily. We're all in Freshman Seminar together, so Friday morning I grabbed food from the cafe and met up with them in the student center where we watched "A Pup Named Scooby Doo". Because we are bad.

After seminar, Lauren and I decided to be gentlemen and walk Emily to her class at Porter. We did so, walked home, decided to go investigate the pie shop I found on my uberwalk, and went wandering.

We visited the pie shop, the creepy underground tunnel, and a supermarket. At the supermarket, we found toffee apples that were a day past their expiriation day or something so they were wicked cheap. So that was my lunch on Friday. *grin*

Back to Porter, and I went to my Movement and Improv class. Which continues to be funish. In other news, I am excellent at Zip Zap Zop solong as I can keep my focus on.

Friday night, the school had an '80's dance. I wore my tails and a borrowed tophat and told people that no one had specified the century. I felt somewhat awkward at first, being all lonely and wallflowerish, but then Katrina and Catie showed up and the three of us began dancing. Which was wicked fun.

I pretty much danced all night with Katrina, Catie, Dominik, and a friend of his called Mando. Afterwards, Dominik and I did the gentleman thing (What can I say, I was dressed for it.) and walked Mando to Havahd Square so she could meet up with her boyfriend. Which was totally fun, and Mando is now my new best friend, which remains the least permanent title in history.

Walked back, chatted some, eventually wandered back up to my room by myself and curled up with Seren. And then, for some reason I'm not sure of, I stayed up until Kat went to bed. Except, I think I fell mostly asleep at one point, and while I would've sworn I sent some sort of message along the lines of "sleep now", I apparently didn't. So, apologies to Kat and Tho for just vanishing. :/

Soyeah. Three AM may be too early for me.

Today: Broke my New Years resolution of getting up before noon every day (which I've been shit at anyways) by waking up around noonish and lying around in bed until one. Which was fun. Then I ate and now I'm slacking around here.

How has YOUR week been?

Hokay kids. Here is my mission101 list. This is kinda the really jumbled unorginized version --before too long, I shall have one up that is orginized by catagories. (Travel, sewing, costumes, etc.)

If you have any questions/comments/wisecracks/snark/concerns/etc about anything on my list, drop a comment and I'll be happy to respond.

Here goes nothing.

101 in 1001 )

Soyeah. Stuff.

Life has been completely non-busy, while feeling reeeeeeeeally full. About the only thing I've done of late is go to Much Ado About Nothing on Saturday, and the ensuing birfday party of bigness.

Oh yeah, and I got sick at Becky's house due to mysterious spontaneous flu on Friday. BUT, before that, we managed to warp her legos into giving us a sembelance of TennantWho/Rose. So that is a Good Thing. Picture is right Here.

Oh! I finished my Mission 101 list. So hey, poll question for you all:

[Poll #922219]

The actual list will be up ANY DAY NOW! I swear. Hokay, so I'm lying. Shh.

See, if I wasn't lazy, I could post it right now. I'm sure you're all desperate to know what random goals I'd like to get done in the next two years and eight months.

Yeah, that's it.

Oh, except for this: Mega-congrats to [livejournal.com profile] twitchingrat for no longer being pre-t. That is so frelling cool!

Annnnnnnnnnd I'm out.

Second Quarter grades:
German II --A
Ancient and Medival History --B (Down from an A last quarter)
Calculus GT --B (Down from an A last quarter)
English 12 AP/GT --A
Stagecraft III --A
Aide (English) --A (No, really? SHOCK!)
Psychology --A (Which I Cluelessed for. I'm so ashamed. :D)

Midterm Grades:
German II --A
Ancient and Medival History --A
Calculus GT --A
English 12 AP/GT --B (Two essays and four paragraphs, done first thing in the morning, on a day when I didn't take my drugs. I'm impressed I swung a B.)
Stagecraft III --A
Aide (English) --A (More shock and awe here. I think my midterm was grading other peoples midterms...)
Psychology --A

So yeah. All that's good, though I can't help but be pissed that my GPA dropped .29 points from last quarter (4.0) to this one (3.71)

Which is a stupid thing to hate. It really really is, I've got no right, no reason to be pissed at myself. It's just...life was a lot easier before I cared about my grades. It really was.

*************

I am feeling better from yesterday. For some version of the word better, at least. Mostly I just feel empty, drained. Too much emotion yesterday, and too melencholy to be able to care about anyone else. The media center did succeed in working as a useful student resource for possibly the first time since tenth grade, which is both shocking and good. Or at least, it sorta did --I managed to curl up in a corner and read sinply by nature of the fact that I probably looked desperate enough to the aide and "a few kids who signed up haven't shown up."

They really shouldn't be allowed to call it a student resource center. Considering that getting in there without a pass is the next thing to impossible, and that they don't provide enough passes, ever. Which leaves me, when I Just Want To Be Alone, stuck downstairs in the atrium in the lunchroom with noise and crowds and people and I just don't want to deal with it some days.

But today, for once, it worked. And that's good, I really needed it to work. I don't even know what I read -some twisted diarytype book tucked in the socio section, I think. For once, I *wasn't* reading the introduction to The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy aloud. (Just as well --I most likely would have started crying) But then again, I kind of left that hobby when I stopped having lunch with Paul.

*************

So, there's this thing I've been working on--it's called 101 in 1001, and the basic idea is to make a list of 101 goals you'd like to achieve in 1001 days and activly work to achieve them. For information past that, see Hier

I basically stumbled across it [livejournal.com profile] kittikattie's journal and became quite enamoured of the idea. If I start my list soon, I'm looking at a deadline of the very end of October/beginning of November.

I'm nearly done writing my 101 goals (12 to go!) and from there...we'll see. Maybe I'll forget about the project completely, maybe I'll actually do it all. If it's the latter, you lot will get to enjoy loads more of my blathering, as I bitch about how hard/stupid/complicated/time consuming/confining my goals were and how dumb I was for choosing them.

(Ha, and I just thought of one more to toss on there --finish reading Discworld. Eleven to go!)

Sooooooooo yeah. That's really life right now. Working on that, keeping up with school, trying to keep up with life and emotions and friends and drama and All That. Oh, and Dragon Dance. Which, I have to say, is probably one of the coolest things I have ever been a part of in my entire life. I get to run around with a DRAGON! Rarrrr!!

(Kung-fu is so cool. ^.^^)
((Jesus, that's a Blueism, isn't it? Man, I need to talk to that girl again. It's been agggggeeees since I saw her last. And she still has my comics, damn her!))
(((Parenthenses!)))

*************

So yeah, I'm getting better I think. I really am happy about my grades, I just really really wish I didn't have any B's. Which, compared to my grades for the past three years, is a "You're pushing your luck, moron" sort of wish.

And I reeeeeeally want to get rejected from all the colleges I applyed to. Please. Just let me know I got my applications in and you noticed. It'd be nice to be accepted, but really I'm just tired of all this WAITING!

That's all for now.
