Squee @ MindSay

So, here at NYU, the graduate halls are not near each other, but we are linked via the RAs and this thing called GPI.  Through GPI, I have had many positive experiences, and fun trips.  Two of the best were part of a series called "Discover Brooklyn", where we...Discover Brooklyn.  Both the trips, Coney Island and the Fulton Ferry Landing were great, and the 2 RAs who took us, Marcus and Zach, are two of my favorites. 

Anyway, a third Discover Brooklyn trip was planned and announced on the gradhall blog.  I didn't check it, because I was silly and chose to use the hour of my day that wasn't full of teaching or class or homework to eat dinner and try to relax.  Thankfully, my wonderful RA, Jess, sent an email telling us to sign up for this month's trip, to Williamsburg for a tour and bowling, so I decided to just that - email Zach, let him know that I wanted to join.

But then I talked to my friend Melissa that Tuesday, and she said Zach had already emailed her back, confirming her spot.  She'd heard back from him Monday, the day I emailed.  Eventually, Zach wrote back to me that unfortuately, I was on the waitlist...and pretty low down it, at that.  As you can imagine, I was pretty sad about that.  I wanted to go so badly, and I wasn't going.  It wasn't THAT BIG a deal, however.  I wrote him back that he was no longer in my top 10 RAs (there are only 12, btw, and I don't realy know 3 of them so...), but that there'd be other trips and I'd try to go on those.  I also asked if I could go on a trip on Sunday to Washington Heights, and he said yes.

Well, I just got an email about an hour ago from Zach saying "I had a cancellation and we'd (Marcus and I) love to have you there".  Um...perfect.  I really am excited I get to go bowling tomorrow!  And I'm really excited Mindsay came up with the tag 'zachity zach zach'  because it is HILARIOUS. 

And now, back to do a  lot of work so I can enjoy my newly full weekend:
- Temple Tonight
- All University Gospe Choir concert tonight
- Williamsburg Trip
- Frank's 60th birthday party
- Movie with Lisa
- Mike's housewarming visit
- GPI meeting at 11am Sunday
- Washington Heights trip at 12
- Ballet at 5:30 ...

wowowoowowoww must work now!

New Kids on the Block reuniting?  Be still my heart!

I'm so there.

I'm not dead yet!

Wee.

So, it's official. Battlefield 2142 is another form of crack. Once you start playing in..... [insert an Oh em gee type thingamabob]. It's spiffy. I'm a Sergeant Gold now, and moving through ranks. Yay!

School school go away. Come again some other day. In fact, don't. Just stay away. A good distance is fine. Noooo closer. Good boy.

Erg. Report Cards came out, I did alright. Last weekend was fabulous. Four day weekend = happy panda. Now, it's just this week, then 9 days off for Thanksgiving! WHOOO HOOOO!  Damn right I'm happiesauce. I'm gonna be up late. Sleeping late. And enjoying everrrrry moment. Weeee. I can't wait. Just gotta... Get through... Another weeekk... Blalasldrgfjdgkjfdg..

I also finally finished my perspective city drawing for art class. It's lovely. Once I get it back and graded, I'll take a picture of it and post it on here. I think it came out really good. Granted. Now I'm a full project behind everyone else.... but that's okay. Meh. At least my new art-student-teacher-girl-lady is really cool. This is most definately a positive. Unlike the previous crazy insane-o last one. Blarg.

Then, on Friday (It was friday, wasn't it? Blah, I can't remember) My parents and I went shopping. It was very eventful. We also stepped foot in..... /GASP --- Hot Topic!

_{Nooooooooooooooooooooooes! The innocence is now shattered!}

 Eh, I'm not too irked about it. I just feel really.. weird... buying things from there. But at the very least I got two really awesome shirts, a thin Red Tie, a World of Warcraft (Hunter) Pin, and a hat. The shirts are awesome sauce. The one is a black shortsleeve button down with TRIGUN splashed on the back, and the other is a white long sleeved button down with a black dragon pattern on the black. The tie is plain and red. I like it. But! I must go into detail about my hat. For the Hat is awesome.

It's a Fedora. A big, black, and floppy one. And do you realize how bad that sentence sounded when taken out of context? Of course you do! Moving on. - It's cool. And comfy. And I like it alot. Granted, being decked out in these articles of clothing I'll feel a bit Emo, but eh. I lurves my new fancies. Darn right I does. I'll be sure to post some pictures of my goodies, along with a new updated avatar for my Mindsay Picture. But of course, Kaycie gets them first.

<3

Now coming to the -me- section. I decided to shave. But this time not all the facial hair off. I now have a sorta.. goatee thingy going on. It's not too shabby, but it feels weird. At least it's not as annoying as feeling like an unshaven hobo for the past two weeks. Guh. I hate facial hair. It's clearly the workings of the Satan.

Following this current line of events...

I'm also revamped on my Lethendis story, which I just got smacked across the face with the [Fan of Ideas], so I'm all Writey-McWrite-write nows. It's fun. I have alot of ideas planned that I want to move forward to. Yays sauce. I'll prolly ask Miryu's sister to edit it for me because my grammar is the suckzorz. Or so I'm told. Either way, it should be entertaining...

Raiding is boring. I have to put up with stupid people and be all Mr. Niceandhappy because if I speak my mind, I come out as being really nasty and mean and get yelled at. Weeeee... Not to mention I don't really care. I'm getting all of these leet phat huntar lewtz for Val when.. I'm not gonna be playing him in the expansion? Buh? Yeah... Its really grinding into the "Holy crap this is pointless. Wtf am I doin'?" But whatev'. Even if I was going to get gear for Leth (Full Avengers set from AQ40.... drrrooolll....) It'd just get replaced in the mid to high 60's anyway, so meh. Not too pressed. Just waiting for the expansion to come out to revamp my WoW love once again.

Playing Paladin...

Five man dungeons...

Leveling up cool crafts...

PvP...

Arena Battles...

The wonders of Outland...

Weeeee

It'll be so much fun. But I gotta wait for

JANUARY 16 BECAUSE BLIZZARD IS A BUNCH OF HOSERS

/cough   Right. Neeed to be calm. Yessss.. Calm...

But ugh. It sucks. Especially when I gotta wait, what? Two months? Two months! NO ONE CAN LIVE AT THIS SPEED. Blarg.

Oh, and in BF2142 I've been nicknamed "Little Jihad", since I'm a maaad suicide bomber. It's intense. On this one Titan match, we were right about to lose when I dived into the enemy's reactor core, threw down some DemoPaks, and BLAM-O! Blew up two of my team mates, seven enemy players, myself, and the enemy titan. And thus, won the game because of me. Bwaahaha. Feear the suicide bomber!

This concludes this broadcasted message. Thanks for playing.



_Boom.

So! The continuation of life continues!

Or does it?

Actually, speaking of "Life", it t'was quite funny. This girl who goes home and work on 8 hours of homework, then falls asleep told me I didn't have a life.

... buh?

It was funny. I laughed. Well. Cackled, really. But honestly - I may not have a "Life" to other people, but I greatly enjoy mine, and anyone else who says otherwise can shove it. Darn right.

Anyways, moving on.

Kaycie is going camping this weekend and coming back Sunday. This makes Panda sad.
/crai

Blarg.

Worse yet, this entire week I've been feeling so crappy towards Kaycie. Its just that when I get wrapped up in my games and in PvP and such, I hardly talk to her at night at all, and I really should more. I can't help but shake the feeling that I'm being such a bastard, and I hate that feeling. Wish I could just.. talk to Kaycie -and- play WoW at the same time! Curses! Sigh. She always says its alright and such, but I always feel miserable when I think about it. I <3 my Kaycie so very much, and I don't want to do anything to her that'd make her sad or upset. : (

Things this week was quite interesting, though. We made the news!

http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=local&id=4695909

Go us. You know what really sucks? The person in the article who got arrested is one of my best friend's brother. Meep.

But the week (and last) was entertaining. What, with the seven bomb threats? Oh, right. They said Five in the article. Way to get your information correct you media hungering fruits. Anyways, it was spectacular. Really. On Wednesday at about 1:30 we had to be evacuated from School in the wonderful freezing weather outside, to sit our happy asses down on the ice cold bleachers. Yay! We were there until 4:00, until the Police FINALLY let the kids who had their car keys leave.

Get this, They said "No cars can leave the parking lot! No one is going near them!" ... .... And we see all the school staff drive away.

W. T. F. ^{bbqpwnsaucebatmanintehpants}

Not to mention the cops were total pricks. It went something like these

Fire-police guy: Hey, these kids really want to understand why they're not allowed to leave, so I thought it'd be best if you tell them.
Me: Hiya! I know all the crap that's going on, but why do all the teachers get to leave while we're stuck here? It doesn't really make much sense...
Police-Prick: They're staff.

O RLY?! Wow! You're SO farking helpfull you pompous self righteous bastard. Can't you really do anything else than sit in your car with a smirk on your face while everyone else freezes their genitals off? YOU SUCK.



Anyways. The fire police guys were really freaking nice though. Even if we were freezing.

All I have to say to conclude this matter is:

Enough is enough. I'm sick and tired of these mother fucking bomb threats in this mother fucking school.

That is all.

But in the days following - sucked just as much. No backpacks (retarded), no driving to school [or snagging a ride from my friend Rick] (retarded) and being confined in school like its a prison. Its a "Safe enviornment", though! I feel so safe! But you can bet your ass that if the staff was endangered in any shape or form, the school would be closed in a heartbeat.

Bastards.

So yeah,. I'd really like to stop going to school for about a month, kthxbai.

In other news.

We've been PvPing our brains out lately. After just 6 hours of PvP I managed to wrack up 31k Honor just last night, which has been total awesome sauce. We're not even a PvP pushing group, but we've been steam rolling people left and right, and have had high ranking PvP teams /afk out on us, and Five capping people in AB. Its been so damn awesome. If this continues tonight, I'll probably hit honored with Arathi Basin =D  /happy

Decided to gear up Lethendis by doing PvP, since it'll be the only way to get decent gear before the expansion comes out. And I should be able to hit ranks if I keep goin' on a PvP spree. Once I get the Blue PvP set, and the Unstoppable Force from being exhalted in AV, I'm gonna respec back to retribution and deal out alot of hurt =D  It'll be so awesome. Currently I'm a PvP-Healbot spec right now, and it's been oodles of fun.

My other idea was to instead of PvP just try to jump onto another raid.. But I doubt I'd be able to do that. Since that'd probably take just as long, or longer to do so than the regular PvP. Plus I don't want the crappy lawbringer set, since +healing =/= good Retribution items. And come expansion, 41 points are going in Ret. It'll be definately fun.

The main course of action that I'm planning to pursue as of now is take Lethendis to 70 first, since most, if not all, of Val's gear will get replaced in the mid to upper 60s. Sure, it'll be a bit easier leveling with Val with the beast talents and gear, but Paladin will be so much fun. And I've always, always loved paladin and wished I could take it to endgame. But I can't because I have EpiK and I'm the EpiK hunter officer.. so bleh. If I could Retire Val and go with Lethendis, even if that would be not having priority in invites, I'd go for it in a heart beat. The only problem with taking Leth to another raid is that:

• Prolly wouldn't get into BWL and would be forced into MC - Not going to happen
• Would have to raid probably every night in order to build dkp
• Conflicting schedules with EpiK
• I really don't want to have to join a guild of asshats like The Renamed/Black Phoenix/Dark Paradigm

Although, I do have heavy BWL experience which would help.. but meh. Maybe I'll look into some things, but I won't hold my breath. Even though Judgement + Herald of Woe = Happyness. Sigh. That'd be so wonderful.

At least it's the weekend, finally. And I'm ready for much PvP after raiding. Yay! With Leth, though, I really need to go to scholomance and get my farking Lightforge Helm - which is the last thing I need in order to get my Soulforge Breastplate which I've had the [Quest: Completed] for, foooor about.. what, 4 months? Ugh. Stupid things REFUSES to drop, and I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate going there.

Le sigh.

Well, that seems all there is for now. Maybe I'll post something later this weekend if I feeeeels like it.

_{Zomg bubblehearthing.}

You lose.

We win.

He is our champion.



School is awfully lame. As I realize I haven't updated at all lately until my "I R HEALBOTZ" paladin update. Woo yay goodie joyness.

Meh.

I've been so tired lately. Maybe its because my medication - I haven't really checked to see if it causes sleepyness. Maybe I'm just getting worn out (Already? I'm such a sissy) by school. Then again the idiot guidance lady-hobag gave me Algebra III and Geometry. In the same semester. In the first two mods. Heavy math books ftl. Guh. I feel so tired. I hate this feeling. I hate feeling tired and sleepy. I hate hating things. Bleh.

I'm kinda bland right now. Not much to do other than hope that the monkeys at Blizzard update their talent preview and show the New Hunter talents.. Wee. As I've been saying all week pretty much - They'll either rock so hardcore that I'll fall in love with Hunter once again. Or, They'll completely screw everything up and make the class suck and me hate it. Shooting things is fun, I guess. I'll probably hit AV again tonight. Mainly because I lol'd that a Sergeant could kill things more effective than a General/Warlord/High Warlord. Lawl, learn2pvp. Heh, I'm not even in Full DS either. Still in the majority of GS gear, with my Crown of Destruction <3  Its so pretty. I don't think I'll ever take it off. Unless I get full DS, then maybe, but that time is a long ways away. Plus full DS looks retarded.

Also since it's a holiday weekend, EpiK is gonna be missing about.. 6 or so? officers, as well as other people. Meaning we might not go to BWL. Meaning we may not go to MC, meaning we may not go to AQ40, meaning we may not go to Naxxramas.. Meaning its another week of getting jackshit without the actual raiding. I'll have to find some way to entertain myself.

Ugh.

Despite my sucky math situation, they are at least really friendly and nice math teachers. They seem like really cool guys. Unlike Mrs. Moyer. Ugh. If I could've shoved her down a huge flight of stairs, I so would've. But you never heard me say that.

Right.

Tired. Bored. I want to see my Hunter talents to power charge me back up my excitement. I want the Burning Crusade to come out, so I can play a Blood Elf like 90% of the other WoW population. Even though it'll pretty much destroy endgame raiding. No more 40 man instances. Its kinda cool. I wonder how it'll flow. My brother also burned a handful of Radiohead CDs for me at my request. They're awesome. They are stuck in my head, and I like it.

Tired. I want my Kaycie to come on so I can talk to her. I think about her all the time in school - she's my incentive to do my work and get home. She has more of a life than I do. But at least I'm kinda enjoying mine. Minus the school stuff. I got her mailing address, so I can send her journals and such. I'll have to root through my pile of notebooks. And take some pictures of me in my Panda hat for her, and ninja one that I can use as my profile picture. Fear the Panda. For, Valihel is very cuddly deep down. I'll probably play around more with my WoW model viewer. Maybe if we do go to BWL this week, the Untamed Blade will drop. Or the Drake Talon Cleaver. Or two Ashkandi's so Miryu and I can both get one.

That's if the Hunter talents are any good. If they're total shit I don't even really want to play Hunter any more. All my excitement will cease, and I will be sad inside. My naruto headband is around my neck. Its very comfy there. I think I'm getting sick. My forehead feels really hot and my eyes are burning. Today must not be my day.

Maybe I'll have to wait a little while long for the rains to fade away.

However. I am making friends at school. Wee. Maybe I'll be able to do some stuff on the weekends with them or something. Play video games. Watch anime. Something. They don't seem drug indulged, either. Which is always a positive thing. Maybe I might go lay down sometime. I have alot of Humanities (SS/English mix) homework, but luckily, due Tuesday. Yeah, I have a four day weekend already after only having school for 4 days. Smart? Yeah, I think so too. Really. There's no sarcasm in my voice. Honest.

I've already started writing in my notebooks again. Maybe I'll write in here every day, too. I don't do much other stuff other than check the forums and crap. Maybe AQ20 will be continuing tonight. That'd be fun. EpiK also killed Fankriss for the first time on Tuesday. It was pretty cool, I forget what he dropped. Barbed Necklace, or something. It was pretty cool, but I'm holding out for the pants and/or polearm. That thing is pretty badass. 41 agi = 41 AP and roughly 90% of 1 critical strike increase, along with +310 health.. With a 336-ish top damage.. That'd be nice to get. Then again, I'd settle for Untamed. Or Ashkandi. Pretty much I'm never going to get either of those three.

Sigh.

I'm not sure why I feel kinda down. Maybe it's that I really am getting sick. Ugh. Fun.

I'll probably update tomorrow if I'm up to it.

<3 Kaycie.
