What a strange mood I was in yesterday! Hopefully it has passed. Today is Wednesday, which means two things: LOST (duh!) and clothes shopping by myself because I'm a loser. I have nothing (seriously, nothing) to wear out on Friday, so I have to take my lazy ass downtown and try to find something that I can purchase with a gift certificate. I really hate shopping for clothes when I am feeling so crappy about myself, and that's why I haven't purchased anything new since, like, the summer. It's bad. I'm ugly. I wear sweatshirts every day. I am trying to sit it out until I lose more weight. I wish it would leave faster. I need to go to the gym.

DEBBIE DOWNER. SORRY.

So anyway, hopefully I will find something today that will look decent and will be an acceptable outfit for "going out on the town" Friday night. I will try Urban Outfitters first since I have a couple gift cards there. I think I also have a Macy's gift card, so that's always an option. And if those places are lacking, I will have to go somewhere cheaper and not use a gift card.

Tomorrow I am getting my hair cut. I am really weird about haircuts. I am excited because it looks like SHIT right now and it is driving me crazy (especially my awkwardly long bangs), but I am really bad at trusting people to make it look good. I have gone to the same hair stylist since I was like five or something. Over this past summer, I really needed a haircut and she was out of town for a long time, so I had to make an appointment with some dude that works at her salon. He did my hair and it looked like crap. So I went back a few weeks later when Sheridan was back and she fixed it for me and I vowed never to let that happen again! But obviously I can't keep going back to the Bay Area every time I get my hair cut for the rest of my life, so now is the time to start taking risks. The girl I'm going to cut Val's and Brittny's hair, and they both look stunning all the time, so I already halfway trust her. But if she effs it up the day before my birthday, she better hang on to those scissors because I will be wanting to cut HER. Ooooh snap.

On Friday I was supposed to go out to lunch with Gary, but now he has to drive the french chick (I think I shall call her Rousseau II) to the airport because that damn bitch is finally leaving. I wonder if he would tell her to find her own way there if he remembered that Friday was my birthday. Probably not. I'm not that important to him anymore. Friday afternoon, Karen will arrive. And that night we'll go downtown with Catherine, Brittny, Leah, and Audrey. I am so excited to go to bars. I already feel grown up just thinking about it. I think it'll be a really good night.

On Saturday I will have to spend a good deal of time during the day studying/writing for my two upcoming midterms (test on Monday, take-home due Tuesday). Karen has already said she won't be offended if I have to take time out for this, which is good because my grades certainly depend on it. Saturday night, Bri is coming over and I am buying booze. Housemates and whoever else is interested: please join us. This was the night I was thinking about having a party so I told Bri to come over, but now I don't feel like doing anything, so I guess I'll just get drunk and we can play board games or something.

Sunday morning I am kicking Bri and Karen out early so I can study all day. That night the Awesome Department is going out to dinner. We're going downtown to some Italian place called Maria's. The menu we got in the mail looks wonderful, so I can't wait.

And those are my plans! I feel better already, after just writing them down. Now it's time to go find Mitzi so we can go to class and watch nasty people drink Cokes early in the morning and fix their nasty greasy hair. YAY!

Good afternoon, LiveJournal Land.

I got an email this morning from Amazon.co.uk telling me that I could save up tp 60% on Simon Pegg and Nick Frost DVDs. I am proud to say that I have seen 6 of the 8 DVDs featured in their email... Not bad for someone who didn't even know their names up until a few months ago, eh?

1) Hot Fuzz [saw in theatres + downloaded shitty cam version]
2) Shaun of the Dead [own it]
3) Big Nothing [downloaded it]
4) Spaced [own it]
5) Big Train [want to see it desperately; will be released on DVD here May 29th]
6) Man Stroke Woman [must see it!]
7) Nick Frost's Danger! 50,000 Volts [own it]
8) Kinky Boots [rented it on Saturday]

May I also note that the soundtracks for Spaced, Hot Fuzz, and Shaun of the Dead are all fantastic? I can't stop listening to any of them. Osymyso is probably the coolest dude ever. I'd like to meet him and shake his hand for doing fantastic remixes involving sound clips. I made a playlist with all three soundtracks and I'm going to shuffle 'em all around and it's going to be amazing. HOT DOG, JUMPING FROG, ALBUQUERQUE! I am enjoying the free music, but I sort of feel like I should still buy them someday since I love them so much.

My Latin midterm didn't suck quite as much as I thought it would.

The female member of "the gross couple" in Roman Civ decided halfway through today's lecture that it would be an opportune time to PLUCK HER EYEBROWS. She pulled out her little compact mirror, tweezers, and went at it. IN THE FRONT ROW. RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE PROFESSOR. WTF PEOPLE!?! Take care of your hygiene and grooming BEFORE you come to class. Or even after. Your nasty eyebrows couldn't wait 20 minutes, bitch? Sadly, this isn't the nastiest thing I've seen in a lecture hall before. I have encountered not one, not two, but THREE individuals who enjoy trimming their fingernails in class. All were male. All were nasty.

I am freaking out about Scotland a little bit. I even shed a few stress-induced tears about an hour ago. I'm mostly worried about the first couple weeks, during which I am expected to find my way around both Edinburgh and Glasgow while toting around all my belongings, which are apparently supposed to all fit in one duffel bag and a backpacking backpack. Once I am settled into my accommodations in Glasgow, everything will be okay. But getting there is going to be crazy.

Wow. Still can't believe I'm going.

HEY! Happy Birthday to the very lovely thereisnosp00n, one of the coolest people I've never met that I've ever met. :D Did that make sense? Think about it. I was going to make some kind of neato photoshop manip involving her but it slipped my mind and I am at a loss for ideas right now. So Andrea, I.O.U. one super cool picture involving you and the lover/setting/whatever of your choice. (Note: If it involves LOST, I'll probably do a better job being creative just since I know it so well.)

Now, instead of reading for class, I am going to read through my EAP student's guides in order to avoid more crying.
