(1 felt it in their fingers | i feel it in my toes!) making lists is an unsubtle way to exercize control over my frustrating, jobless life [02 May 2004|01:33am] Things that I have been looking forward to for a long time, that I am now unable to do because I'll be living at home. indefinitely. Lack of privacy, lack of say over the household decisions, and just the pressing urge to behave when my parents are around are ruining my plans for the future. decorating not having to hide things from my parents buying furniture myself for once (i mean, couldn't my parents even freaking let me pick out my mattress myself? installing household necessities... like TiVo singing out loud having a nice spacious desk, where I can actually work HIGH SPEED INTERNET, HOW WILL I LIVE WITHOUT YOU? sigh.... i'm just so lethargic when i'm at home. i have no responsibilities, and no reason to get up early. even when i set goals for myself, they just never get met. i can't find the motivation. even though i laze around at school a lot, it's a much more energetic sort of laze. i'm just afraid of going home and never accomplishing anything.

(1 felt it in their fingers | i feel it in my toes!) [27 Apr 2004|03:40am] mysteries 1. why i'm apparently unable to take out the trash, there are bags and bags and it's getting gross 2. why i used to LOVE mashed potatoes (say, even a few months ago) but now just thinking about them makes me lose my appetite. especially with gravy. ugh. 3. why i just don't get a haircut, already 4. carrots. i like how their mouths look like candy corn. but i don't like candy corn. 5. why magic markers are so freaking fun. i am making those fortune tellers (2! 1..2.....GREEN!! G..R..E..E..N..) but i keep ruining them because everything i start i just end up coloring whole sheets of paper with marker i'm graduating in about 3 weeks and it's scary. and such a relief. also i've been thinking the words "even stevens" as i type.

(1 felt it in their fingers | i feel it in my toes!) [01 Feb 2004|01:34am] [ mood | lethargic ] ( States I've visited in the US ) Hmm, it doesn't seem like much, looking at the picture. But, I'm only counting states that I visited people or places in. But counting ones that I've driven through, I'd get the entire east coast, and a bit more around Ohio. ( And countries I've visited. Man... this is sad ) Wow.... um... it really felt like I had visited more than that. :( Time to start saving up for some plane tickets. maps are fun.

(1 felt it in their fingers | i feel it in my toes!) catching my breath [05 Dec 2003|07:30pm] [ mood | nerdy ] only have two projects and one more paper and one final left - YES also: am learning JSP am very excited. :)

(1 felt it in their fingers | i feel it in my toes!) and isn't it awful when you hate your friends and you don't want to? [02 Dec 2003|02:03am] [ mood | exhausted ] thanksgiving was okay. not much to say about it. christmas break in 12 days. home is boring. there's a 2 day extension on networks. i don't want to work on this anymore. i'm just so tired of this class, i don't know what to do with it anymore. i need: some help on hw and a job and someone to clean out my fridge and i can't think of anything to end this entry with

(1 felt it in their fingers | i feel it in my toes!) netsucks [23 Nov 2003|02:48pm] [ mood | enraged ] networks = sucks suckworks i HATE when i do a good job like really almost perfect, right? and then there's all this course bullshit, like "oh you didn't realize this problem until blah and then even though it was just blah i'm afraid penalty is unavoidable" so in a nutshell: 20% OFF???? WTF?? no way i'm taking that shit >:O

(2 felt it in their fingers | i feel it in my toes!) i haven't updated in a bajillion years [12 Nov 2003|02:11am] [ mood | sore ] i'm updating because james tells me he reads my thing, and i haven't been updating and it's really a dilemma. um.......... there's really nothing going on in my life. i work on networks, i stop working on networks. i work on other stuff, i work on networks. i apply for jobs. oh, okay. so i've been applying for jobs, and it's frustrating and not really that much fun. i had an interview in new york last week. went really well, i think, but probably not the job for me. (though i'd still like them to OFFER it to me). i'd complain about it, but i'd rather get the job first. wait a couple weeks, and i'll bitch about it then :) I'd probably take the offer and do it well, but not happily. and i'm in jersey to interview this thursday and friday. i'm really thankful for the oppurtunity. or some shit like that. i dont' know, it's crazy inconvenient. skipping classes isn't usually a problem but for some reason, it is this week. but anyway, i know they're only hiring based on how big your boobs are. i've got it made. I'll just go buy a wonderbra and the companies will be lining up. ( chitra needs to stop making lists and get to work )

(1 felt it in their fingers | i feel it in my toes!) mixie [29 Oct 2003|03:00pm] [ mood | anxious ] yeah, i see people with that trick or treating thing, and it makes me sad because i don't have enough friends... *SNIFF* so i did the potions thing from the same site. that's more my bag, anyway. ( i'm made from murderers. yay for recycling )

(2 felt it in their fingers | i feel it in my toes!) school craziness [04 Oct 2003|12:46am] [ mood | working ] Sorry I haven't updated in so long, but it's really unlikely that I will for awhile, because school is so BORING and LAME AND BORIngLYLAME and keeping me much too busy. so i haven't got much to say. my paid account is expiring in like 5 days, i'm sad. i can't redesign my livejournal anymore :( Alright, so that's it. IM me or something, cause I can't think of anything when I'm trying to do update.

(1 felt it in their fingers | i feel it in my toes!) itching [15 Sep 2003|01:22am] [ mood | cranky ] my ear itches and my life is so UNEVENTFUL, sympathize with me. i should start my job search; the job search is not starting. i am too young to grow up and get a job :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( when did i get so old and wrinkly?

(1 felt it in their fingers | i feel it in my toes!) ammmmmmmmmlazy [08 Sep 2003|10:03pm] [ mood | tired ] i am feeling so lazzzzzzzy and i don't have time/inclination to update my freaking livejournal. stupid livejournal. they should call you "stupidjournal". blah. anyway, school's okay, i guess. uneventful. i am NOT complaining about my programming class, this is such a crazy change of pace. katie (not the katie i hate. another katie) and i are doing pretty well (i think, i hope). having a partner is good. i've been eating all this garbage though. very unhealthy. okay, so the new plan is never eat so that when i come home i can go out to eat all the time. i'll start the plan as soon as i finish these chocolate chip waffles.

(1 felt it in their fingers | i feel it in my toes!) inconveniences and want an lj? [04 Sep 2003|10:40am] Things that annoying me about cmu at the moment: changing the printer spoolers - the print queues aren't helpful anymore how i can't download x-windows because of my stupid IP address don't know whether to be scared by networks it's too hot or cold in classrooms how i typed this entry and it's so obnoxious and whiny. i shouldn't be such a baby. p.s. i'm not going to renew my paid account on livejournal, considering how little i update it at the moment. maybe i'll do it later. anyway, i don't know if my ability to make invitation codes for people dies out with my paid account. so, if you were thinking of starting one, let me know before (i think) october. anyway, as soon as possible.

(1 felt it in their fingers | i feel it in my toes!) school super excitement! [24 Aug 2003|11:43pm] [ mood | distressed ] am back at school. cannot believe it. I had to reinstall windows, so connie has graciously let me mooch off her mooched windows XP. So, I have to reinstall EVERYTHING, which is a pain, but XP is so much prettier. ooh, pretty pretty Yikes, I have so many scheduling issues, I must iron these out tomorrow morning. I've got my internet connection set up, but we only have a cable modem, not a hub as of yet, so only one of us can be hooked up at a time. ridiculoso! commiserations to me, I'm at SCHOOL !!!!!!! :(

(1 felt it in their fingers | i feel it in my toes!) [05 Aug 2003|12:02pm] [ mood | greedy ] going to my cousins engagement party in ohio this friday so i have to leave EARLY EARLY in the morning for it. this is going to suck because i'm stressed out and tired and won't know many people there except my cousins. of course, quite a few of my cousins will be there, so that should be okay. but i will look AWFUL, because we have to drive 9 hours to get there, and just get dressed and run to the party after we arrive, so i don't have time to get my hair done or anything :-/ also, i want a digital camera. how many times am i going to say this before i go buy one. hmm... maybe tonight i will just do it spur of the moment. things that i want that are too expensive to force my friends to buy for me: digicam wireless headphones this iQue gps/mapquest-ish device that i found that's so AWESOME CAR (pref. something shiny) $1000+ worth of cds and dvds and books that i have a list of somewhere bribe money for my CS professors next semester robot servant boyfriend robot boyfriend (to make the other jealous)

(3 felt it in their fingers | i feel it in my toes!) worky worky work [01 Aug 2003|12:05pm] [ mood | busy ] am slowing but surely figuring things out at work. keyword: SLOW also, i was at the dmv for an hour yesterday, getting a new license. i guess the picture doesn't look BAD, but i look old and round-faced. and uncomfortably like this old/round-faced person that's a family friend. weird. anyway, it's not a horrible picture, i guess. best i could hope for :) i am SO cold at work, i would complain but i think everyone else is temperate. my dad says i'm always cold because i'm overweight. but wouldn't fat people get HOT more easily? obviously, i'm not fat enough. i think i need to eat more cake. the fat-ful kind of cake. about 7 days left of work. THANK GOD

(3 felt it in their fingers | i feel it in my toes!) yay for the magic of movies! [31 Jul 2003|04:37pm] [ mood | cold ] finally got a picture from the leaky cauldron of sirius, et al in the shrieking shack. click me for picture delightment! ewwwwwwww...lupin looks like ass. hope that's not his perpetual expression. but i suppose it's the full moon so he's not at his best. but sirius looks wonderfully scary. go to the leaky cauldron! there are more pictures here and here! http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org

(1 felt it in their fingers | i feel it in my toes!) at work, NOT listening to music :( [30 Jul 2003|09:33am] [ mood | anxious ] yay, i got the cd's that i ordered before! i was so thrilled with my choices that i ran around the house twice biting into my eight stacked cd's as if they were a sandwich. then i got lectured by my dad for ordering cd's instead of reading the CS textbook that i ordered. oh well... i also started replaying secret of mana on super nintendo, because that's the only RPG i could find that i couldn't remember every story detail too. I feel really lame when I'm playing it because it's so easy, but I used to have so many problems with it. However, that was because I never used to FIGHT anything, I would always run away or avoid enemies, so I never built up my levels. But now that I actually do things the way I'm supposed to, it's ridiculously easy and I have crazy amounts of money ... i wish that was true about real life :(

(1 felt it in their fingers | i feel it in my toes!) not that any of these will actually happen... [28 Jul 2003|12:46pm] [ mood | busy ] Things that, if I actually decided to do them, I need to do before I'm thirty, because if I do them after, it would make me look super-lame dye my hair an unnatural color be any sort of professional musician go to mardi gras in new orleans sleep around run for political office for the first time get married (at least in the perceptions of my family) learn to surf ride a mechanical bull go to disneyworld without any children/younger cousins be amazingly buff go out with hot college boys use weird-looking feathery pens own a cat learn to make pottery and be referred to as "that girl in her twenties who does pottery"

(6 felt it in their fingers | i feel it in my toes!) ======================O!! [23 Jul 2003|10:19am] [ mood | listless ] i went to the-leaky-cauldron.org for the first time in days, and what should i see but i picture of two fans with ron, alan rickman, and GARY OLDMAN AS SIRIUS BLACK [The picture was taken down from their site because Warner Brothers asked nicely] it looks good! a little more tattoed than i hoped, but at least he suggests emaciated (and i did picture him as skeleton-esque). gary oldman will make an awesome sirius, i think. he's very villiany. as far as my life goes, i ate some strawberry & cream cheese pop tarts and i'm annoyed with my mom

(3 felt it in their fingers | i feel it in my toes!) hmm............. what day could it POSSIBLY be??? [17 Jul 2003|10:03am] [ mood | loved ] My parents surprised me with 21 roses and this HUGE harry potter balloon that's really like 5 square mylar balloons. The balloon was weird (although i really really like it). But the whole thing was REALLY REALLY sweet, and i love my mommy and daddy and i can't believe they spent money on this crap for me but it made me really happy. :)))))))))))
