Well, I made a stupid mistake and searched for Dumbledore quotes to put on my beautiful new laptop and ended up sobbing my eyes out.... July 15th is going to be a teary night....

So the prompts for the fanfiction carnival I'm in go up tonight around midnight. Which means I'll be thinking of little dribbles and drabbles to write on the train ride to CHICAGO!

Zach and I are headed to Chicago tomorrow. We bought tickets for the Harry Potter Exhibition (which, all in all, was much less expensive than Azkatraz) for tomorrow, and I'm pretty psyched. We've got a pretty loose schedule in mind. I'm thinking something like the following:

Morning ish- Lincoln Park (Zoo and fun boutique stores and such)
Lunch ish- Ed Debevic's
Afternoon ish- Lego and Popcorn Stores
Evening (5:15 Central Time)- HPE at Museum of Science and Industry
Night- On the road

Hoo man, Azkatraz looks sweet. http://www.hp2009.org Liane will probably be back in San Fransisco by then. Maybe I can bribe her to go and get me some pictures........  plotplotplot

South Dakota is a very wide state when your Grandparents only drive 60 miles per hour.

Crap, I've got to get off iTunes. I'm spending too much money. I just bought this Sondre Lerche album because I couldn't get the one songs without buying the whole disc. Fine.

So I just bought the following from iTunes (yes, legally):
"Glittering Clouds" Imogen Heap
"Love Letter to Japan" The Bird and the Bee
"Stronger" Kanye West (don't judge me!! lol--it's a great dance song)

Okay, so Imogen Heap is amazing. 
Glittering Cloud is beautiful! I can't stop listening to it....
go go faster wider
more more get it down ya

Current song stuck in my head:
"Love Letter to Japan" by Bird and the Bee

Yes, it's amazing.

Yessssssss!!! Next-gen Harry Potter slash carnival coming up!!! 
http://community.livejournal.com/ass_carnival/62845.html

I love Elftown.

So it's 5:30 in the morning in Vegas, 8:30 in Michigan, and I'm leaving for the airport in about 15 minutes. The flight to Bozeman, Montana is 2 hours long. I'll be there until I think the 31st of May/1st of June-ish, and then it's a 5-day drive back home. I don't want to leave Vegas, naturally, seeing as it's my favorite city in the world. There's so much to do here! And, of course, Dad's here. Montana should be fun, though. I haven't seen this part of my family for years.

I just wish they could come down here. Maybe Devan can do a real quick transfer and graduate from Vegas! It's a good idea, no?  =P

Well, my last post got lost due to crappy IE here, but let me recap.
I am UBER psyched for the Ass carnival this summer, which will be running hopefully starting June 1st. SUPER pumped. SUPER!

For anyone interested in fun fanfiction games over the summer, here is the link:
http://community.livejournal.com/ass_carnival/

Participants can subject art and fic based on the given challenges. The ship is Albus Potter/Scorpius.

I am SOOOO happy!

Well, I did it.
I posted the old fics I wrote for the carnival last summer to my ff.net account. And cleaned out all my other stuff.

I sincerely hope they'll do the carnival again this year.

My goal for the day:
do not log on to facebook.


for an entire day.


I'm detoxing, you know?
(that was a lie)

I have $22.61 in my checking account.




I may have to work on not spending so much.

Well, darn it.



That's what I had typed in the entry box from hours ago.
But, the trouble is, I don't remember what I was darning.

So it's a sad morning, following a depressing dream. But the sun is (like always in Vegas) shining, and that's nice.

I really screwed things up with Armstead. I didn't think so when I was in high school. But he was a huge part of my life. And I don't have that anymore.

=) I keep resolving to e-mail him. I can't even get to Yahoo before I lose my nerve. I'm a wimp. 

So where did this litle melancholy come from, hmm?

Them good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye...

Zach should be back in Michigan now. 
List for today:
Laundry
Finish book
Buy new book

Zach and I walked to the comic book store today and I actually bought something. Fantastic. o.O
Then we went to the $3 movie theatre and wanted to see Paul Blart, but the AC was broken in that one, so we saw Escape to Witch Mountain, which wasn't that bad. I absolutely adore the older films, and I wasn't totally disgusted with this one except for the one shot where the Las Vegas strip was pretty much completely deserted; that never happens.

Anyway, Dad called around 11:30 while we were waiting for the movie to start and told us we'd be going to see the Lion King tonight.........
......
Frickin fantastic. This is a good link to a picture of the auditorium at Mandalay Bay:  http://www.mandalaybay.com/entertainment/eventcalendar.aspx

I love this city. Zach's mom wrote him via facebook reminding him not to get married, and I really want him to reply somewhat like "Oh, well....you should have told me earlier you didn't want Adriane as a daughter-in-law..."
=D

Anyway, I'm sweating in places I didn't know my body had...so.... I'm going to go attack the air vent. <3
