I have been crossposting this everywhere though, so I might as well cross post here:

Hi, I am an anthropology major who is doing a research project on Harry Potter Language and Culture and how it is used to create real world identity (because I am a massive nerd), and I created this (kind of long) survey to help me obtain data on the topic. It would be really awesome if you took the survey and helped me out!!

Here it is: http://www.surveybuilder.com/s/LIroYgs0QAA?source_id=3&source_type=web

Thanks for your time! :DD

welp I no longer really keep up with LJ, i am now at tumblr, find me here http://charm-quark.tumblr.com/ :DD

AHHHHHH physics test!!!!!!

that is all

and wooooo new doctor who!!!

not going to lie, I am a bit disappointed that I am not studying abroad this summer, but it would have been hard especially with mom, oh well, always next year

:/

wow summer has been flying by hasn't it? I haven't done much XD really, this first sentence is a saved draft from a week ago

:(

oh well, but I can't really say that it was a complete bore of a month, I did see amanda palmer and regina spektor in concert, and they were both amazing.

but other than that i worked, watched a fuck load of csi, read a lot of books (did a tamora pierce marathon) but i wasn't on the internet at all actually, which was strange (also the reason i forgot to renew my paid account opps), and did what i do every summer, restart a pokemon game, i restarted diamond and im making good progress

i have actually mind written some stuff at work, whole big rants about what ever is on my mind but i never have the energy to write them out when i am actually at my computer (like right now) ah well, those thought will get out one day.

GUESS WHO GOT BLINK 182 TIX FOR AUGUST, AND THEY ARE FUCKING AWESOME SEATS!!!!! \\\\\O///// i am obscenely excited about this concert.

oh hey guess who lives, kakashi, i knew it!!!! i hate the fact that danzo is now hokage, but i knew something like that was going to happen and the whole world is going to go to hell, as long as kakashi lives, i am looking forward to it.

I am also looking forward to harry potter 6!!!! its in like 20 days or something? but anyway i am going to try for a midnight show, and its going to be great.

so hey, i might have saw that new movie that was out, maybe you have heard of it, it's called star trek, and IT WAS EPIC!!!!!!!!!

EPIC x 1000!!

proper udate next week after finals are over, and sorry for being absent but this semester was the semester from hell and it was kicking my ass, but its last kick is this week and after that im free!!!!

here's a quick summary of what i did when i was procrastinating instead of studying:
-went to the bamboozle in new jersey to see fall out boy, cobra starship, all time low, and bayside, and it was amazing!
-waved to pete wentz as he was driving away on a golf cart and he waved back
-finsihed/caught up full metal alchemist the manga and omg when is the next chapter coming out???
-GOT A B ON A CHEM TEST!!! THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE!!!
-found a apartment to live in in new paltz, so excitited for next year, eeee!!!

proper update/come back soon!

Well, my trip to new paltz was quite interesting, to say the least XD. Getting there took far to long because of traffic in the bronx and my stomach was in knots because my dad gets neurotic while driving and is on edge, and my brother was not helping the situation by bouncing around and being generally annoying. But we got there, and ugh I wish my mom can walk normal I really do (for those who don't know my mom now walks with a limp because of a reaccurance of her cancer, it is all around a not fun thing) so she was pissed that there were hills and stairs and that they were kinda unorginaized. But we got the info we needed and my family evantually calmed down.

I looked at three apartments (well rooms to rent within houses) cause no transfer students can dorm cuase there is no room. The first house was nice, the girls seemed friendly, but it gave a very blah impression. The second house gave off a prison vibe :\ it was not a pleasent looking and feeling place. The third house was fabulous, the rooms were painted in bright colors and the girls living there were bouncy and happy and and they had cats and I LOVE cats, and yeah I am going to try to live there it was just that great, the only fly in the ointment is that they don't have a washer and dryer but ah well, I can walk XD

So my trip was informative and prductive yeah! Also I am so jealous of their chem labs they have all new things and its so shiny and white and does not look like a 1970s bomb shelter (im looking at you stony brook) so all in all I was very happy with the place.

I went to the metropolitan museum of art yesterday by myself (no one had off or wanted to go with me :( ) and it was great fun, I was meander with me ipod and I made up stories for the painting and sculptures and I read all the placards, it wasn't so bad by myself. After I went to this great japanese bookstore in bryant park and spent a happy hour there I just wish I had more money to spend XD but I bought the latest naruto in english and the latest oofuri in japanese (im going to try to translate it myself...this is not going to end well)

And I bought the avatar s3 boxset, so that's what im going to marathon for the rest of my spring break.

new cobra star ship song if any one is interested

pete wentz is the only reason were famous -cobra starship

its neato! i can't wait for their new album, and I am so excited to see them at the bamboozle in may!

hmm i should get me a cobra icon, but this one is appropriate to XD

goodness gracious school has been teh suck lately. I barely have enough time to check my email because i have to type up another lab report or an essay or study for an exam T_T

but grade wise i think im doing okay, i think XD

i am way chipper and energized right now, i think it is because i took that half hour walk around campus, i must say the weather has been completely lovely (except for last nights random thunder and lightening) but i complelety suck at determining temperature before i go out so i have been boiling in my winter coat all week, because i am terminally stupid and can't take a weather hint XD

lol i got way too excited cleaning my room this weekend, i actually squealed with joy at the prospect of being able to stand directly in front of my bookshelf, a feat i haven't done in at least 5 years, no lie XD, and then i proceeded to read the books i couldn't see during that time XD, ah abhorsen trilogy by garth nix, old friend i have missed you.

spring break next week, not doing anything too exciting, except going to visit MY NEW COLLEGE~~ cause i am now transferring out of stony brook good riddance to bad rubbish i am going to go to new paltz a loverly school about 2 hours-ish away from home, and since i am a transfer student there is no housing for me T_T so i am going to have to find an apartment and live off campus

well....that should be fun

actually i am kinda excited at the prospect at having my own kitchen (!!!!!) but i am a bit terrified at the idea of securing an apartment and finding a room mate, damn you social anxieties damn you to hell, hopefully i'll get it all figured out by the time i go there XD

but other than that, i think i will spend break time mainlining S3 of avatar and catching up on manga (LIKE BLEACH omg i am like 200 chaps behind *wails* i miss my big sword toting strawberry), and ooo the last chapter of naruto, i can't wait for this battle to finally be over, it was kinda boring, the only exciting thing was the bit with hinata and then the yondaime thing

( whiny manga and music impatientnessCollapse )

well, i was a chatty cathy today XD, i think it's the keyboard, i type longer on the standard desktop jobbies, i type kinda eh~ on my laptop, that's kinda weird actually know that i think about it XD

i don't know how anyone can hate snow when it can give you a snow day, mmm sleeping in till noon yesterday was very pleasant:D, but walking around in 7 inches of snow is kinda tiring :/

i have a raging case of the februaries and just feel like crawling into a corner, building a pillow fort, and surrounding myself with books and never leaving, which is basically what i am doing, except not in a corner XD, and the only good thing about this is i am making a dent in my too read list, and i finally bought 'The mists of avalon" which i have been meaning to buy for ages since i have an epic love if Arthurian legend, i am only 50 pages in (out of like 880 :O) and i am loving it so far

my computer is still giving me epic issues, i have no idea why it is always getting in danger of overheating, maybe its the fan, maybe i should get that checked out soon before my hard drive melts

so hey the watchmen movie is coming out on friday, AND I AM EXCITED :DD!! who else is bouncing in glee for this?

I took my first test of the semester last week in organic chemistry and i am too chicken to look up my grade, i used to be on the website the second the grades went up, but so many bad chem grades have broken my spirit XD

i have watched an obscene amount of tv lately, i am half way through the second season of torchwood, and various eps of doctor who, and haven't gotten into merlin (the new bbc series) it is epically lolzy and kinda gay :D, it so doesn't follow the legend at all but i don't really care
