Ohmy god. Salt and gum is BRILLIANT! Why hasn't anyone thought of this before? (((Because it's really really not a good idea, at all.)))
2013:
Man, eight really is a wonderful number for dancing, just because how cleanly it divides up. Imagine what it would be like to try and figure dance with a prime number of people or sets.
2143:
Tell All The Truth But Tell it Slant may be my favourite Emily Dickenson poem.
Also, I can't read her poetry seriously, because something like 75% of everything she writes scans perfectly with the gilligans island theme song.
Alsoalso, it's interesting to note that I've never seen Gilligans Island, but I can get the song stuck in my head. I've heard it surmised that that particular tune is one we're born with, and I'm kinda inclined to agree.
2158:
Bytheway, JannyBlue, do you know that Randy Milholland apparently thinks you're married to Rob? He mentioned something in a newspost about Rob's wife bringing him cherry vanilla doctor pepper. It made me go all "...DUDE!"
I think that makes three of my friends having been mentioned in the liner notes of webcomics I read. Fuck you all. (Four, if you count the fact that Randy tossed the line "eat a bag of dicks" out there as an in-joke towards Spence.)

I apparently can't hear the song "The Blue Danube" without adding the lyrics from an old Nickolodian commercial that used the tune. Only I can't remember them all. Which makes it difficult, really.

...damnit, I just forgot what I was going to say here.
Oh! Just that it's really quite weird to read webcomics by staying up until their posted as opposed to having them posted while you sleep. xkcd is about the only one I do this consistently with, but still, it's *weird!*
0015
I need a machine that shocks me every time I get distracted. C'mon now, it would be *damn* effective. Anyone want to come poke me with a taser repeatedly?
Also, I now have the Ballad of Sweeney Todd stuck in my head. This is your fault, Kat.
Alsoalso, in regards to the previous point, xkcd has blown my mind. I really have no idea what to think. On the one hand, you are playing the game. On the other, Randall Munroe is god, and his word is infallible. I'm doomed.

G'morning everyone. The third of March appears to be a good day, even if I have the MST3K theme song stuck in my head. I suppose it's *kinda* my fault for watching it repeatedly on YouTube (imagine her glee when she learns there are other parts of MST3K out there, like, say, whole episodes!) but I maintain that, in the purposes of good geekdom, it is a song I must know.
It's easier to learn songs when I'm only trying to learn one of them at a time. *shakesfist at 'Green Green Dress', which is making me want to draw porn, fuckit, what is *wrong* with me*
Anyways. I have cupcakes to eat and papers to print. Ta!

| So, the always beautiful and clever Liam! has decided to restart his "Random Questions Meme". It's a pretty nice little meme, I totally reccomend going off and doing it. Now I say. Now!
( The Random Question Meme! )
In other news, I may need to make an elljay account where I friend everyone I actually care about and read and not bother with the communities or characters or people who haven't posted in the last eight years or whatever.
Ta!

For years and years, I was always the sane kid.
Me and Nik and Aly are all three little fuck-ups, in a lot of the same ways. But time went on, and things happened for them that never seemed to need to happen for me --Aly got diagnosed with ADD, Nik got tested, both of them came out the better for the expirience.
Eleventh grade, I was barely holding on to that sanity. Somewhere in the middle of the year, it all seemed to snap away, and I had my first (and worst) panic attack. I broke down, in the middle of history class, in the middle of a *test* and eventually left early. For a couple months, I had been visiting Mrs. Kamerman, my guidance counselor, just for an hour or so every week or two. Talk things out, rant about the stuff that sucked, the stuff that didn't suck. It was a continuation from the year before, tenth grade, when things were *really* bad for me, and having someone to talk to was just really really good.
But I broke down. I didn't know what else to do, I left class and walked down to the guidance office, both crying and pretending I wasn't. I sat on her floor --I always sat on the floor, never in a chair-- and sobbed, while she called my mom, to get me out of school. She sat with me and helped me through the worst of the attack.
At her reccomendation, that was the start of my actual therapy, Thursdays after school, just talking to -how'd Mad Magazine put it?- at least one adult who didn't treat me like a stupid kid. I stopped going to see Miss Kamerman as often, even though I felt she understood some of my weirdness better.
The actual therepy led to actual testing, and in February 2006, I was diagnosed with ADHD --one of the better things to ever happen to me. I call starting my meds, and being able to begin to get a handle on myself the second best thing to ever happen to me. It's probably close to true.
Miss Kamerman died early this morning, from complications involved with a stroke. She helped me through the worst of high school, and was the only adult in the school willing to step up and take the role of advisor for the Day-Straight Alliance. That's how I remember her, as fighting for us and our rights, and for taking care of me.
May the gods of her choosing bless her.

I'm in...a weird place right now. I wandered through my last class, and through hanging out with Kelsey and Lezzie-Beth, laughing and pretending all was right in the world, while on the edges of my mind, there's just this tremendous sense of loss.
Please forgive me if I'm more emo than usual over the next few days.
