Hey world? Stop turning for a few hours, so I can get some more sleep.

From Metaquotes (by way of misscam and tryell:

"Al Qaeda says: 'Britain is now burning with fear, terror and panic in its northern, southern, eastern, and western quarters.' Bitch, please. Osama, you live in a fucking cave. You're like an evil Batman or something. No wonder you have a thing for blowing up commuters, because you will never commute because you live in a cave. You see transport, and you are filled with rage, because you? Live in a cave. You could try forming a political wing to... oh, wait, you can't because YOU LIVE IN A CAVE. Twat.

The BBC paused news coverage to show *Eastenders*. That'd be the nationwide fear, terror and panic, then."

I love the British. And I am so a sucker for Eastenders, even though I usually have no idea what's going on and can't make out what they're saying half the time since the mics they use pick up background noise.

Also, yay for the British not being drama queens like Americans generally are. <3 London!

...

I am exhausted and very upset right now. Exhausted because I took two Benadryl and went to bed at midnight- wooooo six hours of sleep. Very upset because I tried to buy a pair of cargo pants online and the only size left that they have available is a 0.

Cargo pants are stupidly hard to locate when they're out of style. WTF, retailers? Why are you trying to torture me? Don't you know that my only pair of cargo pants has a huge rip in them?

...

I'm also very overwhelmed. Overwhelmed because there really isn't any way for me to move out, financially speaking... Technically, I could do rent no problem, but the more I think about it, the less the whole thing seems to work. Namely because even though I'll have a job to pay for stuff, I'm still taking an insane, full time course load- and this leaves for how many hours? And the jobs around here suck. Unless I can take out an extra loan or something, maybe. I have to save for Jeannette's wedding, too. Which wouldn't be too bad, except I have to save enough for four plane tickets, hotel, car rental, blah blah blah.

However, I can't stay here. That's not going to work at all. I am not going out of my mind like I have the past two semesters, with trying to stay on top of everything with a dementedly limited commuting schedule. I told Mom yesterday that if I'm going to stay here, I'm going to need a heavy mix of ritalin and zoloft just to stay sane and focused. Besides, I'll be gone all the time anyway.

I think I'm just exhausted by the thought of work and school and studying, all at the same time. Because that's all that I'm going to be doing. Working and studying. At home, all I do is commute and study. So it's really like trading off one evil for another, and that's fine. But throw in getting to Arizona on top of it all, and I'm a nervous wreck. A nervous wreck with no social life, lol.

I wish my brain would stop thinking and being generally pessimistic for like, two seconds. Cargo pants would help, but there are none, dammit.

I love the fact that the British are make tea icons already.

Dear Brits, I love you so. Dear Osama, choke on a biscuit already.

Because I try to help in anyway I can :)

Are you working tomorrow? Because if you're not, you should come to WalMart with me and my mum and help me pick out a rocking chair. And possibly other baby stuff because my mum has been on this big spending kick when it comes to the baby...not that I'm complaining, lol

Hmm, thanks!

And, you know, I wasn't working, buuuut... seeing as how it's Sunday, I'm guessing that I missed my window. I'm sorry, mija. *shakes fist in Quinn's general direction for tiring me out, and thus removing my motivation to turn on the computer at all yesterday*

[insaneartgurl.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, t'was a fruitless exercise anyway. Walmart and Target apparently don't carry rocking chairs in their actual stores; just online.

Anyway...call me sometime this week, we can arrange girly frolicking-type activities.

[nirix5.livejournal.com]

Yay girly frolicking type activities!!!

Hey, you got my ghetto LJ comment RSVP, right?

[insaneartgurl.livejournal.com]

Yuppers.

It is impressive - even that afternoon after the bombs went off parts of the centre of London were getting back to normal, with people going about their daily business just like any other day. Londoners are so used to terrorism because of the IRA that they aren't as easily intimidated by it as other cities may be. The emergency services were well prepared for it too, we were all expecting it to happen sooner or later :/

The freaky thing was, my alarm clock ran out of batteries that day so I slept through it all! I wouldn't have been directly effected by the bombs though anyway.

[nirix5.livejournal.com]

Bah. Terrorism, it's kind of dumb.

While I am very glad that you wouldn't have been affected by the bombings anyway, I'm doubly glad that your alarm didn't go off. So not only did you not get blown up, you got enough sleep. Yay for sleeping.

*hugs and is happy that you're okay*
