Not much to report. In STL. Haven't done anything yet. Tron was meh. Going out now.

Entry 21

I'm procrastinating before cranking out the rest of my MilSci Final. I've got about two minutes left before my designated "do this crap" time. I really should have been doing it all along. The entire final basically consists of "you're now an officer in a unit. What do you do? OK, now throw this curveball at you, now this one, and this one and this one, WOOPS you've been shipped out, now do this mission and this patrol and this mission, curveball, curveball, sinker, slider, curveball. You're done."

The night was dull; got back and turned on a movie, only to fall asleep in the middle of it.

Found a new profile picture this morning, haha.

Still considering different things to help everyone out. I'll see how the department looks when I turn in my final today, so I can get the last bit of data and gauge the level of intensity and clarity everyone has.

I'm hopefully getting out of dodge today. Might be taking Mari back into St Louis with me, which would be nice because then I'd have some gas money hopefully.

Alright, time to get this done,
Angel.

Entry 20

I just got back from CH's place. It was actually an enjoyable time. CH himself was blitzed, so it was amusing to see him interact with his girlfriend PK.

LS and I are actually getting along extremely well nowadays. He's a more cynical version of me to an extent; yes children, that is possible. Where as I keep the hope that someone will work out well, and plan for the worst, he just expects the worst and doesn't get any joy out of anything else. He's a good guy though, very observant as well.

We got some embarrassing information out of BL tonight. It's both amusing and sad. I liked her a bit, so to hear her act kind of ashamed about sleeping with one of the other cadets was upsetting, but that's how that kind of thing works.

It's good to see everyone else outside of a professional atmosphere though, because half these people have social lives just as screwed up as mine ;)
And THEY don't have a kitten to play with, so I am slightly better off.

Well, I'm going to try and sleep. Keep it classy folks,
Angel

Maes Hughes is Roy Mustang's confidant and the caretaker for the Elric Brothers. He was murdered the evening prior. This is his funeral.
This clip is what I was talking about to those that it applies to.

Interlude 5

The cat and I are at war. He needs to learn to be alone for a bit without crying, or to sleep longer. I cannot keep waking up at 3am to move him to my room, and then at listen to him meow for hours and hours. I'm going to go crazy. I didn't even try to get back to sleep today, hence why I'm up at 0640 on my first Monday in a LONG time in which I didn't have PT.


Basically this morning I had a friend send me like a bagillion sad pictures. Thank you mam, but you, faithful readers, will only get the cream of the crop.




I hope this expands when I upload it, because it doesn't really do it justice in the small format. It's just a very very sad and cute picture, it makes me cry a little. Kinda says something, that picture.

This picture is so telling that it's not even funny. He (I imagine) is just protecting her (once again, just guessing) from the highway traffic. He probably doesn't even understand that she's dead, all he knows is that she's there and not moving and these things can hurt her, and no one is going to get near. He always stands in the way of the cars, never on the far side.
And what are people doing? Taking pictures. They don't even stop the traffic for just a moment of decency to get them out of the way. They can't get them to safety. No, they take pictures.
I hate people, I really do.
Yay for hopeful kitty!

I've got a few more, but that's all for now,
Angel

Interlude 4

I get a redo, right? I get to start over? Just hit the reset button and load from a different save point? I get to try again, and do things just a little differently? I don't want to step on butterflies, I just want to tweak like three moments. Change those, and maybe, just maybe it would all be different? Please?

Entry 19

It's almost comical how that storm basically just ignored the town on its way through, at least for the snow part. It hit the borders and just dissipated.

Welcome to 3:40 posting, my faithful four readers. I've been up for an hour, just trying to get back to sleep; it's not working obviously. But I've got a playlist of melancholy music to listen to until I feel like going unconscious and hallucinating for a while.

I had fun today, but things like that can only be few and far between for reasons already noted to the individual. Both looking for different things out of that relationship, and the whole Sid and Nancy thing because of it will end us up... well, probably like Sid and Nancy. So that's not ideal.

There's a kitten leaned up against me currently. We tried sleeping in the same room tonight; he snuggled up against me and it worked well for the first four or so hours. But the wind woke one or both of us up which has ended up unfortunate. Can't blame him for that though. He's become quite the well mannered kitty, outside of the occasional "I'mma batshit crazy and gonna jump on everything and knock crap over," fit. Hopefully it goes over well when I bring him home.

The Road is very very good, but also very very sad. I also figured out why I have such conflicting views on movies with a lot of people. I'm pretty used to things sucking in general, so if I'm looking for escapism under the guise of a movie, I'm not opposed to a sad movie. At least it's not my life that is sad at that point, but someone else's. Yay for schadenfreude, and yes my computer does thinks that word is spelled wrong. What I'm getting at is that I'm actually pretty ok with being sad, and thus I enjoy movie that aren't necessarily happy, where as most people detest being sad and thus don't like these movies. On that note, they should never see The Road, because it is incredibly sad.

Gonna try and sleep,
Angel
