As enacted by Renee and I in the theater while she painted and I watched her from the balcony:
"Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?"
"I'm right here!  What dost thou want?"
"I want you to come up here."
"I'm sorry dear, I'm painting."
"You're always painting!"
"Your father said I had to work seven years to earn your hand in marriage."
"That's a different story."
*giggle*
"Don't listen to my father, he's trying to trick you.  He'll just have you marry my sister."
"And then I'll have to work another seven years."
"Yeah, pretty much."

When the dark melancholy of clouds approach from The West, I watch college humor videos.  Because they brighten my dreary days.  They also counter my senior project sapping my will to live.

This was the best Apple Day ever!!
Today I slept in (though my roommate's alarm went off at 5AM and 5:30 and sounded like someone screaming....), and did absolutely no homework.  I went to brunch with the gang and got a crepe with fried apples on it and some pumpkin pancakes (they had this weird apple walnut syrup but it wasn't too bad).  And then I came back to the room and watched last night's House.

I bought a variety of de-stressing merchandise yesterday.  A stress ball (it's actually a "Down With Love" stress ball, it's the only kind they had), a wish token, a book on meditation (and one on Halloween), some tea, some aromatherapy soap, some moon drops (to help me sleep, so far no more nightmares), and a nice scarf with Ganesh and the Om symbol on it. 
Today we went to the library book sale and I got like 20-30 books for $3.  I was scoping for murder mysteries, but ended up getting some self-help and empowerment books as well.  I also picked up several books movies are based off of.  I have a weakness for those.  Cheap paperback murder mysteries are my biggest used book purchases generally; there was one point where I was browsing this section that was approximately half romance and half mystery (weird, I know) when I kept picking up romance books and putting them in disgust and all I could think was "I don't want romance, I want blood."  Which sounds pretty bad, I know but I want to point out that I prefer fun silly sorts of MMs to gory ones.  I did get one that is guaranteed to be gory though, but it was the only Laurence Block book I could find.  I love his Bernie Rhodenbarr series, they are my kind of murder mystery, but I've also picked up a Matthew Scudder mystery and it was unpleasantly gory but also strangely realistic and compelling.  I could see similarites in his writing style, but it was a completely different kind of book, even though it was also a murder mystery.  (The one I picked up was a Matthew Scudder).  So now I have some books to amuse me, which is good because I was getting desperate for distractions from my senior project.  I need silly mysteries to let my mind get tangled up in now and then.

1 Here's a silly mystery for you. Why do I keep having reallly really weird dreams that creep me the hell out? lol. That's a mystery. Btw, only like 24-25 days until your fall break starts . I can't wait for fall break....I miss you so damn much it's ridiculous. And we have no time to talk ever because we're both busy at different times and quite often at the same time. But we're both always busy. And it's completely awful.

2 Oh I have been having weird dreams, too.  I dreamt I was climbing a mountain with Renee and Molly and then my aunt and gramma and I were on a plane to somewhere and I dreamt dad called and said he changed his mind and that he would try to keep in touch with me better.

3 I had a dream that Kelli and I got one of our guy friends drunk and then he proceeded to write a letter declaring his love for me. And then sober he said he meant it all. I was like uhhhh I uhhhh have to think about this bye. Worst part, he's really really weird and Mel and I are pretty sure he's asexual. lol.

Yesterday we got to see Rachael!  Yay!  She left us with a memorable quote:
"That's not fair!  Your daddy doesn't sleep with you!!" 
Even in context it doesn't make much sense, but we enjoyed it nonetheless.
My senior project seems to be going well, but we all know how that goes.  So far I am doing four 30"x30" paintings, and twelve 9"x12" paintings.  My friends pick some interesting goddesses.  The smaller twelve haven't been finalized yet, but the larger four are definitely Selene, Hecate, Amaterasu, and Sinann.  All I do is work on painting...painting, research, sketching...it never ends.  Unless I stop to read ahead for OT.  That's fun.  I have also been working on stuff for my other class, but not much.  I probably should, I have a test next week.  Bleh.

Back at college...
It's really nice to see the gang again (we're a GANG not a PACK)!
Working on painting senior project (Selene, Hecate, Sinann, Amaterasu, possibly Mary)
Working on ceramics senior project (everyday objects like coffee cups and chess sets versus ceremonial ones like wedding goblets or funerary urns)
Sweating in the lack of AC
Trying to get over the haunting eeriness of my room
Reading, reading, reading
Making new playlists
Wondering if I'll ever get a roomie and whether or not I want one

Long story short:
Mom and Shu got in a fight over a box of cans
Mom said leave em Shu said take em
The box ended up on the ground
Mom and I got in the car to leave and Shu threw cans in the car, several of which hit me
Shu took the car keys
Mom and Shu got in a fight
Shu bit Mom's finger
We ended up at the hospital and my phone went dead
Cyndy picked us up
Mom is pressing charges

There were a lot more fight details...but those are the important parts

I have to get one of those heart monitor things put on for a day.
My health insurance has been canceled because I've reached the magic age of 21, and no amount of being in college is going to help me now.
My car still isn't fixed because I can't afford the parts.
Mom and I are fighting again because she blames everything on me.
I don't have a license, I don't have a car that will pass the inspection to get me a license, and my permit just expired so now I have to take the permit test again.
I have to visit my dad tomorrow and he is going to ask about all these things, to which his responses and superiority complex will drive my self esteem and hope further into the ground.
I haven't worked on any of the school related stuff I wanted to this summer, and I am running out of time and still have no motivation.
I am desperately trying to look on the bright side, but it is very difficult.
