Omg! Movie I've vaguely remembered for years and years and couldn't find the name to! Oh hai The Stuff (1985)!!!

In other news, I went to Noordwijk today to walk along the beach sidewalk. It was snowy and windy and cold but a fine enough time was had. I took my diary, Currently Reading book and Currently Writing fanfic, but didn't even take 'em out of the bag, as my plan of having a delightful coffee by the sea was canceled in favour of aimless walking.

Still worried about the ski trip, having just realized that it's not going to be just skiing but that extended events of social activities will take place. Tonight was the Rollerdisco event in Amsterdam that Willy'd invited me to, but seeing as she's in Kenya and I've no one to go with, and this is an Open to the City Event, rather than a Close Friends Event, and I'd rather not wander the empty streets of 'dam in the wee hours waiting for the elusive train, I'm not going. Which is fine.

About the job hunt, today was not involved in the proceedings. Dad's said that it would be cheaper if I moved back in with them, and while I agree with Mom that that wouldn't solve anything (also, I'd go insane), I still sometimes think that it might be good because then I'd have some sort of structure to my days and get more shit done than I'm getting done now.

Now I've got the Dollhouse finale to look forward to - and by gods, if anything happens to Topher, I will cut a bitch - and Nightmare on Elm Street 3. Le shiz.

I fear my mind's gone a bit funny. The Psyche (Old Post Explains All!) has now moved to a cafe where it's alternating between phone conversations, science-fail or fandom-fail rants, crying into its coffee, or trying to get the attention of X sitting at the neighboring table. There's been some success in the latter, but mainly just frustration and fail, and hey, at one point, there was some Random Shooter on Murderous Rampage, which wasn't cool (except Pysche got to not suck and be proactive, which I guess was the point). So I don't know what that says about me.


Meme - 30 Days - Day 07 → A photo that makes you happy: This was the second attempt to take a photo of the three of us. The first didn't work because I was too short to fit (although in my defense, the rock we were standing on dipped where I was standing). So here's the three of us, laughing at the first failed photo. It makes me happy because we were happy and it shows.

I'm jealous of the ski trip. I know if I were in your shoes I'd be freaking out over the socializing aspect too, but even though I only skiied a few times on elementary school trips (AND I SUCKED), I've wanted to do it again for awhile.

If I had friends willing to go out to a ski hill for a weekend, I'd be so there.

Also- that photo really IS very happy. You look like you're having the time of your life. :)

Oh sure, the ski trip sounds awesome in theory, but everything about it right now scare the shit out of me. I can only hope to meet nice friends with whom I can hand and that I have a good time. *crosses fingers* (And I've only skiied four times in my life, so I'm no expert either.)

*snuggles you*
