Because Blogger hates me.

If you've been wondering where I've been for almost a week, it's been due to my EXTREME stress these past few days. I've had so much work to do for classes, not to mention emotional issues still needing the kinks worked out, and therefore haven't had much time to do a whole hell of a lot else. I haven't even played D&D in weeks!! (I miss it so much *tear*)

There is one thing I've had time for, and that's playing Pokemon (still). I'm about 13 hours into Emerald, and it's really making me want to buy a DS Lite so's I can play on my own systems and not have to borrow from my roommate. Birthday present, perhaps...? XD

Random: My kitty is absolutely adorable. ^_^ She's been missing me a lot lately from what my parents tell me, and Mum says she hasn't been eating so well... *sadness* I don't want my kitty to waste away!! But she is almost fourteen years old, so...yeah...

One last thing-- I hate Kentucky/Southern Indiana weather. I hate it. Fuck you, Ohio Valley! You knock me down, over and over, and hit me around with allergies all year round! But I must be crazy, since I could have gone ANYWHERE for college, and where did I decide to go?? A college in fucking New Albany. And where do I want to go for grad school?? A college in Louisville. I must be insane. -___- Sheesh.

I just need to breathe...things have been hectic lately, and it's all in my mind. How ironic, neh? I long ago learned that I have almost no capacity to deal with stress, and yet I constantly create stress for myself out of...well, I don't even know what. Honestly, I have homework to do, I really ought to go to the library and return those freakin' books and get some new ones, and yet, I feel not at all compelled to do so. How lazy am I?! Maybe I just need a boost of concentration. Oh, ADHD, have you made me such a procrastinator that I can't even tell if it's your fault or mine anymore? Hahaaa, how pathetic.
I don't excuse my behavior by blaming it all on the disorder, though-- it was probably a part of me to begin with, but my little mental issue has most likely enhanced it -__- But there are one or two things I thank it for, one of them being my Hyperfocus Ability (lovely little unexpected perk, there), which gives me +2 to Concentration checks when it's a Favored Skill. (Yeah, nerdy talk. Deal with it.)
Okay, I think I have sufficient motivation to brave the cold and head over to the library. It'll give me something to do, anyways, so why the hell not? I might as well pack up my notebooks and make it an afternoon affair. XD Well, that is, after I get something more substantial to eat and charge up my iPod a little...oh, yeah, and I have to pick up my roommate's trombone...so dammit! Thwarted by outside factors once again! I will go to the library today, though, I swear. I've made my mind up about it. ^^
Damn...I still have homework for Honors to do, and an application for housing next year that I need to turn in...and I probably ought to make an appointment with Dr. Day about resuming counseling sessions... *sigh* So much to do!!!

Addendum: Just remembered that I'm gonna be over at the library tomorrow afternoon, so it'd be stupid to go today...*dumbass*

Let's try this again, shall we?

Okay, I've had this blog for a while, but was never really satisfied with it, so I'm starting anew. Same blog, different look, all new posts. It's AilithLite! DietBlog! Yeah, sorry, lame. Anyways, introductions are probably in order. I'm Lauren, but I go by Ailith, or Miho (although my gamer tag isn't any of those-- ha). Usually I'll just go by whatever suits me at the time. I'm a freshman/sophomore in college, majoring in Psychology. I'm a writer, an artist, and an all around crazy chick. I will give you a word of warning, though: The content of this blog contains foul language (unsuitable for young children), liberal points of view (unsuitable for staunch conservatives), psychological rants (unsuitable for Scientologists-- no offense, guys!--or people very firmly based in reality/normalcy), and/or unusual religious beliefs (unsuitable for fundamentalist *insert religion here*). ^_^ As long as we're clear on that, I think we can get along just fine.
Another thing: I'm diagnosed ADHD (13 years and counting), so I might tend to ramble or get a little metaphysical at times. Please understand that this is just how my mind works-- I can't help it, especially when I'm writing. Read enough of my blog, or anything else I write for that matter, and you'll (probably) get used to it. Heh.

Today was the first day back from our unexpected break last week-- my college pretty much says, 'We won't even close school if the apocalypse itself were upon us!' Yeah, we had four days canceled and one day of delay (Tuesday through Friday, and Saturday, respectively). You're funny, university! Very funny. I was going stir crazy there on Saturday after being trapped in this apartment (it's a dorm, but more like an apartment than traditional student housing on most campuses) for nearly a week! Ughh. Not so fun. I did get out of the building today, though, which was nice. Tons of snow and ice melting all around campus was not so nice, though. Just for reference, I live and go to school on two different sides of the Ohio River, and the side I live on was one of the hardest hit areas by the recent WINTER STORM OF '09. Yeah, glad I didn't decide to go home last weekend! My parents had no power all last week, but thankfully got it back on Sunday. I'll say this for my school: it may be small, and kinda boring at times, but damn if the power's not reliable. Even last fall when the WIND STORMS OF '08 knocked out power in this area for a week or two, it flickered here. That's it, that's all, and we were thankful. Yesh indeed we were.

So I have class in about an hour and a half...yeah, not fun. It's Astronomy, though, which I do enjoy, but...7:30-10:00?? What the hell was I thinking?! I wasn't, apparently, that's what that means. Ha! I guess I am kinda ridiculous. Oh, that's right-- I still have homework to do for tomorrow! Yeahhhh...that'll be done when I get back from class tonight. We're going to some planetarium at a HIGH SCHOOL an exit up the interstate, and I'm thinking...why the fuck does F---- C------ High School have a freaking -planetarium-? o.O Yeah, it makes no sense. But I like planetariums, so it should be pretty cool!
Lately I've been getting back into the whole 'space' thing. I'm remembering about space camp, I've been reading this book 'Failure is Not an Option' by Gene Kranz, I have Astronomy class tonight for crying out loud...yeah, that and I've been talking about asteroid mining. This is more definitive proof that I'm a nerd. HAH.
