Fondue and American History X and Vertigo and Park Parties and Such

I wrote NONE of my NaNo yesterday; thankfully, I am done with all homework, and can write up to 20000 words, which will put me about 2000 words behind, but, still, I will not be TOTALLY behind (and that is about 5000 words today). Too bad I didn't use that mood I was in-- TWICE-- to write yesterday; that would have been helpful, lol . . .

Yesterday was very full. Lisa and I went to Target and got toiletry goods/etc, and then some makeup and supplies for Harry Potter costumse for the movie. I am doing my DREAM SETUP, and people are ACTUALLY HUMORING ME and it is making me so happy!!!

I was always going to go as Bellatrix, cloak and all, with the dark eye-makeup and the Azkaban sign modeled off of the one Sirius carries in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Yet, now, we have the complete Pensieve scene (which, now that I do this, will NOT be shown in the movie, but still, lol . . . THOUGH, ACTUALLY, THEY USE BELLATRIX'S QUOTE-- "THE DARK LORD SHALL RISE AGAIN!!!"-- IN THE TRAILER, SO MAYBE THERE IS HOPE!!! ^_^): I'm Bellatrix, Lisa is Bartemius Crouch, Jr. (the two most plotworthy people have the cloaks), and Keith and Henry have to decide who gets to be Rodolphus and who gets to be Rabastan-- not that there's much difference, lol . . . ANYWAY, I'm making a sign for each of all of us, and, though Keith and Henry don't have much in the way of costumes, really (though I would clone my cloak if I could . . . ), we'll be a set, and it'll be SO COOL!!!

. . . at least in my head, for my own kicks. I doubt many people will get it. *Scoffs.* Silly not-so-hardcore fans :-P

Then, I worked on a paper for Japanese Civilization (woohoo . . . ?), and realized I was actually right about Japanese schools, in my writing, of my NaNo (I thought I was exaggerating O.o but they were really were that brutal!).

Then there was FONDUE NIGHT!!! Carol had organized, with some help, three batches of fondue for our floor-- s'mores, fudge, and the "D2 Fondue" mix, that they made out of the leftovers, mostly semi-sweet chocolate and white chocolate :-P It was GOOD!!! It was lots of fun, too.

Then we watched American History X. That was SUCH a good movie . . . I don't want to give stuff away, but the older brother reminded me of a cross between Sirius and Regulus Black (and the younger being more full Regulus Black, perhaps before the plot twists of the 6th book, how I pictured him . . . )-- and it was just . . . wow . . . It was a tragedy, for the older brother, really, a classic tragedy-- and I love that-- and it was just all-around a really good movie. Sobering-- but good.

We set aside our sobering-ness, though, and went to Vertigo, which was a very sweaty Engineering-School-designed rave. The fire alarm went off as soon as we walked in the door. Then we went to the Mardi Gras party I had been briefly invited to at Park, and then back to Vertigo. Then, Lisa went to bed, and I sat in the hall talking to various people for a while.

So I was up late. Now my stomach hurts with my furry little problem. Grr . . .

Distance Matters

Robert and Alice are both making me feel uncomfortable and there's nothing I can do about it, being miles upon miles away from both of them, not they they would even listen or care if I were right next to them poking at their physicalities.

. . . plus, the existential conundrum: Is it even my place to even care?

At any rate, I can't help it.

. . . the unsaid . . .

Tiffany's depressed and I feel like I keep repeating the same things over and over again but they don't matter because it doesn't actually DO anything, it just makes her feel better, maybe for the moment, but it doesn't stop the fact that she's miserable there, all the times except when she's escaping from there, somehow, whether by herself or with her parents or with Jessica, or Jamie, or I. I can't tell whether I'm supposed to act normal around her so that everything is right and the same at least in one world of hers, or if I need to be extra-supportive because of a lack of anything in the name of close friendship where she physically is.

Thanksgiving may be very awkward. There's been so much time since I've been home.

Edit (9:37): I don't want to be locked from anyone's journals as a courtesy, or anything, as a by the way, please . . .
