Pointless Announcements

Yes, that is what "irony" means.

i·ro·ny
/ˈīrənē/
Noun
The expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.

The irony being that I used "irony" ironically.

They think I'm strange, yet I believe them to be. Irony here being I'm completely harmless. You got it, now?

I'm freezing. It's thirty degrees cooler today than it was yesterday.

I'm really an idiot, my stupid uterus hurts too bad right now so I went and took two acetaminophen without thinking.

I should have taken Ibuprofen, now I can't take my cough medicine for at least four hours because it has acetaminophen in it and I already abuse my liver bad enough with other shit regularly, I can't double up on acetominophen and not expect it to just fail on me just for kicks and laughs.

Also, it is snowing.

So at least that is nice.

Whoo! Hope it works out for you.

Going to the swim meet tomorrow after school and hopefully keeping score for the boys again. It was fun.

Tonight is a night for drinking. Tomorrow and the next day are going to be really rough. I know this. At some point in the near future I'm going to tell you all everything that I'm going through and everything that I'm about to go through, but I'm not ready yet. I'm in the eye of the storm, or at the cusp of the eye. It's calm right now, but I know it's an illusion. It's only for a short time,iit's not going to last. Tomorrow and the next day are going to be very hard for me.

I want you all to know how much I care about you and that you deserve to know how I feel right now. I'm just not ready yet.

I think I speak for the rest of us when I say we're here for you, as much as we can be, whenever you're ready and even when you're not.

Hang in there Mel. You'll get through the storm.

*Hugs* Mel.

I went to Crossfit with a friend of mine today. Jebus, my cardio is horrible. Also, I cooked today!

Gonna try to keep up this routine. Learning a lot from these new housemates of mine. I'm surrounded by positive, productive attitudes all day. Gonna take full advantage. Maybe I can really quit smoking this semester.

Good for you.

Cardio is good. Exercise every day and you will feel wonderful, mang.

Getting one little girl ready for school is more complicated than three boys combined.

Even when two of those boys are teenagers with all the fretting about how they look that comes with that!

I have a job interview on Thursday for a permanent position at the office I work at now. My 2 bosses will be there, along with 2 other people I don't know. Having people there who know me, somehow makes me more nervous. Can't wait for it to be over, I'm stressing myself out.

I hope you get it, it must be weird having an interview with people you know, I've never had that before.

There's a part on This Is 40 where the oldest daughter is freaking out and screaming and throwing clothes out of her closet because she can't find anything that fits, it's hilarious.

There was no screaming this morning, but, knowing we were running quite late she emerges from her room, after I told her to go get dressed quickly, still in her jammies and holding only a sweater.

I tell her 'Okay! You can wear the pink sweater but where is the rest?!'

'No. No. I don't want the pink sweater with the frill, I want my red one that is sort of like this pink one but it has the sparkles. I can't find it.'

Then we find it and she must have 'a shirt that matches underneath it because I want to unbutton it.'

'but not a long sleeved one'

'No, not all the buttons, just up to this one at the top.'

'my shirt is crumpled under it'

'I need my shirt tied with a knot on the side'

and on and on and on

Then after all that she come out a minute later with a sweatshirt covering it all.

LOL, oh Pepper, I'm sorry, but that's pretty adorable.

Buh, done with two more exams. For the first one we had some really lame texts with sentences that were 4-5 lines long, and for the second we had a page from D.H.Lawrence's 'The Rainbow'. Finished each in about an hour, now the anxiety for the grades shall begin!

Hate waiting for my grades. It's been over a month since I handed in my assignments and not a word from any lecturers. Hate it, too tense.

Yeah, grade waiting is awful.

The ones I'm anxious for are the one I took yesterday and the one for tomorrow. The one for tomorrow will be a doozy I think, and I'm trying so hard to organize all this info in my head, because it's all very unorganized on paper (thanks to the fine professors at the Sorbonne...fuckers).

always here, girl

I know this is becoming, like, my "thing," and it's not even a cool thing, maybe even kind of annoying, but... I love my new haircut.

I hope things change now that we're in postgrad. Before, we still didn't have all the grades when the second term started, and that's pretty much illegal.

I'm late to the trends as usual. After I discovered Lana del Rey like half a year after everyone else (although I saw her on tumblr every day), I only pressed play on one of Ellie Goulding's songs today and discovered I really like her. Silly Irina.

I'm watching the interrogations of the killer Jodi Arias again. God, what a liar. I should go to bed soonish.

Yeah, they've extended my contract several times, but the permanent position I applied for is not exactly what I'm doing now, so you never know!

Will do.

The class I was gonna skip today in order to finish a project is cancelled. Somebody out there likes me.

My sister will be here shortly to pick me up. Services are today. It's going to be a rough day.

Irina, I like Lana Del Rey, also.
But, there are a number who think she is over produced. Also, there is a small scandal on SNL (Saturday Night Live comedy show) where she was the musical guest, and sang WAY off key. It was on the internet. However, I can't find it now.
I still like her.
And personally, I can't see what's so much better about other pop stars who obviously use permanent auto-tune, and a well produced (possibly mediocre) singer with well written songs and cinematic quality.

Good luck to Imke!

That whole SNL thing made me like her more. I'm not the biggest fan of her music, i just think she's unapologetic and cool. Sleigh Bells was on SNL too and people made a big deal because they sounded so bad but Sleigh Bells doesn't work as well on small speakers. You have to see them in person or listen in your car, not on TV or Youtube.

My brain took that as "Oh, you've got an extra two hours to work and you should just spend that time procrastinating." Fuck you brain.

My first day off and only day off this week. I have soo much to do.

I love Lana.

Snow day today!!! Pottery was cancelled but that's all right.

I found a book of 33cent stamps yesterday, with some old papers of mine.

Stamps were 33cents when I was like seventeen.

My mom just called and her opening line was:

"Enjoying my time with cats on drugs"

Killed my midterm presentation today that I thought I was gonna blow. Yay me!

Trying to get a picture of my hair before I ruin it. I'm having trouble.

Come on. That's clearly the only correct answer to this.

Do what girls on facebook do, take a picture of your chest and say it's a picture of your hair.

I tried phrasing that joke in the least creepy way I could think of and still came up pretty short.

That could totally work.

Was your first draft...

TITS OR GET THE FUCK OUT.

?

What if she hadn't shaved her pits.. are those consider a part of the chest officially? becaue she could take a picture of her unshaved pits and it would be a chest/hair picture.

Wait. I was just trying to ruin everything to be mean, but I just realised you told her to take a picture of her chest hair.

Damn. You're mean.

Jess, I chatted up a girl today that looked just like you. It was quite amusing.

Not for her.

If you are asking for my permission to date Alternative Me, the answer is no.

I'm also surprised you remember what I look like. I haven't posted a picture in like a year.
