So, I've been dorking around on Kingdom of Loathing lately. I've started several characters there all throughout college, but I usually just stop caring around level 9 or so.

But tonight, I finished the Naughty Sorceress Quest (i.e. the final boss) for the first time and I'm WAAAAAAAY more happy about it than I should be.



In other news, I'm getting better at merging onto the freeway without hyperventilating. This means I'll actually be able to visit people over the summer, because all my college friends live on the other side of the state (or several states away) and all the cool kids left my hometown ages ago (or so it seems).

So, I just found a wonderful new time-waster called www.sporcle.com/games

But I don't count it as real time-wasting because it helped me memorize the Periodic Table of Elements. And that's got to count for something, right? So what if I'm a fucking HUMANITIES STUDENT. It's the PERIODIC FUCKING TABLE.

Besides, I am utterly horrible at memorizing things, so being able to recall a shitload of funny science terms is something that makes me pretty damn happy.




Now, I just need to be able to recite them in order. As far as useless skills go, that would be pretty damn impressive.

Shit just got real, kids.

So, I've actually been working on craft stuff lately. I started working on this hat last night (while watching Ghost World, for those who care. Enid wears this red mesh hat at one point and I had red yarn, so...) I'll probably finish it today and post some pictures soon.

...No idea what "soon" means, by the way. I'm back at TJ Maxx this summer and one thing led to another and I've kind of become the the backroom coordinator's gofer/bitch. Unfortunately, that means I'm working five days a week. (But on a good note, it's more amusing there than it is at home.)


In other craft news, I've actually had ideas for some chainmaile projects (haha, remember when I did that?) But these have pretty much been thwarted by the fact that there's NOWHERE down here where I can buy rings in appropriate quantities and, due to parental issues, can't really get away with ordering materials off the intarwebs.


And in other other news, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is only the best anime series EVER and I may be doing some crap fanart in the near future.

I'm 21 now, kids.
