Happy Halloween!

I always loved Halloween. Not always the day, because that could either go positively or negatively, but the whole season. I love watching Halloween commercials, TV shows, and movies. I love the colors, the smells, the candy. I love seeing stores all decorated and selling costumes. It's just a great, happy time of year.

This past Halloween has been really great. The festivities parts, anyway. The movies, treats, everything went as I wanted it all to go. Over all, everything was awesome.

And now, we begin the Christmas season :-D

Jolly Sunday

I'm not really looking forward to tomorrow. This weekend has been lovely, and I just don't want to go back to school tomorrow, even if it isn't that bad. I know when I come back I have to write a short response paper, about a page, but I still just... just no. Basically, the only thing keeping me going this week is Uncharted 3 on Tuesday.

Today

Today was awesome. Saturdays tend to be that.

A Time to Breathe

Today, I got to do nothing for the first time in ages. I caught up on Community and Parks and Recreation, watched American Horror Story (disturbing as fuck), and watched the pilot for Once Upon a Time, which was really cute. Weirdly, there were parts of it that just gave me a huge, horrid burst of sadness.

The whole plot of the show is that fairy tale characters like Snow White, Prince Charming, Rumplestiltskin, and the rest, have been cursed by the evil queen from "Snow White" to living some place horrible, a terrible, awful place where there are no happy endings: real life. That just made me come close to shedding actual tears. I honestly couldn't figure out at the time, but I think I know why now.

I'm sure I've talked about how I thrust myself into fantasy worlds like Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, etc. because they are escapes from reality. That show kind of took that view from the stories we escape to: real life is horrible, and someplace we never want to deal with. I think that's true, especially now. Not so much that it's horrible, but... in comparison to fairy tales, life is just awful. Having gone through so much stress and worry as of late, I can agree with that assessment.

I read Storm of Swords, had a McRib (disappointing), and watched A Clockwork Orange, which was really good. Funny, for a movie that got so much flack in the 70's for being horribly disturbing (and it is unsettling at points), stuff like American Horror Story freak me out more.

I'm really excited to see Ashley and Jessica tomorrow. We haven't hung out here in a while, so it should be fun.

Also, I fucking love this song. Canada rules.

Words

Worddddsssss.

Blergh

Studying. Tomorrow afternoon will be an improvement.

Running on Empty

I'm running on 4 1/2 hours of sleep. I can feel it, too. Not really tired, but just zoned out and kind of woozy. So, here's this post tonight. I've got my Psych of Learning test tomorrow. This week is hell.

Fuck papers

That is all.

Productive and Less So

So today I set out to get pretty much all of my work done. Which I did, sort of. I left my Research Methods work to tomorrow, and I'm really not looking forward to it. It's so fucking complicated and rage-inducing. I just want to smack someone because of it... probably me. Ugh.

I have "Beowulf" pronunciation down, read my Romance, and have a tentative schedule for classes, which look better than this semester.

I don't know why, but today was just full of sex. Everywhere on Tumblr was something about sex, Jesse and I were talking about it, I saw Andrew had his first time with his boyfriend and apparently bottomed (yes, I can tell. No, I'm not surprised). It was just a very lusty Sunday.

Surprisingly good song, despite not being able to tell a single thing she says.

In which I want all of the Arkham games like nobody's business

At first, I'll admit, I didn't have much interest in the Arkham games. Now, I want them ALL SO BADLY. THEY ARE SO PRETTY AND AWESOME-LOOKING!!!!!

Today was a good day. I got a good sleep, took care of the post-party mess in the kitchen, got my hurr did, and went to Ashley's, all with amazing weather. I actually have some interest in Fullmetal now because of Major General Olivier Mira Armstrong, who I thought for a little while had the nickname "The Northern Wall of Briggs" because she was such a badass defender of the actual Northern Wall of Briggs. Pity we saw all of two minutes of her. Stupid haircut. But it looks lovely.

Following this was a delicious sub and then perusal of Ashley's PS3, followed by the de-mo (as it's pronounced, apparently) of Catherine, which was so frustrating and intense blaaargh. Also, Vincent is a douche.

Scary Movie Day

Huge success. I loved seeing everyone all dressed up, and getting to watch great scary movies (The Shining and Alien), AND having my scavenger work so well. Plus, I got to observe a 3rd grade gifted class and help them with their writing. The children loved me. It was awesome.

Hocus Pocus is hysterical

I forgot why I loved this movie so much as a child. Bette Midler is phenomenally hammy and it's brilliant. I think I might blame that movie for my way of trying to speak so... theatrically? Especially when I was younger.

I submitted a paper six seconds before the deadline

I am amazing.

Unfortunately I'm still doing work. But this weather is lovely.

Rainy Tuesday

Today was a weird mix of "bleh" and "good." Research Methods is rapidly proving to be a horrific class that is only second to Psych of Learning, which I am coming to find out that everyone despises. Which, after the first test, which I got a fucking D+ on, I fully understand. That grade is bullshit, by the way, as I know I got all the important details correct in her questions.

Developmental Psych wasn't so bad. I got my group organized, pretty much making it official that I'm the leader of them.

The rain has been lovely to chill out in bed during. The scary gusts I can live without, though.

I heard this song on the way home and I thought it evoked a really positive feeling. I think I'm pegging it as my autumn song, as it just has that sound and message to it. Jessica will most likely hate it, but I still think she should give it a listen.

A Successful Monday

My Monday went from horribad to awesome yesterday. The presentation I had been dreading was awesome, I got a 95 on my Anglo-Saxon and Medieval Lit midterm, and a big bag of candy. I'm go glad everything went so well.

Sunday, stupid Sunday

Dear Journal,

Irritation. That is what I feel for everything related to FGCU. I am surrounded by fools and poor schedules. They disgust me. Were it not for my meditation training personally with His Holiness, I would have thrown several people into alligator-infested lake. My blame can only fall upon one person: Jessica Cespedes, my nemesis. Her giantess-like height causes nothing but grief from her and her NURSING major. One day I'll destroy that whole major by myself, or my name isn't Tyler Watson.

Dear Journal

I am victorious. I have finally gotten my fedora for my outfit on Friday. It pains me to say this was done with the help of my nemesis, Jessica Cespedes, but I did not let her ruin my day, with her freakish tallness that required a mirror used for giants to see what stupid hat she was wearing.

But Journal, I have to say that today was a good day, overall.

Disorienting

That's what today was. I woke up twice last night before finally waking up at 7:15 this morning to go do my volunteer work at Hope Clubhouse. My partner could only stay until 12:30, which kind of sucked, because then I was on my own. The work wasn't too bad, just clerical stuff, and then inventory later. The members there were all nice enough, very talkative. A fight broke out ten minutes before the end of the day, but apparently that rarely ever happens.

By this point, 3:30, I had a really bad headache since I didn't have a chance to eat. So I got some food, came home and ate, then napped to try to get rid of this killer headache. It felt like my forehead was about to split open.

At 7 I woke up, ate some pretzels and Nutella, and then have just been sort of vegging ever since. I have so much going on and today has just been a really bad day to do any of it.

I'm going to be doing work tomorrow, but I need to see Jessica. Even if I only had two days of class this week, it felt like an eternity. I'm in desperate need of relaxation.

Also, this song is really good.

In which I actually couldn't remember what I did today for a moment

Whoa that was weird.

The house is mine since mom is in Chicago, again. There must always be a Watson in Kent Avenue, as they'd say in Game of Thrones.

I got verbally assaulted, basically, in my Developmental Psych class by this one bitch who never has free time in her schedule claiming that my schedule is "inflexible." Are you kidding me? Ugh. I hate people.

I spent two hours with my group for Anglo-Saxon and Medieval Lit. We have a presentation on Monday that takes up the entire class period. Joy.

Came home and watched a movie called Chinatown. It was straight-up like LA Noire, even with the downer ending.

I'm sure I've talked about this before, but what's with the obsession with downer endings in Hollywood? Seriously, I've watched a long string of films recently, all with downer endings, and especially cruel ones. I'd love to see an "Earn your happy ending" movie sometime soon. This is getting ridiculous.

This is a post

Just in time.

In which I spend 3 hours writing a study guide

Tired. Yawn. Goodnight.

In which my house is decorated for Halloween

But could always use MOAR.

Tomorrow, I meet with advising. Hopefully, they'll stick me in some good classes. I checked today, and pretty much everything is either over 2 hours long, or at 8 am/5 pm. What the hell happened to midday classes, FGCU?

Mean Girls is Terrific

I loved it. Yay :-D

Had a pretty good day. I went to Five Guys with the madre, and then I took out all of the Halloween decorations, which was sweaty, tiring work. Other than that, I got to read "A Storm of Swords," which was great to do again.

A good day over all.

Also, guys, seriously. Listen to this song. It's of vital importance that you do.

I have crazy friends

But I love them.

And my first day of fall break

Was spent doing homework. *Shakes fist at FGCU.*

Chris Colfer's voice is impossibly perfect. I will cry for you.

I don't even know why

This just randomly popped into my head. God knows why.

Odin's Day

In which my suspicions about pharmacology are confirmed.

I figured it was, but I just wanted to know. GIVE ME A BREAK.

I got some good news today in my developmental psych class. Last Thursday we took a very difficult test that many people did bad on. I thought I was one of them. Turns out I got an A, and much internal celebration ensued.

This week feels a bit like my calm before the storm. Last week was insane, but this week has been surprisingly calm, which has caused me to worry and fret that I'm missing important things. I hate that feeling. Thank God for fall break this weekend.

Monday, Monday

Doing homework

Boo. But at least I'm listening to Florence and the Machine.

Jessica is still here

What a creep.
