No comment.

SO many things have been stressing me out for no reason lately. I wanna go home!

Oh, wait... I AM home!

Can I please stay?

Halloween has come and gone again. I didn't do anything special, just like last year. I don't think I'm ever going to celebrate Halloween again. It's just lost all the fun since I was a kid, when all we would do was trick-or-treat and eat candy. I tried to revive it by hosting Halloween parties at my house during high school, but who's gonna have fun if there isn't any alcohol involved?

My favorite movie is the Nightmare Before Christmas, and just watching that movie is enough Halloween fun for me.

Plus, it would be nice to have friends to celebrate with in the first place.

Anyway, there's bigger fish to fry.

NaNoWriMo starts in less than 2 hours, and I've been crackin' my knuckles to get ready for all that typing I'm going to do. I'm even in the perfect mood to type in first person as my melancholy main character. Present tense will be an interesting change too, lately it's been weirdly easy to type in the present rather than the past.

Hmm, I wonder if anyone writes in future tense?

Nah, that'd just be weird.

But maybe...

Throughout all of senior year I got myself all excited for college, but it just hasn't been living up to my expectations lately. I need a distraction. Hmm.

"As Karina glanced over to the sidebar of her blog, She realized this: She does have a distraction. National Novel Writing Month? Pssh, she's done that twice. No problemo. The perfect diversion from her current thoughts."

I'm know I'm weird, and I'm not sorry about it. Just nod and smile, and maybe I'll go away.

This is real!

Okay, I'm done.

"Blind Light" by Andrew Gormley

Well, this bodes well!

On facebook, I found this thing that analizes words in people's wall posts, then generates a graph based on how often certain words are mentioned over time. I searched "obama" and "mccain," and it looks like obama is more popular in the world of facebook. Check it out here: http://www.facebook.com/lexicon/index.php?q=mccain%2C%20obama

Before I die...

If there's one thing I must do before I die, it's to listen to every single podcast I have right now, and be consistent with listening to them as they come out. This is quite difficult, though, as I'm always busy, and have about 200 unplayed ones right now, AND I'm subscribed to so many different ones, which are constantly being updated. BUT it also means that I'm never going to die!

Mah tags arr awl RONG!

So, right now, I've decided to fix ALL my tags in iTunes. Artist, album, title... EVERYTHING! I don't know about genre though... that might be difficult.

Since I've downloaded a bunch of music from limewire, it's hard to tell if the song really is what the file name claims it to be. For example, I downloaded a song that I thought was by Belle & Sebastian, but it was really by a band called "Sin With Sebastian."

And a song I THOUGHT was by She and Him was really by some guy named Frank Thompson...

I love free music, but this is really annoying. Anyone else get this problem? I've discovered that if I have my Last.fm radio thing open when I listen to music, it tells me when the tags are awl rong! So I'm gonna fix them. ALL OF THEM!!!



edit: oh, and when I'm done with doing that to about 4000 songs, I'm going to get ALL the album art, dammit! Even if my widget snatches some random picture, that's gonna be my album art... this is the whole reason I'm fixing the album tags in the first place, so that my widget can find the right artwork for the albums, so I can see it when I use my iPod Touch, and so I can finally be at peace with my musical self. So far, it has been a difficult journey to reach this goal...

Worst Website Design EVOR!!1!

We're gonna tell you how much Obama sucks, but first try and navigate through our mishmash of windows that are too skinny and not wide enough for the text, links that are broken, and a looooong column of unlabed youtube videos that no one wants to watch. Oh, and don't forget the pixelized images!

I think the right part of my occipital lobe got all broke.

Karina @ MP3 Experiment!

The MP3 Experiment pics were uploaded! I found a couple with me in them. The first one was our "human tetris piece" and then you can almost see me in the second one, frozen jumping in midair. I can NOT wait until more of these things come to Chicago, they better!

Randomness

Last night I had a dream that I was a lesbian and was making out with one of my friends (I will not say who). then, I accidentally hired an assassin to kill a famous celebrity, which could have been Harry Potter, so he never got to star in any movies after "Goblet of Fire." Or it could have been Gaia Moore from the "Fearless" series I read in junior high. Maybe the assassin killed both? Hmm... Either way, the whole deviantart.com community got so angry at me for hiring the assassin (accidentally) so they kept sending me hate mail. Oh, and then Chris was white instead of Mexican, and I kept wondering why he would change that, or how that could happen.

Then I woke up an hour and a half after my alarm first went off.

Man, I love dreams.

P.S. Coincidentally, I'm listening to the "Fear of Sleep" episode of This American Life right now.

MP3 EXPERIMENT-NESS!!!

OH MAN!! Never have I ever hugged so many strangers (and inanimate objects), thumb warred with some random guy I don't know, and marched into battle against an army wearing yellow and red shirts with a balloon as my only weapon.

In other words...

The mp3 experiement was so awesome! I wore a blue sweatshirt, so look for me when the pictures get posted!

Oh, and I also got a haircut today!! It's really short, shorter than I've ever had it before. I will post pics from the mp3 thing if I can find any good ones with me in them. :D

I even saw Charlie Todd, in the flesh! He was participating with us. I just wanted to go up to him and hug him and tell him how cool he was. I actually could have hugged him, since that was one of the things Steve (the omnipotent voice from above) told us to do, but I couldn't find him in time.

Best day EVOR!!

wahh?

This looks a lot cooler!

Some XKCD shirts I want (need!)

ahhh

WHY DID I GO TO BED EARLY WHEN I MY CLASS IS AT 1 PM???

Oh, and happy October, by the way. I just noticed right now.

Only one month 'til NaNoWriMo craziness!!

It's freezing in here.

This is an odd thing to admit at 4:16 AM... but I can't think straight when I haven't talked to Chris for a couple of days, even just ONE night throws me off a little. Jeez, I haven't even met the guy, only heard his voice, and now I'm going just a little insane.

I went to bed way too early, at like 8:30 PM, because I watched Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (and wanted to catch up on all the sleep I lost from going to bed at 2 or 3 AM every night). I always go to bed so late, it's weird to wake up around that time. Now I'm just listening to the sounds of various garbage machines, street cleaners, and the L making that little dinging noise when the doors are closing. (I didn't know it ran THIS late...)

I feel like staring at the traffic lights for a while, maybe try to figure out a pattern, and if it's regular. In a city as crazy as this, I suppose there should be some kind of order.

I hear the L again, it sounds so lonely when everything else is so quiet.

Skype is fun!
