Coming Up For Air

All I have to do is last a couple more days and then it is officially spring break and I can go to bed [and sleep for a week]. But even though it’s going to be a week off from school, there’s still a bunch of things that I have to get done. I’ve got midterms coming up when I get back so I’m going to have to spend a lot of time studying while at home. I’m also planning on getting my hair cut/colored, making a new template for PyroWinter, and finishing up a bunch of work that I’ve been putting off over the month. I also need to go to Verizon  with my mom and get my new phone/plan (maybe).

I plan on doing a bunch of relaxing too. Mum and I have already planned out a Gilmore Girls Season 7 marathon (since she still hasn’t seen the last episode), and I’m going to be catching up on all the Nip/Tuck I missed this/last season. I’ll probably find more things to do while being lazy (like playing WoW), but I don’t really want to commit to anything that I really want to do for fear I won’t have time.

The weekend after we get back from break Michael and I are heading to New Haven, CT to go to the Black Sun music festival and see Assemblage 23. There are no words to describe how excited I am about that;  they’ve been one of my favorite bands for a long time. I just hope that they do Let Me Be Your Armor and Disappoint live, because if they do I can officially die happy.

The One in Which Whitters Just Rambles On

Got the email confirmation today.. GoDaddy now has their caring hands on my beautiful domain name. They even called me to see if I was enjoying the transaction process and make sure I wasn’t having problems with my previous registrar. Whois information is locked down tighter than a nun’s chastity belt and the domain won’t expire until March 2011. Whitters: 1, Stalkers: 0.

It’s still cold here, and I’m still miserable. Add my recently acquired sore throat into the mix and I have become the destroyer of worlds. But somehow, chocolate pudding makes that all better, even if only for a short while. I even sat down tonight and watched Tin Man in an attempt to quell the inner rage. Unfortunately it didn’t work as well as I had hoped. There were a few hours of shamelessly drooling over NM and then the anger was back.

Unfortunately John has been on the receiving end most of the time when my pissed-off attitude can’t be contained anymore and I end up spewing some incoherent ranting at him. But he says its not a problem, and actually seems a bit amused by it. I guess it’s better than the alternative: me shouting at someone and them having me committed. I’ll take humoring a friend over therapy any day.

I need to do laundry, I need to study, I need to do a lot of things. I’ve just been very blah over the past few days, probably because of the weather and current aggravating problems. I’m going to make a conscious effort to get everything done tomorrow though, since we’re FINALLY getting to start our I4I project (woohoo), and it’s probably going to start consuming large chunks of my time!

Reopened in 2008

So we’ve got a new Wordpress installation, new layout, and a fresh outlook on (blogging) life. From this point forward and forever, PyroWinter is going to be an ad free blog, because frankly I don’t agree with that stuff anymore. I don’t care if its paid posting or paid sidebar text links, you’re not going to see them here. This website is my hobby, and I was stupid to ever think about it as a cash-crop.

I’m heading back to school Sunday for the 2nd semester of my Junior year. I can’t believe I’m this close to actually being done. But as exciting as that knowledge is, it’s also a little bit scary seeing as I have no clue what I want to do when I graduate. I know what I’ll be qualified to do, but I’m not really sure which direction I want to move in.

But in typical ‘going back to fashion’ I woke up this morning with a sore throat and pain in my right ear. I’ve also been completely stuffed up for the past few days. I was hoping that allergy medicine had started working again since I’ve been home since Dec 19th and haven’t been sick at all until now. I think the throat and ear are due to the fact that I stupidly shut my bedroom door last night knowing full well that the only heater upstairs is in the hallway. I think I’ll be sleeping downstairs tonight just so that I can be warm.

Besides my own personal crap, I really think that you guys should go pay some respects to my amazing friends who, even through my virtual non-existence in the blogging world, never took down my link: Chenoa, Christina, Joana, John, Karyn, Matty, Miranda, and Shasta.
