Right now I am consumed by The Stress of college apps. School hasn't even started yet and I'm busy scribbling away on my "global perspective" essay and taking cute little college matcher quizzer things on the Princeton Review website just incase I've missed out of "the college" that I am destined for.

Oh my god. I think I'm going to have a heart attack from all of this.

And I still haven't started my summer reading.

I should probably get around to doing that.

I need House to come back so I have something else to think about besides my (dun dun dun) future.



Maybe I can just forget about college and The Stress and sea kayak the Indian Ocean...?

I ventured out to Long Island early this morning to...
a) visit my grandparents
b) go to the beach in an attempt to be less pasty white

however I returned to my fortress in New Jersey...
a) depressed since said grandparents are very old and are beginning to loose their marbles
b) still pasty white due to the fact that the miserable tristate traffic caused both my mother and myself to be in terrible moods and not really want to trek out to eastern long island

woe is me. =[


School starts in a little over month. I'm absolutely horrified. I haven't started my summer reading/essays and i'm worryingworryingworryingworrying.

Boy comes back from Martha's Vineyard in two weeks. Girl is happy.

I'm convinced that there is nothing in the world better than [info]charlottelennox's documentation of the ms.scribe saga.

And there's nothing worse than a cold that won't go away. =\

So about an hour ago I was wallowing about how I wasn't going to Florida until the end of August (childish, I know) when Dad tells me that we have to "talk." I assume that I'm only just going to get repremanded for complaining and putting off my summer reading for AP Euro/English (horray!) when all of a sudden...

He's gotten a job with one of those big investment banks and he's going to London for a few weeks. Okie dokie, Dad. Can I use your car? And then he's going to Hong Kong. Alright. Can I please use your car? For a few years and in a few months my family is going to relocate. Oh. Eventually we'll be moving back and he'll be working out of New York again. Oh.

I'm starting my senior year of high school on September 6th. I'd really like to go to George Washinton University in DC. A very good school. I had been planning on applying there early decision, but if my family is in Hong Kong...

The University of Hong Kong is an option. Apparently I'm visiting at some point.

My life has always been so... ordinary white girl living in the suburbs of New York. I don't know whether I'm excited or kind of depressed.



ps. hi friends!

Are you a book lover? A TV freak? A movie aficionado? Put your mind to the test and list some of your favorite fictional characters – at least one for each letter of the alphabet.

I admit it. I'm a total fic snob. It's probably a bad thing, but after how many years (five? six?) I know overrated!fic when I see one. Therefore I reserve the right to be an elitest jerk. Right? Right. There are so many authors writers who get so much more attention then they deserve and I can't bring myself to even comment on their work. Anyone can write fluffy, out of character and sickeningly sweet Goren/Eames fluff, but I want to read an epic and cry my eyes out at the end of it. And how come no one writes heart-wrenching Stabler/Benson separation fic? Or casefiles? What the hell happened to those? I don't remember the last time I read a decent one. I'm considering making the move back into the boredom and deadness that is Les Miserables fandom. And that's saying something.
