Gates of Horn

Well, the time has come to bid this faithful blog farewell. I do not leave without feeling some iota of regret. After all, Gates of Horn ver.2 has stuck with me through the past year and a half (I think) and allowed me to instrospect--alas, without German music--,to laugh, and to ramble away in a very hyper fashion. It's also allowed me to rant, rage, and throw hysterical fits. The decision to leave was, indeed, long and arduous. It is only after much--

*HEAVY SMACK*

Whoa. I'm leaving, people, to the LJ. Because I can LJ-cut there. Really, that's more or less the only reason. And my friends are there. And Chinese people can answer my Chinese posts in Chinese (Majo, that means you. *insert maniacal and non sequitur laughter*). Yes yes, I am at last revealed to be just a trendw--a trendwh--a person who shamelessly follows trends.

I do love this blog though.*sniffle* If there should be a second "Great LJ Outage of 2005," I will rant about it here. It is fun. Sex is fun. Therefore, I would be ranting about sex. Is that how it works? No wait, I think it goes more like, It is fun. Fun is sex. Therefore It is Sex. Aristotle is spinning in his grave.

...I leave you then, ladies and gentlemen, as convinced of my insanity as you were when I first made your acquaintance. Let us not say goodbye. Let us say, go click on the last link in that little box to your upper left.

I wonder, do they not have special teas for lunch, or dinner? How come there isn't Irish (or English) Luncheon Tea? Or Supper Tea? Or Tea Time Tea?

High school chemistry came back to haunt me in the form of a wet oven mitt. You can imagine the result of trying to take a scalding hot cookie tray (with potato skins on it, not cookies) out from the oven. Granted the thing was only wet on one side, so I didn't realize it when I picked it up by the other. No, I am not quite as dumb as you might otherwise believe.

Slowly, slowly tweaking the LJ page. Font now black and more readable. Have figured out how to add extra links, so can give my background creator her (?) proper due. Forcing myself to stop for the night so I can read some orgo (UGH).

Flurried today. Uplifting. Laughed at my attempts to walk through snow, slush, and ice with sneakers that had no traction (read: very funny).

Environmental group meeting in 45 minutes. Wonder if I can finish a mug of tea in that time.

Still have to buy ink cartrilege. Will probably do that tomorrow *ponder*. Yeah, I should have time.

Whoa there. I'm ok. Just a little jot of a breakdown in the wee hours of the morning. Nothing that immediate sleep couldn't fix.^^; Will be emailing profs about summer intern/paid research opportunities, will receive my 40 dollar paycheck (-_-) this Friday for last week and the week prior, WILL switch to LJ but will worry about the layout during the weekend instead of now. Will also worry about the dance thing later. Blogger eating my post was probably some voice telling me that the post wasn't worth making, or something.

Now to finish my Korean semi-instant noodles in 6 minutes! Whoo!

(Bonus points to people who can guess what song I'm quoting from in the subject line.)

I'm going insane. I'm going insane. I need to regroup. I'm going insane. I need to regroup. Oh my god.

I just typed this entry about how over the next few days I will be testing the waters out at LJ and seeing if the stubborn layouts will let me do what I want to do. And how everything was worrying me from orgo problems to what I'm going to eat to the fact that I'm only making 20 bucks a week right now to taking dance classes to an animal communication paper topic to THIS WHOLE FUCKING JOURNAL ISSUE and how I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE that what journal I want to use is taking up worrying space in my brain AND THEN BLOGGER FUCKING EATS IT!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

I'm going insane I'm going insane I'm going insane I can't stop crying I need to go to bed.

Lately I've been working myself up over very little things. The current one is whether or not I should fork over 25 bucks for another session of ballroom dancing on Sundays. They're really a lot of fun, but I can't really retain what I've learned because I don't have time for practicing, and I'm not on the dance team (the Sunday classes are these extra sessions that the dance team holds). And just this little thing had me sitting in front of my computer agonizing. It's really the money factor. Do I want to spend 25 bucks on something I won't be able to remember after I leave? I still have no idea.

I'm contemplating whether I should switch over to LJ. But the sheer...well, connectivity of it scares me. With the blog it's more anonymous, and I feel less pressure. No one friends you and you don't feel the pressure to friend people back (since, you know, there's no friending in the first place). There's more danger of trolls and hurtful people on LJ. And, you know, there's the scary thought of your friends' moms reading your insane musings.

On the other hand, LJ has definite pluses. For one, you can comment in a different language (specifically Chinese). For another, there's the ever versatile cut. And...well, occasionally comments are nice.^^;; Plus my buddies already on LJ wouldn't have to check another blog, they can just read through their friends list.

Dilemma! I'm going to drive myself insane someday. At least the snow outside is very beautiful.
