This name is driving me insane.
I had a flashback from my childhood not too long ago, and it's been bugging me ever since. "Aggie Usedly." That name means nothing anymore; she used to be the host for the Michigan lottery when I was a kid. My mom played the lotto religiously back then, so there were many a time when we would watch her pull the winning numbers live. I tried Googling her with little success; I was hoping to find a bit of a "Where Are They Now" kinda thing. I perceived her as being old when I was a kid, so there's a strong likelihood she has since passed away.
I really like that name.

[Link] | I am all caught up with studying for the moment. I do not plan on letting this fall behind. I have been working on a bunch of different changes to improve my life. I am taking better care of my education; I am taking better care of my body (slowly but surely). I may still be eating like crap for the moment but I am getting more inadvertent exercise AND I started flossing again, too. Still smoking, though.
Going downstate tomorrow. Going to fetch the rest of my bedroom furniture. I'll have a real bedroom again, which is going to be so unexplainably awesome, I won't even begin to attempt. Come February, though, I want to start hitting the gym.
Heather (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) oreowhore) has dragged me into the seedy world of hockey fanaticmanship. It's going to be awesome. I have gone from having a social life of Thomas and Mindy to OMGWTFBBQETC.
Still no dating life, but that's to be expected. Oh well. Maybe it's a good thing I picked grad school in such a remote part of the world. With less time devoted to chasing the boys, that's more time devoted to my studies.
Peace out.

[Link] | (12:11:16 AM) bexhetokay: i am so fucking pissed right now. At myself, and at the Universe.
(12:11:41 AM) Internet Friend: aw, what happen?
(12:12:04 AM) bexhetokay: My iPod is dead. I have had it less than a week, and there are three seperate issues that I have with it.
(12:12:41 AM) Internet Friend: surely it's covered under warranty?
(12:12:53 AM) bexhetokay: I tried to go online and request a repair service. It will only let me report one issue with it, so there's no guarantee that they'll just send me a new one, which I would highly appreciate
(12:13:14 AM) bexhetokay: So most likely, the other two issues will go unresolved
(12:14:15 AM) bexhetokay: So I am just going to have to wait until Monday when I can call them, and MAYBE get to adress my complaints
(12:14:44 AM) bexhetokay: But still, there is no way it will be repaired/replaced in time for Friday. I am going to be traveling in a vehicle for 1,000 miles
(12:14:54 AM) bexhetokay: I was so happy I was going to have my iPod for this journey, but no.
(12:15:51 AM) bexhetokay: I am pissed at Apple because I have been waiting, like, 5 years to finally have the financial means to buy one for myself (my mother breaks her promises every time she promised to get me one.) Oh, you'll get it for graduation. Oh, you'll get it for your birthday. Oh, you'll get it for christmas.
(12:16:03 AM) bexhetokay: So I finally get one. All by myself. And it's a piece of shit
(12:16:22 AM) bexhetokay: So I am pissed at Apple and I am pissed at myself for allowing myself to get this upset over a material possession

...wow.
I was right in the middle of pleasuring myself when I noticed, "OH MY GOD I USED TO HAVE THAT EXACT SAME BEDSPREAD."
I just made wanking it to gay porn THAT much more gay.
Happy Holidays, everyone.

What a queer I used to be.
So for some reason, I have been feeling very nostalgiac-ey tonight. I compiled a playlist dedicated to all the crap I listened to in high school. After all, I haven't always been the ultra-hip, Tegan and Sara singing, indie rock douchebag I am today.
Here's a glimpse into my musical past:
Hoobastank - Crawling in the Dark
Trapt - Headstrong
Chevelle - The Red
Three Days Grace - I Hate Everything About You
System of a Down - Toxicity
Linkin Park - Somewhere I Belong
Avril Lavigne - Complicated
Evanescence - Bring Me to Life
Stone Sour - Bother
Sugarcult - Pretty Girl (The Way)
My question for you, the reader, is what potentially embarrassing music did you listen to 7 years ago?

Ah, shit.
As I have suspected, the position was already filled and they didn't update the website.
Oh well.

Well, holy shit.
It looks like I am getting all my ducks in a row. I just hope no one shoots them down before I am ready.
There's a job opening in Marquette, and I am highly interested in obtaining it. They are very familiar with me there (they are a youth drop in community center, and they helped me out more than I can repay while I lived off campus.) I actually called there a couple months back, wondering if they had any openings. They did not, but the woman I called, Becky, remembered who I was and sounded delighted to hear from me. She told me to email her my resume, which I did, and if there were any openings in the near future, she would keep me in mind. Well, I hope she is true to her word. I called her on Friday, expressing my interest in the position. Unfortunately, I did not get a hold of her directly, but I left her a voicemail. I am going to call again tomorrow. I reaaallly don't want this to pass me up.
I'm not keeping my car. It would barely make the trip upstate, if at all, so I am going to sell it. I have a couple of potential buyers already, and I might be selling it sooner rather than later. That would cover the cost of renting a truck and moving my furniture upstate. Oh! Speaking of furniture! :D
I was planning on buying a loft bed for my new bedroom. It won't have a closet, so I was trying to think of ideas of storing my clothes. I don't own a dresser anymore; I keep my clothes hanging in my closet. No closet, no dresser, what is a person to do? Well, one of Thomas's roommates just moved out. What did he leave behind? A loft bed. What's under the bed? A huge dresser. I offered him $100 for the set :D This, of course, is contingent I can sell my car.
Here's hoping things work out! :D

I am getting undressed for the night and I just now realize my boxers are on backwards.
Epic.

Woo!
Very productive day today. Called my academic adviser and am now registered for my first semester of graduate courses! PY 410 Sensation and Perception as well as PY 541 Advanced Child Psychology. I also discussed the possibility of attending the Morningside Teacher's Academy in Seattle, WA over next summer. It's a 3 week training program that teaches you their fundamentals of teaching/coaching.
http://www.morningsideteachers.org/
My adviser said I would be able to attend, tuition and housing paid for (I would have to worry about travel and food) as well as receive 8 graduate credits! I could be done in a year and a half!
This is all very exciting and overwhelming. Now I need to track down some letters of reference and write up a personal statement/CV.

[Link] | Something I learned today.
Apparently, when I was incredibly young, my parents entertained dreams of moving to the upper peninsula of Michigan to open a video rental store in Newberry.
...
I know, right?

Okay, I haven't done this in a while, so you're all just going to have to deal with it.
Seriously. Best icon ever.

"Things are looking brighter and I’m feeling better."
+5 if you get the lyrical reference.
-5 if you Googled it (hey, at least you broke even!)
-10 if you're oreowhore .
Well, so, yeah, the job thing kinda stinks, but I refuse to let it get me down. Srsly, my body could not handle waking up at 5 am every day, it wasn't going to last for much longer, anyway, sour grapes or not.
Things I've done today:
- Dropped off my work badge.
- Made some inquiries about seasonal employment. I'm sure I'll find something as a retail wage-slave.
- Checked my bank statement. Of course, this would be the week that direct deposit kicked in, but hey. I have some money to float on for the time being.
- Got a hold of an old professor of mine. Seems like he has no issue with being my academic adviser. He was busy when I caught him so we'll talk at more length tomorrow. He said because I am a first generation college graduate in my family, I should be able to qualify for grants and the like. Unfortunately, I have pretty much zero chance of landing a research assistanceship.
- Told FAFSA that I want to go to NMU for grad school. But apparently, I didn't tell them ENOUGH that I was going to be a grad student, because I am still listed as a dependent of my mother. Oh well. When that processes in 5 days, I need to do it again and check one more little box, then let that process again. Then maybe NMU can give me an idea of the financial aid I can expect to receive.
- Got a hold of an old contact/acquaintance of mine at Lutheran Social Services - Voices for Youth in Marquette. They're not hiring now, but if anything opens up by the time I start school, I should be getting really good consideration. She also said she'd keep an eye/ear out if anything remotely related opens up in the area. Emailed her my resume.
- I also checked the websites for Pathways and Great Lakes Recovery Center in Marquette. Tomorrow during business hours I will call again and introduce/reintroduce myself, respectively.
- Introduced myself (online) to a potential roommate I might be living with come January. I've met him before, and he seems really cool. He likes Tegan and Sara and Kimya Dawson, so he can't be all bad.
January holds a lot of promise, it's just a matter of waiting out until then.

[Link] | I lost my job. My car wouldn't start this morning. There's no way I would be able to keep that job without a car. I was already on thin ice at work: had I called in, I would have been fired for sure. I guess at least I left on my own terms, though when I go to try to find a new job I will have to tell them that I quit my old job, no, I did not give them two weeks notice, and no, you cannot contact them as a work reference.
I give up. I am tired of everything in my life turning to shit and I am quickly running out of energy for this uphill battle. I am going to listen to sad Kimya Dawson songs about death and sexual molestation until I pass out.
