Yesterday was CRAZY. I mean, one of the craziest things that has ever happened to me, happened yesterday afternoon.

The day started off normal enough. Dennis drove me to Albany, we talked in the car, I genuinely like spending time with my brother, he's a good person and really funny to boot. So we went from New Bedford to Albany pretty much uneventfully.

Then I got on the bus in Albany. Around Schenectady I could see the sky getting dark ahead of us, and I started catching flashes of lightning, which was pretty neat. I pointed it out to the lady sitting next to me, and we started watching the sky in earnest. Then once we got past Amsterdam, the sky turned black and we could see a huge cloud start dipping down. She said "Is that a funnel cloud?" and I said "No, it's just a really big cloud..."

Then about thirty seconds later we drove through a fucking tornado. Right through it. Everything was whipping sideways, I was afraid the bus was going to tip over, Kate and I were holding onto each others' hands for dear life, it was the most terrifying thing that has happened to me since the car accident with my brother in 2006.

Someone got video footage of the tornado touching down. Not from the bus, someone who lived in the town.

The driver didn't pull over or anything, he just kept going, and he was really very steady and calm about the whole thing... until he called it in to his supervisor and then he sounded pretty shaken up about it.

I was shaking like a leaf after that, Kate was shaking and crying, so I gave her a Xanax and took one myself and ten minutes later we were laughing about it... but my god that was so fucking scary, I never want to live through another tornado, I probably would have cried if it hadn't happened so fast.

After that we drove through three more thunderstorms from Amsterdam to Syracuse, and when I made it to Syracuse in one piece, Shane and Mary were waiting at the bus station for me. We stopped at Mary's house to pick up her PS2 so we can have DDR nights on Fridays, and then drove back to Wells.

When I got back, I went over to Fairlane to hang out with James and got sidelined by Evian, who is back in town now, hooray! She is staying in Fairlane until she can get an apartment. I am glad to have her back, I missed her dearly. Then James and I went down to the lake and that was really nice because we had my umbrella, and the lake looks really pretty with all the raindrops splashing into it.

Today I have been putzing around Cleveland. I got all my actual work done in about a half an hour, and I was planning on doing homework for the rest of the time but I... kind of got sidelined because Threadless is having a $10 sale. So I bought um maybe seven t-shirts for myself and one for my brother? Maybe? >.> I really need to get rid of some t-shirts before I get new ones, I have too many, it's ridiculous. But these are all so cool! I finally got the TARDamask shirt! And fucking around on Facebook, and now updating LJ... so I'm going to go do the reading for Psych of Environmental Sustainability, even though I'm trying to drop the class. I haven't gotten any word back from my adviser about what classes are being offered next semester.

Okay, I need to stop spending money. I bought a Nerf gun so I can participate in the frequent Nerf wars on campus. Seriously, there's a Facebook group for Nerf wars at Wells. I need my own gun so I don't have to beg Phillip to use his all the time.

But I can stop spending money, that's not hard. I have done my Threadless shopping, I have a Nerf gun coming to me, I don't really need anything else. Unless I go to the grocery store to get cookie-making supplies, but that won't be too expensive either.

What I REALLY need to do is my homework. I had big plans to do it while I was at work and I got nothing at all done, then I got back to my room and started playing Sims Social, because I am weak-willed and I love the Sims. I need to learn some self-discipline. At the very least, I have to get my reading responses done for Environmental Sustainability. I can probably get away with not reading the Biopsych homework because he puts up Powerpoint slides, he doesn't give pop quizzes. And then tomorrow I have to make time to watch Pretty Woman for Gender Power Lit & Film, and take notes on that, and I also have to read something for that class. Also tomorrow I have to run all the time sheets from Cleveland up to Macmillan so I can get paid this week, which I discussed with the guy who runs the business office.

But tonight: reading two chapters of Eaarth and one posted article, doing two reading responses (which only have to be like a paragraph each), going to the library and reading the chapter on imagery in a reserve book, writing a poem that mainly uses images to convey its meaning. Also SAGA at 8 and Sex Collective at 9. I am not going to get much sleep tonight.

Also tomorrow either I or Mary have to call B&G and get this bunkbed thing worked out. Mary found someone on the third floor who's willing to trade beds with us, and then I can FINALLY start arranging this room to my not-so-exacting specifications.

And tomorrow is the first meeting of choir, which I still need to put into my calendar.

Jesus fuck I am busy. D:

Oh also this:

1) Give me a pairing.

2) Give me an AU setting.

3) I will write you a three-sentence fic.

Basically if I have an icon of it or if it is listed in my profile interests, I will try to write it. I can't guarantee I'll do it well, but I will try to do it.
