I Still Haven't Gone to Sleep

I hope I did the right things buying some of my books at half.com. They don't get shipped until the 22nd (two days after classes start) and how do I know I wouldn't be able to get a better deal at my bookstore? I mean, I checked against the prices online, and only bought the ones that were cheaper (some of them online actually turned out to be more expensive with shipping prices) but I'm still not sure. I don't want to waste more money though, I feel like I've been doing that a lot lately. Hopefully when I get back to college there'll be a couple of receipts in the mail. I also want to sell my books, but they're all back in my dorm.

So! Today I got my ten-year diary. And yes, okay, I admit I stole the idea from [livejournal.com profile] hobbit_eyes, but it just seemed so romantic, and it's really, truly awesome. The first row is for 2008, so I'm either going to go back in my LJ and fill up what I can, or create a whole magical year of my life. I also caught up on the Office, went to an art supply store, out for dinner and watched Accepted and Moulin Rouge. However, because I'm stupid, I missed the new episode of Supernatural. Very, very lame.

You may notice that I've deleted all my previous Twitter posts, and have discontinued them for the future. I figure I don't want to clog up my front page, and your flists, by things that I can read on twitter itself. But for my friends out there who have it, and haven't already friended me, my name is fuzzywuzzyjr. I still update quite frequently.

Tomorrow I pack for school, and then I'm off on Saturday. I could complain about how I accomplished nothing since I got home from NYC (since I just finished doing that somewhere else), because I haven't read, taken notes on or written anything, but I'll probably (hopefully) do some of that tomorrow (or what's left of it after I wake up) or, you know, just pack.

Hopefully I can keep doing these semi-regular updates once I return to school. I would love to make time for you guys, I swear.

THAT'S AMAZING. It's such an awesome thing to do, you have no idea :D My mum had been trying to hunt down another one for me, but I'm not sure I'd start another one just yet - that was a distinct part of my life, today is the first day of the rest of it and everything.

I AM SO VERY EXCITED FOR IT. I mean, I feel like since I'm just starting college it would be totally cool to be able to look back in ten years after I've graduated. Plus, they have yearly goal lists and stuff like that which just makes it even cooler. I hope to god I can keep it up.

Gah. You just got back from NYC?!!! Do a post next time. I mean, one of the most famous cities in the world. Hello. I am so jealous.

Good job getting those books on bargain. Also, I'm curious about the concept of the ten-year diary.

I'll miss your Twitter posts. <333

Yeah, I spent almost a week there with my friend from college. I can make a whole post about it, if you're really interested.

Thanks! I'm still not sure if it was the right way to go, but it seems good enough. The ten-year diary is probably one of my favorite things right now. I'm so into making these small updates about my life that I'll be able to read so many years from now. I just hope that I can keep up with it and not lose it for ten years!

Aww, thanks! But eventually they even seemed a drag to me, since they were taking up so much of my page.

Hell yeah. Do up that post please. And post lots of pictures. :D

That is a darn good way of tracking your movements day to day. If you'd ever go amnesiac ala Memento, no worries, just pull out that ten year diary. Hee.

I'm not sure how many pictures there are that don't involve my friend and I making faces in front of my Mac camera :D

THE MORE THE MERRIER. I love seeing people have a good time.

Whaaaaaduuuuup, duder? Half.com is always the way to go for books. I did it for every semester of college, and it was always cheaper in the end.

G'luckers trekking back to school!

The thing is that I can buy a book for .75 dollars with 3 dollar shipping from half, but if I buy it from my book store it's only 2.50 or something. It just ends up being cheaper since they have to mail them to me.

Well then you have a choice to make: Buy from Half.com or BURN YOUR BOOKSTORE TO THE GROUND.
