sakon76I did not wake up with a headache. I woke up feeling like I have two black eyes. This has understandably colored my view of the world today.
My student ID is still MiA... neither the library nor my usual computer lab has it, and I haven't located it at home, in my wallet, car, or backpack yet. This becomes problematic because I need it to look up course reserve materials.
Got two new books last night. I'd gotten two copies of one particular book for Christmas, so I finally took the second to Barnes and Noble and returned it. With the store credit they gave me for it, I purchased Mineko Iwaki's autobiography _Geisha, A Life_ and since they had in Tamora Pierce's newest novel, _Shatterglass_, I got that too in a sort of compensation for losing my bid for _In the Hand of the Goddess_ (first print, HC, DJ) on eBay the other night. Someday I will have her entire collection in that format. Only six books out of twenty to go.... Also browsed on amazon.com just now and found that Diane Duane and P.N. Elrod (as well as, of course, J. K. Rowling) have new books due out later this year. New books are good.
Not sure of what I can/should do about the parents giving away *my* dog and my being drastically short on funds. My honorary uncle thinks they should fund the rest of my education. My response runs along the lines of "no way in hell." I also may have to drop committments--specifically staffing Fanime and attending AX. I simply won't be able to afford to skip work, let alone travel to them and have a room to stay in, etcetera. I know I've committed myself to Sionna for AX Masquerade and it will make a very serious impact on our already tenuous friendship if I welch on her, so maybe I can attend on the 5th. I'll only be missing one day of work that way.... Of course, if I can't go to school next term because of money (thus having to drop my Japanese major when only two classes from its completion) I'll have to find some kind of job, so maybe things won't be so bad.
My fiance and uncle both seem to think that my admitting to even the possibility of not being able to complete that second degree is a Very Bad Thing, but as it is, they really can't do anything to help my current situation, and my parents don't seem a likely source for aid either. So, I will consider.
Must remember to take the eggs and bacon and lunchmeat and suchlike over to my parents'. I seem to have two responses to stress. One is to binge on eating anything that is bad for me. The other is to eat very little, that little being vegetarian. I'm on the second this time, for which I am grateful. Need to lose weight.
Think I'm happy that no one comments in my LJ. Gives me a feeling of privacy within the rantings of my own mind. I can't talk to Char right now--but I can write here.

Date: 2003-02-22 04:59 pm (UTC)Firstly, I don't think our friendship is really *that* tenuous.
Secondly, could you email me and give me a few more specifics on what's going on? I'd call, but I really can't right now, and I'm worried and don't want to wait until I get home if there's a way I can get in touch with you sooner...
