Confessions of a Self-Titled Geek Girl

Moving

2005-03-01T01:23:27Z

This will be my last post in this journal.

I'm moving out of andyish. The move may be permanent; it might only be temporary. But I'm going to be posting in my other Livejournal for a bit. It is friends only. If you ask me to add you, I probably will.

This is the only warning you're going to get, though. You may not like what you read. If you do, in fact, decide you want to read that shit, don't take it completely seriously. Most of my posts are made when I need to whine, bitch and angst. I'm not looking for ego boosts or sympathy or pity. Sure, those are fine and good sometimes, but they never truly help. Remember that I'm just venting. I really don't like bitching to people at school, because I don't feel like anyone really gives a damn what I'm upset about. Maybe you do, and that's awesome. Thank you.

Right now, I just need a place to bitch. So I'm moving. It's not hard to track the other journal down if you work a little. If you actually ask me in person or over phone or IM, I'll probably tell you, even. I don't really feel like advertising it, though.

So.

Goodbye, andyish. See you around.

Your Seduction Style: The Natural

You don't really try to seduce people... it just seems to happen.
Fun loving and free spirited, you bring out the inner child in people.
You are spontaneous, sincere, and unpretentious - a hard combo to find!
People drop their guard around you, and find themselves falling fast.

What Is Your Seduction Style?

So I got to Universe today. Big comic run. The second Runaways #1 made me tear up.

My knee hurts like hell. I'm going to Atlanta this weekend. Joy.

Hooray for posts that don't tell you anything and that are written mostly in fragments and short, choppy sentences.

Super Bowl commercials are so hot.

Visa Check Card commercial = tons of commercials.

I thought that would be the highlight.

How very wrong I was.

BATMAN BEGINS PREVIEW!

Ohmygod.

Two days after my birthday. I shall see it. Who's coming with me?

[/GEEK]

EDIT: WAR OF THE WORLDS PREVIEW!

Tom Cruise! Oh heavens.

100 Years by Five for Fighting

"Every day's a new day...
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live"

2004 was about thinking and reflecting - but isn't every year?

Return of the Crutches

2004-12-09T02:04:12Z

Hell.

I don't want to be on crutches tomorrow.

Comics and movies. Party tomorrow.

So Universe has this great sale going on this week. For $22, I picked up...

Robin #0-1
Robin Plus #1 (with Impulse)
Impulse #1
Batgirl #58
Spectacular Spidey #21
Ultimate Spidey #66-69
Black Cat #1, #3
Tozzer 2 #1
Web of Spider-man #125

Black Cat and Tozzer are for Shawn. He can have Web of Spidey, too, if he wants. I saw Gwen Stacey and Black Cat, so I picked it up.

Going to Ali's birthday party tomorrow for a few hours of geeky goodness. And time away from Grammy.

I love the woman. She's my grandmother, and I love her. But she makes me crazy.

Dad took Rachel and me to dinner and a movie tonight. We saw The Incredibles. I loved it. *nod* And I love the Star Wars trailer. Sure, I've only seen it fifteen times now, but I love it. May 19th. It's going to be great.

Suppose I'll go to bed soon. Tomorrow's going to be exciting.

Shawn's 17th birthday

2004-11-26T18:14:06Z

Happy birthday, Shawn.

Happy Halloween!

2004-11-01T01:46:28Z

I had candy duty tonight (after Rachel retired, at least)... Next to trick-or-treating, it's my favorite part of Halloween.

Little Girl: "Do you have vampire teeth?"

The wee superheroes were amazing. But wee Darth Vader was my favorite. The light saber was entirely too big for him. Manda's a happy geek now.

INCOMING!

One thing I love about my house:

I can watch the Blue Angels from my front yard.

College/To-Do List

2004-10-28T22:24:26Z

College Update!
So I decided to apply to Newberry College (SC), Erskine College (SC), Elon University (NC), Duke University (NC), Agnes Scott College (GA), University of Alabama (AL), Florida State University (FL) and University of North Florida (FL).
Newberry
The admissions counselor (a friend of a friend) e-mailed me and told me I'd been accepted. I'll get an official letter from them within the next week. I've been invited to be interviewed for the Trustee Scholars Award, the highest scholarship they offer.
Erskine
I've been accepted. I applied for the E.B. Kennedy Scholarship, a full scholarship. The foundation called and requested my transcripts, so that's a good sign. I should hear from them in one or two weeks.
Elon
I need to cut one of my essays down and write the $40 check, and that application will be done.
Duke
I need to call and re-request an application. I called almost two weeks ago, and I haven't received it yet.
Agnes Scott
I need to work on the application. I just got it two days ago.
UA
I have to send them transcripts and test scores, and that'll be done.
FSU
I have to cut down an essay for them and write another one. And I need to send them my application fee.
UNF
I heard from them today. "Congratulations on your acceptance to the University of North Florida. You are automatically accepted into the Honors Program, because of your outstanding test scores and GPA." Never mind the incorrect punctuation.

Yeah. Other than that, I need to:
- write my Modest Proposal for Lit
- pay the deposit for the senior trip
- work on Shawn's birthday present
- work on Alecia's birthday present
- buy NHS T-shirt
- scrounge up $7 for the Costume Dance tomorrow night (6:30-10:30 at DA)

HTML + web comics + nifty keen guitar solos = comfort

What is it about HTML, web comics, and nifty keen guitar solos that's so comforting?

Christopher Mitchell, my house smells like brownies, and it's all your fault.

Much love,
