Glee Review

Another episode of Glee has passed. I'm not spoiler free, so if you haven't seen it or the promo for next week, you might want to skip this post =)

I'll give you a bit of time to decide.

Good? Alright....AHHHH! Oh my God! So much stuff going on my brain can't handle it. The elections with Hummel v. Slyvester and Hummel v. Pierce. Too much, too much. And only one Hummel one! Poor Kurt. I was surprised he thought about cheating in the election. I read spoilers and at first I didn't believe but then Rachel did it. She stuffed the ballot box. Ruined chances for Kurt and probably herself. Now she has a spot on her permanent record and she's not competing in sectionals?! Holy Neptune.

Then Sue and the man (the dude who has been "dating" Coach Beiste. I haven't remembered his name yet). I can't believe that happened! Sue ruined that relationship...well, Beiste wasn't really helping the situation either, and the poor man was confused. I'm glad Beiste was able to express her feelings in the end but now she's competing against Sue. Soooo much drama there.

Puck had sex with Rachel's mom?! I still can't see why he isn't grossed out by that. I mean, he made out with Rachel...now he's trying to be with her mom? I don't know. And he told Quinn?! He's soo stupid. Doesn't he know she's still crazy and will use that information to show that she's an unfit mother?! She had sex with a student!

Lastly, Santana. I've always loved her, and I love her even more. She's just had it so rough lately. And Finn is trying to help in the only way he can. I give him props for that but I still hate his guts. Santana and her abuela (grandma if you don't know Spanish), that was heartbreaking. I just kept thinking "please accept her please!" She's a strong woman though and she has people who love her for her, so I know she'll make it through everything. She better!

Now for the promo: THANK GOD BLAINE! He's finally confronting Finn on his stupid behavior. No Rachel in sectionals. And....Sam?!? I knew you were coming back but what are you doing?! I never saw that coming. This is going to be a fantastic episode. Until next week this is your Glee Review. Ella signing out!

Man, I'm a few lines away from being halfway done with this paper. Gosh! I don't feel like doing it, especially at four in the morning. I think I'll go to sleep now and wake up at eight. Continue from there. First, I'll make it so I'm on page five...I'll feel more accomplished. I shouldn't have procrastinated this badly. I should have at least read the rest of my articles yesterday or something. My eyes are burning.

I'm going back to campus tomorrow...in like 12ish hours...I don't want to go back. It's just one week of classes and then three days of finals. I come back home on the eighth. I think it's so stupid that I come back for less than two weeks. Why don't we have finals before Thanksgiving and then we get out then and stay out until January? I think that sounds a lot better. I wouldn't mind it.

Need sleep. Sleep sleep sleep. Been listening to classical/violin orchestra music for the past *checks time* eight hours. Holy cheesus! And I don't think any of the songs repeated.

Hmm my mom wants to go to this jewlery shop in the morning...a few hours from now. I have this key necklace but it's not sterling silver so it turned after having it for a few years. So, I've been meaning to buy one that is sterling but kept forgetting. My mom remembered and wanted it to be a surprise/christmas gift but she doesn't know which one I would like. We were looking at a bunch online from macys, kohls, jcpenny, and others. Laughing and horrid looking ones and just enjoying ourselves. Then she told me about this store, so we might go tomorrow. Not sure.

She asked if I wanted to see the Twilight movie today...yesterday? I said I did, but I needed to finish my homework. She would have just dropped me off. She hasn't seen any of the films. I guess I'll wait until after finals when I come home. No one on campus will want to see it with me, and I don't have any friends at home so no asking there. I'll just go by myself like I did with the Glee movie. I don't mind.

My eyes are watering...or bleeding...who knows. I've been staring at a screen and packets of paper for far too long. I wanna watch Merlin. Can't watch Merlin. Probably won't until after finals. How horrid. No, I'll watch next Monday. It's reading day so no classes...yay...maybe I should stop rambling? Yeah...I'll do that.

Research Research Research

My 8-10 page paper is due Monday and I'm still not done reading all the articles I found. I really want to do this:


But I also have a presentation on said paper on that said Monday.

Merlin Episode Reactions

I started season 4 of Merlin yesterday and I'm three episodes in. Here are my ending reactions for the episodes:

4x01:




4x02:





4x03:





I can't even...episode 4x03, my goodness. I've been waiting for it..but I didn't expect it in THAT way. I'm mean, and right after episode 4x02!?!? I want to explain it all but...you know what, I'll just put this here:

***************SPOILERS: READ IF YOU DARE**************

I was bawling my eyes out for Lancelot! I wasn't a huge fan of him. From the beginning I wanted Gwen and Arthur (of course I really want Merthur, but can't have everything in life), and I know enough about the Arthurian legends to know Lancelot causes problems. So when he showed up, I instantly hated him. Then I realized he was the sweetest and most loyal human being on the show and I couldn't hate him! But I didn't want him with Gwen. The fact that he knew Merlin's secret, it made me happy because now Merlin had someone else to talk to besides Gaius.

And then the end of season three, Lancelot and the others become knights. I was so happy! Now Lancelot is really around to help Merlin and I get to see his gorgeous face (He looks like a younger version of Ioan Gruffudd who plays Lancelot in the 2004 film King Arthur with Clive Owen). I like the relationship between Lancelot and Merlin, it's not as beautiful as Gwaine and Merlin, and definitely not as beautiful as Merthur, but it's still enjoyable. And in episode 4x03 they freakin' killed him. They killed him! Right after I finally started to love him, they took him away from me! How could they do that! I cried so hard it was like when I thought Gaius had died at the end of season one. This show will be the death of me. I can see it now.

I Love Gwaine

Didn't realize how much I loved Gwaine until I saw episode 3x11. Hahaha I love the friendship between Gwaine and Merlin. It's not as strong as Merthur, but it's still lovely.





And the interaction between Merlin, Gwaine, and Arthur is wonderfully hilarious.

Thanksgiving

So I was in the city from Wednesday to about a few hours ago, and I didn't have my laptop. Which means....I wasn't able to say Happy Thanksgiving a lot earlier!



So HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

Random

Got out of class 30 minutes early! Amazingness!

If only I didn't have to watch a movie for my English class and go to said English class tomorrow morning....I could have gone home tonight!

Talking 'til 4am

Last night during work one of my friends and her roommate came to visit me. It was hilarious. They always bring a smile to my face. I got off work at 1am and then my RA came and started talking to us. Basically, we sat outside my RA's room in a circle talking until 4 in the morning, and it was relaxing. Thanks girls!

Silent Treatment from the Roommate: It Begins

I wanted to make sure I was right before I posted this. Took a few hours but it's official: I pissed off my roommate Jane!



Today our argument layout for our philosophy class was due. Keep in mind, this is not a group project and even though we have the same class/professor, it's not at the same time.

Anywho, I looked at this assignment ahead of time and I wrote it Wednesday night and sent it to my professor Thursday morning to look over it. Jane wants to start working on it at 10pm Thursday night. She doesn't even read the section of the article before she goes:

"Oh my God, I don't understand this!...What is he even talking about?....I don't know what I'm supposed to do....What did you do?"

Automatically, I'm pissed. Don't ask for help if you haven't read it. And you're not even asking for help! She does this every time and then basically copies what I already did. So I didn't tell her. I said that I didn't know what I was doing and that I just did blah blah blah and sent it to the professor.

"Oh...What did she say?"

"I don't know. I haven't checked my email. I'm working on my English paper." I said.

5-7 minutes later.

"Have you checked your email?"

No! It's not my fault you have not done your homework. It's not my fault that you waited until the last minute to do it. I did mine. I'm working on something else. Don't try to take up my time with your crap.



I check my email cause she asks again (ahhh!). The professor told me to change a few things. I didn't tell Jane everything. I told her that the argument layout only needs two premises for the conclusion. Why the hell does she walk over and reads over my shoulder to look at my email?

"Oh...What's your conclusion?"

Do your own work! You still haven't read the stupid article! I didn't tell her my conclusion. I told her it was something to do with the last paragraph. I go back to my paper and in the corner of my eye I see her rocking back and forth staring at the article on her laptop going:

"What the hell am I supposed to do?....I have like 10 premises...I'm going to fail...This is stupid. I don't have time for this."

I ignored her. I finished my paper, my readings, and then fixed my argument layout and went to sleep around 1:15am. Since then she hasn't spoken a word to me. She'll talk to Cathy and invite her to go to dinner with her. She just invited her to the Howie Day concert that's going to happen in about 30 minutes.



She can give me the silent treatment all she wants. I stood my ground. I'm not allowing you to copy all my hardwork anymore. If that means no more talking to you, that's fine with me.

Finished Season Two of Merlin!

That was a good one. I can't even express how...Colin Morgan you are beyond amazing. I shall start season three tonight.

MIA Explanation...plus it's Thursday

So I've been missing for a few days and I have some very reasonable explanations. Number One: I'm sick. I've had a sore/scratchy throat for a couple days now but on Tuesday I woke up with coughing, sneezing, and a bit of a runny nose. Sorry for the details (not really). Anywho, I haven't been feeling up to typing. I've been on tumblr though, just catching up on people that I follow.

Reason number two: Exam and a huge paper. My paper is due tomorrow and I'm only halfway done. Gah! I shouldn't have procrastinated but that's part of the job description of being a college student...well, any sort of student really.

Reason three: Trying to stay away from obessessive Humans Vs. Zombies players. Oh my grilled cheesus, they've been ridiculous. I was a zombie (became a corpse Wednesday morning) and I was threatened at every time I went outside by a bunch of random humans. I wasn't even looking to tag anyone! I just wanted to go to my room or go to the dugout to get food! Humans have been dragged out of safe zones, people have been knocking their books out of their arms so someone can come from behind and push-the-hell-out-of-them/tag them, and it had gotten to the point that I didn't want to play anymore. So I didn't. Tuesday I decided to "starve myself to death" and so I died at 3am on Wednesday. It gave me such a relief knowing that I wasn't going to be attacked by over paranoid humans.

Those are basically it. I have one more episode of season two of Merlin to watch, which I'm hoping to look at around 4pm today. I finally watched the Mash-Off episode of Glee yesterday. I almost cried for Santana. That's all I'll say if others haven't seen it yet.

Funny Poetry About Sex

Must finish philosophy homework before watching Merlin! Gah, but who wants to read an entire article about torture? I sure don't.



Anywho, I'm still alive for Humans vs. Zombies. Got a guy I know since last year, but he's not planning on playing as a zombie so I really just helped him quit the game. Works for me though! And I saved a couple of my friends.

I just came back from a meeting of the literary magazine of the college I go to. I submitted a few poems and once again they've all been shot down. I was hoping we would talk about it but since they didn't even get enough votes for Round One, we didn't discuss. I was really hoping to find out why they didn't like my poems. I was confused on what they were looking for, what they find interesting...until today. Apparently, the ones that get an automatic yes (have enough votes to surpass the rounds and just gets put into the book without discussion) are the funny ones, the ones about sex, the ones about penises, the ones that are funny and about penises, and the super philosophical ones.



I don't write any of those types of poems. I don't think I ever will. I might try a "philosophical" one but it's just not my style. I feel like I'll never be able to get my poems in the book because I don't write what the board finds interesting. I'm not funny. Plain and simple. I don't and won't write about penises. I might write about sex but it will probably not be obvious or what I'm writing about will symbolize sex. I don't know.

I submitted ones about love, an imagery poem about a fallen angel being trapped, and something else that right now I can't remember. But the ones I mentioned were my favorite and I thought they would like. But apparently not.

I'm not going to give up though. Just because they don't like it doesn't mean others don't either. But this constant rejection from not only the literary magazine but life in general is really getting me down.

Saturday: Zombies Continue

I noticed I forgot to mention class registration. That was a week or so ago. Remember that sociology class, History of Social Thought? Yeah, I didn't get in but neither did Jane. I'm not sharing any classes with her either so yay for that! I just don't have time for people copying my work. What classes I am taking are Writing Fiction, Seminar on Creative Writing: Poetry, Social Statistics, and Romantic Literature. Plus two PE courses of bowling and social dance. It's going to be a busy semester come January.

Now to today: With me being a zombie I have to feed/tag someone at least every 30 hours or I die of starvation and become a corpse. I ended up tagging one of my friends so I have until tomorrow at 8pm before I'm dead. You can join a pack of zombies and share your kills so if one of my friends gets someone they'll share with me and I'll stay alive a bit longer, and vice versa. It's hilarious though. Everyone is running and screaming. We cornered this one guy but we were going to let him go 'cause he just wanted to eat dinner but another zombie came behind him and tagged him. Poor kid.

Went to see the movie Friends with Benefits, which they were showing here on campus. It was a pretty good movie. I enjoyed it. Made me wonder would I be willing to do that and I realized no. Even if it wasn't sex, like I just made out with the guy, I still don't think I would do it. I would probably become emotionally attached. No, I know I would.

Is it sad that I consider it? But I don't want just the physical. I actually do want to be in a real relationship. I've never been in a relationship, or been on a date. I feel kind of pathetic really. I don't understand what's wrong with me. One guy in high school said he had doubts or whatever, and the one here in college freshman year wasn't over his ex. But if you're not over her, why come to me? And then the guys I'm attracted to because of their personality and looks, they want nothing to do with me. Actually, they end up liking one of my friends. She is literally boy crazy. Every time she thinks a guy is cute, she'll go into stalker mode and obsesses about him for weeks. Then she'll find another guy she likes and it continues. It annoys me, but I'd never say that.

I just...I want to meet a guy who likes to hang out with me, just chat, watch movies, just everyday stuff, even study together. I'd like to cuddle on the couch while we watch Pirates of the Caribbean or Harry Potter. I'd like to be able to look at him and he'll give me his goofy smile and I can't help but smile back. I'd like to know everything I could possibly know about him and he about me. I'd like him to trust me with his secrets and dreams, and I'd like to share my dreams with him. Is that too much?

Zombie Dance

I missed another Thursday but I have legit reasons. Also, I wanted to post yesterday but I ended up going to a party last night, so I have much to say on that. Plus, I need to tell you about tonight (no party). There's just so much that I feel like I'll post twice: one for Thursday/Friday and one for Saturday (today). Here goes the first ones:

Thursday I was super busy writing my English paper which has now been extended to Monday. Hooray! I feel like my paper sucks because I went in to talk to the professor about it on Wednesday and she told me that it seemed like I didn't have anything to say, and that it was "high school style" because it was only 5 paragraphs. I didn't plan on it being 5 paragraphs. Anywho, I rewrote it that night, sent her my ideas on it, and then went to the writing center on Thursday for editing and such. Then I get the email that at least 3 students are rewriting and she was giving us until Monday to finish it. It makes me wonder if she thinks my new paper is horrid too.

Friday I ended up not going to my sociology class. I was so tired from reading and writing the paper Thursday night that I overslept. I did go to my philosophy class. Oh! On my campus we're playing Humans vs. Zombies. We just started Friday morning. I stayed a human for 8 hours. It was terrible! I survived going to philosophy but after I came out, a girl ran across the quad towards me and I threw a sock at her, stunning her. But when I went through the halls to my dorm, a kid came out of the stairwell and tagged me. Gah! I was so upset! One of my friends was tagged way before me, so we decided to go human hunting together. I got my first "kill" today by getting one of my friends. Oh, I'll talk about that in my next post.

Friday night...Last friday night yeah we danced on table tops...Well, I didn't. I saw some other people do it. I went to a frat party. One of my friends is a pledge and it was a party celebrating all the new pledges so I went to support and to have some fun. I get there, it's more of a drinking party than a dancing party. A majoriy of my friends who went were paired off in couples and drunk off their minds. I don't drink, don't see the point, so I was a bit annoyed and didn't really want to be around a bunch of people. I was planning on leaving but one of my non-drunk friends asked me to go dance with her upstairs cause she didn't want to dance alone. I went. Danced a bit.

Long story short: dealt with a bunch of drunks, danced with a random person I didn't know for about 2 minutes then we were separated, asked a guy I liked to dance but he was too tired from wrestling with one of his "brothers" to dance, the other guy I really really wanted to dance with had guard duty..again, met a nice guy named Bobby who's a psych major and vice-pres of the martial arts club here (he's pretty cool. Didn't talk long. I know my zombie friend made him go dance with me), and had to watch as Jane danced with Steve again for like an hour or so until 3 in the morning and I didn't want to stay any longer so I took my drunk zombie friend back to his dorm while Jane stayed with Steve and one of my friends.

All in all, not a good night. I didn't really want to be there. I wanted to leave after the first 15 minutes. I ended up staying for 4 hours. 4 hours of depression.

If you want to read about today's happenings, give me a minute to type. Please and thank you!

Season Finales Always Get Me

I just finished season one of Merlin. I started crying ten minutes into the last episode.

And never stopped.

Good Mood Down the Toilet

Holy Fuck Shit!

There goes my good mood. Jane, one of my roommates, just came up to me asking if I was taking the sociology class "History for Social Thought". I'm pretty sure (no, a hundred percent sure) she knows I'm planning on it since it is a required class for one my majors.

Well now her ass wants to take it. I don't want to take another class with her. She doesn't do work, and she thinks all of these other classes are not important enough like her science classes. She'll be wanting to see/read what I have, work with me, and I'm not doing that again! I'm not doing her work for another semester. I refuse.

When I didn't seem thrilled about her possibly joining me she wanted to know if I was mad. Of course I'm mad! But I said I was preoccupied and wasn't listening.

Ugh...what will be worse is...if she gets into the class and I don't, I'm going to be pissed the hell off because she doesn't need this class. And she'll most likely complain and complain all semester and I'm just going to want to punch her in the face.

Merlin is My Life

I have many things to write on this rainy Thursday, so I won't be answering any questions today.

1. I've started watching BBC's Merlin on Hulu. It's such an amazing show! When it first came out, I watched the first two episodes but then I forgot about it (I think it was on Sundays and I don't want a lot of television on Sundays). But I've found it again thanks to one of my friends. I'm watching episode 9 of season one right now. I have a feeeling I'll be done with both seasons by the end of next week, maybe earlier. Merlin has taken over my life!

2. Remember that midterm I was worrying about? I got an A-. Awesome right?! And the paper for one of my English classes, another A-. And last but not least, my SCE for my philosophy class, an A+. I'm on a roll right now!

3. I'm not allowing Jane to get to me anymore. I'm really falling the guidelines my counselor has been giving me. I don't want this to be a miserable year. I'm going to enjoy my college career. High school was horrible for me, but I'm going to make college a thousand times better.

4. I'm going home this weekend. I really need a break from Jane and Cathy. And a break from campus. I haven't been home in two months, and my hair shows. Haha, it's starting to get puffy and hard for a comb to get through it. Plus I want to spend time with my mom and lay in my own bed for once. Even though home isn't all sunshine and rainbows 100% of the time, I still miss it.

5. I'm doing NaNoWriMo. I can't remember if I wrote about that. Plus I'm doing a "Poem A Day" so I'm going to be writing a whole bunch this November. Speaking of writing, I submitted poems to my school's literary magazine. I hope I get in this year. The poems I sent, I really like them. It would be great to see if others enjoy them too.

I'm sure there is more that I wanted to write about, but I can't remember anymore. Oh! I'm glad the glee hiatus is over and I can't wait until the 8th. Jane watched the last episode with me on Tuesday. She talks during it and I miss some of the things. I hope she goes to karate next week so she won't be in the room while I'm watching.

I believe that's it for now. Back to Merlin.
