Heart of the Oak.

I haven't played WoW since, uh, Halloween, I think. And even then I was behind the gear curve since I couldn't raid with my schedule. My main can't even get into Heroic Halls of Reflection. sad.gif My mage should hit 80 tonight or tomorrow though, that'll be fun.

If you're on Icecrown, I could have you ready for ICC10 in a week. Tops.

Damn you, tv shows, for reminding me of my worst fear. sad.gif

I'm 22. I'm about to graduate college. The apron strings are long gone now, and I'm usually living by myself. I'm at my parents' house for a small amount of time before my new apartment is ready to move into.

I was the editor-in-chief of my college newspaper for 2 years. I collected copies of my newspaper, meticulously filing them away into my portfolio. My parents threw it away when they were cleaning one fateful afternoon.

The writing doesn't matter. The layouts I approved, the front page and the editorials I designed, the mistakes I made and the triumphs I secured for the newspaper-- those are the things that matter, and the only records of them were on those newspapers I collected for my portfolio.

No, there aren't additional copies in the newspaper office. No, no professor or academic adviser saved copies because our newspaper didn't have a working adviser until I installed one, and she acts as our connection to the administration. That's all.

I don't even know what to do with myself. I want a cigarette. I think I'll have one.

Doesn't your school's library have a periodicals archive?
Druken2010-07-18 19:22:58
Some are microfilmed and others are on reserve, yes, but I can't take them. I can make copies, but they aren't the same.

I'm home.

Rant/rave.
Seraku2010-07-19 22:38:37
Rant: My inability to be mean to people at all. There was this horrible customer at work today who yelled at me at work and insulted me in front of everyone. About 20 different comebacks ran through my head to say back to this rude woman, but the only thing that came out was "Have a good day" I wish I could be mean just once sad.gif

At least you've still got your job, right? If you acted on your mean impulses you might not be so fortunate. Let me tell ya, speaking your mind is not always a blessing.

Because weekends are those wonderful things that just beg for you to slack off.

Things are looking really promising on the getting a job front. sad.gif

Good luck though! laugh.gif

I don't see the fuss. Everyone uses Curse for their addons anyway.

The :\\ face was me being unable to decide whether I dislike this or not really care.

I have had a headache all day. ALL DAY. I'm not sure if it's even a headache, and I've taken something for it, and it doesn't work.
I've found out that my headaches are an indication to go get my eyes checked out, and I have to wait til next Tuesday for an appointment, to make an appointment to get my eyes tested. sleep.gif I am not pleased.

I don't care until it goes premium, then I'm dropping it. The Curse updater would be awesome, but I really object to having ads AND removing features from the non-premium client. One or the other I'm totally fine with, but both seems a bit much.
