Because of recent events with LJ and the whole return of strikethrough, i've decided to make GJ and IJ accounts as well to be on the safe side~ For now i'll keep my LJ account as my main one and hope nothing happens, but the othersw are there just to be safe. I've downloaded Semagic because i've heard it's handy for posting to multiple journals at once so this s just me giving it a try~ ^___^

It has been a crazy week, i tell you what! Tuesday there was some major snowfall here and they ended up canceling classes for the remainder of the day, which bothered me at first because it wasn't that bad outside, but in the end was great~ They extended the snow day through Wednesday as well~ So for Valentine's day Vanessa, Mary, and I went to Slayter Hill and went sledding! ^-^ Mary, who's from Florida, was the only one with an actual sled too. ^-^;; heh heh~ But Vanessa and i found a deflated pool bed thing, which we dubbed the rainbow-tastic sled of funness, and that worked like a charm. We had such a blast goin' downhill and off of the crazy-stupid-college-boy jumps, as i've called them. We then proceeded to watch "Cats Don't Dance" and "Moulin Rouge". It was a very enjoyable evening.
And then last night, Vanessa, Vicky, and I had a little high school flashback evening. We pulled out the old slide shows and graduation films; the plays and dance shows, and just sat around and reminisced. And Jen turned out to be my secret Valentine! She gave me a bag of dark chocolate hershey's kisses and drew me a lovely Snarry picture even though she's very much a Snermione shipper~ Awww~ ^-^ ~♥♥♥
Also, i am done with classes for today! All i had was Comparative Mythology this morning. My English conference was canceled because the other half of the class didn't have one due to the "snow recess". And i'm not going to my statistics recitation because there's no homework due. So yay~ Done! And i may get to go to the mall this weekend for the first time in like forever~ ^-^

-___- I am beat. I had to run- RUN! to my astronomy lab tonight because the bus was late. And my lab was all the way across campus, which from my dorm, is like two miles. And i RAN! -____- I'm so terribly out of shape now that i don't have dance every week. JFK or swing. And i want to kill my computer because it keeps deciding that it's no going to turn on for a day and then magically it works the next. >___

Okay, lots to post but i might do an abridged addition~
So, Thursday. I took the trolley to class like i usually do and as i'm sitting on the bus, some guy that happens to ride the same day/time that i do sits next to me. Nothing unusual about that, the trolley is fairly small. What got to me was that he had his cell out and, even though i had my earbuds in, he kept taking pictures of my shoes. now i don't know if he had some creepy shoe fetish or if he was just thinking 'lol! This girl is wearing heels in the winter' but it sorta creeped me out. o.0; I'm watchin' you crazy bus man!
On Facebook, i got so sick and tired of dealing with Stalker-man that i changed my status to 'Boussole is not looking for a relationship of any kind. She doesn't even want to meet people' I checked his status and he'd changed it to Chris is :( ^___^ Ha ha~
Then tonight was the McCutcheon Hall Royal Ball aka haul out the old Prom dress and come drink nasty punch. But i had a good time. It's always a blast when the group of us get together to do stuff~ Although mark wasn't there. Lots of crazy dancin' and singin' and plain ol' havin' fun. *is shot for her over use of apostrophes* There were a few moments when i though Matt, my could-become-a-stalker, was going to ask me to dance so i made sure i was loudly and obviously engaged in a conversation. It happened to be about cranberries but, oh well.
Oh! And DementorDelta's valentine's card arrived today! ^-^ ~♥ It's just gorgeous! And all sparkly like a valentine should be~ ^-^ I'm thinking i must send her one in return. Perhaps that shall be my weekend project~ yes~

Phew~ I had two exams today~ TWO! And i am tuckered. Although neither of them were as difficult as i thought they'd be~ Yay! ^-^ I was a bit worried about the exam for my Education Technology class because i haven't read the required chapters out of the textbook ^-^;;; But it ended up being mostly common sense stuff. The few that weren't were covered in lecture so i knew what to answer. And I was ridiculously excited about my Comparative Mythology exam~ It was a breeze, but several times throughout the exam i thought 'Wow. If you don't pay attention to the lecture you'd definitely have missed this!' So yay~ for another easy-ish test!
And to celebrate Ford had sushi again for dinner! ^-^ There always seems to be sushi there when i have an exam. It's like college is saying, "Hey, we know tests suck. Here's some great food to say we're sorry." ^-^ Fu fu fu~
And i need to do laundry!!!!! >____

[05 Feb 2007|11:15pm] |
I feel that i don't write about my week in here as much as i used to. I'm not sure if that's because my weeks are no longer as interesting, if i'm getting lazier, or if college is taking up too much of my time. I'd like to try and write in here like i used to at the beginning of my senior year of HS.
As its Monday, i don't have much to report just yet. The Colts won the super bowl and the campus is still in one piece, despite the insane number of Bears fans being disappointed. I watched the game down in Sagen and Vanessa's room~ I'm so glad i made such good friends out here. I was worried for a bit that i'd just have a bunch of people that were sort of my friends but that i didn't actually speak to like i do Heather or my other really close friends. Natalie for sure has become someone i enjoy talking with and having as a friend. I think of everyone here at college, she's the one i spend the most time talking and hanging out with. We each lunch together every Tuesday and Thursday, and dinner whenever either of us have time. We spend hours just sitting in the dining hall after we've finished eating chatting about this and that, and more often than not, Harry Potter and slash~ ^-^
It's nice having someone who shares my interest in this strange hobby we pursue! Ha ha! ^-^ I'm not sure what i'd do if i didn't have someone i could talk with about these things. Sometimes i just want to explode and tell everyone about something i just read. But i can't, because some people just wouldn't approve or understand why i enjoy these things. So instead, i bundle up all of my excitement and wait until i bump into Natalie before we both go a little bit crazy squeeing over whatever it is.
Oh! Another recent event, i guess you could call it. My roommate, Yoon Jeong, had been going out with some guy for a week or two and she spent the entire time complaining about him and how he wasn't a good person for her. Well, yesterday or this morning, they broke up and she's been much happier. I felt very out of place last night, because she was all distraught over the situation and she started crying. I had no idea what to do or say to help. I'm romantically retarded, so to speak. I had no advice to offer her or words of wisdom to depart. I just gave her a hug and then let her get back to work. I suppose it all worked itself out in the end.
As for relationships- *sigh* I have never had so much trouble with relationships as i have lately. First it was Chris walking me home after club. Then it was Matt commenting on how nice i looked when we went to Chicago to see Wicked. Then it became Andy wanting to hang out and meet for lunch and proceeding to talk about how he was going to break up with his girlfriend. We transitioned into Chris practically stalking me through Facebook, and then Matt wanting to sit and walk with me to my Astronomy lecture because we both have class and then head back to our residence hall. And this afternoon, some guy i don't know started talking to me as i walked to the bus stop, trying to pick me up. -___- *sigh* I don't want to have a relationship right now. I don't want to talk to or see these guys. They are not the type of people i enjoy hanging out with. They don't interest me. The people i do hang out with are fun, intellectual people that don't resort to drinking and partying when there's nothing planned on a weekend. We go to Border's and throw impromptu hat parties. I care more for Ben and Mark, two guys i will never ever date, than i do for any of the men currently trying to pursue me. And not just because we're friends, but because they are nice guys that don't pressure me to hang out with them; that don't talk about going to get drunk after class; that don't resort to cheesy pickup lines or compliments when i'm dressed up.
Normally i dislike being touched by other people, and this held true on Saturday when Matt came up behind me and touched my back. I stiffened, even though i knew he was just being friendly and saying 'hey'. It didn't sit well with me. But earlier that evening, we'd been running out and about and Mark had been joking around and pulling pranks that required touch and it didn't bother me the slightest. He had me in a headlock and was giving me a noogie at one point, and i just laughed and went along with it. Heck, i went to the jazz concert on Friday, and Mark was the only one i danced with. I didn't have a problem with any of that because Mark is a nice guy and doesn't creep me out. This is all ridiculously biased exactly because Mark is a friend, but still. He wasn't always, and i wasn't always comfortable with him. He earned my trust and respect, and therefore my ability to trust him when he pats me on the back or decides to reenact creepy photomanips~ ^_^
Hmm...for having nothing to talk about, i sure did type a lot~ ^-^ Oh well~ I suppose that's what i wanted in the first place~

In English today we revised our essays and were paired up with another student to do this. I had such a hard time not laughing or making bizarre comments when i found out who my partner was~ There's a boy in my class named Jon Noe~ ^-^ Fu fu fu~ I can't help but think of PotterCast everytime i hear it! I just want to walk up to him and be all "Ooooo~ I'm Sirius Black~" ^-^ Fu fu fu~ Well, he ended up being my partner, and i'll tell you, it was tough not laughing right away~ Then at the end of class we played that name game that goes in a circle, everyone repeating the person before you's name and item. My professor decided fruits and vegetables would be a good topic. Can you tell me a fruit or vegetable that starts with the letter J? (Ooo! I gave another clue as to my real name~) There were way too many people with J names in my class as well. I was the second one and i couldn't think of anything so i went with 'jumbo cabbage'. -____- I will forever be haunted by that nickname. Jon was next to me because of our groups and so he of course, had a difficult time as well. He ended up going with 'jumbo pumpkin'. That's when my teacher changed the topic to food in general. Sure! AFTER i'm stuck with the ridiculous one! Everyone laughed everytime we came to my name~ ^-^;;; What an interesting class~

^-^ I was wearing all black today and at lunch Natalie commented on it saying i 'looked like Mrs. Severus Snape'~ ^-^ Hee hee~ I had a good laugh at that and an 'if only' train of thought. No, i don't have nearly enough buttons for Severus to even consider marrying me~ ^-^ Fu fu~

[21 Jan 2007|07:41pm] |
Last night a bunch of us went ice skating and it was sooo~ much fun! ^-^ Jen, Natalie, and Ben had never gone skating before and hadn't been roller blading either! it was hilarious to watch them! Jen clung to her boyfriend the entire time but did fairly well. She fell a few times but otherwise she did good. Ben kind of walked around the rink more than skated but he manages to not fall either~ Natalie was by far the least excited about skating. She clung to the wall like a women possessed! And if she wasn't hanging on to the wall, she was clutching at my arm~ ^-^ But by the end of the night she made it around the rink with out grabbing on to the wall once~
Pretty fun~ And then on the way back we left Ben on Chauncey hill~ @_@ Ooops! It was partially his own fault though! He didn't run for the bus like the rest of us, and it left before he got up to the corner! Natalie was freaking out~ She really is the mother in our little group of friends. And we're afraid Vicky might have gotten a concussion when she hit her head on the elevator door last night, but i haven't seen her today so i don't know for sure~
Chris, my stalker, is being extra annoying and i'm gonna have lunch with Andy again tomorrow~ Andy kind of confuses me. He wants to hang out and get lunch but then complains about how he thinks his girlfriend and he will break up and then they don't. *shakes head* I wonder if he isn't just saying it to see if i want them broken up. *sigh* Boys are stupid. Yoon Jeong and i have both said that phrase more often than not in the past few weeks. Idiots.

| Ridiculously Annoyed |
[19 Jan 2007|09:21pm] |
Graaaaa~
That's all i have to say. Graaaaaa. My creepy stalker Chris from swing club is driving me up a wall!! He asks every weekend if i'm busy or doing something, and so far i've always managed to come up with an excuse or reason not to hang out with him and his friends. I'm not really interested in knowing him outside of swing club. He's nice and all but just not the type of person i like to hang around with. And he always wants to go to movies and things with his friends. 1)Movies here are expensive and nothing worthwhile is playing, and 2) I don't even know who his friends are! It'd be a little creepy showing up and knowing one person and that person you don't even like all that much.
And then today i told him i was helping Natalie buy an external hard drive this weekend and it'd probably take all day. Which is mostly true. If we were to go to the mall to look it would take all day. And i am helping her find one, just not at the moment. But then he offered me help finding one and i kinda went nuts on Facebook. It really irritates me when people offer me help with things i can do quite easily and often times better than the person offering. And i kind of blew up at him by venting in a note about how i'm not technologically retarded like many women. So far, everyone's been kinda worried that i'm super pissed off. Which isn't true. I vented, now i feel better. I don't really hold grudges. But everyone else keeps bringing it up and so it keeps annoying me. JUST LET IT DIE PEOPLE! Move on! Forget it.
*sigh* some people. *shakes head* I think i really will die alone, an old lady, unmarried, at this rate. And really, it doesn't surprise me.

Had a fun evening, last night~ Natalie, Jen, Vanessa, Vicky, Mark, Ben, Sagen, and i all went bowling and played some DDR at the Union. ^-^ It was a blast~ Unfortunately, i'm exhausted now. I did fairly well bowling. It took me less time to get readjusted than it usually does. I bowled over 100 each game. ^-^ The last frame of the first game i got two strikes in a row~ ^-^ I think that's all i've got to say about that~ I'm just so worn out~~~~ -____-

| Thoughts~ |
[13 Jan 2007|12:18am] |
I have been told my name is very pretty more times in the last day than i have in a good couple of years. It seems odd that all of a sudden it should get so much attention. In my EDCI class (which is ridiculously boring) the TA commented on how pretty my name sounded when she came around to take my photograph. The whole class was photographed so that the actual teacher could learn our names and faces. I heard her later pronouncing all of our names to the teacher who was chinese and when she got to my name she said "Boussole. Isn't it pretty?" Of course it was my real name, not Boussole, but they're both french, so...*shrugs* And then in my English class the teacher was calling role and she gets to my name. Of course, she can't pronounce my last name so she just leaves it off like everyone does, and i give her a small hand flick to signify my presence. Then she asks before moving to the next name, "How do you pronounce your last name?" So i tell her and she's all, "Ooh! I like the way that sounds! What is it?" My last name may sound nice in english but in Polish it's just funny, in my opinion. *gasp**shock* People now have two new clues to discovering my real name! ^-^
On another note, I met with Andy from my EDPS class the other day just to hang out and have lunch. We ended up chatting and wandering around campus for a while before he had to go to class. It's nice talking with him, but i'm worried he might want to see me for other reasons. I like Andy, just not in a romantic way. I'm sure if i sat and thought on the idea for a while i could convince myself that it would be possible for me to like him, but that really isn't the way i want my romances to go~ If that makes any sense ._. He talked a lot about how he was having a rough time with his girlfriend and was pretty much single by that point, or would definitely be so by evening. And he wants to get together again already, which i'm not adverse to, but i don't want to see him if it seems i'm giving false advertisement. But i don't want to say anything along those lines to him in case he really is just wanting to meet as friends. Gaa~ How do you know if someone's interested or just being friendly? How do i know if i'm sending false signals or leading guys on without realizing it? @_@ Why is life so complicated?
This is probably why i don't date. It's too much work and too confusing! I don't mean to be self centered but i just don't feel i'm ready for a relationship, as corny as that sounds. I have so little experience with things of that sort that i hardly know where to begin. My sole date consists of prom, if you don't count meeting Andy for lunch, which i'm telling my mind doesn't. *sigh* Ridiculously enough, the idea of living and dying a spinster doesn't bother me all that much. If it's acceptable for men to be bachelors for life, why not women? Why is it we're expected to marry and have children? Why can't we lead a single life like some men and not be talked about scandalously by our relatives? I'm afraid i don't have the answer's to any of those questions.

| An Update~ |
[10 Jan 2007|07:37pm] |
OhayoCon was a blast this weekend~ I spent way too much money! ^-^ I got kind of mad after we had to wait in line for registration an extra 2 1/2 hours because they lost something, but i ended up playing Apples to Apples with some other crazy con-goers, two of whom i actually became kind of friends with~ ^-^ And the dealers room was great! I've never seen so much doujin in one place at one time~ Obviously i've never been to Comiket! I was surprised at the number of Yaoi related panels here as well~ It was surprising to me! And, of course, i went to all of them~ ^-^
The cosplay contest was great, too! Stripper Vash and his friend were the MC's and it was hilarious! I really like some of the skits. My cosplay got a lot of attention as well. I went as May from Guilty Gear again and people kept stealing and petting my dolphin. At one point, i was chasing after it and i hear someone shout, "Better be careful May! Without that dolphin you're just jailbait for Johnny!" ^-^ And there was someone cosplaying Jack Sparrow at the con as well~ I had a good laugh at that~ He was sitting in the bar when i saw him too! ^-^ He gave me a little hat tilt/nod thing, and as a fellow pirate i saluted him~ I wish i would have gotten a picture with him~~~ Running at him shouting 'Johnny' would have been so appropriate! ^-^
And on the day we were leaving, they had this super awesome Murder Mystery lunch thing~ You payed a few dollars for a meal and it was a show that you had to try and guess who the murderer was~ I got it right, it was so great!
My mind is in like five different places so i'm going to stop for now~

| Early morning musings |
[03 Jan 2007|03:38am] |
I realize this is incredibly late...or early depending on how you look at it....to be posting something so random, but really, i just had to get it out. New years eve, technically day as it was three in the morning then as well, Heather and i were sitting in my car and we saw what we have identified as a shooting star. Heather immediately commented on it and said "Make a wish!", i had already made mine by that time. What bothered me is that i am obviously wasting good shooting star wishes on things that can never possibly happen. ^-^; My first instinct was to wish to see Russell. And there you have it, bye bye decent plausible wish. I'm flying out tomorrow morning. There's no way i'm going to mysteriously run into Russell in the airport. Or the Twin Cities for that matter. *sigh* I need a new obsession. One that's actually possible.
Well....time for sleep.

Gods, i hate drunk people! -_- They are much to loud, obnoxious, and overall irritating. Not to mention they curse like sailors. This evening started out nice enough. We had my father's friend and his family over for dinner to celebrate the new year early. We had sushi and it was a very nice meal, if i do say so myself. But after the evening wore on and everyone started playing Apples to Apples all of the adults as well as most of the children had taken in some or a lot of alcohol. -_- I strongly disapprove of drinking, but underage drinking is even worse. My father's friend and his wife both allowed their 14 and 16 year old kids to drink, and they themselves had had a few too many. And the shouting and cursing they got up to was just ridiculous! I normally tolerate some swearing by the people around me; it's to be expected that a few curse words would slip out every now and again. But by the end of the evening, all of the cursing was just making me sick. I don't cuss, as a personal rule, so all of this unnecessary swearing was driving me up a wall. I have no problem cursing in literature or if it's really called for, but swearing just for the heck of it bothers me. And all of the nonsense and shouting just made me want to bang my head against a wall. The table fit my needs quite well in that respect. I sincerely hope tomorrow will be better.

| Snarry Christmas~ ^-^ |
[25 Dec 2006|11:20pm] |
I hope everyone had an excellent holiday~ I know i did! ^-^ I got the IPod i've been bugging my parents for, as well as some fun little doodads to plug into my computers USB ports. Not to mention the second season of House! ^-^
I've been doodling for a while to avoid playing dull games with my family, and while i was running back from the bathroom, i caught my mother glancing at my laptop screen which i had this picture by ac1d6urn on~ I ran over and shut it quickly but she and the rest of my family harassed me the rest of the evening about looking at "porn". At least she didn't catch on that it was two men~ ^-^;; That would have been a little more difficult to explain i think.
Anyways, happy holidays everyone~ And a happy new year as well! ^-^

HP book 7 title was released!!!!!!! X_X Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! *splorfl* I can see so many HP/Bleach parodies popping up right now~ And the title just screams GODRIC'S HOLLOW~ *flails* OMG! I can't believe the titles out!!!!!!!!!! *dies* Somehow, i don't think Godric's Hollow is the big thing. I think it will play a part in the books; Harry goes there, stuff happens, sadness TT_TT. But i think it might have something to do with the All Hallows churches in London~ There are/were three of them. How cool would that be if the final showdown between Harry and Voldemort was in a church~ Or maybe Harry will run into Severus in the church and that's where Snape will be reconciled? Hmm....time to start coming up with some new theories~
ETA: Upon further thought, my idea is utter rubbish......

| Thinking~ |
[20 Dec 2006|11:40pm] |
Hmm....every now and then i feel as if i'm not being as dedicated to my LJ as i used to be. Lately i've noticed i haven't posted anything of real merit or at least chronicled my day/week like in the good old days. Perhaps the loss of Russell has given me less to write about. Maybe i'm just more preoccupied with college. Hmm...well, things will turn out the way they turn out.
On another note, some people that come into the store are idiots. They have no idea what they're doing~ -_-; Someone today was trying to find our store and asked "Wait. Are you in Wilmar or St. Cloud?" *headdesk* Definitely not Wilmar. And then there was an old man in today who thought he knew how to use all of the editing equipment but he obviously didn't. Everytime his film would get caught in the projector and i ran over to help him, he'd just get his hands in the way of what i was trying to fix and make it worse. Plus he smelt like old, sour milk. Blegh~
And i'm looking forwards to this Friday~ I get to see all of my friends~ Yay! ^-^ We're gonna have another game night like we did over Thanksgiving. I'm thinking i might try and convince everyone to go ice skating too~ It isn't terribly cold this winter so they can't complain~ ^-^ Especially after we went sledding without sleds last year!
Saturday i have a family christmas party to go to, and i'm both happy and not looking forwards to it. It'll be fun because i missed the other family get togethers and this is the one with the rich relatives whose house i absolutely love~ It'll be not so fun because we have to drive about an hour to get there, the food is never very good, and the gift exchange rarely yields anything not out of the dollar store. And i'm afraid everyone there will be asking me about how college and engineering are going. -_- I still haven't found an opportune moment to tell my parents i've switched to English.
Heather and Tristan stopped into work yesterday to see me and i ended up telling them then~ Lol~ it's so much easier to tell these types of things to them. Which is to be expected. My relatives...i'm not sure what they would say. I'll probably end up acting along, pretending i still intend to go with engineering and then tell my folks when the timing is right. Knowing me, i'll call them as i'm boarding the plane back to Indiana and let them know then. That way, if they want to discuss it more i can always claim the plane is leaving and i have to turn of my cell~ ^-^ Nah. I wouldn't do that.
However, i think mother might already suspect that i'd rather do something with english. The other night in the car i was complaining about some books that i'd been told were very good but had been rather disappointing. She suggested i become a book critic or editor or something. She's done this a few times before, too; brought up jobs such as being an english teacher or something related to books and words. I think father would accept it quite quickly, but i still hate to let him know i've changed my mind. he's always so enthusiastic about me going into engineering. But i know they'll accept whatever i choose to go with~ That's why i love my parents soooooo~~~~ much! ^-^ And i still need to get father a Christmas gift~ @_@ Talk about last minute shopping~
