 I'm taking the GREs today, and i feel like i'm going to puke.  Was reading CM recaps to distract myself, unfortunately looking at pictures of PB did not calm me down.  I *hate* having crushes, and celebrity crushes make me feel pathetic.

I should probably be studying furiously, but i feel like yuck.  I've been in limbo too long and i need to get out of it.  Graduating college really blows.  i don't recommend it.  Stay in for as long as possible.

Wrote a bunch of notes for Emily's Notebooks yesterday, while i was supposed to be studying for the GREs.  Maybe working on that will calm me down, but i doubt it.

Self mutilation sounds attractive right now.  Fuckity fuckity fuck.

I survived, thank god, not too great but not too shabby either. Cried a lot in the car home with my dad, who was like, "meh, i did better than you on the verbal, even though i took it when it was an entirely different test, don't remember my exact score and it was 9 years after college, not 1." a**hole.

Fathers. Gotta love 'em.

What's a GRE? (I ask this as a 16-yr old Brit, not just as an ignorant idiot) I get that it's some sort of soul-crushing standardized test [as standardized tests often are], but what's it for?

And hey, everyone has a celebrity crush. Everyone. Seriously. "Pathetic" doesn't enter the equation until you get your second restraining order in a month.

Also, random question on Paget: how do you feel about the new hair?

The GRE is indeed a soul-crushing standardized test that is a prerequisite for applying to graduate school in America. You pay $150 for the privilege of taking a three hour exam which tests middle-school maths, vocabulary, and whether or not you can bullshit an essay.

I am so incredibly awesome at bullshitting essays, mainly because i can get angry and riled up at the most innocuous question. :)

I'm not even sure about this grad school thing. I want to go, but i don't know what for. I would really like to do a taught MA in the UK on something incredibly esoteric. My mom did the social history of art at Leeds, and read all the stuff i want to read. i'd do that, but I'm just not that into art. I'm looking into Folklore programs though, because i obviously never want to get a job. *groans*

I don't usually get crushes on people very often, and when i do i usually just wait it out and it will go away. This one hasn't yet, and it's very irritating.

The hair... in truth, looks like it could use a wash, but that's probably the photo. Really, there's not much she could do to it that i would have a problem with. I didn't even mind the fringe. I could rhapsodize for a little bit, but i won't, because that would be embarrassing.
