slumber | and I remember why staying at home sucks out all productivity

~~Wuh. Why is my teh_music post not posted yet? I know I put it up before the last batch of posts, woe. :\~~ It's up, hurrah!

They cancelled classes today, and of course I'm pleased, because it means a few extra days to read up on the Insurance Code and do exercises in Finance (which I keep typing as Finacne, wtf :|) -- and

jaig! You don't have to submit your research paper just yet, do you? :D -- but I'll be damned if I can ever be productive sitting at home. :\

Am going to this cafe place that my friend found, though, which is near our house and is relatively cheap for spending a dozen hours studying. Hopefully I can, with a burst of channeled energy, finish everything I need done for Marketing next week. Or something. Hurrah.

Watched Aeon Flux yesterday with my brother instead of Memoirs of a Geisha because we came too late and didn't want to see Memoirs halfway through, even though plenty have told us that Aeon Flux was a disappointment.

It was.

Plenty of my friends, because of Valentine's Day, I'm certain, have been all with the wallow lately. (Much love to all, by the way, and yes, this IS a late post on Valentine's. Ish. Don't you know, lateness is my trademark. Wouldn't be me if I wasn't late, and everything.) So, hm. If anyone's in the mood, here's a couple of different media. :|

Wallowing Resource Material:

For Wallowing - the playlist, which isn't much and is probably horribly outdated. I don't know the songs I own, but yes. Request away. :| I'll likely have time over the weekend to upload them for you.
A Story of Love - the story, by Ray Bradbury. Randomly posted, because my friend told me about it and I looked it up and wuh. Pretty cool.
The Art of Losing - the poem, by Elizabeth Bishop, which I remembered from first year readings and tried looking up, because I kept wanting to show it to my friend. (Yes, dolts, I'm not making her up. :| Incidentally, she was the one who referred me to the poem I posted a couple of entries back.)
DVDs - so I can't link to any of them, sadly, and neither can I offer them up for sending to random people, but no wallowing is good wallowing without ice cream, tissue, and these movies: Love Actually, Closer, Brokeback Mountain (Duh. :P), Love Story (which I've never actually seen, but you know. :P), and you know what? Try Little Manhattan on for size too.
Wallow Food - According to Barbara Novak, chocolate's a good substitute as any for a man, and this, Willy Wonka says, is because chocolate releases endorphins, which give people the feeling of being in love. If you've no chocolate, there's always ice cream, Oreos, chips, butter-caramel popcorn, pizza, etcetera. :P

Yes, I think that's about it for today. ♥

I lost what little interest I had in Aeon Flux when the producers refused to release it to critics. How's that for confidence?

Anyway, thank you for the wallowing resources, it's a very good list. I think I shall have to make use of it, because even though my Valentine's Day consisted of finding out the girl I like felt the same, ten days into the relationship we're already having issues. :/

Whoa, I never knew that. I knew not to be interested in it because my flist isn't, and I've heard of so many films here that are fabulous that when they miss something as mainstream as Aeon Flux, you know to stay away. :P But we were bored, and anyway, we watched Memoirs of a Geisha the day after to make up. :P

Glad you like it. :P Aww, dude, just stick with the issues and try to work them out, alright? My friend broke up with her boyfriend because they'd been having issues and two days later, she realised she made a mistake. A week after, she realised she'd been the one in the wrong. One month in and the world still hasn't forgiven her. :\

*hugs*

See, that there is a good strategy. ♥ flists.

I plan to stick with it, but it's so argh. 'Cause like... the beginnings of relationships are always awkward, right, because you have to sort of figure out the terms of the relationsip, what you're allowed to do, how much time you want to spend together. But Sara and I have this zomg sekrit UST, so because we spend all our time in public standing two feet away from each other it's hard to know how to act when we are alone. Which equals the UST remaining UST and me feeling ignored and unloved.

Sorry, I didn't mean to rant.

Moi aussi. :D

Lol, ranting's fine. If you can't talk to anyone, you'll only burst, and that's not a good thing. :P That does sound pretty terrible, but maybe you can talk to her about it and, I don't know. I guess some things you're supposed to figure out as you go along, but maybe the other things you can, like, lay out on the table or something. What are you both okay with doing, what shouldn't you do, and so on, maybe? Haha, it'll be fine, though, I'm sure of it. Maybe she just doesn't know what she should be doing and is too shy to ask, who knows? :D

Well I feel stupid ranting to my LJ because it's been all "OMG SARA OMG LOVE" for the past ten days straight. :P It's just awkward. Especially since I'm always reaching out and coming up behind her in the hallways and giving her big hugs, etc., and she just totally ignores me most of the time when we're not alone. She doesn't even look at me. Like. Nyer. I do want to talk to her about it, but the reason I haven't yet is that she's coming over to my house tomorrow, which is a whole new level of privacy, so maybe we can work things out then.

*g* That's perfectly fine, I think there's plenty of reason to have problems with adjusting or something for new relationship-type things. :P *snugs* Hope things get better when she comes over. :D
