elsajeniTerminator is on Spike tonight. For those who perhaps do not know this, Terminator is more or less my favorite movie ever. It has pretty much everything I could ever want, and also, I semi-secretly think Arnold Schwarzenegger is adorable. (Well. Was adorable, I should say.) So I'm sitting on the sofa by myself, while all my roommates hang out in their rooms, some of them probably wishing I weren't here so they could watch something they actually want to see -- sitting here, watching Terminator and grinning maniacally, posting on LiveJournal, receiving my assignment for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hp_summersmut and being excited about it, pondering an original writing project, and painting my toenails with glow-in-the-dark nail polish. Which is a little more multitasking than I'm normally up for at 2 AM on a Saturday night, but I took a nap in midafternoon, drank about a gallon of iced tea at dinner and some hot tea a little while ago, and am fairly wired and hardly about to want to go to bed, so why not?
Overall, I'm feeling good. Everything is going pretty well in my life at the moment. Zack and I have moved almost all of our stuff into New Apartment, have been living full-time over here for a week, and it's fantastic, I love it, I want to stay here with these roommates forever and ever and ever. I got my application in to UH; they don't have my transcript and at this rate probably won't in time for me to start in Summer I, but I should be able to start in fall.
Ooh, this scene where they're interrogating Kyle Reese is so frustrating. OH ARGH OH ARGH. I FORGOT THERE IS THIS PART WHERE ARNOLD CUTS HIS HUMAN EYEBALL OUT WHICH IS WHY HE HAS A ROBOT EYEBALL FOR THE REST OF THE MOVIE. ARGH ARGH WHY DO I LIKE THIS MOVIE THIS IS GROSS AND HORRIBLE. Okay, that's done with, I can relax. Euccch ick ick ick. Eyeball-cutting is not okay with me.
Where was I? Oh, right, "everything is going well". Apartment, school... work, too. I've been doing editing for my dad for a while now, and have posted about it before, but now one of his fellow professors has also hired me to do some writing/editing, and I'm really excited about that. (And not least because the guy who's not related to me pays considerably better than my dad, too.) I've got several fanfic writing projects going on/coming up, and am excited about all of them -- the prompts! so excited! hooray! -- and also, like I mentioned, the one original writing project. (I'm disinclined to post much about it; it stresses me out a little and makes me feel like I'm going to jinx it somehow. In general, though: ADVENTURE! ARCHAEOLOGY! READERS ABOUT AGES 9-13! DREAMS OF PUBLISHING SUCCESS!)
Wait, how did the police station catch fire? He drove a car into it and then shot everything... I guess it was one of those special movie automatically-catching-fire-when-crashed cars. DAMMIT TERMINATOR WHY MUST YOU DISTRACT ME FROM PARTS OF MY POST THAT ARE NON-TERMINATOR-RELATED.
Oof. There was something else I was going to post about, but I don't know what it was anymore. Too many cyborgs with guns.
(Note: Since Terminator came on a little over an hour ago, I have seen about 20 Girls Gone Wild commercials. That's pretty good audience targeting right there.)
