how did I vomit words, I don't even

windhovernote to self: never, never, do not ever run uphill on High Street, not even when the roads are clear-ish, not even when you feel like nothing can take you down. never again.
ugh.
It's been raining all day, causing a nice, thick haze to settle over the snow. It would be beautiful if not for the muck and congealed, icy slush that makes trekking this town a real hazard. Classes were canceled today past 5, and with the forecast of even more snow tonight, I can only hope that it'll stay that way into tomorrow.
First quiz in Econ was today, and I'm pretty sure I bombed it. But hey, I finally caved and bought the $40 homework pass, so maybe now I can actually start improving my grade. Speaking of caving, I also went and ordered the two textbooks I've been needing for my Religions class-- another $60 or so down the drain. (For the record, there are still two more textbooks for yet another class that I have yet to acquire, although those aren't quite as important.) ... And then I went to Play-Asia and bought two Ultimanias, both ~$30 each, plus another ~$30 in shipping.
So now I am pretty much flat-ass broke. But I feel like it was worth it.
It feels weird to write a journal entry as, you know, a real entry rather than just a quick bullet-list full of "lol"s, "omg"s, "orz"s and various "aw shiiit"s and other obscenities. (Not to devalue them, of course; I like being able to write with utmost carelessness in my own journal.) Maybe it's because I've already had more than my fair share of "aw shiiit" moments while navigating the slushed-out campus today, but I don't know. It could also be that I'm feeling extra verbose after tagging around with Gabranth, like I usually do.
I'm also feeling more confident with my writing lately, and I think it's partly (or entirely, even) because of that, as well. Even though I continue to see and be amazed by much better writers and role-players than me, I don't think I've ever felt more at home with playing any other character. Writing his voice and being able to bounce that off other amazingly well-played characters has done more for my confidence in my writing abilities than anything else-- not just with RP, but even with my original works (even though I'm sure no one gives a damn about them now and no one ever will, at least not until I try to get published), even with writing papers and essays.
Speaking of which, we received our first real assignment in Religions today, a paper due next week. One topic drew my eye, and I knew I had this in the bag:
In The Analects of Confucius, Confucius discusses the honorable person [...] Discuss this concept of an honorable person and how one might become known as honorable.
I left that class feeling on top of the fucking world.
... And that's what led me to try running uphill back to the dorm. ugh.
I still feel kind of giddy from it, though. I want to write. Heck, I might even try writing something for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ff_fortnightly. One of the themes this round is "law and order," after all.
k, the verbosity from my IC mindset is startin' to wear off, and my lungs still hurt from that run. I think I might go to bed early tonight. uuuugh.
ugh.

Date: 2010-02-10 01:56 am (UTC)I wish I was thinking coherently enough right now to give you a more substantial response than that

Date: 2010-02-10 02:02 am (UTC)What kind of substantial response can you make to "aw shiiit"?
no subject
Date: 2010-02-10 02:10 am (UTC)"aw shiiiiit"
"fuuuuuuck"
"goddamniiiiit"
"aw shitcock"
"mother god damn"
"shit, shit, shiiiiiiiit"
and so on
I'm normally much more well-spoken than this IRL, so I'm sure I accidentally gave a lot of people the wrong impression of me today
