Yes, that's a Will & Grace quote from like a million years ago, when I watched Will & Grace.
At any rate, today was a good day. The story I wrote for Tapply's class, which I had generally been feeling Not Very Happy with, got workshopped and went over quite well. There are definitely issues in the story, which definitely got noticed, but I also got a lot of shiny compliments (and Tapply seemed to really like it), and since I am an insecure little attention whore, this quite made my afternoon.
In other news, I have a car, as of two days ago (I just have to go back to Jersey and get it). I was expecting to have to shell out quite a chunk of money to cover at part of the cost, but this afternoon my mother told me that the deal on the car was actually cheap enough that she's covering the whole thing. So that's an extra several hundred dollars I actually don't have to spend. That's the sort of good new you don't get every day.
It also leaves me with a more flexible budget for buying GIRL SCOUT COOKIES. Apparently it is that time of year again. I fucking love Girl Scout Cookies.
Fellow Clarkies, this is your cue to laugh at me: I had my first Moe's burrito today. Yes, I am a junior... yes, that means I have lived in Worcester for slightly upward of two years without ever going to Moe's... okay, that's enough, you can stop laughing now.
Oh, and karate club finally freaking started. Yay karate! Also, yay not being the least experienced person in the class by several years! It was nice to labor under the delusion that I actually know karate, if only for an hour and a half. (From now on, though: If I leave class and I am not sweaty and in pain, something is wrong.) I do seem to have lost my paperwork for the next belt level, though, but this is easy enough to fix.
"Girl, Interrupted" makes me happy. It makes me feel all normal an' stuff. On the other hand, being flat-out flailing-and-raving psycho just looks so liberating sometimes.
