As you can see, UNREALIST is now part of prodigal-angel.net, because
I've got too much free space on my hosting account to throw it on a freesite with content
advertising *shudder*
UNREALIST is my personal site and fanlisting collective. I host
three fanlistings here, two of which are OFFICIAL and approved by TFL.org, and you can
also see the many differemt fanlistings which I have joined. I also have quizzage, funny
quotes, personal bio, cosplay (eventually), photos, a blog (with RANTS! shudder),
and original fiction and poetry (hosted on my deviantart account). I will also have
quizzes and sewing tips and patterns for those of us who are hopeless romantics without
much cash or time.
Enjoy your stay, and mind the ghoulies. ;-)
The new layout features an image by Victoria Frances scanned by Aethereality.net, fonts from 1001 Free Fonts, and brushes by Lush Brushes. Micro-buttons from this site.The
graphic effects were created with Paint Shop Pro 5. It is green because green is my
favorite color, specifically this green which I lovingly call "puke green." The
title is Acidic Lucia, in honor of Sir Walter Scott's Bride of of Lammermoor and
its operatic counterpart. Long live the Victorian madwoman!
Finally. I went to get sandals (which I did, they sort of look Greek-warrior-ish), but I bought a pink cutsew with a little bow at the collar because I am saddened by my wardrobe's lack of bright colors. That being said, I also bought a fabulous dress with a full skirt and ruffled shoulders that is pitch black...but has really beautiful embroidery on it. Flowers and such--almost looks like a traditional folk dress or something. Anyway I fell in love with it and got it. I am appeased in matters of shopping currently.
Also: Nostalgia moment was had watching My Little Pony and Slayers!NEXT the other day. I'm loving youtube atm, and hating Michael Bay. Hating him so sooo much.
BTW, I don't if I mentioned it, but my mother has an apartment in Asheville as of this upcoming August. Which means.....I NEVER HAVE TO GO TO FLORIDA AGAIN!!! *squee* Besides, if I went back for my high school reunion, it may end up like a Stephen King novel (pigs blood and flames, et al). So here's to NC, home sweet home. *clicks heels together*
After coming back in town from my grandfather's funeral service in KY, I went straight to working days that start at 8:30 and don't end until after ten pm. Mornings and early afternoons, I'm working in the library, and evenings I have the opera (which I am actually running lights for) workshop. We opened the other evening, and the workshop closes Saturday.
Sorry for the long-time, no-post. I have a break between this week and when I start classes in July where I'm just working at the library, so no more rushing around. I'm hoping to get some personal stuff done and maybe hang out with people now that my life has settled down and I'm no longer jumpy/tense/homocidal? about every little thing...*sigh*
I'm so excited for this summer. I'm tackling an Independent study in French, a summer class in Anthropology (july-august), and I have one of the summer student job spots at the library. I was also very surprised yesterday when Pr. Caprilli met me after convocation and asked if I could still intern with she and Michael for the Opera Workshop (a week and a half long workshop for voice and music students; the opera this year is Cosi Fan Tutte). I said yes, as I am available the weeks she needed, and it pays 200 bucks. I haven't had many joyful things happen recently (mainly a lot of tears, blood, and prayer), so I thought I'd update with a happier message. I can't believe my good fortune--first I gave up an Oxford summer invite due to costs, then I was prepared to live on a couch in Florida and sell my electronics to sustain myself, then I got a flat, but no job--It would have been a nightmare for my mother and I. Now, I suddenly have a job, a paid internship, an independent study, and I also found out the scholarships I received this year actually did something more than replace my grant. If anyone tells you "grades don't matter," they lie.
I'll probably be absent from my personal journal pretty often these next weeks, as you can see. I hope everyone has a great summer!
Well, this course anyway. Off to tear out brains with a spiky spoon err..study for Late Modern exam. Next year I'm taking two classes with Dr. Meehan featuring the work of dead white guys. And you know what I've decided? I like them, darn it. I like the dead white guys. *sigh* I'm compensating by throwing in a post-modern global women writer's course with Dr. Dulan. No comments,just a PSA *hums GI Joe theme*
Okay, so I've not had time to make a post in awhile (besides the PMS-driven whiny posts I'm sure everyone is sick of *including myself*), and I figure I'd update now: This is my final exams/papers to-do: May 15 - After 5:00 meet for Late Modern study group May 16 - 11:00 am FINAL EXAM in class (yes, on a saturday, but meh); proctoring in the afternoon May 17 - proctoring, cleaning May 18 - proctoring, Work Study May 19 - Work Study May 20-23 GRADUATION MARSHALL DUTY. It gets all caps because it will suck up my life. May 24-26 Move into flats I will not be able to attend Animazement or any other event requiring money because ( my glasses were destroyed and I had to purchase new frames and lenses. Joy! )
But hark--I bring tidings of joy, completely real and not sarcastic joy! I have my Summer job at the library, which means I will have MONEY. ( HALLELUJAH! )
The students protested today about the termination of the German department, and let me tell you now, this sh*t is going down. Apparently, Salem's constitution states there can be no termination of a departmental position without the Board's first notifying the Department Chair. Dr. Hammer, chair of Modern Languages was NEVER notified and she was pissed at the faculty meeting and stormed out. I am officially upset with President Pauly and very proud of my fellow students who held up posters reading "Sprechen Sie Deutsch? Not anymore! Wo ist unsere stimme?" and chanting "Who founded our college? German women!"* It was very moving and definitely effective.
*Salem was founded by Moravian women who traveled here from German-speaking Pennsylvania. Our entire college's first textbooks and legers are in German as well.
