Amanda's boyfriend has apparently stood her up. And she's freaking out. Poor thing.

But this just underscores for me how glad I am that I only date women. Both Elise and Amanda have had huge boyfriend issues. They've stuck with their boyfriends through dozens of things that, if they'd happened just once to me, I would have sent my girlfriend packing. Okay, some of it I can understand trying to work through...but the rest of it is just their insecurity over being alone, I think.

And Amanda's bitching at me because I don't have nearly as much homework as she does. That's because I tested out of the menial classes. And when I do have homework, I do it fast and well(a paper I wrote last week for Sociology, done in maybe half an hour that I thought was crap, earned 9 out of 10 points). And somehow this is all my fault.

Dah.

In other news, a guy I've met here, James, burned me copies of the RENT CDs ~hugs them~

Have to make a decision about my trip home in November... I have the opportunity to go to Miami with Project Y.E.S. to go to a conference with the National Gay and Lesbian Taskforce (at least, if I'm remembering my conferences right. They go to lots of things. One later this month that I know I can't make...one in October, I believe, and then the November one). However, the Miami trip overlaps the weekend of Les Miz.

I'm not excited about Les Miz. Nothing I've heard about the show (or even performed in in that little musical number last spring) has made me fall in love with it and put it on my list of shows I must see before I die. However, I do know several of the cast members and I always love to see my friends perform.

But how many chances will I have to go on an expenses-paid trip to Miami?

I'd still come home in November. I'd probably come home on Halloween or the first of November (depending on the Halloween events going on here on campus) and stay through Sunday afternoon (November 2. So we'd all have to celebrate my birthday a day early). If I go to Miami then I'm definitely not going to Chicago; I just won't have the money to pay for incidentals in Miami if I've been shopping in Chicago the weekend before.

Dah. I hate scheduling conflicts. They suck so much. So very very much.

But hey, I'm definitely going back to Holland on October 3rd. Though I don't know if I'm going to be celebrating my dad's birthday then anymore. My dad heads out tomorrow for Baltimore to help clean up after Hurricane Isabel. Which is cool. Apparently he has to drive there, because when I talked to my parents on the phone today (they want me to call every Sunday, yet when I called they were heading off to church, and apparently that's more important than talking to me :-P Can I add this to my reasons to hate the church?) they mentioned something about my dad stopping by here tomorrow on his way out. ~shrugs~ But hey, if he's still out in Baltimore next Friday (although that seems like a really long time to be out doing clean up...) that means more time for all of you, 'cause if he's there I have to have lunch around 3 with my family.

But yeah. I'm tired. I think I'm gonna go read my sociology book in my room. Listen to RENT. Maybe write a bit on the J/R fic. One of the old-school AM authors, Ruby, reviewed 'Family Bonding' and has volunteered to write scandalous tabloid articles for me. But now I'm procrastinating writing more on the fic 'cause I want her article, even though I could write about half a chapter before the first article goes in...I procrastinate on everything. It's quite sad.

Oh, I was reviewing my psych notes earlier today and came across a note I'd taken randomly that I figured you all would enjoy:
The vagina is a hostile place. (Real note) I think it's inherently lesbian (my comment. I get easily sidetracked in that class)
