Name: Samwise, it's a nickname
Interests: Music, as I said, learning about film, hmmmmmmm.....if I can, I play soccer, but not too much. Not much here. Procrastination! That's something I'm told I'm FABULOUS at!! ;)
Expertise: Area of expertise??? Hmmmmmmm, lets see. Music, is my thing. Movies are my thing. Ask me about a movie, I can probably give you a synopsis, the actors in it and whether or not it's gotten good reviews....and I've probably never even seen it. It's just my thing. I hope to one day work in the film industry, but.....we'll see. ;)

| COLD. COLD. COLD. FREEZING. FRIGID. COOOOLLLDDD. That is what my fingers and toes are screaming, although I have swathed them in socks and comfy blankets. . .It reminds me of when I was a music major and had to play piano in the freezing music building. . . .that was really quite hard. Hard to flit up and down the keys when you can't feel your fingers. I wish I had a piano. I have a keyboard, but it's really not the same. Other than that, things are good. Feeling a little icky. But still good. I have a feeling the cold has a lot to do with the icky feeling. I LOVE living in Lincoln. It's so nice. A nice medium sized city with lots of things to do and close enough to home so I can go back whenever I want! Neil is good. I am good. We've recently succumbed to a new addiction. Well, it's a revival of an old one for Neil, but I'm brand new to it: Buffy the Vampire Slayer series = AWESOME. It makes me sad that I didn't catch them the first time around, although that never would have happened in my mom's house. :) But I'm happy that Neil's Mom has all 7 seasons. :) Hooray! We're on Season 5. . ..it's a wonderful addiction, although it makes me ABHOR (although I have a feeling I would have anyway) the damn "Twilight" movie that is everywhere and the books that girls are raving about. . . .girlie teenage smut is what that is. If you want kick ass NOT Emo-Bad-Hair-I-Played-Cedric-Diggory-in-the-Harry-Potter-Movies-Then-My-Character-Died-So-Now-I've-Moved-On-To-The-Next-Fantasy-Franchise-With-ME-As-The-Main-Character, then watch Buffy. . . .as you can see, I may have some strong feelings about the "Twilight" movie. . . teenage girlie obsessions over book characters tend to do that to me. Now if we're talking about Rhett Butler, then okay. Understandable. But not emo-Twilight-vampires. Anyway, now that I've ranted about vampires and Buffy, not sure what else to say. Tummy is grumbling so I had better get started on dinner. . .don't know what to make yet though. *sigh* Oh well! Better get to it! | | |
| This has been probably the worst week in a long time. . . It may have something to do with the changing weather, but I'm exhausted. Today was a blur and so lacking in productivity it staggered me. I could barely put two words together, much less an article. The evening was alright. Went and helped Neil's Mom take down her art show and then had pizza and beer afterwards. I got home, thinking I was just in time for Pushing Daisies, when in reality, the show comes on at *7* central time. . .not 8 as I thought. So I decided to make cookies. That always makes me feel better. But I ran out of flour. . .and so only put in 2 cups of the 2 1/4 cups I was supposed to put in. The result was a batch of flat, ugly ass chocolate chip cookies that I'm not sure I even want to try. So here I am. I'm not sure if I want to just sit for a while, read, curl up in a ball and cry or paint. .. .painting or reading would at least be productive. . . . | | |
| Herro all! It's me, sucking it up at the journaling biz as usual. Oh well. So what am I doing now? Avoiding work. I'm a horrible person, but needless to say, I WILL work on it after this. . . .I WILL. I need money. :) The writing thing is going well. Slowly but surely. It's not a lot of money and it's taxing on the brain, but I'm really enjoying writing about a variety of different things. It lets me learn about obscure things and write, which I love, and it pays me! Hoorah. The apartment is fairly well set up . . . with the exception of our bedroom and the fact that we haven't even gotten all of our wedding presents in our house yet. . .meep. But at least the living room and kitchen look happy and presentable! Neil's grandpa build us an amazing huge bookshelf!! It's a little shorter than I am and a beautiful thing!! So all the books have a home! Hoo-hah. It's a wonderful little place, with tons of artwork courtesy of my amazing friends and family, books, pictures and a wii. . . heh-heh. My brother-in-law bought us a wii AND dance dance revolution! It's a happy happy home. ;) I would never have bought it for myself and he knew that. Hence, it was his wedding present to us. Tis awesome. Well, better get back to business. . . .I'll try to be better. . . as usual, can't promise anything. :) | | |
| Hello everyone!! I'm attempting to make a comeback to journaling in this wonderful place called xanga. It's been a while, but I have been ridiculously busy. And what have I been doing? - working two part time jobs, one of which sucked my soul out my ears and whose politics made me angry.
- planning a wedding
- HAVING said wedding on June 14th!!
- going on my honeymoon
- moving into our apartment here in Lincoln!
Very busy girl I've been. So right now I've pretty much got the apartment into something very similar to a home. I've still got boxes and boxes of books that have yet to be unpacked (no place to put them!!) so that's a little frustrating, but hopefully that will be cured soon. Neil's grandpa is going to build us a bookshelf, hopefully a monster!! When English majors marry, they don't just marry each other, they marry each other's book collections. . . .the effects are nasty. *sigh* On the other hand, we are ridiculously blessed by wonderful friends and family who have given us tons of great things, including beautiful artwork which is currently gracing the walls. So now I'm just trying to find a job, but also keep my writing going. It's really what I want to do. I've found a place that's allowing me to do that (and even get paid a little) so that's great. Check out one of my articles here: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/856063/angela_eversole_charged_with_trading.html It was a fun piece to write, albeit a little sad. The wedding was wonderful! Thanks to all who came! Megan, I'm sorry you couldn't come because your car is a stupid head!  But you live somewhat close to Lincoln! You should come see me and chill out in my pad! . . ..well. . . .mine and Neil's pad. . ..  So yes, life is good. Hopefully I can get back into the habit of writing this more often. I'll keep you all updated on the writing. . . .hopefully all goes well. | | |
| Am at last updating. - Things are a little better. Working two part time jobs. Not really quite sure how I feel about the flower shop just yet. There's a lot of politics that I'm trying to either avoid or keep from screaming in frustration at. It's just very different, I guess. That and I'm working a LOT and I don't know how I feel about that either. I like that I've got a steady paycheck and can pay my bills, but that doesn't leave much time for anything creative. . . .which is steadily becoming draining. Gonna have to work on that.
- Wedding plans are coming along, although I really need to step it up a bit. Damn guest list.
In short, it's been a really shitty semester and I'm not even in school. It just sucks to see Neil trying to balance everything. He's overloaded and attempted to work a restaurant job and a job on campus AND do theater AND keep up with his grades. He's done really well, but it's been taking a toll on him and us. It's just really hard to see each other, but that'll change with this second semester. His schedule isn't nearly as bad, so I'll actually get to see him for longer than an hour every couple days. Yay. Quiet, a little lonely, depressed, and inspired. That's pretty much me in a nutshell at this point | | |
