*peers slowly around the corner into the recently-unused LJ*
Pardoning my lack of involvement in this end of the world (I have an excuse, honestly! [Actually, I have several...]) I do have something interesting!
I'm doing a presentation in my Sociolinguistics course at University about swearing - who, when and how, mostly. If you feel so inclined, please head on over to my survey to fill it out. It's probably about ten minutes of your time, and it goes to the good cause of getting me an awesome grade on this assignment!
(It also means I get to use the words 'cunt' and 'fuck' in front of a lecture hall of about a hundred and twenty firsties. 8D)
As for my excuses... well, clearly, I've started over at a proper University, finally. I'm majoring in Linguistics, which is why I'm taking this first level Socioling assignment so seriously, and I'm minoring in Philosophy. (Maybe, sort of.) I also spent the whole ruddy summer in England, and so was away from my own computer for, well, ever. I think it's probably been about a year since I updated my RATS page, and probably about half a year previous to that that I posted anything personal or fandom related.
So... yes! Please give this a look, and if you're into it, fill it out, and pass it along! Any responses help!
(Also, briefly, I've been doing some gameplay videos for Katamari, Black Ops and AssCreedBro, with a partner over on Sloth&Vomit on Youtube. Check that out, if you're into video games!)

If you read this (even if we're not LJ buddies), please post a comment with a completely fictional memory of you and me. It can be anything you want, but it has to be fake!
When you're finished, post this little paragraph in your LJ and see what your friends come up with.
I've been doing a lot of RATs. And by a lot, I mean that my entire life now revolves around those prompts. I am putting links here for personal future reference. I hope I get these in order... >3>

These being epic dreams that I remember for days.
This time, it was like a cross between Alice In Wonderland, and some sort of school for Witches or something. And I was taking Shannon to this school because I thought it would be good for her, but we had to go through a puddle in order to get there, or something...
Anyway, once we got there, I ended up having already been to this school, so all the teachers just sort of let me do what I wanted, and then it gets a bit confused... And then I was teaching a class, maybe?
But then, something really bad starts happening, and for some reason, I'm the only one trying to stop it, and I have to go to this big old house with a graveyard and everything, with this dog (which might have been mine from the beginning?) and I have to... do something. But I wanted to make sure that Shannon and the other students were okay, so I pushed them through the puddle, and then took care of whatever the bad thing was, and then go back through the puddle, and I have all these girls around, so I think I started my own school for Witches?
Something like that.

I sometimes doubt my dweebitude.
I don't remember the last time I read a non-fiction book for fun.
I own sixty-two separate and individual hats.
And so ends my month of Chaos.
I'm home now, and working on finding the best pictures of my trip.
Expect updates soon.

And now continues my month of chaos.
I'm home from Georgia, and worn out from my relatives.
And I now have five days in which to get ready for my trip to San Diego with Sam.
Much as I am looking forward to that half of the month? I am so tired and worn out from my relatives that I just wanna curl up in a ball and not think from now 'til then.
Also? I really fucking need some more money. D:
