I haven't really been around here much. How are you guys? I've miss you 
What's been happening? Give me a shout, let me know. It'll be nice to talk with you all again.
Also, should mention a massive countdown to the release of Kaizers Orchestra's new single for their upcoming album. There's 12 days left, and for each day down I post a photo on my Lj and Facebook (and when I remember, my Twitter too).
Not only that, but I recently updated "Caravan", if any of you started reading that and patiently waited for another chapter. It's at my Lj.
Anyway, can't wait to hear from you!

Fall/Winter Registration- Go Me!
4 min read
Course selection. What a bizarre process. In my mom's day it was over the phone, in my course counsellors time she lined up in a gym for hours to get to a table to tell them what she wanted; for us, it's online. Any better? It depends on how you look at, really.
My college doesn't really have it's shit together. No one actually knows what's going on, and the woman who helps us learn how to use the programs online is basically teaching herself along the way. Helpful, right? So this is basically the blind leading the blind here. Do I know what I'm doing, even still, after having things explained to me at least three times? Nope. Not a clue. And that's okay, because no one else has either. It's all good.
Anyway, 10:30 tomorrow (technically today since it's 1:50 in the morning here) I will be fumbling CRN numbers into boxes and hoping to holy hell that they've room for me in my selected courses. If not, I'm screwed. There is no way I would survive waitlisting. Not at all.
Wish me luck, my friends. I am going to need it.
Oh, and here's the courses I'll be registering for, if you're interested. (Yes, I'm well aware our school system is fucked and hardly any of these courses have anything to do with what I want to do, but here we have a basic first year because apparently we're not "well-rounded" enough yet after 12 years of doing the same courses for FREE in public school. Yes, that's right, my darling Euro friends, our education isn't paid for and by the time we're out of post-secondary we can hardly pay for bread let alone die without debt. Huzzah for Canada. Holy mother of matt, I'm bitter. Ignore me...)

Oh yes, and since you ask, I HAVE done Intro Psych TWICE in High School, thanks for noticing. But, alas, as my Psych teacher at my HS here in Vernon was lazy and wouldn't simply allow me to attend the regular Psych class and give me more advanced assignments, and because the school didn't want to lose money over me (they get money from the gov't per student registered in a course, which they gladly use on new blackberries for the staff and properly ignore our need for new textbooks and desks. How lovely!) and sabotaged my chances of taking AP at another local HS, I was unable to bypass college level Intro Psych. THANKS SO MUCH, CANADIAN SCHOOL SYSTEM! And oh, can't forget those fantastic teachers that get so stuck in their ways, using all the lovely worksheets and assignments from the last 20 years, that they just don't give a shot about the kids, because hey, they don't want to go out of their way to make a difference in some poor sod's life. Cheers.
Alright. Rant done. If you sat through that... wow, you're brave. If you comment back, even more so! I am sorry though, I just can't help that I'm bitter! My mom is a teacher- one involved in alternative education who's in it for the kids, not just an easy ride- and she raised me to hate the system... not that I blame her. I'm glad I'm less ignorant about the goings on of our "educational professionals" than the next guy. However, it HAS made it hard for me to put up with bullshit. Let's just say I've had a rocky 12 years of public school...
Anyway, please please PLEASE wish me luck. Not just with course registration, but the whole lot of it. I set my self-expectations too high (I'm actually going to see a Psychologist about that, haha) and it MAY just be my downfall... so every bit of support from all you lovely people count just that much more!
Tara, Darlings.

Hey

I've been gone. Yup. For a while now. Not really here, or there... or anywhere.
So anyway, been meaning to say that more Kaizerslash has made it's way onto my livejournal. And this time it's dirty. No, I mean it. It's REALLY dirty. BDSM galore. Go check it out if you're interested.
On top of things, I've also posted an update on life in general. Also at my journal.
Ciao for now.

Fucking Hell (A Muse Rant)
1 min read
Listening to the new Muse single at this very moment. And........ I AM SO DISAPPOINTED. I hate to say it, because Matt is my god, and Muse is, well... my muse, but holy mother fucking shit Matt you cannot borrow that heavily on fucking Queen and get away with it!! That's all I heard through the whole fucking song; not Muse, but Queen. Did that happen for anybody else? Was I the only one? Am I going to be an outcast for saying this? AGH, I'm just SO bloody upset right now it's not even funny.
Will be waiting to see if the new album actually makes up for this pure lack of originality.
Muse, I love you boys, but seriously, get a grip. I'm not expecting you to recreate old material, no matter how brilliant it was, but, for your own good, take a step back and at least see that what you're doing now is so far off from your own work it's fucking unbelievable.
Cheers.
(Apologies for the crude language).
