I'm a lil tipsy right now...not to the point of intoxication but pleasantly fuzzy. I'm watching the second season of True Blood and drooling over Eric Northman. Tomorrow I have to finish my ethics papers. (I worked on personality theory today.)
I found out I can graduate a whole year early if I take 3 courses at a time instead of 2. Right now I'm not struggling with 2, but I am severely stressing. I'm thinking I'll try it out next semester and see what I think...ack...seems like I never stop thinking.

Toying with ideas...
I'm debating an idea for a new tattoo. I really want a quote/bookish one (preferably referencing a work by Neil Gaiman -- He is the author that really made me LOVE books). I want it in a place that's easily covered but can also be showed off on occasion without me having to be scantily clothed. I'm debating between this or a prayer bead anklet for my next one (to symbolize the importance of spirituality in my life)....hmmm...
Here's a picture of a Neil Gaiman image from Coraline that speaks to me. I like the keyhole aspect and I like the quote....but Coraline isn't my favorite of his works. I really like his book Neverwhere and his comic series Sandman, and am debating putting a different quote in the same general spot in the keyhole.
The following are some quotes I like from various Neil Gaiman works...not all would fit in the keyhole, but I haven't really finished working it out or where I'd put it:
"Face your life
Its pain, its pleasure
Leave no path untaken"
"Beware of Doors." (this is one that I'm thinking of replacing in the keyhole from Neverwhere)
"He had gone beyond the world of metaphor & simile into the place of things that are, and it was changing him."
"He had noticed that events were cowards: they didn't occur singly, but instead they would run in packs and leap out at him all at once.”
“But he did not understand the price. Mortals never do. They only see the prize. Their hearts desire, their dream....But the price of getting what you want is getting what you once wanted.”
“We all not only could know everything. We do. We just tell ourselves we don't to make it all bearable.”
"Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and adventures are the shadow truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes and forgotten”
“This is a work of fiction. All the characters in it, human and otherwise, are imaginary, excepting only certain of the fairy folk, whom it might be unwise to offend by casting doubts on their existence. Or lack thereof.”
“It was a dark and stormy nightmare”
“I lost some time once. It's always in the last place you look for it.”
“Charitably...I think...Sometimes perhaps one must change or die. And in the end, there were perhaps limits to how much he could let himself change.”

Apocalyptica
I love this song:) & this video! ...I love Escaflowne!!! & this is part of my soundtrack playlist:D
Mod Cloth :D
My Wish List!
I love this site...I think I'm going to order a coat for when I go to Chicago in the winter...and a few accessories too!:D
I still need to book a hotel room and a flight...as well as come up with a couple of things me and Brandon can do once my classes are done for the day. I want to enjoy myself a lil bit! I also need to buy some more work pants pretty soon. My one's I have now are wearing out a bit (I need to sew up the hem of one before it comes completely undone!

Feeling a bit better...
After going to the funeral, I feel both better and worse at the same time...if that makes any sense at all. The School counselor that was supposed to email me their interview today fell through. They totally said they'd do it, and well didn't. I went on Just ask .com and found a counselor on there to interview last minute. Hopefully, it will work:P I can only do so much.
Brandon is still offshore. I miss my snuggle bunny:P **has a sappy moment** ...I wanna cuddle...and Dexter the cat makes my nose itch when he tries to jump in my face throughout the night (if I let him snuggle in bed):P:P:P
---
2 more projects down and one step closer to a Masters!!! :D My aunt tried quizzing me on if I'd consider going back to teaching right now...uh ... no! If I did that I would pretty much be insuring I wouldn't graduate until 2014 or 2015 with how few classes I'd be able to take. I'm thinking of taking 1 class at a time after that and continuing for the PsyD. The only thing is I want to make sure the PsyD would qualify me as a psychologist in Louisiana or if I'd have to get that degree from a different school. Oh well, I'll worry about that later.
Going to bed now, I'll try to wake up in time for meditation tomorrow.

Butterfly -- Amanda
bright little wings
vibrant
green
blue
gold
open and close
open --
-- and close
dance
air treads its way
over
under
around
your wings
open and close
open --
-- and close
alight on a flower
hues of red
pink
green
the sweet smell
last flight
-- and close
---
Today a friend of mine passed away...she was only in her early twenties. One thing I will always remember about her, was the way she would randomly cut/dye her hair. She was always trying out anime like hair styles and edgy looks. She was always happy when I saw her. And, always cared most for those she loved & protected them fervently.
Here is the Link to Her Obit.
