pynk_spyder and I have this fun (well, I call it "fun") tradition of having tv-watching parties.  It's mostly for Heroes and Supernatural, but we'll sometimes extend it when a show deserves theme food (e.g., Torchwood).

We've invented two different types of punch:  Petrelli Punch and Winchester Punch.  They both involve adding a can of Juicy Juice (not frozen) concentrate to a bottle of pop (I'm from Nebraska, we say "pop" instead of "soda") and cutting up fruit.  Petrelli Punch uses Sprite Zero, and Winchester Punch uses Diet Squirt.  Both are delicious, but I secretly like Winchester Punch more - pynk_spyder
made a wise comment about how Petrelli Punch is fruitier and sweeter (and more likely to make you hyper), while Winchester Punch was more intense and the more delicious of the two.

We've also come up with other finger foods - it's kind of like having a Super Bowl party, but the food gets fun names.

So, what's on the menu for tonight?  (Apparently planning my menu is the only way to keep from freaking out about tonight's show.)

• Winchester Punch
• ?

I'm thinking about making some "Don't Die Dean!Cheese Dip," but I'm not sure what else...

I shall spend the rest of the day contemplating my menu.  And writing cover letters.  And Thank You notes.

*Sigh*  PMBR classes start on Monday.

I graduated from law school on Saturday!  Now, this would be incredibly exciting and awesome if it didn't mean that I have to now turn around start studying FOR REAL now.  In addition to my own crazy study schedule, I'm taking the PMBR (via those overcharging fools at Kaplan) and BarBri - both of which are courses to help you study for the bar exam (and together they cost about as much as a semester of tuition) as if three years of law school weren't enough (apparently it isn't).

Today was also my last day of work.  I quit to spend my summer studying.  It's frightening, actually, to be unemployed and have no idea (well, very little idea) of where I'll end up.

Now that I'm done with school (except for that whole bar exam part), I can finally concentrate on getting through the stacks of comic books waiting for me, not to mention all the worrying about Dean Winchester that I can cram into the next few days!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

I am scheduled to graduate in less than two weeks.  This is pretty awesome for a variety of reasons, especially when you consider that as of RIGHT NOW, there are no plans to pursue another degree.  Hooray for finally putting an end to the whole racking-up-debt-while-pursuing-a-graduate-degree thing!

There appears to be a direct correlation between how busy I am with school and how much I post (and not in the responsible law student way you might think).  Take now, for instance:  I have hundreds of pages to write by the end of April, and what do I do?  I post on LJ.

It's funny because I am so awful at updating this journal, it's a wonder that I have a paid account at all. 

Once upon a time, way back in the year 2007, my sister and I attended the Supernatural convention on a chilly November weekend in Chicago.  It was a lovely weekend, full of adventure and celebrity sightings.  Mark Lutz provided the LULZ, Jensen and Jared provided the SQUEE, and a few rude Jensen-fangirls provided the annoyance.

You know, I'd be a much better LJ-er if I had a new layout and icons.

*pokes*

What?  You don't make ask your talented siblings with a copy of Photoshop aforementioned talent to do all the work make pretty images for you?

This brutal honesty meme going around right now.  I didn't post my name on it, so I'm not gonna link it.  (Surely you've seen it by now.) 

Sadly, I don't post enough in LJ for anyone to gain an actual opinion of me other than: "You suck because you never comment on my LJ."  So, I wonder, what would happen if I go through my FList and comment on everyone's entries for the past month?

Hmmm...

See, the problem is that all of my hilarious commentary is *wasted* in RL on my sister.  (Ask her, I'm amusing.)

( I'm f**king Matt Damon... )

Where's that Ben kissing Jimmy icon?

I know you're dying to see my interests in picture format. You type in your LJ username and a nifty collage shows up made up of your interests.

I was surprised to see a picture of Will Bolt actually show up. Will Bolt was my favorite Husker baseball player back in the day -- a pretty high honor, but it's not like he's playing pro ball these days. Trust me, he was awesome way back when. (As an added bonus, his name is practically a sentence.

I forgot that I listed "casinos" as an interest. Heh.

... I still have one more class to go.  Why did I think taking this many classes in one day was a good idea?

In today's LEGAL PROFESSION (ooh, exciting), we were asked to list things like: our hometown, where do we want to practice law, and what superpower we wanted to have a why.

I was torn on the last one.  The easy answer is the ability to fly, but I figured that would be the popular choice.  Then I thought about super strength (you know, my affinity for Superman and Wonder Woman), but I wanted to be a little more creative.  So I asked myself who the most awesome superhero was...

It's 2008, and I need a job.  I don't think I can put off finding one by getting another degree this time.  For some reason I seem to think that I need to have a job lined up before I graduate.  In fact, I'm already behind.  I should have sent out copies of my resume and started interviewing already.

Why is it that I can't find a single job on the Career Services website that interests me?  I realize that this is part of the problem with me not finding a job, but I really don't want to hate my career.  I don't want to hate going into work every day.  I don't want to feel like I wasted 3 years of my life in law school.

The biggest problem is that I already found my dream job.  I had my dream job this summer.  It was perfect and amazing and fulfilling and exciting and every other wonderful thing you can name.  Unfortunately, they aren't hiring and won't be hiring until someone retires.  They are a non-profit firm and can't quite afford to hire any new lawyers -- I guess that's one drawback (I'll never be rich).

Damn real life stuff.

My seminar paper is due today.  I should be editing.  Instead?  Here I am updating my journal.



Let's counterbalance that with something intelligent and impressive.

Hmmm....

This is difficult.  Why did my brain decide to shut down when I clearly need it to finish my paper?  (I blame my Evidence final --hey, Moberly?  That was NOT COOL.)

"Old" news, but Amazon.com paid almost $4M USD for JK Rowling's "The Tales of Beedle the Bard."  That's pretty cool.  You know what would be even cooler?  If my paper would magically write itself.

Yep.

I just noticed that I haven't posted an entry in weeks!  Weeks!  AND, that last entry was only a sentence long.  Heh.

I actually could do a Creation Con "report" complete with pictures and funny stories about Mark Lutz and the "moment" I shared with Jensen during the photo op.  I could even throw in my two cents about all the drama that went down and how the fanboys were totally pissed about the lack of "Smallville" merchandise at this alleged Smallville Con.

Yeah.. that's all going to have to wait until December 19 (when I finish my last final).  Right now I'm taking a break from working on Family Law - my first final.  Since it's 5 a.m., I should probably go to sleep soon.

I vaguely remember making a statement back in April about how I didn't want to ever pull an all-nighter again.  My finals start in a week and a half, so I actually have no excuse for being awake right now... other than to complain.



Adios Internet...until my finals are finished.

It's 5:30 a.m. 

Jensen and Jared!  On stage!  Together!  Jensen wore a Sam Winchester shirt!    

Thirteen minutes until Supernatural Season 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someday I'll take advantage of LJ and to its full potential.

Today is not that day.

Hooray for the Colorado Rockies!

For the record, I totally believe that I somehow contributed to their post-season berth.  I mean, the NEVER lost a game this summer that I attended.  Hee.

Classes started today.  I KNOW!  I can't believe that my summer has ended already and I'm starting my very last year of school.  Ever.

If I decide to go get my PhD, throw something at me.  I'm serious (nothing hard...maybe a pillow or some sort of Nerf ball).

I also started my new job today.  Woohoo? It seems cool so far (though I haven't actually started any projects yet), and everyone is pretty chill.  (See?  That's a new Boulder thing that I apparently do now.  I say "chill" as an adjective.)

I don't have Internet access at home yet, so I can't be too distracted by the Internet.   I actually haven't been online for anything other than my email in over a week.

GASP!

(I am shocked as well.)

Of all the things I could be doing right now (e.g., packing), I decided to post an entry.  I'm sure that by the time I finish this, I'll feel all the more fulfilled and accomplished.

I have a sudden desire to start writing fiction again.  It's been itching lately, and I honestly haven't felt very creative for the past few years - mostly due to the whole "law school" thing.


Thinking about it, I've decided that my second dream job, aside from voicing cartoon characters, is going to be creating and writing a sketch comedy series with my (hilarious) siblings.  It'll be like "In Living Color" only it'll actually be more like "Robot Chicken" in the randomness.  My family?  Hilarious.  But, we also tend to have a really quirky sense of humor -- although, the great thing is that we all have different types of humor.  Some of us are more into physical comedy, some of us do funny voices, and some of us are simply random.

I think I'm on to something...
