My Obsession List

Sorry I have to do this to you, but I just have to. It seems to be a very ‘get-to-know-you’ kinda thing. (Edited to say — Wow, they all kinda look alike! Dark, powerful, enigmatic, trouble-makers? Don’t know about that pasta, though. Off to the psych ward.)

1. Alan RickmanAlan Rickman — Is this just weird? I see him on tv or in pictures and I just want to sob. I don’t know why! I don’t think it matters that he’s, what, 62 now and 44 years older than me? Could be 98 and a half for all I care, I just love ‘im. I’ve seen all his movies.
2. Captain Jack Sparrow — The slurred mumblings, the drunken swagger, who couldn’t fall for this guy. I like Depp, but I LOVE Sparrow. Plus, he has a cool hat. ;)
3. Erik — OK, Christine doesn’t know how good she has it. I don’t know what her problem is, but I want to scratch her eyes out. I’d pick Erik over that idiot Raoul any day of the week and twice on Fridays.
4. Severus Snape — I know I already have Alan Rickman, but Snape needs his own place. I’m not talking about Rickman Snape, I love canon Snape. The thin, powerful, genius, witty, sarcastic, torn between light and dark, desperate, restrained Snape. I’d so jump him.
5. Jareth aka Goblin King — Now I don’t know WHAT’S wrong with me. David Bowie generally creeps me out, but I can’t stop starring at the Goblin King. Sure he’s a drag queen’s dream come true, but I want him.
6. Italian food — Why not? It’s yummy

7. SalemMy kitten Salem — He’s just a cutie.

Frustration and Biodiesel and Physics, oh my!

BiodieselWell, I still haven’t heard from my lab partner yet! We spent 2 months on alternative fuel projects in physics and my group got biodiesel. We all made the biodiesel, but I went ahead and wrote the report and made the powerpoint because of language difficulties. One of my friends is Burmese and the other is Indian, both are extremely intelligent but there is just a little difficulty in complex grammar and comprehension due to the language barrier. So everything’s ready for Wednesday’s presentation, and we run out of time for ours. Now this is the last day of class, and I was not going to be at school Thursday or Friday since I don’t need to take finals. We then decided that I would create notes for my friends so they could do the presentation without me. I emailed the paper, presentation and notes to her that night but never got a response. The next day after they’d be out of school I emailed her again asking how it went. I haven’t had a response back yet and I don’t even know if she got the original files. I’m freaking out right now because it’s worth a huge grade and I can’t lose my A. I’m going to go sit in the corner and bang my head against the wall until dreaded Monday comes . . .
