I am sOOO tired.
Not just tired, but
dead tired.
Got home last night from a friend's halloween party at 2:30am - was asleep by around 3:30am, and got up at 8:00am to go to class!!
That was, of course, after a long internal debate on whether or not I should just sleep in.
It was a great fun, saw lots of friends that I don't get to see as much anymore because we're not all living within twenty feet of each other in residence.
Hopefully I'll get some pictures up here, maybe. I usually use facebook for friends pictures, I already have about 30 albums on there -- haha
It's surprising they haven't cut me off just yet.
I'm in the library right now...
I should probably go and get some work done!!!!

tired - Music:tapping keyboards, whispers
So, it's Halloweeeeeeeeennn...
But I don't have any spooky pictures -- yet.
Well, the one above was cropped from a picture of me sticking my tongue out at the camera. I guess you can say it looks "devilish".
Muahahaha
Naturally, my housemates and I are all going out dressed up, not to the local bar - just a friend's!!
So far, we have a Mexican, a baby (me!!), a fairy of some sort, and a Christmas present (complete with red and green wrapping paper, bows, and a card!). haha
It should be interesting, we're an eclectic bunch, let me tell ya!
That's all for now!!
Cheers!!
PS. If you like the Nightmare Before Xmas, Marilyn Manson's "This is Halloween" is awesommmmmeeeeee!!!! It's right up his alley! haha

Like, today, I came home after my cell bio midterm (which wasn't killer, thankfully), and was caught off guard by a documentary on TLC titled "The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off".
Yes, that's right.
It documented the last few months of Jonny Kennedy's life - a boy, now a 36 year old man - who was born with a rare, autosomal recessive genetic disorder that disrupted his skin's binding to deeper tissues. Jonny described it as his skin being velcro with no hooks. He suffered debilitating pain on a day to day basis, not to mention extreme blistering, scarring, and large parts of his body being completely devoid of any skin whatsoever and open to infection.
Any slight abraision - even a hug from a loved one -- would cause his skin to blister and fall off.
Also, because of his condition, Jonny never reached puberty.
His hands and feet had been rendered useless nubs: after years of skin falling off and regrowing, the skin on his fingers and toes had fused these digits together.
Not to mention the extreme pain.
It was really hard watching Jonny cry, tears coming down his face, as his mother ritualistically changed his bandages, as she had done so every week for his entire life. The bandages pulled at his flesh, causing intense, searing pain. He had only spent one day of his life without any bandages, and ever day, with excruciating pain.
And because of all this, you'd think that he would be miserable.
No, he had come to terms with his condition long ago, and was quite humorous and witty. Despite now being diagnosed with a rare skin cancer, given six months to live, and deciding to forego treatment.
One of his final achievments he wanted to accomplish before his death was to visit with the prime minister (and his wife) and talk to them about his organization, DEBRA, which raises money for research and care of sufferers.
He held on just long enough to do so, and died on the train ride back to his hometown.
I feel ashamed for even daring to complain about my menstrual cramps.

- Mood:
sympathetic - Music:my printer printing pages and pages of notes...
Cell bio...oh cell bio, how you bore me.
I just spent over 6 1/2 hours at the library of my university rewriting my notes. Well, I was supposed to be "summarizing" them, but I don't know if you can still call it that when I've hand re-written 25 pages worth, on both sides. And I'm not even done yet!!! hahaha
My hand is so sore.
haha I hope it doesn't cramp up tomorrow during the real thing.
Wouldn't that be something:
"Uhhh ... excuse me mr. invigilator -- my hand is cramped...I can't continue", and he looks down at your hand, which is contorted in a rather un-earthly shape. He winces.
"Someone call an ambulance!!"
Oh yes, I definitely see it now.

And guess how much studying I've done??
Well, nearly nothing.
But I HAVE to do lots tomorrow...
so we'll see if I pass or not.
Cell bio may be interesting in it's conception, but learning it in class for 1 1/2 hours on a Tuesday or Thursday morning at 8:30 sucks. A lot.
Do you love your gun / yeah / your god / yeah / your government? / Fuck yeah
