Buns N. Burn 'er

Of course I hate life, I'm a graduate student.

About Me

Like snarky one-liner states, I'm a graduate student. Why is that the first thing that I decided to write about? Because it is essentially the defining factor in my life at the moment. It controls where I live, my income, the amount of pain and torture I endure, and it heavily influences my relationships with others. Not to mention of course the small fact that I actually do supposedly love what I do. And what is that you ask? Well, it's Chemistry... But before you get all excited, let me just preface any further discussion with the fact that I know nothing of chemistry, yet another fact that graduate school is teaching me. If I can come out of this experience having learned one small fraction of the amount of knowledge that is out there, then this will have been a success. However, I am not even close to that goal as of yet.I am not a genius, I am not a saint. I am just a woman trying to find myself in academia and hoping that it is the place for me despite the fact that I seem to be surrounded by geniuses and saints.If you really want to know about my boring life, check out my livejournal at http://www.livejournal.com/users/vndictivesprite..

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet people with common interests. So, if you're not a scientist, graduate student, in the goth/industrial scene (I hate calling it that), then most likely I'm not interested. Please do not send me a random friends request. If I get a friends request and go to your page and can't figure out why you're adding me in about 30 seconds (i.e. we have mutual friends, or I met you at the bar) then I'm going to deny your request. If you'd like to add me because you think my profile is interesting or something, then just send me a message saying so and I'll probably add you, I'm not a total bitch.ATTENTION BANDS AND DJ'S!! Unless I know you, or actually listen to your music, I WILL NOT ADD YOU. I'm not on myspace to collect friends and I don't devote my time to looking up fresh new music anymore.

Movies:

Logan's Run, Fight Club, The Last Unicorn, Dangerous Beauty, Constantine, Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, Return of the King, The Convent, Children of the Living Dead, 28 Days Later, Dawn of the Dead, The Royal Tennenbaums, Secretary, House of 1000 Corpses, and so much more that I can't think of right now.

Television:

Scrubs, Sex and the City, Sealab 2021, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Invader Zim, Law and Order (all of them), almost anything on the Discovery Channel

Books:

I'll read anything that doesn't suck and bore me to death. I'm not pretentious about literature either, I love to read stupid but wonderfully entertaining scifi/fantasy books when I have the time. Mostly though I just read textbooks.

Heroes:

My mother, if for not other reason other than the fact that she did what I am doing now back in the 60's, at Harvard while raising a toddler by herself. But there are other reasons. However, given my little bio paragraph I figured I'd just cite this one here.

Doing what's right

I don't know about other people, but I have always found that it is an uphill battle to do what is right for me.  When the situation involves other people it's hardly ever a problem, but when it ...

A brief update

So I haven't blogged on myspace in awhile.  I guess I forget that a lot of people that I know don't have a livejournal, not that I blog about anything interesting these days.  Hell, I don'...

Homesick

I actually think I'm homesick.  How funny, since I haven't been homesick in probably about 18 - 20 years.  I love spending time with my mother, I truly do, but this vacation hasn't been all ...

Super Geekiness

So you know you're hanging out with a bunch of nerds when most of you are intoxicated, if not drunk, at South City Diner on South Grand at 1am on a Sunday morning and you're arguing loudly about how p...

Myspace is a dirty gutter whore

Y'know, I was happy with my livejournal.  I've had the damned thing for 6 years and I'd always said that it took up enough of my time and that's why I didn't want a myspace.  Then I just dec...

WTF Myspace

So I've had my myspace for awhile and needless to say activity has been fairly limited.  Upon returning from my vacation in SoCal I added a bunch of my friends out there and exchanged messages wi...
