The Wildcat's Den

SQUEE!!  I'm going hoooooome tonight!!  I'm down to about five hours before I get off work and make the trek west.  And I've finished the project work had for me this week, so I'm just chillin' until 3:00 rolls around (wish it would roll faster).

I'm excited because I get to detach myself from real life for a while and be a goofy kid.  There's no cell phones reception at home (yes, we're that far off the map) and I typically limit my internet lurking when I'm with the fam (unless my brother's found something funny to gawk at).  Plus, my cousins will be out and it's Labor Day and I get to run around in my jammies if I want to and ... *relaxing sigh*  Sometimes, you just need to retreat into a bubble and not worry about real life (and I'll actually be able to do it - I got paid today and my bills are paid, so I really don't have to worry about much).

Well, I'm not going straight home - I'm going to stop over in Delta for my brother's football game.  I'm hoping they do better than Utah did against Oregon State last night.  After I bragged them up and stuck up for them, this is what they do to me?!!  They lose their starting running back AND their quarterback to injury AND get pummeled!  This does not bode well for the rest of the season - gah! What, are we three and out already?!  This is NOT supposed to happen before you've barely even scored.  Oh well, if you're going to be a fan, you'd better stick with 'em through the craptastic (but I don't have to like it... ugh,  I hope I don't run into that Zaney Zoobie that my roommates like before I leave D:<)

Oh yeah, Utah State played UNLV last night.  They lost (but only by a touchdown).  In other news, sun rises in the east, cat gets stuck in tree and Americans are fat.

Anywho, Delta was pretty good last year, they still have some of the guys back and they're playing Grantsville, who are nearly as catty as their cheerleaders (Yes, guys can be catty - and it's even infested our football teams.  I know this because I attended Grantsville High School at one point in my life.  They're a testament to the statement, "the more things change, the more they stay the same."  Good grief).  It wouldn't be a problem for them if they'd just leave their problems off the field, but EVERYBODY needs to be a big hero (not everyone can be a hero.  That's why they're called heroes).  Anyway, I'm predicting Delta to win, just because the play more as a team than anything.

Sports woes aside, Wesa goin' hooooome!! This will be a good weekend.

I haven't posted in a week?!!  I'm terrible...

Went home over the weekend.  While it was nice to not have to do anything, the five hour drive kicked me in the butt.  Any relaxing I did at home was immediately canceled out by the stress of having to drive home Easter Sunday evening with all the weekend warriors antsy to get home for... work on Monday.  Weird people.

I'm also taking on double dragons this week.  My story for my Senior Capstone class is being workshopped today and it is looooooong.  This is the second time this story has been workshopped.  The first draft was 8 pages long.  After getting feedback from my class to add scenes and taking on some serious revision, it is now... 16 pages!  In my defense, I gave them fair warning.  Give me a chance to add anything to a story and I will talk your ear off.  I'm happy with some parts of it, but not so much with others.  Oh well, we'll see what happens tonight.

The other dragon is that I have a completely different story due in my Fiction Writing class tomorrow.  I've just been working on the ending of it right now.  This one won't actually be workshopped tomorrow, but I have to give it out tomorrow so people have a chance to read it for the workshop next week.  I'm not as concerned about this story as I was about my first one for this class.  I'm actually looking forward to this one being workshopped next week, mostly because it has a political jab as a minor plot point -- that was the most fun to write, actually.  It'll never get published in any literary magazine because it pokes fun at the HIGH AND MIGHTY Algore and his doctrine of global warming -- all I'm saying is that we'd better be careful or aliens are going to take our fetish for creating problems where there are none and kill us all because of it.

Anyway, "24" is tonight!  Woot and stuff.  Jack will pull that bullet out with his teeth, just you watch (and Doyle's still a butthole).

Love from,
