Florence + The Machine - Shake It Out |
] |
If I grade one more paper citing wikipedia as its main source, I'm gonna get all sorts of cranky. If you're gonna get all of your information from wikipedia, could you at least make the effort to cite where they received their information from instead. I beg of you. Make it seem like you care.
In other news, to whomever broke into my office, please remember that teachers procrastinate just as much as students do and just because I set a date for an exam doesn't mean I've written it and left the answers in my desk.
...yeah, I really do need to get a life outside of that damn high school.

Here's the thing, though: If one more person asks me what brought me to Harmony, I'm gonna have a teensy-weensy panic attack.

| The Space Between the Old Journal and New... |
[28 Jan 2012|10:08pm] |
This is the line, the line I give you; the line between old, old Harmony and new. Bear with me I beg, bear with me for now. The time was once then, when we all knew how.
OOC: Here is my line between old journal and new. I'm leaving it be for reminiscence sake.

My head hurts. I feel like my brain's been wrung out, repeatedly, and then left on a clothes line to dry. Is that just me?
Also, my fingers won't stop tingling. This is going to be an interesting summer.

Florence and the Machine - Dog Days are Over |
] |
Finals are this week. It's kind of weird how quickly this year went shooting by. It was all here and then gone in a blink. I'm not even stressing out over my test...okay, that's all lie-like because if you know me you know that every time some large test comes up I get on the network at some random time in the middle of the night and post a rambling message to attempt to calm myself down before a attempt to sleep.
What I know now if I don't even have time to breathe. This, this thing that I'm doing right now, this writing thing, I don't have time to do this. I should be studying and if I'm not studying I should be sleeping. I have no time or space to do anything other than those two things. And yet, here I am, all a'ramble at 3 o'clock in the morning.
I guess it could be worse. I could be sitting in a ball in the corner eating my own hair and waxing poetic about the days when the ABCs were the most difficult thing on a test...but I don't remember those days and I've never been so goodly at waxing poetic. Well, in English. For some reason I come up with some really nice couplets in Latin.
Anyway, when this is over I want to go Christmas shopping. I think I'm delirious because this sounds like a lot of fun, but I'll take it for now.
Someone please tell me to stop drinking multiple cups of coffee at 3 am. I hear it's bad for you and...stuff.

Hey guys, I am so sorry I went away like that. I kind of disappeared for the weekend and left a bunch of journal stuff hanging. I just kind of went home to see a boy, my best friend, and my mom. But, then my best friend's grandfather died and I ended up staying longer than I intended. Aaaaaanyway, sorry for not putting up a hiatus! But, I really do think I'm back and will be responding to the music meme in the morning when I'm coherent in addition to various journal things. ♥ ♥

So, I promised Heather that I would do this. Just to even things out, y'know, so she realizes she was not that bad in high school. Trust me, I would know. So, get yourselves ready for Willow pre-college:
( Er...yeah )
Er, life's still the same...except, okay, I'm with Heather. Anybody else have a very weird Halloween? Just us? We're crazy. Okay, not so newish. I can deal with that.
I'm gonna go away now, bury my face in the sand, and wonder why and went of found pictures of my high school years. If you ever made fun of me in high school, feel free not to mention it and I won't hold it against you. Promise.

David Karsten Daniels - That Knot Unties? |
] |
Woah, so I just looked at the backdated stuff of this thing. I haven't posted an update here since July. I figured it was about time...not that much has been going on. I'm taking 18 hours on top of teaching at the high school this semester. Um...Oh! I found out I'm gonna graduate early. I should be finished with my bachelors in December thanks to the amount I killed myself over the summer.
I saw that we have some new people on the Network and in town. Welcome to Harmony! I don't know how you like it just yet. It's...I haven't been on here a ton, but I've been reading the paper and it really is all kinds of a crazy time. But, Harmony really is a nice place. Er...it has been for most of my life.
Yeah, this is some randomness and not so interesting babbling. I apologize. Although, to be fair, me, kinda known for the babbling. You can ask almost anyone that's been around for a bit. Willow, a babble-y lady.

[18 Jul 2010|06:27am] |
So, I broke a yellow crayon today and got this insane sense of deja vu. Like, hello misses, you've done this before. I just can't remember when. I hated playing with the crayons when I was in preschool. I was always convinced I was gonna...break something.
Anyway, sorry, tangent. Er, well, I guess this whole thing is a tangent. One little distracting piece of something while I take a break from studying for my summer classes. See, you know, it's nice teaching and not having to work during the summer. However, still all kinds of a student. I guess I could have skipped out on classes. I thought about it. But then my dad would have given me that stern look, and I would have felt guilty, and learning wouldn't have happened, and it would have been a thing.
Oh, wow, okay, that was really boring. It's 6:30 am and I've been up since 6 yesterday morning studying for a 'mid-term' we have in my Roman History class on Monday. I'm a little babble-y and a whole lot o' tired. I'm thinking of taking a nap.
Aaaaand, this is me stopping. Sorry for the babble. Please return to your regularly scheduled life-i-ness.

I've kind of been in the hospital for the last couple days. I was having these...I don't even know. But it was not so goodly.
I was just feeling...kind of empty, like something was missing, and then I was seeing things.
GoddessWait, what?, I sound completely crazy. Just, ignore me. Anywhere, that's where I've been.
So, hi! Have I missed anything I should know about?

I'm gonna go ahead and join in on the funness. Like a lot of the people in our sleepy little town, I'm gettin' back some not-so-fun memories. Usually I'm not so into the mass amounts and straight forward, but I'm a little angry at whoever put me here, so here goes:
My name's Willow Rosenberg and I'm from Sunnydale, California; a nifty small town full of demons and evil. I've only been here a couple months and I was sent here by my kind-of-like-a-mentor Giles after my girlfriend was killed and I went a little crazy. I don't have a sister, Wash and I have only been dating since January, I've only been here since January.
I don't understand what's happening, I don't know what Giles was thinking putting me here, I just know that this wasn't my life.

Finals are coming up at HU. So, I've been doing the insane student thing. I've spent so much time in the library recently that woah, almost made a joke about Wash probably thinking I'm cheating on him. Good job, Willow all the employees know me by name. The cafe hands me a cup of coffee as soon as I walk in in the morning. I'm kinda not okay with this. I think it might be taking it's toll on me. Like, stress is...doing things.
Thank God I haven't moved into that all-nighter stage. I'd never see Wash or Elena. But, I feel like I'm ignoring other people. I'm sorry! I swear I'm not. I'm just...never around. Or, I feel like I'm never around. I could be wrong. Feel free to tell me I'm wrong. I think the prospect of finals is making it feel like more time has passed than it has.

We seem to be getting a lot of new and old people back to the Network. And, I think more new people in town then we've had in a while.
Part of the newcomers is my niece Elena. She's come to live with me. I think her other aunt hoped this would be a...safer environment. She'd obviously never been to Harmony. So, I've set her up on the guest side of my apartment. Elena was kinda-sorta-actually yanked out of her hometown high school just before he Senior year. Yeah, not so cool. But, I hope she does adjust and that it just takes some time.
I guess that's all I have to report. Oddly enoughThings have been pretty normal for the last couple weeks. It's been nice. Time with Wash, time with Heather, getting Elena settled. I'm back to a full course load at the high school.
It's...nice to have some normal again.

I'm feelin' the need to also get my fact checkiness on.
Um, so, my parents don't live here and I have no siblings. I've been dating Hoban Washburne since November. I'm friends with a myriad of people on the Network and I have no enemies. I'm a substitute teacher at the high school. I'm a Harmony University student. I was fairly recently...taken.
Does all that sounds about right?
Um, I'm with James...world, please, go back to normal.

I know I've been kind of reclusive. Or, well, I've been spending all of my time in either my apartment or Wash's.
I kinda feel all sorts o' silly for still feeling off. Does that makes sense? Like, a bunch of us got taken and people are dealing with it fine. And, it's not that I'm not dealing with it fine, I feel surprisingly zen about the actual situation even if the thought of that guy makes me wanna peel off his skin...*shiver* Woah, vivid mental image. And, I know people are still freaked out. I'm not the only one of us not posting mass amounts of journal entries. I just feel...silly. Odd word, silly. Especial in reference to this, right? And, I've been commenting on some things and being person-like. So, it's not like I've been avoiding the Network. I've just been spending a lot of time with Wash trying to remember be moderately normal, I think. Or, ya know, our approximation of normal. But, I'm gonna try to go back to my complete approximation of normal. Nothing that happened has changed who I am fundamentally Although, all those random vivid images I keep getting make me doubt that that's true. So, I'm gonna try to be regular Willow, see how that works out.
Eesh, that was a little babble-like. Sorry.

Yesterday was...an eventful day. Not the good kind where you get a new puppy, but the other kind. Zelda, I'm sorry you had to deal with that. I really am. I don't-I don't know what got into me, but thank you. I don't know if I told you that enough yesterday, but thank you so much.
Heather, I'm glad you're okay. I know you're not okay-okay, but I'm glad you're...alive. You'd left the hospital the day before they brought me in yesterday, I knew that. And, I haven't heard from you. You probably don't wanna talk about...whatever happened. But, if you need someone to sit with you or anything, I'm here. I'll be there. Just-just let me know.
I'm going home this afternoon, they said I could. It's probably a good thing. But I wonder how they could justify it.

Has anybody heard from Heather? I can't get a hold of her, I've been trying since Sunday night. I looked up her address today and went by her apartment, but she didn't answer. I heard Stanley barking and scratching through the door. I don't think she's been there...in a while.
I'm really worried, I've been really worried, and this isn't helping. If anybody's seen her, please let me know.
Edit: I went to Heather's building again to at least check on Stanley. I spoke to her super and he said he'd been listening to Stanley cry all day so he took him to his apartment to feed him.
Then, I talked to Heather's neighbor. He said there hadn't been anyone in her apartment for a couple days.
I'm seriously freaking out right now.
Edit 2: I reported it, didn't do much good.

So, I found out today that Penny's husband ended up being missing (and my brain said kidnapped, cause that's where my brain has started going), as well as a student I'd had in class a few times.
I'm a little freaked out by this. And, by a little, I mean a lot. Like, 'Woah, hey, look, people I know are being hurt.' So, um, in an effort to ease some of my flipping-the-fuck-out-because-I'm-assuming-everyone-I-know-is-hurt, please contact me. A little something. Even just a "Not Kidnapped." Anything will ease some of my worry. That being said, if you don't I'm gonna start banging on doors. We don't want this. I'm irrationally freaking out, btw.

So, they've been giving me more classes at the high school. It's strange. I swear to God I've never had this many. It's not that big of a problem, I still spend a fair amount of time at home so it's not messing with my studies too much. Sometimes I get distracted in the evenings by a certain someone or someones. But do I mean Wash or Ema? Both. Fuck. All in all though, that's been pretty alright. Keeping me a little more busy, which I think is good.
Also, in other news, I think there's a very big possibility that I'm going to hell. Hell going, this one, that's it. All over. Don't worry about me, I hear it's warm there.
Wash, did I mention I loved my V-Day present? I don't think I'd put it in a public forum at least, so here is this. I love the Beatles and they're very you which makes me smile. Amazing, you, amazing. Me, stupid cheating whore, me. I know it's been like a week. I'm a little late and scatter brained...but you knew that and theoretically like me just that way.
