As my Hanukkah/Christmas gift from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) faded_lace, I now have a shiny new paid account :D I need to find myself a custom mood theme now... Any suggestions for where to look? I found a Katou one, but I'm not sure if I like it enough to spend 5 hours uploading it XD;
I'm pretty excited for the possibility of 6 inches of snow tonight. It kind of sucks for the people who want to be leaving in the next few days, but...I'm already bitter about being stuck here until Thursday, so whatever XD;;
And now back to studying... |

I came home for the weekend to see the Nutcracker and got the added bonus of it falling during Hanukkah, so I got to celebrate a little bit with my family. Hilde and I made latkes this afternoon, which was a bit of an adventure at first, but they turned out really well :D
And I really enjoyed the Nutcracker~ faded_lace and everyone did an awesome job ♥
Also, I've decided belatedly that I want to send out holiday/new year's cards. XD So comment with your address and I'll send you one! (Comments are screened.) |

1) Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/bands [fannish etc.] that you've had an obsessive fannish love or interest in at some time in your life.
2) Have your f-list guess your favourite character/member from each item.
3) When someone guesses correctly, strike through the item and put the name of your favorite character next to it.

This article makes me so happy! Positively J Street
Mostly because I'm glad to hear that the event I organized really reached people, that people felt it filled a void we have on our campus. But also because I agree with almost everything the author of the article says, and she puts it more clearly and concisely than I could. XD
J Street’s general appeal, they argued, is too broad for the divisive details of Israeli policy. Yet even the willingness to discuss those details has become a policy stance, and an essential one. I may not agree with every position J Street takes, but if its members can accept that, then so can I.
I would sacrifice my support for Israel before I sacrificed my freedom to criticize its actions. And so too, eventually, would many other liberals and moderates among Jewish and otherwise sympathetic observers. |

I'm finally done with midterms! Thank god @__@
And Thanksgiving~ I'm not leaving until after 8 tomorrow night because of work, but I'm only going an hour away so whatever. I really wish I were going home so I could see people, but alas, Thanksgiving is happening at my aunt and uncle's as usual. At least I'm getting a break, and I'll probably come back to campus on Saturday and enjoy the quiet while everyone else is still gone XD;
Also, I am going home in a couple weeks to see faded_lace in DDC's Nutcracker on December 12! Does anyone want to see it with me? I can buy tickets together if anyone wants.

My event today went so well! I'm so happy. We had a great turnout--about 60 people, I think, and mostly students! We managed to buy about the right amount of food, and the system of having people write their questions on index cards for the Q&A section worked really well.

I was expecting my computer science problem set to take a few hours at least, like all the previous ones did, but suddenly I'm done after like...an hour and a half. 8D This means I should get started on my ODE problem set, since I have a million and one other things to do besides that tomorrow night, but a small break first...
~~
I've accepted the fact that I'm probably never going to have time to write up my J Street conference report before I forget everything I was going to say about it. But there's one thing Jeremy Ben-Ami said that really resonated with me, so I'd like to muse a little bit about that.

I'm at Bryn Mawr! I arrived last night. I'll be here until tomorrow evening, and then I'm going home for my two days of "fall break."
The plan is to dress as Pippi Longstocking tonight. There may or may not be pictures later...
Oh, and faded_lace gave me my birthday present, an extremely adorable Yuushi charamate ♥
Happy Halloween, everyone :D |

I'm back from 3 days in DC for the J Street conference. It was awesome and I'm really glad I went but now I'm tired and have a bit of a cold... A huge post about the conference will likely come soon because I really want to put some of my thoughts about it into words.
But for now...

Best. Birthday celebration. Ever.
I went to see Girlyman at Joe's Pub tonight, and I dragged cyloncurry and Nina along with me~ It was amazing. Yes, I love their CDs, but there's no comparison to seeing them live. They're just so good.
There was also a guest drummer! JJ Jones from the band Po' Girl, a Canadian band currently touring with Girlyman. (But they didn't play at tonight's show.) She was adorable to watch--she looked like she was having so much fun, she was practically dancing at the drum set! XD
After the show, I wanted to buy a poster to add to my lovely walls, but they were all out. ;__; Consequently, I was wishing for something to get signed, and somehow my friends managed to peer pressure me into getting my skirt signed. XD;;; So Ty, Doris, and Nate have all now signed my skirt. *researches ways to keep Sharpie from fading*
( And I got pictures~ )
About how I'm way to flail-y to go to sleep right now. *rolls away* |

Henry just made my day. XDD Conversation under the cut:
( How many times do you think about tennis every day? )
Other than that, my birthday's been pretty good. My mom sent me a party in a box, ie. a cake mix and lots of other silly things including SKY DANCER INVITATIONS. XDD Those things were a highlight of my childhood. So I think we're going to do cake baking and decorating on Saturday, probably.
And cyloncurry gave me a cute little chocolate strawberry shortcake! My inner Yuuta was very happy.
And...now it's almost Tezuka's birthday, and Katou's! It kind of makes me giggle that they have the same birthday... |
