- Location, location, location: I'm moving back in with my parents, because my grandparents house, where I was living is to be given back to the bank. This sucks because I liked liking on my own and not feeling guilty for not taking care of other people, but it does mean that I have better and non-dramatic roommates who are way more likely to do their own dishes.
- Arguments: Because I thought I'd have more time, I joined another school's Forensics team (not dead bodies). So far I think that I will have no life, but my non-life is fun. Plus I won first place at the competition on Saturday in my division. Not bad, for my first tournament this year.
- Schooling: This semester, I'm taking six classes, 3 at both my normal college and at the college where I'm doing Forensics. This is because I both need to graduate and need 6 units to be able to compete on the team. This has made my school load pretty heavy - especially since it takes an hour to get to the other campus (without traffic and speeding).
- Relationships: I've just recently realized that I don't actually want one, right now. I suppose I've known this for a while, considering how much I really haven't pursued people. But the kicker came this weekend, where a boy, after an awesome coffee date, decided we were going out. I had to tell him no and that I wasn't interested. I realized that I really enjoy the freedoms of being single. The flirting, the flaunting, the secret admiring of a certain cute boy with a spiffy trenchcoat and of the business major that keeps looking awesome and being intelligent, the not having to call and care all the time - I'm too busy for a boy and I'm glad that's the case.
- Serial killers: The show Dexter makes me depressed because I connect with him. Why am I connecting with the emotionless sociopath?!? Please tell me that other people connect to him too. Please.
- Old people: Well, mainly my grandpa. I'm his helper in the mornings before his nap and my school. I move him around and feed him, put him on the toilet and help him brush his hair. My mother feels guilty about this, but mainly because she thinks that his is the first penis I've seen. I find this amusing.
- Aesthetics: I've started to care more about my appearance and experiment with jewelry, makeup and cute clothes. Next step: break my addiction to graphic tees.

Bad Blogger, I know.
But so many things have been happening this past month, it's sort of crazy:

3. WOAH that is a lot of classes.
4. In my head 'certain cute boy with a spiffy trenchcoat' = omg Sam knows the tenth Doctor irl. And Jack Harkness, and Mal, and Spike, and Peter Petrelli, and Castiel, and... (well okay, Castiel's trenchcoat is not so much 'spiffy' as 'clean-cut hobo')
So now I'm writing an imaginary essay about the significance of trenchcoats in overdramatic science fiction shows. SAM ARE YOU IN AN OVERDRAMATIC SCIENCE FICTION SHOW?? This is an important point to be sure of!
5. There was too much dying horribly on Dexter for me to sustain an interest in it, but for emotionless sociopaths I've overrelated to see: Sherlock, the 2010 BBC modern-day Sherlock Holmes miniseries. (It has just the right amount of dying horribly. And this version of Holmes is super weird.)
It's only three episodes so far, go watch it! I always love John Watson, but this is the first incarnation where I care equally about Holmes.
6. I have a feeling this is going to be me and my parents one day (their health is shitty, both mental and physical, and while they're fine right now, when things go downhill they go downhill fast) and few things scare me more. You sound like you're okay with it, but still, I'm sorry :(
7. Recently I've made another excursion into trying to figure out how makeup works. I'm still failing. Send help :(((
Update on lit class which has nothing to do with your post: RICHARD THE SECOND, I HATE YOU. IF I HAD A HEAVY OBJECT AT HAND I WOULD HIT YOU WITH IT, IDC THAT YOU DON'T EXIST. Just... shut up, Richard the second. Please, please shut up. /lit student rage
3) Well, I decided to drop one of my Riverside classes. It was a writing class and I don't actually need it to graduate and I'm feeling crammed, so.... Goodbye Religion in America.
4) Oh, no. If anything, it's an anime. The shy, but cute boy, two secret admirers (one gay boy, one straight girl). All we need is some hilarious misunderstanding and it's all set.
5) I dunno if I want to watch it. I always get SUPERdepressed when Dexter happens and then I feel like I need to pretend to like people, and then get depressed at that. Will Sherlock make that happen?
Sidenote: The gruesome death doesn't bother me, I watched too many Law and Order episodes as a kid. I would not recommend this to anyone as a method of being okay with dead things, though. It makes you really paranoid of things like trees, shadows and shower curtains.
6) I think it's tougher for a parent/child relationship in any case. Grandparents are always old - seeing them get older is not that hard. Parents? totally different story. Your parents seem healthy - this whole bathroom thing doesn't really become an issue until people turn 80+.
7) Makeup is hard. So mostly I ignore it, or make someone else do it when I want to go out. It seems to be working as a method so far. =P
Update: When and where do you want to do it? I will mail you a heavy object and you can hit the book with it to kill him.
4) Somehow the only reaction I'm capable of here is "Awwww!"
5) Sherlock doesn't make that happen for me, but I'm not you so I don't know. I think Sherlock has a different thing going on re: how you're supposed to relate to the main character than Dexter does. (Although, having not seen much Dexter I can't say for certain.) With Sherlock you get a sense that being an unfriendly loner is just kind of fine - it works for him and it works for John, who likes him in spite of his sociopathicness and isn't presented as his ~saving grace~ or anything.
6) My dad has a recurring problem with his heart/blood, and the thing is, he doesn't tell us when it's getting bad unless he can't avoid actually winding up in an emergency room. Last time he had major surgery for it he was incapacitated - as in sleeping on the couch because he couldn't handle five stairs - for two months. So I sort of have a braced-for-imminent-disaster mindset re: my parents.
I don't, weirdly, with my grandparents, even though my Grandmother has nearly died several times a year for the past few years. It's like, at this point she's pretty much attained superhero status, so I don't need to worry about it. And when she does ACTUALLY die we wont've had time to freak out about it beforehand, because we're so used to her not dying.
Unfortunately Henry IV got there first. And he didn't even do it dramatically. He was like 'Hey, someone should kill Richard II,' and then someone did, and he was like, 'Gosh that's really sad, we were FAMILY, how could you!'
Henry IV is shaping up to be just as annoying as Richard II. Dear Shakespeare: your histories do not feature nearly enough nonsense. I thought nonsense was the whole point of Shakespeare! Please resurrect yourself and email me to tell me what is the deal here.
