Those land communities are really addictive to join.

Well, ever since I became more invovled in one and then I was all, 'Hey, this is fun!  And makes me slightly less bored!  I shall go join more!' and so I went and did join more.  Two more.

And now here I come--pimping the communites I joined (because they're new and need more members because more members=lots of fun):



You can find out more information here.  There are three teams (Rocketgeese, Dragons, and Piratefish) and you compete against other teams for points and it's fun and slightly addictive and did I mention it's fun?  Go join :)

And, the other one I recently joined because thought it was fun (and I had been thinking a couple days ago that wouldn't it be awesome if there was a land community for the show?  And then I saw a post about it and I was all, 'My prayers have been answered!' and joined):



You can find out more information here.  There are four teams (Sam, Gene, Alex, and Annie) and you compete against other teams for points and it's fun and addictive.  Go join :)

Anyway, I've gotten most of my grades for my classes.  A's in three classes (bio psych, abnormal psych, and yoga) and B in stained art (seriously? skewed grading system :/ she graded on quality of the stained art glass we did.  I'm sorry, but not all of us can really make a really professional-like stained art piece -_- she should've at least graded us on how much we completed, so if we completed all we get an A, but no, it had to be quality).  I'm still waiting for philosophy but so far it looks pretty good.  (Reminds me of a story my mom told me.  One semester in college she was taking all these hard classes, in which she got all A's and then in an art history class she was taking she got a B.  Ruined her chance at getting straight A's, which she told me she never achieved.  If I hypothetically get an A in philosophy, which i somewhat doubt, then I can sympathize with her frustration over the B in the art history class.)

A quick little run-down on what's been happening in my life so far:

-I'm almost out of community college.  Yay!  Just two more days of torture (especially philosophy--I hate the subject.  It's just...all thoughts and no concrete evidence to back up theories.  At least in anthropology I can go out into society and observe people and that's my evidence right there for theories but philosophy is so abstract and it frustrates me so so much.  And I liked the anthropological class on religion over the philosophical class on religion.  I think I can write a paper on how they're so different from each other even though both classes are about religion).

-I decided to go to UCI.  Because it's closer to home.  And I don't think I can handle living in a dorm room, personally.  (I can handle it, I think.  I just don't think I'd particularly like it all that much.  My space=mine.  And, hell, I like living at home in my own room with my own computer and I've heard horror stories about dorm rooms in the past from some friends and I don't want to go through that.)

Plus, because it's closer to home, why live there if I can easily commute (such as by bus, because parking will probably be undoubtedly complicated) and save money in the long run.

Plus I can minor or major in European studies.  UCSB only had a major for medieval studies, which seeemed pretty limited, if I wanted to double major or major and minor for anthropology and European studies.  And UCLA--IDK about the classes there.  I just like the European studies more because, if I decide to do something with that, it'll be more broader than narrow.  And I like that idea.

-behind on TV shows.  But I'm okay with that.  And I don't feel like catching up on NCIS: LA so all I've been watching is Merlin and Doctor Who and, on BBC America even though I have it on my computer, Ashes to Ashes.  (They aren't using subtitles!  I remember when they'd spontaneously use subtitles.  They're improving.  Now if they'd not cut the episode down and air it in its entirety, then it'd be awesome, and if it'd get out of its 'show repeats of random reality shows' funk then I'd like the channel.)

-I haven't mentioned how much I like Amy on Doctor Who, have I?  Because I like Amy.  She's awesome.  Oh, and the new Doctor is awesome too, but Amy :D

-Merlin's still cute.  (The show, not the character.  Although Colin Morgan is still cute.)(But the show is just cute and adorable.  And fun.)

-Shows I'll watch this summer: The Gates (IDK what it is about but I've heard it involves the supernatural of some kind so I'm all, 'Yay non-drama-like show!  Paranormal type of show!'  I'll check it out), The Bridge (it stars Aaron Douglas from BSG and I've always had a soft spot for Tyrol in seasons 1 and 2 of BSG so I'll check it out), The Good Guys (it's made by Matt Nix who did Burn Notice so I'm putting all my faith and trust into the assumption that if Nix created something as awesome as Burn Notice then The Good Guys will be as awesome.  Or at least good), Burn Notice (got season 3 on DVD today and I haven't seen most of season 3.  And I've forgotten what went on in season 1 and 2.  This calls for a marathoning of the show in the future.  Which will be really fun.  If there's a show that's fun to marathon, it's Burn Notice.  It's the explosions and action and the characters that make it fun), White Collar, Psych (as if I would put it off my schedule.  As if.  In an alternate parallel universe my parallel-self would even watch it because it's that awesome and cool), Being Human, and Eureka.  Oh, yes, I forgot about Covert Affairs.  I want to check that out as well.  If it's anything like White Collar and Burn Notice, then I'll probably like Covert Affairs.  (Again with that faith and trust that if USA has other good shows that I like then I'll probably like something else that it has.  It didn't work so well with Royal Pains, though.  I didn't really get attatched to that show as much as Burn Notice, White Collar, or Psych.)

-and then I read about this show that stars Callum Keith Rennie and it's called Shattered and I'm so hoping some American network will show it (it's Canadian.  Well, Canadian-made show and will be shown on a Canadian channel, from what I've read, but no word yet on American channels) because it stars CKR.  I liked Leoben in BSG because CKR played him.  And the show seems interesting.  (Because it stars CKR.  Shallow?  Me?  Why, yes, maybe.)

-there are these land communites on LJ that sometimes focus on a show and there are contests and games in those communities and it's helped me break out of my shell of shyness on the Internet.  (My shell of shyness extends to the Internet.  One reason I don't leave comments: I'm shy.  Well, sort of self-conscious/shy of leaving comments and I don't know why.  It's not that I don't like anyone that I don't leave comments, I'm just...hesitant.  I so don't know what my problem is...) but yes, I've been participating like crazy this weeek in the one I'm in, trying to help my team win because I'm like that, and I've been doing challenges I wouldn't normally do otherwise.
