Ugh okay in the last 48 hours I have been awake like maybe 8 hours total. HOWEVER, I feel a lot better! My tonsils are no longer SUPERHUGE and my throat and ears hurt much less. But I accidentally slept through a planned date with Robot, whoops. Actually I'm not sure how accidental it was because he wanted to have a conversation about the state of our relationship or something (this is something he feels the need to do like every two weeks; it's really annoying) and I may have been unconsciously avoiding it.

And a LONG TIME AGO I did a meme where I named some fandoms and people said which characters from those fandoms they thought I was most like. I said I would post which I thought I was most like, but then only kandigurl replied and I got all distracted by finals and didn't. BUT NOW I WILL. So:

1. Star Wars - Princess Leia. I HOPE SO, ANYWAY.
2. Star Trek (any series) - Kira? Or Ezri Dax. I'm not sure.
3. Battlestar Galactica - I DON'T KNOW. Probably Lee. He's kind of stuffy and bitchy but holds to his ideals, and he has his occasional moments of emo. And is totally in love with Kara. SO THAT SOUNDS LIKE ME.
4. Bones - Cam. Or Sweets. lollllll.
5. Gossip Girl (for the lols) - idk. I want to be Blair but I'm probably more Vanessa.
6. Arrested Development - Lindsay, without a doubt. Shallow and materialistic? Yessir, that's me.
7. Chuck - Ellie. She's such a good big sister! I hope I'm a good big sister.
8. Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Willow, probably. I most want to be like Anya, but I'm totally a Willow.
9. Angel! - Fred, of course!
10. Superheroes (any and all) - oh dear, I don't know. I wanted to see what other people thought. I own a pretty spiffy Wonder Woman tote bag though. I carry my groceries in it.

I don't want to be like GRAWR MY STUPID FRIENDS but JESUS CHRIST, who on earth calls at 1 am on a Monday night the last week of classes wanting to borrow BSG season 3 on DVD? Other, of course, than my friends? And then, despite me saying I'll lend them the dvds but they can't stay long (this isn't a problem because they live thirty seconds away) because I'm writing a paper, saunter in and start looking through all my stuff? I LOVE MY FRIENDS BUT SERIOUSLY.

And since my study time has already been interrupted (and what's a little more interruption), a meme!

List the first ten series that come to mind. Your friends will comment with the character from each series that they think you are most like. Remember this is who I'm most like, not favorites! And oh jesus, you so do not have to try to come up with characters from each. Don't work that hard, it's a meme. Just one or two is okay (though if you think of more, feel free!)

1. Star Wars
2. Star Trek (any series)
3. Battlestar Galactica
4. Bones
5. Gossip Girl (for the lols)
6. Arrested Development
7. Chuck
8. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
9. Angel!
10. Superheroes (any and all)

I'm declaring open season on all characters, regardless of gender. Also, as a fun twist, I'll later post who I think I'm most like. Because it's really not fun if we can't compare answers.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next seven sentences in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

"The third feature distinguishing social rules from habits is implicit in what has already been said, but it is one so important and so frequently disregarded or misrepresented in jurisprudence that we shall elaborate it here. It is a feature which throughout this book we shall call the internal aspect of rules. When a habit is general in a social group, this generality is merely a fact about the observable behavior of most of the group. In order that there should be such a habit no members of the group need in any way think of the general behavior, or even know that the behavior in question is general; still less need they strive to teach or intend to maintain it. It is enough that each for his part behaves in the way that others also in fact do. By contrast, if a social rule is to exist some at least must look upon the behavior in question as a general standard to be followed by the group as a whole. A social rule has an 'internal' aspect, in addition to the external aspect which it shares with a social habit and which consists in the regular uniform behavior which an observer could record."
- H.L.A. Hart, The Concept of Law

My professor says of this book that when the back cover claims it is "probably the most important work of legal philosophy produced this [twentieth] century," it isn't kidding. Or exaggerating. Or whatever. It is also indicative of what I've been reading that I think this book is easy compared to most readings.

The thing that I love most about this article is how Steve Sansweet pops up near the end to go "STFU n00bs, try being Star Wars."

( a meme, because I had time to kill )

I'm homesick today. It's really stupid since we've been going on vacation here for my entire life and I know this town pretty well. But. Like. Everything is so small. And the mountains are so massive it's like they're suffocating the sky and I just want to go back to Texas where the land is flat, as is right and proper.

*sadface*

( To cheer myself up I did that meme. You know the one. )

Icon thieves with bad taste. They hotlinked and claimed as their own some of the ugliest icons I've posted on lj. Classy.

1. Reply to THIS post, and I will select four or five of your userpics that I like.
2. Make a entry and talk about the icons I have chosen.
3. Other people will then comment on your entry and you will do the same as I have done for you.
4. Thus creating a NEVER ENDING CYCLE of icon merriment.

I've been feeling totally drained of energy for the past few weeks. Can't even do anything in photoshop without falling asleep. Blah.

I like the memes that involve posting pictures. They're always so pretty!

1. Go to www.flickr.com
2. Type in your answer to the question in the "search" box
3. Use only the first page
4. Copy the html and paste for the answer.

do it in your journal if you haven't already!

I don't usually do memes because I don't usually find them interesting, but I liked this one.

My top five guilty pleasures (that I could think of, at least):

1. Driving. More specifically, driving obscenely fast, weaving in and out of traffic (although I don't do this much, really), and hitting the gas instead of the brakes. This is my absolute biggest guilty pleasure because it's dangerous. I know this and yet I can't resist.

2. Turning up the volume on music/movies.

3. Candy and ice cream. Actually, this isn't really a guilty pleasure, but if I start gaining weight, it sure will be!

4. Making sarcastic but witty comments. This wouldn't be a guilty pleasure except that sometimes I say them to people who don't get that I'm being sarcastic and they cry. And then I am sad, and also like, "wtf man omg!"

5. Reading porn online. Ohhhhh yeah, you knew this was gonna make the list, didn't you?

Also, I love my video rental store. Earlier tonight I went tearing into the place at ten minutes past closing time looking like a crazy person and they were totally cool with it and let me rent some movies.
