I don't think I'll ever be back. It's highly doubtful. There's not really much here to hold me down, and so I'll fly away.
If you want to keep in touch, reach my blog at egtech.net/~yolanda and maybe we'll still talk.
It was nice while it lasted. Thank you for the memories. Thank you for the love.
May life be beautiful and worth everything you put into it.

I've been gone for so long and I feel like I owe you all an explanation, here it is, in one word: fanfiction.
Yes, I've been sucked back into that nefarious world of dirty literary minded geniuses who churn out hoards of delightful prose for me to read voraciously. I love it.
Draco/Hermione makes my toes curl in joy and I've stumbled upon a little ring of sites and have been thoroughly enjoying myself there since around... Thursday. I'm considering taking one up as my own to cuddle and nurse because Merlin knows my ship needs it. Do you know how much crap is written about D/Hr?? A lot. It's depressing, distressing, and really really annoying.
I want to collect all the good fics in one place [or just all the fics and merely point at the far superior ones to save people time and not look like a discriminate elitist, which I am of course] and give them good loving homes. Or just really pervy readers who will enjoy them properly. :D That and I don't think there are any Pansy/Ron shrines. ::sniff:: My poor het ships, and you wonder why there are slashers out there, silly people.
Oh, I baked the other day as well. :D The house didn't burn down and now I have cupcakes to put Nutella on [I'm terribly decadent, so sue me]. I actually had a wee little convo with someone on it, yea, I was on aim too. ( Read more... )

Back. I don't know why I bother staying on blurty half the time anyway, all I ever do is comment on 1/50 entries and then... leave. ::sigh:: The drama, baybee, hardcore drama, yo. haha.
Hope you all had a good summer.  as_you_wish, I am so feeling the computer angst right now. Charon's totally fuckered and I can barely do anything. There isn't even enough RAM for virus scan to run automatically and I probably shouldn't even go online with him at all. He's getting on in the years. :( le sigh.

| CTY [warning: v. v. long although cut massively] |
[13 Aug 2003|07:08pm] |
|
CTY is officially the acronym for Center for Talented Youth, although there are many other less official long hand forms for writing it such as Center for the 'Tarded Youth, Center for Bad Spellers, Can't Tell You, etc. But to all who go there, it's a place full of memories. <-- v. sappy beginning.
CTY is held at a number of various college campuses and there are those whose goal it is to go to a campus in every state [going to all of them is not possible, as a student] or to go to the same campus every year. I did the latter for two years and this year I headed off to the main campus at Johns Hopkins University, the school that funds all us talented youths in our summer escapades, for a mere US$3,000. What a steal.
( Campuses and their subtle but obvious differences. )
There's not too much to say about class other than: ( Read more... )
This lack of class bondage led to an extremely close hall. ( Read more... )
Aside from my hall I bonded with the Genetics class where my 'sister' was so that was fun as well. They were really just down the hall from us. For the first time I was in a hall that was friendly with the hall down the hall. Try saying that 3 times fast. All in all CTY was fun but I definitly wouldn't recommend JHU to anyone. :D Although I don't know if I'll go back to Lancaster either. It's my nomore/nevermore (nevermore's used at JHU) year so I'm gonna make it good. Heard Carlisle (our sister site, our meaning F&M) is good for the older kids. ;]

I just did a friends page cut. It was big in comparison to the actual list but only about 6 things got cut and two people. You can probably guess if I cut you because we just never really talked and probably never will. Either it was only me commenting to you or neither of us commenting to either. It was great having you as a friend but I really don't think we have that much in common after all. Sorry and thank you for being there.

I hope you all had a lovely time, missed you oodles as well. :D
Oh, guess what, Charon crashed again so I need to back up his files. ::shakes fist:: I'd better not lose my photoshop or psp, that'll annoy me to no end. But at least that means I'll get more RAM, I think.

I'm to be off for CTY in Baltimore, Maryland and completely cut off from the internet for at least three weeks until August 9th at the earliest.
If you could be ever so kind and not email me unless it's important and not comment unless it's important, short or very highly amusing I'll love you forever. I have a hotmail email account that receives a lot of spam. I don't want to miss any "earth-shattering" news and odds are the spam will flood my account anyway, but optimism is a good thing.
I love you all lots and will miss you. I'll keep a journal so I won't forget the interesting stuff, a real journal. ;D

Well that was one week of volunteering mostly with little 4-6 year olds and a hella lot of fun. :D Some of the kids there were beyond cute, like little Alex who looked exactly like Rupert Grint [Ronald Weasley] except younger. Sure he liked to say 'hi' a lot and wipe his sweat on people (eg. my arm) but, hell, he was gone on both field trips and that helped. There was also Katie and Brendan, who I loved seperately and they were oh-so-cute together. Brendan would always say 'here Katie, we've got to _______' and it was v. v. insanely adorable like you could not imagine. Other pairs included the Julia/Cassie which was sweet and then Molly/Elizabeth, both in an utterly platonic way, although Molly/Elizabeth sure was touchy-feely. Molly got a little annoying in the fact that she was such a loud-mouthed know-it-all, but then again I suppose half of the reason I had "issues" was because I was a lot like that when I was little. Not too hard to believe I imagine. Bryan was also v. cute and such a little future player. No really, he'd go around to all of the counselors and volunteers and hang on us and be cute and such a little, well, diva I guess but he was so sweet that you really didn't mind. There was also Tyler who was quite a handful but cute and we mustn't forget Patrick who was just as noisy though not quite as cute, but still rather nice. Aidan was, well, Aidan and sometimes you wanted to take him home with you and other times you wished you were allowed to cage the little brats. There were also Garrett, Michael and Colin my quiet ones, who were v. nice for a break from the ever mouthy Alex and Jonah [the most verbally obnoxious of them all. Damn that kid could talk.]. Then there was Vincent who had that poor culture barrier to cross and I knew he understood a lot more than he let on, but still refused to keep his hands out of body parts, both his and others. ::sigh:: He'll get over it, we hope.
Today one of the little kids said 'goddammit'. I'm not to sure what to say, because I sure as hell didn't know that word when I was 4. >.> I was a good little kid.

Nothing ruins a book more than having to write a report on it. it's not like I wouldnt' do that naturally or discuss books with friends. No, see I hang out with people who read it's really rather nice like that. I was actually talking to a good friend the other day [i'm at her house now watching her brother and his friend. they're in 7th grade so this is v. v. easy and nice] and it turns out that our lives revolve around two things: the internet and fandoms. and you know what, those fandoms are all literary based so nyah! I feel superior to other fangirls. :D ::snigger:: Oh don't hurt my ego, it's v. bruised and small already.
For summer reading I did The Catcher in the Rye. Oh my bob, why didn't I read this earlier? It's so good I love it. I'm so glad I bought the copy instead of borrowing because quite frankly, Holden is my hero. ::swoon:: ( Cut because this will ruin the book for you )
That was a terribly long paragraph and I digressed like mad crazy. Give me a tangent opportunity and you'll be damned if I don't hop right on it. :D I swear, I think half the time I'm crazy. And then I think myself crazy for thinking I'm crazy in the first place. did anyone understand that? does that mean anything to you? because if it does then please, explain it to me. I haven't the time nor drive to go get it down professionally. besides, I trust you a lot more than some scary person who went to school and got a degree in all that. I mean, professional sadism isn't all that attractive you know. I think that's what it is. I mean, I'm called a sadist all the time [not really, I exaggerate like mad crazy] but I'm also interested in things like diseases and mental conditions. Anything that differs us drastically is worth a looksee and the corruption of the human body. THe human body isn't really all that attractive, I'd take a tree over it any day, but it's complexity and how everything just goes together and works is simply fascinating. And then you get things like viruses, who are probably the closest we'll ever get to alien life forms, who aren't even alive and yet than can debilitate this great machine and bring up to our deathbeds in such rapid movement. I mean, ebola. Can anything be more fascinating than that? I can't really tolerate excessive amounts of gore either. ::Shudder:: You know what, I should stop. You're eyes have probably glazed over by now, I've learned to skip long entries because they're usually just pointless ramble or equally if not more so pointless angsting. Gawd, nothing I hate more than angst. I'm such a hypocrite. I've also abused the phrase "I mean" more times than is healthy in this one singular little piece of crap.
until the crazy muse bites again.
all my love,
yoli

::wonders why everyone mentions getting HP5 like it was some sort of Holy Grail involving trial by fire, wind, water, and evil scary blades:: meh. Beats me when mine'll arrive and I prolly won't read it immediatly either. hah! take that JKR. fuck you, you capitalist PIG.
"just chillin'" at my sister's friends house. I'm on an XP at 800x600 and trying v. hard not to gag. Beats me how people can put up with it. 800x600 I can deal with ::twitch:: but the colours for XP at default are really something to be reckoned with. For those who don't know the bottom tool bar, brightish blue and that start button, a nice constrating green of the same hue. My eyes... ::moans::
But they have cable [ours got cut after the discovered we were getting it for free. damn. I miss my History channel and metro fashion] so that was the last couple of hours of my life. There was the VH1 top 100 which I caught the last 2 score of and the MTV awards which I didn't watch all of but I saw Gollum [really funny] and the 'Lij tackle of super tattooed MTV guy. That was cute. That guy has scary eyes and BILLYYY!!! :] Gotta love the Scots, 'less they've got a shiny dirk at your throat. Then you blame your parents for not getting you one in return last Christmas. >:/
I'm a little flushed and tipsy. I'm wearing a fleece and took off the turtleneck a bit ago but, eh. Might be the telly, might've been wearing too much, might've been the alcohol in my steak [I apparently have little tolerance, of course the only alcohol I've had was the vodka in the vodka chicken my mom used to make, not anymore though. it was good too. :( Wonder if that means I'd like straight vodka...]. Either way, cheerio and, um, yea.

Um, updating so you don't feel like I just take up space on your info page. :] Course, I'm very good at that and it's important to capitalize on one's strengths but never mind. The parents never considered it a good reason to be constantly sleeping. :'(
This weekend we opened the pool, very exciting. We actually did the physical take of the top thing at 20.00 on Friday night. o.O Yes, my family is a little screwy but that's okay because I love them and that's where I got the genes so stop looking at me all weird!.
Sunday afternoon was spent boiling fish for bones. Two fish, two incomplete skeletons, one art project. At least that's how I'm figuring it. I need to design the bowl and then glue everything down, call it a sculpture and hand it in by the 17th. I'm pretty sure I can pull this off... Just don't mention fish to me, it brings on little waves of nausea that I could really live without.
Today I made an icon. It took 0.5 hours and I'm not totally happy. Course, most of that was spent getting it down from 128 KB. When you have one text phrase dissolving into another and back again that takes up a lot of space, even if it's only 5 frames each way and 5 per text. ;-; But my nails are all pretty [though not perfect and that, of course, bothers me] so all is not lost! And I updated. See, friending me was worth your time... sort of. :] <-- one last constipated smiley to make your day that much brighter.

I never write. I noticed that. I just feel very... uninspired. I'm online just about everyday for at least an hour visiting the same four sites over and over, commenting and refreshing because I'm just an unmotivated little lump of body parts. I'm sure that was one of the worst sentance endings you've ever read, and it had such potential too! ::laments::
We finished reading/"performing" "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in Language Arts yesterday, it was pretty good. Today Mrs. Wilson said that she would have much preferred to have done "Romeo and Juliet" because not only would we all be familiar with the plot but it would have been easier to show the finer points of Shakespeare's writing, and his smutty little mind. Oh, the smut! The sex! The debauchery of it all, I love it. :] <-- constipated man strikes again! ( more school stuff, not quite as interesting. )
It's almost the end of school and it's in the air and everything. I can't to be out. Keeping in touch will be a little more difficult but I'll see most people online or... next fall. I might "entertain", painful as it is for me, since we will be opening the pool tomorrow and I'll feel a bit obligated. Haven't had a birthday party in about 2 years, and my birthday is the tail end of July! Guess that's not real excuse, eh?
Well, this was long. Hope it makes up for the lack of yoli in your lives. XD

Yesterday I saw a low budget local high school production of Arsenic and Old Lace at my high school. I loved it. :] <-- my new constipated smiley. His love has already spread. But seriously, murderous old ladies killing with arsenic? You've so got me. Element 33, none better.
We got more fish today! Mom my insists on having 6 because it's lucky, 6 or 9. Randomly: 666 is a really good number in Chinese culture. My grandfather even paid to get it included in his phone number. Here it's... not so good. But yea. Fish. I choose a demented wiggly swim-with-my-head down fish and my mom chose a bloated belly one that looks like a wannabe puffer fish. <-- It's all in the genes people! It's all good though. They will live. :)
I also went to the eye doctor. My eyes are getting worse. I need to stop abusing computer. ::nods:: I should also do all this end of year school stuff... I get out on the 23rd, am extremely excited. In fact, I could live with not going back Monday....
