The Ice is Thin, Come On Dive In

You know, there should be an expiration date (say: graduation) for having those nightmares about school.  I had another one of those dreams last night.  I had signed up for advanced algebra, but totally forgot about it until the end of the semester when I got my report card that contained all A's and a big, fat F.

In the dream, I was all, "Why am I still going to school?  Didn't I graduate?"  But I was still majorly bummed about the F.

:(

So that wasn't fun.

Time to meme!

( Day 14 - What is your favorite book pairing? )

Another week begins.  Another week of waiting on pins and needles to hear about potential job interviews/offers.

This sucks.

So meme time!

( Day 12 - Who had the best wedding? )

Only a brief entry for today for a variety of reasons.

( OMG! )

Now onto the shipping meme.  Today's was confusing to me.

( Day 10 - Why aren't these two married in real life? )

Let's get right into it:

( Day 08 - The pairing with the most baggage? )

This Christmas, when asked what  I wanted from my parents, I could only think of one thing.  I wanted a gift certificate to a nice spa.  The stress of not having an actual career, doing an exhausting job search, living at home, and not knowing what the future holds has been building up over the months.  I just wanted some time to be pampered and hopefully take the stress level down a notch or two.

Because my family is awesome, I got a nice gift certificate to a spa in the nearby city.  I called up yesterday and booked a 2 hour massage for this weekend.  It's completely hedonistic of me.

And I haven't stopped feeling guilty about it since.

It's a lovely reward for a person who hasn't really done anything.  I'm trying.  I'm trying really, really hard.  But I still don't have much to show for it.  I know a lot of it is out of my control, but that doesn't change the fact that I feel bad for my lack of success.

Basically, I've done nothing to deserve the pampering and I shouldn't have asked for it in the first place.  Those are my feelings.

Anyway, time to meme!

( Day 06 - The best kiss? )

I'm having so much fun with this meme!  I get to geek out as well as vent some of my frustrations with fandoms (those are coming up in future days).  I also get to dive back into old fandoms and remember what really moved me for a time in my past.

*twirl*

Today is one of my favorites:

( Day 04 - The pairing with the most chemistry? )

Stolen from luxken27 .  I was so intrigued by this when she did it, I wanted to take part.  Now that I have some time on my hands, a new paid account, and the overwhelming desire to meta-meme, here I go!

( Day 01 - What is your current favorite ship? )

Grabbed from, like, my whole friendslist.  I've been wanting to do this for days, but only now have gotten on the computer.  So away we go:

d) Tell you a memory I have of you.
