I'm miserable.

This weekend was horrible, what with the funeral plans and the picture sorting and the lack of sleep and my confrontational mother and over-concerned father and the possible rift that might happen between my mom and my aunt because my grandmother had everything put in a trust in my mother's name and cut my aunt completely out--I'm exhausted.

And to top that off, I'm sick. Like, fever, sore throat, chills, stuffy nose, loads of mucus (you really wanted to know that, huh?) and dizzyness anytime I attempt to stand up. But still, I'm back on campus and going to class because I can't miss my British Literature class or my grade will go down a whole letter, and the professor already stated at the beginning of the semster that he didn't care if anyone died in the family. In fact, I believe his exact words were, "A lot of grandmother's die in my class."

Asshole.

And on top of all this, I am experiencing the Period From Hell this week, where not only do I get my usual immobilizing cramps, but an unusual sharp pain that causes me to be unable to stand up straight.

I want to go to sleep, and not wake up until this week is over.

But I can't do that. There's still the viewing and funeral this week, and besides, thanks to my headache and sorethroat, I'm having trouble sleeping anyway. So instead, I'll do what I usually do when I'm sick and can't sleep.

Watch cartoons.

Last time it was Gargoyles and I watched it so much that I practically started hallucinating about it. This time its anime: Rurouni Kenshin. I loved that show when it as on Cartoon Network, and loved the manga even more (though I can't afford to buy all of it) so I'm rewatching it. I'm definately watching Rurouni Kenshin and not the Samurai X OVAs though, 'cause everytime I watch them I'm always a blubbering mess by the time I get to Reflections, and that's not exactly what I need right now.

So yay Kenshin and his backward way of talking and forced clumsiness!

Oh, and thank you to everyone who commented with their kind words and wishes. It was nice to read them after that horrible Saturday of pretending that nothing was wrong to my siblings. You guys are awesome. :) Thank you so much.

So, I've stressed many times about how I am not living in the dorms next year. The plan was to get an apartment with my friend Kristen, BUT her current landlord kept pressuring her about whether or not she was going to sign the lease again and because we hadn't looked for apartment yet, she went ahead and signed it, leaving me with no one to live with. (So not cool) I absolutely cannot afford an apartment on my own. So I just filled out this whole roommate apartment search thing on the internet, figuring that was always an option. I tell my friend Jasmine this and she is all like "Oh, like in the movies?"

I ask her if she think I'm going to get some kind of psycho for a roommate and she's all like, "No! It's like a romance! You know, where she accepts a roommate named Ashlee or something thinking its a girl when it turns out to be a guy. And then they fall in love."

So here I am, worrying about a Single White Female experience, and she's going on about romantic comedies.

And I'm the one who reads fanfiction.

In other news, Buffy has officially taken over my brain. Today in my British Literature class we were discussing Petrachian Sonnets, (you know, where there is one guy waxing poetic for fourteen lines about some magnificent woman who doesn't love them back) and the whole time I kept think. "This sounds like it could be about Spike and Buffy." "I can so see Spike saying that about Buffy." "Receiving the man's ardour with disdain? Oh yeah, that's Buffy."

Yup. My brain has been Buffy-fied.

At least I was able to focus on my midterm paper, which was about Chaucer's The Wife of Bath and how the character can actually be seen as a feminitic character when compared to the message in The Miller's Tale. Despite the Middle English, which was hard to plough through before I finally got the hang of it, it was a fun paper to write. Still, I'm glad its done and I can get back to writing some fanfiction. (Taking over my brain, I tell you!) I've got several plot bunnies nagging me. One of which would be a pretty long chapter fic, if I have the courage (and patience ) to write it. I've always been much better at short, flash fiction style works. But still, this bunny will not go away. Poor Anya would absolutely terrified.
