--Except I don't live in Cleveland. But anyway.

So my dear Dreamwidth/Livejournal, let me tell you about my adventure in bed bugs. Once upon a time, my mom and I watched this documentary on bed bugs. It scared us. A lot.

I'm always very careful when I go to hotels. I never put shit on the bedspread. I always put my suitcase on a luggage rack. etc. etc. It's been a while since I've been in a hotel anyway so whatever.

Anyway so last night I went to bed and I saw two very tiny bugs crawling around on my sheets. They were almost easy to miss. However, I remember what they looked like, and when I went online to look at pictures, they pretty much matched the pictures of bed bugs. So naturally, I flipped my shit.

So that is my adventure in bed bugs. I called the building manager and the exterminator will come next week to check things out. It's entirely possible it isn't bed bugs, and I hope to god it isn't. Fuck I'd rather they be ticks ridden with Lyme disease. But either way I washed pretty much every article on my mattress. I bought one of those zipper covers for my mattress, but the building manager told me to wait to put it on until after the exterminator checks. So I'll wash everything again then. Oh boy.

Anyway, the good news is that I got invited to audition at a very high-level symphony and I'm really happy about that. Getting in would mean having an extremely secure, comfortable job. I hope to God or whomever that I get in. It's a longshot but whatever.

OKAY UPDATE ON THINGS.... Mostly in the RP front I guess. Well IRL too.

So anyway I'm in Connecticut for the summer, though that may not last because my mom is impossible to live with. I stopped keeping a tally of our fights because they happen all the time. [sadface] So I'll see what happens. But I may just go back to Boston.

I finished my first year of graduate school and have one more year left. I have no idea how my grades are, though the only one I'm worried about is German Post-Romanticism. My lessons and shit are an easy A, though for some unknown reason I got an 87 for the musical I was in. I have no idea why, but I already had a meltdown over that on Plurk so I'll spare that one here. Basically, though, I did really well on the musical so I have no idea why I got an 87. It won't show up on my transcript - it's more for my own personal sanity.

Anyway, RP shit. Uh. So after slightly over two months, I dropped Luceti. The game wasn't the best fit for me, it seems. Well, I mean, it was too big of a game and too fast, and I couldn't keep up with it. I really want to play Chell somewhere, though, so I'll have to find a place for her. Smash only allows two third-party (non-Nintendo) character slots, and those are already filled... And if I could get another slot I'd probably app Terra from FF6. But if, say, they gave like four third-party slots then I'd consider apping Chell. But Whit is also interested in Chell so I wouldn't want to take that from her. Also she does a better job at Chell than I do.

I've considered Amatomnes for both Chell and Terra (mostly because it would be really amusing to see them there) but that game may also be too fast for me, I don't know. I'm already in Smash and Ataraxion, though, and I have no plans of dropping either of those.

In fact, I'm considering apping another character to Ataraxion. The character I have now is an evil sadist, and thus is hard to get involved in events, so I may consider other ones. Like Shadow or Terra from FF6. And then there's Dragon's Haven. I have a reserve for Shadow from FF6 but I may not follow through. I still have to finish replaying the game and write the app. But some cool peeps I used to RP with like four years ago are there, so that would be fun. Maybe.

Oh my god I hardly update anymore and when I do it's all about RP. What is wrong with me...
