fredericks: (Being Veep is hard work *snore*)
[personal profile] fredericks
I'm cold but still I wait.
Being cryptic while utilizing bad English is the new sliced bread.

I've finally found a pair of earphones long enough to run from the back of my PC to my seat (thank you, Comic-Con freebie!), and so I'm listening to my stash of downloaded/HD saved music for the first time in months. The selection's not too hot but there are occasional treasures to be found, treasures buried so deep I've yet to find them. My taste is fairly generic and mainstream, but I like what I like.

5 AM found me on the corner waiting for the bus, sleepy as all hell. 7 PM finds me parked in front of my PC *still* sleepy as all hell. I think I was insulted in Spanish and Cantonese by two different little old ladies during my rotation this morning. Joy. In Psych you don't have to worry about verbal assaults so much as the physical ones, and those I can handle. Odd, perhaps, but true. I want to fast-forward to the part where I have my own practice already; delayed gratification has never been my strong-suit.

The interesting part of my day came during pre-conference, when my instructor asked me (in front of my fellow students) whether I enjoyed the Med-Surg rotation. I toyed with lying for a second but decided to be honest, and chalked it up to getting bored way before it was time to leave for post-conference. I then compared Med-Surg to Psych, sharing with everyone how much I enjoyed my time over there. Most of them vocalized their dislike with Psych, and then I was told by my classmates that I have the "right temperment" for Psych work. I'm trying to figure out what exactly they meant by that.

ETA - Doesn't it seem that LJ has had an incredibly large growth spurt, as seen by number of journals? There was something like a one million count increase over... six months? I feel certain there's one angsty teenager out there with a good number of those journals.

Hah! I'm truly imagining one teenager with like 200 journals. I think I have two - one that I posted in 3 times during my senior year in highschool and then promptly forgot about, and the one I have now.

"One journal is not enough...to contain my pain!" ::cues up some really emo band equivalent to Morrissey although not Morrissey because he/she has better taste than that::

I had...two, no three. One I made right after a miserable break up but it got no action but I really liked the username. I think I might have deleted it. Another one I completely can't remember the username. It was something really idiotic and heavily influenced by a late night listening session to tons of Depeche Mode while smashed on Sam Adams though. Pssh. I *am* one of those angsty teens I bitched about.

You know, I've started watching Grey's Anatomy, and I always think of you.

.....

That sounds obsessive, doesn't it? I mean it in a non-freaky way.

It doesn't sound obsessive. Whenever I listen to AFI (which I do all too frequently; I really like "Sing the Sorrow") I think of you. THAT may sound a little obsessive, but I don't care. It's your fault for getting me addicted. *grin*

Do you like Grey's Anatomy?

You know, I have a tendency to not like medical dramas. I was attached to House for a while, but then got completely turned off when the doctors were all using HIV and AIDS interchangably. Grey's Anatomy...I do like. I'm not sure how accurate to the profession it is, but I like it. Or maybe I'm just obsessed with George.

What are your opinions on it? They'd count more than mine, anyhow.

I don't really like medical dramas. Before I started nursing school I didn't like the way there was always a crisis every week, and now that I'm in nursing school I don't like the way nurses roles are ignored. I've only seen one episode of Grey's and I found it too quirky for my own good. I chuckled a bit at the blatant medical misinfo, and ultimately found it impossible to sit back and take everything in. It has some lovely love triangles, though. If I was into that sort of show I think I'd like it. I just prefer "real life" medical stuff like Life in the ER and Trauma, that's all.

Ah. Understandable. I'm just so uninformed medically that I don't even notice they're in a hospital most of the time. LOL. I think I'm just caught up in the storylines moreso than the medical stuffs. I like it more than House, though. House bothers me.

I'm a dork - I have 2 journals. One where I have a few of my close friends from college friended so we can all stay in touch even though we've spread. That one is quite boring - "today I had a great sandwich" kind of stuff. Not that this journal is so well written and deep, but I feel more comfortable complaining, fanning and sharing intimate things with a load of people I don't know that I do with many friends. So, the rule is no "real life" people on livia_daemon.

*grin* You know, I wonder how many people just have one journal? Or how many people had created other journals and then forgotten about them? I also had a couple floating around. I just found it weird that LJ is growing so close to 10 million created journals so fast.

And I'm with you on the "no real life people". None of my offline friends know about this journal. I'd end up censoring myself more than I sometimes find myself doing, and that'd defeat the initial purpose of this lil' slice of web.

If you open your own practice, can I come work for you? *grin*

Of course you can! However, I doubt you'd want to wait 6 or 7 years (minimum) to do that. :)

Yay! I'll probably be sick of this job by that time. :P

One more thing...

I almost forgot to ask you! I'll be in NYC on Saturday, April 8 to see RENT (I'll actually be there this Sunday, too, but it's to meet my aunt and uncle who will be up from Florida), so I was wondering if you wanted to meet up somewhere prior to the show. It starts at 2, so name the time and place and we can finally meet up, if you'd like. (:

Uber-cool! We can meet up around Times Square somewhere. I'll e-mail you in a few so we can hammer out details. :)

I thought it was you, anonymous stranger. You're so busted.

I think the growth spurt had to do with the fact that LJ used to be INVITE ONLY, or paid membership, and now is open to all....still am not sure which I prefer...kinda used to feel like I was part of a club.

Heh. I remember when I found out it had stopped being invite only I was peeved. I worked hard for my invitation, dammit.
You might be onto something, though.
