I think I've finally found the right words: I feel like I'm home in Bermuda.

Everything I love about it - the beach, the landscape, the public transportation system, the Easter-egg-colored buildings with their white tiered roofs, the people and their laid-back attitude - it doesn't all completely add up to why I love it so much. Bermuda is more than the sum of its parts.

It's making me feel like I've got a new reason to live. Like it will be a part of the rest of my life, even if I can't live there and can only visit it once in a while.

I'd heard Mark Twain's quote, "You may go to Heaven, I'll stay in Bermuda." It didn't really impact me at first... I mean, yeah, any island paradise would make anybody feel that way. But... by the end of the week, I got it. I really, truly got it. And I suddenly feel a kinship with him that I hadn't before.

Just for perspective, my normal attitude toward the places I've visited (whether it's Florida, Italy, or just Port Aransas, TX) is "That was fun, but I wouldn't want to live there and I'm glad to be home."

I really wasn't expecting to have such a... gush of emotion from this trip. Maybe I'm still just on a vacation-high. But looking at places to stay for the next trip, less than a week after the first? Not normal. For me anyway.

(This was just gonna be another private entry, but eh...what the heck.)

No review from me on the new Star Trek... just know that I LOVE IT.

Though, I do feel like writing about one part that took everyone by surprise (except me... unfortunately I sneaked a look at the IMDb boards before I saw the movie).

( Thoughts on the new Star Trek pairing, its connection to TOS, and why it fills me with glee )

"YAY WE'RE DOOMED!!!"

I had some spiked eggnog in celebration of the end of finals (since it's also the first year I'm "legal" to do so). But honestly, the scotch just ruined it for me.

Sigh. I try and I try to enjoy various forms of alcohol. And I just... can't. :P And I don't like the way it makes me feel. As usual, I'm the opposite of the typical college student.

Me: Why didn't anyone tell me how awesome Invader ZIM was when it was still on TV?!

Everyone: WE DID!!!

Me: .....

Oh well. It's not like my watching it would have kept it from getting canceled. I just.... after reading the scripts and listening to the existing audio recordings, I'm just SO MAD that episodes like "Mopiness of Doom" and "Return of Keef" had to remain unfinished. And... no Invader Dib TV movie! *sniff*

There's no shortage of good fanart, though, which makes me happy.

Have I mentioned lately how much I LOVE my school?

...Guess not, since I've barely posted in months...

Anyway, I just got Macromedia Studio 8 from them for my Multimedia Production class next semester. Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, etc. Almost $1200 worth of software, and I got it for $183. Legally!

Yep, spring semester is gonna be awesome. (Now that my finals are mostly over, it's easier for me to say that I love my school.)

( I had way too much fun with this. )

Man.... why do I have to feel sad every time I listen to this? It's a HAPPY piece!

See, I had never heard it until after I read Emperor Waltz, so the piece has always reminded me of the story named after it - the story that was going to be the END of the series... I'll just never be able to hear the piece without associating it with the story.

there, I managed not to call it a "song" even once! my professors would be so proud.

Okay, now I understand why some critics were less than enthusiastic about this movie. The portrayal of the LA-types hit a little too close to home, eh?

I don't know why I worried. Pixar never fails to stun me.

So for my birthday, I'm gonna go see it again, and drag Brent along with me. Not that I'd have to drag him, but I would if I had to. XD

I... am going to be 20. Eek.

Okay, I need to quit with these needless half-nighters, or I'm going to be pulling the dreaded all-nighters once I start getting real projects to work on.

Am hoping she won't take off too many points for it being only 3 1/2 pages instead of 5. If she does, well, it's my own stupid fault. At least my grammar/spelling and class track record are working in my favor.

My piano performance is over, my paper's done, so I'm pretty much home free. Only 5 class days left...
