Has anyone else been getting weird spam? I keep getting weird little one-line comments like "wtf?" and "Just joined LJ" from different journals, all of which use the same theme and have similar posts: all music and video download links. (For example, w1nnie73.) Since they're all coming from different users I can't just ban the person doing it, but it's obvious spam. It's annoying me.

In other news, I am avoiding doing homework by reading all the crap posted over the last two days (since I fell asleep at 5 pm yesterday and thus skipped a day of internetting). My American Women Writers professor totally thinks she's doing us a favor by having us do weekly 2 page journals instead of one big paper, but it's actually MUCH more stressful, since I have to a) remember to frigging do it every week, b) come up with a new topic every week with no prompt, and c) keeping it to two measly pages is way harder than writing a full 5-10 page paper.

Also re: academia, I was planning to attempt grad school directly after getting my bachelor's, but fuck. After six years (yes, six--I spent a long time in community college) of college I'm really, really tired and burnt out. Right now I'm a big ball of stress about the GRE and getting recommendations and figuring out where I should go and applying, on top of just being stressed and tired about school in general, and just, ugh. I'm hoping I can take a year off or so without losing my momentum.

So, since I last posted, OMG THOSE ADORABLE DORKS GOT MARRIED. I have lots of FEELINGS on marriage in general, and I'm really kind of 0_o at Pete being like, "yeah, I gave her a promise ring four months ago, so we've been planning this for a while," because okay, kids, you've been engaged for four months, and only dating for a YEAR, really, with all the weirdness at the beginning of your relationship--seriously, celebrities and their fast-forward relationships. I totally blame the media for being like, "do we hear wedding bells?" when celebrity couples have been dating for a month--and so them getting married so fast makes me nervous for them, BUT. The thing is, they're adorable and they love each other a lot and they're so fucking cute and happy together and judging from Pete's blogs and his general happiness, they're actually stable together and have been for a while, and really, when they started dating even people who liked Ashlee didn't really think it would last, given, you know, Michelle and Lindsay and Rumer Willis and whoever else, AND YET. So I'm ignoring my general issues with marriage and my 0_o feelings about them getting married after a year in favor of reveling in their adorableness because for whatever reason, those two crazy dorkfaces are making it work. I BELIEVE IN THEIR LOVE, KIDS. *g* Also their wedding was Alice in Wonderland themed, which makes me squeal with glee. (Seriously, ask Telis about my HORROR at her never having seen Alice in Wonderland. We had to do an immediate Best Buy trip to buy the movie and watch it.)

Anyway, judging from my rambliness and overuse of caps, it's probably time to do my stupid homework and go to bed.
