one more miracle

Yay new layout! *beams* Right now it's just a basic layout directly from coding by refuted (and a gorgeous layout it is!) but I have plans to make a Panic! header and possibly change the color scheme. But for now I think it looks lovely! I always get tired of dark layouts, so this is a wonderful refreshing change from the last one. Sorry, Danny and Rusty my loves! You are not forgotten! But it is time to move on. :)

What I find funny - in the tag cloud on the sidebar, I have about a TRILLION (I need to have more of a system, I know) and most of them are tiny, with a few (like college) being a bit more prominent, but then SUPERNATURAL is SO HUGE it can't even FIT in the sidebar!!! I find this hilarious. Oh me.

But yes! Go see the shiny! All the new words (journal title, subtitle, comment links, mood and music) are lyrics from Panic!'s song Camisado, because it pwns me. Oh Ryan Ross.

And for today's dose of Panic! adorable, we have...

LOOK AT THEM OMG. Spencer's SMILE! They ALL look SO HAPPY, even Ryro! And JWalk is killing me with adorable! And they have a Moonman! And pretty much I love them forever and ever the end *beams*

Well that was a productive (if sweaty! it's SO HOT AND HUMID, ugggh) errand trip! I got a tank of gas (only 2.65 a gallon! That's the best I've seen in... well, since long before I had a car!), a birthday present for my friend Rob (The Dangerous Book For Boys - it looks fun :D), birthday card and wrapping paper, a book for myself (The Canon by Natalie Angier, I can't wait to read it), pork tenderloin for dinner, and various and sundry groceries to tide me over for the next four days (!!!) before I leave. Woohoo! \o/

Here's your daily dose of Panic! adorable. Look at their wee faces! I just want to pinch Brendon's cheeks, and play with all their hair, and lick right in the vee of Ryan's tshirt... :D And for once Jon and Spencer are doing the touching! You go boys! <3

*jitters*

So my journal has been waylaid by bandslash this week, but that's mostly because I am desperately using it as my HAPPY PLACE since.... duh duh duhhhh.... today is poster session day!

MEEP.

So here's the thing. There's about, oh, 25 students doing summer chemistry projects, and today they're all going to be presenting posters on their work. They'll be up in the hallway (mine's already up \o/) and fellow students and chemistry professors are going to be wandering around for an hour, reading posters and asking questions.

That's right. Professors.

For the most part this is okay. Most of the chem professors are very sweet ladies and gents, and I'm sure they'll just be curious and asking questions I can answer just with my experience this summer.

BUT THEN THERE'S DR. MEHL.

So Dr. Mehl. He's youngish (about 30?), very hot, and terrifying. No really. He's kind of an arrogant bastard, absolutely brilliant, and whenever he talks to you he gets that nice hint of condescension in his voice that makes you want to grovel and say YES I AM JUST A STUPID UNDERGRAD, FORGIVE ME MY SINS. I actually asked my professor if we should be nervous about today, and he was like "No no it will be fine! They won't grill you! Well, Dr. Mehl may try to test you on your background knowledge, but THE REST WILL BE FINE." And I was like O.O Can I plz hide under a rock??? *hides face*

So yes. I'm very much scared of him. Hopefully he'll just give my poster a bored cursory look and wander away, but I'm afraid that's too much to wish for. My stomach's starting to do that flippy floppy nervous thing (though that might partially be the coffee... it does funny things to my tummy) and and um. *hides under a rock*

Oh the PLUS side, my poster is totally the prettiest Thai boy in the brothel. I put all my graphic design skillz to use and made it very clean and aesthetically pleasing, and I think it contains a good deal more information than the other posters I've seen. I'm very proud of it and hope I will not be crushed by the scary Dr. Mehl!

Speaking of pretty brothel boys:

OH RYRO. *puts him in my pocket*
