Hi.

I have just remembered, after several months, that I created a blog and then failed to add anything to it. x_x Since school is out for the Summer, now is as good a time as any to start.

I'm not exactly sure how one introducing their self in their own blog. Do I just jump in and tell you the basics? Let's go down that route...

My name is Juliette.  I am a thirty-something college student who is about to enter her 3rd year at a tiny university in the Midwest.  At the moment, I am earning a duel associates degrees in social services and sociology. Next summer, if the planets align in my favor, I will be applying for (and accepted into *crosses fingers*) the BSW (Bachelor of Social Work) program at my school, which is one of the best in the state.  No pressure, right? 😒

I'm wordy.  To an excess.  I use fifteen words when I could easily use three.  But I love words and, even more so, I love writing. Well, I did before attending university, where I was required to take two composition courses, both of which required retaking because of the amazing dullness of writing research papers and my unwillingness to be bothered with each course after midterms. However, I finally fought my way through both Comp I and II (with a B+ and an A, somehow), and my love for writing has returned.

My personals tastes are eclectic, eccentric, and cover a gigantic spectrum.  If something looks good, sounds good, tastes food, smells good, or feels good to me, I'm into it. No label exists for my style but, if asked by a fashion magazine (it'll happen someday, when I'm the first fashion social worker), I will say that it is a delicious, high-proof cocktail consisting of the 1980's, Goth (many flavors), and vintage glamour, with a thin slice of laziness on the rim.

Ok, that's about it for now. Check back in another five months to see if I've added a second blog entry...

Ugh.

I have a 3-second attention span right now, so this isn't going to be long.  I'm having difficulties with the Abilify I started approximately a month ago.  I am constantly restless, unable to focus (even with Adderall), and sleep...lol...what's that?  I haven't gotten a good night's rest in days.  BUT I'm doing well emotionally. Other than being bored because nothing holds my attention, I feel better.  Multiple people are telling me that the Abilify isn't worth the side effect, but I feel that others have the right to make that statement.  I am not ripping people's heads off or screaming every 5 minutes anymore so I'd say that the positive far outweighs the negative.  And if I never wanna sleep again, that's my choice, right? :D  My summer course is over (with a B+!) and now I can breathe for a while.  My focus now (when available) is on Tarot.  I have developed a fascination with card reading.  The Tarot has shown me more than I thought it po

TWIN PEAKS omg.

My most favorite television show has been rebooted and I will admit that I met the news with both excitement and dread.  I hadn't planned on tuning in because I assumed that when they used to the term "rebooted", it meant that the show was being remade. Thank Jesus that, rather than retelling the story, Lynch picked up 25 years after the death of Laura Palmer.  Even better: almost all of the original cast reprise their roles!  I decided to take the leap and watch the premiere tonight. Zero regrets here. The story line for the premiere involves the finding of a dead woman named Ruth Davenport. Well, actually, they found her head in bed with the body of an unidentified male. This death is somehow tied to Agent Cooper's doppelganger, who is due back the Black Lodge now that 25 years have passed.  Agent Cooper is told by the doppelganger of the One-Armed Man's severed arm that, in order for him to return to Earth, his own doppelganger must return to the Black Lodge.
