Er.
...The reason I haven't posted for almost an entire week as because I have been abducted by aliens who only recently decided to let me back home. And as much as this explanation sucks, it's the best excuse I'm allowed to have because there is no fucking way I can redeem having been away for so damn long. I mean, it wasn't even the weekend. The only thing that might qualify was my autoethnography paper, which was due this Thurday.
I'm not posting it here, though, because I don't like it that much and it might offend various peoples. Not that said peoples are likely to find it, but I'm not going to take that risk. Maybe when I rewrite it some and get more comfortable with the content, I'll put it up.
Updates on my life:
Tuesday night rocked. We watched Paprika in Otaku club, which was an awesome, awesome movie. After the movie ended, I was grinning so hard I thought my face would split, for at least five minutes straight. Which is a long time when you're stretching your facial muscles like that...but that is one movie everybody has got to watch. It didn't end there, though - afterwards, Steve and Arwen did judo again, and I was referee again (we'd previously done this last Saturday), and the three of us alternatively did judo and talked on the lawn in front of Arwen's dorm until freakin' three in the morning. A little late, but quite a great night. Steve showed us a damn funny
Mario Frustration clip on Youtube, too - I had to turn away, holding my stomach because it hurt, I was laughing so much.
Wednesday we ran a timed mile. Mine was 7:41...hell yeah, bitches! (This get extra kudos as I got four hours of sleep the night before; see above, duh.) And I felt good enough to job a good 9 minutes straight afterwards, too.
Thursday kinda sucked because of the paper due; I was very late (again) to volunteering. It got better in the afternoon, though: I met up with Ashlie and we sent to UMall together to get coke (for her) and return/buy things (for me). I got a very nice (but rather thin) black sweatpants-style pants, solution for my contacts, and on the way back we found a Halloween shop that had elbow-length black gloves! Tobi, I am making progress!
Friday sucked too. You know, now that I think about it...this week, with the exception of Tuesday and that one bit Wednesday and the part with Ashlie, wasn't that great. I actually didn't go to my math class this morning in favor of finishing my homework...which is a bad idea, people. Bad idea. I will have to read the new section we covered very carefully, now...
