Long Update But I Post Constantly
So I'm leaving at 1.45 today because I can, so that's about an hour and ten minutes of class so I can try super hard to keep occupied with menial stuff so i dont have to real work. :)
Yay for missing Psych! And yay for OCL with Rach and Char and Wendy. It was odd cuz I've never felt so stereotypically teenage than when i'm with that group. they dress consciously, rather than for fun, and they link into pairs and pressure each other to do things like they cant have an independent choice lest they risk being unfair or mean to the group. We're just different, I guess, but I still like hanging out with them.
I think I need to let go of the concept of OCL every day. I still want to leave everyday even if i dont want food outside of my home lunch. I just like getting out i guess. I like the music and i like pulling out onton Braddock without that traffic guard being there and without passing a line of cars with freakish parents waiting to pick up their kids .
Learned a bunch of new things in Russian, and this may sounds weird but I wish she'd given us some way to apply the new words. I know it wont stick unless i use it, and i liked the wksheet's she used to give us, cuz they were always funny. Dyeavooshka: Hello, it is pleasing to me to meet you!
Chelovyeak: Hey, it pleases me, too.
D: Where are your friends?
C: I do not have friends.
D: Goodbye.
C: Goodbye.
I want to buy language books for kids learning english. I do have an "easy english" packet for young russian kids and it's awesome, but mostly in english with silly and weirdly associated vocabulary. However, I will know where to look if I need to say "rotten rabbit stew".
Attempting to be ready for sleep (and that implies actually being sleepy) by 8 pm tonight, so I'll have a lovely 7.5 hours for tomorrow. And maybe if I time my meds wrong I'll be asleep by 6 or 7! Although, that's just wishful thinking.
Sometimes i dont understand people, and myself included. I keep seeing the following reaction: a person does something not intentionally funny---> someone finds it funny---> the person repeats it---> the audience hasn't the heart to inform them that it's no longer funny so they pretends it's semi funny---> the person repeats again with more enthusiasm trying to regain the hilarity achieved in first reiteration.
I wonder if our entire lives can be sculpted into a series of equations. If we can condense our academic worth into a college application, surely with enough dedication we can reduce our entire personalities into neat packages. So to understand someone, all you have to do is read their abstract. And if you really care about them you might even read their entire portfolio. Wow, how dating would evolve.
Kinda growing nervous about Emory. I get all frantic but I'm also using tomorrow as a reason for my excitement!
YAY for 15 hours until I get up to leave AND about 19 hours until I get to see Gordon!
Finally broke through akward barrier with Colin online. It was prolly me cuz I'm just not used to AIM, but then for some reason I felt like it and then chatted with Mary and Eata which made me all warmed up (since we actually had something to talk about) and then I actually came up with CONVERSATION when he aimed me. That sounds fucked up. When you AIMed me last night... remember when you and i had that AIM convo?...on AIM last night... oh weirdness.
how come labeling companies seem to think they should label their products differently when the holiday season approaches? I figure it just means we'll be drinking holiday cokes until february. And Holiday Spice Pepsi? Part of me thinks it'll be so foul i better not try it and the other part of me wants to try it in case it's foul or good. I also don't understand the idea of replacing all milk with eggnog in december. eggnog lattes, eggnog fraps, eggnog cakes, eggnog pastries, eggnog icing... i mean eggnog has it's place and time but unfortunately everywhere and anytime are not the answers! For me, personally, i think eggnog is one of the few things that tastes much better low-fat. it's crazy rich when it's all "real" but the skim versions are just like spiced milk, which is nice and warming, instead of coating your mouth and throat with globules of congealing dairy product.
I am a fruit cake virgin.
Rach F kept dissing people who were playing soccer at lunch and i just didnt get it. I mean, it's like recess, she kept saying. i think it looked like fun, and if i wasn't already planned to go to ocl, then i would have taken matt up on his offer to play. now true that i dont know how to play, really, but neither did phil so i bet it would have been a sweaty fun time. i guess the weather wasn't that perfect but since when do you have to have perfect weather to play a sport for fun? what about tag football in the insane humidity? what about tackle-ball right after it's rained so we get all muddy? what about our fake baseball in the rain, so you can't see the ball really well? okay that game never lasts long, and really has only been played the one time but it still counts! I did try to play basketball with nicole and tom in the rain but the ball kept getting muddy and then our hands got gross and the bottom inches of our pants got soaked and we couldn't look up at our shots cuz the rain was... raining.
On the back of the letter jackets jefferson is written like a crazy rainbow. for some reason it looks like a frowning face to me. how creepy. also, there is one just to the left of me, and i keeps catching my periferal vision.
Some guy's program is about 8K lines and took 7 seconds to compile. the one next to him has about 500 lines and it took 23 minutes. isn't the cray supposed to speed things up? i bunch of our servers are down, but i thought john spent all of yesterday fixing that?
Mrs. Sandstrom lost my essay for the contest.
Mrs. Sandstrom lost my essay for the contest.
My essay was lost.
It sucks cuz i thought i actualy answered the question well, or at least reasonably... alas. i hope it shows up. :(
There's this song that i can't find. i mean i have it on a cd, but i have no idea who sings it and the internet cant find lyrics that match up which most likely means i'm mishearing them in the first place:
"your eyes are small.
you'll never make everyone love your hometown.
the curtain call,
dont forget not to drop your head down,
cuz they'll wanna see your eyes
and they'll wanna see surprise in them.
someday, i will draw the line,
and try and catch you disappointed.
same guy, sparing different rhymes,
i'll try and catch you disappointed.
i tried so hard to get every single word out
that my tongue carved little scars in the roof of my mouth
and i thought i tasted blood but you convinced me otherwise"
im definiatlly on a punk rock kick. :) i think i was on a hip hop kick for a while, and country before that, but it's punk rock now. or least this one cd. with my mysterious song! and brand new.
My nose gets really cold in the lab. 12-squared, i say. I wonder how everyone would react if i bopped them on the head with my empty coke bottle. and how come all of these guys have pants that are too short, shirts that are waaay oversized and elastic waistbands or ankle bands. or a ponytail. well, that's just me and matt but neither of us are wearing elastic waists, short pants, or oversized shirts.
TMI: When i woke up this morning, i decided to take a shower which was nice but then i realized as i dried off that this meant that i had to put a bra on, which at the time i deemed unacceptable. So i grabbed one in case things got desperate (you never can tell, you know, especially if i did end up playing soccer) and there is sat in my passenger seat as char and rach and wendy hopped into my car for ocl. that was a funny story. i can't be the only one that sometimes gets sick of bras. i mean, i can't just no wear one now. i could get away with that before but now you can see my... breast shape through my shirt and the nipple factor is always controversial.
I'm so totally shutting up. I did waste a lovely 30 min on this update. I can waste another 40 min with loooong ass "bathroom" trips and text twist. That kinda rhymed. :)
I'll see you soon, Gordo!
