Could it be?
I now have enough surveys done that i can start writing my soon to be god awful paper? which would mean things are going right for once?
We shall see.
In other news, my parents are retileing the floors in my house and as of yet the only refuge is my room, and even then it isnt much of a refuge since the last few weeks have allowed it degrade into a strange and otherworldly mess. Ah well, at least now i can concentrate on work with no computer or tv. I actually enjoyed yesterday, cuz i ended up reading and I felt very much like i did back when i was a kid and chose reading over tv...before the interweb and her venemous claws snatched me into roaming the anonymous chat rooms and "social" networking sites. These last few days have taught me something...though humans can be messy unpredictable creatures they are a hell of a lot more fun than a facelesschat window. Do get me wrong the interweb has some benefits, but in terms of human contact it is lacking. The wonders of sarcasm, jokes and facial expressions are meaningless and even laughter has been prescribed to a simple logo, the dreaded, l-o-l, and all her manifestations. When chatting I often find myself using it as a place filler, because quite frankly I'm not even laughing out loud, maybe just grinning or lifting the corner of my mouth in a Billy Idolesque smirk. but there is no true laughing, then again, i dont laugh out loud a whole lot, mostly because, according to my brother i have what one may call a false laugh. It sounds like im being sarcastic and apparently this is offputting...
I think this summer I will reserve my surfing to mere email checks and spend the rest of it reading, going out with no particular plan, hell even calling people just to hear their voice. well cant think of that now, a final paper awaits...
We shall see.
