Yet More Random Thoughts
It is the last week before finals kick in, and boy howdy, can we feel the stress emanating off of people on campus. Oddly enough, I don't feel that stressed. Sure I got a geology test tonight, and more homework than you can shake a fist at, but for some reason, I have entered my Zen like moments of "This will all be okay." Or perhaps I am just really tired and I don't have a fricking clue what I am talking about. Most likely a combination of both at this point. My friend Steve calls me "Addict" for my need for caffeine. The fact is, I was started on drinking coffee when I was between 3-4, since my grandmother thought I wouldn't like it. I didn't really get into drinking it heavily until my high school years though, and even then it was more of a weekend thing. Nowdays, it tends to be one cup Monday through Friday. It amuses me that someone who calls me an addict is also the person who will down a 2 litre of Diet Coke during a game session. Caffeine is the one vice of mine that I have not been able to kick. I used to smoke pot. Stopped that pretty quick and easily. I used to smoke cloves. Waking up coughing up phlegm and with a sore throat everytime quickly changed my tune. I don't drink alcohol, mostly because I dislike being around people who are drunk (including myself), and also I have a rather low alcohol tolerance and I don't need to poison myself. Addiction to prescription or over the counter drugs? Unless you count the occasional aspirin or a dosage of Dayquil/Nyquil/Pepto Bismol, then my answer is no. And though some might not believe it, I have cut back on my daily regiment of caffeine over the years. I used to be able to drink the entire pot of coffee myself in a day. If I do that nowdays, I get seriously ill. I can no longer drink a 2 litre of soda in one day. I actually like water, a thing I wish I could get Monica to understand, since she ingests enough colored water (tea mostly).
On another random subject, I will be getting my tickets for flying out to California this week (that is, getting my tickets, not actually flying out there this week). No, I have no idea what I will do, since I know several people are running out of town to visit family around Christmas. It looks like Ross might be one of the few people I know who won't be. Only way I can get a hold of Thorn is by dropping by Kinkos, and although I love him dearly, I also wish to shake him by the shoulders and go, "Quit being a silly doodyhead!" Yes, as a matter of fact, I *do* have two X chromosomes, but that hasn't stopped other people from being my friend because I am *gasp* a female. Nah, I will just shake Thorn anyway for not writing me a letter like he said he would. Through Thorn, I can get a hold of people like Buddha and Steve, and possibly Louis. Monica pretty much has set up camp at Ross' house, so I will probably see her and Tom at least some of the time I am out there. Not sure if Shawn and Rachel will be going up to Redding or not. I will end up doing the obligatory hanging out with my mom, but I don't know if I will see my siblings in the process. Jason is back to being odd again, but in a "I love you all!" mood. Which is infinitely better than him being a fuckhead. Isaac still wants to see if he can get me down to Carlsbad to see my grandmother, but I know that is going to be expensive this time of the year, and I sure as hell do not want to drive all the way down to San Diego.
Back to my original random thought...I haven't had coffee today, and I feel the sudden urge for some.
