Decompression is Complete
Let me just start out by saying that I have done absolutely. nothing. all. week. And dammit, I love it!
It's one of those things where you dont truly realize how stressed/tired/angsty/mutated you are until you have some time to step away from it all. I'm sure all of you "non-students" wont want to hear this but since break began my days have involved sleeping in, playing video games, and shopping. Really quite relaxing. I think my vegitative state is about to end as I am starting to feel myself growing guilty over my lazieness. I guess its because over finals weeks there was just so much to do that now that I have free time I have a constant feeling that there is work to be done.
We (as in the lovely shakinros and myself) are flying out to Atlanta early tomorrow. Jess's mom got us plane tockets so we could spend the holidays in GA. I think a part of it stems from "mom needs her babies home" syndrome. Every mom gets it, especially when presented with the chance that her children may not be home for the holidays. When she found out we werent sure what we were doing for Christmas she panicked slightly and got us tickets to GA. I'm not saying this is a bad thing at all, a vacation to GA will be nice. I'm just saying that I think it's because she is realizing that Jess might not be home for every holiday anymore.
Once we return from GA I need to get back into the swing of things school-wise. Sure classes dont begin until Jan 16th but all of my classes start at 8 in the freakin morning, which means I gotta learn to stop going to bed at 4am and sleeping in. Plus there are a few personal projects I want to devote some time to before classes start up again. Will post pictures when I can.
But enough about me, lets talk about me for awhile instead.
Ground Rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "5 Weird Habits of Yours" and people who get tagged need to write an LJ entry about their 5 quirky habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 5 people to be tagged and list their names.
1. Every time I leave the house I lock the door and then turn the handle three times to make sure the door is actually locked. Yes I know I just locked the door. Yes I know that if the door proved to be actually locked on the first turn it will also prove to be locked on the second and third turn. Jessica says she finds it odd but promises to not be concered until the nuber of handle turns increases into the double digits.
2. Whenever I am about to get in the car I have to use the bathroom first. Even if moments before I was fine, the mere mention of "driving time" fills my bladder. It's as if Pavlov removed my bladder one night, trained it to respond to the words "time to go" and put it back in me. This stems from childhood. My mother (who has a knack for seeing doom and destruction everywhere) would always force me to go to the bathroom before we went anywhere. Not because she was concerned I may have an accident. Not because she was concerned with making good time. Because she was concerned that if we got into a serious car accident and I had to pee my bladder would burst, spilling its contents all over my insides and killing me. Who knew urine was so deadly?
3. When I make tea or coffee and stir in milk and sugar I have to clang the spoon on the inside of the cup. This is kind of a family trait as everyone in the Sutton clan does it. When we all get together it's like a out-of-tune chorus.
4. Sometimes I twitch.
5. When I smoke I have the habit of using a blow tube, This is a college invention that doesnt work. I know it doesnt work but I use it to make me feel better. For those who don't know it's basically a cardboard tube with dryer sheets in it. The theory is that if you exhale through it the smoke wont smell. In reality it just makes the room smell like smoke and dryer sheets instead of just smoke. Ander loveingly refers to this tool as the "Wimpy Tube".
Now, I'm tagging daniemeg, pedantic_fool, marklar0128, reikamada, euryale000, Maigo
I've tagged more than 5 seeing as how I am fairly certain some of you won't do this.
