Normally I am obsessed with one song at a time. Right now, it's three: Dixie Lullaby by Pat Green, Into the Ocean by Blue October, and A Sorta Fairytale by Tori Amos. These are the only songs on my playlist right now. I've been listening to them for three days straight and I can't seem to get enough and even when I'm not at home listening, all three are rolling around my brain.
Does anybody remember that awful TV show whose name I cannot remember where they showed with live actors the four "voices" who lived in some guy's head? If you could see inside mine, you would just hear three songs over and over.
I am a fan of cannolli. Is cannolli the plural or singular form? Are you supposed to use articles when you speak of it? I have no idea how to use it in speech but I like eating them.
I'm reaching for the life within me
How can one man stop his ending?
I thought of just your face
Relaxed and floated into space.
What a beautiful verse.
In other news, I love my job. I'll love it even more when I'm doing it full-time in the spring. I had no idea I would enjoy fixing computers as much as I do. I love being the tech guy at my campus. I get to do cool stuff and I'm learning so much and I have little cuts on my hands from digging around in computer innards, swapping out hard drives and cd drives and motherboards. it's great. Yesterday I was ridiculously happy and Emily told me so but she didn't mind so much. Maybe she doesn't enjoy her job but at least I enjoy mine. What's funny is I work on these computers and I think about surgery, about how right now I am a computer surgeon but someday I will be a people surgeon. They're quite different, of course, but some of the diagnostics are the same, the patterns and connections one is looking are the same.
I met the perfect woman for me but she's already married to some other woman. She thinks I'm cute, though, and I think we could be great friends, so I'm not sweating it.
Finished my precal final tonight and my physics final last night and I will never again work three jobs and take two classes in the same semester. One of my bosses is taking me out to dinner tomorrow night, though, and my physics professor wants me to take the second semester of physics as engineering physics (calculus based instead of algebra based) so I must have done something right the last few months. I have an office!! I rearranged and cleaned it up the past week. I love it. Not enough windows but I can listen to music and I can shut the door and people call me. It's just....something I've never experienced before. I am in great demand. I tell everyone to email me because I won't remember what they tell me and it's true-- I talk to so many people every day about so many different things that I can't keep track of it all. Have I mentioned how much I'm learning? And how much I love my job? Think I might even get my principal a Christmas card and tell her so, tell her thank you for giving me the opportunity and trusting me with so much responsibility.
I am old-- I should have been in bed an hour ago.
