Okay, so I’ve been neglecting this for a while. I don’t know why. I just haven’t been in the mood to update.

So. The little gathering was pretty fabulous and retarded. Tyler, Cam, Allie, Sarika and Jesus came over and we just… chilled. We watched some random shit on the computer and then moved to the TV. I think we watched some Reign of Fire for a little while. And we played Jenga (THIS. IS. JENGAAAAA.) and I made dinner and we ate and… yeah. :P It wasn’t really an activity intensive night. We just kinda did whatever. Cam and Jesus ended up playing some Age of Empires 2 while I tried to set up some Internet for Tyler’s laptop (I finally gave in. He was getting too annoying. :P) and Sarika chilled on the bike and did Sarika things. XP Anyway. That’s my story.

I don’t really remember what happened after that. Um. OH YEAH. I studied Monday and Tuesday and then took my last exam Wednesday morning. It went well enough, I think. I got my mark back for Anthro and I passed. HURRAY PASSED ANTHRO YAYAYAYAY FUCK YOU DODS :D. And then I worked that night. :P

Thursday I didn’t do anything but relax and chill on the computer and play some Chrono Trigger ’cause I’m cool. Yesterday, Craig came over and we… went to get the ice cream cake. XD IT WAS EPIC. We also bought some mushrooms. And rented Pursuit of Happyness, which I will watch after work tonight. When we got home, we watched Children of Men and Puppet Master and then a couple Bleach episodes and two Naruto episodes. I think. So I am officially caught up. Then, in a moment of spontaneity, we went to see Hot Fuzz, in which we got in for free because Deborah Lynn was working box office and let us in. =]

So that’s the past weekish in a nutshell. I have to work 1:30-9 today. 9-4 tomorrow. Woo. T-minus three days until Steph’s party and counting. Good times will be had.

Craig’s probably coming over again tomorrow and we’re gonna watch more shit ’cause we’re cool. And eat more ice cream cake. =] IF ANYONE WANTS TO COME OVER TO MY PLACE AT 4:30 TOMORROW, COME OVER. YOU CAN WATCH MOVIES WITH US AND EAT ICE CREAM CAKE. SRSLY. COME OVER IF YOU WANT TO. (coughcoughSarikaandTylerandStephandAllieandCamifyoudon’thaveanyhomeworkcough).

Too much? Nah. :P

Anyway. That’s all.

I PROMISE I WILL POST IN THE RPs, TYLER. I PROMISE.

[12:05am]

Fucking exhausted.

Hate my job.

The end.

Internet was dead until 3:30 today. D:



A Personification of Injustice
April 23, 2007, 2:44 am
Filed under: General, Vagabonding

There wasn’t much to Jack. Average height, average build, average appearance. Though his uncharacteristically long hair defied the average mold he seemed to trip into. Jack wasn’t very smart, but he wasn’t stupid. He could tell right from wrong, he knew all his times tables by heart, though he couldn’t understand what all the different sizes and drinks at Starbucks were. But being so average, Starbucks wasn’t a very pressing concern for him.

Sometimes Jack would gallivant in the streets, celebrating meaningless occasions, such as the weatherman’s favorable prediction of a partly cloudy weekend with an 80% chance of showers and mild thunderstorms. It didn’t matter so much what the outcome would actually be, rather, it was the anticipation that drove him to dazzling street antics. He could plan his entire life to fit around the perfect weekend and have a sensational time doing it. And when the weekend finally arrived, he’d spend most of it sprawled on his bed, staring at the ceiling fan as it spins lethargically and listening to the sloppy spattering of rain on his windows, feeling far from satisfied.

Then Jack would think. Nothing too deep and worldly, but deep enough for his own life. After all, it was bad enough that he wouldn’t be enjoying his sought after weekend- to fill it with thoughts too far beyond his control was an aneurysm waiting to happen. Instead, he’d think of the little things. The things he found not as significant, though they might have been. And this is how Jack spent every anticipated perfect occasion.

Unfortunately for Jack, this meant he thought a lot. He thought a lot about the things around him. He thought a lot about the people around him. He thought a lot about the concepts around him.

And just then, a scruffy little bird took residence on his window sill. It wasn’t an impressive looking bird. It wasn’t large with beautiful plumes and a proud chest. If anything, it looked like the avian equivalent to a human hobo. For a long moment, the bird and Jack merely stared at each other, Jack wondering why such a small bird was flying in such dreary weather, the bird wondering why such an odd looking man creature was staring at it without so much as blinking. Jack had a lot of question for the tiny creature. He was even willing to tell it some of his feelings- it looked so decrepit and lonely.

And then, the small bird ruffled its feathers with its beak and flew off into the rain again.

Jack lost his chance to tell the bird what was on his mind. The bird gave up its chance to attempt interspecies communication.

And Jack had to live with the unexpected interruption in his unsatisfactory, expected paradise. And when he realized he was back to no one to tell his secrets to, he went back to his bed, sprawled about and set his gaze upon the ceiling fan. But the ceiling fan was far from adequate now.

And there was nothing Jack could do about it.

Poor Sheepies.

In slightly happier news, it appears that someone has donated two goats to my neighbor (yes, these ones are actually goats, not sheep). Poor Ester doesn’t want to be near them, though.

[7:10pm]

I did it again. Goddammit, Dawn. Stop it. Stop. Now.



Sad news to report, guys.

Although, some of you may already know this: a cougar ate 4 out of my 5 sheep neighbors. :( both of the lambs and two of the ewes (including one that was pregnant) were killed/eaten Wednesday night. So poor Ester’s just a lone sheep. :(

In other news…

ATTN: EVERYONE
Gathering at my place: 1:30pm, Sunday, April 22nd, to celebrate Craig’s… being here. This mainly goes out to Tyler, Nick, Sarika and Steph, as I’ll have talked to everyone else probably in person. LEMME KNOW IF YOU CAN COME.

[6:29pm]

I have to stop jumping to conclusions. Seriously. More often than not, I’m just setting myself up for disappointment. I hate that. I need to be more objective (says the heartless one). Sigh.

I’ve been avoiding updating this lately… just because? I don’t really have a good reason. I just haven’t felt like it, or haven’t felt like taking the time to do it. I’unno.

Allie brought DDR over today. Let’s just say it was lots of good times. XD

I’ve downloaded a lot of music. :o

Umm my first two exams were alright. I’m fairly sure I passed both (or at least got over 30%, which is all I needed). Two more to go! And they’re English exams, which makes them spiffy ’cause they’ll be a piece of cake.

Ummm. I don’t think there’s much else to say. Craig’s in town, he was over Tuesday afternoon, spent the night, and we hung out Wednesday until I had to go to work. And uh. Well that’s it, I suppose.

Yeah my life’s exciting, guyz.

In closing, I give you a voice clip typed up. XD

 This neighborhood that I’ve lived in now for like, a year and a half, is weird. Recently, we’ve got like six people who’ve run into the mailbox randomly, like the mailbox never existed. And now? There’s a person, who we don’t know, mowing our front yard. We don’t know this person, we’ve never talked to this person, and they’re mowing our front yard like it’s their yard. So… I went outside to go talk to him to see why he’s in our yard mowing it. I did not understand a single word he was saying, he was barking at me! Literally, he was barking at me! And I didn’t understand what the hell he was saying, he was like RARRARARARAR, I was like, “Okay calm down now, I’m just trying to understand something- why are you in my yard? Please leave. Please? You’re kind of scaring me.”

Fuck you. Seriously.

Gerri (4:24:01 PM): it’s okay, i wish you were a man though, i’d totally date you.

Sometimes, the simple things make me feel better. :)

[10:30pm]

I love Gerri. Gerri. I love you. <3

Family: a married or common-law couple with or without children OR a single parent with dependent children.

What an awful definition for “family”. Friggin’ Anthropology.

Have almost gotten halfway in my studying endeavors for Anthro. I’m just typing up those notes I got from Steph (DOES ANYONE WANT THEM?), then I’m going to go over them again. I’m making pretty good time. The notes are far superior to Dods’.

Anyway. Back to doing that.

[9:15pm]

Je veux l’aider. Qu’est-ce que je peux faire?

Last day of classes :D I should be a little happier, but the dread of impending finals kind of takes away most of the joy.

The last History midterm sucked balls. The questions he asks are unfair. But, according to my calculations, it was pretty much impossible for me to FAIL History. I just won’t pass well. But y’know what? It doesn’t matter. Because I don’t need more History. I just needed its credits.

Today, I am not going to do any studying. I am going to relax. I am going to sit on my ass and eat popcorn. I am going to have conversations with my friends. I am going to blare music through my headphones.

Shake it, shake shake shake it, shake shake shake it.

Nate: I’mma slap the baby when it’s out for messing up my baby’s love box.

XDXD



Houses of Cards

Is a very melancholic song. I was going to say sad, but it’s not really sad. Or depressing. Just. Melancholic.

I sucked on my History essay. But whatever. I don’t care anymore. I don’t care about a lot of things anymore. Most of them being important things. /wrists

Dods, despite promising she’d post our essay marks today, still hasn’t done it. Got my hopes up for nothing.

It’s really cold in here at night.

Contrary to other nights, there is no one online to talk to aside from Sarika. High five, Sarks.

My chocolate egg foil ball has grown in epic proportions. Kinda makes me feel fat. XD MAN AHM HUGE.

Nothin’ else to say.

Spoo.

Collapsing like houses of cards
And landing on splinters and glass.
They crush your heart
But spare your feet
Like judging people
You’ve yet to meet.
Well, time is running fast
Upon your reflection.

Trust me now.
