In other news, holiday depression is rearing its ugly head. This *is* made slightly better by the fact that the guys aren't leaving today after all, meaning the house won't be empty. But still, the holidays have this way of highlighting lonely feelings, which is pretty god-awful when you already have a tendency to feel that way during regular times. And it's also bad when you have a tendency to get sad thoughts stuck in your brain, on continuous loop, for hours on end, unless you find something with which to distract yourself.
Dealing with the way my head works is getting really, really old.
-----------------------
Anyhoo, first (few) line(s) meme, for no apparent reason.:
JAN: Yep, that's my New Year's resolution this year: Learn how to bend time and space. Fo' realz. ;p
FEB: As if I needed another reason to dislike Hillary: Ann Coulter basically endorsed her. (EDIT: Yes, I *know* she said that because she hates McCain. But having Ann Coulter's support, in any form, just makes me love a person that much less.) Eeeuugh. If the presidential race comes down to Hillary vs. McCain, I may throw up.
MAR: OMG SO BUSY. I've been shooting so much these past few days that I feel like my camera should just be permanently grafted to my face. But if I did that, I'd rather it be a 1D Mark III, instead of my wimpy little Rebel XT. I mean, if you're going to be stuck with one camera for the rest of your life, might as well make it the best. Right now, I'd settle for a 5D.
APR: Okay, April. You have exactly 24 hours to become awesome, or else... um... I'll be really mad!
MAY: So I was informed by Sifu that the videographers who taped us the other day are apparently putting some of that footage on TV, and it airs this weekend. I'm grumpy that it'll be footage of me with my sliced-up hand, because I know my wushu wasn't up to par while I had that injury. But still, w00t for being on TV!
JUN: HAY DOODZ. So you know that documentary-style athletic spot I was filmed for? It is now up on YouTube. No, it's not an official commercial (well, I suppose it might be, if it wins the contest he made it for), but it's cool nonetheless! Even though I sound like a dweeb on video. ;p
JUL: Man, I forgot how rough it can be to bike everywhere. I did my normal work commute--which I haven't been doing regularly, b/c I've been short on time and the MAX is faster--yesterday, and then I tacked on an additional 6 miles around the lunch hour, so that made for a total of 15 miles.
AUG: The demo last night was as trying as I imagined it would be. I barely got there on time because I was told the wrong location at first, the beginning was disorganized, and the stage was even smaller than I expected, barely enough room for 5 stretch kicks. No way was spear going to happen, unless I wanted to spear an audience member through the head.
SEP: OMG THANK GOD IT'S OVER. We worked on it every day of this long weekend, but the old house is empty and cleaned up! Not sparkling clean, or anything--I don't expect to get much, if any, of the deposit back, given how incredibly cheap Landlord is about everything--but good enough for government work. ;)
OCT: First, a question: What are you Portlanders doing for Halloween? I had the thought of having a Housewarming Halloween Party, but I wouldn't want to do that if a bunch of y'all are already throwing, or otherwise committed to, other Halloween parties.
NOV: I had a pretty severe bout of depression last week; the last time I could remember feeling that depressed was years ago, during college, before I knew the vast majority of you. I'd thought about writing about it, but I didn't because I was too listless and unmotivated to write it, if that tells you anything.
DEC: Things are coming to mind in bits and snatches, which means it's time for list-y format.
