batskeetsYeah, I'm doing this because ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
marykae just did one. And also because I'm actually done with all the work I planned to do tonight! Huzzah!
However, since I'm apparently Princess Rambly McWordypants, I'll give the opening snippet for each post and link to the rest of each post. Also, I'm omitting 1999 because that was back in the day, when I essentially used LJ as a spectacularly boring version of Twitter.
Also, this reminds me that I miss my old habit of titling my posts with random quotes.
03/10/2010 - Over It
GOD. I have so much to say and I don't even know where to start.
I guess I'll start with this: the past 5 days have been exactly what I needed. After all the chaos, internally and externally, I feel like I've found my center again. I gained insight from words I didn't expect to hear, and I found inspiration in places I wouldn't have thought to look. (more...)
09/09/2009 - What PAX Did For Me
As y'all probably know, I spent a large part of this past weekend attending my very first Penny Arcade Expo, affectionately known as PAX. A couple of my amazing friends had asked me about going to the convention a couple months back, and when I realized I'd have some extra money kicking around, I spontaneously decided to join them for the weekend. (more...)
09/09/2009 - Con Crud
It seems that literally ALL of my friends who went to PAX--whether they were in my group, or doing completely separate things the entire time--now have the flu. There are even reports of PAX attendees who have been confirmed as carrying H1N1, but whatever it is, it's a pretty nasty flu, be it Swine or otherwise. (more...)
09/09/2008 - Stress
The massage was great yesterday. I don't feel 100% today, but I do feel better.
I'm still not sleeping great, though, and I sometimes catch myself doing the clenchy-jaw thing when I'm trying to fall asleep, so I'm guessing it's some kind of residual stress. Normally, when I get so stressed out that I feel the need to be nice to myself, I go have some comforting food. Usually something exceedingly bad for me, like pizza, or a piece of cake from New Seasons. I haven't really been able to DO that over the past couple of weeks, though, because I'm trying to eat clean. Gah! (more...)
09/10/2007 - Flipping Out!
I had a dream last night where I was busting out backflips all over the place. I was in a big outdoor tennis court sort of area, except that the entire ground was covered in soft mats. I crashed on my knees the first couple of times, but after that, I was just hopping around the whole place going flip, flip, flip... (more...)
09/08/2006 - Drive-By
Hey, Star Trek is 40 years old today!
Did wushu again last night, and lordy, I am soooore from training. I know I keep saying that. I know I keep making it worse because I keep training through it. But damn, I am sore. I think my hamstrings are holding up better than they usually do, but it might only seem that way because my calves are killing me. ;p I'm still afraid of jumps, but they're getting better, slowly. I'll do better when I'm not so sore. (more...)
09/09/2005 - Drive-By
Well, my Perfect Week seems to have taken a turn for the worse--I had a late, kind-of-rough night last night, and then I overslept by three HOURS this morning! WHAT THE CRAP, MAN?! :p
Still, even with that, this has been a really good week. I've been in a good enough mood that even my normal routine seems extraordinarily great. Somehow, the groggy feeling I'm currently experiencing isn't bringing me down, and I'm talking a lot and it's weird.
I feel like I've been possessed by a Chatty Cathy doll. (more...)
09/09/2005 - "OREGON! West Coast weather, no more rolling blackouts!"
Yeah, I totally forgot to talk about all the stuff I want to do this weekend, but may or may not get done. If I don't write it down, I might forget, because I'm old and busted. ::rotfl::
I need to hang things on the walls. The Whiteboard Of Doom, most definitely. Oh, and my homemade tag boards, too. There may have been some other things I wanted to put up, but they escape me at the moment. I hope I remember before I get done hanging the whiteboard and give backbookid 's hammer. ;p (more...)
09/09/2004 - "I'm going to ram my ovapositor down your throat and lay eggs in your stomach, but I'm not an alien!"
Grrr, the bugs are being stubborn today. Well, while I'm waiting for a process to finish...
Tomorrow will mark one month since I started this job, already. No complaints so far. Employment is good. The day shift is pretty groovy, even if getting up in the morning is not. Dutch Bros. has been my savior on many a groggy morning. Also, my desk is getting moved to another location over this weekend. Hopefully I'll get a nice corner where I'm not blocking foot traffic. (more...)
09/09/2003 - "He should have armed himself if he was gonna decorate his saloon with my friend."
Wow, I'm up early. ::aldkfhdlkfhasf:: Of course, this is nothing compared to when I have classes, but eh, whatever. It's a triumph for my insane summer schedule!
I'm helpingjunsiew move in about half an hour, here. I'm probably going to be semi-grumpy, because I can't take my shower, seeing as it's currently occupied by some incredibly grimy clothes soaking in Oxi-Clean. Things always seem so tremendously off-kilter when I haven't gone through my entire personal hygiene routine each morning. :( (more...)
09/09/2003 - AAAAAAHHHHH
Today's theme must be Carrying Things Up And Down The Stairs.
First, I carriedjunsiew 's stuff down to the car, and then from the car to the 4th floor of Douglass. This was at the beginning of the day, when I was feeling energetic, and was actually planning to carry things. And both Janet and Shin were there, hauling things up the stairs right alongside me, so overall, it wasn't so terrible. I was actually feeling pretty good afterward. (more...)
09/09/2002 - "Is it Monday...?" "NO!!"
Mr. Insomnia came back to bite me in the ass last night, so I didn't fall asleep for quite a while. But I still got up at a decent hour, so yay! Maybe if I really pour it on at the gym today, I can tire myself out enough to get back to the uber-early wakeup again. (more...)
09/09/2002 - OMG OMG OMG
IT'S HERE IT'S HERE IT'S HERE!!!
Yes, motherboard (that actually accepts my old memory sticks, thank goodness), processor, and a fierce cooling fan. I can feel the p0w3r in my very hands... *_* (more...)
09/09/2002 - ARGH ARGH ARGH
OMFG I will find the man who designed processor fan clips and I will BEAT HIM SILLY. ::explodes::
Seriously, though, this thing is annoying the piss out of me. Putting in the new power supply was painless, as was everything else thus far. But the fan will not cooperate! ARGH! I think I remember having this problem last time, though, so I'm not worried. Just annoyed. :p And this thing's going to be phatty when I'm done, so I just gotta hang in there. ^^;;; (more...)
09/09/2001 - Sundaaay SUNDAY Sundayyyy!
So yeah, it's Sunday. Didn't do much yesterday... slept in, watched some movies downstairs, and then got almost to the end of the Evangelion series with James. He's been speculating wildly about what's going to happen in the plot, and I'm determined *not* to give him any spoilers, SO I just have to sit him down and make him watch the whole freakin' thing before it's too late. ^_-
Now, I have done all the morning-type things, which means it's time to eat.
09/09/2000 - Out-of-Towning
So I was planning out dinner last night and Aleisha walks in, hands me her phone, and says it's for *me*. O_o James said that he was going to come get me. So he did. I fed him some stroganoff and then he took me home with him. ^_^ Today I've been sitting on my bum, but that's okay. :)
