Crashing time
Feb. 13th, 2001 12:50 amI did some writing while the boys were amusing themselves in the living room making an, uh, interesting AD&D character. I didn't get as much writing out of my system as I'd have liked, but it helped.
The kitchen got cleaned up earlier, but now it's a giant mess again. It's not as bad as yesterday, but it's still remarkably messy. D'oh! Will my house ever stay clean for more than 5 minutes? ;_;
I think that tonight, I will not repeat the mistake of last night, and I will actually endeavour to get to bed before 4am. ::rotfl:: Wish me luck!

It is officially FRIGGIN' COLD outside. x_x My hands literally hurt from the cold air when I biked over to campus today. Winter needs to end now. :p
This morning was less distasteful than other mornings, but that was probably only because I slept through Tools 2. I sat up to turn off my alarm, and was promptly blinded by the stark white display on Shecky's monitor, which caused me to flop back on the bed with my eyes shut, and fall back asleep. :p Grrr. The friendly black screensaver should have been on by then... WTF?

Shearing the sheep
Feb. 13th, 2001 12:18 pmDamnit, after reading Mara's post about getting a haircut, I'm starting to feel like chopping all *my* hair off too. Michelle Saram's got a boss haircut there! ;_; There isn't a lot you can do for a slick 'do when you have acres of hair like I do right now.
But then again, I may end up having to get reading glasses, or perhaps full-time lenses, because of the stupid black dot in my vision. >_< That would make avoiding the Velma look infinitely more difficult if I chopped off the hair along with it. And I spent probably a *year* growing it out to a decent length, so to throw away all that effort...

Small-time philanthropy
Feb. 13th, 2001 12:50 pmMere minutes ago, I just fed 8 hungry people with $2. :D Apparently Food For Lane County can get 6 pounds of food for every dollar to feed needy families. I wish I could work that kind of magic with *my* dollars.
Odd tangent...
Feb. 13th, 2001 01:46 pmThis one made me think for a while... for those not in the know on J-rock, hide (pronounced "hee-day") was a phenomenal artist who passed away under rather mysterious circumstances a few years ago. (And don't capitalize his name either... he didn't like it. :p)
Alyson: i almost bought a hide doll 5 minutes ago, but i stopped myself. ;_;
Me: Aaawww... but hide wants to be owned by you! <3
Alyson: first i couldn't decide which one (i picked the old-school one with all the hair and the black outfit. he's pretty. ;_;) but then it sorta seemed really odd to me that i was going to purchase a plushie version of a dead man. and i started getting philosophical and decided not to spend the $25 and just got a luna sea wristband instead. :LDKSJD:LKJ ^_^;;;
Me: AKASDLKFH! That's kinda funny, man...
Alyson: well, y'know.. i just started thinking about j, and all the rest of his friends, and how the hell it made them feel to see all these little hides in the ufo catcher machines, and it made me sad. ;_;
Me: You know, that really *is* disturbing. It'd be like seeing a plastic keychain of my grandma inside one of those freakin' prize claw things. It ain't right.
Alyson: *nods* yeah, exactly! i mean, hide was the shit, for certain, but... he still has friends and family walking around that have to see that shit. x_x; and some of em are still really sensitive over it... *coughJcough* i don't think i could handle it. or else i'd own like 5000 of the fuckers. x_X; i feel so bad for all of em. x_X; no wonder zilch is still playing the old-school shit, and j's dedicating his solo career to him, etc etc...
Me: Totally. And I can't even fathom the whole of it because I've never been particularly close to anyone who's died before. ^^;

I've been working on choreographing the stupid dance project for tomorrow since I got home, and I'm completely blanking out. I can't come up with ANYTHING. ;_; It's supposed to be at least 60 seconds long, and I've come up with maybe 10 seconds of that.
I am SO screwed.
I am SO screwed.
Somewhat-Brutal Honesty Hour, #2
Feb. 13th, 2001 11:51 pmI am gonna make it, I'm not gonna fake it
You know what sucks? When people profess excitement at the prospect of seeing you at some point in the future, and then don't even bother giving you the time of day once you're actually there. They'll just maybe say "hi" and then not even bother listening to a word you try to say for the rest of the day.
This has been happening to me a good bit more than I'd like lately, and boy howdy, is it getting old.
I think I must smell bad. Or have scary teeth, or something... ne? Seriously, you can be honest with me on this. ;p
