7 53 am....Here I am sitting in a suit and tie, wait for 9 o' clock to roll around. My roommate is sleeping very heavily, to the point he is making annoying sounds. I want to poke him with a stick.

No one is online. Well there is the wierd Asian kid, but yeah...He is wierd. All he talks about is sex...and anime...and anime sex...

My stomach is growling. Nothing to eat, there is. There..I did a yoda impression. Too bad i didn't do it out loud, but i don't want to wake my roommate. Well actually, he woke me up once... Ok...I just said it out loud..he didn't wake up..What a waste of time.

So i don't get to go home for easter. This is the first time in my life that I will spend it alone. You know why? Because I have to goto indianapolis, for an E.U. simulation. Yeah, i ended up being the Comissioner of business and industry...That really sucks, considering I have no flogging clue what I am supposed to do. Oh well, that's my professor's fault.

So yeah, how is your day going?

I'm sitting in my office, should be grading responses, and I'll be observed as a teacher during my second class, so I ought to be prepping for that as well.

In fact, see y'all later.

see, that's what you get when you actually get involved in things. the safest thing to do and only path to happiness is to never do anything and just retreat inside your shell to become some kind of time-wizened hermit.

oh wait, no... i tried that. it sucks balls. its just unfortunate timing - besides i bet once you get there you'll have fun with all the other EU simulation... people. :)



my day has been really up and down already, and i've only been awake for about 3 hours. woke up in a really shitty mood (kinda got in it last night before going to sleep, and then had nightmares again during the night. bah) but have kinda wriggled my way out of it now (with a little help from an NSer you all know and love... well, i love at least :fluffle: ). overslept. about to have lunch. pretty much a non-day so far... might have pizza later though so that's something to get excited about, right? no? aw :(

I have good coffee, watching Regis and Kelly, it smells good in here and outside the birds chirping. Thinking about bugging my dad to go get donuts and more coffee. My god it smells really good in here.

Yay! No more kiddie shows!

Hmmm, I am sitting in the lab, listening to the loud sound of gears grinding in our ancient vacuum pump. Been here since 6:00 am or so on a university holiday.

Waiting for some results (in about 15 min its done) that could make or break a project I am working on

Have an annual meeting in about a month with nothing to really talk about...and have to start writing soon--

The only consolation, ran for coffee about 20 min ago (made the second pot and realized I was out) and it just got done...mmmmm....coffee..

oh yeah, and I don't have to teach this week since it is Easter Break. Yeah! That means more time to do research! YAY!

OK, so on a whole, its about 50/50 good/indifferent day...

And this is worth complaining about? :eek:

Considering I've only been up about an hour, my day is going pretty ok so far. Heh!

BTW ... nice Yoda impression. ;)

Eut, if you ever say "kewl" again I will be forced to throw you back into service and straight into the most battle-torn part of this planet at the moment. =/

As for me, I feel like I'm stoned. Yet, I never touch any drugs. Might be because I stayed up the whole night after sleeping the whole day. =/

I'm sat in my flat at uni with barely anyone around trying to force myself to start working on various things with close deadlines.

And instead, I'm on NS. :(

You must mean groggy. Too much sleep is actually bad.
I suggest an ice-cold shower. That'll get that grogg out of ya'.
I'll also let you know that very successful people, for example India's financial minster, all wake up around 5 o'clock in the morning and take ice-cold showers.

I can't stand cold showers, probably because I hate getting wet unless the water is warm and comfortable. Even then only if I want to. =/

But meh. I'll get around to taking a shower in a wee bit.

Don't bathe much then?

Actually, no. I shower daily. I just don't like getting wet unless it's because I want to. I dunno why. I just have this odd aversion to any water that has nothing to do with my own wishes.

That's strange. OK, this is steering towards "hijack" territory and we're only on the first padge. Let's stop.
You admit to having a dislike of water, and yet shower daily.
Kyronea
13-04-2006, 15:34
Nonono. I only hate getting wet if it's not my decision to get wet. Otherwise I have no problem with water.

...

Yes, I'm very well aware that it's incredibly strange. I live with it. ~_~

You'd make a great policitan Kyronea.
Its quite normal to not want to get wet in your Sunday best ( Does anyone do that these days? ).
To be completely honest, I have no idea what you mean, unless its:
If I, Kyronea, shall enter water then it must be warm, comfortable, and on my own terms.

so far today, I had to call in sick to work since well, I am sick. My kid may or may not have pink eye. I have to go to the bank, the post office, the grocery store, and also, I found out that there is a sale on curriculum today only so I have to (okay need to) go and see what I can pick up at 75% off. I guess it's a good thing that I am sick, or I wouldn't get anything done today (well, aside from teaching some kids some stuff they don't want to learn, and in the process earning $65.00)

Yes, that's what I mean.

And thanks a lot. You don't say someone would make a good politican. That's like saying they would make a good prostitute. It might be true, but it's insulting.

I am literally taking a day off from school with the blessing of my parents (one of my parents, at least) in order to think through all the hell I've been through for the past 7 months and figure out what I should be doing now.

I've just spent a joyful hour trying to put together a hose. How difficult could that be, you might well ask. Well, I'll tell you. First off, I'm fairly sure I had the wrong set of instructions for putting it together. Secondly, there were random pieces of plastic included with the hose. So I plug everything together, as per the instructions, only to find that there's a bar across the middle of the reel preventing me from plugging the goddamn thing together at the precise point where any leakage is likely to occur. Not to worry, I'll plug it together without going through the small little hole clearly ill-designed for the purpose, thinks I. Ooooh, that was a bad idea. So now, here I am, with soaking wet clothes on the radiator, having had 3 different bits of hosepipe come apart in my hands. While the tap was on.

Apart from that...I got up at 8 this morning (I'm on holiday! 8 in the morning should not exist!) to wait for a delivery of turf for the garden. It's half 4. It still hasn't arrived. I've done bugger all work on my dissertation. And I just found that the cheese I was saving in the fridge has gone mouldy. I was fine with everything else, but mouldy cheese?! I was looking forward to that so much. :(

it won't do what i tell it to do, or want it to do... its infuriating when no matter what you do to make it work you just can't get what's in your head to be what's on screen

i have since given up and tried doing something different ;)

Same here. It's a contest between my dislike of water vs my fear of becoming a social pariah because of my strange smell. Usually, pariah-fear triumphs over water-fear.
