Bandolero by Day

So close to the finish line, and THEN... my anthro instructor assigns a surprise research paper. That doesn't sound right. Surprise research paper. Saving grace is the fact that it only requires three sources. All I have to do is survive through Monday and I'm in the clear.

I'll be working full time through the summer, which is a strange concept for me. This is likely because the idea of working full time at Starbucks is horrible and mind-rending. I'm still adjusting to having a job that I can work at for hours every day without being driven mad with rage.

Unfortunately, our department will be losing two employees in the next two weeks, which is part of the reason I'm going full time: I have to fill that void. This makes the prospect of flying somewhere before summer school starts up unlikely, unless my boss manages to fill at least one of those positions within the next two weeks. It's up in the air. Like a plane. Or a bird if you prefer.


IMPORTANT NOTE: This isn't really an important note. I lied, but I think it's interesting nonetheless. As discovered by one rotsman some time ago, there is a secret behind my "Z" moniker. You see, my initials are S.E.B. Numerically, these letters become 19, 5, and 2. If you add these numbers together, you get 26, ID EST Z. I did not realize this until he pointed it out. Technically I didn't even give myself this nickname; it sort of evolved on its own as my friends (including some of you folk) became lazier and lazier in their typing of "Zorro", which someone long ago sort of twisted out of "Zeruel".

Clearly this laziness was dictated by fate.

I can't decide.

I like user icons. They are fun to look at. However, I feel I must note that user icons with the user's face on them (for some examples, scroll down) freak me the fuck out. I'm not sure why. I mean, just look at the linked example. Is it just me? Does anyone else look at those and go "...ngyah!"?

They DO become less disturbing with time, which is why I can read my friends page without going "ngyah!" every two minutes. Something about having seen the person's face in real life also makes it less disturbing to see it as an icon.

I don't know why this is. My brain is very mysterious to me.


Now, I will celebrate PEZ ICONS I made by linking all six of them here (and that's not even including the default icon, props to atkascha).

Pez icons make me particularly happy.

Tired as hell. Can't sleep. "I'm so tired, but I can't sleep..." AND I KEEP GETTING THAT SARAH MCLAUCHLAN SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD. That does not help matters!

I need to find something to do.

Maybe I'll go to sleep.

...oh. DAMNIT.

Just throwing that out there. It's been a weird day.

Oh, also, ATTN: INTERESTED PARTIES - next week I have Thursday, Friday and Saturday off. Make of this what you will. First come, first serve. I serve punches to the throat, cold and refreshing.


Sometimes I just want to bitchslap the planet.
