Bandolero by Day

I am closer to the mid-Atlantic ridge than EVER BEFORE.

My flight hit a wad of turbulance just once, as we were flying over Memphis. I suspect this is because there are evil people down there.

My econ instructor seems to hate my guts all of a sudden. Yesterday she took me aside and began harping on me about... everything, I suppose. First, she accused me of using a disrespectful voice when I was "correcting" her in class (which is always a sign that an argument is going to be less than completely logical: "What tone? There was no tone." "I HEARD A TONE.") She also took issue with the fact that I was reading a science book in class, even though I pointed out to her the very thorough notes I had taken on everything she had said that day. She seemed to ignore this point. I'll try talking to her again on Monday.

On the bright side, I finally understand special relativity.

AND NOW... LJ as a means of social planning.

It may interest shinikius and sakibombshell to know that I have obtained FREEDOM on the weekend of March 12th, so we'd damn well better go to that fair. OR ELSE. Or else what? OR ELSE... MONKEYS. Also, I am willing to bring a certain mko from Tucson to Phoenix so that she might also attend, and so I don't have to carry home greasy food souvenirs for her.

On the 14th I will be having my wisdom teeth pulled. On the 15th I will be recuperating. On the 16th I will probably be back at work.

Tomorrow after work there will be movies and consumption of Italian food with a coworker.

Perhaps a certain teh_nikster could let me know when she's free so that we can maybe possibly plan something, although I'm guessing our work schedules overlap horribly as usual and that getting together will take some time. BUT WE WILL JUST KEEP AT IT!

Still planning on going to New York. I mentioned it to my mother, and she is in no way adverse to my making use of my benefits for this trip. I'll have to look at the flights into Islip (OR MAYBE PHILLY?) on the 25th. Here's hoping I can get a route that doesn't suck.

ETA: ALSO A MEEJ SHOULD VISIT! ALSO A KAYLI AND A DAVID IN MAY! ALSO A RELIA, MAYBE ALSO IN MAY. Fuck, EVERYONE should visit me.

Wow, honesty is fun!

No, really. I'm being serious. I thought that whole crazy honesty stint there was pretty cool.

Also, I want to learn German just so that I can shout completely innocuous phrases at random and scare the shit out of people.

"ES SIEHT NACH REGEN AUS."

The season of hell is over, and not a moment too soon. I think work was starting to get to my brain. Today, I was cleaning behind the counter during a slow period, and my supervisor was in the back room doing dishes and whistling a tune. I heard the sound and thought, "Gosh, I'm getting really good at whistling!"

...

... BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT I WAS THE ONE WHO WAS WHISTLING. SO FAR GONE.

Tomorrow I finally have a day off, followed by three days of reasonable hours, one extra-long shift, and then a MEEJ-WEEKEND. HANG IN THERE, Z! YOU CAN DO IT. KEEP WHISTLING.

P.S.

In the year 2005 I resolve to: Learn to eat fire. Get your resolution here

I'LL DO IT.

Yes, I changed the colors around. AGAIN, I BLAME THE WORK AND BEING SO FAR GONE THAT I HURRR THUD.

If you are mko, shinikius, or sakibombshell, I have Otakon souvenirs for you... but if you're shinikius, I accidentally bought you a weird souvenir. Pretty weird. I'm going to give it to you anyway, though. (Also: I actually have this Saturday and Sunday OFF! We must do something cool! Like Sunsplash or tubing or something!)

If you are lordlazarus, you have been immortalized in my gallery of Awesome Humans Who Buy Me Pez for your kind gift of Retro-Pez. Wonder Woman was totally making out with the nurse. You should've seen it.

If you are kayli_kender or neherenia, I totally banged your mom last night. Also, Otakon pictures.
