That's cool, I didn't feel like sleeping last night anyways. Lying awake upset is way more fun anyways. That's it, I'm pulling a "we need to talk". Has anything good ever come from those 4 little words? Not likely. I suspect that trend will continue tonight.

Beers with C. 3 nights in a row. Terrible idea. How do her "not-so-subtle" hints turn from obvious interest in me, to blunt attempts to acknowledge that my interest is unwanted. Moreover if this is the case, why does she keep calling me? Surely she must have some other friends with whom to hang out who aren't becoming progressively more infatuated with her. I woke...

Back from Fernie...
What a gong-show. I have not been that wrecked in quite some time...I pulled the typical "6 beers will do for preloading", failing to recognize that 2 of those 6 beers were in 1 L bottles. Ran into a girl I used to work with ages ago. I managed to score another beer outta that somehow...allthough I think I was rude to...

So looks like Fernie's a go...since the hotel room's on my credit card. Good thing I'm deathly ill. Ugh, my head...
At least I finished my paper, so now the metaphorical headache has given way to the actual one. Everything aches. Sounds like a good day to get back to working in the lab, no? Calixarene triflates here I come!
Actually I got back into...

Another day, another 13 hours spent on this damn paper. You'd think I'd be done by now eh? Well think again. Looking through the chem journals this morning, and I found a paper detailing a new reaction with three reagents. They used the term "menage a trois" in their abstract. Brilliant! Went out for beers with C. last night cuz we missed the movie (someone...

Ugh...I spent all weekend inside writing this damn paper...and I'm still not done. I'll probably spend all day on it again today, despite the fact that I should be in the lab (apparently I'll never make a break-through discovery without having to do some actual work...). I'm supposed to have another "this is not a date, just friends who are attracted to one another hanging...

Okay, seriously...I'm starting that paper tommorow...
I was gonna start it last night, but then I managed to score tickets to the Flames game...and then ended up drinking under a bridge downtown. Good times, So I went out with C. tonight, We got drunk and busted out the "quasi-heart to heart." We setttled on we're both attracted to each other, but the timings not right,...

Still haven't started writing my paper...although I've spent enough time doing research over the last few days, and now I simply wish for a quick death. Just booked my trip to Halifax for the Canadian Society of Chemistry's conference this spring. It's gonna be awesome. I'm staying a few extra days, and plan on chemistry playing only a minor role in the trip (even though...

Who wants to write a 15 page paper on silicon multiple bonding? C. asked me to go to Fernie with her for a weekend. I think I'll dodge the temptation to read too much into that invite, and spare myself a weekend of dissappointments. Back to silicon, which apparently my life now revolves around...

Bullocks. I was supposed to go skiing today, until I slept through my alarm...it's SO nice out too. Hung out with C. again last night. Looks like another case of "just friends" for now, leaving my love-life directionless once again. Maybe I'll just go back to pining for Rexa (Don't worry, I'm joking). I guess I should probably resume my studying and cease my ranting...

Well, back to square one...
It's funny how someone can make you feel so special when you're alone together and so insignificant when you're in a group of people. I think we'll officially downgrade C.'s status from "crush" to "coulda, woulda, shoulda". It's a good thing I went out tonight instead of:
a) working in the lab, and obtaining the results I already claim to...

This is gonna have to be a "quickie", seeing as how I should be getting my arse to work by now, but I just thought I'd quickly remind any and ALL Albertans who might happen by this series of rants to write their MLAs regarding Ralph Klein's third way. Regardless of your views, this stuff is way too important to not have your voice heard!...
