After I write this, I swear I'm going to bed. Early, for once, too. Yesterday morning, I was up at 4:30, didn't sleep the entire day, went out last night, returned home around 2:45 this morning, woke up at 6, got up at 7:30, went to work..came home at 11:15
and had a two hour nap. Which wasn't really that comfortable, I had to leave...

So, it appears all my friends went out last night and no one bothered to ask/tell me. But later, they had the balls to inquire me about my own night and hint that perhaps they'd like to go with me next time. No one has bothered to tell me anything about tonight, either, despite talking to two people who will be there (cooking dinner at...

how did your googling go
I am quite annoyed. I was supposed to work at noon, but since we had a big snow last night that lasted through about 10:30 this morning, we are closed. So, instead of getting my ass to the library for the entire afternoon to get some stuff done, I have to wait here, and call back into work at 2:30, to see if we're opening,...

Our snow melts at sunrise. Very boring!
I'm going to drink some mead.

i used to have a problem with that too....i think im just meant to be alone most of the time, and ive grown to like it. i do miss some of the people who are no longer in my life though. particularly one guy who was the best male friend i ever had. i dont know why we stopped talking.
I'm actually not updating after midnight.
That's a first in a long time. I'm still undecided whether or not to run to uwm today/tonight, since the library will most likely be closed both sundays. My patience earned me two extra weeks to get my essay done, but a crapload more was added onto the entire...'project'. Plus, I've got two more essays going on at the...

Mostly it's just that I had too much of a temper when I was younger, and then never started once I mellowed out.
hethral:
It's just one of those things that is, not so much is good or is bad. I might try it some day if the situation were right, but part of that would have to be enough big friends around to restrain me if I lost my temper and went after someone for whatever reason.

It's thursday. This means not good things for my lazy ass. I'd like to go crawl back into bed, but I had to be stupid and wait and sleep..
I did wake up to there being cupcakes being frosted in the kitchen earlier.

Oh no, not another one with the cough. Ive had mine for 8 days now and its really boring me!!

Strangely enough I don't drink, and neither does the friend I'm doing out with so those beers will have to sit there by themselves in silent undrunk tribute. Well she drinks occasionally. I drink never, or as close to never as it gets, you know single shot to toast someone at a bachelor party or a glass of wine for a toast at a wedding, but I've never actually been drunk.
And nope, not wearing green today.
The whole relationship thing is too evil, it amazes me what people do to each other.

Changing this sleep pattern around is a bit more difficult than I remember. But for some reason, I also remember the other one coming about naturally. What did I start to do differently? Bah, I don't recall, it was last year, and I can barely tell you what we had for dinner tonight..

You're probably dreaming about doing research because that's what you've been doing a lot of lately. Every now and then I dream about my job AND I HATE MY JOB.
But I can relate about not being able to sleep at night. I have to force myself to sleep just so I can be somewhat awake for work in the morning. I've tried to change my sleeping habits for years with no success... and you're right, the lying there thinking just drives you crazy.

I hope it was as good for you as it was for ME. There's nothing like giggling like an ass when everyone else is in bed ten feet away..
A short update.. I'm changing my sleeping around, again, to how I had it last year. I'm going to go to bed now, when I'm done with this, and get up around 4 am. I used...

Why the hell is it monday already? I just want to sleep forever. Come now, is it really that hard to let me do just that?
Three hours of sleep later, and my eyes still burn.
When I opened up my emails that I sent to myself on friday, my smile quickly faded this morning. The topics weren't related to the one I was supposed...

I like the thought of getting lost in a library. When I was alive I used to love to read. In 6th grade I would read my dads NCAR book club books when he was done. Getting lost in a book while lying in a sunbeam for hours, only taking a break becasue of overwhelming hunger or a full bladder. Oh how I long for thoes days.
Please remind me about the reason for your hospital appointment again: was it for the ligament in your knee that keeps popping out of place? Good luck with that! Knees are the worst designed part of a human. Consequently, if you look at all well evolved bipedal lifeforms, at least ones that walk on the ground a lot, their knees bend backward. A much more functional design. Do you play sports at all?
I was reading about a theory regarding mood disorders and I am curious what you think as you, like me, proabably have one: depression. The theory is that certan thoughts are triggered by some event that makes you sad, then those thoughts repeat in your head and reinforce the triggered feeling. For example in Eternal Sunshine two lovers correct their relationship problems which makes me feel like a failure with my last realtionship and reminds me of what I lost. Then thoughs like "you have always had this problem and you will never be able to solve it" and "your flaws are so tremendous and self supporting that nobody will ever love you" circle in my mind reinforcing the origional feeling of saddness and generating more destructive thoughts.
The point of the theory is that if you can realise the cycle of these thoughts and break it by self distracting or soliciting outside help you can get yourself out of that slump of sadness, shortening its duration and eventually stopping the pattern of behaviour all togeather.
So far it hasnt worked for me but I havent seriously tried to apply it yet. Perhaps I will try it tonight, my roomate tends to saty up late. Perhaps if I talk her ear off I can avoid sharp objects or implements of inflicting damage by heat.
What do you think of the theory? Im going to link to this comment from my journal hopefully getting my friends to offer their opinions and unique perspectives as well.
I hope you sleep and sleep well, dreaming of floating worlds, soft, fuzzy, and glowing, filled with thoes little tree spirits from Princess Mononoke. I LOVE thoes little guys!

Aw come on... you should have no trouble getting a fanclub to follow you around. You seem cool enough and you're cute... that's pretty much all it takes.
Yeah, Underground and Revolution are two clubs I go to in Hollywood. Underground goes on every Friday night while Revolution is on every 2nd Saturday of the month. They're way cool. They primarily play brit pop, indie rock, and similar sounding music... bands like Metric, Pulp, The Ramones, Blur, Placebo, Elefant, and such. It's where I go to blow off steam from the week and have a few drinks.
I spent many hours in the library myself... if I wasn't researching scientific information for my experiments and reports, I was hidden away in a corner reading anything interesting I found on the shelves. I miss having that quiet time to just sit and read for hours.

I feel so awkward right now. It's been quite the day and night. But for now, I'm wracked with a headache, and feel sort of disoriented. I fell asleep on the couch and I'm not proud of it.
I went two and a half hours late into work. They said it would be okay, though. When I did go in, I froze and got tired...

2.5 hours late to work... OMG that's late.
Remember, when you get sick you always have to refer to it as "the plague". It might get you some extra sympathy.
But I guess it's best not to get sick at all... so don't do it.

Damn i just realized that i have to re-new my DL. Sucks thought they lasted 5 years. Mine only lasted 3.
So.. The trip to the campus was a disaster. Shit fucked up, we got confused, projects were done in the dark (we had no idea what to do and yet worked off of that somehow) and completely wrong, our independent projects, half of us didn't bother to do because there was no time, despite the fact we had an hour (don't ask). Eventually, someone in...

OhhhhKay - somehow I didn't expect to see an explanation of hex numbers in here
.
I useta be able to add and subtract in hex - was useful for finding out where my program blew up from the hexadecimal program counter and the offset locations from the source code printout we were required to keep - so we could find out where the program blew up
. It was all very self-referential
.
Now you just haveta guess and rely on your own program logs - sometimes I miss mainframes
LOL

Yeah i have no idea how you'd get involved with a ghost. Although it could be kinda kinky. *giggles*
ps you'd probably make me melt too!
It's so shocking that you had that snowman exposing himself to everyone.
Of course it's nothing like what these snowmen were doing.
