Because I'm a freak with no social life, that's why.

So its 10pm and for some reason I decided that I will finish organizing my bookmarks tonight, and, time allowing, the files that are a jumbled mess on my computer. And rationalizing it because its Friday night and I have no bedtime. And I don't care what time blogger says I published this because its 10pm and blogger's wrong and I don't know how to change it.

Update: apparently daylight savings time fixed the time not working thing, or something, because it used to be behind a few hours and I think it still is on my other blog.

It Has Been Exactly Three Weeks Since I Last Posted

I loved Star Trek Into Darkness. Two quotes I wish had been there, since this was the Khan movie: "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one." and "You are my friend. I have been and always shall be yours." The "You are my friend." made it in, and he could have said "I have been and always shall be your friend.", but apparently they didn't think it was worth it to put in the most memorable lines of Wrath of Khan. Maybe they felt it was out of place since Spock wasn't the one dying.

Insanely Loud Thunderstorm

So earlier today some time in my 10-11:50 class I heard the loudest thunder clap I've ever heard in my entire life, and an even louder one two minutes later, and an even louder and longer one three minutes after that. Seriously, wtf is with this insanely loud thunder? They keep getting louder and louder. And then I heard it start pouring. Must have been some storm, I could hear the wind and everything. And the thunder claps just kept getting louder and longer, booming thunder claps that echoed.

In Which I Talk About Yesterday And Today Because I Forgot Yesterday

Yesterday: Psychology is providing us with a book with all the lecture notes, so I don't actually have to take notes. Got to English way early. Professor walks in ten minutes before class starts. Asks if this is ENC 1102. A few people say yes. Sets his stuff down. Starts to take attendance. Calls out a few names. No one says anything. He asks what room he's in. Someone says 128. And of course "Oh, 128, I'm supposed to be in 127." He then promptly picks up his stuff and walks out, adding "I'm sure your professor will be very nice." Very confidence inspiring. Right professor arrives. Tells us her name and email are different names 'cause she just got married. Apparently either outside or just got back from her honeymoon, as she is tomato red from what I assume to be sunburn. Makes us interview each other and introduce each other to the class. Tells us we have gained the skill of journalism and now have a second career option. Tells us she's a student here.
Today: Have geology lab before geology. Geology lab instructor is a marine biologist. Tells us if we miss a class the make up work will be a five page hand written essay. Tells us we will have a practical final exam, in which there are 30 stations and we will have a minute and a half at each station. I wonder how he's gonna fit 30 stations in this tiny-ass classroom of his. Other syllabus stuff, blah blah blah, yes I was listening. Tells us geology professor hates when people are late. This is later confirmed by geology professor. Says we'll love him, but don't get on his bad side. Tells us his name, which sounds either German or Russian. Geology. Professor looks like William Shatner. Thinks he looks like Russell Crowe. Kinda looks a little like my high school chemistry teacher, who coincidentally used to be a college professor. I think he was fired for being an ass. Tells us he's Ukrainian. Says if anyone in the class is a Ukrainian geology major who has a chihuahua they can leave right now 'cause they get an A. Tells us we have a better chance of passing if we laugh at his jokes. We find out his jokes really are funny, he's one of those people. While he's talking and some such I wonder if good professors get larger classrooms or if this particular classroom (which I had geography in last semester) just makes professors funny. My geography professor was like this guy. Jokes about people running out screaming 'cause the course is that hard. Says after people drop the class there will be 6 people left and they'll be injured but probably pass. Jokes about student limping out after final. Tells us about supplemental instruction. Says we might not pass class if we don't go. Says instructor is a former student of his. Says she brings food and supplemental instruction is fun. I might go. Jokes about taking bribes. There was something else but I forgot. Tonight I have Architecture at 5:30 'cause that's the only one that was open when I signed up.

--- Update from a few minutes later when I remembered: * Geology lab instructor asks how many geology majors there are. There's one. Says he's sorry the rest of us have to be stuck in there 'cause of a science requirement it has to be a class with a lab, like biology or chemistry. Like we can't just be interested in geology if we're not geology majors. Jerk.

Hi Everyone!

Alternatively titled:"No, I Did Not Fall Off The Face Of The Earth"
Its been forever since I've posted. Like, seriously. Its been, like, four months. Anyways, back to what I was originally gonna post. Its a fight to get my mom to eat some stuff in this house. Mom:"Are you going to eat this?" Me:"You can have it." Mom:"But are you going to eat it?" Me:"You can have it." Mom:"But are you going to eat it?!" Me:"I said you can have it!" Mom:"I KNOW, BUT ARE YOU GOING TO EAT IT?!!!" Me:"No, you can have it!" Mom:"Why not?!" Me:"I SAID YOU CAN HAVE IT!!!" And it never ends.

In which I talk to a squirrel and I think he (or she) understood me

So the funniest thing happened to me today. I was walking to my exam and I look down and I see this squirrel walking right towards me. It was weird because they usually run away when you get too close. But this one must not have seen me or something because he just kept walking until he was about a foot or so from me and then he started to turn around. And me, being the sensitive, concerned person that I am, I said to him "its okay" and he just turned back towards me and kept walking and we just walked past each other and went on with our lives. It was the coolest thing. It was like he understood me. And now he's telling all his squirrel friends that either he survived a brush with death or a human was actually nice to him and he wasn't scared. Or maybe I'm just a freak who talks to squirrels and thinks too much about their lives.

In which I realize that, yes, is is just my luck that a pouring down rain thunderstorm starts just when I have to walk home from dinner

Yes, it is possible 1. for it to rain so much that you are forced to buy a $9 umbrella even though you have a perfectly good one at home. 2. for it to rain so much that its hitting you from every direction and you still get soaked despite the umbrella 3. for it to rain so much that the sidewalks look like rivers and you get soaked up to your knees in them. 4. Humans can run like cheetahs when its pouring and they don't have an umbrella. 5. for a thunderstorm where it pours down rain to start when you are at dinner. And note to self: it is never a good idea to wear flip flops in the rain, they will fall off your feet a million times. Although I am kinda glad none of my sneakers had to get soaked.

happy new year!
