Sleep!
2002-05-08 14:49:27
Sleep is good. I had 8 and half hours, and boy, it does a body good. Screw YOU milk. Sleep is king. Now I'm making breakfast and skipping the coffee, since my body has been smelling like a Starbucks for the past month.
The Strange Fiction meeting went well on Sunday. A decent sized group, although not everyone showed up. New blood, we need new blood! And I got to eat at Island's Big Wave Burgers, it's one of my favorites. Steven didn't feel like coming back and working on our newest video, since he hadn't seen all of the series we're using.
I got to play a leeetle bit of Pharaoh last night, before it was time to watch the Shield and Law and Order. TiVo, I love thee....
Okay my Boca sausage is almost done.... doesn't boca mean mouth? I'm eating a mouth sausage. I think that's almost as disgusting as what's in "real" sausages... -
Finals Over.

I think I did pretty well in my classes this semester, at least 2 A's and possibly a B and a C. I'll have to wait until they are officially posted, tho.
Tomorrow I start working somewhat fulltime. I'll have to in order to pay my bills since I blew most of my FA in paying off my credit cards. At least I have all those Subway stamp cards, I'll be able to eat there as much as I want. ;)
Now I can spend my evenings on frivolous things like making a nice dinner, watching endless amounts of anime, and playing all my wonderful computer games. Or maybe I'll just get lots and lots of sleep. :) -
Urgh.

Having online friends with problems is a pain in the ass. Some feel no guilt about misrepresenting themselves to others for attention, and others will fall into their traps and eat up all the pathetic "i'm so vulnerable" swill. I can't stand this kinda stuff... yeah, everyone twists the truth to make themselves look better, but there's a difference between with-holding certain information (that you are a neurotic fuzzy sticker molester, just to throw out something completely random and not reflecting at all on my own personal problems) and outright LYING.
So many people think it's okay and find thrills in getting people to believe their B.S. Maybe they don't even know it's B.S. because they are so messed up. But once it crosses the line of harmless "chatting" and gets into areas where other people really worry about you because they actually CARE, it's really really unethical and downright crappy. Maybe they are afraid nobody will care unless they make up these lies. They know that certain things gain pitty, and that's why they do it.
I just feel stuck in the middle. I see one person up to his same old garbage in a different place, just after having their "cover" blown somewhere else. I so want to rat him out to these people, but honestly, it's hard to care enough. On one hand I think it's totally wrong, and on the other, he's been a good friend to me. Fuck THEM if they can't figure out the crap, right?
I just don't like seeing people hurt... -
End of Finals Looms

I have two papers to write and an important final to study for, since I didn't do the extra credit assignment that was worth another test grade. The other final (Human Origins) will be pretty easy because they gave it out on the very first day of class and I did well on it. So if my brain hasn't been thoroughly sucked from my head by Tuesday, I'll get a good grade in that course. I'm a bit worried about my history paper, cuz I'd like to at least get a B; things were way to hectic this semester, getting sick for two weeks with bronchitis really set me back. I think I did really well on my Japanese religion and values course, I'm pretty sure I got an A. I'm on shakey ground (at least a C) with OW Prehistory II, but if I do well enough... I should have a squeaky B.
And then I have to think about summer school. :
And working full(ish) time. :
And playing Black & White and Sims and Pharaoh and Civ and and Railroad Tycoon and maybe even see what's up with Zoo Tycoon these days. And reading the Otherland series by Tad Williams, the books by Alice Walker I bought, re-read George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire and finish browsing the Encyclopedia of Mammals.
And then I have to work on my comic and short stories for the Strange Fiction meeting and do yoga and ride the excercize bike and plant a garden and become a pool hustler and buy more birds and set up an aquarium and clean out the extra bedroom and finish cleaning off the patio play "Go: A Game of Oriental Strategy" and Sequence and all those card games we have.
Not to mention do two new videos for Anime Expo and get a room for Anime Expo and talk to Jeanette about after Anime Expo and pre-reg for next year's Expo and generally make room on my credit cards for Expo. Oh and find out if Nate is going to Anime Expo.
I just don't know what I'm going to do with myself this summer. -
Time to put on the overalls...

I get to help my mom paint the old house! Doesn't that sound sooooo fuuuuun? Not really. Ah well, it's gotta be done by Monday, so they need all the help they can get. Then I can go over to the new house and play pool and hop in the jacuzzi and eat fruits from the trees.
On a sad note, my mutant inbred baby bird died. :( So it's time to separate the males from the female and buy some new birds so they can breed without producing gigantic, wobbling freaks of nature. The story of the bird with three parents, the incestuous lovers and the one-legged uncle comes to a sad end. :(
