School starts next week, and haven't even registered for classes. I am so not ready for this to be senior year; I have zero idea what to do with my life once I graduate.
I still can't believe nobody's ever visited me down here, I hope that changes. If I live in the greatest city in the country for 4+ years and nobody ever visits me, I will be supremely pissed.
I also seem to have picked up a girlfriend somewhere in the past 3 weeks, it's really wierd, it just kind of...happened. She doesn't want me to actually call her my girlfriend, though, nor put it out on facebook, because she says that puts useless social pressure on everyone, and that we don't need socfial labels to be happy. I think this just might work.
Apart from that, not much else is up. I still work too much. |

I just managed to (succesfully) sew a button back on one of my shirts. I feel so disproportionately proud of myself considering what a small and menial task it is. What evil bodes for a world in which a domesticated me exists?
I'm working 65+ hours a week, hopefully to pay off the enourmous debt I racked up at the wedding. Somehow managed to get all of the bridesmaids to like me best. Sweet.
I got a free total-access pass to Disney, so I'm going. By myself.
This could end badly.
I just wish I had a car so I could visit the Everglades while I'm at it (I've turned into such a biology nerd).
Went to a Michael Jackson second-line on sunday. Someone got stabbed, I had a lot of fun, partook(?) of some fun stuff, had some pretty awesome company (which consisted in part of my entomology professor), and maybe got asked out on a date?
Adventures in the dirty land down south never end. |

I'm takin a 15+ hour train ride to a wedding in San Antonio to save money so I can drink more while I'm there. The catering people were instructed to give no one tequila at the dinenr BUT ME, and a bartender I met while on hurrication is donating a keg to the bachelor party (and I quote) "Because you raise the drinking caliber of the entire town."
I feel so freaking special, I could cry.
In other really fucked up news, one of the crazy Kellys I was hooking up with last fall is working as a waitress at a (very nasty) strip club on Bourbon St; and is also dating one of my best friends...who is also my 36-year old philosophy professor. We went to surprise her at work on saturday, and what ensued was one of the most magical evenings of my life. I woke up at 6am on a bench in the park to a duck trying to eat my cell phone.
I'm scared to think of what I'll be doing for fun 2 years from now. |

This is very sad... I was really looking forward to it.
Instead, though, I get to graduate next near and move to Australia where I will work as a tour guide on the Great Barrier Reef!!!!! I HOPE!!!
Anyway, money will continue to be tight and I will hopefully find some release this semester. |

I've been offered a position in a program in Kore where I go to some random village and teach english for a year. I think I'll do it.
Gotta tell the parents tomorrow. This should be interesting. |

I think the last time I won anything I actually cared about was that stupid Science Jeopardy thing back in pikesville. Fuck.
And the worst part is that the fact that it pisses me off pisses me of some more because it shouldn't. FUCK.

It seems all I do these days is work, or worry about what I should be working on next. This is certainly NOT the kind of shit I can deal with, I am simply too lazy.
The best part is knowing that when I'm done getting my ass kicked by school and life in general, I can only look forward to a summer full of more ass-kicking and uncertainty.
considering self-lobotomy as an option. Hell, I'd settle for some form of memory loss (more than I already have, that is), just so I wouldn't have to remember how much shit I've already done. After all, the road always stretches proportionally to how far you've already traveled.
Reading about great tits in holland cheered me up though. hooray biology. |

Seriously considering amputating my foot. Its the same one, and it always get freaking hurt. Maybe I could replace it with a foot-shaped flask?
Yay for getting older. Hope everyone's ready for me to spend all my break sleeping and painting the house, then getting wasted and terrorizing the neighborhood. And Kulick's class.
Bah. |

Mardi Gras!
I have an entomology test and a chem lab due friday, though. Ewww.
Anyway, I'm about to leave the land of sanity for the next week. See you when I get back (or not). |

| In my times... |
[Feb. 15th, 2009|05:09 am] |
In my times, I have learned and seen many things...
One of the myriad things I've observed, is that New Orleans tap water is like nothing else. Freshly drawn, it has a refreshinglyh crisp finish that is just right for the humid and blistering heat that dominates the year. When one drinks too much, the water has an alchemy of minerals that refresh the soul and settle the stomach; there is no better water, apart from deep-well water or pure filter water. \
But, when one looks deeper, frightening patterns emerge. The resting pH of the tap water is 8.73, and the chlorine content is so ridiculous that not even the most basic duckweed will grow in it. As refreshing as newly-drawn water is, it acquires a noticeable metallic aftertaste after sitting for more than an hour. The worst of the matter is that after resting for longer than 5 hours the water takes on a taste that reminds one of the unique taste of blood, and has a metallic aftertaste so awful, it's no wonder many vampire novels are set in New Orleans. Really, all you have to do is Drink the Water.
...And I'm sure I've heard that before, somewhere else... |

Left in a vacuum of thought and emotion, what do I do?
Err on the side of caution... or whatever the other side is?
Blah. I am adrift; spinning about with no rudder. Watch how I soar. |

In the past week I have fixed a broken urinal, re-hung my door, changed the glass on a window, re-wired an electrical socket and disassembled a variety of nonworking lamps around the house. All with only the help of my trusty ratcheting screwdriver and google.
At least now I'm developing skills I could use in case my career goes horribly wrong.
Oh, and I learned how to make a gas chamber for bugs in my entomology class today. I have to start working on my insect collection starting next week.
Pledges soon! I can't freaking wait. |

For someone who fucks up all the time and goes through life making nothing but mistakes, I am constantly amased at how surprisingly well my life pans out. Under such circumstances, I guess they're not so much "mistakes" as they are "unconventional life choices".
Someone left a really strange box of cigarettes in my room last night. They're called "capri", and the packaging is so obviously aimed at the 'young and female' demographic that it makes me kind of sick. And I kind of want to smoke one just to prove a point (that they all taste the same, anyway), but I know that it would just lead to a relapse. |

My cousin just updated her status with "7 more days!", which is when her second baby is due.
I'm not sure why (although I can easily guess), but this makes me feel utterly insignificant and useless. What have I ever done (or can hope to achieve) that comes even close to being that important?
I'm back from Mexico, and feeling WAY too responsible and serious to be me. I think I've been kidnapped and replaced with a double without realizing it. I'm my own impostor!
I did have fun though, so it's all good.
Kind of a long-term surprise: I might be springing up to baltimore between the 20-29th of March, since I'll be staying in NOLA the whole summer and until I graduate. It all depends on how I feel about it, how much money my parents offer for finishing fixing the house, and how many people will be around. So feel free to comment if you'll be around, and (duh) would like to hang out. |

Have seen the sun rise 7 days in a row, am contemplating becoming a vampire simply because I'm already used to the schedule.
No more finals, and no more money. Having a bonfire tomorrow that consists of old palm fronds (leftovers from Goombay) and beer boxes. Fun times.
Stop.
It's hammertime? |

| Grrr |

Losing faith in humanity. Might take a brief hiatus from it soon.
One test to go, and I'm sick as hell. I have the plague, or someshit like that.
Oh, and next person to try to explain how there's no money problems gets a hatchet to the dome (as long as I'm not forced to fucking pawn it for food before then).

So, with my considerable talents at awesomeness and badassery, I have now gotten rid of what was once the world's most expensive and elaborate paper-weight, and once again have a working computer. The old mobo's fried though, along with the CPU; which means that I don't have any more backups.
Finals next week? Fuck. |

Having a swanky martini party tonight, so that I don't feel like the cheap drunk that I am when I celebrate thanksgiving with turkey poboys and a bottle of wild turkey.
I'm going to start selling plasma in order to make money. |

hoooooooooly crap.
So after that retardedly crazy week I just had, which culminated in Goombay (which is our biggest party of the year, and of which I was in charge), and that was amazing. Every inch of my body aches due to exhaustion, stress, and partying.
I think I'm going to hibernate for the next two weeks. |
