Man… I missed National Talk Like Pirate Day.

Yeah… today’s not gong to be a good day. I woke up feeling like crap (kinda like all of yesterday), and gave up the chance at a close parking space so as to be able to sleep for 15 more minutes… didn’t really sleep for about 14 of those minutes, and fell back asleep literally one minnute before my alarm went off again (sleeping in… not a good idea). And, when I got to Butler hall…. no Mello Yello. Only Coke. *sigh*

However… unlike Monique, I will not blame God for my whiney problems. Today, anyway.

Dude… I so need one of these. Perky goth, indeed.

In an interesting side note, whilst on my trip to Raleigh, someone called me a Gothlette. As in a baby goth. (not one of the people at the conference, needless to say). Don’t know whether to be offended. Goth wasn’t exactly the style I was going for… but oh well.

I’m not the only one who makes up words.

So Ha.

So… I’m in that weird transition in my life, where half my friends are single, and half of the other friends are married and having kids. And I’m more or less in between… Which has it’s good and bad moments. *sigh*

Came across this song on Launchcast… it rang really true… more so than most gooey country love songs

I set out on a narrow way many years ago

Hoping I would find true love along the broken road

But I got lost a time or two

Wiped my brow and kept pushing through

I couldn’t see how every sign pointed straight to you

Every long lost dream lead me to where you are

Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars

Pointing me on my way into your loving arms

This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road

That led me straight to you

- “Bless the Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts

oh yeah… and the Quote of yesterday:

You wouldn’t have to use them, you could just have them walking around and stuff. I mean, everybody loves zombies. It’s the end of the world, goddammit!

-Sam

Voting funny… it’s a movie clip, so if you’re on a slow connection… Dunno what to tell you. Take my word that it’s funny, I guess.

ok… so reports from NC.

The weekend has been pretty cool. Yesterday I went to the NC Museum of History, and the NC Museum of Natural Sciences. Both free. And very cool. The history museum had a cool centennial of flight exibit, which I very much enjoyed, and the Natural science place had lots of cool bugs and snakes and stuff. And the gift shop had lots of cool things to look at and buy (Christmas shopping, anyone?)… And I got somehting for Chad I could give him now… a wolf christmas ornament (more difficult to find than you would imagine).

Last night I went and hung out with people after the game was over (like, 1:30am)… Which was cool because apparently Chad’s character got wrapped up in some high level plot and did some cool stuff (and didn’t die), so he got to tell everyone about it, and they got to ooh and ahh about it As a side note, Tony had mixed up some wild tropical drink that they had me try… I’m going to have to get all his recipes. He makes good fluffy type mixed drinks.

Today, I slept. Oh yeah. It was great. Then I stole Chad’s truck and went to the mall. Which I found yesterday, while looking for the museums. And I found out the August Max is going out of business! I’m so buying a whole bunch of stuff from them when I go back to Huntsville. While it’s cheap. That’s some of the most comfy dress clothes ever. Ever.

And I went and visited Chad in the vendor’s room and bought me a t-shirt… it’s navy blue with this design on it. It’s so me!! They had some other shirts, including Dork Tower stuff there, too (like a shirt that said “No pain, no +1 str”), but I could only justify one. Oh well.

Now, I must try and do hmework (or goof off) for 6 or 7 hours until the game ends again (supposed to be 1am). Tomorrow we go home (not sure how early though… might stay for closing ceremonies, might not). Yay for vacations!

lol… That’s what I would do, if a hungry lion jumped at me.
