Oh man, I poured myself a bowl of cereal and a TOY fell out. How often does that happen anymore??? Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet.
My cam show tonight went for a while, as they do 
We were discussing politics at the end, naked of course. I don’t go into specifics because the last time I was in on a debate, it ended with one guy threatening to beat up another guy… it was scary. Soooo you can make your own assumptions.
I’ve been pretty tired all day, so I’m going to call it a night, so I hope everyone has a nice Labor Day 
Labor Day means NO work.
I went furniture shopping for most of today… no, really! Not for me, for my friend I mentioned earlier that was moving into her new place. It turns out she needs a new couch, so we hit at least 4 different furniture stores just… sitting on couchs, mostly. There was a nice formal one that we liked at the first store, but finally decided on a brown couch with reclining seats. It’s niiiiiiiiice. And apparently these places will reupholster them in whatever fabric you want. I want to learn how to reupholster stuff, it sounds like a cool way to make all your furniture match hahaha I’m imagining cheap folding chairs slathered in red fabric, if I had my way.
Today I got a ton of work done as well, so I hope you see the fruits of my labor soon
I leave you with a picture:
I like this one because my chest looks big 
My life is cursed, and woe is me, angst, etc.! I got through the whole skating session without falling too badly (usually just wobbling from not stopping correctly, and allowing myself to fall down softly so I can start over), and then RIGHT as I was getting off the rink, I fell soooooooo badly that I just managed to get out and sit down before I had to stop everything and wait for my ass to stop hurting I haven’t checked in a few hours, but I fear there will be a bruise. It is hours later and it still hurts to sit… but at least it’s not shooting pains down my leg anymore I think my skills have improved though!
I’m reading The Martian Chronicles now, by Ray Bradbury. It’s basically about colonizing Earth in a series of stages. I thought the most interesting parts were the beginning when the first ships came and interacted with Martians. It’s also interesting to think about how science fiction ages, especially because at the time the book was written, we didn’t know there wasn’t anything on Mars… we’re still alone in the universe…
I’ve been grazing on food all day (by “food” I mean “gummi bears”), but my massive water bottle is keeping me happy and hydrated. I think my skin looks better with all this water! Smoother
And I haven’t posted a picture in a while, so here ya go, in case you forgot what I look like:
I am filled with wonder and excitement today.
Sometimes I feel that the feeling of discovery is such a precious one that it cannot be shared with anyone. I had an opportunity after a revelation to share it with someone. I almost did, opened my mouth to do so, then kind of gave up. I feel that sometimes I cannot express what I want to in words, because the thoughts are swirling around in my head too quickly to speak. Once I speak I’m forced to slow down what I’m thinking and at that point the discovery is not going as quickly and orgasmically as I’d like. And sometimes you think a good thought and the situation you’re in is too mundane for the other person to realize. Language is about synchronization, and trying to get someone to a point that I’m at takes too much time and effort when I’m already completely synchronized with myself.
But ask me to define something in at least 200 words and I’m completely stumped. I speak short thoughts, boiled down to a perfect answer. I tend not to ramble anywhere except my head. Huh.
I got a SIPPY CUP!!! I was out and about and THIRSTY. Like paaarched. And I usually only ever drink water when I’m sitting down and it’s in a glass in front of me, or to the side or whatever. So I hopped into my local outdoorsy type store and headed straight for the hardcore camping water bottles. I wanted a 64oz sippy cup, as if they exist, and I got instead a 32oz (it was the largest they haddd) bottle with a straw you have to bite to get the water to come out. I think it’s pretty cool. I drank all 32oz in an hour. See, with this, I will be able to get all eight cups of water a day. Drinking through a plastic straw feels way better than drinking out of a glass. Just like hot chocolate is had out of a mug, and chicken wings are best eaten with your fingers. It just tastes better. The least amount of material between me and the food, the better.
Anyway, that was an ode to my new water bottle, because it is AMAAAAAAAZING.
Ummmmmmm so as it turns out, you should probably try to get acquainted with the ice after a year of not being on it (and not being any good to start) before jumping into learning “moves” like weaving your legs and doing “dips” (like squatting and gliding at the same time for no reason whatsoever). I think the first move should be learning how to stop, and they tried to teach me, they really did. It just uhh didn’t take. First of all, you have to slide your foot out and actually scrape the ice. Which involves taking the weight off one foot. See, now, that’s not really gonna work because I’m too afraid I’m going to fall over. And I DID. TWICE. RAAAA. Even when I got up the confidence I couldn’t do it :’( I’m going to try really really hard next time! I WILL conquer this. I can see myself being all cool on the ice, I just have to actually, er, get there.
Also, the ice rink is a really long walk, so I get to listen to my audiobooks on the way there. Hell yeah.
I have
THE INTERNEEEEEEET
The guy said he would show up “between 8:30 and 10:30″ so I woke up at 9:30 and he showed up AT 10:30 grrrr. I had to go out this morning to sign up for ice skating and listen to the information so I was late for it cause of this guy. I think I annoyed him because the cord he gave me kept failing and I made him go get another one because he said it “must” be my computer. I don’t THINK so. I would’ve hooked it all up myself if he just handed me the stuff.
Anyway, ice skating looks fun and there’s a lot to learn. I can either buy my own skates or rent them every time. What should I do????
I also found out that my best friend isn’t, like, dead or anything. Which is good. I was worried about her because she hadn’t gotten online or answered her phone or talked to me in a month… so that’s good.
Did you hear that? She thinks I’m CUUUUUUUUUTE!
Yeah that was a good line from RUDOLPH. My favorite Christmas special. WESLEY CRUSHER (RAAAAAAAAAAA) has no business saying it. Except this girl was like “it’s a good thing you’re cute or else I’d find you annoying” yeah well I find him annoying and I also don’t think he’s cute. Okay so I’m watching Star Trek, obviously, and once again this episode has a B-plot revolving around Wesley. Agghghghghghghghghhhh.
Anyway, today I exercised for some unknown period of time, but I went like… 100 somethings on the distance readout thing. Yeah I’m not good with distance even when it’s being displayed to me.
I need to go shopping for things other than groceries now I wanna go to the stoooore!!
I loooove mozzarella sticks. That is all.
So you might know that I work all day every day… no, not really… well, I suppose it’s the first thing I do in the morning, and the last thing I do before bed, so people tell me I “work all day.” But I take breaks to do things… like eat… I got some new cereal and fruits and I’m eating delicious plums. I’m helping one of my friends move into her new apartment, so there’s that. I guess now I have more companionship that before, because sometimes it’s tough not knowing a lot of people.
Anyway, these upcoming weeks are going to be really busy for me, as I have some things to catch up on, as well as making new appointments. I have an appointment today, for example… just the doctor. I gotta find a way to get more water in me a day or face these new migraines. I don’t think I’ve had a lot of water at any point in my life, so who knows? Not me…
The swing version of Wonderwall is the only real version, by the way…
Today is a good day, I feel. The days are long, the nights are warm, and it’s generally more quiet here at this time of year. Which is amazing, because you know how busy it gets here. There’s always a background hum, but nothing is too rowdy. Sometimes I’m so zoned into what I’m doing that I lose everything else and I’ve completely wired myself into the system. I love systems and micromanaging. I have real problems micromanaging my time, though. I want to do everything and be everywhere at once, and run things and have it all go smoothly. I feel sometimes I get lazy, but other times, I’m just working on some other task that someone has asked me to do. Cooking is often a problem for me. I like to spend an hour making something, but where is the time??? My hobbies come in fits and starts. Other people’s memories go on forever, as they ask me “whatever happened to such-and-such” but I just keep moving forward, still going… my life is not made up of the things that I’ve done, but the mindset that I’m in, and the thoughts that I’m thinking. I can go to the park and wander around and look at the trees, but what matters is that I reached out and touched the leaves and thought “Isn’t this wonderful.”
Maybe I ramble toooo much.
