well, i guess if the up and down is sinusoidal, then it is consistent in a sense ;-)
can you do a Fourier series on your emotions?

last year's february was horrific for me.

we're starting this year off with a superbowl party, and i plan to get toasted and chat, rather than watch football. ^.^

here's hoping the trend of awesome and friends continues!

[mood | wild]

the rain is glorious and wind-driven and big.

and it drove into my zip-up sweatshirt and blew the hood off my head and glinted in the street lights and i had to run.

and the wet burst from the balls of my feet as i splashed through sidewalk squares and my lungs panted with joy in the dark.

i stood with my arms out and let the sky fall on my face and run down my cheeks and i felt...

seriously? [Dec. 24th, 2008|03:42 am]
[mood | mystified]

so i got back to my parents' house today. i didn't have a key - one of them is almost always home.

i rang the bell - no answer. knocked on the door - nothing. i knew mom was at work, but had expected dad (and my brother) to be home. called corey... he picks up.

"hey, are you at home?"

"no, but dad is. i saw him playing on mom's computer before i left. if you walk around to the side of the house you can knock on the window."

okay, i'm not walking. i'm lazy. and there's no way he can't hear the doorbell. i call his cell phone anyway. it doesn't even ring - he turns it off sometimes. i call the house phone - the answering machine picks up. okay, seriously?? i ring the doorbell a couple more times, kick the door some more. after like, TEN times, the HOUSEKEEPER who comes over occasionally comes downstairs and lets me in. i apologize for interrupting her (didn't realize she was there) and go to yell at dad.

"dad. what the fuck. why didn't you answer the freaking door?!"

he looked at me. literally the words that came out were: "i'm in a raid."


.... FAIL. i can't believe my parents (my dad, anyway, although i don't exactly hold out hope for mom) are such gamers that they won't answer the door for me!!

weeee! [Dec. 7th, 2008|11:34 pm]
[mood | sleepy]

so when midnight hits i'll have had 8 hours of sleep in the last 65. honestly, i'm kind-of proud at this point. lol.

mostly i was up trying to finish a final project for school (c++ coding when you don't know it is HARD). also jon and kellie's anniversary party was this weekend. and in general i just didn't make up for sleep.

something i've noticed, being awake a LOT and spending a good deal of that time in my room (mostly coding) -- my cats are SUPER cuddly. i don't know if they're just going through a phase or what, but i don't think i ever realized what lap cats they are. maybe i'm just running around too much a lot of the time to realize. in general, this makes me super happy. ^.^

that was really all. i'm probably going to go pass out now, because i've got work in the morning.

oh... um, choir concert coming up in a week. anyone interested? if i buy more than 5, they are only $10 each. try and let me know before wednesday so i can get them. =)

my lunch today [Oct. 28th, 2008|01:39 pm]
[mood | quixotic]

i got a tuna sandwich.

it was free.

i thought it was turkey, so i was disappointed when i realized it was tuna.

but i ate it anyway, 'cause it was free.

and when i ate it, i remembered that i always think of skiing when i eat tuna.

so then i was happy.

the end.

useless complaining [Oct. 20th, 2008|10:20 am]
[mood | tired]

so, i know i'm *supposed* to be to work by 6am.

and i know i basically never am. so it seems a lot like i don't complain, but really it's just that i never get here that early.

but now things have conspired to make it so that i actually have to be here that early.

and now i am complaining. >.<

have been up for 5 hours already today! and it's not looking like it's going to stop anytime this week. feh. of course this occurs the week my parents are visiting, when really i'd like to take one or two days *off*. =/

ah, well.

this weekend was excellent.

started off friday evening with some hours at home to take care of stuff that i traditionally put off as much as possible. choir rehearsal was good - learned a lot of music, got a better feeling for the songs as a whole. awesome hangouts & meeting folks in the later evening.

saturday was rugby! it was a gorgeous day. and we fucking kicked their asses. the gloating feeling only makes me feel a little bit guilty. =P and it will fade quickly, i know. but still. it's nice to kinda bask in the winning sensation. also i scored three times. sweeeet.

then drinkup at my place, which went better than i thought it would, even though the other team ditched us. then coffee, which was good. ^.^ then dinner (hot pot!) with ingrid and jon, which was very good because i haven't seen them in forever. good to chat. and then i hung out w/ becky for a bit at a party, where we made a terrible pumpkin drink in some attempt to win (hah) a competition, and then went to cherry. i honestly don't think i've ever been to cherry. very good times. ran into a random coworker of mine. he is hysterical. i'm not sure how drunk he was. it's weird - this particular guy i run into ALL THE TIME outside of work, despite the fact that (as far as i know) we share no interests or groups of friends. in any case. drinks bought for me, even if i weighted the deck a bit, and that was fun as well, as it happens fairly rarely.

sunday morning = sleeping in, and then getting sean, ingrid, and jon for some morning brunch. and again, the weather is astounding. the only thing lame about today is that now i'm at work and i have to stay here 'till 10. >.< this is especially lame today because i think we are going to finish this test within about a half-hour. and even if i spend like an hour cleaning up and doing other random things, it's going to be a very long second half, here. ah, well. maybe i'll call my manager... see if she'll let us all go the hell home. that would be awesome. i literally have a list of songs i want to practice on rock band. ... oooo, or i could buy rock band 2. that would be kickass. hm. dammit, i shouldn't be getting my hopes up. and now i'm just rambling. time to go back to testing and get this damn thing finished.

it was weird to see this, have a moment of panic and shock wondering if it was someone i knew, and then glance at my cell phone to see that it was 11:11.

i can't believe i saw her.

i can't believe i saw her in person.

i can't believe i saw her in person, singing.

in person, singing "still alive", with jonathan coulton.

seriously, i think a part of me holds to the belief that i can die happy now.

*exasperated sigh* why can't i meet girls like that?!
