It occurred to me, mere seconds ago, that I have not seen a living soul today. The one person I spoke with online is someone I don't know in person, and it's completely possible I made up that conversation, as well as the various back-and-forths in the few communities I post in.

Thus, there could have been a zombie (or similar) apocalypse in the night, and I could be the only remaining survivor, already insane from loneliness.


How cool is that?

 Junior SYMS in one respect is the biggest disappointment of all time.

Why?


WHY?

...


There are no tubas.

None.

So I'm playing for 2 out of 3 ensembles... and teaching a theory class. 

Anyone who knows me understands how painful the lack of tubas is for me. It's like going to some huge convention for your favorite... whatever, and having the star speaker you paid 300 bucks for... just... not show up. Only it's WORSE!


The theory class has me really questioning whether or not I could ever make a good teacher. Any time I'm in front of them, I get tongue-tied and can't figure out what to say to explain things (today the topic was reading bass clef. That should have bean easy as pie for me). They don't seem to improve due to my impressive speeches, and, well anyway. Very stressful.

TWhat really bothers me is that if I sit with a kid for thirty seconds, I can usually get them to understand. Not to toot my own horn, but I mean it. Literally thirty seconds and I got this kid to finally understand 6/8 time, and another thirty or so  to get him started on bass clef. 


Anyway. Today was crazy hair day, and I took part in it. *grumble* unlike most of the bloody camp.*

Tomorrow is clash day. 


I have soooo muuuch crap to do in these three weeks, I should really have used this evening off to sleep or get organized, but instead.,... I watched TrueBlood. 

Note to self:


Find more icons, find different ones, change it up! PLEASE!

(-:



SYMS IS IN A FEW DAYS! I haven't even started packing yet! EEp.


I wonder how much more complicated things will be with it in the UQ/LQ... *ponders*

Further note: bombarding me with personal questions on a subject that I'm oobviously not comfortable discussing, is a method of showing you love your employees.

 Lj seems to be asleep today... Not really surprising, since it's the Fifth (suddenly I have the intense urge to watch V for Vendetta). 

Anyway, just felt like updating. I just almost accidentally rolled over Bari's face. He's fine, I just didn't realize he was underneath me, but he grumbled a warning.

Whata cuuutey! 


*so excited to be living with him in a few months*

SYMS SOON!

And I get to spend 3 more weeks in the UQ, my home for four whole years.

Leaving work at 1:30 today.

Lots of stuff to do tonight...

Gotta start packing for SYMS!!!!


(-:

Came up with a pretty spectacular idea for a Counselor skit, hopefully it pans out-- seeing as this is probably my last year of SYMS.


Do you have any idea how saddening that is? 8 years of my life...  Over by August 2. Who would I have become if I hadn't gone in 2002? Certainly not ME. Really though, I guess that can be said about anything.

Well, anyway... gonna go back to key-punching.

This has been a very philosophical morning for me... lots of deep thinking on me, and mine, and how I've changed since high school (reading old LJ entries is a strange strange experience)... it's weird being completely different and exactly the same simultaneously.

However, that's not why I'm updating:




I have green pants.

 This Saturday my geek score was altered, but I'm not entirely sure by how much, or in which direction.

How did this happen? 
I entered a fraternity building. 
Why am I unsure as to which direction the score was changed?
It was a geek frat. 


Also:
My mom got bored at work today, and measured my hair to see how long it was.

Yeah, it's the same as my pants inseam. WIN! 

(that'd be 37 inches)

So, fellow UNHers, I have good news:

YOU CAN WIN AGAINST THE EVIL FORCES OF DOOOOOOM

AKA: If you petition on ridiiiiiculous parking tickets, you can indeed lower a 400 dollar fine down to...




*drumroll*

5.

Be impressed, be very impressed.

I think I'll take that extra 395 dollars I've got sitting around now and buy myself a nice big practice mute for my new apartment. Or a wicked schmancy recording device. Hmm... Maybe I'll buy all of the Wheel of Time on audio book, or have shoes custom-made to my irritating feet. Or maybe even order some pants that are long enough

*whispers coming from my mom's office*

Wait? What?

Oh.

I don't actually have that money... or any at all...


Bummer-city, man!


PS: Mom, don't read this.
I enjoy taking the keys off my work keyboard and rearranging them. *evil laughter*

I have an apartment for next semester! And only a five-month lease!!! So while it costs a lot per-month, in the long-run, it's less expensive than pretty much anywhere else! AND fully-furnished. AND I get to keep Bari with me.

(-:

Added bonus: It comes with a bust of Dante. As in the guy who wrote The Divine Comedy.
Dad says I should put it at the highest point of the apartment, and then I can call it Dante's Peak.

Eh eh eh.

I'm interrupting my lovely pattern of entries to share my phobia with all of you.

I am absolutely terrified of insects touching my ears.  Interesting that there's a Latin term "fear of stooping," (kyphophobia) as well as Walloonphobia, but I'm fairly certain there isn't one this specific.


Anyway.


Early this morning, I finaallly went to bed at around 1. Kissed my puppy goodnight, crawled into Chris' futon (my room is not actually habitable right now), shut off the lappy, and flicked (tee hee) off the light.  It takes me a long time to fall asleep, but I was just about at that point where I was drifting and very very close to being fully out (that time where if you suddenly think "I'm about to fall asleep!" you fuly wake up, and it takes another twenty minutes at leas to relax again... or at least that's what happens with me) when I saw the reflection of a flashing green light , on the wall next to my head.

First, I thought it was the charge button on my cell phone.  

Then, I thought I was imagining it.

Then, I thought it was the light on the cellphone charger itself, and I was imagining the flickering.

and then... I heard buzzing.


And I absolutely flipped out! 

There was a firefly in my room... IN MY HAIR. WHICH IS NEXT TO MY EAR! 



I now feel completely justified that I sleep with a blanket wrapped around my face.


And fricken Bari was no help at all!  He just looked at me like "ooh, pretty colors."

*scowls*


Going to Aunt Bev's this afternoon!!!!!!!

Ohmigosh!  ANOTHER FRIEND IS GETTING MARRIED!

and... I decided I would instead post this "tomorrow" because I like my patterns.
