More fun than a pipe and a glass of scotch

WEEL...

WEEL, i don't remember when i last updated this little slice of hell, but this week has been all right.

Sunday - "Working" on colloquium project... dissolved into slacking off and going to a little shindig at Silver Seafood Restaurant in a part of the city I've never even been near. A return home and sitting around.

Monday - a "day off" which consisted of house arrest, working on translation and copious amounts of boredom.

Tuesday - Standard Tuesday (on a Monday schedule)... crappy asshole sub in computer class that was the cause of much hilarity; Calc that made me happy due to its large amount of ME UNDERSTANDING IT. Spanish class that filled me with sadness due to a crappy practice test.

Wednesday - AP Euro, kind of meh... AP enviro, lots of time wasted; Brit Lit, fun as always. One of the best games of BF1942 ever.

Thursday - Spanish was filled with much bleh, but it's all good. Calc was pretty good, since I UNDERSTAND STUFF NOW. Computer class dissolved into a whole lotta nothin', but was entertaining all the same. Stage crew for a short time, and a return home.

Today - Brit Lit: good. AP Enviro: boring. AP Euro: DBQ and so difficult. After school: TNT, which was fun... i went over and ended up overpaying by two bucks... bought some füd at McDonald's (yeah, whatev...) and came to crew an hour late... fiddled around with lights and then ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE FOR ME. Being a first-timer on the light board, my superiors had set the light board up so that I'd merely have to press a "GO" button repeatedly to have different cues that Ms. Mulligan (AGH) called out to me. Of course, she found something incorrect about the lighting, and asked me to manually reset 14 cues before the show started (10 minutes). Being a first-timer, I had to actually call my superior up on le phone and have him walk me through it... and yet all hell continued to break loose, because randomly, cues stopped working and I had to manually do everything. I was very glad that the performance lasted only an hour, because FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SUCH TRAUMA HAS NEVER BEEN FELT BY ME. The sheer feeling of ignorance and helplessness when someone's telling you to do complex things on a piece of equipment you know nothing about is frustrating, to say the least, and so I was at the peak of insanity. Got a ride home, though... an INSANE ride, which made everything almost good.

And now I sit online, a bit lonely (COME ON, SEMI-ANGSTY TEEN HERE... MOODY IS SYNONYMOUS WITH IT) and hoping a certain someone will actually find time to talk to me sometime soon.

On a completely different note, I remember walking home yesterday and thinking about how ridiculously disgusting snow becomes after it's been sitting around for a while. Either it melts away a bit, revealing patches of dead grass or asphalt that stick out like ugly sores, or it gets so cold that it all freezes into one mass that looks like someone glazed the entire surface. Then there's roadside snow, which always turns some sort of sickly shade of grey, usually some sort of black sludge foudn on the roadways proper. Walking home today, I realized that even though it was short-lived, the snow we have known as nice-looking ever since our childhood may not last long, but it sure is "pretty" anyway. Eh, it's a question of capturing a good memory and living in the moment, I guess.

Enough of my idiotic ruminations... there is no redeeming factor in this thing for all my blithering stupidity, so if you even bothered to read this far, I pity you more than I hate myself. Which is a lot.
