Quick one

Why is it so hard to find an apartment? Sara says it’s because we are picky, but I think it’s mostly because apartment advertisements are dishonest. They try to portray themselves in the best light including distorting maps as much as possible to appear close to everything. So I have to spend 10 minutes trying to find where each appartment actually is, only to discover its nowhere near where it says it is!

Also, didn’t plan on working on my paper tonight, but slave driver group member forced my hand.

I did get a LOT done tonight though. Grocery Store, laundry, organized guitar tabs, looked up apartment stuff, plus other little things.

I’m already dreading going to class tomorrow. 😦

I just flew in from Advanced Software System Design and boy are my arms tired

Started my new class tonight. Seems okay. I don’t think it will be too hard, but I think it will be very boring.

There was a 9 car pile up on 422 today which made my < 1 mile drive take 30 minutes. How dare they inconvenience me?

Yesterday I thought I messed up Sara’s family’s computer network when I was trying to help her over the phone…turns out it was just because her cat likes to sleep on the router and there is a loose connection!! And here I felt guilty.

Talked about apartments with Sara tonight. I have to admit, I’m getting kind of excited about it. I want her to come and visit so we can look at places. Well, that’s part of why I want her to come visit! 🙂

I lost 3 lbs. this week in the contest, for a total of 25 lbs. in 6 weeks. I’m still in first place with 2 weeks to go. I think I only need to lose like 3 lbs. to beat Preston’s all time record.

I’ve been doing tons and tons of stupid LJ quizzes and they’re awful…it’s like they’re all written by 12 year olds. Oh wait, they were.

I have been wasting time lately like it’s going out of style (and believe me, it will NEVER go out of style) but then again is it really a waste if I didn’t have anything to do? Hopefully I can find something to do this weekend. I had been pretty busy, so I guess it just feels like slacking in comparison.

I wish I had something to do so I could stop thinking about what it’s going to be like to be married.

I wish I had friends who actually posted in their journals.

Good night.

Sara’s sister got accepted to the study abroad program in Scotland, despite the fact that she was sure she wasn’t going to get in!!

Congrats Anna!

Yay!

Sara weekend is almost here! I’m only working until 11 tomorrow and then leaving right from there. I’m not sure an 8 hour drive is more exciting than 8 hours of work, but somehow, no matter how boring whatever you are doing is, it’s so much better than being at work. Anyway, 8 hours is nothing to get to spend all weekend with Sara! 😀

She got the tickets to Jesus Christ Superstar!! Most people that don’t know me well don’t know of my deep seated love of showtunes…it’s not exactly one of those things you want to admit. 🙂 JCS is my favorite of all time and I know it forwards and backwards, in 3 languages. Okay maybe not, but needless to say I’m excited to see it. As much as I love it, I’ve never actually seen it on stage, just the movie. Hardest part will be refraining from singing outloud!

My favorite JCS memory…, and I were driving back from visiting Kev in NC and me and Stacy were forcing Stevie to listen to it. Now, keep in mind Stevie has no religious backround whatsoever (which will be obvious in a moment). So it was pretty quiet in the car, but I didn’t think anybody was listening all that intently to the music. All of a sudden, Stevie goes, “Is this Judas guy going to betray Jesus??” The combination of the fact that he didn’t even know who Judas was or the basic storyline and the fact that he was listening to the words so intently was just really funny at the time. Okay well I know it doesn’t sound all that funny, but me and Stacy had a good laugh over it at the time! 😛

I pansied out and didn’t make a decision about the job today. I won’t have a choice tomorrow though. I think I’m going with the job downstairs. Life changing decisions are scary! ::Yipe!::

The final went pretty good tonight. The real final was a lot easier than the practice final. Like, when does that happen??

I should go to bed, if I could just stop staring at this…

Insomnia

/ Shane / Leave a comment

So I’ve been having mild insomnia lately. I walk around all day so exhausted that I can hardly stand up and then when it comes time to go to bed, I just can’t. So I end up staying up until 2 and then getting up at 7 again the next morning and starting it all over again. This might not seem that bad, but seriously nothing like that has ever happened to me before!! I mean this is the guy who had to get tested in a hospital for narcolepsy and sleep apnea in high school on account of all the sleeping, including a little problem I have of falling asleep while I’m driving. The sleep study found that my average time to fall asleep is under a minute. No matter how much stuff has ever been going on in my life, its lights out as soon as I hit the pillow.

Okay, had to take a timeout because my cat that was sitting in my lap apparently got fed up with my typing and just sank her teeth in my arm and held on! What the fuck? She got a nice bath with the spray bottle. I’m changing my mood icon.

So anyway…I don’t know if it’s because of the wedding, all the school stuff, the stuff going on at work, or because I’ve been thinking about Stacy so much lately. Maybe I’ve screwed my body up good with the weightless thing. (Side note, lost 7 lbs. this week for a total of 21 in 4 weeks!) Maybe the work with the night school is just getting to me…maybe I just need some time to relax.

Speaking of class, I think did well with the presentation tonight. One more class, then a week off!

I still don’t know what to do about the work situation. I had meetings with both sides today but neither helped make up my decision. Both sides paint the other position as being really unstable. I know it’s just political crap. I hate it. Right now I’m leaning towards going downstairs though, because they stuff they are working on is really cool and they have tons more development coming up than we do upstairs.

I felt lonely tonight, but only for a little bit because I didn’t really have time to be lonely. I’m really glad I’m going to get to see Sara already this weekend. I can’t imagine how great it’s going to be when she actually lives here. Oh wait, yes I can, when we were in college I saw her everyday all the time. 😛

Oh yeah, I just remembered! I think we’re going to be able to go see Jesus Christ Superstar this weekend! TOO EXCITED!

I’ve had some lame mardi gras, but this might take the cake. 🙂 I should think of something to give up for lent. Before tomorrow.

Again, it’s time to go to bed and I’m getting more awake by the second. I guess I have no choice but to go lie in bed and stare at the ceiling.

Boo.
