Last Thoughts   *grin*

This has been a great winter break so far and surprisingly stress-free. I'm really looking forward to the new year too. I love beginnings. There's always something very exciting about them. I will blog more later, but for now, I will lie in bed patiently waiting for the blue gel capsule to kick in. (Sleeping aids work best for me if I don't try to counteract their progress with activity.)

So the real question is, why am I not sleepy? I woke up at 8am this morning after getting 4 hours of sleep...

I'm so hungry I'm about to collapse. 10 minutes till the pizza is done. I'm so sleepy I'm about to collape. 10 minutes till I zonk out completely.

Oh, the conundrum...

lYNdAlN: Because your body decided at an inconvenient and non-soap-conserving time it needed to release the beast.
XY: I dont wash my hands after I pee
XY: I like barely have to AIM it, & besides - I wash my penis througly
XY: I really doubt its dirty
lYNdAlN: HAHAHAHA.
XY: clean penis
lYNdAlN: You've GOT to be joking.
lYNdAlN: The penis is in a warm, slightly damp space with little exposure to light.
lYNdAlN: PERFECT BREEDING FOR GERMS.
XY: Well... my penis isnt damp
lYNdAlN: I know.
lYNdAlN: But it's in a poorly ventilated space.
XY: my loins dont sweat when I walk
XY: haha
lYNdAlN: And though you might not feel the moisture, it's there.
XY: yea - well anyways ... relitavely clean - when I barely have to touch it to aim - my hands are probably more dirty than my penis
XY: touching railings & desks all day
XY: THATS dirty
lYNdAlN: I'll bet if you used that moisture content device in lab and stabbed your pants in the crotch area, it would give you a rating.
XY: I doubt it
lYNdAlN: I know, because it gave a rating from my friend's shirt.
lYNdAlN: And he wasn't sweating.
XY: I hate to break this too you - but our ENTC lab and all the tools in it - are about WWII technology level
XY: if you notice, that METER is in a wooden box
lYNdAlN: Not ours!
lYNdAlN: What fucked up meter did you use?
XY: Everything has moisture, even a piece of paper or some shit
lYNdAlN: I know!
lYNdAlN: You just proved my point.
XY: no cause you said "damp"
XY: thats a HIGH moisture content
XY: relatively speaking, its dry.
XY: Vaginas are another story
XY: "Hey Bertrand, I decided to do a different lab..." *Hands him paper MOISTURE CONTENT OF MALE/FEMALE GENITALS*
lYNdAlN: I stand corrected on the damp issue.

Last Thoughts   Are my library fees put to good use...?

I am so irritated with Evans. I went in expecting to walk out with six books. I only found one -- I even looked at all the "overflow" and "to be reshelved" racks. I know they're not checked out (unless they got by the system somehow), so apparently the remaining five books I wanted to read are missing, mis-shelved, or by some freak chance, one to five other persons desired to check them all out at the EXACT same moment that I did. Anyway, I ended up filling out five requests for the staff to search for the MIA books.

Oh well. It's a good thing I didn't need these books for class. And it's an even better thing that I actually found Shopgirl because at least I can dive into that tonight. But BAH -- I'm still pretty disappointed.

It would be nice to keep the door shut to the real world for just a little longer.

Times New Roman is your bag. You are proper, have good grammar and may occasionally use Italics...

Still on an unofficial blogging sabbatical, I suppose. But I had a wonderful Halloween weekend. :o)

Saw RENT last night. I couldn't concentrate on the first 30 minutes of it either. So many things on my mind that I nearly got up and left.

After a few hours of sleep and some perspective, the best I can come up with is, what's going on?

... been getting a lot of whys, why nots, and general reminders regarding my lack of recent entries. Wish I had a better response than a simple "I know," but that's pretty much it. I know.

Last Thoughts   Mmm...

The problem with keeping up with a blog is just that -- keeping up with it. It's been over a month since I've written an entry that is purely my own, and so much has happened since then. My trip to Boston, MA, my weekend with XY in Newport, RI, the blurry lines with XY and myself regarding our "friendship," the tumultuous desire for independence from my parents, the path of isolation I chose to take because, for a while, the excess of social contact just made me so tired.

I had intended to include a blog of all this before classes started this semester, to reflect on those events -- and others -- that happened the latter part of my summer. The problem is that trying to figure out what to say now when I haven't had a chance to think -- really think -- in such a long time is equivalent to watching the bus pull away just before one arrives at the bus stop. Now it just seems silly. What's happened has happened, and if the process through which one deals with these events has already begun, or, in some cases is already complete, there's no sense in going back. In other words, there's nothing to reflect on... Everything has already become a part of me.

So, yeah, three weeks after the fact, it's time to close up shop for summer 2002.

Which Avril Lavigne Song Are You?

Wednesday, August 28 ( 1:43 AM )

XY: its the same way i felt senior year of HS. i've been here long enough to learn what i can from people, its time to move on
XY: oddly thats probaby the reason i came to school here
XY: certain things still spark my interest (like getting to know you in HS) but overall its just a waste of my time and this is probably why i will never get married
lYNdAlN: Explain the last part.
XY: marriage?
lYNdAlN: Yeah.
XY: i get bored with my close friends why wouldnt i get bored with someone i share everything with
lYNdAlN: Have you noticed that about our friendship?
XY: no offense but our friendship since i've known you has constantly been in flux
lYNdAlN: No offense taken.
lYNdAlN: Remember...
lYNdAlN: We have talked about this before.
lYNdAlN: So it's no surprised it's been withering.
XY: lynda i'm about to crash but your friendship has been the most interesting of any i've had. you haven't let me get away with stuff and you have also been the most forgiving and yet with XY its been the same friendship. between me and you it has changed a lot since i first started to know you senior year and well maybe thats what i would require in a wife but who knows
lYNdAlN: I see.
lYNdAlN: I think I see what you're saying...
lYNdAlN: Well, goodnight for now then...
XY: and because of that i value your friendship the most and yes it is time for bed. have a good day tomorrow and depending on what happens in my life i'll try to call you soon

How I Feel           Uncertain, confused
Last Thoughts   I don't know what to do...

It's 2 AM, and I am seconds away from falling asleep. But in the back of my mind, it lingers. Is it really any of his business? We've broken up, what could I possibly owe him now? Do I tell him -- or should some things just be left alone? And how do I know what is worthy of being shared and what should belong in a dusty box behind the closet door people forget to look into? And I wonder... If I did say something, would he even care?

I'm scared that answer would be no. I'm scared to experience that moment of truth. Because I know. I know that deep down, it meant more to me than it did to him. So I will smile. And he won't know...

But on the inside, the realization that I am still living among strangers tears me apart. Day by day.

Last Thoughts   Where's the sleep?

After an hour or so of reading, I finished my book tonight. I then turned off the lights to lie awake for another hour, in bed, listening. To the cars driving past the house. To the occasional bark of the neighbor's dog. To the faint humming of the air conditioner downstairs. To the settling of the floorboards in the hallway.

To the sounds that usually pass unnoticed as the rest of the world eases into tender drowsiness.

I would normally say that insomnia is a real bitch. A minute passes. Your mind races. The pillow feels hot. You try to be still. But the chaos builds. And suddenly, the sheets are suffocating you. Maybe the left side. Maybe the right. Maybe on your back. A toss. A turn. Which is it?

But not tonight. Tonight things are different. I like the stillness. The quiet soothes me. And the chaos? There is none.

Last Thoughts   Blog first, sleep next.

... I'm trying to figure out what the current state of my bedroom, study, and bathroom -- the three rooms in which I spent the most time in -- say about me.

My bedroom, in plain view... if not on the floor:

Nike running shoes Adidas running shoes a copy of The Sexual Life of Catherine M. black five-inch diva boots Altoids Curiously Strong Citrus Sours charcoal messenger bag a copy of Para Que No Me Olivides Spanish dictionary body pillow Spanky brown zip-up boots Hallmark Gold Crown bag class notes from summer session I Bandolini sandals Guess purse cordless phone Dell catalog denim/rhinestone flip flops

The study, on the PC desk... if not on the floor:

Barnes & Noble bag BookStop bag College Bookstore bag a copy of The Unfinished Nation Sonic Wacky Pack Kids Meal toy XX's postcard from Caen, France Estee Lauder lipstick, eyeshadow and mascara telephone number and e-mail address of XX framed photo of XY and me Bath & Body Works bag Steve Maddens Gap flip flops Aggie 12th Man towel bottle of OPI nail polish, Shanghai Shimmer two Beanie Babies, Nanook and Wrinkles Neutrogena lotion Mint Skittles

The bathroom counter, oh boy...

D'oh. I have two things to say about this: One, I'm almost afraid to have people judge me by the contents of my surroundings! Two, I just realized how cool I truly am (notice the sarcasm dripping from each word) -- that I took the time to itemize the rooms in the house... :o\

Last Thoughts   To sleep or to study?

So I have an exam to take and a lab report due tomorrow in physics, and I am wondering why I waited till now to do something about it. That is, if chatting on IM counts as doing something about it. *sheepish look*

My instructor for physics is too cute. He's this frail, old Indian man who speaks VERY quickly with a thick accent. So today in class -- after I showed up 45 minutes late (that's another story, haha) -- he's reviewing everyone for tomorrow's exam. Anyway, I nearly choked laughing because twenty-five minutes into working out a problem, he says, "And see, when we solve for r we will find that it equals... OH MY GOD! There are TWO unknowns! Oh hell, I don't know anymore."

... mmm, some other things I feel like mentioning:

There are doggy kisses and doggy noseprints on the inside of my car window. Saturday, XY and I took Symba to Meyer Park where he very enthusiastically chased the ducks into the pond. Then he and I -- XY, not Symba -- went swinging on the swingset... It was so much fun. I haven't felt that carefree and crazy in a long time.

XY and I talked last night -- really talked -- and it was just like old times. God, it felt so great to talk to him. I got this incredible rush from it, and I still have butterflies in my stomach. Sometimes I wonder if there's ever a chance that he and I wou... Ugh! No, now's not a time to get all nostalgic and poignant. Lynda. C'mon. This isn't a Bronte novel. :o)

Never a dull moment at work either. Apparently we have teamed up with the DEA to catch another dope fiend... I asked XX how she would feel testifying against XY -- he's always a very cordial and loyal customer -- and to my amusement, her face light up. Slightly cackling, she said with glee, "I would LOVE to testify against him. I'm going to look him in the eye and point my finger gladly... 'That's him, that's him!'" Lol.

I say.......... "Eh, un poco... I studied it for a few years."
He says.... "What's your faith?"
I say.......... "I'm Buddhist."
He says.... "Ah... So you're not Mexican?"
[pause]
I say.......... "I'm Vietnamese."
I think........ Damn, this light is taking a long time to turn green.
He says.... "Well I know how to say cam on, but that's it."
I think........ Stick to English, white dude.
He says.... "Say, are you going to heaven?"
I think........ Oh brother...
I say.......... "Well I hope so!"
He says.... "Well you know if you are Christian you are."
I stare at him blankly.
I think........ I wonder if it's too late to take my dollar bill back.
He says.... "I'm sorry, I don't mean to insul..."
I say.......... "I'm sorry. I am not interested. Thank you though."
He hands me a religious flyer.

XY: spurs jinglin'
lYNdAlN: Really?
lYNdAlN: That's awesome!
XY: saying 'howdy' to all the '06 kids
lYNdAlN: New Student Conferences?

XY: people always asking me where stuff is
XY: since I got the boots on it makes me a campus map
lYNdAlN: Hahaha!

XY: did ya eat?
lYNdAlN: My pizza is ready.
XY: yeah well I have a ice cream bar
lYNdAlN: Lol.

lYNdAlN: I don't feel so good.
XY: poor baby
XY: *pats head*
lYNdAlN: :o(
lYNdAlN: I'll probably feel better with some food.
XY: ill kiss it and make it better
lYNdAlN: I wish!

lYNdAlN: I wish I could visit!
lYNdAlN: It looks so pretty.

XY: you could stay with us
lYNdAlN: Would that be possible?
XY: getting here is the issue
XY: theres plenty of room
XY: my apartment is huge
lYNdAlN: Where would I fly into?
XY: ive got 2 roomates for the summer
XY: rdu
XY: raleigh/durham
lYNdAlN: You know... I might take you up on that...
lYNdAlN: I have a free week in August, but that's right before you guys start school.
lYNdAlN: I don't know how hectic that will be.
XY: you can come
XY: its fine with me
XY: but im gonna be home until the 24th
XY: or so
lYNdAlN: Really?
lYNdAlN: Hmm...
lYNdAlN: I don't know if I can come then now!
lYNdAlN: Bah.
XY: hmm
XY: do you have a fall break?
lYNdAlN: Nope.
lYNdAlN: Fall breakdown maybe.

lYNdAlN: So what's going on there?
XY: not much, XY is coming down so we are going to go relax up there and drink beer for the weekend
lYNdAlN: Bros, booze, and babes!

XY: yeah, just need the babes part
lYNdAlN: With booze it will come.
XY: lmao
XY: no, booze usually makes them run away

lYNdAlN: Not if they are boozed too.
XY: true
XY: but then they just use you for your booze
lYNdAlN: LOL!
lYNdAlN: Well it's a fair trade-off.
lYNdAlN: Boobs for booze.
lYNdAlN: Booze for boobs.
XY: lmao!!!!!!

Last Thoughts   Just another day...

I went out to eat with XY tonight at Bennigan's and ordered a "Death By Chocolate Martini." The waitress didn't card me, and I wonder why, especially since law requires employees to card anyone who appears to be under the age of 40... Oh well, it wouldn't have mattered anyway because I only had a few sips. Yeah, I didn't like it at all. However, coming from a lightweight such as myself (who thinks management should rename it the "Death by Alcohol Martini"), that shouldn't stop the next person from trying it. :o)

After dinner, we watched Road to Perdition. Excellent film.

[edit @ 1:19 AM] Y también compré un libro hoy de BookStop -- Para que no me Olvides -- por Marcela Serrano. Espero que pueda terminarlo; estoy nerviosa porque mis capacidades de leer y entender espanol son débiles. En realidad, sé no puedo comenzar leer el libro ahora -- no tengo el tiempo porque mi horario es una poca complicada... ¿Ay, por que lo había comprado? Eh, tal vez más tarde.

Me gustaría leerlo después de completar las clases de la segunda sesión pero antes de mudarme a CS en el otoño.... Lo leeré durante del mi viaje a New England en el fin de agosto. [/edit]

Last Thoughts   MY DAY OFF, WHOOP!

XY: You will live in Apartment.
XY: You will drive a green focus svt.
XY: You will marry lynda and have 57 kids.
XY: You will be a billionaire playboy in LA

XY: we must have had lots of unprotected sex
XY: or adopted a lot with my money
lYNdAlN: LOL.
lYNdAlN: I say the former.
XY: so you want to give birth 57 times
lYNdAlN: D'oh. I wasn't thinking about that.
lYNdAlN: THANKS XY.
lYNdAlN: That ruins it!
XY: im just saying we adopted the kids and still had lots of sex
XY: so no going through labor
XY: or carrying 57 kids for 9 months
lYNdAlN: I'll go for that then.
XY: sex is better when no kids have come out
lYNdAlN: That makes me think that the kids are falling out of a pant leg or something.
