today's rating: 3....sick and stuff
exhausted. tired. run down. is energyless a word? so today's the day Fate has declared my one sick day for the year, huh? i never get sick. i have the white blood ceels and anitbodies of a stallion....well, a healthy one anyway.
youth and innocence i was waved at yesterday. who would've thought a raise of the arm, and a close of the palm would mean so much? or so little? on two separate occasions, a young child waved at me without any prompting on my part. it was kinda weird. whevenever i'm walking around campus, everyone's busy heading off in their own direction with their head down as if to avoid the chance that someone else expects a sociable reply. maybe little kids just aren't as busy as we are. or maybe we just don't know what's important in our life: the things we do at the places we go, or the people around us whether we know them or not
girlspace update so i saw my girlspacefriend again tuesday. totally unexpected. i think i said "hey" and she said "hey" and then i kept walking. funny how feelings change.
and in case you wanted to know how to jump from a moving car.....(according to The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook)
1) Apply the emergency brake.
2) Open the car door.
3) Make sure you jump at an angle that will take you out of the path of the car.
4) Tuck in your head and your arms and legs
5) Aim for a soft landing site: grass, brush, wood chips, anything but pavement - and a tree
6) Roll when you hit the ground
dammit....open the dooooor....i knew i forgot something

today's rating:average-ish
anything special happen today? nothing special, but i was a little more productive today than yesterday
comment on something i came across today:
It seems Oprah Winfrey has denied a request by President Dubya to sojourn to Afghanistan. and people are suprised by this? as if Oprah Winfrey would leave her cushy palatial estate and her beloved Stedman to go trod around some decrepid country we bombed to pieces? honestly....who's surprised by this? i want names....
now for something completely different.....
maybe i should've gone to the University of Central Arkansas....maybe i could've met sophomore miss Alexis Weeks - UCA's, um, Miss UCA 2002. she's quite the young lovely. here's a link to UCA's newspaper with her pic...i dunno how long it will stay up though. but wait! it gets better.... it seems miss Weeks has a checkered past. pay special attention to 6/24/2001 at 12:06am. arrested by a bike cop...how humiliating is that? .....and i thought beauty queens were supposed to be Lil Miss Perfect's.
thesis i wish i had thought of first: those crazy lobos.....
man, college is a trip.....

today's rating: does it really matter?
what an incredibly lazy day. apparently it was nice outside today...like 70 and sunny or something. i wouldn't know. i spent the day inside my apartment, with the only hint of the outside being the sun shining through the dust-covered blinds. i was so absolutely not motivated to do anything today. and i enjoyed every minute of it.
i thought i was unique. i thought i had my own thoughts that were so radically different from everyone else. evidently i fall into what people call "normal." i usually only go home about once every two weeks or so, usually just to do my laundry and get some food. now don't get me wrong...i'm not some pathetic 22 yr old kid who can't do laundry. i do my laundry at home because a) i don't hafta pay 75 cents a load, and b) it basically reminds me in my busy schedule that it's time to visit the parentals.
so i got into this discussion about how weird a feeling i have everytime i go home. cuz it doesn't really seem like home. neither does my apartment at school. it all feels like i'm living in a hotel. that i'm just stayin for a while and will eventually check out by the 11am deadline. not that i don't feel comfortable at these places, but i just don't think i know what "home" feels like. maybe it's cuz we moved every four years when i was younger. so now i'm screwed for the rest of my life....woo hoo
yeah...so, um....i was sayin how i always felt like a visitor...like i'm just biding my time til the next thing comes along. it's easy when you're little. you go to school. that's it. nothing else to worry about. elementary, middle, high school....college. it's spelled out for you. but now what? grad school? job? marriage? family? now i'm faced with all kinds of choices that will haunt me for the rest of my life. reminds me of that black mark on my permanent record i got in 2nd grade for throwing a pen at jimmy thompson.
none of it really matters. we are who we are, and for the most part, the choices we make, we make based on what they'll do for us now. so i don't know what i want to do for the next five years. big deal. i've prolonged my stay at Georgia Tech for six years....and it's not even a fun school. i'm in no hurry to get a job. i'm in no hurry to do anything.....and i love lazy days like today.

today's rating: 6.something
so they say today's easter, huh? i beg to differ. mr. bunnykins never came to my house bearing gifts of molded lactose-laden processed cocoa beans. it's the first time in 22 years that i have awoken on an easter sunday without boxes of marshmallow peeps and jelly beans awaiting to be consumed in my sugary breakfast.
there's just something wrong about not getting a chocolate easter rabbit for easter. maybe it's better this way tho. apparently chocolate is bad for you, but it's even worse for your pets. it seems that the lethality of chocolate depends on the concentration of the extract from the original bean. milk chocolate is safer than dark chocolate, which is safer than baking choclate. according to Kirk and Bistner's Handbook of Veterinary Procedures and Emergency Treatment (6th edition), the lethal dose of milk chocolate for a 50lb dog is 50 oz.
if we extrapolate this 1lb to 1 oz of milk chocolate ratio to myself, i would die if i ate 190 ounces of milk chocolate. that is equivalent to 11 and 7/8 pounds of solid milk chocolate bunnies.
according to some random website i found, americans eat about 11.5 pounds of chocolate a year. so i should be pretty safe. but those crazy 22 pounds a year swiss may wanna watch out!
the real enemy is not the chocolate, but a basic component - theobromine. according to Hershey's, "In domestic animals, especially dogs, chocolate may harm the heart, kidneys and central nervous system. This is because dogs metabolize theobromine, a naturally occurring substance in chocolate, very slowly. The effect of theobromine on dogs and some other pets is serious. It carries the same risk as does a dog's consumption of other common household items such as coffee, tea, cola beverages and certain houseplants."
yeah......so, ummm....who's been feeding their dog Earl Grey?
