-passes out-
So, yes, today. You'll have to excuse me, I'm quite out of breath and light-headed. But I'll get to that in a second. Let's start at the beginning.
Got up this morning, what seems like a very long time ago. I got my Diffy Q homework done, went to class, fun stuff. After class I went up to Disabilities for work. Bonnie didn't have anything for me to do, really, so I sat there and answered phones. Luckily, the phones don't ring that mjch. Unfortunately, when they do people are on the other end. I don't like phones. They intimidate me.
Apparently, though, I'm going to be working with this girl, Eaddie (or something -- I didn't see how it was spelled, but it makes me think 'Edith'). Anyways, she came in, and instantly started showing me pictures and stuff, and just chatting up a storm. I like that -- it's so much easier when people are up-front and friendly, especially in the Office. I think we'll get along.
After work I ran back to my room, left Kim a quick 'Hey' message, and ran off to Prog. Lang. It was alright, and pretty interesting too, but... well, the proffessor's voice just has a way of putting me to sleep, especially at that odd time of the afternoon, when I should be napping. Got out of there and over to Skip's class. Skip's a pretty cool proffessor, and I enjoy his class. It feels like Assembly Part Two, but that's cool cause I liked Assembly.
Got out of there in time to grab a ticket for a free Showing of Two Towers. I ended up going down with Pat, Marie (who I'd just met), Tom, and Jason. It was cool, and we had a grand trime chatting and stuff. As me, Jason, and Marie are all (technically) engineers, there was a bunch of engineer humor going around. It was grand. There was also a bunch of Geek humor (hey, we were going to see Tolkien, for crying out loud). w00+
---------------Possible Two Towers Spoilers---------------
The movie was really good. There was alot of cutting back and forth between the three groups, so if I had any complaint, that would be it. That and the fight scenes weren't as artfully done. I really liked Smeagol, though - ALOT! Especially when he argued with himself. And the dynamic between Gollum and Sam, and Smeagol and Frodo, was just grand. I also really liked how Gimli and Legolas interacted - PARTICULARLY when Leggy pulled that bow on the Rohan Rider. THAT was probably the coolest single action of the movie. Aragorn had that same rugged-appeal, the whole tall, dark, and kick-ass thing he had in the first movie. Gandalf, though, much as he's one of my favorite characters in the books, really didn't do it for me this time. -shrugs- It was cool when he beat back Saruman (sp?) and Wormtongue.

After the movie, more Engineer/Geek humor insued, and while defending the existance of Geek-girls, I learned that Tom was a Gamer. Not only a Gamer, but an Anime-Geek, as well. We chatted, and decided that if Aaron would run a game, we'd definately have t'play some AD&D. Dude, I may have a gaming group coming together! If only Aaron weren't graduating this year. Tom and I'll have to find others. Anyways, also learned that he's watching Akira for his Media Studies class sometime in March. How awesome is that?!
Anyways, on the way back I just wanted to...run! So, egging on Trevor, I just took off and sprinted for several hundred yards or something. It was SUCH a rush. I'm so out of shape, but it was awesome to run again. I got back up here to see that Kim had really appreciated my little message, but she'd gotten off a half-hour before I got back in. Chatted a bit with Caitlin online, and I figure i'm going to go do some of my reading for Religion class in the morning.
It's not a big deal, I suppose, but I must say I'm afraid no one's interested in reading my recent posts because they're so excruciatingly long. -cringe- I'm sorry about that. There's just so much I'm doing durring the day now that I get back late and have to condense all my thoughts for the day into one post. Infact, it's so bad that I haven't been able to address several observations I've made in the last few days. Maybe I'll get to them tomorrow, when things settle down a bit.
Anyways, love you guys, and I miss hearing from you all. Until next time...!
My score is
31/50
what does that mean?
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.
What is yours?
