This and/or That.

There was a nice woman on my bus today. She had a big thick gray coat with pink interior, dirty blonde hair tied back into a ponytale, a big scarf, glasses and a hat. We shared a spontaneous smile when our eyes met during our respective peoplewatching. I was just thinking about how rarely people smile on the bus when she started screaming at the driver about not wanting to get her fucking organs taken when the government kills her. She said other things too, but I couldn't hear them from my seat at the back of the bus. She put too much emphasis on her Ss and Ts, it sounded sort of like a snake being strangled to death.

My aunt's birthday last friday was sort of a lesson in awkwardness. My parents were busy, and my cousin I would normally have talked to wasn't there. I miss the years when I could get away with playing my gameboy on the sofa the whole time. I compensated by pretending to have to call people on my cell phone. Does that make me a bad person?

Rylan's party was a breath of fresh air. Seeing people you haven't been able to see in months free of drama is pretty hard to beat. The same goes for letting your libido run free with two good friends in an endless cycle of flirtation. and groping. Honk honk. ...I'm not a pervert. It's an inside joke. Really.

Rambles
I have too many things I want to do. I keep overbooking myself. I should work on a better calendar system. Maybe I'll just start posting my schedule here. That'd help my e-stalkers too (hi Tom). I'm starting to worry about school. I really haven't tried very hard this quarter at all. I've been putting off homework until past 2:00am, and my organizational system is a folder, scribbled notes, and hope. If I keep this up, I'm going to slip somewhere and my grades will tank. The problem is (as Anneka made me realize), I can't work unless I'm scared of the consequences. Each quarter that I've made it through this year has made me a little cockier, and now I'm really feeling the backlash of that. That isn't even going into my online class, which I really want to drop. REALLY want to drop. I just... can't take it. The lack of interaction... it's too much. Or, really, too little. I could make up the credit, but I don't know what it would do to my hopes of taking Japanese again. I might just have to study super hard to relearn what I've forgotten from 101 and start up with 102. Or, take it over the summer as a non-credit course, or something. Hmm, I like the sound of that one. Now to convince my parents to let me drop it...

It is time to start doing things more and talking about doing things less. If you are reading this, I probably want to hang out with you. Call me.

I have found two amazing bands. DragonForce and Asian Kung-Fu Generation. The former is insanely over the top speed metal that sounds like a videogame soundtrack, the latter is just awesome Japanese music. I've uploaded a DragonForce CD for 10 of you, because I'm awesome. It'll go away in 6 days. If you play your cards right, I'll upload some Asian Kung-Fu Generation for you later.

All the cool people are going to see Arcadia June 23rd, 24th, or 25th. Don't you want to be like them? Good. I'll give you show times when I'm sure of them.

Your lips are taste of wine.
