another funny quote from russian lessons

A: Which is more expensive? Milk or wine?
Me: Milk!
A: You are living in a fantasy world.

ready

I prepare for a date the same way I prepare for a job interview, as far as makeup and what I decide to wear (OK, no, I usually wear a suit to a job interview and not to a date). I need to read some ladies' magazines and find out how to do it differently. Smoky eyes and things.

I'm excited for my eyelash extensions. I think I'm getting eyelash tint, too, which means no more mascara raccoon eyes. But I have to be careful not to become addicted to this stuff.

anything but to breathe

When you love somebody

Bite your tongue

All you get is a mouthful of blood

So Professor Who agreed with me that I was a weirdo, but in Donnie Darko style, it was meant as a compliment.

My love life is continuing apace. Virtually. I mean, online. I haven't actually had a date yet, but I will, and that's OK. I still have a hopeless crush, despite all distraction.

This Friday, I'm getting eyelash extensions. Weird, right?

Today I complained to my grandfather that I was always too busy (I've been trying for a week to get in touch with them when we're both free). And Paw said "Well, that's what life's for--filling up."

run! run to your chocolate huts!

Radio show went well, and I even feel rested. I also graded all the problem sets, which is completely, and wonderfully, awesome. AND I finished my applications to two different jobs, one of which I have an interview for tomorrow. AND an application for the statistics fellowship I hope to get for next semester, so I don't have to apply for those jobs right away, except for the summer ones. Fingers crossed!

writing samples

A lot of my job applications require writing samples. I think it would be hilarious to send in some of my dream descriptions from my dream blog. What would they DO in a situation like that? Maybe I would include this dream about the whale, which I'd fogotten about, and was happy to remember. Even though it wasn't a happy dream.

I've been having pretty happy dreams lately. So that's nice.

D&D in the Dark

Tonight at D&D, we played by candlelight for Earth Hour. After it was over, we didn't want to stop, it added to the mood so well. So, that was fun.

latest methods (for getting rid of a crush)

Tonight I'm trying superimposing the personality of a loathable ex. It is especially helpful if the ex relationship started out as a big crush.

Also, cognitive techniques: say "STOP" out loud to myself (like Yoshi in Tetris Attack).

Speaking of cognitive, I just took a battery of tests for the CIA. I don't know how well I did, but I probably did OK, except for the one I ran out of time on.

words are very uncessary

listening to Depeche Mode on repeat.



Here we go 90's!
