Today I programmed hard in a confusing way and talked to a lot of people about their databases and some of them were nice about it. I came home and I watched DVD special features (but not any main features) until I couldn't sit still any more and then I washed dishes until my hands were waterlogged and then I hung a cork board (from a silent auction at work) on the wall and it's really big. It's I almost injured myself putting it up alone big. I'm going to need a lot of push pins. My living room smells a little bit like rotting fruit and also possibly vodka. This is normal.
The point is, everybody, I'm pretty good. I'm going home tomorrow and my eyes are going to be maaad at me as soon as they see, and feel the full fury of, my cat's fur. What a cat-astrophe.

We need to have a serious discussion.
I'm playing Chrono Trigger and I have never played Chrono Trigger before and every time Robo is like hey, what's up, beep boop, laser beams, whatever... he rickrolls me.

I am done school and I did pretty ok, and as such have spent the last 5 days playing video games. I am full of existential angst but that is nothing new, and besides, I am level 50 and snowed in. Today I knitted a teeny tiny taupe sweater for my iPod and it is the most satisfying thing I have ever knitted because it took exactly as long as it takes to watch an afternoon of The Food Network.

SERIOUSLY THIS VIDEO... engenders every minor cultural happening in our townhouse lately.
Now I am at home for the weekend and I'm already feeling wonderful and relaxed and like I have a million years before I return to the real world and have to drink all the coffee my veins are crying out for and do all the things I don't want to do. I officially accepted my job offer with Sybase last night so I've got my next semester and the one after that all planned out and that plan is keep waking up early and program, program, program.
Additionally I am watching this stupid Sex and the City movie for the fourth time and I didn't even like it the first time around. Fuck. That.

Man so there are kids with tuberculosis at Guelph.
I think I would feel totally justified not going to campus tomorrow were it not for the super fun day planned - i.e. sassy arts and crafts time followed by a field trip. I am going to touch all the gluesticks and paper and get everybody sick.
Maybe I will also lick some faces.
Yessssssssss.

I've been making empty promises again to write a novel about my feelings or whatever again and that is great because right now that is more fun than writing Java.
I have so much work that if I even begin to think about it I will have another panic attack and start threatening to end my life but as long as I am not frustrated with all that I am pretty happy. Home is comfortable and school is ok in that I have it down to about a 1:1 ratio of wandering around alone feeling ridiculous and destroying property to spending time with programmers who may or may not think I'm really annoying.
So I finished my work term report and immediately have to start finding a new job to write one about, hopefully in Guelph or Waterloo, as much as I would love to go back to Environment Canada and disrupt their workflow and spend all my money on movies again.
So anyway I am going to try to stay up tonight and finish all my work and then I can maybe do something fun and maybe spend some time being less lame and infatuated.

So I got an iPod.
It turns out this is the absolute worst thing you can give to somebody with even a tiny bit of OCD. There are just so many songs without album art still.
Anyway I've got this big work term report to write before the end of the summer and it's snapping me back into school mode. I am distraught. I can absolutely say that this will be ten pages of utter bullshit because, let's be honest, my work term has not really been about dynamic web applications or views on effective bug tracking or issues facing software developers hindered by bureaucracy so much as it has been like public service summer camp.
Plus, the Olympics are on! I don't want to do this shit. I can watch the pentathlon.

You know how, in a good family-oriented movie or sitcom, inevitably the well-meaning protagonist makes a plan and then later makes another plan and then, maybe a few days later, realizes that, fuck, they are supposed to be in eight places at exactly 6:32 on Thursday what are they supposed to do and why did so many people stipulate they be with them at exactly 6:32.
I feel like that all the time lately.
When am I going to get my laundry done?

Next semester my schedule is packed, 10:30 to 4:30, with
System Analysis & Design in Applications
Database Systems & Concepts
Computer Networks
Modelling of Computer Systems
Form, Genre & Literary Value
Riveting? My English class, judging by the course outline from the last time the professor taught that course, will probably be garbage and be chiefly about spy novels or some other bullshit.
I mean - yay!
My job is great and it will be super sad to leave it at the end of August. My work days are half work, half play, half commuting time, half organized sports, half spending all my money on beer and movies. I am pretty sure I've worn myself out but in a fun way and I have the weekend to sleep and I really like being busy anyway.
My point is, I have a lot of books to read.

I realize that, once again, I did not make good on a promise to "update my livejournal tonight"... on Saturday.
IIII guess I totally suck.
I went to see Stars and Death Cab for Cutie on Saturday, though - so basically I sat in a hot field for eight hours while bands occasionally wandered onto the stage. It was fantastic and I wore SPF 50 and did not get burned. Ben Gibbard had big sideburns.
Also I bought a Nintendo DS in hopes that, when my pirate hardware from Hong Kong comes in, I can play tappy yelly midi music games to my heart's content. I realize that everybody I know in Guelph will hate this but I am looking forward to fun times alone in my room. Or more obnoxiously, alone with other people around.
Also I am in a softball league, which I skipped today to take a nap and watch So You Think You Can Dance reruns.
There's just not enough time in a day.

The internet at home has something misconfigured with it so it's nearly impossible to accomplish anything on my computer except play crappy Linux minesweeper. Downloads time out and pages sometimes don't load at all and I'm reduced to using web messenger in a futile attempt to stay in contact with, maybe, a handful of people before it too disconnects and I am the lousiest person in the world. I've been here for a month and it still feels like I've lost a limb or a sense and I can't see or hear or feel anything outside of this stupid house and the crime shows my family makes me watch and the office I spend 10 hours every day at or traveling to and from.
This is for sure the dumbest suburban angst I've experienced since high school but I am sick and I am usually, but not currently, consumed by weather patterns and sloppy PHP code and nobody is in town and I can't even look at knitting patterns on the internet. Come on, I don't want a lot. I just want to know how to knit these socks.

I HAVE SPENT THE LAST FOUR HOURS THINKING VERY HARD ABOUT DOING THE WORK REQUIRED TO FINISH THIS SEMESTER.
And by thinking very hard I mean napping, and feeling sorry for myself for not having the drive to do anything productive whatsoever.
