today the glitterbomber is... |
2001-12-21 happy solstice, my little snowflakes! today i wussed out on the cold and drove to work. i almost fainted with shock when i found a meter space in front of my building (this never happens in the morning). and the meter was broken..stuck on two hours. merry xmas from the parking gods! (the hell with secrecy, here's where i work.) i have been trying to get out of going to a little holiday get-together tonight. somehow, i found myself involved in a secret santa gift exchange thingie with katrina, amy b, juley, and tammy. i found out that i was involved in it when i got an email from andreas telling me that i had to get a gift from katrina. i think it's great, but a little strange that tammy and i would both be involved, since she still isn't speaking to me. (i later discovered that andreas, infamous german mathematician that he is, was recruited to assign givers to getters so tammy and i wouldn't have each other.) so katrina wanted the five of us to get together tonight to exchange gifts. i haven't been feeling too social lately, and the tammy situation would be extra added stress, so i pled not feeling well to get out of it. that didn't work, so i tried being somewhat more direct to katrina. she misunderstood and said that everyone would just show up at my house, exactly what i don't want. so i said i'd stop over briefly. the whole thing is just ridiculous. i didn't want it to turn into a big deal. i felt a crazy burst of creativity last night. suddenly, i felt like drawing and writing again and spent a couple of hours doing that. i haven't been that motivated in a long time, and i'm taking it as a good sign. (either that, or it was the result of amy b's birthday present, which i said i would never smoke again after the paranoia-filled last time. but never say never where drugs are concerned.) so it's friday, and you know what that means, faithful readers... 1. What is the weirdest thing you've ever eaten? i can be a very picky eater, so i guess i'd have to say eel and squid, neither of which are that weird. 2. Name one (material) thing you can't live without. my stereo 3. Name something you've always wanted to do but didn't have time for. i'd love to learn more languages and to be better in the ones i can already speak a little of. 4. What outrageous thing do you wish you had the nerve to do? i want to go hang gliding, but that's more a question of finances, not nerves. 5. How do you plan to spend your weekend? my weekend starts at one, since that's when we can leave work today. then it's lunch with amy e and the aforementioned gift exchange tonight. hopefully, i'll get to see aly sometime, who's in town this weekend. then i want to do absolutely nothing! |
