My friggin panties are frozen! That was the coldest say of my life... Brrrr... I was outside for work all day and forgot to take my coat this morning. Needless to say, I of course broke out in hives. And it really was not busy at all though so I simply resorted to kalesthenics to keep my blood pumping... I'm sure I looked rather hilarious jumping around in the lorikeet aviary the way I was. I hope no one saw me *smirk* Might explain why no one came in... Lol.

Huggles to rethaw my blood... I won't steal all your warmth... just some of it... Please?

This day seems to be dragging on forever... I simply cannot get interested in anything for any amount of time and I keep falling asleep even though I got plenty of it last night. I think it has something to do with the temperature change. I simply cannot function as well when I'm this cold. It probably reflects somewhat in my circadian rythm (the body's natural cycle of temperature variations thoughout the day). When your body's circadian rythm is at its low end, your body temperature drops and the body's ability to function is lessened. I'm pretty sure that my low phase happens in the late morning to early afternoon because that is when I always seem to feel most sluggish. I function wonderfully in the early morning and late evening/night. So this brings me to the conclusion that I ought to devote the middle of my day to napping in order to remove the wasted time of lowered productivity. Gee, think my bosses and teachers will be as convinced?

Brrr, I miss summer. It left before it ever really came this year. They are saying it is going to be a rather harsh winter because of this. I'm not exceptionally pleased with this theory as it means not only did I not get the searing summers that I love, but on top of it I have to deal with extra frigid cold. Brr... I can feel the hives forming already. I sincerely hope that my allergy to the cold will phase itself out of existence soon. I may have been imagining it last winter, but it didn't seem to affect me nearly so much as in the past. Here's hoping.

Time till I get to go home: 2 and half hours and dropping...

I really need to aquire my liscence. Ray took me driving last night to get some things from K-Mart and I did really well... until I got into the parking lot. There I ran a stop sign... Well, maybe "ran" isn't the right word as I was in the process of stopping so I more like coasted through the intersection and the oncoming traffic was traveling very slowly honking their horn. As Ray put it, it was a rather surreal scene. Ugh, I felt so stupid! But Ray was a sweetheart about it and I cheered up when I bought myself some chocolate. Yay! And I got us home without any further incident afterwards. Leave it to me... I will always find some way to make a fool of myself.

Oh my gosh, the computer almost tried to eat this post so I will end it here before I lose my infinite wisdom and can never share it with to world. Enjoy!

Shivery Huggles!

So yesterday I finally saw The Day After Tomorrow. I really enjoyed the movie. I found it scientifically intriguing as well as quite plausible though the timeline was slightly too accelerated for probability. The artistic quality of the film was also breathtaking with amazing graphics. The plot and characters were enveloping and believable. I also really hope that people absorbed the ecological warning posed in said movie. We simply cannot continue to abuse the world this way without expecting dire consequences. With population levels skyrocketing, pollution and deforestation is running rampant. The environment cannot support much more and we are being far too disrespectful for our own good. If human civilzation does not alter its course soon, we will undoubtedly pay for our hubris. We have the capabilities and intelligence to leave in symbiosis with nature, we simply are too narrowminded and pleasure oriented to do so and this will be our downfall.

Sigh. I hope that there will still be a world to save by the time I'm able to do so.

Comtemplative Huggles...

Last night I felt like I was floating in a dream. So close in your arms was the last place I expected to be but also the only place that truly felt right. I yearn for your embrace, for your smile. I would do anything to hear you laugh, make you happy. And I know you feel the same for me. I feel closer to you then I ever thought possible, like I've walked among your secrets and beheld your soul. And the sight was breathtaking. You have left me awestruck and reeling and I never want to feel the ground under my feet again.

Alright, so I'm terrible when it comes to money. So sue me. I went shopping. I've been so good lately. And today my mom drags me to the store to buy new boots for work for the winter... and of course it never stops there. I also bought the most adorable pair of black knee high army boots that lace all the way up the front. They are so cool! I'm wearing them right now, they feel great too.

And I have also decided that I am addicted to underwear. Everytime I go to Kohl's I buy at least a dozen pair of new underwear... I have way too much underwear.

I'm also burning my new strawberry incense... mmmm... it smells really great!

So, I gave a killer speech in public speaking class today. I felt like I was stumbling all over the place but my friends have assured me that I did great! I hope Mark felt the same way. I ended up volunteering to go first because no one wanted to... It turned out ok that way I guess because I got to simply relax through the rest of them. =)

Contented, well-shoed huggles!

So I really like Ray. We talked a lot this past weekend and he seems like the kind of person I'd like to get to know better. He's so intelligent and such a caring person. I love just playing games with him and talking to him. And he is genuinely motivated to go somewhere in life. He just sparkles! I really like him. That's the easy part. Here's the harder part, we kissed and we ended up making out a little... and I just don't want it to get too physical too fast. (Not that it isn't startlingly nice) But I don't want to mess up what could be a great relationship with something so trivial. So, I'm going to have to talk to him about it. The only thing is, he makes me so nervous because he is so unique. He's like no other guy I've ever met... I don't quite know how to act around him... Well, I'm just going to have to figure him out too... Yay for awesome guys like Ray!

Huggles!

So.... I just got a nifty chemical burn in chem lab. My wrist started burning terribly during my experiment so I looked down and this huge red, angry looking welt had formed. I immediately washed it with soap and water and went to go back to my experiment but this thing hurt like a proverbial bitch! So I went and showed the TA and she freaked out and dragged me (literally dragged, she almost made me fall on my face) over to the sink. She doused the sucker with tons of some chemical that had some stupid long name that was a base after she had determined it was an acid burn because it was burning not itching. She thinks it was the Hydrogen sulfide which was like "a really strong acid" as she kept saying... Lol, leave it to me to burn things at any opportunity.

Burning, hot huggles!

So Thurday night after work I actually got a decent amount of sleep for once which of course made me feel even worse the next day. Damn you seductive, frustrating sleep... You work in such strange ways. I honestly am beginning to think I simply function better with less sleep. Well then after school on Friday, I stayed to help run the speech tournament for extra credit. It was a blast, I hung out with Nate (Shatterhaze's cousin), Stephanie, and Emily and just had a good time. Amusingly, Stephanie pulls out magic cards, looks at Nate and I and goes, "I don't suppose you've ever heard of Magic before?" We both broke out laughing. So I actually won a threesome game! Yay for me!

Well, by the time I got home I had developed the worst migraine I've ever had complete with nausea and light sensitivity so I went straight to bed. I went to work the next day and had an awesome time. I even saved the day by capturing a loose lorikeet (an austalian parrot). Lol, it wasn't very happy with me though and I have the bite marks to prove it.

Saturday night I ventured over to Ray's apartment to talk with him and ended up getting routed into a Star Wars DnD game. It was really a blast, I had so much fun. But... I accidently stayed out way later then I should have and didn't get home until about 7:30 AM, thankfully my parents didn't really notice. So after a long and tired day of work, in which I amazingly discovered where the lorikeets had been escaping from... I decided to go back to Ray's. We again played games, and then in amidst some lovely cuddling in the middle of the living room floor, we both fell asleep... And again I didn't make it home until about 5 AM. Amusingly, I lucked out once more and my parents hadn't seemed to notice. I'm sure I'll get a lecture about it later though. The thing is, I am now 18 and wonderfully they trust me so it shouldn't be too bad.

Well, here I am at college... Trying to write a speech about the future of the space tourism industry... Sigh, time for lunch I think. That'll get my brain working.

Huggles!

Again, what a weekend, what a weekend! So little sleep and so much fun! And I'm off for some more... Huggles, I'll post more later.
