So Far, So Good!

So I had my interview this morning which basically consisted of Dr. Blackledge showing me all his neat little critters. If I were to get the position (he has two others applying and can only hire two of us... *crosses fingers*) I would be handling basic husbandry of the invertebrates as well as literally pulling the silk out of anesthetized spiders. The silk is being used for various research projects, the main one being biochemical analysis of the silk material in an attempt to create a matrix to house green proteins to cover combat planes to make them invunerable to lasers. Cool, huh? As it was early in the morning, and I had just awoken from a nap, I don't think I quite impressed him with my conversational skills... I hope I didn't sound too simple but I just couldn't think of anything overtly intellectual to say. So we shall see.

I have infiltrated Shatterhaze's hideout in the Student Union and have been enjoying my time spent there profusely. I like to call it the Shatterpit. I think the other denizens have finally decided I am no threat and we can all relax and listen to Daddyhaze and his various stories. It is far too much fun and they really seem like cool people. By the way, I need to remember to get a trenchcoat like Will's, it is yummily comfy and bad ass looking.

Happy thought of the day: 2 dollar large pizza for lunch! Someone ordered a bunch of pizzas and then cancelled once they were already made, so instead of throwing them out, they decided to sell them cheap to starving college students. It was some damn good pizza too! It was piping hot and the crust was amazingly flaky and delicious. I usually am not a fan of Papa John's but if this is what all their pizza is like these days, they may be my new favorite pizza!

Killing Stuff is Fun!

Wow, just wow. Who would have thought that such a cold, rainy, dismal day could produce such a kickass practice. I didn't leave the field once the whole time! It felt amazing to shield bash again. It felt thrilling to hear someone say I was getting faster. It felt glorious to square up with someone and see the fear in their face before I pushed them back. Sure, I'm definitely out of practice but I made a decent rally towards not fighting like a newb today. This is exactly what I've been craving. It will be a good winter if this is to be a trend.

Blood lusty huggles!

Dem bones dem bones

I really felt the urge to get drunk about 30 minutes ago upon completion of my anatomy test... Instead, this strawberries and creme frappachino is currently doing a decent job of distracting me from my recent failure. Damn, how can I have felt so prepared and yet still walk out of the exam baffled?! I am so tired of looking at dead cats... Perhaps I shan't go to vet school after all.

Darn... my strawberry goodness is gone.

Pucker up!

My interesting fact for the day is that the average human being spends collectively 2 weeks in their life kissing. Now this really doesn't sound like nearly enough to me and as soon as I find someone worth the effort again I will make it my goal to increase that statistic dramatically.

Two weeks in the life kissing? Let me put it in more perspective for you, the average human also spends (collectively) 3 weeks yawning! What a sad thought, that we yawn more in our lives than we kiss. Sidenote, everyone says yawning is contagious, furthermore, studies show that the sooner you react to seeing someone else yawn, the better you are at empathy. So there's a new test for sensitivity for ya. Let me know if it's accurate.

Kiss of life... Did you know that kissing in humans probably originated in the act of ancestral human mothers chewing up food and then pushing it into their child's mouth with their tongue? Mmmm... real yummy thing to think about next time you are playing tonsil hockey. But I guess it makes sense that that action would convey love, intimacy, and family.

I haven't had a really good kiss in ages... Ya know where your toes curl and fireworks go off and hopefully no food is passed between lips. Lol, and isn't from your mother.

Huggles and kissles!

Withdrawing Sideways

I've been having a rough weekend. Lack of sleep coupled with too much work and the dashed and managled hopes of getting to spend time with friends have really left me shaking on the edge of deep sadness.

But, never fear, because I am of course super Hannah! I harbor no doubt that I should be able to pull myself back from the precipice now that I have made the assertion to so.

No laptop yet =(
But Dr. Blackledge emailed me back about the job and I have an interview on Thursday! =)
And despite the crappiness of this last weekend, at least I earned a decent hunk of money, which is very muchly needed. =)
