Randomosity at its randomest
Happy new year!
Yeah, that was a pretty pitiful post. I was going to go on about the global warmings and evolutionism, but I have too much of a hangover to do much of anything. And by hangover, I mean lack of sleep. And by lack of sleep, I mean, well, lack of sleep.
So I hope everyone out there is having a great start to 2008. Don’t break your resolutions too quickly, now.
Sphere: Related ContentAnd now for my first post of the new year! Huzzah! So, today I’m driving home from school, when I look out the window and can’t see the road at all. It’s completely and totally white. That’s not the worst part. Coming down my street, I half spin out. I hit a patch of snow and ice on a corner and the car starts sliding. I panic and hit the brakes. Note: do not attempt this at home, it only makes things worse. So there I am sliding out of control towards a telephone pole. Luckily, I stop in time before getting a crumpled fender. I officially hate driving in the snow!! In other news, I’m currently looking out my bedroom window at around 6 inches of snow. It’s about time!
Tomorrow at 5:30 in the morning, I’m going down to Tacoma for the Northwest High Schools Honor Band at Pacific Lutheran University. Hopefully I won’t botch my audition as horribly as last year. I can play the audition piece perfectly alone, but when I go up in front of the people there, I wipe out on the easiest scale. ARGH! It’s the Audition Curse!
I also resigned from Copernicus Station. Nothing was really going on there. Besides, I’m not much of a station person. But I’m going to keep with DS1 because that one looks pretty cool. Also, I applied to be a CO with Bravofleet. Hopefully I’ll get it, but I don’t think I have enough “experience” to satisfy the Admiral Staff. If I do, I’ll let y’all know so you can sign up to be my crew! Ian has already promised to be the Chief Engineer.
Finally, I’ve narrowed down my choice of colleges. Knowing that my major will most likely be astronomy (yes, a surprise choice, but one I’m sure of) I’ve selected University of Washington, The Evergreen State College, and Whitman University as my top three (but not necessarily in that order). So if you want to ensure your success in college, make sure you figure out where I’m going and go there.
Sphere: Related ContentIt’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood, beautiful day in the neighborhood…I have no frickin’ clue why that song is stuck in my mind. I haven’t watched Mr. Rogers in years! No, really! I’ve grown too old for Mr. Rogers. Now I spend my time watching SpongeBob and Pokemon. Seriously though. I stopped watching Pokemon after the cards went out of style. Then again, when has that ever stopped me before? But SpongeBob is a majorly funny show.
Joy be upon us all! I found out I didn’t miss an episode of Lost like I thought I did. Huzzah! I also beat CoD: United Offensive. Took me a day. I really ought to stop playing these games on the easiest difficulty level. In other news, I successfully ate four cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting. I’m also sick. But my sickness is totally unrelated to the cinnamon rolls. I blame my sister, the chocolate-hater, for giving me a cold. She denies it, but she also denies being a chocolate-hater.
Finally, I’ve discovered that I somehow joined two other Star Trek RPGs (I should get this sleep-computering looked at). You may now call me either Derek Nash, the Chief Security Officer onboard Deep Space 1; or, Ensign Troy Atkins, Chief Operations Officer on Copernicus Station.. I need to find something more productive to do with my time. Now I’m off to do who knows what. Perhaps I shall find a New Year’s resolution to make…
Sphere: Related ContentI am suffering from PCD. Yes, sadly Post-Christmas Depression has caught up with me. Alas, woe is me! But Christmas was fun while it lasted. I got, among other things, a bunch of accessories for my car (seat cover, steering wheel cover, trash container, etc.), five books (including Stephen Hawking’s The Universe In A Nutshell), a Rascal Flatts CD, Call of Duty: United Offensive, $20, gift cards to Target and Barnes & Noble, and a patriotic ribbon pin for my letter jacket. I’m not complaining or anything, but I’m amazed I didn’t get any clothing this year. Normally, someone gives me a shirt or a pair of shorts, but nothing this year, not even a pair of socks. This just means I’ll get extra clothes for my birthday…
Happy 2005! Yeah, yeah, it’s a few days early for that, but when the time comes, I’ll be too drunk, tired, or unconscious to say it. …that probably came across the wrong way. Okay, for future reference, when I say “drunk,” I mean either drunk with power or that I’ve had too much Mountain Dew. Under no circumstances does it mean I’ve been out partying and smuggled a six-pack of Heineken home. And for unconscious, it most likely means that I set off a firecracker that knocked me twenty yards backward into a tree.
WARNING: Those of you with weak value structures should not read the following words because you will think I’m pushing my values on you.
MERRY (belated) CHRISTMAS!!!
And a happy boxing day too.
