UR URRRR URRRR URRRR
To the best of my ability, that's what my alarm sounds like in the morning. Apparently its not annoying enough. Managed to sleep through something I shouldn't have, causing all sorts of problems like me having to fib a little about certain aspects of my morning, yadda yadda yadda. So anyway, it was all uphill from there. Now that I think about it that saying is retarded. Saying "thing went downhill from there" generally means the day got worse. Then again, saying "its all downhill from here" tends to mean things are getting easier. Basically the same sentence meaning total opposite things. Hoif.
So anyway, at some point during the summer I was bored and signed up for a lot of those online dating meeting friendship whatever type sites that you post your pic and profile to and wait for "the one." So I get an e-mail from one of them today. Among a few other things it says "are you really that old, you don't look that old you look really young, I'm really 16 so e-mail me back but you don't have to if you don't want to if you're really 18 i'm sorry." A couple things make this interesting, first of all the fact my profile states I'm 20, not 18. Second of all the fact that someone thinks I look younger than I am, especially given I tend to be seen as a twenty-something by most, and have been unfortunately been offered alcohol at restaurants since I was about 17. The third and perhaps strangest thing is that at that particular site that the e-mail came from, in order to contact other members you have to use up one of your "credits" with the site. You start out with zero, but can purchase them at a rate of ten bucks for three credits, with better deals at a scalable rate at higher denominations. So someone actually paid at least three bucks to send me that random e-mail. Weird. Quite.
Tried installing XP today, had a file error on the cd, going to have to find another image of it or something like that, even though it installed perfectly fine on another computer with that exact image. Strange. Will fiddle more this weekend, got three days due to the holiday, should find plenty to do.

Er, Thursday?
So I slacked. Its even hard to motivate myself to log these days, sheesh! I figure I'll blog a lot, but shorter, makes it easy to just pop it open and update randomly instead of typing up a huge chunk at a time.
So I'm playing intramurals tonight, we get slaughtered as we tend to, had some fun, but the best part was afterwards when I went over to thank the refs and one of them (female of course) said "i like ur shirt!" (i was wearing a t-shirt that says "WHAT PART OF (a really complicated formula) DONT YOU UNDERSTAND?") I swear, those kinds of random compliments from people I don't know are enough to make me float in the clouds for at least a day or two. Seems like they come once an eon, so when they do, I savor every moment. :)
You must be thinking two things: 1. I'm really pathetic if I get excited over a random clothing compliment. 2. I'm a total geek for wearing that kind of shirt.
Well, right on both counts. ;)

Monday Already? Pooey.
Another non-day today, as Sundays usually are, woke up way too late, going to bed way too late, a whole lot of muddled time passing in between.
For some reason I got about 1/10 the usual amount of junk e-mail today. I dunno, I'd rather at least have twenty e-mails to scan and decide whether or not to delete, rather than a big fat ZERO staring me in the face when I religiously repeatedly click the big ol inbox button
Going to find out what I got on my other two midterms this week, I don't know why I'm worried, I know I did well, I guess I'm just hoping for perfection rather than imperfection. Its all going to come down to the finals regardless, but the more bargaining power I have coming in the better.
Played some Civilization 3 today, the new game by Sid Meier, basically based on the previous two, but with today's graphics and speed. Still as fun as it used to be, some improvements are nice, others quite annoying, I guess they make the game harder. Hadn't done any movie or tv episode downloading in a while, started up a bunch of queues again, should have some fresh new stuff by tomorrow morning to report. Man, its a good thing every weekend isn't like this. I really do nothing well.
Reading that last sentence again, I realize it can be taken two ways depending on whether "nothing" or "well" is emphasized, both of which are possibly true. I'm good at doing nothing, is what I meant. :/
