A Tired Boy . . .

I am so tired, kids. It's not even 11pm and I'm just SO tired. What is up with that? I've been writing most of the day today . . . and I guess it's just that constation creative process that has drained me. (Or something like that).

I'm currently sitting on Logan's bed while he's out walking the dog. I just did not have the energy to walk the 2 miles he takes his dog on. (Ok, I don't know if it's really two miles, but it sure as hell felt like 2 miles the last time we did it. And I'm really just too tired to move my ass out of the bed. So I'm just going to blog instead.)

I got a "quiz" from a friend today that I haven't talked to in quite a while. He's currently touring with the Music Man (which makes me wonder if he was in it here in Houston when it was here -- but that was a good while ago, so I don't know.) He's been promoted to Dance Captain -- so congrats to you, Ross! Ross and I don't really talk that much anymore. I met him, oh, several years ago when he was in the touring production of Footloose: The Musical. I had several friends in the production and they introduced me to him. We hit it off pretty well, I s'pose. We talked and stuff for a good while, but after a while it just kind'a stopped.

But it was nice to hear from you, Ross. Even if it was just a quiz.

In other news -- how cracked out is it that it's the first day of Winter and Logan just walked the dog in shorts and a short sleeve shirt. That is just wrong. It's supposed to get cold again either tonight or tomorrow (in the low 30s). It's amazing that everyone here doesn't have pneumonia or something like that because of the constant fluxuation of temperature here. I think that's why i feel so tired all the time. Or maybe it's because I stay up till 3am. Well -- I haven't been as of late. Usually in bed by 12 now. *sigh* Gettin' old.

The Loss of Christmasy Feelings . . .

It seems like those wonderful holiday feelings that normally accompany Christmas are slowly (but surely) ebbing -- for me, at least. Could it be because it's 70 out right now and I actually had to change into something cooler? Perhaps. Could it be because there seems to be less and less Christmas decoration adorning the city every year? (This could actually be a good thing, as approximately 98.8% of all Christmas decorations are just tack-a-rama.) Could it be the lack of carolers? Lack of snow? Lack of a christmas tree in my apartment? Or maybe it's just because my birthday is over.

Who can say? But the Christmas spirit is slowly on decline for me (thankfully, Chrimbo is but only 3 days away). Ya know, I strongly debated getting a tree this year. But I figured -- I live alone -- with a cat (who would no doubt try to eat the tree and get worms or yack it back up all over everything, presents included -- which would mean I'd then have to rewrap them, possibly replace them) -- and there really is just no need for it. Plus, I'm REALLY lazy when it comes to de-christmas-izing my apartment . . . and eventually (say around February) it just gets too embarassing to lug that thing out to the dumpster, so then it just sits on your balcony until NEXT Chrimbo . . . and then you just start to amass this dead christmas tree collection. I'd say we could use it as fire wood . . . but that would mean having a fire. And while I have a fireplace . . . shit, people. It's 70 out.

Anyway, I just needed to *bleh.* Have to get back to work now. Have a great day!

Birthday Bliss

My birthday last nite was the best birthday I've had in I don't know how many years. I've never really been big on birthdays . . . just not my thing. Wasn't ever really a celebrated thing. But yesterday was just an amazing day.

I woke up early for some reason and did some important stuff (pay some bills, go to the bank, etc.). Then I got my hair cut. Once that was done, I was off to be with Logan. 3pm and I was off to get my hair "dyed" -- which was up in the air as far as what was actually going to happen. The top is highlighted, and the sides and back are tinted with a golden brown (so as to remove the orangy bleh from my hair.) I got tons of positive feedback last nite.

That was Logan's gift for me. :)

Then we met Audrey, Clay, Laslo, and Sarah at Logo and we all kind'a caravanned (is that right?) back to Seabrook. 8pm rolled around and we all met down at Boondoggles. All I cna say about the evening is that I totally felt so loved. I had about 20 friends there and it was so nice to see them all. Some people really came out of their way to be there and I so greatly appreciate it. I got some extremely nice and sentimental cards -- a fondue set from my 'rents -- X-men collection dvd set -- gift certificate to the Cheesecake Factory -- gift certificate to the mall -- some gorgeous wine goblets -- an ever-so-fun Joy of Cooking calendar -- a frame with a picture of Michael-gurl and me -- and possibly some other stuff that I'm overlooking at the moment. And I was SO happy that Michael and Kade showed up! I didn't know if they would make it or not . . . but that meant a lot.

I'm having to make this short because I have some work to do before I go to Guava tonite. I think we're definitely off to a great new year . . . and I think that 25 won't be such a bad age this year.

End o' Class

Well my Programming Concepts class ended last thursday. What a relief that was. Ya know, I took "same" class at San Jac like two years ago -- but the class focused on psuedocode and flowcharting. This class focused on learning the C programming language.

So I spent most of my time writing this stupid currency conversion program (which was fabulous, of course) -- thanks to hours of help from my ever-so-smart mother. But anyway, one of the girls on my learning team (a group of four) wasn't quite getting the hang of things, so I spent many hours working on the assignments with her to try to get her to understand.

The last week, however, I was very busy and wasn't able to help her at all -- but I was able to send her some example code snippets from my program. Hooray! Joy! End of class.

Two days after class is over, my profressor e-mails me and tells me that the program I turned in is very similar to another program that was turned in -- the only changes were cosmetic. Didn't take long for me to guess who it was. I was furious. He asked who the original author was and I was like "Um, hi!" And he said "That's what I thought."

I got an A - in the class. Hooray!

My next class is Computer Programming I -- and it is all Java. :-\ I'm a little scurd. Y'all have to remember that I am not really a programmer. I would like to have that sexy, geeky quality about me -- but alas, I do not. At least not yet. Hehe.

Wow, I'm a Slacker

Ok, so I haven't blogged for a while. But I've been sooo busy, y'all. It's not even funny. I'm so tired, I could just die. In fact, I plan on doing just that shortly. I've beeb working for my friend Audrey's dad in Kingwood -- which is like an hour away. WAY far away. Thankfully, Logan lives very close so I can stay with him or nap or whatever.

Anyway.

I don't really have anything to say. My birthday is tomorrow. Whee. It gets old being 25 year after year. Maybe I should just tell people i'm 35 so people will tell me how good I look for being so old.

Anyway. (again).

I'm tired and still have nothing to say. So I'm going to bed. Sleep well!

Phsseesh . . . Updates.

I'm writing cuz I was hasseled into writing. LOL. I don't really have much to say . . . I've been trying to get my school work done (because I'm way behind). And I haven't really done anything.

I will say, however, that, thankfully, my life has taken a dramatic turn for the better. I've met the greatest guy ever . . . I have a job that I start tomorrow . . . (gotta love contract work) . . . I'm getting my education . . . I've made some excellent new friends . . . my cat is declawed (hooray!) and is feeling better . . . Just seems like life is looking up for me. (Knock on wood.)

And seriously -- not to gush or anything -- but people -- Logan is simply amazing. He totally makes me melt and get all goofy and ga-ga. I know several of you have met him -- and all I can say is that my outlook has improved 10 fold since I met him. All I do is smile and count the days till I see him again.
