Untying ribbons on every tree I see

So, one of the most stressful and hectic weeks of my life has finally come to a close, and mostly I'm just glad that I survived. Friday night I celebrated by taking the comic book nerd side of myself out of it's little jar and let it take over, by fully geeking out about Watchmen. I was slightly bummed about the changed ending, but aside from that, it was incredible. It completely enfolded me for nearly three hours and made me forget about the world outside of the theater, and I was more than happy to spend some time letting my mind enter another world. Awesome awesome movie.
Yesterday was a really slow day, I did 12 dollars worth of laundry that I'm still folding and putting away, and got some work done. Adam busted into the room at 1am with a bottle of champagne in hand, ordering me to come with him to the cast party for the show they just finished putting on. I did as I was told, and ended up having a great night, although I didn't end up sleeping last night, since I had to be ready at 8am to have breakfast with my Aunt and Uncle. Overall, this was a good weekend. Bryce comes over later today, so I'm going to try to get the rest of my work done before chaos ensues. Looking forward to a less stressful week and then coming home.

I'll finish updating this later, but for now: I'm so, so tired of one-way friendships. Blaghhh

So, yesterday I was very pleased to have my extreme nerdy side explode with joy because of the date, 3/3/09! Bulgaria's Liberation Day? No silly, square root day! There hasn't been one of these since 2/2/04, and there won't be another one until 2016, so it's clear why these are a supreme cause for celebration. Before the turn of the millennium, there wasn't a square root day since 1981! Also, this particular day just compounds what is already a super-mathematical month (March is, of course, also home to pi day, 3/14). This pi day I'll be at home, so hopefully I'll find something exciting to do. During high school, pi day was always marked by a "pi-eating" contest, and a "recite as many digits of pi as you can" contest. I attempted to memorize as many as I could every year, but there was always that guy who could rocket off 300 digits at abnormally quick speeds. Oh well.
It's been a couple weeks since the last gratuitously geeky gala, which is more for the computer science nerds, a group which I definitely don't purport to be a valid member of. February 13th was 1234567890 day, which marked 1234567890 seconds in Unix time since the Coordinated Universal Clock started in 1970. Nice, right?
Anyways, because of my midterm schedule I wasn't able to partake in any of the traditional methods of celebration for square root day, but if you decided to make a boozeday tuesday out of your square root day (as I'm pretty sure a few kids were doing in the library last night), hopefully you took a shot or two in the honor of Euclid and Pythagoras.

In other news, you can sleep safely tonight knowing that you narrowly escaped death a few days ago. Doesn't that just make you feel warm and fuzzy? Not to mention the fact that NASA didn't notice it for two days. Interesting...

Anyways, today has it's own significance as well, but I'll spare you. I had a killer migraine last night that resulted in me going to sleep probably earlier than I have in two months (12:30), and I should be studying right now, but of course I'm not. So, I'm going to go do that. In the meantime, relish your nerdiness, cherish it, water it and keep it in the sun, and it'll pay off eventually.

Last night was the first night in a long time that I had a dream that I know that I'll always remember, and whether or not it comes true, it put me in the perfect mindset to face today and the next crazy week and a half before I get home.

Man, so I'm sorry about the gratuitous posting in the last 24 hours, but it's just hard not to be in a good mood on a snow day...in March!





Now, finally off to hopefully make some productive use of the day :)

Here's to snow days, no responsibilities today, and just being able to relax and drink tea and read in bed and not care. There are always ups and downs to any day though, and more than anything right now I'm just tired of being lied to. So many people have just been kind of telling me what they think I want to hear lately, and I'm just ready for some honesty.

All that being said, today is the perfect start to what's sure to be a stressful rest of the week.

Do I push it down?

I just have to keep reminding myself that there are ups and downs to everything, and even though right now is certainly a "down" time, things will get better. This next week is going to be ridiculous, but I have a good weekend ahead of me and then I'm essentially home free until spring break. I'm holding my breath, but I think I've already seen that a lot can happen in a little bit of time, so for the moment I'm just choosing to avert my gaze, remain fixed on one thing and finish out this last stretch of time before I go home.
This weekend has been pretty alright, but I really don't feel very much desire to just recapitulate everything here. I'm just tired in a very general sense.
But anyways, today I received two news stories that had really conflicting effects on my faith in society. The first, news that the Jonas Brothers 3-D Concert Experienced had tanked at the box office, instilled some much needed hope. Then of course, I saw this:



Aren't we supposed to be done hearing about police brutality? Sure, I saw this when I was already in a bad mood, but it was completely disgusting to me. I don't really know what to say, about anything. Just kind of speechless.
