Thursday was my birthday, and it was pretty epic, so I thought I'd share!
So, I had SO much to do at work that day. I had NINE essays to mark, a whole bunch of random admin stuff to do, AND I was going to finish my JET application in the morning so I could post it at lunch. I knew it was going to be a really busy day.
I get to work, and they're all like, hey Joyce called in sick can you take ALL HER CLASSES? Heh. Of course I can. I am super. Thank god for TESOL students, though a couple of them were kind of useless. A lot of the classes went like this:
Me: So, Joyce gave you a worksheet booklet yesterday, right?
Class: Yes, teacher.
Me: Um.... work on that for a while. I have PMM essays to mark.
Class: Yes, teacher.
So the ESL classes were fine. I got a few essays done. And I got a nice birthday card from the staff! And I got a really sweet card from one of my students, Daisy. But, no time to finish the JET package.
When the ESL classes finish for the day there's still a half hour of PMM left so I go downstairs to check in and hand back essays and stuff. I get down there, the lights are off, they're waiting in the dark with TWO cakes! They all yell surprise and sing and I turn red. One cake was a white chocolate cranberry cheesecake and the other was this huge layered chocolate mousse cake thing! Wow! Then Julie, who used to be in PMM and doesn't even go to KGIC anymore comes and gives me a present! I got a box of Purdy's peanut butter daisies. Yum. And Kate, who is also a former PMM student bought me this beautiful mug with reindeer on it. I want to bring it home to show off to people, but I'm going to keep it at work for now so I can show off when I drink my tea at school.
AND I did stay late to finish my JET package, and got it in the post, just in time for the deadline!! |

Ganked from a mailing list I'm on:
This will boggle your mind and you will keep trying it over and
over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but you can't. It's
preprogrammed in your brain!
1. WITHOUT anyone watching you (they will think you are CRAZY, or
STUPID... :) and while sitting where you are at your desk in front of
your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise
circles with it.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your
right hand. Your foot will change direction.
I told you so!!!
And there's nothing you can do about it! |

An observation:
When the bottom half of your mouth is frozen (after having fillings done) speaking Japanese sounds a hell of a lot stranger and sillier than trying to speak English.
Also:
Our Lady Peace is coming to Victoria in April. I'm not so sure I'd care except for the fact that I'm pretty sure seeing them live is something I put on one of those "things to do before I die" lists when I was like 14. I kind of feel like I should honour my younger self and go even though I haven't like their last three albums but alas, I do not have $44. |

So okay yeah, I sort of knew that I don't have many people in my life right now. But that I have less friends/family than money? Seeing as how I'm about the most poor I've ever been, that's really quite harsh.
Someone love me! T_T |

Normal
Being average in terms of how social you are, as well as the amount of self-esteem you have, you're pretty much normal. Good on you.

Mel: "This edition of the Bible moves pretty fast... look here's the birth of Jesus on this page and then here's John the Baptist over here! Good thing they tell the story four fucking times..."
Cory: "Yeah! The Bible is like a really good movie that tells the same story from four different perspectives. It's so indie." |

So I finally made it through all 39 episodes of Shoujo Kakumei Utena.
*twitch twitch*
Uh yeah. Wow. My brain kind of hurts. I liked how they waited until the Very Last Second to reveal that yes, indeed, there is a happy ending. So I was sort of on the edge of my seat swearing at the computer till then. But everything turned out okay. So I don't have to start any letter-writing campaigns or anything. |

It goes like this: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "5 weird habits of yours" and people who get tagged need to write an LJ entry about their 5 quirky habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 5 people to be tagged and list their names.
1. Whenever I sit down on a large chair or a couch I almost always sit down on my right foot initially; and I almost always move it away in like five minutes or less.
2. I drink a lot of tea and even though I'm good with clearing away my mugs/cups I always forget about the spoons. So you can kind of tell where in my apartment I hang out because I tend to leave a trail of spoons behind.
3. Not only do I procrastinate the usual things like homework, chores, etc, I have a weird habit of putting off fun things too, like watching a video or doing a drawing or playing video games.
4. Is knitting everywhere I go considered a quirky habit? I dunno, I'm sort of stretching here.
5. If there is any sort of pen and any sort of paper in front of me for more than two minutes, the paper will be covered in all sorts of dots/squiggly lines/geometric shapes.
Okay, I tag: amethest, frisbeeseppuku, aurabright, mydochas, and _ninabruja. piig, I want to tag you too, but I also want you to know that I am aware and sensitive of your brain splosion-ness. |

So it's entirely my fault for not being more active in the online fandom, but I just now found out that Thee Michelle Gun Elephant broke up in 2003. I am sincerely bummed. |

Okay, I have a really dumb question for all my LJ-savvier-than-I friends out there: when taking an icon, like from an icon community, how exactly do you give credit to the person who made the icon? |

| Everyone else LJ's their roommates, why can't I? |

Last night I was on my computer when I notice Cory open the pantry door and stare inside it. After a few moments of deliberation he grabs a can and disapeers into the kitchen with it. A minute later he's eating out of the can with a spoon and about to disapear down the hallway. Curious, I stop him.
Me: Hey Cory, what are you eating?
Cory: Cranberries. *points to the can of cranberry sauce he's holding*
Me: *stares*
Cory: What? I like cranberries. |
