too lazy

Okay, even if I had wanted to accomplish anything today, I don't think it would have happened. Currently, everyone on my MSN contact list is either "away" or "busy", so that's not too thrilling. Also, these stupid gnats that have taken up residence in our house are really getting annoying as hell. We bought a fruit-fly-trap, but I doubt that it's actually doing anything. We suspect that it might be one of the plants that's housing all of these wretched insects, but instead of getting rid of it, mother has opted instead to keep it. It's not even a particularly nice plant, in my opinion, which just makes matters worse. Seriously, folks, I'm tired of these flies already.

Alright, a brief walk through my day: Got up, showered, caught the bus to school and went to the library session in my first class. Instead of a boring lecture about optimality theory, we had a boring session about how to search for things in the library. I would have probably skipped it, but he made attendence to the session worth four percent of the final mark. Then I went to the atrium where Steph found me and we chatted about horrible school and the like for an hour. Next, German class, where pretty much nothing happened. Then, back to the atrium where I found Lindsey and Caitlin. I tried to convince Cate that she should marry me if I were king of the moon and she could be queen of the moon and we could go swim in Billy Corgan's pool because he'd probably be pretty excited to have the king and queen of the moon over for drinks. Then it was off to watch a presentation in child language acquisition and barely pay attention to the subsequent lecture. Finally, a semi-interesting German phonology class and I was on my way back home.

When I got home and about five o'clock, mother had some kraft dinner all ready for me, so I ate that (as my breakfast, and it's looking like that's going to be my only food of the day) and then proceeded to go immediately back to bed. A couple hours ago I woke back up and was still pretty tired. Not really much more to say about my day, I don't think. I was going to write an essay to post on my blog just for something to do, but I'm rather uninspired to deal with that right now. I also searched the internet for one of those big long email "about me" survey things. The plan is to fill it out and link to it from the right side of the page there under my description. I figure it'll give you folks something to read when I finally get around to finishing it. The joke is how the only one I could find was at the webpage of someone called Meggers, who has a good friend named Lindsay and knows someone named Alex. What a lovely coincidence. Of course, deleting all of her answers took half an hour, and then it's going to take me more hours to finish filling it out. As you could probably guess, I'm not inspired to deal with that either.

Right, and there was one other big joke of the day. You remember me talking about that girl in linguistics who reminded me a lot of Meghan and was real pretty-like and phonetically clever and all that? Well, as it turns out, she's celebrating her eight-month anniversary on Valentine's Day. That's completely in keeping with the properties of the girls I find myself having some sort of crush on. Every single one of them has been taken already. At this point, I'm having trouble deciding whether I'm extremely sad about it or if I'm rather amused. Maybe it's both. I wonder if there are any good girls out there who aren't already taken, or if I've already missed the boat on that one...

Update: I've just taken a new picture of myself for the top right corner of the page. You can click on it for the full-sized picture if you're so inclined.
