More on work, laziness, and fansubs.
Mar. 29th, 2008 11:15 amWork was deader than dead, so I got sent home four hours early. Went to Nolte to check for my iPod which went missing sometime between leaving the Rec and getting dropped off by Tasha yesterday (to be fair I did check to make sure I had it with me before I went anywhere, but one of those times I must have mistaken my camera for my iPod), but all Nolte doors were locked; went to Jones to use the computer lab, but the computer lab was closed; finally I came to Walter to use the lab here, and here is where I am.
I really, really, really should go swimming today, but the whiny brat inside is resisting full-force, and I'll probably not go in the end. :(
So anyways, I'm trying to figure out exactly what to do with the rest of my day. I'm going to be heading over to John's at some point, but I'm not sure when or if I should stop by home first. On the one hand, I don't think going home would leave me with much time at all before I have to head off again. On the other, if I stay at Walter and study until I leave, I don't think the textbooks I have with me will last. (Oh, wait, if I just check my syllabus online I can figure out what the next reading assignments are from those two books and read that. Doi...)

(On a less serious note, the English is funny. :) And who calls it "fan-subtitles" anyway?)
And because I'm a procrastinator, a quiz:
1. In three words, explain what ended your last relationship?
Insecurity and immaturity?
3. What were you doing this morning at 8?
Sleeping in my chair at work.
4. What were you doing 15 minutes ago
Putzing on the 'net.
5. Are you any good at math?
As long as it doesn't require any insight.
6. How was your prom night?
Quite fun, although I probably made a bit of a fool of myself. ^_^;
7. Do you have any famous ancestors?
According to my grandma I'm a direct descendant of someone from the Mayflower.
8. [Where is number 8 anyway?]
Taking a nap.
9. Do you know the words to the song on your myspace profile?
*logs into myspace to see what said song is, only to see that it has been deleted by the artist* So does that mean I know the words perfectly or don't know them at all?
10. Last thing you received in the mail?
Something from a group for the humane treatment of animals.
11. How many different beverages have you drank today?
Mmm... One. Tea. (Shite, I forgot my can of tea bags at Northrop... Maybe I should go get them... :-/)
12. Do you ever leave messages on people's answering machines?
Mmm, about a third of the time. More often I just hang up.
13. Who did you lose your CONCERT virginity to?
Brian Wilson and Paul Simon - does that mean I had a threesome?
14. Do you draw your name in the sand when you go to the beach?
Nope.
15. What's the most painful dental procedure you've had?
I haven't really had any dental procedures that were painful, so I suppose I'll be lame and just say the discomfort of tightened braces.

My back yard. More specifically the dog run.
17. Any plans for Friday night?
Next Friday? Probably just to study and work on homework. Maybe clean.
18. Do you like the ocean?
Never been.
Nay, I lie, I think I was at the ocean when we went to Ruegen for Christmas, but it was cold and kind of blah, so I guess I need to go again before I can really decide.
19. Have you ever received one of those big tins of 3 different kinds of popcorn for christmas?
Not personally, but I've partaken in them.

26. Where do you keep your change?
In one of my front pockets, and I put it in my change jar when I get home.

28. What kind of winter coat do you have?
A not particularly warm white one from the Gap that my mom bought me for either Christmas or my birthday.
30. Do you sleep with the door to your room open or closed?
Well, right now I can't see my door from my bed, as I live in our attic. When I lived in the dorms I usually slept with the door closed because I didn't get along with my roommate, and when I lived at my mom's I think I usually slept with it open just a crack because I didn't like the dark.

Mirror? What mirror?

A plain white t-shirt I wear to put under my tux shirt when I work at catering.
8. What were you doing 20 minutes ago?
As
baranoneko put it, "Sitting here doing this quiz!".

Same thing I do every midnight, Pinky! Putzing on the internet.

It's been a while.

27. The last song you listened to
Probably some rock song in
hampster_cowboy's car.
29. If you could punch 1 person in the face who's in your life right now, who would it be?
Not to say that I haven't wanted to punch people in the face before, but I don't think there's anyone fitting the description right now.
30. If you could see one person right now who would it be?
Honestly, I'm feeling rather introverted at the moment, so no-one.
Okay, it's been a full 90 minutes since I've gotten off of work and I haven't actually done anything useful yet, so I'm gonna go look up the bus route/timing to John's and then get to studying. I promise I'll talk about the ochakai by tomorrow - hold me to it!
I really, really, really should go swimming today, but the whiny brat inside is resisting full-force, and I'll probably not go in the end. :(
