sawblade and speak and spell

my advice for you guys today? don't grow up poor. if you already did grow up poor, go back in time and have not done that. especially if the people in your family have bad teeth and you don't have dental insurance. because you will end up 28 years old and missing three molars and about to lose another ! and also, you will have had so many root canals that you actually lost count of them.



i know that's shitty advice, because poor people are the ones least likely to time travel (cost prohibitive, can't miss work, etc.) but it may be my only option at this point.

hey. i'm in a bad mood.

history and german last night. we're getting ready for our finals, and my history final is worrying me. it's a word document we download and write in and upload again- it's open book, and available for 24 hours, but it's 24 hours in the middle of the work week. like... it's available at 6pm on wednesday, then i have my german class from 7-8:45 on wednesday night, then i guess i have to do it before bed? cause i work 8-5 the next day. i'm sort of bummed- between this and my german professor scheduling interviews during the work day friday i'm getting anxious about how school will work with my work schedule. blehhhh.

i was actually going to take a day off next week to work on my final, but since i have to deal with my tooth today i don't think i'll be able to do that. ugh. at least brooke gets here thursday- brooke is one of my favorite people on planet earth and i cannot believeeeeee she's actually going to be here ! everyone, we have to do a good job of selling philly to her so she moves here. everyone be great ! independence hall, be historic ! ben franklin museum, be charming but janky ! liberty bell, stay cracked ! christina, be weird ! mouse, don't wear short shorts ! we have to make this perfect so brooke (and also julz- julz doesn't know me yet but i'm putting her in my poké ball too) moves here.



what else? no real plans this weekend, which is okay with me. tonight i'm probably going to work on my homework so i don't waste a whole day doing it tomorrow, and then saturday i'm probably going to work on my craft swap project. on sunday mouse and i are going to go do a thing but we don't know what yet !

to-do list for the weekend
- german essay
- misc. german homework
- history essay (i'm actually DONE with the reading for the week already !)
- supplemental history reading
- work on craft swap thing
- read m is for magic
- catch up on sleep

i guess most of that sounds pretty boring, but i promise that next week will be cooler.

p.s. fuck teeth.

ride it- my pony

wazzaaaaaaaaaaa. i'm so ridiculously caught up at work that i'm digging around for stuff to work on. summer is our slow season at work, and i have a few summer projects lined up, and i may start them early because i'm so bored.

last night was business as usual, at least for the forseeable future. i came home and hung out with christina for a bit (we watched vocal adrenaline's performance on the glee finale) and then played borderlands with perry. my character leveled twice, so now it's level 9 or 10? and we got the ability to ride in a vehicle. i think maybe i'm getting the hang of targeting shit? we dueled each other and i won twice, but only cause i killed him while he was explaining stuff to me and wasn't shooting back. he said that he didn't mind because it shows that i have the killer instinct and he can respect that.



then my friend ken and i watched a movie together. one thing you may NOT know about the xbox 360 is that you can form a party with friends and all watch the same netflix movie together- like, it syncs it up on everyone's tvs ! it's basically the coolest thing ever, though our movie choice of robot vs. aztec mummy was a poor one. while i love mystery science theater 3000, i have to admit that it's pretty hard to talk during them because you're automatically competing with one person and two robots who are funnier than you are.



it actually didn't occur to me until i watched that that mummies can be from places other than egypt. this opens up a whole world of mummies that i've never thought about !

what else? i talked to mouse and made plans to hang out tonight. he's been getting jiu jitsu compliments from his instructors lately. could a purple belt be in the works?!??!! unfortunately, brazilian jiu jitsu isn't like YMCA karate (how many of us knew black belts in like, fifth grade?) and it takes a few years to advance, and he only got his blue belt recently. it's oddly exciting for me to hear about his progress because he loves jiu jitsu so much and i still remember him stopping by after his first class, happier and more psyched than i'd ever seen him, super excited to tell me about... getting his ass kicked?


some jiu jitsu guys doing a thing

oh yeah, i forgot to mention this- my xbox gamertag is scummanifesto (hee hee), so you can add me and maybe we can play one of two games i have together? i should have left 4 dead 2 soon too.

p.s. i'm bored !!!!!!!!
p.p.s. i've been thinking about it and i'm oddly excited to buy school supplies for my classes in july?
