Holy crap, what the hell happened to that promise of something quirky later... TWO MONTHS AGO...

Ah well, I guess this is it, I suppose =P

---ZOMG SEMI-SERIOUS RANT, SKIP IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE BORED OUT OF YOUR SKULL LOLOL---

I know I had said that "this is all the time I have to commit to this".. but I was totally lying... it's pretty much been on Facebook, Gmail and various webcomic sites. It actually reminds me of this conversation I just had with good pal Jon "Superfly" Seepersaud... the conversation started when he spotted me listening to Fleetwood Mac, and started typing random lyrics.. to which I returned a thinly-veiled surprise that he even listened to ANYTHING like Fleetwood Mac. The conversation wound its course, and somehow ended up on relationships. I had asked about his girlfriend, and it turns out that it'll be 14 months (being ultra-precise by following that by "...in 4 days" o.o)... and then the spotlight turned on me...

*8-mile scene* CHOKE CHOKE CHOKE

So I just started with what seemed natural in my head; super-full course load, mega-labs, uber-projects.. haven't really thought about it at all, all term! He follows this with a "u tellin me u canttakeahalf hour ofa day and EXPLORE"(I guess the spacebar kinda died and ressurected halfway through), and the facade my brain put up just melted away. But then.... there wasn't anything under that facade.. no reason, no explanation... am I just shy? Was the facade the actual truth? I never truly answered them burning questions, because, thankfully, my brain has an anti-breakdown switch, which goes with whatever makes the most sense. If I find myself really connecting with someone, I'm not going to go out of my way to avoid it, because I "don't have time", but I know for sure I do not have time to go Johnny Bravo. And then after that, I didn't think about that anymore.

Overly thinking about settled matters plagues a lot of people, I find. It kinda wears down that anti-breakdown switch. In fact, I had forgotten most of the conversation with Jon (the only things that stuck in my head was that it started with Fleetwood Mac, his precision with the anniversary date, and it ended with him considering watching Basic Instincts starring Sharon Stone), and I needed to really dig to splurge all that above. Say I'm avoiding the important issues, say I'm lying to myself, say my grasp on reality and life is weak, say "Purple Monkey Dishwasher" 50 times, for all I care. This is working just fine, I find =D

---WHEW, THAT WAS SURE DULL, BUT ITS OVER, YAYAY----

AAAaaaaannnyway, I guess the point of all that above was to say that I like putting random stuff like that on xanga, even if people don't read/don't comment/don't care, because I think it's healthy to let my mind take a dump every now and then. I dunno why, but I don't feel comfortable using Facebook's notes system, so here I am, Xangaman! =D

My last exam is this Saturday... there is NO way in HELL that it'll come FAST ENOUGH... Christmas break should be lots of fun, and very relaxing at the same time, plus I have that sweet coop position at AMD/ATI to look forward to afterward! Any Christmas/New Years shindigs going on? I should be totally free =D

the cursed life of an engineer. trust me, you don't want a girl anyway. you ask for a girl, you ask for mood swings, you ask for trouble. What you want is a guy, but make sure he's not in engineering.

akssshay! that's so funny, cause my post was kinda about that too. Well a bit different, but I think we're on the same boat. =D. Franky's totally right. Just wait.. it'll come when it comes. But I don't know what you mean by making you understand why you're so hesitant and apprehensive. lol you're gonna have to get back to me on that, cause i wann know what you mean. Anyhow, good luck on your exams, xangaman! I had ONE. and it was killer. I don't know how I did, but I'm just sooo flippin glad it's done and over. Now I get to go to HK (tomorrow to be precise). I went to aci concert yesterday too. It was good! And omgosh, the band played 3 songs that we did before. Pentland Hills (It's traditional now.. we have to play it every year.. every commencement.. etc), Sleigh Ride (which I complete convinced myself that it was the year before me that played... but i found out i was wrong, because kailee and Jade were both there, and they both remembered playing it. And I kind of do too.. cause brennan got his finger on the.. SNap board.), and there was Incantation and Dance. Anyway, this comment is getting awefully long. I hope you have a wonderful.. well deserved winter holiday =)
