Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

First, the obligatory opening sentence: I'm done with finals for the semester.

Coincidentally, I'm also done with the semester. Funny how those two things always seem to coincide, which stands to reason given the obvious etymological relationship between the words coincidentally and coincide--

That wasn't me talking just then. That was just an unfortunate aftereffect of my linguistics class.

But enough about that. On to more pressing issues, such as major events in my life, which I will now detail in convenient, easy to read, LIST FORMAT!

1. I have decided against ending all sentences about myself with the phrase "in accordance with prophecy."

2. I found out, once again, that I still hate formal occasions (in accordance with prophecy). Whoever first came up with the idea of men intentionally wearing silk nooses around their necks was a moron who greatly abused his power and influence.

3. There really wasn't a third major event lately.

4. I had an unpleasant amount of free time recently. The time was nice, but there was absolutely nothing to do. So after watching every DVD I had (some in more than one language, such as Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese...), I finally beat Final Fantasy X-2. Twice. From the beginning. In one week.

5. After beating a certain game (which shall remain nameless) twice, I once again came face-to-face with that dreaded inner demon who calls himself "You-Have-No-Life." As much as I hate to say it, that obnoxious demon often has a point.

6. I found solid proof that Bigfoot exists, but Elvis stole my evidence while I was inventing cold fusion.

7. My compulsive lying streak is no longer an issue, as I have now become the paragon of honesty. Those who know me are most likely not surprised by this recent development.

8. One of my friends is taking her sweet time repaying a loan. As usual.

9. Insomnia still sucks. Why else would I be up this late typing a journal entry?

10. I am still able to count to ten, if given enough tries. Also, just before I started this list, I put a comma after "easy to read." That comma doesn't belong there, and you probably would have just let it stay like that instead of saying something. Great! So now I look like a blithering idiot, while all of you just sit back and watch. Thanks a lot, guys. I used to think you were cool.

11. In an oddly complex tangle of relationships, I am avoiding some of my friends (at least one), others are avoiding me (at least most of them), and (exactly two) others have gone Amish on me, making long-distance communication somewhat challenging.

12. Against my better judgment, I might have ended up falling in love with someone. However, I refuse to tell my friends who she is because they're acting much too sane lately. I also refuse to tell her that I like her (if that is the case ninja ), because there is a fairly good chance that she would tear off my limbs and beat me with them relentlessly. And I have plans for those limbs. Stupid plans perhaps, but they are plans nonetheless.

13. I was just kidding about the comma stuff earlier. It actually doesn't belong there, but I don't really hate you all because of it or anything. Still, I might feel a bit better if you commented in my journal or profile or something.

So that's an unusually detailed account of my life recently. Naturally, the list ended at 13, a number that's just full of luck. Just not the good kind of luck.

I'm a bit thirsty, and I believe I'm entering the early phases of Mountain Dew withdrawal. So if there are no objections, I must prepare to drink more nog this year than man was ever meant to consume.

Hey, someone's gotta do it.

Or something like that.
