@Aiko: [re: bleach] Yeah, I'm getting sick of bleach. It WAS awesome... Now its just two episodes of nothing and two episodes of fight. Over and over.... Its making me mad...


Valentines day is just another day, You don't need love and love is best when it finds you. Not the other way around. Love can only be given. When taken, it cuts the hand of those who touch it.
Chances are, If you find love, its just that and nothing more.

And B, the only reason why you don't know people are holding the door open for you is because nobody bows and motions in with a swooping hand.
Try it sometime, Ither nobody wants to go through the door because your standing next to it, Or they know what your doing.
Door opening is fun. You get to peer into a stranger's heart for three seconds.
You get a mix of emotions, anger, inconveniences, presuppositions, challenged d self efficiency, thankfulness, and sometimes a verbal "thank you".

Yes, Door opening is as much manners as it is a sport for me. *Hahaha*

Speaking of on sale... I'm walking to CVS to get peanut m&ms...... *mmmmm*

I always say thank you when someone leaves the door open for me. It's just rude to let it close on you when you know there's someone right behind you.

I just woke up. If that didn't make sense, shoot me... with caffeine.

I like the video Outrack posted regarding Valentine's Day.

Anyways, I'm 31, violently divorced since 24, and had been single ever since. Okay, maybe a date or two there, but those were merely by happenstance. I didn't go out of my way to someone and say "yo, wanna go out or something?" I think doing that is just flat out inconsiderate. The woman's not even going to be thinking along those lines, and suddenly, you're the inconvenience.

I believe in "happy accidents". Two meet by accident, and things just click. This has yet to happen to me for six years. One gets so accustomed to their marital status that having someone else in the picture actually gets scary. Trust, territory, apprehensions, etc. In fact, it starts to turn into one of those things that you hear about on the radio... read about in books... see on TV... witness others' do. I'm not one of those others, this is perfectly fine, one would think.

So, Valentine's Day is that thing that other people do because I'm not one of those other people that I have met by accident.... yet?

You know what Qualanx? That sounds pretty damn attractive to me.
You can't be serious. You're just saying that to make me feel better, aren't you? :'(
Takeoff.

Bah, I deflect all forms of that silly, squishy, nonsecal (And sometimes what i liked to call "Love Bullshit.") forms of love with my dark soul XD.

Not saying a soul like me can't find love, it's not the love that most people imagine. It's a 'love' that can grow when a relationship grows deep, and it like what B described. You might find someone who you'll connect to eventually; if not, remember that "Being single is not the same as being alone".

And in agreement with Aiko, relationships do tend to get overrated. Very.
"I believe that the human spirit is indomitable. If you endeavor to achieve, it will happen given enough resolve. It may not be immediate, and often your greater dreams is something you will not achieve within your own lifetime. The effort you put forth to anything transcends yourself, for there is no futility even in death."

Wuargh...

Okay, so most of you know that my field work sucks, right? Until now I haven't had a suitable rant for it, it's been that bad. I'm in my small mammal trapping season, so let me summarize the horrible points.

1. Laying down and flagging 1200 snap traps takes 12 hours.
2. Baiting 1200 snap traps takes 12 hours.
3. My technician threatened to quit on the first day.
4. The university changed their hiring policies again without telling anyone and screwed up my technician's payroll. This is now fixed, but I got yelled at for letting him work before he was on payroll. What the hell was I supposed to do otherwise? I can't have him sitting on his ass in my apartment while they get their ridiculous paperwork in order, especially not when I already made hotel reservations!
5. In 48 hours with 1200 traps, I have caught exactly THREE things. One Eastern Cottontail (rabbit), 1 Eastern Harvest Mouse, and 1 Hermit Thrush. The mouse and the bird I had to kill myself because the traps only wounded them. *sigh* I hate doing that.
6. Fire ants suck. They clean all the bait off the traps in 24 hours, making us rebait 1200 traps nearly every day.

And today I was stabbed by a really big thorn. It went about a quarter of an inch into the joint on my thumb and made a really nice puncture wound. My thumb is now swollen and painful. If it doesn't improve in 48 hours I'm going to the local Emergency One ward to get a tetanus shot and some antibiotics to prevent blood poisoning.

Aren't you guys envious of me?

I just _____ in the _____.

Yes Qualanx, I mean it. Outgoing, bubbly people can go jump off a cliff. Maybe if we ever go on a date together we can spend the romantic evening over dinner whilst avoiding making eye contact.

And yes, I get the door for people, I just don't understand when a specific person gets the door for me.

I'd have a rant, but then you'd realize I'm some whiny, emo-case. Meh, let's just say apparently Valentine's Day was like a slow-acting poision, the effects didn't kick in until last night when I tried to go to sleep.

I did manage to find some humor in the fact that, when I woke up, my bed linens looked like a throwback to my childhood self.

...there was a pillow on my knees.

For those of you familiar with Much Ado About Nothing, you may be aware that there is a line that Beatrice says that queues a certain action from Hero.

Beatrice Act 2 Scene 1
 

Speak, cousin; or, if you cannot, stop his mouth
with a kiss, and let not him speak neither.


We worked on Act 2 Scene 1 today.

Now, many of the men in this world would jump at the opportunity to kiss a girl, on stage, without any chance of retribution from the boyfriend of that particular girl. However, being the awkward person I am, I completely tensed up as she entered my personal bubble. The rest of the rehearsal was using various methods to get me to relax.

Not fun.

And that's not even the best part. The best part is that I need to get over this by tomorrow's rehearsal, because ready or not I'm going to have to go through with it then.
