Exhaustion

nobody@vox.com(Bouche) — Fri, 16 May 2008 00:04:30 -0400

I function well when I'm exhausted.

I'm not taking "about to die exhausted", just the level where you're more in tune with how your muscles don't want to fight gravity any longer. How there's a weight on your eyelid that seems to want to keep it shut. Quiet contemplative thoughts, scrambling for where I left off and who I needed to help next. It was a juggling act. It felt like too much and I didn't do perfect, but I'm proud for doing what I got done.

I'm pissed about thinking I lost my checking card. I'm pissed that I had to jump through my banks hoops to put a hold on my accounts and scrambling to figure out if there are any automated payments that might bounce. I wasn't thrilled about the little sniper calls from people who chipmunked my number away for when they need my help (because my phone's ring makes me jump) but I didn't show it. I got over it and I made them happy. They have other people's email address and phone numbers, other people that could hook them up with me, but they like the source and while this sounds cocky "I can't say I blame them". I fought my away around, I got my answers, I know who to go to when I need something that's out my grasp. Most of the time I'm about results and who shouldn't be proud of that. I'm not crazy with saying no. I don't mop myself into corners by doing -everything- someones way -- sometimes I can cut straight to the heart with an email and avoid begging, pleading, tone of voice, and strange reasoning ... When I sense "emotion flags", I love communicating through email. Just tell me your problem, I don't need the "puppy" act.

I'm happy I got some more work done on our system and got more positive feed back. I like feeling like what I do is ultimately beneficial. I hope in some way the things I do can make a difference.

I'm happy I got to spend time with my sister. I'm relieved that we had some time to talk and make light of everything that irks us. I'm proud of acting goofy and making her and my neice laugh.

Finally, I'm excited I get to sleep now. despite the bug to do more "stuff", to have "fun", and browse around... I need to recharge! Night people!

Candlebox?

I never minded them. Take them or leave them. "Meh". I just listened to their new single and I swear to god it soundes just like a lot of their old stuff. Kind of like the "nickleback" sort of "this shit sounds a lot alike!" But I guess if you like that stuff, you shuld be all like "awesome dude... fuckin' a". *shrug* good for them

What pisses me off about today ...

nobody@vox.com(Bouche) — Thu, 15 May 2008 23:27:57 -0400

Losing my checking card pissed me off.

Finding it just a few minutes ago makes me angrier.

QotD: Oh Sorry, Did I Offend You?

Who was the last person you offended?
Submitted by May.

Today? On purpose? Inadvertanly? No one as far as I know. A week or two ago, I offended a few people and I wasn't in the most pleasant of moods. I apologized.

I have not been posty.

There are lots of things going on. Good things. Bad things. Fun things. Completely self-destructive, irresponsible things. Wonderful things. But I just don't feel like talking about any of those things. Sorry.

nobody@vox.com(Worker) — Thu, 15 May 2008 18:05:48 -0400

Rule: Summarize your life in a six word memoir, with optional photo illustration. Then tag six others.

Sarah tagged me, I always thought I ran quick..bugger

Actually I like this one and it took me two days of thinking but I would say this is it;

Live Today, Dream Tomorrow, Love Forever..

As for tagging six others...only if you want guys :)

I should totally not be proud of this...

nobody@vox.com(Brian) — Thu, 15 May 2008 12:09:00 -0400

But I just scored 94% on the "Skin disease or Dungeons & Dragons character?" quiz.

There is unseemly chairdancing.

I like it, despite my evident wrinkliness. I'm wondering if I should perhaps invest in an iron...

Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines

nobody@vox.com(Cat) — Thu, 15 May 2008 07:27:21 -0400

I'm usually in bed every night at 9pm. I don't watch much tv.

So the only thing that annoys me more than the tv station changing one of my shows to a starting time of 10.30pm, is them making it sound that doing so is a lovely experience for me.

Is this the only house in australia that watches Lost anymore? Are there so few people watching it now that it has to start at 10.30pm. Remember the good old days when it used to start at 8.30pm?

But it's the way they announce it as being at A Special New Time that pisses me off.

It's very special. Thats why I'm sitting here at 9.17pm eating chocolate and drinking coffee, with over two hours ahead of me before I hit the pillow.

I know, I know, I could tape it. But I never seem to go back and watch anything I tape. If I don't watch it, I don't see it.

So I'm filling some time. (What did we do before the internet.) And I found this.

These are plans someone drew in 1670 for a flying machine. I'm just not sure about it. I can't imagine ever really feeling optimistic that this was ever going to work

Flying-machine-design-1670

But I hope the guy who drew this is up there now looking at all our flying machines. I think he'd get a real kick out of them
