The Obligatory March List
- I think I’m the only person on Tumblr who is not a member of at least one of the following fandoms: Sherlock, Harry Potter, Dr. Who, LotR, Princess Bride, How I Met Your Mother, Homestuck.
- Of course, I obsessively track the tags “statistics”, “calculus”, “Leibniz”, “Achievement Hunters”, and “Metalocalypse”, so maybe I should shut up.
- But the “calculus” tag makes me sad ‘cause mostly it’s just people saying how much they hate it.
- Andnspeaking of Achievement Hunters, I am not ashamed to admit that I’m in love with every single one of those guys. I had a dream about the Tower of Pimps last night and I woke up laughing.
- Even though I don’t believe in astrology, I think it’s fun to think about. Every time I can, I test it as a variable in my analyses. Just ‘cause.
- I’m not an aesthetically pleasing person. I’m just not. I’ve pretty much come to terms with this, but someone recently brought it back to the forefront of my attention and I can’t stop thinking about it. Fuck.
- This is the time of the year when I get really, really, really lonely.
- I have really bad anger issues. I also have really bad methods of dealing with them.
- March blows.
- My job is pretty much the only thing that’s keeping me (relatively) sane right now. This buttface depression won’t go away, but even on the worst days when I don’t even feel like teaching, once I’m actually teaching I feel so much better.
- I always check the “missed connections” section on Craigslist just to see if I’m ever listed as a connection worth missing. I know I’ll never be, but it’s fun to have pointless hopes.
- Leibniz needs to come back to life. I need him. In my pants.
- I’m taking a picture of the soles of my new walking shoes every 50 miles to see how they wear over time. It’ll be cool once I’ve got a bunch of photos and can transition through them.
- I miss all-night basement Rock Band parties.
- I especially miss all-night basement naked Rock Band parties.
- HELL SOMEONE JUST GET NAKED WITH ME I’M SO LONELY
- The laws of physics do not apply universally. Example case: my hair.
- Don’t you hate it when you love doing something but you’re just horrible at doing it?
- Note: I am NOT horrible at getting naked.
- Thanks to my non-fiction class, I have a freakish urge to write a memoir. Which is ridiculous, ‘cause who gives a crap about my life? I don’t even give a crap about my life.
- That’s what my blog is for. My blog is my memoir.
Shittiest memoir ever.- Speaking of my blog, sorry my posts have been pretty depressing this year. I haven’t been in a good head space and I don’t have anyone to talk to so I pretty much just vomit the excess nonsense out in blog form.
- You know what? I shouldn’t say I’m lonely. I like being alone. I prefer it to constantly having to entertain someone.
- Why the hell do I want to go back to Vancouver? Whywhywhywhywhy?!
- Man, I’ve really screwed up my life, haven’t I?
- I miss marching band like crazy.
- I had a dream the other night where my calc teacher couldn’t find any paper in order to copy our final exams, so we had to make up an interpretive dance of one of the things we learned over the semester in order to pass. I failed because I couldn’t do the splits, which is apparently the interpretive dance version for doing a trig substitution. Dafuq?
- Calculus calms me down. I’m going to go do some ‘cause I’m getting really antsy right now.
- Bye!
I have “Circus Afro” stuck in my head. WHY.
- I think James Horner is my favorite film music composer.
- Why do people fly in helicopters? They seem like the most unstable thing ever to fly.
- “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” was on TV earlier. I haven’t seen that movie in forever.
- At what point does bread become toast? I SEE AN EXPERIMENT IN THE FUTURE!
- Oh my god, there’s a toaster museum. ROAD TRIP.
- I want an art degree. Because I want an art degree.
- I’d link to the actual site, but this video is pretty hilarious. Do not watch if you’re prone to seizures.
Bits n’ Bobs
I’m hyper tonight.
- Two phrases I cannot stand: baby daddy and adorbs. Seriously, people?
- The first three or four times I heard Nicki Minaj’s “Starship” I could have sworn instead of “and if you a G, you a G-G-G” she was saying “and if you a tree, you a tree tree tree.” Go listen to that part. Tell me that’s not what it sounds like.
I need to get off the internet.
- Speaking of the internet: I predict that it won’t be long now until there’s some sort of college major relating directly to the internet. Like Web Studies or something. I can’t remember if I’ve ever said that here or not, but I’m saying it now anyway.
- I like Adele, but Rumour Has It drives me insane. Probably ‘cause I’ve only ever really heard it in the office and since the radio is like halfway down the hall, all I hear is this weird half-melody that’s got a really annoying repetitive nature to it.
- So I think I’m going to have to break down and buy the book form of The Brave Little Toaster because…well, because. Dude, I mean…it’s the brave little toaster.
- I’d forgotten what a downer Prime was. Especially toward the end. It was supposed to be this light-hearted little story about talking numbers. It got dark as hell kind of on its own. It’s also kind of boring in parts. Gotta fix that. Might keep the darkness, though, ‘cause it works.
- The chorus of David Guetta’s Without You really gets me going. This little animated lyrics video adds to that.
- I really miss Rob tonight. What’s up with that?
- I want this.
- I’m in a major drawing mood. I might do something involving the zodiac signs because a) that’d be badass, b) I don’t care if it’s pseudoscience, the zodiac is fun, and c) I want to.
- Dudes, Dethklok’s touring later this year and is coming to Phoenix. Tickets might have to happen.
END!
Good lord, March, are you over yet?
1. The old video I found of my roomies and I playing Rock Band cheered me up immensely.
2. I’m tired of living in basements/ground floor apartments.
3. I finally kind of sort of like my hair.
4. I must again reassert how awesome Sleepyhead is.
5. LONELY LONELY LONELY LONELY.
6. I spent twelve hours yesterday doing the only thing I can do for twelve hours straight.
7. I’m realizing I lack the courage to give up.
8. Fallout 3 has saved my sanity on multiple occasions.
9. Regression makes me happy.
10. Eleven is my favorite number.
11. I miss my drums.
12. I miss being amused by Sean’s constant need to acquire more musical instruments.
13. I miss Sean.
14. Quite often I forget I already have a college education.
15. Quite often I forget that I’m not in the States anymore.
16. Jason Mraz bothers me.
17. Carmex is addictive.
18. The only synesthesia-esque experience I ever have is seeing classes in color. I know that’s entirely strange, but it’s true. For example, Regression is red, ANOVA is blue, Measurement is white, Ralph’s Intro Stats was purple, as was Statistical Computing. Hence my obsessive matching of notebook color to specific classes.
19. I want some more Red Bull, because drinking something out of a can makes me feel manly.
20. My landlady needs to shut up.
21. I’m ridiculously excited for differential calculus this summer.
22. I almost answered a Craigslist personal the other night.
23. Rock Band parties…how I miss them.
24. Screw you, March.
25. Up here, grades = marks, grading papers = marking papers, proctoring = invigilating, taking a test = writing an exam, being smart = being a keener, and my sanity = nonexistent.
26. My drawing skills are laughably bad.
27. I don’t do well with change.
28. Vancouver needs more chubby guys.
29. I want a car.
30. I’ve always wanted to get involved in professional wine-tasting, but I think my lack of olfaction would cause me to be horrible at it.
31. I am incapable of having a healthy relationship with anything, be it a person, object, idea, or emotion.
32. I don’t like painting my nails any color other than black. In fact, I prefer black over not having my nails painted at all. If it’s good enough for Nathan Explosion, it’s good enough for me.
33. I’ve been told like ten times up here that I don’t look like a quantitative/stats student, I look more like an art student. I’m not quite sure whether to take that as an insult or a compliment.
34. A large reason for downloading a new song for every day of 2010 is so I have a nice new dataset to analyze come 2011.
35. My education is a veritable grab-bag of “I don’t know what I want to do with my life…OH WAIT YES I DO…oh wait, no I don’t.”
36. Thinking about the U of I Honors Program fills me with RAAAAAAGE!
37. The only reason I’m not on the 4.0 plaque is because AP credits count as “transfer credits,” apparently, and thus I am disqualified. What kind of bullshit is that? I earned that 4.0 with every ounce of my being.
38. e is way too underappreciated…I guess it’s just outshined by pi.
39. Just because I’m in Quantitative Psych doesn’t mean I can do basic math in my head, so stop assuming I can.
40. I’ve always wanted to know if having that “u” in words like “colour” and “favour” causes there to be more u’s than other vowels in British English, or if American English is deficient in u’s, or if it doesn’t make that much of a difference because there aren’t that many words that are different between the two versions.
41. If spooning is pressing one lover’s front against the back of the other lover, and forking is sex, is sporking butt sex?
42. Facebook has pretty much lost all of its appeal, mainly due to the apps and the fact that they can’t seem to stay in a relationship with a single layout for more than a month.
43. I miss the insanity that was taking 22-25 credits per semester.
44. Grounded for Life was an excellent show.
45. Muse, man. They get better the more you listen to them.
46. Jeremy is the third best professor I’ve had, and the best stats professor I’ve had.
47. I just noticed that the two songs I have named “Symmetry” are right next to each other in play count.
48. I miss Art Camp.
49. I miss screwing around with clay entirely.
50. It’s 11 at night, but I’m still going to sing Don’t Stop Believin’ as loud as a freaking want to.
51. This list is pointless.
Today’s song: Undisclosed Desires by Muse
The results are in! The “white males ages 0-12 months” demographic loves my blogs!
Today I shall present to you a numbered list of little items of news involving me/work/life/the sky. Commence enjoyment.
1. I was peacefully reading a book whilst sitting in my chair this afternoon when I swear this plane flew about fifty feet above our house. Scared the crap outta me. Stupid plane. I’m boycotting.
2. The fry station and I have engaged in hand-to-hand (hand-to-metal?) combat on several separate occasions.
3. I decided to put a new picture album up on here. It’s called “Travel.” It’s only got about eight pictures in it, but I may add more later. They’re from Alaska, Sweden, Finland and London and are all in no particular order!
4. I get a little too excited when socks come in the mail.
5. I dug through all my old crap (I had consolidated it last summer so that it all fits into a closet) and found 1,671 only-slightly-used pens. Let me explain: I buy pens to use them but then I grow attached to them and I don’t want them to run out of ink, so then I buy pens to replace them but then I grow attached to them and don’t want them to run out of ink and then the vicious cycle repeats itself again and again. I think I may have a serious problem. And the fact that they’re pens and not something nonsexual like, oh I don’t know, cardboard, does little to ease my mind.
6. How this escaped my glances previously I don’t know, but today I noticed that my belly button is ever so slightly off center. I now have to lift up my shirt every hour or so to give it a good stare down. I’ve decided that this behavior must cease before I have to go to work in about an hour.
7. What’s up with me and chairs? Seriously, all chair species are out to kill me. No, there’s no story to this one. Just stating fact. (Note to self: keep away from large dining rooms.)
8. I’m lonely and in need of a good butt-touching.
And that’s about it. Claudia’s Life: The 1-Minute Rundown. Pretty sad, isn’t it?
