John Mayer is a lying fink. "Say what you need to say" my ass! My beautiful ass! And someday, someone who is worth my time is going to love my beautiful ass and the woman attached to it.
I live in a very small college town. The population (around 1,000) more than quadruples when the colleges are in session. The schools themselves are very close knit. Everyone knows everyone. If not by name, at least by face. Even people you don't spend much time with are at least familiar with you. It's, overall, a safe community. It's a place where you don't expect a lot of disasters to happen.
This morning, at about 5:30, the corner of main street caught on fire. Four businesses burned down entirely, one is closed due to extensive smoke damage, and off-campus apartments also burned to the ground. 13 students are displaced from their homes and have lost everything. Every where you go, someone is on their cell phone, having the same conversation.
It's strange and scary all at the same time. You never expect something like that to happen in a place like this. More than that, it feels like everyone in the world knows. Everyone in this small town certainly does, but for the most part, outside of it nothing is different. It feels like the world was supposed to stop turning, but instead, somehow, everyone is still going through their routines. People are going to class, my meeting tonight hasn't been cancelled, things keep moving on. Even when it feels like everything has stopped, we keep going. Maybe it's the routines that keep us sane. Maybe we only keep going on so we don't burn down, too.
I want to have a conversation that goes something like this.
"So, you don't like people?"
"As a general rule, no."
Because it's true.
It has been a really good week for me.
Monday and Tuesday- No class!
Wednesday- One of my friends now has the entire series Samurai Jack. =D
Karate Yellow Belt Review - Went much better than I had expected, felt much more confident. Was still on the fence to take the test, though.
Bought Piano Squall's album - amazing pianist who plays songs from anime and video games on the piano, and the majority of the money he makes from albums and concerts goes to charity. My favorite is either the tetris theme, or "Creul Angel's Thesis"
Finished Kit's (an RP character) backstory, which was approved by the GM. Huzzah!
Thursday- Stolen away by sister and saw Zombieland! And then got to share some of my favorite Zombies vs. Humans stories.
Friday- Neuropsych test went surprisingly well, considering how little I studied for it. One class was cut short.
Decided to follow Bob Dylan's advice: "Don't think twice, it's all right" and took the yellow belt test. And got it!! There were tears in my eyes when Sensei announced that we all got our belts. I had been so worried that I would be the only one to get it.
I am so proud of myself right now, as I probably should be. Even if I injured one of my toes during the test.
In fact, this week has been so good, I'll even forgive it for snowing. And only 15 days left til Nanowrimo! Dun dun dun!
Another weird thing I learned.
Ladies: take note. If you know most or all of the words to "Master of Puppets" by Metallica, you suddenly become sexier.
Hands down, this is the worst summer of my life. Right now the score is
Losses: 3
Funerals: 2
Jobs I hate: 1
Being lonely: multiple counts
FML: every day.
Puppy: +1 morale bonus.
