Eighteeness...
Thursday, October 14, 2004
Ah sorry guys... life is awesome, but as it's about to combust due to my crippling load of things to do, internet activities sorda got pushed to the back of the list.
I'm still at the task of planning my uber-late bday party (j00 guys are all invited!), since I think I ought to have some kind of gathering this time around. As for news on that actual week of October, on the other hand... I gotta say that if a birthday could ever be celebrated to death (with no formal party even!), then that pretty well describes my 18th starting the moment I walked in to my office at HQ last Tuesday.
First, the "decorations" they had plastered all over the walls were huge blown-up copies of, er... a little cartoon drawing that I had done of myself for a card our department made for Mary Kay some five months ago o_O lol. Then there was the food piled on top of my desk: doughnut hole things made by Tim, cookie bars made by Matt B, cracker things from Mary Kay, cookies from Alicia, krispy kremes from John, some bars whose maker I'm still not sure of, and virtual cookies from Peter who's gone but still managed to participate ^_~. Also, my department got me a shirt from thinkgeek.com, which Matt H had very nicely wrapped in reject paper from the warehouse xDDD ahhhh, so nice of them T__T. Then, flowers from Mary Kay, the book "In His Steps" from Mrs. Rees, and an awesome-looking drawing book from John ^_^. Cards from Mary Kay, Lydia, Ruth, Mrs. Rees, my housemates Jenny and Laura, and zhe computer department.
Another thing that must be mentioned are the crowds of people streaming into our office from different departments to give birthday wishes and help with the food xD. It was so cool to just chill with these people I never see during work hours; but, of course, I didn't get quite as much done that day... hehe.
Outside of HQ, I've also received cards from my beloved Shiowei, my quintet as a group, Hannah-dear (hummer driving xD!), and, cookies from Stephanie. From my parents, a new cell and some other good things :D.
As for other news... this quarter I started up COD classes again, something I'm getting really excited about. I'm only taking Psychology 100 this time, and it's been so fun I regret not taking more (of course, my schedule would die so it's quite an empty regret). I just LOVE psychology; my professor, Ken, is AWESOME and so are the other students. I have a theory on why I love them all so much; I'll have to formulate and post it some time...
Slacker kid one: (muttering under his breath) "Ah, two hours till the end of class."
Slacker kid two: (also muttering) "Two hours and a minute!"
The professor: (loud and clear) "Well I promise you it will FEEL like 1 hour 54 minutes!"
XD ahhh.... Well, I could have blogged three times as much, but alas I need to go.
Weien, ::sigh:: good old foos memories, it was beyond awesome... I wish you were at HQ! Love your latest poem.
Kash, that trip did have a lot of boat/forest time, actually; I just didn't write too much about it ^^. By the way, I'm really sorry about STILL not being done with my BattleSong entry =(. I'm trying my best to work on that when I can.
Shiowei, thanks for your thoughts ^_^ and that beautiful card!!! It was so encouraging!
Paula, you're hilarous xD. WORM CAKE!~ Well, I loved hearing your thoughts on completely submitting to God. Thanks for the encouragement. And yes, you have improved in art! Man!
Ka-chan, thanks for the song ^^ I haven't been able to hear it yet but I got the email.
Tara, sankyuu for the bday wishes! Ah, I didn't mean to not update for a month ^^;;;! Well I'll be seeing you soon =D.
...AHAHAHA I LOVE this weather, it's hyping me up! I crave the fall, and even more, I crave Christmas! Such glorious times to come...
