The four and a half hours of sleep and just now getting coffee might have something to do with that.<\/p>\n<p>Antisocial mood yesterday, alongside\/because of a headache that felt like it was pushing out of my forehead at two specific points.  Caffeine and ibuprofin to the rescue&#8230; eventually.  And when I get in antisocial moods, my phone rings off of the hook.  Tom, though he didn&#8217;t show up on the call list, left a voice mail.  Followed by Mark.  I need to figure out these guys&#8217; usernames.  Sheesh.  Then twice with the <lj user=\"ga\">, once with the <lj user=\"quiet_screaming\">, and once with the <lj user=\"benniferus\">.  Guess which one I picked up the phone on?  Heh.<\/lj><\/lj><\/lj><\/p>\n<p>So, I found out about Mark&#8217;s update (you have your work cut out for you), picked up <lj user=\"benniferus\"> from class, picked up <lj user=\"quiet_screaming\"> from home, and was a bad friend to <lj user=\"ga\"> and a bad employee to Tom.  So, I&#8217;ve called Tom, and have a ton of work ahead of me.  This is good.<\/lj><\/lj><\/lj><\/p>\n<p>I need the money.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, money troubles loom.  They have been eating at me, and that irrational sense of futility and craggy, Mt. Everest style problems.  I was reminded last night that not only are these issues ones that I can tackle, but I have a tangible reason that I can look toward for keeping this up.  For sticking to school, and not fleeing to the full time job that will make me unhappy anyway.  I have the letter informing me that I made the Dean&#8217;s list last semester.  For some reason, I&#8217;m incredibly proud of that little piece of paper.  And that&#8217;s why the financial worries are okay.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m gonna call GA today.  Really.<\/p>\n<p>Wireless ethernet bridges are happy.  Now the signal strength must be solidified with a directional antenna.  Ah, to dream.<\/p>\n<p>Full moon approaches, and I am ready.  I hope that this will prepare me for the next new moon.  Grit my teeth, clench my jaw, conquer my fear.<\/p>\n<p>The MSU coffee shops (Sparty&#8217;s) have some tasty blends of Free Trade coffee.<\/p>\n<p>Weddings and weddings and weddings.  <lj user=\"anipaschke\"> and Justin.  Aunt Betty and her southern beau.  Eric and Grace.  Tammy and her dude.  And then, finally, the end of the string&#8230; for a little while.  <lj user=\"beefour\"> and <lj user=\"markoolkat\">.  Oh, and then there was the drinkin&#8217; party.  Jolly rancher concoction didn&#8217;t taste like alcohol to me.  *snore*<\/lj><\/lj><\/lj><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m finally caught up with LJ.  I&#8217;m a little behind in reading and classwork, but I&#8217;ll catch up just fine.  Faith in myself seems to have returned.  As Nathan would say, &#8220;Patience, young Skipford.&#8221;  Heh.<\/p>\n<p><lj user=\"dookieinapot\"> moves in soon.  Anybody have any wooden pallets?  We&#8217;re looking to make a sub-floor in the basement.  Any leads would be very much appreciated.<\/lj><\/p>\n<p>Ahh, that feels better.  Random mumblings out.  If you made it this far, you have my thanks and condolences.  ;)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My brain is mumbling. About a lot.
