"Maybe it'll mean I'll blog more. :)"
It's been about 9 days since I posted that sentence. I guess I haven't really been posting more.
Anyway, my excuse these past few days is a head cold (I wrote "cold head" before). Before that? Well, I don't know.
This week, I had trouble with my office internet. That was finally fixed today when I spoke up about. I felt bad about it though, getting people to stop their work to fix my internet when they KNOW that I don't use the internet for work related purposes.
Out of complete and utter boredom on Monday, I opened up a word document and just started writing whatever came to my head.
I wrote things like-
"Roar, I’m not doing anything and I am not even progressing at doing nothing. Yes, I just roared. I decided to speak dinosaur. I am fluent in dinosaur."
and...
"Woo! I am almost on the third page. The third page! I know, I am repeating myself like I am channeling the two unicorns from Charlie the Unicorn. We’re going on an adventure, Charlie! Yeah, Charlie, an adventure! We’re on a bridge, Charlie! It’s a magical leoplorodon Charlie. By the way, I don’t know how to spell leoplorodon. The word document tells me I misspelled the word, but it has no suggestions. Worthless piece of junk! I broke my spell check on my laptop during finals fall semester 2006. I was taking both a Japanese pop culture class and a Mayan civilizations class. I was writing two papers for those classes and I was adding so many words to the dictionary (not to mention all of the jibberish I used to add just out of boredom). So, the dictionary ran out of space. Isn’t that amazing. I bet you never heard of someone managing to break his or her spell check."
And then I got bored and started writing lyrics entirely out of memory.
I think the song "No Air" is funny because sometimes in the song, they sing something that sounds like "eh ah" instead of the word "air". Anyway, this is what I wrote-
“Tell me how I’m supposed to breathe with no eh-ah. Can’t live can’t breathe with no eh-ah. It’s how I feel when I know you ain’t neh-ah. No air no air. Tell me how somethingaboutwater so deep. Tell me how are you gonna be without me. If you ain’t here I just can’t breathe, there’s no air, no air. No eh-ah! Eh-ah.”
;)
I am very good at both intentionally and unintentionally messing up song lyrics.
Does anyone have any requests?
I still have a head cold (almost typed "cold head" again) and I can't think.

conversation
This is a example conversation I was given to say with a teacher in front of students on Friday.
A: Hi ____? How are you?
B: I'm fine thanks. And you?
A: Me too, thanks!
B: (By the way,) what do you want to be?
A: I want to be a teacher.
B: I see.
A: What do you want to be?
B: I want to be a tennis player.
A: Feel so good.
What happened? Did B suddenly start massaging A or... something...?????
I guess I'll talk to the teacher and we'll change it to "That's great!" or something that makes a lot more sense. :)

My fresh, new world full of pollen.
Today, somehow, the world seems a fresher, newer, and somehow a lot better than it has been in a very long time.
Sitting in this office, I feel in a lot better of a mood here than I have in a very long time.
Although, truthfully, today is looking like it will be what would usually be my least favorite kind of work day here. Still- I feel so much lighter today than usual.
Whatever this is now, I really REALLY want to stick with it.
Maybe it'll mean I'll blog more. :)
I'm wondering now- why was I so angry and upset for such a long time?
I logged on AIM a little while ago so that I could share my good mood with Krystina. I figure with her usual availability on AIM during my work hours, she usually ends up hearing the worsts of my bad moods. Like a very awesome friend, she listens to them. :)
But, I think she's still enjoying her vacation. Oh well.
Both Krystina and Sam were on planes on Friday the 13th. Isn't that crazy?
I just realized that I drank my entire morning green tea on my desk without noticing it.
OK, focusing again.
Yesterday, I was in my extra room trying to work out bedding for having people over next month and I realized "hey, how should I expect to have other people SLEEP in here, when I don't like to be in here for more than 5 minutes.
It's true. though, because I hardly even use the room, I often forget that it even exists. Months ago, I had a dream that someone moved into that room without me knowing it and it disturbed me because I had almost completely forgotten that room at the time.
So yesterday, I started working on trying to make it livable. For one thing, I left the window open most of the day and then put in an air freshener near the end of the day to get rid of the stuffiness.
Yesterday was an excellent day to do something about stuffiness and air ciculation, because for some reason, I had some kind of hypersensitivity to it yesterday. I got into my car and thought it was too stuffy, too. So, for the first time since I got the car, I kept the windows open while driving (I never really did that with my cars in the US either.)
Maybe the stuffiness in my car and house was what was wearing me out?
Anyway, Spring seems to have come early and the pollen levels are high. It probably would have been more ideal if I decided to become a fan of opening windows BEFORE the entire outside world became something I am allergic to. Of course, it was freezing before that. *gigantic shrug*
Maybe it was the cold that had me down...
Oh yeah, one last thing- this month I pay my last car payment! Woo hoo!

An open letter
Dear Krystina,
As you are aware, when it comes to dear friends, you are certainly one of my dearest.
Which is why I believe that I have discovered a new brand of cruelty when I looked at my facebook requests and found this---
Yes, an invite from you to add a "Best Friends" app.
Now, if anyone ever asked me if I consider you to my one of my bests, I would definitely, without hesitation say "yes."
But THIS is a Facebook application.
I feel guilt eating at my very soul every time I reject an application invite for something promoting a worthy cause like world hunger or global warming or telling me that someone was nice enough to send a little virtual gift my way.
I bet the picture is going to be small. Let's discuss the wording of this invite.
"Hey, I added you to my Best Friends because you are important to me and I want to receive updates on your status updates, new photos, and birthday. Could you do me a favor and add this application and add all your best friends too, so we can find out which ones we have in common!"
The button to confirm the request reads: "Sure, I'll be your best friend".
.........
It's like if I decline or ignore the request, I'm saying we're not best friends.
That is so WRONG!
My question to you, my friend, is "WHY?"
WHY?????
How did this vile application with it's horrible guilt ridden request wording coerce you into playing into it's evil, EVIL scheme?
So, with that said, I am going to ignore that application request. Not decline- ignore.
But know that I am doing it for the sake of all that is sanity, friendship, and not promoting the facebook application insanity.
Your friend,
Julia
(Of course this is to be taken lightly. I actually had a hard time keeping it as serious as it was because I was enjoying writing it. It was ALMOST as fun as my Across the Universe note on Facebook ;) )
