Dustin, RA Candidate.

Yeah, life is getting better.

Two of my true friends really came though for me this last few days and helped cheer me up.
B dog shot me a quick phone call and regrets not being able to cheer me up in person. He got my mind off the stuff going on and we talked about some of the goofy shit we did as kids. We were trouble.
Sarah showed her not-taking-on-the-world side and tricked me by using my one weakness. Hugs. Damn them.


In other news, I turned in my application to be an RA for next year. I'm both extremely nervous, and extremely confident in the possibility of my hiring. I'll see in the coming weeks.


Yeah, I'm Awesome™

Ugh.

I hate to make two FML posts in a row but this needs to be let out.


Last night, at 11:56, I received a horrible phone call I had hoped I'd never get again. I don't want to post all the details but basically one member of my family has been fighting depression for a few years and will be in the hospital for a week or two due to certain complications of said depression.

I could not get this off my mind and was unable to sleep much more than a few minutes all night. So before class I pumped myself full of sugar and caffeine and have been 'topping off' my sugar level since then. I'm in full-on emo-zombie mode.

I need to think, and I need a hug/many hugs.

7am-10am.

Goddammit, I feel like shit.

-Woke up this morning and I couldn't balance, too tired.
-Got in the shower and cranked it up to crazy-hot, it was only lukewarm.
-Eating my Pop Tarts on my way to class, slipped and dropped one in the snow.
-8am Calculus was an easy class today, but it was at 8 am.
-Enjoying the slight breeze by Cox+Snow, ate pavement on those stairs because of my huge feet.
-I don't have Asian Religions until 12:30, but I have no desire to play video games.


In other news, Sarah's desktop is quite boss.

Even if it has no dedicated video card, and is crazy infested with nearly 58 GB of adult paraphernalia. I'm not even kidding, I spent a few hours yesterday cleaning off more porn viruses than I've ever heard of. I'll have to make it a regular event if she doesn't stay away from PenisLand and WhorePresents.

I guess it's a better use of my time than partially destroying my laptop for fun.

Multiple Languages

I'm an effective translator, it surprises people when they find out.

I know:
-English ('Proper' English)
-American (Yes, separate.)
-'Normal' (For 'regular' people.)
-Geek (With my +1 Amulet of Babel.)
-Scatter Brain (When the correct term for something is unknown.)
-Female* ('Emotion' Stuff)
-Male (Cars, Video Games, Food, Boobs)
-Spanish (Muy poco)
-Cool (Practically invented this boss language.)

* Growing up I was outnumbered 4-1, I had to learn.


I want to learn:
-Japanese (It will be useful when they take over in the next Pokemon Wars.)
-Klingon (It is a beautiful language, Shakespeare really is more powerful in Klingon.)
-French** (Maybe. Women in earshot seem to melt.)

** France sucks


You just got learned.
