You know, Hulk (2003 [I feel like I have to specify because people like to pretend this movie was never made]) is a very strange movie. The effort put into making it look and feel like a comic strip come off badly, I think. I'm always bad at discussing acting quality, but frankly the main character was a pansy man. It was just...awkward. One of my favorite awkward parts is right after Bruce has transformed into the Hulk in the lab, and the next day Betty is at his house asking him what happened, and all he tells her is that he could feel his heart beating, slow and strong. He makes these faces when he tries to imitate the effect, completely deadpan, and it's just...sort of hilarious. Anyway! That's what I was just thinking of. ka-THUMPppffmfmosfasf

So, during my last semester of school I took a Photoshop class. And I have to say, I really enjoyed it. I have a free trial of CS5 waiting for download eventually, and I plan on buying it 80% off as a student when I get a laptop. I think to celebrate I will make a new layout. I already have an idea or two. I also would like to take some programming classes, so maybe I can break away from the nutang order of things, like Muffy did.

One of the revelations I have endured (yes) has to do with so called "one-sided relationships." It is thus: If I am going to consistently snub somebody, whether purposefully or not, then I need to learn to just deal if somebody does it to me instead. I mean, I'm sitting here complaining about someone being a bad friend, and then I go on to be a TERRIBLE friend to someone else. That is the worst way to be.

So first I'll learn to sit and take it. A bad friend isn't worth keeping; that's what I keep telling people, so it's about time I adopted the same idea. Soon I hope to learn to fix the other side of the issue and not be such a let-down to people. But that's harder so it'll have to wait.

tee hee

A somewhat close friend of mine seems to have rediscovered the Bible. She's getting excited about it. She's been having video-chat Bible studies with her friend from out of town, and asking me about the sermons from Horizon and stuff. She being excited is rubbing off on me, and I gotta say that it is quite refreshing. I had already started my own little process, but now I have someone to discuss it with, and that makes it better. Fellowship! And I daresay the best kind.

My dog is laying in my room and sneezing incessantly. And I can't just hear the sneeze itself, she's also adding a bit of her voice to it. I do love me some doggy.

OK now she's sniffing the door to take a pee. >.<

It's nice to meet new people. Last night we had this year's Fire Night and we had three near strangers attending on account of one of them is dating my good friend. Anyway, it turns out they're actually NOT near strangers! I am, in fact, one of the only people there who did not know one or more of them. It's weird to think about! All this time we've been so close to knowing each other. Makes me wonder about all the people I could possibly know.

Makes me wonder about...physics! Going off to GT soon for orientation. Oh man oh man oh man I don't get excited but I'm sort of excited.

Anyway, great fun times last night. I met some new people, hung out with people like Natty whom I haven't really interacted with in a while, and friggin' cooked some hotdogs on coat hangers. Quality experiences.

Almost every thing that my mom does is completely stressing me out. Everything. Get me out of here.

And on that note, I must finish this up because my stream of consciousness has been interrupted.

Sounds like good stuff. In the past I've sort of tried to let people "down easy" as far as relationships go... I imagined that it was almost as hard for me as it was for them, since I definitely liked them, just not in "that way". Then I experienced the other side of "being let down easy", and while it is better than having your heart viciously ripped apart, it is much MUCH worse than letting someone else down easy. Live and learn... there's nothing you can really do about it I guess.

I'm trying to make a professional website right now, I was going to use Dreamweaver because it's better than my usual coding staight into html, but downloading CS4 from my school has been a huge hassle. For all the time I've spent trying to acquire Dreamweaver I could probably already have a working website by now.

Now I want to eat hotdogs.
I'd better go eat dinner.

And uber-sweet about your friend rediscovering the Bible. I always think that I can get by without fellowship, but when you suddenly find it you really realize what you've been missing out on.

Congrats on GT, that's a great school. I just met a bunch of graduate student engineers from there, they're all getting funding from NASA to do aerospace and materials science projects. NASA has a program for undergrads too, with internships and the like, I think it's called USRP, you should check it out if you ever feel like working for NASA for a summer or something. :D

wow, I like it how my comment is at least half as long as your entry

Hahaha I KNOW I was thinking the same thing when I posted it...shoot. But you know it's pretty dang hard to come up with something CLEVER sometimes, and that's generally how I feel after I take vacations away from the island...so...shut up :)

I'm interested to see what you can come up with in photoshop. Cuz you always make some pretty good-quality works in MS Paint...so I'm excited. Don't disappoint.

As for the mother...poo. That is all. You're moving out soon so that's all you should have to say too.

Check it out. They hire physics majors.
Then of course there is the Lunar and Planetary Institute, they hire people and you can work at Johnson Space Center:
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/lpiintern/

And then there's always the Smithsonian in DC: http://www.nasm.si.edu/getinvolved/intern/index.cfm

And if you want to study physics, you could just choose a project yourself from many many many offered by different universities!

I am jumping the gun a little bit here, most of the time people do these things after their sophomore or junior years or something, and it isn't really at all close to summer right now, but hey, it doesn't hurt to look....

I'm trying to rekindle my love for the bible myself. I feel guilty when I don't go to church now that I'm back home in Dallas and my family goes every sunday morning while I sleep.. I've gone a few times, including this morning, and I plan to start going again.. but yeah..

And good luck at GT, pal. I got a lot of peoples still in D.C. so I'll be visiting there sometime in the upcoming year (maybe I'll kidnap Zanzi and drive there if I can find my chloroform. KIDDING. .. kinda ..) and we can have a NuTang meeting.. then we can drive to NY and then Seattle and then to wherever Nuttz is, I think it's Mississippi or Malaysia or something in the southeast US or something..

Anyway, you've been challenged, midday pal. 100 facts about yourself in your next entry... if you can.
