Song About Nothing. I have literally been trying to track down this song for several years. I heard it once at Clemson on someone's iPod and the chorus would get stuck in my head about once every few months. AND NO WONDER I COULD NOT FIND IT! It's not even a widely known song, and it just happens that its title and the artist's name each generate thousands of false positives on Google. And all I had to go on was the chorus. But I got lucky this time! Either that or my tenacity won out.

Anyhoo: I've been trying to get a post up for...what's it been, a month now? Crazy. Yeah so maybe I've been trying for less than a month. You guys know how it goes. You get busy, and it's just too time consuming to get it all down. You understand.

The difference here is that I REALLY wanted to! A lot of stuff has happened during and since my Winter Break! FOR EXAMPLE

I had chronic chest pains that had me in and out of doctor's rooms for several days, as soon as I got home from Tech. It was sort of scary for a while but turned out to be more of an annoyance than a threat. It went away soon after I got to Puerto Rico (a week or so later). Mom thought I broke a rib, which made me sad because I like not having broken anything.

I went to Puerto Rico! Visited some family. (Very well might not see some of them again.) Got some great photos. Saw a famous Puerto Rican folk band perform because they're friends with my also-famous aunt (who is a phenomenal dancer). Decided that I have no particular reason to not drink but will continue to not do so in an effort to hone self control.

I saw Ryo-Friend! Several times actually. It was Good Times ahoy, because it was the first time he'd been home at all since school started. KILO and I went into his room over Thanksgiving break, emptied several of his drawers, and spelled out "MERRY CHRISTMAS" and "<3 S + K" on his bed and floor, respectively, with shirts and pajama pants. It was beautiful. I just wish I had been there to witness his discovery of our little gift. Ryan is a good pal and it was quite pleasurable to make his presence gain. I saw The Matrix (I know, I'm super late on this), Requiem for a Dream, Metropolis, and also Blade Runner. But that's not all, because...!

I had a birthday party! Like, a real one! I haven't had a real one in a while, much to Mom's chagrin. I invited a lot of people to my house and we ate burgers and talked and played Wii Play and talked some more and it just WORKED. I was so surprised. And I got to see a BUNCH of people who I hadn't seen in a whizzle. Like Sharnae, David, Mary, Kayla, Will, Katie, and Key. Looking back on it now, I can think of people that I should have invited...It was sort of last minute so I didn't think it through as well as I could have. And of course Kierra couldn't come because that's just an unrealistic expectation.

This is slightly out of order, but I got stuff for Christmas! Like a TV. And clothes. I'm surprised by how much I enjoy getting clothes now. I guess that's just life. I got a pretty great scarf, some gloves, and the usual jeans/belt/dress shirt combo. OH and my headphones. Nothing super high-end (or else you might hear the degradation in my 128 bit mp3s) but with some truly nifty sound canceling powers. They gave me a ruinous headache at first but I got used to them. Also I got some shampoo that I really wanted (I know, what the heck) so my hair is sure to be very soft and fun to have in the near future.

I got my wisdom teeth pulled out! I thought for a while that I would be able to avoid it, but alas: my first surgery! I wanted to see how well I could fare against the knock-out juice, but the doctor cheated and got me going on laughing gas first. I was just laying there, enjoying myself, when suddenly I was laying there with my face numb and blood on my teeth. But apparently it went well. I hardly got any swelling, found almost no need for the painkillers (luckily, since what little pain I did have didn't seem to be affected by them), and have since healed up pretty nicely. Fingers crossed for no infections in the coming month! Mom managed to get my teeth after the operation, so I have them here in wrapped in a little sheet of gauze. I cleaned them, of course. I have already used them to make conversation with girls. Well, A girl. Maybe I should be worried about strange people wanting to see my disembodied bones.

I watched Ghost In The Shell! Such a great show. The ending was neat. My cousin showed it to me when I was WAY too young to fully appreciate it, but I tracked it down and watched it online this week. School was supposed to start on Monday but it has been iced out, and will probably not begin until Thursday or Friday. So I had plenty of time to watch. Roomy got a hold of my gamecube games (I brought the Wii to go along with my spiffy new TV) and already played through Luigi's Mansion and probably most of Super Mario Sunshine. The kid is relentless. OH. I rearranged my room. I am quite proud of it.

I started working out! Roomy has some sort of schedule for beginners so we're doing that. I never want to go when it's time to start but I always feel good once I leave (sort of like writing posts here). These were my first two legitimate weight training sessions since 9th grade! Sure, I swam all those years (though I haven't even done that in over a year, now), and that kept me in great shape, but I never touched weights. And yet here I am.

Not-so-great things:

I DIDN'T see the twin. I didn't see her for Thanksgiving because her mom was child-greedy, and then her car goes and breaks down right when I return from the tropics. Friggin' lame.

KILO works too much. I can't buy a meal every time I want to visit him. I'll get fat.

I pissed off Katie hardcore. My friends (who are always behind on things like this) are always like "Aren't you and she on bad terms?" and I'm like "WHAT NO." and then a month or a few later I have to come back and be like "yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh". Typically I'd be all fired up or super emo or something, but I really just don't care. It's not like when you get pissed off and you say "Well, I don't care what happens to you or what you think!" I'm just not worried. I said most of what I wanted to say, and it honestly helped a lot. I'm not sorry for what I said. Probably shouldn't have said it at all, but still. Anyway, she was pissed off hardcore (man that is a fun phrase) and now I guess I'm just...scared to talk to her. Not scared. Apprehensive? Eh. I just don't want to hash it out again. And I don't have to! I'm in the business of burying cadavers.

(Yes, this is still a list of Not-so-great things) I had a super vivid dream that made me all warm and fuzzy, but it's not real. And several times when I've been half asleep I'll forget that it isn't real, so when I wake up it's the same realization over again. I even might have dreamed the same dream over several different sleep sessions, now that I think about it. I feel like my dog has died or something, that's how strong the loss is. I don't get that a lot, so it's sort of jarring. The dream was great while it lasted, but man this crash isn't worth it.

Last one: My body is sore and it is super late now. So it's a Gooooood thing there's no school tomorrow.

So, a new day to be tackled! Ended at 3:41 AM, more than an hour and a half after the start. Nice.

TL;DR

Just kidding. :P There's so much here though, I scarcely know what to comment on. I'm gonna put it in bullet points. :0

-I kinda know how you feel with the dream thing. Sometimes I have amazing dreams and I just want to stay asleep and never leave them, but at the same time they can make my day better because I feel like I have a special wonderful secret. That sounded really cheesy, so moving on...
-Shampoo. What?
-I didn't really think about keeping my wisdom teeth when they were removed. I guess I was too caught up in worrying about the aftereffects. :S For some reason though I also thought they cut the teeth apart to remove them?
-That song is a little Tenacious D-y. (That came out looking weird...)
