Let's blog this thang!

I've got a lot of things I need to cover but first things first: LET'S GIVE IT UP FOR THE INDY COLTS Y'ALL!!!!!!! Peyton's back is free of monkeys and everyone's sporting phat new bling! Indianapolis doesn't get many chances for national attention aside from what it hosts, so this is a huge thing for us I think to win something as widely recognized as the Super Bowl. And if you watched the game, you know we really deserved it. I thought it was a great game, the Bears played well, we just played better.

Next up, tomorrow's my first day of second-term classes. I think this is going to be an okay term, if downtime somehow crops up I've got projects to fill it, and if I don't I feel like it'll be effort well spent. Now that I've typed these words, here's hoping I don't eat them.

Next, and this is something that regularly makes me uncomfortable: it's my birthday this Thursday. I should take that back, my birthday doesn't make me uncomfortable. I like birthdays, it's a reminder that you're alive and whatever's happened, you got through it for another revolution of the Earth around the Sun. What makes me uncomfortable is being the center of attention - it's something I don't know that I'll ever get used to. I've already gotten a few cards and they're lovely (I'll be sending thank you's soon, I promise). Word has gotten to me that a number of my coursemates are upset that I haven't already made plans to do anything, and while I will arrange for something to happen, it's hard for me is all. I suppose I should get over it - they say the first thing you have to sell is yourself - but I don't want to. Whaa whaa whaaa, gripe bitch moan.

For our screenwriting class we have to read one of the Resnick novels. For those who don't know, Resnick novels are a line of police procedural fiction mysteries. If you like thrillers and have recently undergone major heart surgery, I think these are ideal for you, but everyone else will likely be bored.

What else...? I'm still working on getting a work study for the March break. I've got one new lead I absolutely must follow up on, but Friday's looking to be the closest I can address it. Bugger.

I've also noticed that my vocabulary is incorporating more and more British words, enough to make my parents chuckle. My parents, the British wannabes (oh accept it you two). Just didn't want that to get by.

Also, my coursemate Sarah got proposed to by her boyfriend. In a positive-yet-not-as-interesting twist, she said yes. I think I may hide my birthday party behind that so as not to feel as uncomfortable.

I think that's all I've got for now. Everyone back in Indy, stay warm and GO COLTS!
