HFCS: effika’s blog

I think I like this design too much! I was trying to find ways to change it entirely, but all the stuff I did just didn’t look right. I consider this one of my best designs ever, so maybe that’s why it’s so hard to part with it.

The high was ~65*F today! I love having temps get into the 60’s. We’ve had highs stay in the 40’s for way too long. It won’t last very long. It was sunny outside too. This also makes me happy.

I can’t wait until the weekend. Kea will be gone Saturday night (and maybe Friday if she goes home). Ryan and I will finally get some privacy. It’ll be nice to talk about stuff we just don’t want to talk about in front of Paul (not so much b/c we’d be embarrassed as much as we want to spare him hearing anything he didn’t want to hear).

I continue to forget to send Garret’s parents a thank-you card. Her (Garret’s mom) card was so magnificent, and I really want to thank her for it. I don’t think she would appreciate it if I just made one on the computer. Maybe I will write it out on paper and just send it that way, without a card. Of course, I’d need to get some decent paper… Never-ending cycle. :-)

Paul wants me to bring over some tape tomorrow so he can fix his chair. The arm of it broke one day, and he has yet to repair it. The arm broke b/c the screws/nails were rendered useless somehow, so I’m not too certain how tape is going to fix it reliably. Maybe he’s just tired of the arm always swinging around, ready to gouge somebody’s calf.

It turns out Sean doesn’t have any classes on Tuesday/Thursday. Lucky bastard. I wonder why he was about 2 yards ahead of me going to the physical sciences building a week or so ago. Odd.

There is a really nice, good restaurant hidden in the second story of the cafeteria here. I found out yesterday my floor was going tonight. Yesterday was too late to sign up, though. An RA can only take his/her floor once a semester. I’m not happy I missed it. I guess I’ll go next semester. I really don’t mean to be so antisocial when it comes to floor activities. The activities just rarely are things I’d like to do– or in this case I find out about it late. Oh well.

Ryan claims I’m the most antisocial out of the group. Not him, not Paul, but me. He claims Paul isn’t the most b/c he likes to do things that are socially gratifying, like EQ. He says he’s not b/c he would willingly do things with people if the activity in question interested him. He says I’m the most antisocial b/c I don’t even bother to inquire what’s going on of most other people, nor can I keep up anything that’s largely social in nature for very long (stopped visiting my forums a few weeks ago), and I tend to assume I won’t like somebody versus assuming I will. This paragraph sounds really negative, but it’s not meant to be. I’m just lazy and don’t want to change it to put a positive spin on it. Ryan’s right, of course– people have long been low on my priority list. I do need some people, but as long as I have a few close friends that’s all I could ever want.
