i should be running

i guess i should be out in the friggin cold sweating to my ipod, but that is becoming less and less of an option with each passing moment.  yep, just not in the cards today.  oh well.

i did spend the early morning hours (awoken early by that snoring, snorting, wrinkle-faced animal with whom i share my bed) trying to learn to use all the little functions on my new blog… that made me think of a new laptop… then that made me want to go online and customize my very own… then that made me desperate to have it.  like the mouse given a cookie, i couldn’t just stop there– i wanted more.  i wanted that pink dell laptop with a bunch of fancy computer stuff inside its pretty pink shell so badly that i almost almost applied for one of dell’s credit cards that allows you to buy a computer and then make payments.  but that nasty credit demon inside my head had to spoil my excitement by reminding me that i probably couldn’t get accepted for a credit card anymore than i could be qualified to fly an effing plane.  (i do think, though, that i could crash one into the hudson, but if i did it no one would have survived, that’s the god’s honest truth.  was that guy incredible or what?  i mean it renewed my fear of flying, but still what a stud.)

i’m rambling to avoid running.  soon i will eat a bowl of cereal and pet my pug to avoid running.  then it will be too late and i will have to get in the shower to get ready for my noon  class at SJSU.  tonight at 6pm i get to go to my favorite class: mcom 72, mass communications and society.  the class only meets tuesday nights so my arse is either numb or spasming by the end of the almost three hour lecture, but it’s worth it.  this class is great for someone like me.  i get credit for being how i already am: talkative and opinionated.  my teacher just loves that, but since it’s not exactly one-on-one time, i have to let other kids participate, too, even though they rarely have anything of substance to say.  those are the kids the professor has to point at and call on– it’s like pulling teeth.  i don’t like speaking in front of large crowds because even if i know i’m not nervous my face will inevitably start to get hot and red and my voice will quiver.  it’s not like that in mcom, though, because i just talk from my seat and it just doesn’t provoke that fear response inside me.

i just realized mount laundry has claimed more victims and i’m not sure i even have one clean thing to wear to class today.  frick.  too bad ash doesn’t live here anymore, she was always good for a sweater.
