You know, I keep saying that I’m going to come and write on this blog; especially since I’ve said that I need to write more; and then, I forget. I’ve been thinking of maybe stapling a sticky note to my hand to remind myself but that would hurt and would also produce some blood. Then I thought about writing it on the back of my hand but with the pens that I use, I’d probably wind up engraving it on the back of my hand and there’d be bloodage there too. What I’m thinking of doing is signing up for NaBloPoMo and then putting a reminder in my phone so that I actually have to come on here and write. That actually might be for the best.
Of course, remembering has gotten difficult. Since I went off the Welbutrian two months ago my ADD has become ten times worse (yeah trying to concentrate on any one thing has become impossible) but my OCD has gotten better and I’m a lot less timid then I was. So yeah, things are better off of it then on it. This does mean that I’ve got like ninety different projects started but nothing finished. There are three random web sites, a knitted scarf (that’ll probably take me nine years to finish), a knitted washcloth (which if I can force myself to focus on should take an afternoon), two Civilization IV games, a new WOW character, this journal, a short story, my homework, and unpacking books. Now I’ve decided that instead of trying to find cool headbands I’m going to try making my own. This should be interesting as I get these crazy ideas to try and do something on my own yet they always wind up falling apart. The woman at Joanne’s was really nice tonight though and helped me find cheap, bright pink, plastic headbands in the $1 bin that I can now cover in the fun fabrics that I found. Note to self – make sure the glue dries before you put them in your hair. Ohhh…and I have a ton of pen pal letters to do too (yes Katie, Dem, Steffi, and Erini that means yours too).
I want to sit down and write out the list of places that I really, really want to visit. Because even if I have to go by myself, I’m going. This past week I was seriously thinking of finding a boat and stowing away to England. It was just one of those weeks. Actually, it’s been two months. I’m giving it till the end of summer before I do what I’m thinking but that’s it if it doesn’t get any better.
Alright, I think it’s time to go be more of a geek, put on my glasses and work on the code for one of my websites.

I may have to cave in and get WOW again. I missed playing it. And you wouldn’t think I would; I’ve gone almost ten months without playing it. But it’s not like I can sit here and count or anything. Of course, before I can do that, I have to do some serious cleaning up of my desktop. I haven’t really used it much in the past few months and it’s a bit sluggish. Of course, I would be too if I’ve just been sitting around collecting dust. So I’m sitting here writing this on it while I uninstall all the Sim2 games and update important things – like the os and the anti-virus. Though I’m not entirely sure why I’m updating McAfee since I’m a) going to wipe the PC and b) going to install Avast. But update it I am. And one of these days, I will get WOW again and start over from the beginning because that’s just the weirdo that I am.
And I never realized exactly how weird it is to sit here on a desktop. It’s not like I don’t use a desktop every day at work but there’s just something different about being on my own. Even if it is super sluggish and full of shit I don’t actually use or need any more. Could be the fact that I can sit here and sing along to my iPod and just be generally silly. Or maybe it’s the fact that my main hard drive on this only has 40 gigs – and even my notebook has a biggest hard drive then that. Though I did realize that I have a 300 gig hard drive partitioned into two drives; and an external drive that’s 250 gigs set up too so that’s almost 600 gigs combined. Still. I need to get rid of a lot of stuff.
Okay – enough of the computer geek talk. I want to go play with the new sock loom I just got to see if I can figure out how to start a pair of socks. And we can all laugh at Jenn later – when she’s all tangled up in yarn and cursing the damn thing ten ways to Sunday. But the thought of using more then two knitting needles; let alone two double sided needles; has be running away in fear. And that is why I will not try knitting a pair of socks on needles.

I sit here sometimes and wonder if I truly am insane. Why else would I decide to dedicate the next four years of my life to law school? I’ll be twenty-seven when I start in September; and by the time I graduate, I will either be thirty-one or thirty-two. Umm…hello? I think it’s safe to say that I do not want a life – ever. LOL
Of course, I am not complaining; not really anyways. I am really excited about the fact that I am getting to go to law school; something that I has been a dream since I was little. And by little, I mean I’ve probably wanted to go to law school for about twenty years now. And seeing how I’ll be twenty-seven in August, that means I’ve wanted to go to law school from the age of six. I just always thought that by this point, I’d be close to completing law school; not starting it.
Okay, enough about that. The fourth of July is just a few days away. And that means I get a three day week-end this year. Yay! I really do not have anything major planned. I do want to try and create my own layout for this blog; though that may be an adventure of more then one weekend. And work on some knitting since I have like ten different projects going on. But two of them are wash cloths for G and I started one row on a baby afghan on my afghan loom. Yes, I know one row isn’t a lot but there’s 80 pegs on the damn thing to wrap; and that takes awhile! Of course, I would be more then receptive to ideas on how to wrap the pegs faster. *insert begging here* Other then that, I do think I’m going to work on going through the junk I’ve got in my rooms. It’s time to get rid of most of it. Yes, I am going to stop being a pack rat.
And now, I want to go work on the scarf I am working on creating a pattern.
