so there's this girl that i've had a crush on since 1994. that's like 13 years! anyways, i had totally forgotten what she looked like (much to my dismay), but then, today, i was on facebook, and i saw that one of her friends had posted up a picture of her in a group. ah, finally, i got to refresh my memory of how cute she was. it was nice. she's still as pretty as ever. sigh. we had a little bit of correspondence back in the day, and i even think we had something going on after we both graduated, but i was with k2 at the time, so i didn't do anything about it. ah, timing, bad timing.
it's friday! i did some coding over the last two days of the week, and i've still got a ways to go before i finish. hopefully i can get it done early next week, and integrate it by the end of the month, which is the deadline. ah, i am the king of procrastination. ugh. i better get my ass moving on this, or else i will face the wrath of my boss.
speaking of which, i forgot about my 10:30am meeting this morning. i set the alarm last night for 10:30, so needless to say, i missed the meeting. i got a call from his this morning, which woke me up, and i felt really bad. luckily, he wasn't too pissed, but it was a reminder that i should be more careful next time. i need to remember my appointments! maybe i should get a PDA? nah, my life isn't that complicated, is it?
i am in desperate need of a haircut. i haven't gotten one in like 6 weeks, so i am very scruffy in the back and sides and shaggy on top. this will be one of my top priorities next week (i don't go on weekends because of the long waits).
i'll be under less stress this weekend because my cowboys aren't playing. (they have a bye.) and speaking of sports, it became apparent to me that i'm rooting for the red sox over the rockies because i cheered last night when papelbon threw that last strike to win game 2. i tuned in from _the office_ (or was it _scrubs_?) just in time to see that pitch.
because of my car accident last week, i'm really paranoid when i drive in parking lots now. i keep on thinking that some car is going to pop out of its parking spot and crash into me. it sucks; i'm really nervous and skittish, and i just don't feel like driving anymore. ugh. now i understand why my ex-coworker C turns off his stereo when he drives in parking lots; he said that it was so he can concentrate and be more aware of other cars. makes sense, right? i might do the same from now on.
if i read my brother's new blog correctly, he's homophobic. that saddens me. i think my entire family's homophobic, especially the two extremely religious ones. man, how did i grow up to be the tolerant one? i mean, i grew up in conservative texas, for crying out loud! hm. maybe going to college in california reshaped my views or something, but then again, i think i wasn't that conservative even when i was in high school and before.
i was e-mailing my buddy alex, and we were talking about our best years in college. we both agreed that freshman and junior years were the best, and i came across the realization that those were the years when i wasn't deep into a relationship (unlike sophomore and senior years). hm. so how come i didn't have such a great time when i had a girlfriend? wouldn't those times be great as well? i mean, i was with somebody, i was getting laid, shouldn't those years be fun and memorable? that confounds me. maybe i liked partying with the guys more than being with a girl? wow!
so a friend told me that he has friends who work at facebook, and he heard that the pay is ridiculously low. plus, they like to hire new college grads. so that's two strikes on my idea of working for them. hehe. oh well, it was a good idea while it lasted. btw, i think this ESPP period here at my company (which closes at the end of october) is going to be good. *huzzah*
ok, time to wrap this puppy up. have a STUPENDOUS weekend folks!
