OMG i'm posting
Soooo yeah, we went to a party we found on MySpace last night for our amusement. We ran into a lot of people we knew so it was pretty cool and it looked like we were supposed to be there even though we weren't invited. I got trashed and danced and had no sense of equilibrium so I tripped over a flower pot. What else is new?

Anyhoozle, I'm missing my dad's company party right now so that kind of sucks. I could have gotten free food there, which would have been good. Meh, I only make myself go to school after drinking heavily. I'm not leaving the house for anything not mandatory. I will leave to eat some cereal later but that's about it. How sad is that? I need to go elsewhere to find cereal!


My life is so discombobulated right now. I'm in a transitional phase so I'm getting a little nervous, but at the same time I have this unexplained sense of euphoria. I'm high on existing. It probably has something to do with the fact that I am going on tour in less than a week! It's going to be so kick-ass!!!!! But when I come back I have to get down to business. Or I don't really have to. I don't really have to do anything. I'm already doing better than most people. I think that's why I am so happy: I really don't want anything more out of life than to get a decent job that will pay me enough so I can by this damn house and live comfortably here for the rest of eternity. That way, if I do decide that I'm bored later (which is almost guaranteed to happen as soon as I sober up and realize I could be doing better), I will have money to go to a better graduate school than UTEP. No need to rush things, especially when the field I want to work in is so new that there aren't a lot of grad schools for it yet. I'm just going to have to deal with my dad who doesn't know jack about how colleges work trying to push me into something I don't want to do. I don't want advice from the inexperienced. At least my mom respects my decision here. She says I can even get tuition reimbursement if I work in the HLA lab. Yay! Or maybe a government job. I have options, and the pay will be good no matter what I do.

I think I will take this opportunity to rant about my dad some more. I love the man, but damn he is dumb. I feel kinda bad for him sometimes because it seems like he is trying to earn my respect most of the time instead of the other way around. HE BELIEVES IN U.F.O.s! And he actually talked about it in front of a group of my mom's friends. He thinks he saw a U.F.O. fly into the water by his house. My guess is that it was a meteorite or something like that since that is what most alleged U.F.O.s turn out to be. That would also explain why it was glowing, you know, due to the friction from flying through the earth's atmosphere. He said it was here to study global warming. Ok, so that means he believes intelligent life found us. I really want to introduce him to my astrobiology professor so he can hear why his theory is very unlikely from someone who has a Ph.D. and does work at NASA. My dad also believes that the Virgin Mary appeared to him. I tried to explain to him that he probably has the same problem I have sometimes, sleep paralysis. He said she came to him while he was in bed. He probably had an incident where his eyes opened but he was still semi alseep and hallucinated something in his room into Mary. I had that problem once. I thought slug monsters were coming to get me but it turned out I was just looking at the coral on my Spongebob poster.


Oh yeah, and I am excited about Intervention tonight. Yay, more people who aren't addicted to drugs. I like watching the gambling and shopping addicts. I heard they had a sex addict on there once but somehow I missed that one. Tonight they are having a girl with hardcore binge-and-puke bulimia. I've seen people gamble and do drugs in reality. I have NEVER seen anyone eat an entire gallon of ice cream in reality or on TV, so this should be interesting. I've never done that, and I am pretty sure I've never personally known anyone who has done that even if they did toy around with purging. So yeah, finally, something I have never seen before! It's going to be so disgusting! YAY! Why am I excited about this?!?
