A little bit about me

My post earlier today was a rant of frustration and a little bit of humor, although I'm not sure that came across. Anywho, a little bit about my personal life.

Got a shiny new phone!! It's very pretty. It's the MotoKRZR m1Fire (or something). It's shiny, red and sexy. I love it. It takes pictures and video. Plays music. And is sleek and thin. I even plunked down some cash to buy some ring tones for it. I got O Valencia by the Decemberists, Boston by Augustana, Here It Goes Again by OK Go, and Move Along by the All-American Rejects. If you'd like any of these particular songs to be the ring when you call (not that many people do) let me know. :) I'm sure I'll buy more ring tones at some point, even though I rarely ever get calls because it's fun. :)

What else? Busy day. Talks, classes, etc. Fun times I'm sure. Actually, the talks were pretty interesting. One on beach erosion in the Oceanside area (Adora's hometown) and one on magnetic inclinations of magnetic minerals on the Tibetan Plateau. Pretty interesting stuff. Stayed a bit late in my office to get some reading done. Good thing too, since I didn't really do anything when I got home. Was busy playing with my new phone. Although, I did do my federal taxes. Yay for me. Also yay, because I don't owe any money! hazaa. Thought I was going to.

Did feel a bit awkward for a bit. Apparently my department is having a Casino Night Cocktail party on Saturday. I wasn't really planning on attending for several reasons - heard last year there was quite a bit of drinking and drug use (yuck on both counts, but mainly the latter), would have to dress up, and yucky boy might be there. Anyway, was sitting in class today when two of my cohort asked if I was going - responded, "nope". Then they wanted to know why, I told them I didn't want to go - they didn't seem to think it was a good excuse. Cheryl, a girl I just met actually, came to my defense. She understood why I wouldn't want to go, and told them that if I didn't want to go I didn't want to go. So that was nice of her. We made introductions and all that, so that's nice. A class buddy. Even though I already know everyone else in the class, but it never hurts to have more class buddies.

Anyway... not much else going on. Am looking forward to going to bed. So I think I'll start doing the things to make that possible. Goodnight!
