12:23 am	oh, and the reason i'm posting? because apparently lalartu had this nice editor already installed on the machine... how handy (Comment on this)
12:19 am	long time... as always It was a fun Christmas... broke with tradition and spent xmas eve in VA at lalartu and cussata's. We had a really nice, big, traditional dinner and opened our pjs while hanging out with C's mom and grandma. All in all the breaking of tradition wasn't too horrible of a thing :-) And of course we had a massive christmas, as always... and I got a fancy new camera (that can transfer photos wirelessly to the laptop that I have on-loan from S), so hopefully I'll put it to good use!

10:11 pm	a rachel weekend Went with Rachel to her sister's for a party on Saturday... being the social butterflies we are, we spent a large part of the time just the two of us hanging out and talking in the "poker room"... eventually (when we were trying to leave...) we did end up socializing, but that's beside the point... during the antisocial period, Rachel mentioned something about wanting to do some more... extreme... type fitness things (long run/triathlon type events) and that was all I needed to hear. So we're going to start small (partially because the Race for the Cure is coming up soon and was an easy goal to set) and see where it goes from there. We did go for a walk/run on Sunday, even after the late night... so that's a good start! Also, before Rachel came over, I went to Costco for the first time and got a 25 pound bag of flour!! :-) (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:07 am	i keep on feeling tired... but then, when i finally decide that instead of sitting awake in my bed it's time to sleep, all of a sudden sleep seems like the most boring, pointless thing in the entire world... maybe it has to do with the lack of activity recently, since we're on break from hockey and dance right now (maybe that's also why I've posted so much recently, nothing to do, and lots of energy) also... i'm such a workaholic (not that that's really news) (2 Comments |Comment on this)

12:30 am	way too long response to TJ so this started out as a response to TJs comment to my last post, but it was just way too long... so here it is, a slight elaboration on my reaction to the comment by some coworker in my performance review at work "does't interact the same with everyone" and TJ's response: "well who the hell does interact the same with everyone??" seriously! My performance manager was like "Well there was one... comment... that I guess you should know about" and she read the quote... then we both stared at each other for a second because, seriously, what the hell. It makes my brain hurt thinking about it. Umm... like I'm not helping some people as much as others? i don't think so, I help anyone who asks for help... Maybe I don't go out of my way to help others? but I'm one of the most junior people on the team, that shouldn't fall on my shoulders (even though I do)... The only person who I could imagine saying it is the one I practially walk through entire tasks with, so she thinks I don't help others as much as I help her (aka all the time)? no, that's just me being a bit bitter... She thinks I talk to others on a different level? hmmm, that's true, but that's because they can understand what i'm talking about... And if it wasn't her? ooouuuucccchhhh... brain.... hurt.... is it really possible anyone else really would have said that?!?! so you can see how it gets into my head... and eventually it just hurts... I would like to thank random commenting person for all of their help in making me a better employee... Current Mood: entertained Current Music: Aerosmith - Fever (Comment on this)

11:01 pm	weird sometimes I just think I'm really weird... I over think things way too much, which I think has something to do with being able to see pretty much every side of any argument, so I can't decide/settle on anything... also, I never want to impose anything on anyone, so I definitely can't settle on anything for anyone else... and now my head is just spinning with thoughts and I can't even get any of them out. At work we had done (a fake version of) the Myers-Briggs test and I'm an ENFP of which I think the E and P are definitely shown in what I was trying to get across above... the P, perceiving, always open to/taking in more information before making a decision and E, extravert, I think that I need someone else to bounce my ideas off and get input from, otherwise I get lost (or, if you want to be more... cynical, I need validation) ok, enough of my ramblings, which never turn out as interesting or comprehensible or complete on paper as they are in my head... so now for more tangible things... I had my 9 month review at work today, and it pretty much went as well as the 6 month one, but there was one possible area for improvement that someone had suggested, and neither my performance manager nor myself really understood it... apparently someone said that I "don't interact the same with everyone" or something, whatever they meant by that... (a little more detail might have been helpful!) and now my brain is off elsewhere... so i guess it's time for bed Current Mood: weird Current Music: woods tea co - finnegan's wake (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:25 pm	Last night was spent hanging out/drinking with "the Germans" until 3am and they didn't want us to leave "so early" and continued to offer the guest room, couches, etc. so we wouldn't have to make the 2 minute walk back. Also, they invited me to an Easter dinner (on Good Friday). All of this in the first night I ever really met them. And now it's 10pm on a Saturday night and I am about to fall over... I am so ridiculously tired. Taking Magic to bed with me, the poor lonely cat! (Comment on this)

3:14 am	I miss the times when the night seemed to last forever just to let you have good conversations and the rest of the world was asleep. How did the night get so short and when did the world stop sleeping? 3 or 4 in the morning used to be my favorite time of day, but now that just seems too close to morning and it doesn't seem quite so private anymore. I remember staying up late and talking to people until the sun rose (or until we feel asleep right before the sun rose) and it was easier to be honest and talk about things you had never before let escape your head. I liked being able to connect with just 1 or 2 people, it really made you feel close, if even only for that night and the things you discovered and discussed were things that you never would have thought of during the day. But now 3am comes so quickly, everyone is still up and no one is in the mood for an introspective talk. Even when everyone is asleep it seems more lonely than private now. I want 3am back, I want to reclaim my time. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:45 am	sometimes I think I'm a little crazy, but at least I'm enjoying myself... live journal is good because you can be heard, but it's bad because you can be heard a little more clearly than you want... Current Mood: happy (Comment on this)

11:07 am	Vermont i'm up in Vermont celebrating Clare's 22nd birthday. (Yay, Clare!) We had a fun weekend hanging out with her roommates and friends from school and study abroad. It's a nice change of pace and it just intensifies my desire to move closer to work and get a bunch of roommates (preferably in a house that I can buy). Now I'm off to wander the streets of Burlington while Clare is at work. (Comment on this)

9:48 am	bitch! So I saw the bitch last night! Christine was bumped from her connecting flight to Miami and stuck in a hotel by Regan for the night... luckily I hadn't gotten very far in making the mac and cheese I was planning on having for dinner when I got the message... so i dumped out the almost boiling water and headed down to Arlington for a late dinner It was a lot of fun hanging out/catching up... I almost forgot how much fun we have together just doing nothing... So anyways, it was a good night and I ended up in Maryland a night earlier because of it, so now I'm off to try and finish my Christmas shopping (Comment on this)

1:48 pm	super quick update so... while the project i'm working on builds, I figured I would take a minute to update, since Rachel's been asking since at least last week! Thanksgiving weekend Clare was in town and we went to see Harry Potter and I decided that I should probably start reading the books, so I did... and now I'm more than half way through book 3... they weren't lying when they said that stuff was addictive! Luckily the books are getting a little longer, so they should last a bit longer! Anyways, back to work... I'm out of here in an hour so I can head to dance class Current Mood: bouncy Current Music: Lust for Life - Iggy Pop (Comment on this)
