I'm going on a trip

Literally, not the drug slang >_>

I'm going to Michigan for the national ANS student conference. It should be interesting, it's one of the largest gatherings of potential employers in the nuclear field, so I'm going to have to print out several resumes prior to going. There are 8 of us going from the school, and we are driving (it's a tad long of a drive). We are leaving at 10pm tomorrow night.

However, this also means that I am going to miss classes on thursday and friday. :/ Oh yeah, and all of my work for this week has to be done by tomorrow too, so that I can have someone hand stuff in for me.

Sigh

My mom kind of pissed me off in the car today. She was going on and on about how she was going to live with me and clean my house for me. She said 'she would live in one wing of the house and "my wife and I" could live in the main building.' I was like.. wtf mom, no you are not going to live with me. She seems to have some kind of delusion that I'm going to live in a mansion or something. And the wife comment pissed me off because she put me through the stress of answering that question "do you think you're gay?" for the first time. I answered honestly, and she seems to have rejected my answer.

ARRGHHH

I didn't say anything to her, I simply shook my head.



P.S.
I always thought people were silly for claiming to have fallen in love over the internet.
:S

Been busy.

Had a heat transfer exam last week- did very well, so the semester is off to a good start. Now I have two more exams before spring break- one tomorrow, and one thursday. After classes friday, I'm off for spring break. I also have to make my resume look nice and apply for internships, I've delayed far too long on that... I just need to figure out how to make my resume look nice :/

On another note, I spent a while texting Ben yesterday, trying to keep his mind off of suicide. He's going through a tough time right now, and it would mean a lot to me if you would go give him some words of encouragement.. even if you don't really know what's going on.

...thanks.

Pride Alliance

I finally found them at a meeting.

I think the best word to describe them was... um gay, lol. The gay guys there were of the type that couldn't hide it even if they wanted to.

I didn't really say much. I was sort of uncomfortable with the fact that I recognized two of the people there. They aren't people that I see on a daily basis though. Though, according to someone else in the group, they are both straight...


At one point in the meeting, one of the guys turned to me and said "Am I counting you?"

I was like... "er, what?"

And he said "Am I counting you as one of the straight people here?"

So I just smiled and said "no."

That's pretty much the all I said, except for my name.
Though, they did sort of piss me off a couple times... mostly stereotype things. They were talking about events and how all gay men like to dance. I was thinking to myself... but I -hate- dancing. They were also talking about lady gaga. I hate to point out to them that I don't listen to her. I mean really, am I the only gay guy that -doesn't- like music that's been stereotypically labeled as "gay guy music"?!

*sigh*

In other news, I walked back to my dorm from campus in that blizzard yesterday. Lets just say it's a 1.5 mile walk, and my inner thigh muscles have been sore all day today.

Imagine

When I'm in a mood for slow-ish music, I listen to the emotive album from A Perfect Circle.



This song, to me, is about imagining a world without war.

I rather detest valentine's day

Sure it sounds bitter, think whatever you want. It seems like a day designed to remind people of how lonely they are. I kind of feel bad for my brother- his birthday is in two days (so we had cake today).

There was something else I was going to post about today, but I can't seem to recall what it was. So instead, have some kitten photos. Captions are below each one.

The box is her favorite toy. And that's my brother's leg, not mine btw..

Again, not my hand. Sorry :P

She likes to sit on top of the scratching post with her back legs hanging on either side.

She's pretty cute. But she's also naughty. We've nicknamed her "Nightmare."

She's staring at the neck strap for the camera.

Her box again

I figure it isn't fair to put all these kitten photos and leave the dog out. He turns his head when he barks. (He's a weird dog.)

The dog loves to play with the cat. And he's really good about it too, she rarely yells at him seriously.

Apologies for the relatively long post, even if most of it is pictures.

I got a haircut

He cut off a little more than I was expecting D:

Shaking my head doesn't make my hair move anymore -.-
