Random topics

Earlier this evening, I was chatting on the phone with Angel. Got updates on the new home situation, and shot the breeze for a good while.

We somehow can't ever have a truly serious conversation, though. Inevitably, we start to giggle like lunatics over... I dunno, anything, really. I believe tonight we started on the topic of feral vs. domesticated nerds.

Yeah, you heard me. We started delineating traits seen in nerds in their wild state and how, depending on the amount of socialization they receive, they can adapt to normal day-to-day interactions with others. She worked with several here in Dallas who were still feral, the ones who had trouble with mandatory "fun" days because it involved talking to people, the ones who maybe haven't discovered soap and showers.

We laughed for a long, long time.

Sink or Swim

It's wonderful to have time off. Granted, my sleep cycle hasn't fully recovered to it's baseline, but it's much better than the last post-night stretch from a couple of months ago. Suspecting that sticking to a daily exercise routine is helping a bit, although an overlong nap today has left me more wakeful than desired.

Studying? Been less successful in that area, with probably an hour at best since Monday. A plan is in place for tomorrow, however, and anticipating some productivity in that department. For the most part, been doing a musical immersion for the past few days. Not bad, but would be ideal to combine the 2, if possible.

Been a bit pensive on various matters over the past day or so. Not bad pensive, not "I suck" pensive, but been doing some hard thinking. Some conclusions have been unpleasant, but overall feeling like it should net good. Will see.

Currently, feeling very bummed that one of my friends is moving (albeit temporarily) to Cincinnati. She's someone you can almost guarantee will sing along with anything you toss out, be it at a restaurant, in the car, or even in a movie theater. Really. Not to mention the crazy giddy laughing that usually takes place whenever we go out, no alcohol needed. Angel, what are we going to do without you? Cincinnati better treat you right.
