let me tell you, bro

I love being back already.

Magnetic poetry with Elyse, Kevin, and Tucker is so many exciting.
I am writing down all this stuff in a few minutes for future reference.





But yes. Sam'n'Erik are coming back tomorrow!

It is so close. SO CLOSE, BRO.


I am going back tomorrow. I am excited for the next day.

What is your reason for living?

Another AskReddit one.


I mainly exist to be utile. And convenient. I like to be helpful. I dunno. I used to pretend to be mean to mask it, I guess, so people wouldn't take advantage of me. But I gave that up! I am too nice, often to my own detriment. Here is my priority list, in case anyone was wondering:
1. Everyone else
2. Leah


It is lame sometimes.

Captain Kirk

is coming back to college with me.


My dad has officially passed him on.
Fuck yeah!

driving

can be fun, if you promise yourself you won't be paranoid. Hella boredom helps with this.



I went to the temples today. It was fucking neat. I feel like a different person. I would have never agreed to this sort of thing before. Before what, I dunno. Just before, I guess. Maybe it is the hella boredom talking.

I am putting off reading, because I know the few books I have left will get done in a few hours each. I am letting this hella boredom escalate before I take any action. In the meantime, I have Professor Layton and Dinosaur Comics. And AskReddit.




I dunno. I feel pretty good today. This is only relatively speaking of course. Break has been a mess.

I like most things more than Magic.

Just sayin'.

Hmmm, so it seems I am on AskReddit more than any other site (excluding facebook).

But anyway, there was one, Describe your father.
So I will.


My dad is a neat guy. I am more like him than anyone else. He's a Trekkie and he likes to stay at home. He's bad at studying and doing what he needs to do, but he gets it done. He's pretty selfless, being a doctor because of us. He'd rather be a historian, but you know how it goes. Doing things you hate, that's what family is. He is one of the smartest people I know. He is a good communicator. He can explain without being condescending. Personally, I think he would make a great professor. I like listening to him talk about politics or science or religion or history. He talks to me now the same way he did when I was four; the same way as he talks on the phone; the same way as he talks at a board meeting. He speaks louder and in English and with very specific words, often pausing to make sure he has the right one. I admire my dad a lot; it is too bad he doesn't know. He does a lot of things to piss me off, most of them are intentional, but yeah, he's a dad. It's understandable.

My dad is neat D:

Sam

She is clear and insightful.

from facebook chat:

but in eriks mind he thinks like this "i love leah. i love dota. i cannot be with leah right now and talking on the phone is hard. dota and scott are here tho."



lolololololol

this is how I would like to communicate

1. there is tie between the phone and irl for first place. There are some things I'd rather say in person (well, I guess inane chit chat) but heavy stuff I reserve for phone calls. I DON'T KNOW WHY.

2. instant messaging. I am putting AIM/Skype over Facebook chat, though, because it is so frustrating sometimes

3. email. If you need to tell me something important (not necessarily urgent, but you know, IMPORTANT) and you expect a for reals reply, the yeah-I-thought-about-it-and-here's-a-couple-paragraphs-detailing-it sort of reply, EMAIL ME.

4. for trivial, urgent stuff, text

5. for trivial, non-urgent stuff, twitter

6. facebook wall/messages, and myspace, I suppose.


Okay, I know that this is not how it actually is.
It is more like text, fb chat and that's it.
And I can live with that, I guess.

I am an idealist, but also highly adaptable.

Burgmuller

I forgot he wrote Arabesque and Ballade! Score.

Today I looked through one of my piano books and I found another Burgmuller piece called Progress. It is pretty.

And yeah, I know he wrote plenty for piano students, but those are so much fun to play. I don't even know.



This is a pretty pointless post, but I do enjoy Burgmuller.

show me what you got

I'm titling this post with a line from the song I am listening. Ultimate Douche!

Anyway, today was surprisingly fantastic. Avoiding facebook is fun.
Instead of the internet, I read and played the piano.

I am so fucking cultured, right?
Ha.


So, piano.
I played some Kabalevsky, which was fun, and some Bartok, and some other assorted stuffs, before I got a major craving for Burgmuller and my sonatina book. I couldn't locate the sonatinas, but with the aid of the internet, I obtained sheet music for Innocence. Oh man, that really could be my favorite piece. I love running notes.
