Travel
Bye everyone! I’m leaving at O’dark-thirty tomorrow for lovely snowy Massachusetts. Where none of my friends are. Sigh. Anyways, see you when I get back (Jan. 1) and I promise to have lots of new material to put up here.
Au Revoir, A Bientot,

Oh, and to my dearest slowlorax: you can add mocha to your lemon lips related teasing. And yes, I explained why that should never ever happen again. But can you say worth it?

Adipose!
There is an Adipose living on my desk! For any non-Whoovians, it’s little adorable creature from Doctor Who. It’s absolutely darling. And it’s a stress-ball thingy, all squishy and fun to mess with. I kind of love it. It was a Christmas gift from a certain somebody who managed to totally redeem himself with it. Yes, I love my relationship of nerdy madness.

Ow
I have so many robot-induced injuries it’s not even funny. Bruises on my shins, scrapes on my arms, burns on my fingers…and it’s not even build season yet! And, just for funzies, we managed to burn out 2 power converters. And by burn out I quite literally mean burn. And I nearly grabbed some exposes wire with lots and lots of electricity flowing through it. That could have ended...

Oddities of Dinner
My friend and I were having a night out at the movies sort of thing, and were eating dinner in a restaurant where the waiter seemed to think we were on a date. We ended up with a “secluded” table, “romantic” candles and lots of questions about where we were going and if we were going dancing. It was a very strange dinner. He looked at us funny every time we cracked up. I...

Guess Who I'm Seeing Tomorrow?
I bet you already know. Considering that “you” consists of Lorax and only Lorax.
Anyways, he continues to expand my idea of how one person can be so smart and so dumb at the same time. It’s like having a puppy. You get annoyed when it does irritating things and you try to correct it but it never really sinks in and you can’t get rid of it because it’s just so...
My darling boyfriend is a totally adorable annoyance at the moment. Frustration much?
my brain is exploding a little bit
is it strange that I want to make her necklace?

Oh, Christmas Tree
We finally got a tree! It’s a mini-tree, about a foot tall. Better than nothing, I guess, and it didn’t make sense to get a full sized one, what with our apartment being so small and us leaving for Boston for Christmas. I still wish we had a real one, or a fireplace for that matter, or stockings. I’m tired of being sensible about things like this. I miss Christmas how it used to...

You know what's awesome?
Guys’ shirts. This sounds a little stranger typed out than it did in my head. But in all seriousness, guys’ shirts are the most comfy thing ever! I know this because I got sick and tired of having to wear 10 layers to be warm and decided to shop in the guys’ section of whichever store I was in. And now I have a super amazingly warm, surprisingly girly shirt! It’s purple...
Long Day
Today seemed to take about 24 more hours than it should have. I got about 3 hours of sleep and stumbled into school with hardly any homework done, messy hair, hardly any jewelry (unusual for me), random clothes and no makeup. Oh, and only one earring (which worked because my hair covers one ear at all times. Good thing, too).
And let’s not even discuss the state of my brain. Adding was way...
Truthfully
“I write messages to you and hit cancel before they send
I sit on chat waiting to talk to you
I get places early and sit with empty chairs on either side of me hoping you’ll sit down
I “accidentally” lean against you
I never wear dark lip gloss anymore, just in case
I wear too-thin jackets so I can tell you I’m cold and you’ll hug me
I call you...

Wait! Yikes!
Oh, no! I wrote a song about Robotics! I can only plead extraordinary tiredness/nerdiness. Please forgive me, dear readers.
But I still think it’s a pretty good song. To the tune of the teddy bear picnic song, if that wasn’t obvious from the words.
Much love,
C.A.S.

I'm such a nerd...
If you go into the lab next month
You’re sure of a big surprise
If you go into the lab next month
You’d better protect your eyes
For every nerd that ever there was
Is gathered there together because
The 8th’s the day Robotics gets our challenge

No, I’m not excited for build season at all!

A Serious Lack of Christmas Lights
Today, I went on my first Christmas light hunt of the season. If this isn’t part of your holiday tradition, it involves driving around random neighborhoods after dark, making quick turns down little streets where you see glimmers of light, and occasionally getting our of the car to stand on the sidewalk and gawk at yards.
Usually, this is a pretty quick hunt. However, this year, there were...

Dinner
I have a small dilemma. A mini-dilemma. A dilemma-ette?
Anyways.
My choices for dinner are:
Unidentifiable freezer food
Food that is freezer-burned
Food that the other half of the household has claimed
Food that is not really food (i.e. granola and nilla wafers)
Happier dinners to you, I hope

Initial
I am starting this blog, dear hypothetical future readers, because of several reasons. First, because I am tired of a certain person, who in the interest in internet anonymity shall remain nameless, bugging me about it. Second, because of a typically teenage and as of yet unfulfilled desire to share my commentary with the world. Finally, because this is another of a long chain of diaries and...
