I am getting sick and things are not going to calm down till what, February? :(
I am potentially getting a roommate that I met for 5 minutes in two weeks, awesome (kinda). So I have to clean the apartment and get my shit together.
Robotics is going full swing again and we are still in the preseason. I somewhat foolishly offered to let one of the kids cut my hair if they got a $500 donation, well that quickly got out of hand - two other people matched the $500 so it was instantly a $1500 haircut and I could no longer back out. They just got the money and my head is going to be a bit chilly in the near future I fear. They are throwing a party for cutting my hair. How strange.
I had a connection with someone recently that was very much long-time coming. It was a relief if nothing else, and think valid despite any levels of intoxication. I think they are preparing for some more turmoil in their life which makes it hard to know what to say. I have to be encouraging but not too pessimistic.
Halloween is stressful. This sucks. I have a costume idea but I don't know what I would even be doing with it. I am not exactly thrilled to be going to a party that I am half welcomed and basically not invited. Seriously, wtf?
Maybe it is time for FIRST to kick in taking 20+ hours a week (escape), IDk.

Ahh I have mobile music once again!
Regina:
This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath
No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again
Postal Service:
I was waiting for a cross-town train in the London underground when it struck me
That I've been waiting since birth to find a love that would look and sound like a movie
So I changed my plans and rented a camera and a van and then I called you
"I need you to pretend that we are in love again" and you agreed to
I want so badly to believe that "there is truth, that love is real"
And I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd
I greased the lens and framed the shot using a friend as my stand-in
The script it called for rain but it was clear that day so we faked it
The marker snapped and I yelled "quiet on the set" and then called "action!"
And I kissed you in a style that Clark Gable would have admired (I thought it classic)
I want so badly to believe that "there is truth, that love is real"
And I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd
I know you're wise beyond your years, but do you ever get the fear
That your perfect verse is just a lie you tell yourself to help you get by?

ludicrous speed
Dating is expensive. Is it that a person becomes that much more active or is it kind of an artificial need for formality in going out to eat or things like that? Probably a combination but I need to budget a bit better... or get a better job... or a roomate :/
Suddenly it feels like the important things in my life are summed up in a handfull of concepts/points/ideas. Is it not more complicated than this? Have I really created a generic litmus test that can so immediately dictate an interaction with someone? I think time still plays a factor but it is amazing how irrelevent it has become - whether it is a couple of months or a couple of weeks (and maybe, but hopefully not a couple of years).
The Red Bull soapbox races were a blast. There was an incredible turn out despite it being rainy-bad weather. A fire engine drove down the street in the middle of the course either not knowing the course would be there, or needing to get through anyway. Within maybe a minute maximum, the firefighters jumped out of the truck and the audience broke the course dragging the rails and bails of hay in a frenzy of help so the truck could drive through, and then almost instantly returned the course to its previous state. It was kind of amazing to witness. By far the most expensive polished design crashed in one of the shortest amounts of time :) I ate a ton of kettle corn :/
Some things in life still challenge me. It is wonderful and beautiful in its own, hard to appreciate way. It is nice to get a glimpse into someone even after I had believed it was a forgone possibility.
