Randomness

I wonder how many people remember the “I want a standing ovation” thing from freshman orientation. Meh.
I was browsing through photos for Student Wars and came across some orientation pictures, and it reminded me of that.
In any case, Loose Ends is slightly more than half done. If I’m not lazy this upcoming weekend, I can probably have it out by Monday… not that anyone really cares anyway.

The flight yesterday was mostly uneventful. There was an interesting kid behind me in line at the security checkpoint, but I’ve already written about this in my LJ, and I don’t really want to repost it here.

Super-special bonux thank you points go to Klipper for picking me up from the airport yesterday. Really, you made things a lot easier for me, and made it so I had time to do cluster games and everything. Thanks :D

Alan playing Starcraft.

According to Facebook, I now know 6 Alans (besides myself; plus one Allan). Interesting, especially given that 4 of them have been in this past year.

Tonight should be good. In fact, most of today should be good if I manage to actually contact all the people I’ve been wanting to contact and who have been wanting to contact me.

Back in Arizona

As the post title says, I’m back in Arizona for a week and a half. Wheeee.

Photos from various events (Alisa’s movie night, Networks review session, matthewj portraits, and last night’s game night) have been uploaded to Photos.

Q: How did I miss this picture yesterday? BAM!

A: I just don’t know!

Yay for games!

Yeah, that’s basically it :-P
I’m already homesick. Can’t wait until I head back.

Also, dialup sucks.

Games and foo

Tonight was Top Secret Video Game Party X and it was awesome.



The past few days have been filled with general happiness and movingness and spending with with peopleness, and have just been amazing and perfect. I’m really wishing I didn’t have to go away for a little while.

In about 11 hours I will be on a plane heading back to Phoenix, where I shall remain for a week and a half before coming back here for my summer job. Wheee. Unfortunately, I will be getting my wisdom teeth out on Friday, so that will be an adventure. Blah.

Not particularly much else to comment on. There will be a full photo gallery of images from this and the Networks study sessions eventually at photos, but not now since it is 2:30 and I should sleep.

Life

Why is life so amazing? :)

I did more work today on CMU Adventures. I added a messaging system so you can send messages to other players, and will soon extend it to include a public message board system where you can alternately post messages that anyone can read. Any help debugging that would be appreciated. Also, magic has generally been rebalanced as to be less abusive… let’s see how that works out.

Last night was happiness, spending time with awesome people and having random conversations. I think the more time passes, the more I’m loving just spending time with and being around friends. This is a good thing.
Also, spending time with >friend is also always a good thing. ^_^

Also, I got my official job offer today in the mail, and accepted it. I start work on May 28th, so I’ll be back here in Pittsburgh a bit before then. I’ll be working as a developer with General Dynamics. Sounds kinda awesome… my first real developer position. Kinda scared though.

Also, I promised Rolf I wouldn’t post pictures until people lost interest, but there was a Kesden/Rolf newspaper fight in teh clustar yesterday and I have pictures, so you should ask me if you want to see them.

Wheee, yay for Super Smash Brothers with huge turnip things :D

Tonight is 8’s ITG party of awesome and win. Yay for life!

This song Change (Jason Nevins Dance/Pop Radio Edit) might be the first song I’ve listened to where the remix is better than the original song. It’s truly an awesome remix for an already fairly awesome song. I love getting new music, even though I really can’t afford it right now :)

Life has been incredibly awesome and happy lately, despite this weekend consisting mostly of me being lazy and not getting work done and now, as a result, being incredibly behind in classwork and likely going to fail the graph theory exam tomorrow. I think Friday night was the most awesome time I’ve ever had in a long time. There was chocolate fondue (courtesy of Mars and Dan, I believe), awesome games, spending time with friends/people I care about, and some awesome conversation until 5:30 AM.
There was also a Tim getting eaten by his bed.

There was also scary ponytail-Dan-thing

There was an ITG sightreading tournament on Saturday that I went to and photographed for a bit. It had a rather impressive turnout.

So yeah, this weekend has been full of laziness and graph theory studying (and I’m still going to fail, ahhh!). Also worked a bit on my paper for photo history. I should have been coding networks. Bleh. At least we ended up doing well on p2. Yay for doing well on projects.

Life makes me so happy… friends make me so happy…
Why are people so awesome?
