elfie_chanToday, I had a 44-oz Mountain Dew. I did not do this intentionally. A friend of mine in my art class offered to get me some caffiene when he got himself a soda, and (foolishly, perhaps) I thanked him kindly. I was expecting perhaps a can of Mountain Dew, or a small fountain drink. He then proceeded to return with a 44-oz soda for himself (unidentified, but it was brownish) and a 44-oz Mountain Dew for me. Now, I do not drink 44 ounces of ANYTHING in general at once (except maybe milk), so this was rather daunting. Luckily, I had two hours of art class in which to consume the cauldron of caffiene that my friend had set before me.
As I sipped my lovely neon-green soda, I found that my senses were heightened. Everything seemed sharper, but it was difficult to focus on any one thing for any great length of time. My art project, however, is gonna be SPIFF. I have it all planned out and everything--I just have to actually paint it now. Whee!
I also found that I had LOTS of energy for work, which was a good thing because tonight was possibly the WORST night for electronic/mechanical devices that I have ever seen. My poor boss was running around trying to do her job and other people's, we were shorthanded, and my cash register restarted for no apparent reason. Blargh.
I learned another thing: if you consume 44 ounces of radioactive caffinated goodness and you are not used to it, eat something nutritious and balance your system a bit so you don't crash. I had barely enough time to grab a peanut butter sandwich and a glass of milk before I had to run to work (and I made it there RIGHT on time), but I think it saved me from a huge crash. I was just nicely relaxed when Alex came and picked me up from work tonight.
So, Mountain Dew is my friend. I love it. It provides a high that I doubt can truly be duplicated. I would not, however, recommend being only 97 lbs and drinking that much of it in one sitting. Whew. Low body mass is a very interesting condition.
And now, something that is not my friend: Hotmail. Apparently, I'm using up 100% of my resources, and they want me to buy the "expanded" account. This really irks me--my webspace provider, freewebspace.com, did that to me, too. I started out with ftp service and tons of space and NO POPUPS. Now, they've taken away my ftp and set the website up so that every time you load a new page, you get a new popup window. I HATE POPUPS. I believe I may have mentioned that. I don't have a problem with a small banner ad across the top of my page or something like that--I realize that's the price I have to pay for free webspace. However, I would also like to avoid annoying people who visit my webpage. I think that it's all a conspiracy. The webspace providers are being as annoying as possible to make us pay. Of course, they're in it for the money, and we get what we pay for, and all that jazz. It still stinks. Greedy Microsoft. Greedy Freewebspace. It's not free. It's all a lie. *nodnods solemnly and grumps*
Enough ranting, as much fun as it is. I've been writing A LOT lately. I'm considering doing a series of LJ entries a little bit like He-man's--episodes of a story. Cheers? Boos? Indifferent little raised eyebrows? What do you, the viewers at home, think? Hey, it could be fun! I've been focusing less on Ohmi and more on Tsunami now...if you really want to know about Tsunami, do let me know. That's a LONG story...I'll have to do a webpage just for her and her adventures sometime.
Stress is bad. School, work, and trying to keep up with my social life, online and offline, is stressful. I do not, however, want to drop anything. I guess I'll just go on being stressed. Perhaps I should drink more Mountain Dew.
And now, some obviously-Mountain-Dew-induced quizzes!
Why yes, yes, I am. ^_^v I like Millie. She's sweet, she's nice, she's polite...and she has a HUGE gun. Hee hee. Oh, and Wolfwood's awesome, too.
Except that I don't like guns. Can I have a HUGE crossbow, instead?
Like Ari-chan, I am not into Sailor Moon IN THE LEAST. I watched about 10 minutes of one episode, and when the cats started crying, I was frightened and left. *nodnods*
Well, DUH! ^__^v
And one more:
I am Ghaleon; I was one of the head mages in the magical city of Vane. I witnessed the Goddess Althena's transformation into a human. This angered me; I thought we couldn't survive without a Goddess... I turned evil, and decided to remake the Goddess.
Which RPG villain are you?
Cool. If I were a villain, I'd be a long-haired pretty-boy from LUNAR. I think that's pretty spiffy...if I HAD to be evil. ^_^v
Well...it's late/early. Time for sleepin'! G'night, everybody!
Sleeeeeeeep..... -_- zzzzz....
