I want a coin operated boy*

[bending_sickle]

Yesterday talked with Leslie for some 6 hours. She just got back and is leaving again Friday forevers.

Today's first day of SBB was nervewracking (because I'm weak). Especially the "How to get a job" lecture, and how you need to Know Thyself before deciding what to apply for.

I slept fitfully all night, waking up over and over and having my typical nightmares of actually waking up and going about my business thinking I'm running late only to really wake up and think, damnit, now I really am going to be late. Woke up some 2 times at night and then just like every 20 minutes or so from dawn to alarm clock. *sigh* It was also a trick getting to sleep, heart all a-pounding in that "Ha ha, panic in the sheets!** Insooooomnia!" kind of way.

My nerves were totally not soothed by the inexplicable and unstoppable double-house beeping of the fire alarm this morning.

I whiled away the afternoon printing and reading for my Project Proposal (I need to have a rough draft in two weeks, and a final by the end of the month). Then I met up with Lander for a walk, which I thought would be a stroll but turned out to be 2 hours long. (I think he likes me. Like, likes, but I don't likelike and anyway, we get along fine and all but I don't think we click really well conversation-wise. I mean, I feel like I'm making an effort most of the time. But he's nice and helpful and friends are good things to have. But argh, if I go through another awkward unrequited-like thing, I'm a-gonna scream. Damn boys.)

** Panic in the Sheets sounds like a great title for something...

*reading through one of the UK/US translations*

But... I don't use some of the US terms. I already use the 'UK' terms instead, even before I started watching too much BBC.

Maybe it's a region thing. Different regions of the US use different words...
