Yeah, so. I have a story.

I was kind of depressed this week. Not for any really good reason, but just a general feeling of aimlessness and neglect that just made me feel not so hot. Well, today I didn't have a class until 4. Which left me a lot of time to just sit and think, the exact opposite of what I needed. So I tried to fill up time. I went to the gym, I read a book, I ate, I wikipedia.d, I worked a little on my animation. But no matter what I did, I just couldn't shake it. Well, I had InsideTrack today. Some of you may recall me talking about my "coach" Jessica. We have a difficult relationship the two of us, and I'm not finding that there is going to be a negotiable line we are going to reach. While I was walking over there, I decided it would probably be in my best interests to try and put on a happy-face for out meeting so I wouldn't get bombarded with questions about my mental stability. So I'm humming "If you're happy and you know it.." song on my way over there, I open the door, and Jessica's like "How are you?" I reply "I'm doing pretty good." And she just stares, then says, "you know, it's funny how people respond to a 'What's up?' or 'How are you doing?' as if it is just a normal gretting. People can say 'I'm doing well,' and really be having a hard time. And you know James, this is a place where you can be open about all of that."

And I just start laughing. Out loud, really loud. Only a true nemesis would know me so well.

And I tell her, no I'm really okay.

And I am really okay.

So maybe Jessica is good for something after all.


But enough of that.

Here are some funnies I've kept to myself.

So, remember the water-clock? Yes, you do. I've mentioned it one-too-many posts. I have a update. My dad comes in and sees it. I'm like, "that's the water clock Katie got me for Christmas." He asks how it works, and I tell him it's something about the electrolytes in the water. And he looks at it for a while, and then he shakes it. Not repeatedly, but just one really powerful shake.

And the clock went dead. Right then. Three months. I say no more.

Ben left right? But although the man is gone, the evidence remains. It turns out Ben left little, well, one could call them "Easter Eggs of Ben." Which are essentially remains of Ben that Ben did not see fit to bring along with himself. Like dirty dishes. An Obama sign. His hair in the drain.

The list goes on, but it isn't a bad thing. People come into our room and see a pumpkin, and they ask about it. And me and Jake just roll eyes. We know, but we tell them it's a sore subject. So now we have a mysterious pumpkin in our room and our hall is fascinated by it. Well not it, so much as the non-existent ellusive story that belongs with to pumpkin.
But you can be in on the secret.


I was going to end it there, because that was an ending worth it's weight in gold, but I must add.

So I'm sitting in my room on my bed writing a blog. Katie was here too and Jake came in and asked if she could help him with math homework because they are in the same class. She complies, and they started working. After Katie had just finished giving a lengthy explanation of a certain problem, Jake replies "You have really shiny hands." And I laughed a little too loud. And Jake is caught offguard because he didn't think I was listening, and tries to explain himself, using his hands as an example of "not shiny-hands." And he tries to point out the differences between a shiny and not-shiny hand and me and Katie just try and humor him so he doesn't feel too embarrassed. Ahh, roommates.
