See, I really am updating more often. We'll (as in me and you, the reader who is reading this while reading) see how long this keeps up though.
I bought a plant today, and named him Pedro the Plant. I used to have a plant my senior year of college (wow, I'm old enough to say "back in my senior year of college", scary) named Paco the Plant. He was a good plant, but when I moved out of my apartment I had no room to take him so I gave him to one of my friends and lived there for a year before finally passing away in a yellowish coma. So now I'm ready for another plant in my life, and went with my roommate to a cool nursery and picked out a nice tall green leafy plant. Who needs a dog, fish, or camel as a pet when you can have a big green leafy organism. I can take him on walks and play fetch. He's not too good at fetch yet though, but we'll work on practicing. I probably won't be able to take him home from college either, but once I move to Austin I'm going to buy a few plants to spruce up the decor. I figure it'll be a better pet for me since I often find I'm home very little during the week. I thought about a fish as well, but I don't have much luck with them, or at least I didn't with the goldfish I had when I was 8. Maybe it was because I was 8. But people told me that a fish isn't a real pet, so I figured a plant would be just as good as a non pet pet. Plus you can pet a plant, heck even sleep with it at night if you want. If you tried that with a fish, you'd end up with a very soggy bed (and well face it, a dead fish) which wouldn't be much fun. Though a bunch of dirt in your bed probably wouldn't be so great either.
Speaking of beds (which I really ought to be in one right now, but no no, instead I'm rambling on and on in a sleep deprivation induced state, to produce one of the infamous sleep deprived updates) also once I move to Austin I'm going to buy a new bigger bed, and splurge on the sheets. People spend like a third of their life in bed, so you might as well be really comfortable while you're there. Though most of the time when I sleep my sheets end up all over the place, half off the bed (or completely off the bed) so that's kind of annoying. I've always figured my future wife would have to be a very understanding person with the way I sleep since I'm all over the place. A log I am not.
I haven't decided on what exactly I'm going to be for Halloween. I really miss the whole Free Candy thing (now I just get it from sketchy men in windowless vans) but on the other hand, being an adult is really cool because I can just BUY the candy when I want it instead of having to beg for it once a year and only getting like a few good one's and then a bunch of tootsie rolls and candy corn (which I'd rather have real corn thank you very much rather than that crazy stuff). My best costume was collaboration with my friend Sarah as a nerd who got the hot girl like in the movies. This year I'm heavily leaning towards being a Double Dare (holy crap a geocities site. Now THAT brings back memories. Mostly bad one's though as this one is) contestant, but I'd really need a DD shirt to pull it off and get people to recognize it.
And I almost forgot the biggest news of all, I got in my very first car accident ever Monday evening, because I forgot the most important rule of all when driving: Always assume other drivers will do something stupid. It's saved me countless times, but it just takes once. I figured a car without a turn signal would be going straight at a red light, so I moved to go around him on the right so I could make a right hand turn. This was however when he decided he was going to go right as well and run into my front driver side bumper. Luckily it wasn't very serious and only took off a bit of paint, but it was my nice new shiny perfect car that is now showing some skin, and I want it to be a G rated car. My current plan is to just use some touch up paint for the moment since it's really not that noticeable, and get it fixed properly once I get to Austin and don't have to hoard my money quite so much.
Ok, I think I'm going to go to bed now, since it's late (Mom, this means I'm writing this at 10:30 pm, I swear). Mmmm sleep... I'm a fan.
