Feelin' like Garfield on a Monday

I dumped my first cup of coffee all over myself today. Darn morning hands. It brought on such an overwhelming cascade of emotions. I felt the pain from the hot sting of boiling coffee on my skin. I felt despair at not having consumed more than two sips it before losing it all over the floor. I felt angry that I derped so hard trying to grab the mug handle. And I pretty much raged at the fact that I was going to have to clean it up before making another cup.

Yes, it does seem a little over dramatic. But nobody deserves this kind of a Monday.

I've got a bad feeling it has set the tone for the rest of my day, too. I dropped my mitten in a melted snow puddle on the bus on my way to campus this morning.

As the smart people in my life would say right now while grabbing my face to ensure eye contact, "puppies, and rainbows, and unicorns, and butterflies, and sunshine, and lollipops...."

So yeah, if someone wanted to bring me a basket of adorable puppies, that would be cool...

Puppies, specifically. I'm not feeling as fond toward cats as I normally do. It probably has something to do with the fact that my cat was running laps around my room at 4 AM last night and then meowed for a half an hour outside my door when I kicked her out. And no, I couldn't have just cuddled her. She is the most fidgety cat I've ever attempted to snuggle with. If I have to choose between incessant meowing or tiny cat paws drilling into my face and body as she readjusts for the billionth time, well, I guess you already know what I'd choose.

And now the coffee loss rage makes so much more sense..

On that note, good luck with your Monday, folks! You might just need it.

Procrastination At The End Of "Hell Week"

The question is never, "Should I buy this onesie?". The question is always, "Where can I wear this onesie?" and the answer is always "Wherever I effing want to!".

I really love that I have friends who will not question my suggestion to turn random things upside down in a store while they're on the phone with me. Even better is when I get photo evidence the next day.

So, I had an awkward moment today when I realized that my mom has become somewhat knowledgeable of modern rock music because of the songs I sing in the shower every day.

My social influence class is making me increasingly suspicious of everything. Lately, I've been wondering how much of my social interactions with people are based on the principle of reciprocity. How many people that claim they like me think I'm awesome because of the halo effect?  I'm literally questioning everything about myself because I'm using the general other for information. Really looking forward to my Interpersonal Relationships class next semester... Sorry in advance, everyone.

So I was putting "ginger" onto my shopping list app earlier and the first suggestion that popped up was "gin".... student life...

Anyone having trouble sleeping these days? I'm offering a copy of my latest lab report written for my Research Methods in Cognition class to help out with that. There is nothing that will put you to sleep faster than reading 17 pages of my results of random visual search tasks I was forced to do. Wow, look at that graph. That independent variable gave results that differed by 0.2 of a second. I bet that's significant...zzzzzzzzz.

Anyway, that's it for now. Gotta go eat some more chocolate-covered coffee beans and be productive.
