4:56 p.m.

frustration seems to enjoy pulsing through my veins, you see. i once had a full functioning printer, one that i took quite a bit of pride in, one that got me through my sophomore year of wretched osg printing, one that spat out papers with utmost alacrity and quality. it was a joyous change from my old but faithful manual feed printer that spewed out paper after paper of uneven margins. however, lately it has begun to turn on me. me! of all people! i gave it my best; im the one who set it up with my bare hands, and it turns on me. i just want to print out a simple cd cover for my beautiful joshua and matt cd but of course, i can’t. picture after distorted picture of ridiculing deformations are all that im left with as i sit here, muted with sorrow.

and the other day, the history making day when i finally decided to take action on my distant and faint desire to start my physics homework, i am greeted with (dun dun dun) a near-death experience!! we were sitting, minding our business, diligently and studiously poring over physics books, when we stumbled over a roadblock: the meaning of the word parallelepiped. at this point, our unassailable laziness and appetite takes over as we quickly decide to take a break. well thank goodness for procrastination. as we change locations and eat chocolate, i realize that (gasp!) my beloved craisins are back with our books. so as i am hurriedly making my way back down to the kitchen, i witness the hanging lamp, the lamp that is directly above our physics work station, fall and shatter. now, thank goodness im not so quick a walker/jogger and am a really slow person in general, because my craisins were right beneath this lamp and i could have definitely been between the glass lamp and the table that it shattered on, which would not have been a pretty sight. at first i was thinking ‘hmm im really clumsy did i knock it over?’ and then i look at my feet, and look at the lamp, or what was left of it, and realize im a good distance away from it, and get very scared, and start thinking about who i could have pissed off this week. so we regroup, regather our physics books from beneath the rubble, take a couple of pictures of the hardships we go through for physics, and resume. now, if we hadn’t taken that break we could have died. and everyone says indolence is a bad thing.

but yes, the craisins were worth it. and if you could have seen my face when i was told that they would have to be thrown away because of possible glass bits in them, you would have seen the epitome of utmost disappointment. and then you would have seen a look of machiavellian glee as i stealthily pilfered them back.
