Something that should have been posted...

I meant to write this a few days ago, but I was never in a really rambling mood until right now. I guess I'm sort of sleepy, but not tired enough to actually try to go to bed. And I can't think of anything entertaining to think about before I go to bed anyway... I've always got to have something interesting to think about, or else I just lay there bored and can't get to sleep. But... anyway, that's sort of irrelevant right now...

While doing some random thinking, I realize what I really (I'll add a "sort of" here, because with me I'm never certain of anything) want to do in the future. Of course, as always, this involves getting my doctorat and such, but that's half the fun. I've realized why I don't see other people like me in the real world... and that's because they're not in the real world... they've locked themselves up in their ivory towers and are teaching cynical and apathetic 18-22 year olds obscure subjects. What else would I do? You can't be as eccentric as I'd like to be in many places other than a university, and I'd never have to deal with this "real world" that everone's so concerned about. And I'd get to do all sorts of interesting reasearch, or at the worst get into the sort of field where'd I'd get to sit around and make up stories based on small amounts of evidence (like.. history, anthropology.. english). What better way to spend my life? Even though becoming a professor is tough work... I could always... see to it that some of my superiors were... transferred to another university. Because of some odd accident involving their... taxes or something. And if I don't get to be a professor I'll have to... do something that involves wearing some sort of strange uniform. Not like, a police officer or something, but a Ninja. Darnit, I want a good excuse to dress strangely all the time! I don't know why, either. Actually, ideally, I'd be some sort of professor that always taught in her lab coat... or her ninja outfit, or... knickers. I mean, really... what more could you want from life? The best part would be that the students would just accept it. They can complain about how weird their professor is, but it's expected, and there's nothing to be done about it. Definitely the life for me. I'm still keeping astronaut and spy in the top few though. Right now, I think my list is 1) Spy (a technical impossibility, unless we suddenly find an enemy where tallish skinny blonde girls would fit in) 2) Professor 3) Anonymous Crime Fighter/Do-Gooder/Evil Genius... maybe all three, to keep myself in business.... 4) Astronaut/Mission Control/NASA Employee of some sort that is not a janitor 5) Some other sort of uselessly smart profession

Good, see... now I have a goal! Now, to decide what I need to do with my astonomically expensive education to get there. Gosh, I love having goals that make me sound like I'm 8 1/2 or something! Yes! Keeping these until I'm almost 19, and I plan on continuing. Heck, if someone on my floor can be working for the CIA, why can't I be a spy? I mean... I sure with Dubyah around we could find a good reason to need to spy on Canada or something... and I could pull of Canadian easily. British with a bit of work on the accent.. We don't like the French anymore, I could probably adjust to that... That's pretty much my limit though... Mwahahaha.

Now, to find myself a nice pale dorky lanky boy with long hair and glasses and an uncanny knowledge of pretty much everything, a nice house someplace warm and sunny, preferably by water, and I'm all set.

Nothing in this world will ever ruin my childlike-attitude towards it! Nya! I thumb my nose at people with "serious" goals in life!

La la la BOREDOM

Yeah... after this I am absolutely going to sleep... but really... Just wandering around LJ looking at random journals, and came across this. They got some interesting things, so I'm trying it, too.

"Post anything that you want (in comments), and post it anonymously. Anything. a story, a secret, a confession, a fear, a love -- anything. be sure to post anonymously and honestly. post twice if you'd like. then, put this in your LJ to see what your friends (and perhaps others who you don't even realize read your LJ) have to say."

Snooow, and Other Common Themes

So, I will be allowed to pull my tiny scrap of paper out of my work shoes, I'll tell you all about my day. I got up this morning, laid in bed for a bit, got up again, sat around on the couch, went to work at 11. I should've brought a book to work, as it was insanely slow. Then again, my managers were watching me like vultures today... it was sort of disturbing. Like I was being observed for some sort of experiment. For some reason (probably because it was sloooow) we had no projectionists, so the managers were up and down the stairs all day, doing a rather mundane job of maintaining the films... I had to call upstairs at least five times to fix things people kept coming out and complaining about... I don't know if it was because they were being incompetant, or because we had unusually willing-to-complain customers today. Could possibly be the latter, but at least they were nicer today. Though, I did have one unusual guy. This is the second one in a month like this... it was a lot like the guy at my dorm that followed me upstairs, only this time the guy said something like "I don't want to scare you or anything, but you have a really nice body. Wha? You look like you've seen a ghost! I mean, if I was a white dude I'd be like 'Daaang, c'mere baby!'" The fact that I was in a very public place at the time made it a heck of a lot less scary, though. And at least he didn't try to give me his phone number. See, tact. At least this freaky guy had tact. Take a lesson from that, future freaker-outers. Woo.

Then I got home at six and ate, then I sat around online for a bit, and watched TV (aaah, nice relaxing things). There really isn't a whole lot interesting on TV anymore though... I mean, even less than there was before I left. Or maybe my schedule's just off now and I don't know when to catch my favourite shows. Apparently Stargate's gone down a bit since my favourite character sort-of died (Well.. physically died and then turned into some light being and... uhh, if you haven't watched the show, don't bother trying to figure it out) before I left for college. Why do they always have to get rid of the cool ones? Gosh-darn... Yeah... maybe it's just me and my fascination with the dorky ones.

I'm torn between devoting my time to explaining myself to someone from school, and just sitting here and rambling more. This wouldn't be a question at all, except I can't really come up with anything else to ramble about. I'm trying to stay up a bit later tonight just because I have to be up until at least 2 tomorrow because of LoTR. Ah, I can't wait to see how they finish it off. Even though it wasn't my favourite of the books (Two Towers woo!), it ought to be the best of the movies in terms of acting and such since... well, everyone's been playing their characters for so long.. and they filmed it all at once, so it can't sell out to all kinds of evilness like the Star Wars sequels! Weee!

I think I'll just wander the internet aimlessly for a bit, and see what I come across. Being in an über-geeky (finally figured out how to do my precious umlats on this keyboard!) mood, I think I'm going to come up with some sort of Xenogears theme for my computer, and use it to.. umm... confuse people at college. Because I like to do that. After I spend the first half of the quarter flaunting my beautiful *POKE* background.
