*rubs eyes, yawns* eeeeee remind me that staying up 'til 6.30am makes me sleepy the next day. *giggles*
But things over in the Zoo were far too yuuuummy gheeeeeee..
U2 and the Beatles (circa 1964) are currently mudwrestling for the title of the greatest band ever. ^_________^
(I personally wish they'd said more about Mackie pouncing Ewan way back whenever, but.. *gheehehe*)

So, lessee... classes, yeah, haven't been too bad.. angst levels about lately have been growing a bit tiresome, really, we've all had *enough* by now thankyoueverymuch *picks up angst and flings it waaaaaay out of the Bubble and then slams the window shut*... I'm alright, I just had random angst for no reason two nights running, which was annoying but went away, but when my friends are angsty I'm angsty cos I worry about them and I wish I could help...
But yeah.
Night before last, I went out for a short bikeride about 10, came back, and got Britty, we went for an angst-walk... and as we went through town, we ran into Dionysos, who decided to join us. *smiles* So that was nice... (only for what every moronic reason...I still can never think of a thing to say around him. I really don't know why and it's such a pain in the arse cos I'd *like* to hang out with him more, I really like him as a person, and the conversations I've actually managed to have with him have been great.....) Walked up through town, avoided drunk people, walked around Ring Road and tried to find Mars up in the sky, talked some (well, rather, mostly Dionys and Britty talked..I did more listening, tho I did make a few points when Dionys and Britty were debating about..oh goodness, I can't even think of what it was..something about life not mattering or the like, I think)...
Last night, Britt and Haruna and I went out to the Chinese buffet in town - cos HARUNA GOT A PART IN "OUR TOWN" YAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!! *bounces*! and cos it's our first weekend back here. and cos we needed to get Britty AWAY from where people could reach her and spread angst. and just cos. *g* So that was good..well, 'cept for me making an arse outta myself AGAIN.. >_< ..but c'mon, it's not *my* fault I don't know how to eat stuffed scallop! I'm uncultured, I was just never exposed much to much foreign food and that sort of thing! bleh. (*giggles* really, it wasn't so bad, I just had to ask what I was supposed to do with it, and Haruna told me to scoop out the filling-stuff, which I did, then I hit the meat, and she's like ok now use a fork and get it out, slide it up under the top, and I made a mess of it but kinda managed...but then they made fun of me the whooole rest of the night cos they're evil. :p )
Had a bit to wait for the bus, so we went into the Dollar Store cos it's awesome, I got nail polish and zebra cakes and wd-40 and stuff.. *giggles* (On the bus, Britt asked if she could borrow my wd-40, I was like, whyyyyy, and she's like cos if you light it, you can make a flame-thrower--- I'm like holy shit dude NO! ..the brakes on my bike squeak, *that's* what you use the stuff for--! *laughs*)
Came back, talked to Megs awhile, was still over-full of Chinese food, went out for a bikeride, around then off the campus, discovered that *checks her handy map cos she's forgotten* Matteson Street is a very pretty little road, even by night... it's just outside the fringe of the campus off of Temple, with a few nice houses tucked back amidst nice wild woods and things... there's a bridge that crosses over the creek that runs all through and around this area... the street was lit enough that I could see and be seen, but the streetlights there like everywhere here are the warm soft golden ones... couldn't see any distance at all into the woods to either side, just the dim golden-green leaves and vines and things at the fringes [damn it's frustrating to never be able to use the word "edge" now and again..*giggles*]... but though they were dark, they weren't at all quiet, fields full of crickets and trees full of--- I don't know what they are, to be honest. They make kind of a scratchy sort of noise, I've no idea..... as I crossed the small bridge, I looked down at the creek below, the water dark, only a few patches lit here and there..and there's something deliciously scary about moving water at night like that.... there was a streetlight back near the trees and growth and vines had grown up around it, a grape vine dangling down by the light..(and somehow that was the most beautiful thing I'd seen all night).. a few of the houses had very nicely gardened lawns, gently lit here and there... one had a small weeping tree (a cherry or something that size), with an American flag hanging vertically down it, a soft spotlight on it from beneath, small yellow and a few red and white Christmas lights scattered in the branches just above it..and usually that sort of thing just looks so..I don't know, a little tacky obvious lame I don't know, I can't find the word for what I mean, but this...this was really pretty.
I reached an intersection, noting that it was Chestnut I'd hit again, and rode in a large circle deciding where to go next, I'd only been out for maybe half an hour at most (it takes me maybe fifteen minutes to ride completely around the extremities of the campus, including Ring Road)... and then as I was riding back along Matteson, suddenly there was TRAFFIC. Like, ten, fifteen, cars, all in a few minutes!
And cars while I'm riding...particularly at night...just REALLY pisses me off, it's not that I fear being hit (though occasionally Thursday and Friday nights I do), it's more that.. I'm not entirely sure, but it's the interupption I guess, it tears me out of the world and mind that I've fallen into...headlights blinding both literally and mentally....
Was back by 11, talked to Megs 'til about 6am (yeaaaahhh slash-night ^_^), then Britty IMed me, she was up with a friend who needed her on the phone.. so I read some more of the Zoo and stayed up with her awhile...then stayed up a little more, until around 6.30, yeah, and it was getting light so I went to bed. *g*
Finally got up about an hour ago, I oughta make a Paper Factory run in not too long, but I dunno yet. sleepy.

<3 Placebo... and <3 super-slashy Placebo gheeeeee ^___~
