Its 8 am.
I'm not awake yet.
Give me a few minutes...
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Alright, slightly more awake now. Its 8:19 now. I don't think the sun is up; it wasn't at 7:30 when I woke up, but maybe that was just me being unobservant as I scrabbled for the tea pot. I sometimes wonder if I am a little bit of a hypocrite; I say I don't need caffeine, but if I didn't drink tea I wouldn't be able to get anywhere during the day. I need at least 3 cups a day to function. I can manage on one, of course, but that's pushing it a little.
Speaking of hypocracy, what is it about the facelessness of the interwebs that allows for people to be... I don't know, assholes? My apologies for the language, but its the most succinct way to describe them. From a psychology perspective, its amazing. Its a bit like the Milgram experiments, in which people will hurt others so long as someone else is in a position of authority. It happened in Nazi Germany, and probably is the concept that most military structure is based off of, but it seems to be acceptable on the internet too. Someone bothers you, you can rage and scream at them all you want and then call them a hypocrite when they pwn you. It amuses me, it scares me... Maybe its something to study later on in my degree?
We'll have to see about that.

LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Its such a fun thing to watch hockey games and have our goalies' name shouted. He's great. He's amazing. He's LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I'm debating, once more, what I should do with myself. My history of psych professor was asking me today if I wanted to continue in psychology. I said I didn't know. Maybe I should cultivate some more rapport there... If I change my mind and decide to do a masters, maybe she'd be willing to help me out?
I have decided that one thing I will never ever pursue as a career: political science. Its practically a requirement to be a dick. Pomposity and arrogance + generally being a dick = political science. I think its because they are compensating for not having any science.

Who did you want to be when you grew up?
So, I was told I was dum for having a livejournal blog. I have this one here now. I heart you, person who told me I was dum.
For me, my earliest memory of wanting to be someone stems from the show "Popular Mechanics for Kids." Yeah, I watched it. The girl in it only every got to do the frivolous stuff. I wanted to be her so I could show the boys how it should really be done. Then, for the longest time I didn't have an "idol." I was too busy trying to adapt to a new country and stuff. When it settled down a bit, I wanted to be Captain Dr. Sam Carter from "Stargate". That held true for the longest time, followed swiftly by Willow from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," and later "Winnifred" from Angel.
I've always had a thing for the smart girls as my role models, apparently. Fred kicked butt when she became Illyria too, so I guess I had a thing for the strong gals. It makes me wonder if I'm ever going to be able to live up to that expectation... Hurm...
So, off the introspection for a little while and moving on to something sillier:
I'm going to see Eddie Izzard live in May.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Everytime I think about it all I can think of is "I'm covered in bees!" or "I am an evil giraffe."
I am so excited.
