I Like 2009 / Random Incoherent Babbling

Allright, I know I haven’t written anything for a couple of weeks, but I’ve been out of town…life has been hectic…etc. Now I’m back to school and on a regular schedule so expect more frequent postings. That is if I can find something worth posting about. If I can’t, I’ll just post uninteresting stuff like the following:

I just wanted to say that, 6 days in, 2009 is already shaping up to be one of the best years of my life. I compiled a list of awesome things that are happening…and oh man, I’m getting excited just writing about it.

  • I’m graduating highschool.
  • I’m entering college.
  • I will be interning at the Mag Lab (probably). If you can look me in the eye and tell me that isn’t awesome, then you don’t deserve to be on this Earth. >:o
  • Los Campesinos! and Tokyo Police Club are coming to town, and I most likely have admission to Tokyo Police Club.
  • I have this awesome robe that I got for Christmas that provides me with supreme in-home comfort. Seriously it’s like a thousand baby angels padding you with terry.
  • A Japanese restaurant just got built next door to where I work, meaning SUSHI on my breaks! And I love sushi with all my soul.
  • And now my work serves COOKIES, meaning for 17 minutes of my shift, the kitchen smells like greasy cookies instead of grease! (A huge improvement, trust me…)
  • I’m done with all my college applications.
  • I don’t have a certain teacher whom I hate so very much, thus putting leaving me unsoured every day from 8:55 to 9:45.
  • Starcraft II comes out (nerdgasm!) :D
  • Obama takes over the Presidency (love him or hate him, it’s exciting)

Allright it’s almost perfect save a few things which may or may not be easily rectified in the coming weeks. Either way, for me, it’s going to be a fantastic year. If said things work out, it will be one of the best. Ever, ever.

Oh, and totally unrelated but I found this abandoned shed/house sort of thing a few minutes from my house, and I am freaking out about it. I used to longboard in that area all the time, and I always thought it was an electrical shed. Then I peeked in the window and there was a sink, some furniture, etc. I was so excited I wanted to make it into like a supreme getaway (childish, yes, but you have to admit abandoned buildings are pretty cool….). Then I noticed a bike outside, and heard some rustling within. HOBOS! I thought. That’s the only plausible explanation, I’ve already discounted zombies and serial killers. Which sucks for me, because there is nothing more that I hate than those smelly (or smelly looking, I’ve never allowed one near enough to me to actually take a whiff), change groping, whiskey drinking human beings. Ok, actually I don’t hate them. Secretly I want to befriend a hobo and have him teach me lessons about life. Like in the movies. Unfortunately my hobophobia (seewhatididthar?) gets in between me and any possible transient teachers. So here I am with an irrational fear of homeless people…and a shed that I’m quite certain has homeless people within….and I want that secret getaway dammit!

I will be monitoring the establishment closely over the next few weeks, planning my attack. For some reason, the mystery of the house/shed has become borderline obsessive. Most likely due to boredom. But then again, so was this blog, and things haven’t turned out too bad.

Yet.

  1. Well where all did you apply? I waited til after MIT decisions to do other apps, but still managed a fat 11 apps (besides MIT and UF).

    • Um, Stanford, Berkeley, GT, UF, Cornell, Duke, Carnegie Mellon, umm yea that’s it. But I put a lot of care into each one.

  2. kyle!! I want in on this abandoned shed business, i have an extra TV to put in it and a high powered airsoft/BB/Dart/paintball gun in case there are any of those wily hobos hanging around.
