IDK, man. 'Top Gear' ftw!

Moving is way too stressful. And I'm not even actually moving yet!

Monday is going to suck big time... I'm driving myself down to RVA in the morning to pack up everything I own. Everything. My room will be filled with boxes and furniture I can't disassemble. I'm hoping to get a good 9-10 hours down there working. I also need to pay my last month of rent, sign the new lease, and a couple other random and annoying things. You have no idea how happy I am to finally be 'moving out' of that place, even if I won't actually be moving till the end of the month. I'm way too excited for the new place.

Which, by the way, will have a sofa as of tomorrow. Horray furniture!

In other news, Thursday was epically busy. I got up around 7 to do a major bike ride with Yasha. We rode the NCR Trail from Paper Mill to Monkton, 13 miles total. I learned that my bike, being a mountain bike, isn't really meant to be sat upon for such long periods over such flat terrain. My butt still hurts.

That night was also The Inventory From Hell. Pro: free pizza. Con: everything else. I drank 2 bottles of delicious matè to stay awake. I didn't actually count as much as I was expecting, but it was still long and tedious and boring and I hope I never have to do it again. The eggplant on my pizza was pretty good though, for my first time eating it.

Random: I was basically a vegetarian on Thursday. I had a Poptart, a vegan turkey club sandwich, a toasted PBJ, and a slice of vegan pizza. The tempeh was surprisingly good, if incredibly overpowering on that sandwich. I don't want to think about what the 'turkey' was. Tofu just freaks me out.

Also, I spent 5 hours today checking and unpacking 51 boxes of products from UNFI. While suffering from cramps. But then I had a bison burger for dinner, the first burger of any kind I've had in years. Still bland, but slightly better than regular ground beef. I just love seafood too much, I guess.

I think I might have mild depression. Maybe. According to WebMD, I have some of the symptoms. For some reason the prospect doesn't bother me though. Then again, I'm not exactly dissatisfied with my existence, nor do I want to physically harm myself. I'm just terribly lazy, not very hungry, and apathetic towards nearly everything. Whatevs.

Also, more random: I came out, I guess, to Yasha a week or so ago. It just sorta came up, like, "So, what exactly are you, if you don't mind my asking?" "Oh, asexual." Yeah. Basically. And then on the bike ride we had a short conversation about me having sex and proceeding to tell him about it, while I'm thinking, 'Yeah, right, like that'll happen.' I don't even like putting in tampons, why would I be willing to have something else up there?

I need to update more often, or else every time I do I just end up spewing out tons and tons of random where one paragraph is almost never linked to the previous one. Seriously.


45 more minutes. Is it lame that I know how old America and Canada are? [234 and 143] Fucking Hetalia....

meteors

i'm currently sitting on the roof.

it's so nice out!

i'm waiting for the perseoid meteor shower. it's apparently been visible on and off since july, but tonight is the peak. so i'm outside. waiting.

and my internet just went out, but that's okay cuz it doesn't affect current pages. so i'll just have to wait to post this when it comes back.

--

there's lightning in the east and it smells like rain. i hope it doesn't start to pour while i'm out here...

no thunder yet, so i don't think it's very close.

--

i'm not sure if i'll be able to see any...

there's so many clouds out tonight. on a clear night i can see a fair number of stars, but tonight i can only see a few of the brightest.

it looks like there's a veil over the sky, thicker in some places than others.

--

i think i might actually go to bed soon. it doesn't look like i'll be able to see the meteors because of the clouds, and i'm awfully sleepy.

today we went to uncle ba's memorial service. he passed away friday morning, but i'm not sure what exactly was the cause. i know he was recovering from cancer, but then he broke his hip and was moved to a baltimore hospital. poppop didn't think he'd last very long there, he wasn't doing too well. but we went a couple days after being moved.

it's sad, and i know dad is still torn up about it. i think that might be partly why he's still awake right now. which is why i couldn't sneak out of the house and drive to soldiers delight for a [hopefully] better view. though at that point i wasn't counding on the clouds, so i'm not sure how much better that would have been.

--

the moon looks like it's glowing. it's a waning gibbous tonight, and on the round side i can see the color spectrum - or i could before it went behind some thick clouds... it was really pretty.

there's a streetlight across the street that intermittently turns on and off. right now it's dark. it really is nice out. i think i want to spend some more nights outside like this. i hope it's not too horrible in rva at night. though, then i'd be sitting on our little deck, instead of the roof, since i've got the basement room and we can't really get to our roof by simply removing a window screen. not that the land-people would like us venturing onto the roof...
