Logged into EQ2 and found out they lifted item restrictions for free players. No more worthless loot! Thanks, SOE.

My God, I have finally invested enough effort into shaving that I can do it quickly and well at the same time.

I still have a five'o'clock shadow as soon as I'm finished, but at least I can make it clean in ten minutes total without spilling any blood.

Masterwork Mod's Sound option finally works for me! I can now listen to the sweet, sweet theme music once more!

A walk in a thunderstorm, followed by a hot shower, and now a mug of hot cocoa as I sit in a sleeping bag trying to decide whether or not this continent needs megaflora. The answer, obviously, is "Yes", but more importantly I am so damn relaxed right now.

Beginning of the Week: A girl I knew from German class and my bus talked to me during the bus ride. A short conversation, towards the end of the ride, but still.
Rest of the Week: She sat and talked with me for the whole time we were both on the bus.

That doesn't seem like much, but I'm used* to being alone in most situations. It was pretty nice she talked to me, and it was awesome she did for the rest of the week.


Also, I seem to be very good at making people laugh. Even some of my teachers (the fun ones). Even when I was standing up in class, literally yelling across the room to the teacher about why I shouldn't have to do an assignment --in a good-natured way, of course. If she hadn't been laughing, I almost certainly would have been written up (like my friend was, when he was joking around).
Best part is: I don't even have to try. I say the first thing to pop into my head, and people'll find it amusing. I put absolutely no forethought into my jokes/sarcasm, and it's evidently hilarious.
I've known this for a year or two, but it makes me happy when I make others laugh. Reminds me I'm not completely socially fucked.

Well it seems we have a joker on our hands.

But do hone your skills, you don't what to say the first funny thing every time, trust me on that, it can lead to awkward situations

Also happy of the day, listening to the SimCity 4 soundtrack, relaxing the shit out of myself right now.

Math. Math made me happy today.

Why? Well, math is awesome, first of all. More importantly, I'm in the greatest math class I've ever taken, Exploring Knots and Surfaces.

Spoiler: The textbook's description on Amazon (click to show/hide)

In most mathematics textbooks, the most exciting part of mathematics--the process of invention and discovery--is completely hidden from the reader. The aim of Knots and Surfaces is to change all that. By means of a series of carefully selected tasks, this book leads readers to discover some real mathematics. There are no formulas to memorize; no procedures to follow. The book is a guide: its job is to start you in the right direction and to bring you back if you stray too far. Discovery is left to you.
Suitable for a one-semester course at the beginning undergraduate level, there are no prerequisites for understanding the text. Any college student interested in discovering the beauty of mathematics will enjoy a course taught from this book. The book has also been used successfully with nonscience students who want to fulfill a science requirement.

That alone makes me happy. Further, I just did something I haven't done before. I spent most of three or four hours of free time working vigorously on a math problem. I have ten-ish pages of notes on one homework problem that was assigned three weeks ago, has yet to be solved in class, and I barely made any headway. Yes, I'm happy that I haven't solved something, because it's so DAMN INTERESTING

For the interested, the problem is to devise a way to determine the number of spanning trees of an arbitrary graph. I want to figure it out on my own, though.

That textbook reminds me of Paul Lockhart.

Afghanistan is united in a quest for dairy products - finally something worth not fighting for!

Hasn't yet. I am incredibly difficult to take seriously; I pretty much talk like "Wodney the Wat" and Elmer Fudd's love-child. I'm also incapable of closing my mouth, so I look like I'm laughing all the time (that is, incapable in both figurative and literal interpretations).
I just am funny, in basically every connotation of the word (including especially the negative ones). I don't mind though: having a unique voice means people are more likely to listen to it, in most cases.

Being drunk makes me happy! (Which might be a bad thing in and of isteld itself)

We do all of that shit. At least I do something right, or better than most of the rest of the world.

Today, fans brought more BBQ and booze to the office. Fun times.

Just got back from my honeymoon.

8 nights in a secluded cabin in the woods. Strangely, no mysterious fogs rolled in nor murders occurred, like one would think in a secluded cabin in the woods.

Welcome back! Glad to hear that your time was spent fog-and-murder-less.
