Sanity Gauntlet

It’s Friday, boys and girls. I’ve had my scone, and I’m mostly through my venti iced coffee. I’ve got enough caffeine in me to fuel Oasis and their entire touring entourage on a four-day bender.

I’m not even sure what that means.

Scored a 96 on my social psych mid-term last night. Not everyone had taken the test when I last checked, but my grade was by far the highest. The average, in fact, was barely over a 70.

It was a hard test too, a thorough evaluation of how we’ve absorbed and grasped the material. I crammed seriously for a couple days. But again, something about this prof and I… I just have a good, intuitive grasp of the stuff she wants us to know. I’m not always so fortunate in a class, believe me.

(My regular reader will remember the stress stats class caused me...)

I was yelling at my radio again this morning. It went a little something like this:

“What the #$%^ is WRONG with you? I never, EVER want to hear Supertramp again IN MY LIFE, do you understand me?”

It didn’t seem to care.

I used to like them, but we parted ways after a “lost weekend” in Austin that I spent drinking screwdrivers from sunup ‘til, uh, nearly sunup again.

Supertramp now qualify as what ya might call a “trigger.” That is, they take me right back to that hazy time, and I don’t appreciate it.

THEBOY is supposed to have his first sleepover tonight. He’s been invited to crash at Sterling’s house. Curious to see how it goes. Everywhere else he’s gone he’s been a pretty game little sleeper. But then again, Mom and/or Dad were always a room away from him at most.

I actually saw my social psych prof at a restaurant in Ft. Worth yesterday. I’ve met her only once since it’s an online class. Mostly I know her face because of her photo on the website. So I opted not to suddenly approach her and say, basically, “You don’t recognize me, but I recognize YOU…”

Holy crap, Launch is playing “Thank God I’m a Country Boy” by someone called.. Hampton the Hampster. This is a special brand of madness. I lasted 59 seconds through that sanity gauntlet.

Work work work… Friiiiiiday!
