Waking up to rave music coming through the wall is an interesting way to start the day.

I really don't know my next-door neighbor Ed all that well. But I do know that he got a brand new stereo for Christmas. And that he has decidedly odd taste in music. And that he spends all night playing Counterstrike. If I decide to go to bed early, I fall asleep to the sound of machine guns, and if I sleep in, I wake up to a pulsing techno beat. Now, sometimes Ed listens to quality alternative music, and I'm happy to listen, but more often than not, it's techno. Not that I have anything specifically against that sort of music, but somehow, a techno remix of the score from Titanic is a bit much in the morning. And the other day, he played nothing but syrupy pop ballads all morning. By the time he got to Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men singing "One Sweet Day," I was rummaging around in my closet, hoping that the previous occupant of my room had left a sledgehammer behind. Gah.

~*~*~*~*~

So last night was ... weird. I was happy at 9 when I was watching the play, bloody miserable at 10:30 when I got back from it, and by midnight, I was happy again. Not just happy ...almost euphoric. At 12, I was spinning around in circles in my room, having skipped my bitter-and-resentful song (currently "In the End" by Linkin Park) in favour of my happy-happy song (currently "The Rain" by Garrity -- something about the way the guy sings "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid" just makes me feel ... like throwing my head back and my arms up, and being all dramatically joyful). So the bad mood fled, back to the mysterious void from whence it came. The only problem was that I was, at that point, overstimulated and therefore unable to go to bed and sleep.

Sometimes I wonder if there isn't something wrong with me. : )

~*~*~*~*~

So now the violent mood swings are over, and I'm feeling like my dry, sarcastic self again. I was talking to Pash on msn messenger just now, and it suddenly stopped sending my messages. So, sorry Pash, I swear I'm not ignoring you.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a big fat syntax assignment to put off doing. Adios!

Quiz Result of the Day: My Inner Dragon

A BLUE Dragon Lies Beneath!

I took the Inner Dragon online quiz and found out I am a Blue Dragon on the inside. If there ever was a draconic example of a supple attitude, my Inner Dragon is it. Blues are the Water Elemental dragon - typified by their Steam breath weapon. Pretty creative, huh? It goes right along with my Inner Dragon's tendency to maim, but not destroy. Much like my native oceans and rivers will deform the rock over time, eventually wearing it away to nothing.

Humans shouldn't make the mistake of thinking I'm weak, however. After all I'm a good 30 feet in length and have a penchant for materializing out of any body of water, no matter how small. I also enjoy communicating with aquatic life-forms, hunting in totally inhospitable terrain (i.e. 3000 feet below the waves), and using my fluid nature to my advantage. My enemies probably won't even see me approach in the first place. My favorable attributes are the sunset, Autumn, water, compassion, intuition, and calmness. Naturally, I pity the fool who'd try and prove that calmness part, he'd probably wind up being scalded. *small grin*

Muahahahahaha....
