I’m 25 today. Hooray. I’m sort of indifferent about it. Lots of birthday spam on my Facebook wall. You’ll have that, I suppose.
My bro’s surgery went well, and they say he’ll recover and be able to see pretty much just as well as before. Pretty awesome.
I finally got fed up with the sluggish behavior of Rails apps on Textdrive, so I switched to WordPress. So far it seems way more reliable.
We lost our ultimate game on Thursday, so that’s it for our season. Pretty good season overall, though. The team we lost to was pretty organized and experienced, but at least we got to play against a team that didn’t suck. The rest of our games weren’t very challenging.
I got around to doing my taxes this morning, but then I found out they’re not due until Tuesday. So I want to ask my accountant co-worker about some stuff first before I send them in.
Chilly, wet frisbee later. Pewp.

My brother John was putting siding on a house at work yesterday, and some metal flew into his left eye. He has to have surgery today, but they say that he should be able to see fine afterwards. Eye injuries are really scary. I’m thinking about him today.
I finished First Meetings yesterday, which means I’ve read the entire Ender’s Game series now. So now I’m thinking about reading all the Harry Potter books again, which hopefully will take me until the seventh book comes out in July. =D But there are certainly other books that I need to read, so I might just re-read book 6 just before 7 comes out. We’ll see.
Vanderbilt intramural ultimate frisbee playoffs tonight. Wee!

This past weekend I went home to see my family. We smoked hookah on the porch together. That ruled.
We played our 4th and last game of the Vanderbilt intramural ultimate frisbee season last night. We finished undefeated, hooray. Playoffs next week.
Lately my job hasn’t been too fulfilling. I’ve got 65% of my time funded by projects that aren’t very interesting. The 35% I have left isn’t really enough to get much done on the project that I care about, and I don’t even care about that as much as I used to. One project involves me making these boringly routine Rails apps. But it pays the bills, I suppose.
It turns out that I’m going to RailsConf after all. Some spots opened up this week, and I registered.
Also, I found out that we have another month before we have to be out of the house. So that relieves some of the stress on all of us to get things together.
Nate and Matt are gone for the weekend, so I’m home alone for the most part. Chubbs and Bud are hardly ever home, and when they are they just stay upstairs most of the time. So I’ll be catching up on some anime and other shows.
Feeling a bit down today.

I talked to my brother Jake yesterday. He’s been in Hawaii working his ass off on a cruise ship for 5 months, and he’ll be coming home in a few days. Sweet.
Sometimes I worry about how people might view me. I guess it’s the whole “feeling hurt when I feel misunderstood” thing. Most of the pictures of me on Facebook are of me drinking or flipping off the camera or acting stupid. Yeah, I do that, and it’s fun, but someone I don’t know might look at those and get the wrong idea. For example, Stuffy’s girlfriend Leah saw pictures of me, and when she met me she didn’t know what to do because she wasn’t expecting me to be introverted. Whenever I start thinking about that I remind myself that people who know me, know me, and that’s enough. I’m not gonna stop acting crazy from time to time just to keep a good “image”, mainly because I think if I did I would explode from being socially and emotionally cooped up so much.
I don’t feel like showering today. Shouldn’t we already have automated crap like the Jetson’s have? When I get up I just want to stand on a conveyor belt and have robots clean me. Bleh.

So I left a house full of Matt’s relatives this morning, and today I came back to another house full of Matt’s relatives. Eight or nine of Matt’s cousins and their friends are staying with us in Nashville on their way to see a bowl game in Memphis tomorrow. His aunt is Italian and in the process of cooking a huge spaghetti dinner right now.
I need some privacy and time alone. As much as I get along with everyone, I’ve been around big groups of people coming up on like 5 days in a row. And it looks like it’ll be that way until New Year’s day. After the Plunketts leave, I’ll be going to hang out with Stuffy for New Year’s. I mean, I want to see everyone, but let’s just say I’ll be glad when things go back to normal.
