Scatterbrained Pre-Trip Journal

First, starting tommorrow (2/28/09) I will be on Spring Break, and will probably not have any internet access until Friday. I wanted to point this out so that those who don't know won't feel ignored by me. I'm off to Florida for the first time in ages...

I figured out the problem with my camera- the memory card wasn't securely in place... oof. The stupidity BURNS.

Wow... I know I have more to say than that. My short-term memory's dead at the moment since I didn't get adequate sleep or nutrition during the past week. THAT'S MY EXCUSE AND I'M STICKING TO IT.

And now, for reading or skipping entirely, I have yet again stolen a survey thing from beatlesfan931.
It's essentially: "...25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you." It's vague, so this is going to be very random, filled with lots of not really important things. And bear in mind I might delete these later so the journal takes up less space.

1. In 6th grade, I invented a wannabe Pokemon game called "Animal War". It was played with paper info sheets for the monsters & dice, and people actually thought it was fun.

2. My favorite search engine when I first started using the internet was Metacrawler. I'm not sure why...

3. I have New Mexico vacation guides from 1993, 2001, and 2006.

4. One morning I woke up and there was a bird in my room.

5. One night there was a snake in the doorway of my room.

6. I've driven four vehicles: 2 cars, 1 truck, 1 camper van.

7. I made an Itakaro armband thing... out of part of a sock. FAIL FAIL FAIL

8. It gets so hot upstairs in our house during the summer, plastic things sometimes get stuck to each other, and a wax sculpture I have melted...

9. Two-thirds of the floorspace in my room is covered with junk I need to put away.

10. There's a non-functional fireplace in my room. Little bits of concrete and dirt occasionally fall down and give me a mess to periodically clean up.

11. I have four car model kits, only one of which is vaguely near completion.

12. I used to read manga all the time... and now probably read them at the rate of maybe one a year.

13. My fave newspaper comics are 'Rose is Rose' and 'Calvin & Hobbes'.

14. The doornob on the inside of my closet likes to fall off every now and then, landing loudly.

15. The first series I ever otaku'd over was Star Trek. It still makes me giddy. Most recent Star Trek series ("Enterprise") NOT INCLUDED.

16. Lurked the dA chat rooms for the first time ever yesterday. I didn't leave with a good impression of the place...

17. My crappy film camera still has a roll of film in it that I shot part of in 2002...

I'm getting up collossally early tommorrow morning so I've got to leave this here for now and get to sleep. Maybe I'll finish the 25 later, I dunno. This feels like a very incomplete journal but I didn't have a lot of time for it today.

Awesomesauce:
