{ feeling : nostalgic
{ hearing : a simpsons episode with sideshow bob
 
I was totally wandering Last.FM’s of people I sort of knew on SecondLife. Felt kind of stalkerish! I don’t even play it anymore or most games but I sort of miss it.
 
I haven’t gotten into a game in a long time. It kind of sucks.
 
Anywhoos … The following was posted on Facebook … Posting it here because I don’t know why. It’s really weird, I felt really stressed and swamped this week but then all my schoolwork disappeared. Seriously, I don’t have much due next week and I’m not used to it.
 
Rules:
Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged (I totally didn’t have enough people.). You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.

1. The first website I ever made was an AOL WYSIWYG Titanic website fan site.
2. Once during my freshman year at high school, I went to Old Orchard Mall with a friend and we decided to loudly say hi to every new face we saw.
3. Apparently you can fit approximately 8 or 9 people in a small Cadillac car … Found that out that year, too.
4. While I have neat memories from my first year of high school … I have a lot of bad. I’d generally love to erase that year from my brain.
5. I watch Maury sometimes and most times I feel bad about it but I’m almost always amused.
6. I am the same way with infomercials and fear if I had unlimited quantities of cash, would buy many things I see.
7. I used to draw furries.
8. When told to prep an idea for my silkscreen workshop last weekend, my design involved Rick Astley lyrics.
9. I’m suddenly wondering what In-N-Out Burger tastes like.
10. I love King of the Hill … Possibly more than South Park and The Simpsons. Ok, maybe not The Simpsons but most definitely more than South Park. That show can get preachy sometimes.
11. I really don’t enjoy the company of libertarians or vegans. I guess they’re fine if they don’t try to convert me in any way.
12. I’m convinced Columbia is trying to change me into someone who “understands” art as well as someone who worships Steve Jobs and Apple products … It doesn’t seem to be working in any way, though.
13. Indoor Panda is an anagram of my first and last name and I absolutely adore it.
14. My history with pandas started with Ranma 1/2 then to a crush in grade school. I don’t really think of that guy anymore. I mostly just love pandas in general. Ranma 1/2 was a good show, too.
15. I’m pretty sure I want to own everything sitting in Chicago Architecture Foundation shop down Michigan.
16. The sneakers I usually wear are eight years old … New Balance shoes seem to last pretty long but I mostly keep them because I am too broke to buy new ones.
17. I used to have maybe 5 pairs of Converse sneakers but they all got worn down. I love them but I refuse to buy them new here because I know they are sold in the Philippines for $3 a pair.
18. I am extremely cheap (if you did not notice this by now). Sales are my friend. Fuck labels … Designers have enough money to last them four dozen lifetimes.
19. I think I swear a whole lot more than I used to because I’ve been working at IMAX for 2+ years.
20. I had a goth phase and still have most of Marilyn Manson’s CDs lying about. I used to own his book but someone (his name is Pat Nasser) lost it.
21. I really wish I had the testicles to be a hardcore tagger/graffiti person. You heard me.
22. The book “Look Me in the Eye” by John Elder Robison made me feel better about myself and makes me think I have Asperger syndrome without the super genius aspect.
23. I think know I’m a hypochondriac.
24. I’m not very social cause social situations make me nervous. I can’t function when more than two or three people are in my presence. I just sorta don’t say anything otherwise.
25. I am what people like to call a teetotaller pussy but without any religious sort of reasons. The things just don’t interest me in any way whatsoever. Any situations involving the “norm” of drinking, smoking, etc. usually end up making me feel anxious, insecure, and depressed.

What’s super weird about being in my last semester is that professors are interested in my “hardcore” hand-coding ways with HTML and CSS therefore, want to see stuff I have up so far.
 
Sadly, I don’t have that much. It’s actually kind of depressing, har. All those Diaryland and possibly even a couple Xangas? Gone. Totally gone. I basically have here and BPM. The notion of any of my professors looking at anything I have up kind of scare me.
