Primordial Chaos

Public Enemy. I'm telling you, I really do pull from all sorts of music.

So my Lobos are currently UNDEFEATED, 5-0. Considering my previous tirades about them being a bunch of pups, they're doing well. So I don't have to hide my head in shame for now. :P Tar Heels are 5-1, so they're doing well too. I totally lost a bet that UNM would lose a game before the Heels, that's what I get for dissing my home team. Oh well, still fun as hell to get all riled up. :) I think my new most commonly said phrase is "that was some bullshit". I make sure to wear my appropriate colored shorts when either one has a game. Red for Lobos, baby blue, oh excuse me Carolina blue (same shit) for the Heels. However, if both have a game the same day, Lobos come first.

To kill time between classes, me and some of my friends get together and study, which invariably winds up in completely off topic conversation. Twice in the past week I've been the off topic.

One of my friends is completely fascinated by statistics. In the conversation I mentioned how much of a rarity I am considering the combination of my traits and features, and jokingly said statistically I shouldn't exist. D took that as a fucking challenge to prove me right or wrong, so I gave him a list of basic features, skin color, eye color, sex, autism, left handed and so on, only traits I was born with, and it was a LONG list. After 30 minutes of research, basically we discovered you are 1000 times, yes A THOUSAND, more likely to win the lottery than there is for me to exist. In fact, based on the current world population, statistically there shouldn't even be one of me. That was wild. Talk about being a sui generis.

The second incident (which actually came first but whatever) we wound up discussing my most annoying habits, quirks, or traits. Out of the 5 of us, no one found the same thing annoying about me. I said my worst habit is drinking milk out of the jug especially during flu season. My friend JD said it was my weird pencil rituals. It aggravates him to no end, he can't stand it. He said that since I was rocking a new look, new car, new phone, new outlook, new philosophy and new attitude, I might as well change some other stuff too.

I'm not sure why I agreed to this, but he and I went to the bookstore to try and find me a mechanical pencil so I could be a little more "normal". That and so JD wouldn't want to smack me in class when I threw away pencils. I picked out the ones I liked on looks, then went through all of those and was looking for feel. I'm left handed and hold my pencil a certain way as not to drag my hand and smear what I write, so comfort is important. We finally narrowed it down to one, and JD handed me a notebook. Told me to get writing, and write a lot, so I would "adjust" to said pencil. At first, I REALLY hated not using my pencils. I'm really weird about certain things changing, can't help it. After about 3 days though, I kinda liked my new pencil, and now I use my mechanical pencil for EVERYTHING and don't feel too antsy (still a little though) about taking a test with a pencil I've used to write in my notebooks and use for everyday homework. And that is my introduction to the 21st century. :P You can teach an autistic dog new tricks.

My brother leaves Friday, and I'm kinda bummed out. We've been having a blast sitting around eating, playing video games, and acting stupid. I'm going to miss him, but he'll be back around December 19th. Yay!

Oh shit! I just realized I enroll in classes the 30th and I haven't figured out my schedule! Guess I know what I'll be doing over the holiday...

At the end of this semester, my adventure gets really exciting and interesting. I'm excited but also scared...but there's nothing that can come my way I can't handle! (I think.)
