Primordial Chaos

Lobos won last night, again. :P We're currently 14-1, so I'm curious as to how the rankings will change on Monday. We're going to go up, just not sure how far. I'm so totally obsessed. It's ok though. :P The game last night was more fun than usual, because the Dayton parents/fans and section 26 were really getting into it more than usual. I was pretty sure there was going to be a fist fight or 5, lol. The game was also pretty good too, we played decent, but still not on top of our game. It was close there for most of the game so the yelling back and forth between section 26 and the Dayton fans was a bit more heated. I couldn't stop laughing because this one guy by me said the greatest things. He was yelling at Dayton's coach, because the coach kept yelling at the refs and disagreeing with every damn call. So this guy called the coach, and we know he heard, crybaby, bitch, pussy, sissy...and so on. The line I remember most though is of this guy yelling at a Dayton player who traveled but it didn't get called and he said "We know you're a ball handler! Just not a basketball!". I about fell off the bench I was standing on I was laughing so hard. Total hooligans, but it's such a good time.

Apparently during the Texas Tech game I was spotted on TV by a friend of mine...and apparently I'm going off on someone and I gesture politely that they can kiss my ass. So go me, embarrassing myself on TV. I was in a calm polite debate with a Texas Tech fan who really had an attitude problem and I was in the mood to help him correct it. :P You know, calmly and politely. As I do. (I can't even type that without laughing it's such a pile of bs, lol.)

Unfortunately I'm going to miss a home game because I'll be out of town on January 13th. Assuming the weather behaves, which I'm kinda worried about. It'll be televised, but I'll probably wind up having to watch online because the channel it'll be on won't be available where I'll be. All my Lobo gear is coming with me though, you better believe that.

On Monday I actually have to start maintaining a normal schedule since I have an intersession class. So this class is a week, and I'm curious as to how you can shove a 16 week class into 5 days...but I assume it has to do with having to be there 10am-6pm everyday. It's a creative writing class, and I'm confident enough in my writing skills to assume I'll impress. The class was actually full, and I had to jump a bunch of hoops to be able to register for it. Including getting permission from the professor. She said as long as I am really motivated she doesn't mind adding an extra to the class. Yeah...motivated. I'm not motivated for this class. I'm not sitting here thinking "Oh boy I can't wait to learn how to write creatively" or "I'm so excited to understand basic creative writing skills". I can write, if you read this you fucking know that. Even in a casual writing environment such as my blog, my writing runs more grammatically correct than you'd expect from a blog. My idea of casual writing is letting myself begin a sentence with but or and, using excessive commas and not worrying about minor technical details. I don't use crap like "ur" or 2 instead of to or any of those texting abbreviations. I don't use them in emails...and I don't use them in texts either actually. I like to write in full sentences, dammit. Anyways, I'm looking forward to this class only to really get feedback from someone who teaches writing about just exactly where my writing stands. I've already figured out I write well above the average skill level. I'm curious as to how far above that I am. All the compliments on my writing from friends, family and professors has me with what I think is an inflated ego and over-exaggerated opinion of just how well I write. I want to know if it's justified, basically.

I added a resolution last night, though I guess it could be a subtopic of the eat 10 new things. The resolution is this: Get over my avoidance of tomatoes. If you've ever eaten with me you know I have a real problem with tomatoes. Salsa is about the only acceptable medium I'll eat them in, and even then it's pretty infrequent I eat salsa. Slices of tomatoes and cherry tomatoes are completely out, I don't want them touching my food...and if they leave seeds or slime behind on my food, I refuse to eat that part. I know enough psych to know the best way to get this done...I thinking starting will be the hardest part. Man I hate tomatoes, they're so weird and gross.

I have quite a few of these extreme avoidances/fears. Tomatoes seems like an easy place to start. I feel the same way about watermelon too. But the WORST one, hands down, is ticks. You know, I'm a badass 99% of the time. Spiders, snakes, mice, worms, bugs do not phase me. Motherfucking ticks though...I have a very severe phobia of ticks. Total sissy when it comes to ticks, I start crying if I find out one is in the same room as me. As far as I am concerned, Ticks is the scariest movie fucking EVER. I can't watch it. I have to fucking leave if it's on. This year was the first year since my mom has lived in ABQ that we actually found ticks. The dogs got them at the dog park, and oh man I was a fucking disaster. I was petting Emma, who I adore and we are damn near always by each other, and I fucking found a tick on her by touching it. Immediately hysterical, was terrified to pet her and banned her from my room for about 2 months. She usually sleeps in my room on my bed next to me, but noooooooooo fucking way if ticks are involved. I obsessively washed my hands for a day or so and took 4 showers a day for 2 days. It's not even funny just how fucking terrified I am of ticks. Eventually I'd like to get to a point where I don't freak out but am just disgusted by them, but that'll be a resolution for another year...if not multiple years because I think it'll take more than a year to get over it.

I found out about something that is trouble waiting to happen. I need to double check, but I'm pretty sure my xenon headlights can handle a bi-xenon setup. What this means is I'll have my regular xenon lights like I've always had. However...I would have now have brights as well. In case the name didn't tip you off, I would have xenon BRIGHTS. Evil giggles galore. I'd love to turn on xenon brights for someone who flashes their lights at me for my standard lights. Just to let them know my lights could be A LOT WORSE. I love this idea. However, if I have to do any rewiring, to hell with it. I'm evil, but I'm also kinda lazy. :P Mischief is lazy evil, after all.

Life, by its very idea, is ridiculous. Might as well have fun with it while you have it.
