I'm not crazy, I'm just a little un-well

Work was a little on the boring side this week. It was exciting until after Wednesday, because I really couldn't find anything to do. Finally, I asked Dennis (our resident Canadian chemist) about how the AOD (Argon Oxygen Decarbonization process) works. He gave me this big ole booklet to read, so at least I'll have something to do while I wait for Andy and Nick to help me get the crane weights project going.

My car's still not fixed yet; dread and despair above all things on earth and in heaven. I get to ride with this nutty guy from work all week (because my car is 'supposed' to be fixed by Wednesday... or like 2 weeks ago). And not nutty in the good way. Plus, he leaves before the birds even come out to chirp, so I'll be getting up and going to bed extra early.

I went to one of the coolest parties last night. I say coolest because I haven't been able to hang out with a group of people (especially my UK people) for the longest time. It was great to see some people (Ruthie, Mark, Adam, Scott), meet some new people (John, Rebecca, and Nick), chill out, and have some awesome conversations (about sex, porn, mutual friends, childhood, and religion... don't even try to figure out how we got from one topic to the next. Just consider it stream of consciousness thinking all around the room). Also, it was one of the very, very, VERY few times where I had a religious conversation with someone and didn't cry or get too agitated or upset. I dunno, maybe I'm just really protective of my beliefs, or maybe I've just learned to listen and share when it comes to what I think. I'm only human, ya know. But anyway, Bridget (who was also there and met all my crazy friends and the new people I didn't know) and I decided that we need to hang out with them again, and the next time we're bringing our pillows and blankets and just camping out instead of having to leave at like 4 AM. The conversation was quite good and fun though! I wish everyone would have stayed as late as we did... not that there were a LOT of people there; I'd say about 6 or 7. Regardless, it was tons of fun and needs to be duplicated in the near future. :) Maybe after the NAESC SER face-to-face meeting in February (it's so convenient to have all the officers in one state who go to schools that are rather close), we'll hang out with those fun folks again.

You know, lately I've been contemplating having cosmetic surgery. Okay, don't make fun of me or harass me. I feel like of like I'd be cheating if I did have any kind of cosmetic surgery. I don't want to do any of those bariatric or whatever else kind of drastic weight loss surgeries. I can do that on my own. I want to have other surgeries (and if you really want to know, you can email me or comment and I'll tell you what they are) just because I feel like of... I dunno, I feel physically inferior to other people. I guess that's why a lot of people have cosmetic surgeries. But the surgeries that I'm considering do have underlying health issues also, so I'm not trying to be totally vain or whatever else. I dunno, I just want to look nice and feel good about the way I look.

I have been acting and dressing a little more girly lately though. I guess it's just because I wear jeans and t-shirts to work (envy me!!! :D) and there's no real point in trying to girl your look up when you just fix stuff all day. Anyway, I'm not really trying to impress anyone at work... except maybe Aaron, a cute guy I'd like to date or at least get to know, and my boss Alex--and I can't impress Alex by looking nice! I even painted my nails today. And you'd never guess what color. PINK! See what you caused, Bridget? :D -- Bridget dressed me in a pink flavored (yea I said flavored) get-up last night and I looked so adorable. :) I just temporarily borrowed some of her clothes, so she can probably rock them 100 times better than I can!
