It's 12:39am here in VA. I wanted to be asleep over an hour ago. I've been to bed twice already but I'm just not that tired right now. I'd blame it on the caffeine but I only had one 12 ounce can of soda today and that was for lunch. I did have several pieces of chocolate but that was over 2 hours ago. Sure, that stuff has caffein in it but it also has sugar in it. Sugar, of course, gives you a quick boost of energy but then leaves you feeling deflated. So why am I telling you this? Well, what who else am I going to talk to now? Okay, there are a few people on my IM list that are up now. I don't know. I guess I just wanted to add to the old blog. Poor poor you. You have to put up with all my drivel.
Actually, it's not uncommon for me to be up until 1 or 1:30 in the morning. I'm trying to change that a bit though. You know, Early to bed, early to rise. Etc.
Oh well... Good night. I hope you're sleeping well these days.

"Did you have a good weekend?"
That's a question I'm not eager to field, unless the weekend was somewhat unusual. A usual weekend consists of spending too much time alone watching too much TV or just playing around on a computer not really accomplishing anything. This weekend is going alright I guess. A friend and I went out and got some food, hung out a bit and then went to see a movie at the cheap theater (which happens to be the best theater in town).
Saturday, on the other hand, was much less interesting. I watched TV and surfed the web till around 11 then I got bored and went for a drive. I ended up looking around at Lowes. After that I came back home and shortly thereafter went out again and got something to eat. Ummm I'm not exactly sure what I did for the next several hours. I spent some of that on the Internet again (looking at expensive computers and customised cases... what a nerd). I was tired for a while. I eventually .... oh well... I've already given you too much detail on a rather dull day. I hope Sunday is better. Maybe I'll skip town after church. Next weekend I might go visit friends and family in PA. That should be a little more interesting.
Sorry if I bored you with this one. Eventually I'll tell you what I think about something instead of what isn't happening.
oh, BTW I also did laundry today. Yippee.

Howdy Howdy Howdy.
Well, guess what. We got broadband here at the house so I don't have to bug my room mate for his AOL password to get online. I have a pretty fast connection at work so I didn't really miss not having it at home. The down side of that is I didn't have a connection available to me when I'm most likely to write in this here log. Now that I do have net access here, at the end of the day, you might just be hearing more from me.
I just got back from a costume party 15 minutes ago or so. It was fun. I originally wasn't going to go because it's the same night I have small group/house church. This week church started early and it was a short one so I was able to go to both. I feel a little bad for telling so many people so adamantly that I wasn't going. But then I was feeling a little bad because so many of my friends wanted me to show up and some of them put a lot of effort into the planning and cooking and decorating etc. I'm a bit asocial so big gatrherings don't thrill be too much but I thought I'd better show up at least for their sake.
Anyway, I left house church around 8, I came home and through together a costume. I had it 80% planned out ahead of time. I had a couple of ideas but I thought one might be in poor taste. Oh yes, I thought it'd be funny, but I could see how some people could be offended by me going as a black ghost (black sheet and an afro). I decided to go with an "evil clown" costume. I'm not really a fan of evil or of clowns or a mix of the two. I do have, however, a big yellow rubber suit (the kind used by people working with toxic stuff) and the afro wig an ex room mate left here. I didn't have make up so I made a mask using an old pair of ruined khakis (if you cut a leg off up at the thigh it'll fit over your head), some markers, some fabric paint and some oil pastels. The whole mask making took nearly an hour. I ended up making two because the first one didn't turn out right. The second one worked. It came out effectively freaky/scary. It seemed to intimidate people, but it got a lot of compliments. I think the entrance helped too. The party was outside and I walked up the long driveway and right past the main gaggle of people, not even looking at them. I walked right up behind some of my friends who were getting their picture taken. No one knew it was me until someone lifted the mask and saw my mouth and chin. Of course, since they didn't think I was coming they were a bit surprised to see me.
Anyway, it was fun. Shortly after I showed the party moved inside and I took off the costume. I put it on briefly for another round of pictures, but I'm really not a psycho-evil-killer-clown.
P.S. No alcoholic beverages served... It's not that kind of party.
P.P.S. I'm not super-keen on celebrating Halloween in general. I made an exception because of the people involved.
adios
