After a movie in the theater comes that awkward moment when you’re not sure if your friends to stay or watch the credits. You sit still for a few seconds and sees who makes the first move. Put on your scarf and maybe look around, and that starts the chain reaction of everyone getting up. And then end up awkwardly standing in an aisle until the end, because you actually did want to watch the credits but felt pressured by everyone else, hah.

Alice in Wonderland was enjoyable.

Comic written by 5 yr old, drawn by older brother. Cute.

You have a bin with six types of balls. You draw a ball out randomly, one at a time. What is the average number of times you need to draw before you have a matching pair in your hand? When you replace “ball” with “socks”, the answer is either “six” or “you never get a pair”.

Read three books by Emma Bull recently that I enjoyed: War for the Oaks, Finder, Falcon. Though she has a tendency to kill off the interesting characters. I started mentally marking off who I shouldn’t get too attached to, in later books I read.

me: “I’m thinking of moving in with my friend. I mean, I probably will. I mean. I have his keys already.”
mal: “… and where’d you put the body?”

(moving update: I’m going to be going to Jeff’s place on most of the days I do ballroom related activities in the evening. Will be heading home on the rest — free food, bigger room, and mom still trumps all when convenience isn’t an issue ^_^. oh, and better heat!)

I’ve also discovered that, after a long day of work, I enjoy the long train ride back home. That and tuning out when I get back, either reading a book or being on the web. It’s always been true, I think, but it takes not having a train ride back and being social after work for a day to realize it. It’s a little funny that I’d like to tune out, considering that “long day of work” usually means that I spent the last few hours of the day not talking to anyone.

mylifeisaverage.com is no longer about average, everyday occurrences (”today, I had low fuel. I got some gas. mlia”). It is now about quirky things that happen less often (”today I saw a flickering street lamp. I looked around for Dumbledore. mlia”). But they still feel like quirky thought and events that happen all the time to everyone. It is much better now.
