So that project. I just turned in the revised version. I don't know what it is about that program but I could not get it right. So I just said fuck it and pretended to flip my coffee table over.

I feel pretty bummed about this but even if I fail I'll have about an 80 on my OLA grade. If I actually get on top of the rest of the OLA assignments then I could bring that grade up.

So today I was sitting in the dark reading comics books, it was like three in the afternoon by the way, and my friend called and asked about doing stuff over spring break. That's when I realized that I was looking forward to having a week off so I could sit in the dark and read comics. I might have a problem. Also, I was reading Annihilation: Nova if you were interested. I know I would be.

Tomorrow Is kind of a dumb day. I have three classes. The first two are gonna be normal, except it's the day before spring break so no one will pay attention and everyone will forget everything. Then I have a calculus quiz. A one question calculus quiz. It's dumb because I have to walk back to school, take a five minute quiz, and walk back.

Also I a realizing that there is a bunch of stuff I need to do around here before I leave tomorrow.

oh hey my school is also getting pretty shitty or something. There have been two or three more shooting near campus and also two nights ago a girl got stabbed to death at her apartment. I'm suddenly missing the sexual assault alerts I'd get all the time last semester.

I'm hungry but I don't want to eat because it's 11:05 and I'd like to go to sleep soon. Earlier I made pizza rolls in m oven and the smoke alarm went off. Scared me half to death. I panic and ripped them off the wall and wrapped them in a blanket. Also, I have three smoke alarms that are really close to each other. Two are on one side of the wall about a foot apart and the third is on the other side. They're at the top of a doorway. It seems somehow flawed to arrange them like that. I also have three ceiling fans in my little apartment. I don't know why but it's pretty cool and I brag about it a lot because I brag about stupid shit all the time because I am madly in love with myself.

I'm scared of barbers. I don't know if I've mentioned it before but I am. I hate going to get my hair cut because I have to talk to a fucking barber. I guess it's like how most people feel when they go to the dentist. Only stupider. Scared might not be the right word. I just don't like having to sit there and make small talk. Also they ask "How do you want your hair cut" and I've never been able to answer that. I want it shorter than it is now but I would like for it to continue to exist. A lot of it is because the school I went to from kindergarten to senior year made us keep it short and it couldn't cover our ears or touch our collars or go below the eyebrows. So now I have no such rule and it's just wild and shitty but kinda pretty sometimes. Also I had this insane barber as a kid. His name was Jessie or something and he had cut my hair and my brother's hair and my dad's hair. By the time he got to me he was really old. He was really shaky and he couldn't see well and also he smoked all the time. So little kid Hoogie is sitting there forced to get his hair cut because of school and this crypt keeper is holding sharp knives and a cigarette while shaking like a shaky thing. He's probably dead now or something so I don't have to worry about that anymore. So now I really need a haircut because I'm tired of it being in my way all the time but I've been putting off this hair cut for like a month.

I think I'm going to eat a toaster strudel and try to sleep.
I fucked up a project pretty bad last night. It's a computer science project. It's supposed to play a game of hearts and output blah blah blah whatever. Mine only outputs bullshit and gives you negative points for no reason. I was pretty stressedpissed about this last night when I turned it in fifteen minutes before it was due.

So anyway I go to class and have everything printed off and everyone else was like "mine was not right I did a bad job on this" except the guys I usually talk to because they're fucking smarter than me. So the professor was like "oh no You can not it? Well I will give you till thursday midnight to turn it in again" and I was like "allllllllright."

So my day is going pretty well except that means I have to look at this shitty program again. Fuck.

Spring break is next week and that is fun times I guess. I have nothing planned though. Actually no. Monday I have a dentist and an orthodontist appointment planned.

oh and I'm going to the zoo with my friends on tuesday or wednesday or someday.

I wish my life were more interesting so that whenever I started writing something here I wouldn't realize how very little I actually do.

Well, I'm just gonna take off my pants and read comic books until I drift into nap.
So today was not a good day for me. I didn't think it would be but it kinda got out of control. First off the obvious thing, valentine's day. I don't really mind the day or couples celebrating. It bothers me when everyone else complains though. It just makes me fell a little extra lonely.

Secondly is computer science. Last night we had a project due and I didn't finish. I have the code written out and it compiles and it works logically but when I run it I get a segmentation fault. I had to turn it anyway and hope for a 72 or something. We also had a test today that I don't feel so great about. I think I passed but I know it isn't a good grade.

Then the shooting. As in, someone got shot on campus. Someone got shot on campus in a building I had a class in earlier that day. It's put me a little on edge. I'm not like worried or anything but it bothers me. The guy should be fine, he just got shot in the finger. Once they caught the shooter everything continued normally. They didn't even cancel my last class. I found out about it though facebook too. like the school's facebook page showed the alert updates and I kept track there. I was at my apartment having lunch at the time. It's a weird thing to happen though. This school has had stuff like that happen before but it's weird for it to happen today. Also when my mom called to check on me she was just like "well I was just checking to see if you're ok. ok? bye." like no "be careful" or "stay safe" or anything like that.

So after that during calculus a wasp flew in the room and almost landed in my hair and I got really scared.

and also I got a 4/4 on a calculus quiz so that's ok. today still sucked though.
So I'm back in the Boro and classes started today. Yesterday was my birthday Nothing happened though. My dad was like "happy birthday son. I am proud of you." and then handed me a 100 dollar bill. My dad is actually pretty great. He wears cowboys hats all the time and he's really grumpy and old and he yells at the TV is such a beautiful way it's almost an artform.

So I'm pretty bad at the social interaction deal. I can't make normal conversation. Everyone thinks that I'm hilarious but that's because I only ever talk when I have something funny to say. So I feel shitty about being by myself in my apartment watching TV all the time. But I also love watching TV all the time so yeah. I'm already 19 movies in on my resolution.

In my sociology class we have to so some stupid outside of class project blah de blah whatever. One of the options is to sociologically analyze 5 different channels for their ads or something like that. I was excited because I pretty much already do that. People who watch Judge Joe Brown love to go to school in their pajamas and also they have heart problems.

I barely slept last night because my sleep schedule gets fucked all over whenever I have long periods of time with nothing to do. So I've been up all night doing whatever and then I'd sleep until the very late afternoon. Yesterday I was still awake at around 8 or 9 or something in the morning and I was watching this Star Trek TNG marathon on ssyfy and my mom made me a plate of bacon. So there I was nodding off on the couch with a plate full of bacon in my hand watching Star Trek. That moment defines my winter break fairly well.

So my mom bought me a little cheescake for my birthday adn I'm pissed because I left it at home. This morning I ate pizza rolls for breakfast because I forgot my eggs too.

It's really fucking cold here. There is snow on the ground and it has been there for a few days. That has never happened here in my life. Usually we get a half a day of snow and it's gone by dinner. But nooo. Not now. And it's weird because for all those years everything seemed to shut down because of the snow but now we just have to deal with it. I do like walking in the snow though. It was actually kind of nice but only because I had like six layers on. I need some new shoes and new coats though. I have this heated blanket now and it is the bomb man. This thing is so warm. Damn.

I have my own Netflix now so that's how I waste all my time. It makes up for the 20 channels of cable I get in my apartment. Although it sucks because the other day I found out that Boy Meets World does reruns still but now I don't have that channel.

So now I have nothing left to say.
Man I love Laverne & Shirley. It's one of many weird shows that I grew up loving because I watched a lot of Nick at Nite when I was a kid. So most of the time if I mention an older show my friends have no idea what I'm talking about. They don't even know what Matlock is. I'm like it's all Andy Griffith and solving cases and courtrooms and they're all like I know of Andy Griffith but I've never really watched that show. So my days have been pretty messed up since Christmas. That MST3K marathon has been fairly ongoing and every night I watch Conan and The Wonder Years and Doogie Howser M.D. and Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley. So I fall asleep around 5 am and wake up at 3 in the afternoon.Also the Wonder Years is another show that no one I know had actually heard of. Those guys suck. And since I can control when the movies begin and end I'm going to watch some more MST3K and play Professor Layton until dream time.

I don't like new year resolutions. I never stick to them and no one else does either. But there is one I'm going to try to do again. Three or four years ago my brother decided to watch 50 that he'd never seen before as his resolution. I stole that idea.

The first time I didn't follow through but I'm trying again this year. There are a lot of movies that I'm embarrassed about admitting that I haven't seen. This year 'm going to try to remedy that. Today I watched Die Hard, Die Hard 2: Die Harder, and The Man from Earth. Thanks, Netflix.

So anyway my attempt to better myself this year involves sitting around and watching a bunch of movies.
Chrostmas Eve was pretty cool. That's when my family actually does stuff. Went to my cousin's house way out on the boondocks and was forced to hang with the family. I don't completely dislike these people but most of them are pretty terrible. No one is around the same age as me so I either have to watch the children or talk about old people crap. Some are surprisingly cool though. Me and my most redneckest cousin discussed if fishing with gummi worms would work and what the biggest food you can sneak into a movie theater. He knew someone who got a whole pizza in. What the fuck. I got some beef jerky and money from my secret santa and my part of the family went home. We opened our presents and ate some beef stew. Then we played with my niece, She is the cutest person ever.

Christmas sucked though. I usually wouldn't mind because Christmas day has never been Christmas for my family. I'm disappointed because on September 25th my friend and I got fortune cookies that said "Three months from today something good will happen to you." or something to that effect. Anyway that good day just happened to fall on Christmas. But nothing good happened. I sat on the couch and watched MST3K and fell asleep several times. Also my brother watched the Doctor Who Christmas special without me so I'll have to watch it alone whenever it finishes downloading. Also I totally know what I'm going to be for Halloween. I'm going to get a gorilla suit and a diving helmet thing and be the Robot Monster from Robot Monster.

Also it snowed on Christmas which hasn't happened here since 1993. That would be cooler if I had actually went outside.
I'm trying to waste time. That is why I'm trying to put something here. I've got a bunch of math shit to do. We have group presentations. Group presentations in a precalculus class. What the hell man? So my group is pretty chill. I like them but we're probably not going to have a good thing. We haven't really talked to each other. We essentially just split it up so we wouldn't have to even make an effort to see each other. I'm fine with this. So I'm going to make my little three minute speech about fractals and snowflakes and call it a day. But that's not all for precal. We also have a take home test. It's only five questions but they are verifying trig identities so they will take a lot of time. I haven't even started yet. Every other class is babies. Just got to study for finals. Psychology and history aren't even cumulative. I have like two chapters to read for each of those and I'm set. Finals start Friday and for me they end late on Wednesday. I just want to fight people. That or sleep and read comic books.

Also it's cold. Fuck this cold. I'm unprepared for this cold. I walk to and fro from school and it's freezing. And windy. The wind blows all this cold up into my face. It's bullshit. It snowed for like twenty minutes on Monday. None of it stuck of course but it was cool to see. Maybe we'll actually get real snow this year. No wait. Fuck that though. I don't want to have to walk in the snow. Snow when finals are done. You hear me WeatherMan! You better not let it snow before the 15th. I will fucking cut you bro. fucking trigonometry. I really hate your ass
