Hello Universe!
I'd like you to meet Kinsey 9.07.20. This latest version comes with new improved Attitude and extra Energy Stores! Check it out! She cleans! She cooks! She refuses to complain about her co-workers anymore! Unlike the 9.07.10, the Kinsey 9.07.20 plans ahead for her papers and does the laundry before she is out of clean pants! She eats her vegetables and has redefined snack food to mean bananas and oranges...(granted, chocolate is still on the list of acceptable foods, we're going for an update, not a new processing unit!)
But!
Above all, Kinsey has determined herself to be happy. This means, she won't sulk, or get anxiety, and certainly not emote. She can still be sad, and angry, and hungry - all those healthy emotions, but she won't punish herself anymore with grudges and pity parties.
And what does she have to say for herself?
"Hi. It's good to see you."

Which came first the Chicken or the Egg?
Well, today it was the egg.
It's been awhile since I updated, or at least a lot has happened in the interregnum. I went back-roading, I got sick, went to see my family, got my computer fixed, (Thanks Kira and Paul!) wrote an epic little paper...It was all very exciting. Except for the getting sick part because I'm still dealing with that.
Yes, I am feeling very sickly. I think it is strep and I may just have to brave Cedar City health care to see, because if it is strep... Getting rheumatic fever and dying just isn't one of my new year's resolutions. So today I made myself egg drop soup for early dinner before work and then ate chicken and rice after work because it sounded really good. And I did the dishes. It made me feel so accomplished that I endevoured to post to my blog. And now I'm gonna knuckle down and go read some Baudelaire. Wish me luck!

You Know it's an Odd Day When Mettallica and Mussorgsky are Both in Your AI-Generated Playlist.
There's this awesome online radio called Pandora.com - you give them a song or artist you like and then they generate a playlist for you. As you rate songs, they broaden or narrow the selection they draw from to play for you. It's really awesome and this week I'm listening to a channel they created based on the Finnish cellist trio, Apocalyptica. Say that three times fast.
Anyways, these last weeks have been kinda strange, but not more so than any other month in my life, I suppose. My computer has been sick recently. I finally got the new adapter in the mail and next thing I know I've got at least two trojans mucking around on my hard drive. So I run lots of scans and mostly try to avoid using my laptop until I can get my daddy to look at it when I go home next weekend; which I am very excited for, it will be my first time home since Christmas!
On Facebook recently, the newest thing going around is to write a list of 25 random things about you. I decided to do it, and since I'm somewhat brain-dead at the moment, I'm just going to copy it in here and pretend that I've written a lovely long blog for the total 5 people that read this. O.o
My list of twenty-five, well considered, yet random things about me.
1. I share the same initials as my little sister.
2. When I was six I invented an imaginary friend because I thought I'd be weird if I didn't. (You see how well the pre-emptive strike worked).
3. When all is said and done, I agree that the most delicious thing in the world is a cool drink of water on a very hot day.
4. I have almost an entire week worth of music on my computer. If I started singing now, I may run out of songs I know by the time February is over...maybe.
5. I drive a white Ford Mustang (because my daddy loves me lots) and I refer to it as "Pony."
6. The very first time I heard the story of the Trojan war, it sounded, strangely enough, like I had heard it before and I am ridiculously fascinated with it.
7. My roommate has decided I have an "Oedipus complex" (in the true sense rather than the confused ideas of Freud) because, like Troy, I am ridiculously fascinated by the King of Corinth's story and I try to reference it at any academic opportunity.
8. I celebrate half-birthdays by having a treat and singing half of the birthday song. "Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you..."
9. I currently have a notebook that I drag around with me and write stuff in. It's strange, for the first time in my life, I actually prefer writing to reading, and do more of it.
10. One of my favorite sounds in the world is that of studded snow tires on pavement because it means that it's a warm enough winter that I'm driving with the windows down.
11. Until this past fall, I hadn't actually seen any of the Lord of the Rings movies all the way through. After a week-long extended edition marathon, I now include them in my list of movies that I'm always willing to watch.
12. I tend to name my appliances and some of my furniture. For example, my computer's name is Kaz and I have an air freshener known as Demon.
14. Though I dislike having cold feet, I don't like wearing socks because my preferred feet position is with my big toes intertwined. Yeah, I know, it's weird.
15. My hair is the longest it has ever been and it makes me a lot happier than dead cuticles has any right to.
16. I laugh every time I see/hear any of the following: rainbows, java, mustard, and Shane West.
17. I like crack ships. If you know what I mean, you are also guilty of the love. If you don't, don't worry, I'm not talking drugs.
18. Considering how much I enjoy thinking and problem solving, I've never really liked mysteries.
19. The best compliment I've received this past year has been a perfect score I recived from a professor I truly admire. (The paper was about Oedipus, which just goes to prove #7).
20. I have an unhealthy fascination with pirates.
21. Half of the things I think and say fall under one of three categories: song lyrics, movie quotes, and inside jokes.
22. Some days I wonder how I managed to bypass being diagnosed.
23. Apparently, I talk in my sleep. and sing. and even howl on occasion.
24. There was no number thirteen on this list.
25. My blog. Pretty sure, that's one of the most random things about me.
26. That and my brain.
