Yucky Ramen

While we're trading quotes... I've always been kind of attached to this one:

"And eating yucky ramen can also... be an interesting experience."

10 points for anyone that can guess where that's from with an extra bonus of 20 if they can say why it's such a good quote. No cheating though, I'm watching you.

Some updates also:

A) It's not ringworm. It itches, but the bump is gone.
B) The dog has a swolen salivary gland. So it's a huge relief and I can now make fun of him for having spit problems.

Also had a moment today... in my old room. I would've thought that I'd want to be home so bad, but when I'm there it's like a different place. Not like it's not home or anything... it's just not where I feel like I belong anymore. I don't belong here the city either, but I don't feel out of place in life. It's confusing, but I'm happy. I also had this feeling that I haven't felt for a while now... and I didn't like it. A feeling I fought very hard to put away... it scares me because just a day ago I was thinking for upteen hours, "just get me out of this car... so I can say that I don't want this in my life anymore and turn my back on all of it". Six hours or so of thinking that to myself, "I'll just say I don't want this and leave me alone and then someone will come and save me." Bullshit is hard to deal with sometimes. Feeling betrayed and lied to and then feeling the same as I did when everything fell apart is hurtful. Somehow I deal, but it's hard to try and watch my back all the time. I just don't want to hurt again...

On the side... I hate nerds. Well... I mean... I like geeks. I hate nerds. You know, the guys who know more than the professor and know that they know more, so they ask inappropriate questions at irrelevant times just so they can inflate their own nerdy little ego. I wonder if they see me laugh in front of them when they ask their question, because I know the answer and know full well the professor doesn't know. I had one professor this semester already say that avoiding questions like that is called "social skills". Sometimes I wish I were seeking a profession where people had a bit more of those.
