I figure that I should probably post so that everyone is aware that I still exist and haven't discorporated or been abducted by aliens.
School is winding to a close and has been eating all of my time up except for the few moments I illicitly steal away from it for things like a movie. I think I spoiled myself on artsy movies... the typical cliched action movie just really doesn't do much for me anymore.
I learned an interesting fact the other day. While we are sleeping our bodies are in an anabolic state and it has been hypothesized that plants are in a perpetual anabolic state. I don't exactly know what that means or if plants can have other states, but I was thinking about what would happen if plants really are just all asleep all the time and what would happen when they wake up. I wonder how they would behave and what they would be able to do and what they would, in fact, do.
I was reading a book today, and as I stared down at it, I could have sworn there was a purple aura like haze around the border of the book, like a black light. I looked up and around to see what could possibly be causing the effect but all of the lights were yellow and I couldn't find anything purple around, but every time I looked back at the pages there was the purple aura around it. How strange.
This past weekend I went home to Peachtree City for my little sister's birthday. I had a good time spending time with my little sisters and hurt my back jumping on the trampoline... I guess I need to get in better shape. I took my little friends with me and while Jird and Meriones received a warm welcome, everyone seemed a little weirded out by Faustus and Mephistopheles. It's okay, I love them all. I don't think any of them liked the trip though. Jird tried to chew on my hands a couple times while there and he has never done that before.
Time to stop stalling on my presentation I have to give tomorrow. Back to the grind...
