The Random, Meaningless Announcements Thread 3!

Does it make sense to anyone that I don't want a job with engineering or coding because I find such things too therapeutically to want to add the stress of a job to it? On certain tasks, either I'm on a mission or desperately needing an escape. Other than that, I really don't like doing it. I even hate working on my car, but because it's the same logical processing of taking things out, figuring out problems, and having to use my brain that even though I've thrown wrenches in rage, even working on my car tends to sooth me in a way.
Such as, after having this robotics class, my summer project (asides from trying to finish A Song of Ice and Fire) will probably keep me very occupied as I was to turn any console video game controller into a USB controller to use on a computer. I also want to be able to hook an N64 controller into a Gamecube/Wii. Unlike when I first wanted to do this, I know now how to at least get started with it.
Unfortunately though I probably won't be able to make them to sell them, because you can buy them online for much cheaper than I can make them.

A local paint store closes at 5pm.
Ridiculous!

You're right! I know for a fact that there is a strong demand for paint round-the-clock, so all paint stores should be open 24-7!

All other paint stores are open later, some til 9pm.
Finding out they're closed at 5:05pm is a bummer.

It's a very lovely day out (83 degrees fahrenheit and kind of breezy - not too humid).

I don't want to do anything more for school this semester. I couldn't find a subject with articles from PsychINFO to do my literature review over leaving me with a topic that just happened to have some search results (turns out the effects of religious parents on LBGT youth really hasn't been studied much), leaving me not really wanting to do it, three projects from a teacher I hate leaves me not really wanting to do them, and I have spend a few more hours finalizing a robot that has already frustrated me beyond belief and has been at every step the biggest failure of a project I've ever undertaken. But I only have today, the weekend, Monday, and everything has to be done by Tuesday night for submission on Wednesday at the latest.

I think I need to try a different hair spray. I walked out the door having an awesome hair day, but that didn't last. Earlier it was long and straight, and smooth and shiny, and it did this thing that made it look cool (perhaps due to me only straightening out the visual curls in my hair), and now it's a frizzy mess.

To leave on a positive note before I go pretending all the pain my robot feels as I splatter molten metal on it (it'll be good for my sanity to just be done with it), one change I have noticed since being on hormones is I went from having pretty much a never ending supply of hair coming out as I comb and brush to having no more than the normal few hairs.
And, randomly, I do wonder of all the women who have told me "it's not fair you're a guy and have that hair (and often eyelashes)," would they think the same knowing I'm trans?
And, on another positive note, by his mannerisms I can tell my brother's dog has accepted me as a girl. Must be with the hormones or something in the sweat or something, because he only puts his paws on women's laps and he only pardons women who accidentally whack him with their feet. If a guy does that, he doesn't bite but he let's them know they pissed him off. He also only does certain whines when women pet him.

I got a 97 on an English quiz. I also just chugged a whole water bottle.

My female dogs climb all over me when I spray on too much Axe. Maybe that has testosterone or some similar androgen in it...

Motivation not achieved. I'm half assing all my projects for the teacher I hate (I actually have four of them) tomorrow, and doing my psychology paper Sunday/Monday, leaving me with Monday/Tuesday/a few hours on Wednesday to finish my robot.
Then I go to work from 2p-11p on Thursday, and then Friday I get to go stab some goblins and hack up some dwarves and know I'm in a world where no one can think my "hyperrational coldness" a strike against me because for all they know that's just a character. Which creates an interesting paradox. I have an avenue to socially experiment and try different things, I can let the "negative" aspects of myself flow, but it's a character doing it, as far as they are concerned. But it's not necessarily a character that's going to be burning a church. Vicariously, the real church (Conservative, anyways,) is always trying to take my rights away; here this fantasy church is as close to the real thing to pouring out years of frustration and anger as I'll get. I won't have a real altar to desecrate over the years of learned self-loathing, but that doesn't mean I can't still make this into a ritual. My character is just doing this to play head games with another character. A certain "holy man" was a very bad man, and I want to hold this "holy man" by the threads like a puppet to have a potentially useful and--willfully--expendable ally. And there is certainly nothing like a good tragedy to stir the emotions of a righteous zealot.
But, me, my actual person, in a LaVey Satanism sort of way, while I'm burning it there will probably be very specific Bible verses going through my head, see specific faces, remember old pains and scars, and reflect back on how the chains I was placed in at birth have been shed, and that my life is my own, and how far I've come.

I've suspected maybe it has some sort of pheromones in it, from what I have heard of people's reactions.
But I can't stand the smell of the stuff (or any cologne/perfume), thus have not read the bottle. I haven't read the bottle because a rotted carcass in a ditch on a summer's day doesn't offend my nose nearly as bad.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Oh how I have!!!
.....oh, wait.....you meant have I missed you, Wu...not the good good Doctor.....
Of course I missed you!

Most guys I know think Axe smells really bad, I don't mind it. As for cologne, it's a complete waste of money.

I'm going to remove the blanket flowers from the
garden border, & replace'm with more asparagus.

I don't know what it is exactly, but it's not just a smell, I think it is certain chemicals in most colognes and perfumes and other such things that causes a burning sensation--sometimes mild sometimes rather bothersome--in my nose and sinuses. Not really sure though. All I know is they make my nose cringe.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

And then there are those guys who smell like they took a bath in their cologne. I wish I could tie a rope around their necks for a few seconds so they can kind of know what it feels like to be at the other end of that.

At the moment, I'm wishing I could do without a digestive system, and how much easier and better my life would be without the pain and rumbling going on in it.
