Dumb things I am doing right now, a nested list

[algeh]

• Not sleeping
  
  
  
  • Using the computer
    
    
    
    • Reading entries from 10 years ago on my Very First Webjournal
      
      
      
      • Posting about it here
        
        
        
        • Posting publically rather than custom-friendslocked all to hell
          
          
          
          • Editing this entry repeatedly to change little things
            
          
          
        
        
      
      
    
    
  
  

In related non-nested notes:

• To every professor I had as a sophomore in college: I was the worst student ever. I can only plead youth and stupidity. I am so embarrassed about it now. Thank you for passing my pathetic ass anyway, which I probably didn't deserve.
  
• Still crazy and staying up too late and telling the internet about it, although a lot less of that last one. Why did I used to share so very much? I suppose it was A Different Time.
  
• Some predictions don't come true.
  
• Goddammit self, caffeine makes you crazy. Stop it.
  
• Today will be my 10 year Spiffy's-a-versary. I do not plan to celebrate it by driving to Spiffy's, as I probably should have outgrown driving to Chehalis for bad diner food by now. (I do now understand the theory behind vegetarians attempting to locate breakfast places when trying to eat in small towns, though.) I will probably celebrate it by sleeping most of the day and then eating Chinese food for dinner, because that is what I was going to do anyway.
  
• GOODNIGHT I AM GOING TO SLEEP OR AT LEAST NON-INTERNET NOW. I AM SO DUMB.

Ah, I have so been there. In the sense of staying up too late reading old Internet postings. I have not been to Spiffy's.

I kind of envy the whiny teenagers who Tragically Lost their old webjournals in a hard drive crash or to their site being hacked with no local backup, because I think every embarrassing and/or stupid thing I have said on the internet is still up. (Except for stuff I posted to the Vanyel Fan Club email list in the lates 1990s, I suppose, which was thankfully on various free mailing list providers and thus probably has no surviving public archive.) I suppose I could take my old webjournals down, but I do kind of want to have the record myself and I like the added redundancy.

If you are ever in Chehalis, WA you can go to Spiffy's! It is a pretty unexceptional diner right off of the freeway at either exit 59 or exit 68, I forget. I recommend it if you need food at that exact point of the PDX to Seattle drive, which is kind of unlikely since you live no where near here.

Maybe next year we can meet in the middle at Spiffy's, just for fun. Don't forget about the exciting collection of religious tracts!

[algeh]

Perhaps! Although, last time I went to Spiffy's, they no longer had the religious-crazy in the form of pamphlets, just the bee-pollen-marketing mild-crazy that seems to be part of all small town diners in Washington. Alas.

However, I do go to Seattle several times a year and I suck for never remembering that you live there! What is a good way to get ahold of you and possibly hang out sometime?

My next actual trip is for Conflikt the last weekend of January, but I'll be pretty busy with the con itself over the weekend. You probably have actual responsibilities in your life that preclude it, but I'd probably be able to meet for lunch on Friday the 29th if you wanted to and let me know in advance.

Usually, my Seattle trips are less fully scheduled since I'm just coming up for either a housefilk, a party Sean is throwing, or, if the stars align to make things awesome, both. I have no idea when the next one of either of those will be, but there will almost certainly be one or more this summer if not sooner. I am also staring hard at Norwescon, but I'm not sure I can justify the expense and that'd run into the same problem with the con eating my weekend anyway.

Yeah, meeting on weekdays is hard for me. If you think of it, let me know next time you're in town and will have some free time. My current email address is on my profile page, if you don't have it already.

I'm totally with you on the not sleeping.

We can stop at Spiffy's on the way to Conflikt if you want.

If you weren't sleeping, then why weren't you on instant messaging? I think you "wimped out" and went to bed around 3 or so, because only clipdude was up by the time I had major make-an-ass-out-of-myself-on-the-internet cravings last night. I did not message him, because he has already exceeded his lifetime quota of having to put up with me acting like an ass. (You have a higher rolling quota and no lifetime limit as long as we are dating, so don't get your hopes up that you are near yours, BTW.)

I don't really care about stopping at Spiffy's as they are kind of unlikely to have much in the way of vegetarian options. I have internet evidence that they had lousy choices 10 years ago, anyway. INTERNET EVIDENCE WRITTEN BY MY OWN HAND! I'd probably rather stop at the Burgerville in Centralia since it's likely to be cheaper and definitely more likely to have food I like. (Nom nom blue cheese salad om nom nom.)

I'm pretty sure eating Reese's Peanut Butter Cups for breakfast at 13:00 is not the way to go about fixing my life. BLARGH. Pile. Of. Goo.

I was rereading one of the Song of Ice and Fire books with a dozen alternating viewpoint characters that I can't get you to read. And therefore was not on the internet.
