This Plane Is Definitely Crashing


How much shit must a Chris go through to snap like a twig? The world will never know!

Thats right, I survived my memo, I turned it in on monday. Howd I do on it you ask? I dont fucking care. Really. That thing ate my soul, stole my innocence, tossed a 20 on the nightstand and told me to consider other work. But its done, and i am rejoicing. I still have a timed writing on friday, but its in class, so theres nothing i can really do about it. Past that, im clear up through the second week of december, when the real fun starts, exams, which will be a whole new form of stress, but after this memo, I realized a few things, and dont worry, im back to being the cocky 'this law school shit aint got nothin on me' guy i came up here as, just wiser. Im getting really annoyed with having to capitalize my letters, so if i stop, you know why.

I feel like im coming out of a big hazy fog, and suddenly remembering theres a world outside school, so now im all wide eyed and stupified. Did go see Master and Commander, which rocked, i was very pleased. Other than that i really dont remember anything thats happened in the past week, except that i didnt sleep a lot, and when i have been sleeping, ive been having weird dreams. In these dreams, i find out im going to die for some reason, usually weird, either i have some disease, the swarm of aliens are going to get me, the cave is going to collapse, etc. But instead of being scared or worried, ive gotten mad, cuz in almost all the dreams i have something im doing, someone im protecting, or something i need to do. So i get all pissed that i might die first. Strange.

Lots of my classes are ending now, which is nice, i get to sleep in a little more. I have nothing to do over thanksgiving and stuff, so im gonna catch up on doing jack shit, and believe me im way behind. Like a reward from God, Final Fantasy X-2 came out tuesday (day after I turned the memo in), so ive been playing that, and it should last me a bit. Though i realized after buying it that i am BROKE. Like BROKE BROKE. It sucks, but i think if i focus, i may be able to cut back on my willy nilly spending that im known for, I think i may be able to be cheap, though itll be new for me.

But i figure between that and Diablo and AvP2, im good to go in terms of games.

Melissa, im glad you finally saw Pirates and realized it for the fantastic movie it is. Anyone who can watch that and NOT want on my ship is a souless fiend.

As for you Califorians and your earthquakes, well, im jealous. Really, as scary as it sounds, chances are youll live if it happens, just a little shakin and such right? Then you can say you were there when CA fell into the sea. Or floated out, and then itd be like that movie with whats his face, where hes Snake and has to escape the island prison of California, Escape from LA or whatever that was. Earthquakes and fires to the west, hurricanes to the east, and me stuck in the middle wallowing in my sleet/wind coming in off the lake. Maybe this is some sort of midwest disease, some desire to thrust myself into natural disasters im never to see.

The cat is still good, feeling more comfortable (comfortable = exploring and getting into every damn thing). I think 'incorrigible' is a good word for my cat. Much better than staceys cat. Sorry Mr. Titters.

Okay, well i should really go to bed, since the memo has been turned in my body seems determined to attempt to reclaim the energy and sleep that was stolen from it, and attempts to take it when i least expect it. Like torts. Okay, speaking of Torts, one funny story. In class, we're doing this case where this guy gets rear ended, he seems okay but later its found out that he has brain damage. from that he starts having seizures and all sorts of problems. This guy is a doctor that takes care of his terminally ill mother, and no longer can cuz of this. in addition, his wife has to quit her job to take care of him, and his bills are immense. He kills himself. The doctors estate sues the driver of the car in the accident. So we're studying it as a 'is the negligent driving of the defendant a proximate cause of the plaintiffs injury". so my professor is asking, what are the (multiple) causes of the injury? Well one person says the car accident, which is right. So then hes like 'what else led to his injury?'. person after person after person is like 'the brain damage? the seizures? the tough home life?'. Im on the ohter side of the room, my hand raised, and im laughing. Hard. Like almost in tears. Finally he calls on me, and i show my sensitive side by at that point blurting out "perhaps the GUN he put in his mouth and SHOT THROUGH THE BACK OF HIS HEAD". it was ridiculous. the prof laughed, i got some stares though. Uptight law students. This is why lawyers get a bad name. Well, that, and already ive learned so many tricks to drag a lawsuit out for sooooo long, and remember, i get paid by the hour :).

Ok, really, im going to bed.
