Vortexia's Secret

i just realized that just a little less than a week ago i was apologizing for being so boring. look at me now! i'm posting a mile a minute and i'm coming up with all kinds of crazy crap. good for you people who get off to a slooooooow monday and have plenty of time to be entertained by the newest stuff, but bad for you people (like me sometimes) who feel overwhelmed when i go back to one of my favorite blogs and find that there are 30 new posts to go through. but i'm also not procrastinating at work. if i were, it might be different... i'd have 8 whole hours with which to go through all the latest posts.

going through some of the posts of this past however long, i realized that we've covered some pretty amusing, strange, and crazy stuff. i say we because some of it was contributed by you, my wonderful readers and commenters. anyway, i just wanted to say thanks, i do appreciate it all, and am glad to see that you guys also seem to appreciate me and whatever randomness i dish out for you.

now on a serious note, i move in like a week. i have about 95% of the packing still to do, and i have 4 class assignments that have to be completed before the move as well (because they're due to monday after i move and i probably won't be able to locate anything i need in order to do them in my new place). i'm trying not to get too stressed, but at the same time i'm not so sure that's a good thing. it'll be the night before the move and i'm manically packing here and then going to my parents' house at approximately 4am to unload all the stuff that is currently stored in the furniture that is going to the new place. it's all stored there because i don't want it crowding up my everyday life and haven't had time to sort through it. i figured this move was my big chance to go through it all, but instead i'll just be investing in several giganto rubbermaid bins from target and throwing everything in them. so in the place where the desk used to be, there will just be 4 big bins... one for each drawer that used to stand in its place. and sadly, it has to be that way because (for all of my seriously horrible memory) i tend to be able to remember the location of things. so if i need my old SAT scores for some whack reason, i can call home and tell my mom to unstack those suckers, get into the 2nd bin, pull out the envelope, tell me what it is, and then carefully replace it all in the same order... otherwise, this system won't work. *sigh* it all frustrates me... i hate packing and unpacking, but i also hate that i'll leave my room at my parents' house with more clutter than it already has. and it has a lot. i need to go at it with a large dumpster and a shreder. and i need to void myself of all sentimentalism for one weekend while i tear it all apart. oh well... it won't happen before i move. i just better have time to at least transfer things into the bins, or else my new apartment will be stuffed to the gills and completely inoperable. oh yeah, and i have to go there about 3 times next week prior to the move to take care of business, and after that i will then have to envision how much room i have for furniture and decide what to take and what to leave. eesh. anybody want to take over my life just for this one week??? posting may subside temporarily by the sounds of all this crap.

oh yeah, and if you happen to post after using the microsoft office suite, then be forewarned that obsessive ctrl+s habits may screw you up. since my computer is aging, i save after every couple sentences when writing a paper. so i did it at one point during this post without thinking because i had just been writing a word document. yeah, it started publishing it. not great, but thankfully it wasn't a delete command or something. and now i notice that they do warn you down at the bottom. oh well. just a heads up for those who wanted to know.

P.S. Keep them in your prayers.
