This may technically be on the same day as the last post, but I wanted to include a few more things in the record. As of now my neck injury sustained at eagle mountain is receding. This is good, as the neck stiffness was getting old fast. Thank science for adrenaline and the like to allow me to complete the day of tubing fun times.
Feeling better today, as I predicted, because of sleep, a steven king book i began reading and some decent breakfast. Not helped, of course, by the terribly buggy nature of fallout new vegas. Really wish I did not have to rely so exclusivley on auto saves. Maybe its for the best, I should continue reading my book. Oh, just remembered that my wrist also stopped hurting this morning, which is awesome because that was a major annoyance. I think thats all, not too much else to mention, good night and good luck.

elportalo updato
good day today, went to el portal with brianna marquardsen and andre under the pretext of getting new tires for my car, got some ink for my printer, finished atlas shrugged, also got a tea kettle and a sauce pan. Pretty sweet, am I right? Kinda tired now though, all christmased out because of the late night nature of our christmas-seafood dinner tonight and the resultant present opening. Also, andre, stop reading this over my shoulder because that is not even that funny. I am way more funny than you. No, in reality. The presents were great, I love being with the family and all that but I think I may just need some time to myself. I seemed to get that alot more in st. cloud than I do here, understandably, so I think the excessive human contact is wearing on me somewhat. Kind of bummed over all, hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow. Yeah, sleep and a new book will do that much for me. Nothing I cant handle.
Anyways, I am really looking forward to the yearly twilight zone marathon coming up on new year. I hope to go bowling as well, possibly as a family activity, but it may not happen...I dont know, it would be fun I think.
Oh, for future reference, by myself, I did really well this last semester, so I should do that again this next one. Straight A's in this critical semester before my summer REU applications go out is a great thing as far as my competetiveness in the selection process. I simply want to put this to writing that I must study just as hard as I did before, probably harder, in order to keep this up, because a 3.5 gpa by the end of my collage career would be a great acheivement for me. There, that is my goal I am embarking upon this very night: 3.5 gpa or better by may 2012.
Awesome, well, the writing wasint all that well...written, however I think I've decided that this is basically a record of MY life, so few people read this it may as well be a personal diary, I simply find this easier to do than writing in a physical one. In that sense I care less about my prose. It's theraputic in a sense, much like the meditation I do sometimes which I should really get back to doing. Right now, I think I'll just focus on my new book, my now aching wrist and sleep.

Holiday Spirits
What ho, my friends, I come bearing gifts for all! Yes, you guessed it, the gift is my prose; the prose which you have come to look forward to each day, due to my daily update promise, to bring your day to new, uncharted heights. I will say right now that I NEVER go back on a promise. Which is why I have been updating several times in a month, if you're lucky. Well thats all on that subject, lets move on to something new that happened to me recently. Lets take today, for instance.
I'm beginning to lose faith in my brother and his issues he's dealing with. Initially, he was standing ready to receive a loan of some notable sum from me to help pay for his engagement ring, however at the last minute he decided not to rely on my help but instead opt for getting the money from my father. I guess it is nice having all my monies open for eating at el portal many times for this next week, however I still feel off...as if I missed an important bonding opportunity with my brother, who has always been somewhat distant from me since childhood. As if this is some kind of expression as to how uncomfortable he is relying on his brother rather than the parents. I hoped to kindle this trust, as we had been associating much more ever since he came back from an academic year in St. Petersburg.
Well, in any case, I am very satisfied with life at this time. Of course, there could always be more family, more friends, more solitude, but as those factors often conflict, I should simply be thankful for what I have at this time of the year. Goddamn though, its really freaking cold in this house. I'd like to change that, haha.
Almost done with Atlas Shrugged. I know, I can almost hear you say "its about time! you first told us about that in september!" Yeah...After blowing through the first portion the second portion bogged down with excessive philosophical jargon. Slogging through that took some time, in addition, I had found myself working much harder at University this year than I usually do. And, as a result, I received top marks in all my courses. This I suppose is favorable to completing a book quickly, but none the less I would like to move on to another. I believe I will read a simple, trashy novel, possibly a tom clancy, steven king or dean koontz. Getting Shrugged under my belt is great, but I just need some time to relax with what I read for awhile; something I dont fall asleep after reading literally 2 pages. Ah! reading is so amazing. So is Fallout: New Vegas though.
Kind of upset about some of my older friends I havent had the chance to hang with recently. Over the summer I was with mike, zach and leah quite alot, however now they seem to deliberatly ignore or bypass my company. For instance, Mike went to Tron in theaters without even asking me if I might come with. Other than that he just seems to seldom return my calls. I dont know, I may have been a shitty friend throughout the semester, but I've been working my tail off in my course work and really havent spent time with much of anyone. I simply embraced my solitude. Hard to come back to a friendship after four months of virtually no contact, I guess. Oh well...I've done it before, I suppose I'll have to go through the favor song and dance once again, just like after spring semester '10. Buh. Well its been fun talking to you, oh intangible person whom shall never read this, wish me luck in my relationship frustrations. Oh did I mention my romantic illusions? I didint? shucks, well, for another time, I will be off to sleep soon.
