Steve-tastic

Okay everybody, once again nothing much has happened worth mentioning so it looks like it's time for another mini post.

-Australia Tickets Have Been Booked!
Despite the above exclamation point, this does not overly excite me. The trip is still half a year away. Oddly, while I'm unable to actually visualize the trip itself at this point, I'm able to imagine, and indeed look forward to, the plane ride over. All told, it'll be over 17 hours in the air. Now, no one really finds air travel that pleasurable, so I've got to figure it's some kind pseudo-masochistic impulse on my part. I think that at some level I enjoy these tests of endurance. For more examples of this check out the Fight to Survive blog, specifically the latest series of posts about Iron-man Laser Questing.

-Deluge of Essays and Tests!
Seriously, I've had to many projects to do lately. I've got a 10 page paper due Friday which is causing me grief, and a group presentation and 2 final exam essays the next week. I find this annoying.

-The DTR Talk With Kaylee!
Well, I promised results last time, and I sure do wish I could deliver. The truth is, she hasn't made any mention on the promised talk since my last post. I've seen her once since then, but no talk happened. Has victory been robbed from me? Perhaps. But don't worry, I'm not about to quit yet. I'm not gonna to bring up the talk, but I'm going to use every single passive aggressive trick I've learned from my angsty teenage years to force her to bring it up. I'm going to be mopey, surly, and generally sullen until she's so annoyed by my behaviour that she has to start a talk. A childish strategy to be sure, but one that I'm a master of. Of course, all this may be unnecessary seeing as I haven't spoken to her in weeks.

-Road Trip to Vancouver?
In related news, Peter, Chelsea, and Kaylee have invited me to join them in a roadtrip to BC in April. It almost goes without saying that this is pretty weird. Won't everybody find it awkward if I'm on this trip seeing as what's happening with Kaylee? Nevertheless, I've decided to go (if my schedule permits.) I'm confident that the awkward will minimally affect me, and maybe even give me some kind of advantage in my draconian perception. But mainly I'm doing this trip for my fans. If you'll recall my camping trip story, you can perhaps sense that the ingredients are in place for yet another disaster. Naturally, this will make for some pretty good reading on this blog. Seriously, with Peter's inability to deal with stress, Chelsea's rage and control issues, Kaylee's neurosis (as evidenced by her actually dating me at one point,) and my smug jackassery, this will be a very memorable trip.

-Christmas Stuff!
It seems to me that it's too early to even think about Christmas, but since everyone else is doing it I have no choice but to comply. First of all, I have to set the record straight: I DON"T hate Christmas. It's not my favourite season, but some people seem to think that I'm against the whole thing. To be fair, I do hate Christmas decorations, music, and a good portion of the food. I'm a fan of pretty much everything else.
Secondly, you all must be wanting to shower me with presents for giving you all such a great blog. The best present you can give me is a comment on the blog.

-Last Man Standing!
While we're on the subject of blogs, I'd like to point that out of all my friends doing blogs right now, I'm the only one still updating. Nobody else had updated for a long time, (except for Fight to Survive, but it's going really slowly.) Being the optimistic fool I am, I check for updates everyday, and each time I'm faced with disappointment.

Anyhoo, that's all I can think of for now. I feel pretty bad about screwing everybody over with two short updates in a row. Hopefully, I'll have a good story to present soon, but if not I'll at least try to make another list of Words That Need to Make a Comeback or something like that, (preferably something better.)

This Update Won't Cop Out When There's Danger All About

First off, a quick message to all the Steve-haters out there: The last post counted as, like, 4 posts because it was so long. Therefore, this post isn't late, but rather ridiculously early. Kind of makes you feel like a dumbass for saying that I suck, doesn't it? Oh, I think it does.

Now that the rebuttal is out of the way, back to business. I have just one thing to say about this post: It's going to suck.

The truth is, nothing awesome has happened to me lately. Sure, I've been out with friends and have gone to and thrown a couple of parties, but nothing amazing really arose from them. I've got nothing to work with. But the people have spoken. My fans (except amanda,) have generally been patient and they deserve a post. This half-assed post may lose me a lot of those fans....

Anyhoo, here's what's new in the world of Steve:

- Smallville!
I recently borrowed from a cousin 5 seasons of the teen drama Smallville and I've been watching it a superhuman (hehehe) pace. You may be asking why I'd be so obsessed with a teen drama. Here's some of the reasons:

1) It's Superman. Superheros rock. I learned to read at the tender age of 4 months old from comic books, and no matter waht you all think, they are the greates things on Earth. Seriously. I'm going to punch the next person who says that comic books are stupid right in their dirty lying mouth.

2) Guest appearences galore. Already theres the Flash, Aquaman, and Green Arrow. Sure, they all may be second teir, but it's a sign of things to come. And the biggest thing to come? The baddest mofo ever: Batman. He may not be scheduled, or even hinted at, but Batman needs to be in that show. Heck, Batman's probably been in most of the episodes already, but we couldn't ssee him because he's a ninja.

3) There's a tiny chance that they may kill of Lana. It's hard to express how much I hate Lana. I just hate her so damn much.

4) Actually, I think that's it. I'm pretty much out of reasons.


-Midterms!
My major midterms have almost all passed. I have two papers due by Friday this week, but I still haven't started them because I like to make things challenging in my life. Some guys climb mountains and wrestle cougars, I procrasitinate and projects worth 50% of my grade.


-Exciting Shampooing!
I'm about to tell you guys a secret I've been hiding for years. Whenever I wash my hair, I only lather and rinse. I never repeat. Recently, that all changed. The other day I decided to repeat on a lark. To be honest, I'm disappointed with the results. First off, with the rate my hair loss has been going, I think I may have inadvertantly speeded things up. Secondly, my hair suck today. I look like something out of the 70s. From now on, I'm not going to do things the way the shampoo bottle recommends. I'm doing things my way.


-Good Story on the Horizon?
For months, readers have been thrilled by my exploits with the weird-relationship-type-thing I've had going with Kaylee. Last weekend, I may have taken steps towards winning this conflict. I've tricked her into initiating a talk. I've won the game of chicken. I'm telling you guys, big things are on the horizon. We're having what Connie would describe as the DTR Talk (Defining the Relationship Talk.) When this talk takes place, I think we'll be 100% broken up, and you know what that means. That's right: I WIN. I'm feeling pretty psyched about the talk. Having watched over 27 hours of Smallville in the last couple of days, I'm now a master of WB Relationship lingo. Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion.


-My Car!
I got my tires changed to winter tire yesterday! Awesome! During inspection, the mechanic found I was leaking transmission fluid! It'll cost $200 to fix! Awesome!


-Murder Mystery Party!
I went to a Murder Mystery Party the other day. Those things are lots of fun. I may do a post on them at a later date, but probably not.


-I Grew a Beard!
Soon afterwards, I shaved it off.


That's pretty much all the excitement you've been missing lately. Let this be a lesson to you. When you hassle me for an update, you end up getting shitty posts. You've been warned.
