I've done that one before, but my friends list has changed a great deal since then. I had to play a little loose with the definition of "fucked," and decided IM could count as phone sex, but oh well.

Tomorrow I'm going to a coworker's home after work to learn phlebotomy. Go me!! A position has indeed opened up with The Portland Clinic, but 1. They want someone with a lot of experience, especially with pediatrics, and 2. I'd have to be available as a float--but the South and Tigard offices are damn near unreachable by bus. Grrr. I'm hoping to get at least a little experience in the actual office. It'll be hard to get a job as a phlebotomist if my only experience at it is in the home of a woman working in the lab!!

Also, for some reason: If I go to a website it doens't like for whatever reason, Mozilla Firefox closes. All of my browser windows and tabs close. Grrr!!!

Randomness!!

Devin (Tyson's younger brother) bought a concertina, which is like a small accordian. It came in the mail today, and he'd been waiting with childlike anticipation since he ordered it (FYI: Devin's 20, I believe). His unreserved unselfconscious sincere glee at owning one is somehow inspiring. Also, the first song he figured out is an SCA song (well, one sung by SCAdians, anyway).

The catalog that came in the box has harps in it, and harps I know of. Harps I know I want so bad OMG it hurts. Stoney End's Branwen makes me wibble. It's also $1500 in the bare-bones model (i.e. sharping levers only on C and F and no case).

I have the strangest thoughts sometimes. Have you ever really thought about the sun? There's a huge nuclear reaction happening. It's so far away it takes eight minutes for anything to get here from it. But it's so huge that even from that distance, when we're facing it we can see no other celestial objects except occasionally our moon. It makes the entire sky light, and provides all the energy on our planet (including geothermal if you go back far enough). The radiation from this nuclear reaction is so strong that our skin reacts by turning red or brown and eventually getting wrinkly and perhaps cancerous. It rules the sleeping habits of every creature that sleeps, and all the plant life on our planet seems to spend a lot of time trying to catch as much of the light and warmth as possible. Sometimes its radiation will do things like create pale curtains of light in the northern and southern areas of the planet, and mess up our communication devices.

Just sit in the sun and think about it for a minute: all that light and warmth is from a huge nuclear fusion reaction.

I mean, seriously. If a nuclear reaction were happening down the street from you, and it glowed bright enough to allow you see everything around you, and made your skin feel warm when you were facing it, wouldn't you freak out? But it's eight light-minutes away, and instead we get all happy when we can see it and run around in its light and warmth. Even though it would hurt and damage us to actually look at it.

Also, say I'm sitting in a shadow and looking at a spot where the sun is shining. The sun is incredibly large. And all that energy spent eight minutes getting here...so it could shine on that spot, but not this spot. It's like sitting in Tyson's room where you can see Mt Hood--if I can see Mt Hood from his bed but not near the door, then conceivably, from Mt Hood I could see the bed but not the door.

Did you ever really think about the fact that "theology" means "god words"??

I have a weird brain. I don't know if I'm thinking Deep Thoughts, or if the hamster that is my brain just decided that its wheel seemed particularly attractive today, and yes a cup of coffee would be lovely, thank you.
