Monster Pumpkin

There's a pumpkin carving contest between the departments where I work.

More than likely, most of the pumpkins will be made with the help of stencils or only be a plain face carved out.

I like to think that I'm better than that.




Do you agree?

Useless Sci-Fi conjecture

What if the Galactic Senate in Star Wars was more like a Georgia courthouse circa 1925? Y'know, where everybody had some kind of weapon on their person.

Senator Palpatine: "I move that Chancellor Valorum be removed from office for-" :BANG:
Chancellor Valorum: "I move that Senator Palpatine stay dead."
The blue guy with the tails on his head: "Second."
CV: "Those in favor."
Everybody: "Aye."
CV: "Alright then, Trade Federation. Knock it off with the embargo, or you get the same as him." :points to Palpatine's body being taken outside:

See? Everything works out.

"Like a slow burn, the days pass by. Knowing and lovingly embracing one another to create our past, our memories, and our lives."

It's a bit fluffy and saccharine to be sure, but I like it. I just felt like writing something you'd see on one of those Mary Englebright calenders with ~Anonymous after it. Only it's not anonymous, because I wrote it. So it'd have a ~Kelly Sorenson after it instead.

Just like this blog should have more posts in it.

About Me

A little over three years ago, on my first blog on MySpace, I got the idea to make a post that was nothing but entirely random facts about myself. I was inspired to write it by all the bland surveys and questionnaires that never really offered any insight into who a person was, only what time they woke up that day or if they'd washed their car lately.

At first, it was a bit difficult to think of things to write, but once I got a few down it got a lot easier. About a year passed and I did another, and yet another a year or so after that. I even did one on here. With all these micro-exposés running around you'd think I'd have run out of facts about me. Well, I haven't. But they are getting a bit harder to come by.

I've found out recently that I'm able to scratch almost any part of my body without using my hands. At least without using my fingers.

If a droplet of water lands on my eye, be it tepid, cold or hot, I don't blink or anything. It's almost like rain on a windshield.

I feel like I'm a robot or android whenever that happens.

I'm really good at opening the microwave door just as the timer ends so I don't have to hear the beep. My ultimate goal is to consistently open the door when the timer reads :00. I've seen it done before, and I've done it twice myself.

I'm a very good wheelchair pusher.

I've had the same blanket for almost 20 years I think, if not more. You're never too old for Mickey Mouse.

Kind of like with the microwave, I can turn on the garbage disposal just long enough to clear any obstruction so the water will drain, and not harm any silverware that might be in there.

If I'm walking, and realize I need to turn, my leading foot will stop on the ground, and quickly swing in the direction I need to go. If you saw it in action you'd think my foot was having a seizure.

I have been published before.

I'm the uncle with all the cool toys. Some are actual toys (my personal Nerf armory) and some are technically toys (electric and acoustic guitars, PS2, 360, DSLite).

I think I may possibly, though not for sure, prefer British music over American music. The feel is just entirely different for me. Green Day is still my favorite band though.

Green Day has been my favorite band for over 15 years now. No breaks either. June '94 to the present :)

I can't wait until next year when I can start saying 'Twenty-Ten.' That's when the future really starts!

I'm a very adaptive person. I may not like it when I need to adapt to something new, but it doesn't take long before it becomes natural for me.

I'm still Mormon. And someone still thinks that's funny. It wouldn't be right if she didn't.

:sigh:

I've never had so much trouble with a post before.

I tried writing a heartfelt story but I couldn't get past the first couple sentences. I tried to write an explanation of what happened, but it's already obvious what happened. I'm not even sure if this iteration of this post is going to work out or not. My mind is just kinda scrambled at the moment.

I've been miserable and cutting myself off from my friends and family, and I lashed out at one of the people that's been there for me time and again simply because she found the humor in a situation when I was too angry and indignant to see it myself.

Did I realize I was being a colossal jackass? No, I kept making it worse like any jackass who doesn't see a helping hand for what it is, and instead attacks the one holding it out. When I calmed down and came back, I found out that my friend was gone. I'd succeeded in pushing away someone who mattered more to me than anything that isn't my family.

A kind of stinging numbness took over. A legitimate worry that I've lost something very important. I haven't been able to eat, sleep or function properly. And this only happened yesterday. Can you imagine what prolonged exposure to this will do to me? Probably teach me not to be an unmitigated asshole to my friends for no reason, but that lesson has been learned.

I'm genuinely worried this is it.

The sight I like

Like a low hanging ceiling, softly lit and threatening collapse, the winter clouds were both peaceful and ominous. - Me.

I just love how low overcast skies look at night during the winter. You're not quite sure if they're going to give us snow or just stay serenely inactive. I don't want to brag, but that up there is essentially poetry. It's also almost 2:30 and I need to get up at 9 for work from 10 to whenever.
