Friday Figures: Cat Space

The lights are out.
I blindly make my way to my side of the bed.
I get under the covers,
And go to lay down.
SUDDENLY!
The side of my face falls onto not a pillow,
but a soft, furry thing.
I hear a soft, "Meow."
I try to hold my breath, but to no avail! I let all of my air go in an exhale right before I sat my head down!
I breathe, the smell of litter and fur darts into my nasal cavity.
I feel it, the twitch in my eye... *twitch*...*twitch*twitch*...
I run to the medicine cabinet and dry swallow two benadryl, how soon until I feel their effect?
Not soon enough.... Next time cat, I shall have my vengeance!!! I swear I will sneeze ON you next time!!! *Ken falls back into the shadows*

Ahhh!!! Friday Figures!!!

It would appear that DA KEN has lost track of the time and won't make his deadline for Friday Figures as I can't get to a computer in time. So... In the future I'll remember to post the figure when I wake up, look, I'll even set an alarm. See? Ok, well I didn't actually set one, but I will! Tomorrow, I promise. If I don't no doubt Lady Scarlet will get on my case, her or Robin Hood, that brigand.... Anyways, so here's today's figure!

lol

Behold! It's a stickman drowning! Alright Ladies and Gentlemen, that's it, I'm done, goodnight!

I just pulled a 9 hour shift working on a research paper that I'm almost done with. I think I deserve to play a couple rounds of the HALO beta.

Sooo... I've been on a graph kick lately... I'm sure I'll post something of substance eventually, but for now enjoy a graph regarding information I collected during my Men's Group.

The Two More Weeks List

There's a often a lot of feelings that come along with the closing of a semester. For those of us that are students, it marks the end of a year to be followed by a three month hiatus of normal school life. For those of us that aren't students, well if you know any students well then this is a significant time period for you as well. Finals are right around the corner, going to class for the final few classes becomes increasingly difficult, the scent of summer with its hot breezes to run from and cool pools to swim in becomes entirely too enticing. The lust for freedom from stress becomes overwhelming. Some throw in the towel, some finish strong. I've done both to be perfectly honest. This time around, I'm hoping to be part of the latter group. I've got a final report due in two weeks, and a cell bio final on the same day. My project in my lab is on the brink of being successful. Everything is coming together. However, I can't just sit idle and wait for it to come to me. This past semester has taught me a lot about being idle. About waiting, biding your time, and waiting for the time to be right. About when it's good to be patient, and when it's not. About what it means to be busy. What it means to give something everything that you've got. What it means to work towards that goal, and maybe, just possibly, succeed. I've got two more weeks left of classes. Two more weeks of studying hard on top of my other classes for cell bio, working on and finishing my lab report, and completing my project in the lab I work in. Two more weeks of balancing academics with church with my social circle with my lab and with my marriage. Afterwards I might just have a good rest. But for now I must work and push through the exhaustion that I feel. "Don't ask for it, go out and win it on your own. Do that and you will succeed." - Renton Thurston, Eureka seveN. It's an interesting quote imo, and I like it. I think I'll keep it close to me.
