While studying for my microbiology test, I realized that our microscopes remind me of Johnny 5 from Short Circuit. Ah, the good old days!

I was reminded of my fanatic MMORPG days as a little squee of delight escaped my lips when I discovered Tweety is posting again. It’s been ages since I’ve played EverQuest, Dark Age of Camelot, or World of Warcraft but I still miss them from time to time.

Speaking of geekery, I’m a kid?

David Anders, Taye Diggs and Amy Brenneman all in one episode of Grey’s Anatomy?! I think my fan girl crush-o-meter might be experiencing a serious meltdown.

P.S. — This is me trying to avoid studying for my nursing lecture final that I must take tomorrow at 8a.

Pointless Things to Ponder:

Do they call it Wii wrist these days?

I was piddling around on the Internet and decided to set up an Internet link directory. Silly, I know. It’s not like I need something else to do. I’m still working on the layout, but I thought I’d let ya’ll know about it in case you were interested in being listed in a link directory. I have several special categories (Gambling Directory, Texas Directory, Gay & Lesbian Directory, MySpace Directory, Nursing Directory, MMA & UFC Directory and Games Directory), and most of the general ones. If you don’t feel there’s a good home for one of your sites, just suggest a new category and I’ll take care of it.

Come one, Come all! Feel free to spread the word about my new web directory.

Since I’m sure nobody else has mentioned it to you, I thought I’d share the news that a release date for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been announced.

Even though I’m nearing 30, I still met the news of the pre-order of the seventh and final chapter of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series with joy. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released on July 21, 2007. You can order your copy now through Amazon.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be available in a standard edition and a deluxe edition.

There’s a song on the radio by Panic! At The Disco called I Write Sins Not Tragedies that is getting a lot of air play right now. Part of the chorus is “Haven’t you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?” I find it amusing that the radio stations around here are bleeping out “God” like it’s the bad word.

I’ve heard some crazy rumors about Ted Murphy (the founder of PayPerPost) but I don’t believe any of them. See, there’s a different theory. It all started when Ted was only seven years old…

Ted grew up in a typical abysmal city, covered in too much concrete. His parents weren’t particularly fond of fuzzy mammals, so they ignored Ted’s plea for a pet. Being a resourceful and creative boy, Ted decided to adopt his own pet — a shiny red button! Ted loved his pet button and named her Sparky because she was the best button in the universe! Sparky was always there when he needed her, and he could take her everywhere with him in the pocket of his shorts.

One day after school, Ted’s babysitter took him to McDonald’s to play on the playground. Little Ted loved to play on the McDonald’s playground, but his favorite part of all was the ball pit. After having grand adventures in the ball pit, Ted reached into his pocket to tell Sparky about his day. But Sparky wasn’t there! Sparky must have fallen out while he was playing in the ball pit! Frantically, Ted dove into the balls, desperately searching for his beloved pet. Alas, he never found her.

From that day forward, Ted hated ball pits. With a passion. In order to extract revenge for the loss of his precious shiny red button, Ted founded PayPerPost in an effort to obliterate ALL ball pits from the face of the world! He thinks that if he can just get enough ads on blogs, then the ball pits will feel threatened and return Sparky to her loving owner.

Well, that’s the story I heard, anyway.

LikeBetter is a fun website. It’s figured out that my desk is messy, I’m right handed and several other things. I just wish it had a feature where I could look back at all the assumptions it made about me, and how many of them were right.

Are you like me?

How well do you know me?
