i gotta say.

i've got to say, it has to be awfully depressing to live in the same city/county for your entire life.  it's depressing enough knowing i've lived in kansas my whole life.. but even moreso, to have lived in the same house for over 55 years...  that'd be the most depressing thing ever.  

i'm referring to my dumbass neighbor.  he's lived in that house since he was born.  and he's over 55.  i guess it'd be nice not to have to pay a mortgage 'cos you're living in your dead parent's house.. but seriously?  i don't think i'd have felt like i'd lived.  whatever though.

on an unrelated note:

i was up until about 1.30a today studying for a midterm.  about 4a i was awoken to the sound of ruby barking/snarling incessantly at the bedroom door.  i don't know what the hell she was barking at, but it scared the hell out of me.  and then, i realized the power was out, which made it worse.  it was totally silent in the house, except for ruby's barking.  i finally fell back to sleep at around 6.15a, and had to be back up for work by 7a.  i slept through my alarm.  and was late for work.  grr!  so, i got about 4.5 hours of sleep last night.  i'd love to go to bed early tonight, but i'll be studying for my western civ (barf) midterm tonight.

oy.  later folks.
