I keep randomly seeing strangers who resembled people that I know. I still remember the last time I went out with [livejournal.com profile] dragonfly66 to lunch I spotted a Paly student who might have been Cathy without the magenta highlights. I could've sworn that I saw Mekkie at the drugstore the other day but that's impossible. There was a guy at the supermarket who looked rather like [livejournal.com profile] eyepiece_simile's brother, albeit somewhat older, and it suddenly struck me that [livejournal.com profile] shakeitdown's significant other reminds me in appearance of an elementary school classmate of mine named Evan. Is there some kind of weird convention of genetic doubles (Project Helix participants?) going on that nobody's bothered to tell me about?

Oh, by the way-f you ever happen to see the rather melodramatically entitled docudrama "Murder at Harvard"-the actor playing the part of John Webster bears a really freaky resemblence to my behaviorism classmate, Bow Tie Man, down to the sideburns and glasses. I don't think that John Webster is good at disco dancing, though.

(I think that if you mentioned "bow tie man" to anyone at Harvard this past summer, they'd know to whom you're referring. I was sort of freaked out on the day of my final when he wasn't wearing his Harvard "veritas" logo bow tie and had ominous notions of flunking in my head just because something felt wrong with the universe.)

I've finally decided on a few New Year's resolutions. As I feel a bit idiotic for coming up with them so late, let's just claim that I prepared them in advance for the lunar new year at the end of this month. They are:

1) Say more nice things about people that I'm normally too shy to say.
2) Meditate more often; I haven't really since December 1, 2004. I could really stop doing the angsty freak-out all the time.
3) Go running around the neighborhood more often to exercise and meet some of my new neighbors.
4) Stop hitting the snooze button so much, i.e. fewer than 23 times (my all-time record).

On the trend of never quite knowing the time, I've been listening to a lot of seasonally inappropriate music lately, songs with words like "spring" or "summer" in them. And people keep giving me strange looks whenever I hum Christmas carols. I'll probably stop sometime in April, but I give no guarantees.

To my fellow classmates and IHL-ers: dear fluffy eena-chan will be visiting after school on Friday, so if you want to hang out with her this is your chance.

Hee, I sing "Let it Snow" whenever it snows, and many times when it hits 95 degrees. It doesn't say a thing about Christmas in it.

I also sing Walkin' on Sunshine and Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows at the drop of a hat. They are happy tunes, and the last one is so completely ridiculous that people have to smile even when they don't want to.

In fact, the more they don't want to, the less they can help it.

But about doubles, a friend of mine once swore to me he saw me singing in a metal band. She even had the same scar on her face.

But I don't sing in a metal band. I sing silly almost exclusively. LOL!

I have a tendency to hum "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" whenever I'm feeling terribly happy besides random Simon and Garfunkel songs. I also have this random tendency to sing to myself while going grocery shopping, which generally causes other shoppers to stare at me and/or look amused.

I love your Loki theme! Even with the computerized silliness it sounds like you've got quite a nice voice. And the accompanying Flash is hilarious!
