Writing programs and cleaning house. Not in that order

Okay, so I am not a tidy person. This shouldn't surprise anyone, but what occasionally would surprise someone is that I try. Not often, but like everyone once and a while, I go into this big "I'M GOING TO BE CLEAN NOW resolution type thing, even though it is rarely a thing that I actually do. Lately, I seem to have gone on one of those kicks I'm not sure what caused it. It might just be procrastination. but still. You know. It's a thing that I'm doing out. I spent 3 hours yesterday folding clothes. At least, I think it was three hours. I also spent the time listening to The Dresden Files Cold Days audio book.(I liked it. James Marsters has a nicer voice than John Glover, I think, but that's neither here nor there.) I'm fairly certain I didn't actually START folding the clothes until I started listening to the audio book, but I'm also not entirely sure. Oh well, not a thing I should worry about. I also moved a bunch of furniture. Actually, I say a bunch, but it was only one enormous wardrobe thing. By the way, while I was moving it, I realized it wasn't actually meant for storing clothes, it was a television cabinet, which explains so much about how uselessly, ridiculously deep it is and how tall the shelves are, and... well everything, I guess. It's just a big unwieldy thing that where the shelves are too large to be useful, and also it takes up a lot of space. So, you know. That's nice. Oh, also, there was a bunch of furniture I actually moved several days ago, but since that was of the time where I wasn't making daily posts, or at least I was making no attempt to, you won't really know that fact, unless I make a little note on it on THIS post. I should stop over explaining.

 Anyway, I moved it to the back corner of my room instead of the front corner of my room I really like it. It's weird how just moving something makes an entire room feel nicer. walking in, it makes the whole thing look and feel much larger. I wish I could show the world, but I didn't take any before pictures. Every time I make any change, I always think "is this nicer or not? I have no clue. I really should have a way to compare", at which point, of course, I suddenly realize that I in fact, have this magical device which can take visual records of things, on me literally all the time. Within hand's reach. But I didn't. So that was pretty dumb of me.

Anyway, I like the way that everything looks here a lot more. Anyway, I also spent a little bit of time programming yesterday. When I say little bit of time, I actually mean "The Whole Freakin' Day" and when I say "The Whole Freakin' Day", I actually mean like maybe an hour or two here and there sprinkled throughout the whole day, and then I spent the rest of the time procrastinating. I don't even know what on, but I certainly didn't get a lot of programming done. Anyway, I was trying to get started on new project. Well, I say new but it had a bunch of false starts. I'm writing to write out an app for writers, of which I know there are many, and most of them already better than mine, but it's a thing that I can do to actually get used to programming I guess. Also, I should try code academy again. Yes, I don't know any HTML5, but it's certainly a lot more useful than Visual Basic. I should really just do a HTML5 tutorial instead of trying to do this app in Visual Basic, but it's what I know I guess.

This took 25 minutes to write I guess. Plus the 10 minutes of rambling that I do for the 750. Also, other thoughts on reading/skimming this post: I use Anyways instead of anyway, I use both too much and I seem to despise editing, because even though I promised that I would, I didn't actually spend a lot of time editing this post

Quotes

The worst thing and the best thing about the internet, and I guess technology in general, are quotes. I mean being able to share your thoughts and feelings so easily is amazing, no doubt about it. But... well... they're so much better at it than I am. Even with the most personal things, there's something that someone will say which says whatever I want to say much better than I do. And then, I just want to give up, and just tell people to read that one instead. Kind of. Eugh. see? I can't even say this one properly

Okay, so I've been writing things every day for a while now

and I've figured out. Nothing. I think. I'm very self critical. And in case you didn't notice, I stopped posting what I wrote in the 750 on the other blog, to try and stop self censoring myself, but I'm not sure if it worked.

750 words

You miss a lot of context that way.

Also, I get the feeling that I'll completely neglect this. I'll try not to though, I like this place. Maybe I should start taking things from the other and paring and editing them

What I did today

So today I was so annoyed and frustrated and tired of my dad that I went out for a walk to escape. I didn't even have anything to do, I just left. I left my cell phone behind so he couldn't call.
I sat down at a park and wrote a letter to someone I didn't know and mailed it. I went to the library and checked out a book by Agatha Christie. I went to this weird plaza mall thing and watched random families shop for things. I had a Doctor Pepper. I went back to the park to watch the sunset. All in all, I thought it was a good way to survive the coming week without strangling him to death.

When I got home, I found out that my dad took my cell phone, saved all the numbers on it, and then started calling random people on it to find out where I was.

I shouldn't try to use the scientific method to try to understand my brain

Title is probably longer than this post. Also, I think this joke has been done before, by funnier people
