Yes, I would LOVE to get fat, thanks for asking.

I had an epiphany this morning. I realized that I am such a pleasant and happy individual when I have been properly caffeinated. No seriously, if I seem super bitchy [excuse my language] on certain days or at certain times, it's probably because I didn't have enough time to grab coffee. Or I did and the caffeine wore off.

I was walking to class after going to Peet's this morning, thinking about how wonderful it would be to drink 4 or 5 cups of coffee just to get a caffeine high, just for fun. And then I realized:

a) I'm addicted to caffeine. Oh wait, I realized this a few months back when I got a caffeine-withdrawal-induced-migrane two days in a row when I was too busy in the morning to get coffee before class.

b) Caffeine high = happiness. Wait...isn't that what people tell themselves when they get addicted to drugs? That it's perfectly harmless and it makes them happy. Except I also tell myself it's perfectly legal. I find it alarming that I am impulsively tempted to down caffeine just for funsies.

I also realized that I'm starting to use sarcasm a bit too much to get through my day. Sometimes I wonder if my friends get sick of it. And I worry that I'm starting to be too sarcastic around people I've either just met or don't know well enough. I should start being more careful...

A friend just asked me who I was going to the garlic festival with. I replied, "My pet garlic."

'nuff said.

Sarcasm and Meeting an Old Man

This made me laugh. Well, I mean, it's really NOT funny. But because it's not funny, it actually is. I used to think that I was pretty sarcastic. That side of me has slowly but surely disappeared. Perhaps this is a good thing. I guess when sarcasm isn't directed at you in a hostile situation, it can be fun.

HMMM...well, I guess I'm still sarcastic to certain people. Like Miss Lee. And my mother.

On another note, I was at a master's dinner today and the guest speaker was Dr. Sidney Harman. He has a wikipedia page. Legit.

Anyway, he's an extremely successful business man and entrepreneur. His resume and list of achievements is quite long. Well, you figured it would be since he is 91 years old. UH he looks, and is, physically well as if he were an extremely healthy active 63 year old. My hypochondriac-yet-actually-healthy-70-something-year-old grandmother wouldn't stand a chance against him. Heck, maybe I wouldn't. Seriously, this guy is amazing. At 91 years old, he's teaching, flying around, doing business, maintaining a lovely marriage with his wife Congresswoman Jane Harman. He was so cute when she called in the middle of his talk and he picked up just to say hi :)

I just thought that I'd put this out there because meeting a cute 91 year old man who will probably live another 30 years made my day. He remembers WWII. Simply amazing :)
