Disillusionment, or obligatory post of angst

[new_kate]

So yesterday, around 2 am, while spectacularly drunk I got this idea that 5 years of doing the same job got me into a rut and shrunk my brain to a pea size. Because.

1) I seem to have lost all ability to generate plots
2) I forgot half of the multiplication table
3) I lost my antique Fallout CD-ROM somewhere in my room and have been looking for it for days without any success
4) I can't finish reading the book I started in February
5) I was still up and drunk all by myself at 2 am.

So, suitably terrified, I took the first online IQ test I came across and scored like I've never scored before, even out of my usual band by two points. This triumph of intellect was closely followed by drunkenly falling down the stairs, eating junk food in the middle of the night and attempting to brush my teeth with liquid handsoap.

So yes. I believe it's safe to say that online IQ tests are a total rubbish. Still, somehow I kinda feel better about myself, so they clearly do some good ^__^

Ohnoes! Drinking all by yourself is the worst sign of all @_@

Well, we started out as a team. I was, as per usual, the last (wo)man standing.
It always follows the same pattern.
Me: So you see, the Mesopotamian myths...
Everybody else: zzz...
Me: Oh. Okay. Internet! Teacher, mother, secret lover!
Husband: Just don't mess with my downoadzzz...

*random note* Your Moriarti remark just can't leave my head...

Well. Granted, they are not bishies. Not by a long way. But canonnically they both skinny amd toned just like Minecura boys, so I say - bring on the wet intellectual hatesex to the backdrop of pretty mountain scenery!

See, the sad part is, I was like, SQUEE! Mesopotamian myths!

*would have to second that* Especially since I was researching merman, and ended up reading about Enki in wiki recently (long story) and there was a reference to Snow Crash! hee! Enki the proto-hacker!

umm... right. *slinks geekily away*

That article in wiki is so bizarre! And now I totally have to read Snow Crach *adds to the list* Proto-hacker!
My favourite part about Enki is probably that green eyeshadow he uses when he really wants to tart it up, and also the way he's so obsessive-compulsive with the incest ^__^

oh, you sooooo must read Snow Crash -- but I could fanboi Neal Stephenson endlessly. ^_^;;

obsessive-compulsive with the incest

sounds like Saiyuki *cough* I mean. Nothing. *glares at AU Gyokumen-Kousho*

That article is bizarre. I love how all the Sumerian myths preempt the "originals" that other cultures come up with later--although I still prefer Milton's version of the Flood. *G*

(Your Fuuma icon is oddly appropriate for the mythology discussion. XD)

No, the really sad part is that I don't have enough of you in my life and also that random geekiness is considered to be such a huge social misconduct. What's up with that? When Bruce from next door starts dropping his pants and mooning everybody, he's just merry. But try saying something about matriarchy or temple prostitution while discussing the ever-popular "all men are bastards" topic, and everybody blinks nervously and maneuveres you away from the drink refills *sigh*

Well, clearly, mooning is an expression of creativity and wit, while you're just regurgitating history lessons. *ducks stones*
