Multitasking is all well and good, but when I've got two chat programs running (for a total of four or five active chats), *and* am trying to watch Daria on my computer...well...my brain leeks out.

(Extra evidence: I totally know the difference between leeks and leaks. Actually, I don't, as I'm not really sure what a leek is other than 'edible', but I know it's the wrong word for the job)

But it's okay because I can glow in the dark now, so all our troubles are over because my brain had leaked out (ha!) anyways during camp today and yesterday.

SERIOUSLY! Knowing my general bitchery¹ and volunteeritis (especially in regards to girl scouts, ESPECIALLY in regards to Day Camp), I'm not totally shocked that I'm so worn out. But still, being over eighteen and no longer a program aide is crazy draining. No hour long lunch breaks for me. :(

It was totally radder last session when I could skieve off for an hour and a half to follow Blue around like a lost puppy dog and/or make sure she's eaten something hang out with people. Being responsible for a whole unit of girls, and therefore having to come back to the unit and eat with them? Totally le sigh.

ONTHEPLUSSIDE, I do still like working and playing and hanging out with them. I really do have an incredible unit --they are pretty enthusiastic, and do not tend to be THAT obnoxious. Plus, the PA's in my unit are awesome(damn you Eric!) wonderful!

((And to continue on the Origins thing, we decided during set-up to use 'Smurf' as our collective replacement curse word. The girls haven't quite figured out why we keep mentioning them. :D))

My voice is, of course, borked. We'll see if it's there enough to even warrent having a traditional 'No Voice Club' Thursday morning with Pony. Regardless, I am WAY psyched for the sixth grade sleepover tomorrow night --it basically involves herding eleven year olds around all night. And fire. Loooots of fire.

What else is there to say, really? I'm alive, awake, alert, enthusiastic. Lather, rinse, repeat. The people are amazing, the job is amazing, the weather is...well, way too smurfing hot, but that's par for the course, really. Yay girl scouts!

Apropos of nothing, I've done five hours of dancing in the past three days --three on Sunday, when I dragged Pickpocket with me to Oella, and two last night when I dragged DarkEric (See Maccy-Tu, I specified, just for you!) to SCD. Ohhhhh, lordy have I missed doing SCD. Luckily, I appear to not have forgotten everything, much. And I get to go next week, though the week after that I shall be in Caliland.

(EIGHT!)

Gyyuh, I should eat something, pack, shower, and sleep. Which involves ignoring the internet. And forgetting about all the lovely people on it. And not watching more Daria. I'm not sure which of those is most difficult.

Talk to you lot later!

MOOP!

1: Bitchery as in 'I am people's bitch'², not as in 'I am the meanest fucking bitch you ever met'
2: I am not trying to turn this into a footnote-orgy, but really, I probably ought to explain that. The really short version appears to be something along the lines of "I am people's bitch". The longer version will involve the word 'submissive' getting bandied about (probably incorrectly) and will eventually get written and posted³.
3: Also to write is my 'Oh good, I've gotten over myself' essay discussion thing re: shaving.

A leek is, essentially, a very, very large green onion. They are absolutely delectable, and, to me, one of the most underrated vegetables.

Sooooo....that amazing job you have? Could you be on the lookout for a pair of white knee-high gogo boots, size ten? I realize the likelihood of getting said boots is small, but hey, these things happen, right?

Anyway, if you happen across a pair, snag 'em for me and I'll paypal ya, 'kay?

Clearly you should find the local SCD group in the appropriate region of Caliland and make plans to go. 'cause you can do that, and it's cool.

This is pretty clearly true. Unlikely to happen, but true.

Found any Fozzies yet?

Yes! Hopefully it will still be there when I wander through next, and I will buy it for you.

See, you almost got it right. You specified for the second one, but your mention of an Eric a few lines above that one had no mention of which Eric.

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, curses!

The Eric who ruins the term 'awesome' for me is Eric (in elevators)

If you've got multiple chat programs, you can coalesce them! Take a look at Adium for the mac (or Pidgin for the PC). They allow you to combine, say, MSN, Yahoo, AIM, ICQ (I'm oooold!), Jabber (the LJ one), and whatever else. Which is nice, because then I can group one person's accounts all together and tell at a glance if "Kat" is online, rather than checking three programs for kdsorcy8772, sorcy_kat, and kdsorceress.

Curse you for beating me to this (metaphorical) punch!

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Ah, forgive me for not being clear enough. I do use Adium, and *love* it. But Adium does not (to the best of my knowledge) let you access IRC.

So I was running Adium and Colloquy as the two mentioned chat programs.

*doesn't even mention the 15 channels (okay they are mostly Not Active, but still!) she has open in just one program alone.. and then there's the IM and thepieshop and yarrrrr*

Butyar, i am terrible at multitasking too.. i start off to do one thing, get sidetrackt off into doing another thing along the way, remember yet another thing i needed to do whilst doing that, get halfway done with that third thing when i suddenly remember the first thing aaaaand Rinse & Repeat!

i suspect that my brains oozed from my cranium years ago and has not deigned to return since!
