I have no idea what to blog about, so this is all impromptu. Just wanted to warn you.

Today’s been interesting. I’ve had a chance to sit around and talk to some friends since today was a Sunday without plans. My mom finally caught the cold that’s been circulating around the house so she was down for the count and unable to plan anything. 🙂 I talked to oodles of people about oodles of things. And it’s been nice. The variances in conversation were amazing, especially when I had three completely different topics going on with three completely different people. *That* gets confusing.

Guan IMed me this afternoon about a really funny typo he caught in my blog, and we eventually wound our way to talking about Philip Greenspun. (Don’t worry, this won’t turn into another I-Should-Rule-The-World rant.) In particular, Philip Greenspun’s latest vacation with his latest newly-upgraded girlfriend. When I was in Cambridge he was steady with Eve Andersson. Now, wouldn’t you know it, he’s dumped poor, cute little Eve and is going out with the woman I stayed with in Cambridge. Curiouser and curiouser. I never would have imagined Kyle (the woman) Philip together, especially after some of the things Kyle said about him while I was there. We had some funny conversations about Phil. But, knowing they’ve been together for a while, I wonder when he’ll upgrade again. It seems those people are constantly switching around and I find that a bit… creepy. Turns out Kyle had three serious boyfriends in the past year, and who knows with Philip. He’s probably still off somewhere taking nudie pictures again.

I’m so glad I’m not going to MIT.

Guan and I decided their lives sound way too much like a soap opera. Imagine it, ‘As Cambridge Turns.’ We could pitch it to HBO and they’d eat it up. And as Guan says, the best part would be the disclaimer at the end of the credits, “This is entirely fictional and not based on any actual persons.” (Sorry, not an exact quote from Guan, but close enough.) And, of course, it’d be as accurate has humanly possible, right down to Philip’s dog. It’d be hilarious. Geeks revenge, showing the true lives behind the “saviors” of web services.

That’s so evil. That’s what you get from lazy Sunday afternoon discussions. Not sure the evil part is so good on a Sunday, though. 🙂

On a completely vain and utterly pointless note, I’ve had a nice hair-day, so I have a superficial smile on my face. 🙂 Also, some friends might be coming up for a visit from Florida, which is a lot more exciting than even curls without frizziness. They’re both charming young gentlemen that I met in Italy and went on a road trip with through Switzerland. (it was a big youth trip, I was 12, and there were tons of chaperones. *I’m* not in ‘As Cambridge Turns.’) I kept tabs with the younger of the two – Nate – and I’ve gone to see him a few times in Florida. But the other one, Chris, he went off to Miami, had some troubles, then left on a mission for his church. Now he’s back and guess what? He’s coming up to Virginia to school, so he and Nate are going on a road trip. They’re going to come stay with me for a while so we can catch up and I can show them around Washington. It’ll be great to see them again. It’ll be nice to see Nate again now that I’m not sick (the last few times I went I had a really bad brain infection, so I wasn’t quite myself.) And as far as Chris, I can’t wait to see what he’s like after five years. Nate says Chris is excited to come see me, and that he kept his promise when he told me when we said goodbye in Italy that he’d “never forget” me. One… two… three… awwwwww. 🙂 Isn’t that cute?

Happy visitors to end the summer will be a nice thing. Now I need plans for the fall… Any ideas?
