Today I have... Thread.

So, today, I decide to treat myself to lunch downtown.

I catch the free bus and I sit down next to some skinny old black guy. It looks like he's eating some kind of fruit, but it smelled funny, so I ask him what kind of fruit he's eating. It's actually a pickle. So we start up a conversation about pickles. :pickle:

I don't remember how it happened, but we eventually got into a conversation about gay rights, and then quickly into religion and how being gay is evil. So we talk a bit about religion. The guy is from Texas and extremely religious. I don't mind religious people, but I do mind people who are completely unsympathetic to non-believers. After a few comments about how "jus sayin, that's what I believe. god made adam and eve, not adam and steve, y'know", I would say something like "well, c'mon, can't you at least understand how this might not be convincing to an unbeliever?" and he gives me some non-answer like "it's not my place to judge people, that's god's job, btw them gays are going to hell". This conversation cycle looped a few times.

Heh, also, when I brought up technology and scientific advancement, he kept saying that anything humanity built or solved or cured was inspired by god. Also polio was sent by god to punish us. But I guess he decided we had enough torment, so he'd inspire the cure in Jonas Salk. Oh, also, he didn't believe we landed on the moon.

So, I was at the end of the ride at this point, so I tell him that was an interesting conversation and get off the bus. He gets off with me, and we bump fists and we walk off.

Now, this is where it gets weird, because he's following me. I don't know if he's necessarily following me, or just going the same way, but he follows me for like a few blocks. While he's following me, he's muttering "satan's gonna have a barbecue... satan's gonna have a barbecue..." He's close enough that I can hear him, but I don't think he's trying to converse with me. He's just trying to talk at me.

Eventually he goes his own way. It was a weird afternoon. I hope he's not a local, because I've had enough local bums give me nicknames. (One guy already nicknamed me "cheesecake", I don't need another one calling me "Sodom-kid" around town.)

Though lunch was great! *yawn*

Did some coding lessons with Ruby on CodeAcademy. I started with it yesterday night. I got 16% of the whole thing done so far. It's not too bad so far. I may try to see if I can find something for Java or Javascript in the future before I have to take a class on it next year. Since I already did Python a few years ago for a class I took, some of it feels familiar.

I got £60 worth of stuff at work but paid less than £20 because of staff testers and discounts. Ka-ching.

Yesterday I had a long day working on top of very little sleep, and conked the fuck out on the train ride home. I slept through seventeen stops, which is about an hour. I woke up two stations from home to a little kid staring at me over the back of his seat, who politely informed me, 'Lady, you snorin' real loud!'

Uups.

Fixed up my resume again big time and gone back and also revised some of the cover letters I sent out and making them stand out much more, while submitting another internship application today.

I added a ton of skills and shit that I didn't even realize that I could have on there along with what else I've been learning about right now so now both look a lot more interesting than they were before. I have a strong feeling that these are gonna help me much more than what I had before in case I don't hear back from the other internship position that I did that interview with last week.

I did a shitload of subnetting practice problems. It's coming to me more naturally now but I need more Class A network practice.

I had to take a week off from doing this because I had school shit to do but getting back to the studying now. It's not as hard as I thought it would be, I just gotta get faster at it and the shortcuts are really helping with that.

Got blinded multiple times by dudes abusing highbeams while driving back home. The winner and lead shitmonger being a dick who used his brights to try and force me to try and drive faster on a back road I was unfamiliar with which had noted sharp turns and fucking deer that might leap out and stand there. Fucker effectively blinded me because impatient asshole, and I could've gotten wrecked because of him.
