Ok, so I get a request. It's a simple request from a pregnant friend. "Go fold me a Yoda!". So I'm thinking, what? To which she replies (because pregnancy gives you mind reading powers) "Ya, you heard right. I want a Yoda folded out of paper for my desk.". Well, who am I to argue with a pregnant woman? I mean, studpidity is not something I can be accused of.
So I fold a Yoda. And it comes out great. So I post a picture here like I do of everything else I fold (well, except the millions of cranes. No one wants to see all those). And it explodes. For Reals. I am now getting more feedback messages than deviation messages. Which is rare. It is on the front page and is one of my most popular folds.
I have no idea why.

And in other news, I am lonely. It sucks. It's also one of the harsh realities of life that at some point you too will feel lonely. And not because there are no people in your life (unless you're a hermit I guess), but rather because it is impossible to be a social as you think you can be. You will miss the company of people you don't even know. It sucks. And the fact that I have a minor bipolar issue doesn't help. I mean, I have a weekly movie night with one set of neighbors, coffee and communal dinners with another neighbor, I'm on a first name/conversation basis with many of the local barmaids and barristas. I go out every friday with coworkers and talk with my family/friends back home at least once a week. I'm social. Life is wierd.
Have you ever felt like you're not living life to te fullest? Like there's some aspect of it that's being kept behind a curtain but you can't actually see the curtain? It's a terrible feeling. Life is good right now, so why should I fele this way? I should be content.
Along those lines, I've tried to compile a bucket list. Only problem is that the majority of my goals are so short term that I've accomplished them:
- Get a degree from McGill (Mining Engineering, check)
- Play an instrument (Bass Guitar, check)
- Learn to shave with a Straight Razor (check)
- Devote a year to excercise (hated it, check)
- Attend a comic convention (hated it, check)
- Eat a peach cobbler from Georgia (loved it, check)
- Pub crawl of Ireland
- Write and publish a novel.
that's it. That's my entire bucket list so far. Kinda sad.

In terms of what I've been up to, I've been readig the His Dark Materials trilogy, which was so fantastic. So Fantastic!. Currently reading the Rogue Squadran series. Up next is Les Miserables. Then maybe some light Vonnegut and Adams.
For Television, I've been mostly watching Community, waiting for seasons to end so I can watch all my favourites. Managed to get Boy Meets World on DVD from Amazon. Was not even aware they were all released together. Next I get the Fresh Prince. It will be awesome.
I suppose that's enough for now. So how you doin'?
