I'm having so much fun

2025-09-05

So it's about 8:05 and I'm writing this on nano. I have graduated to the first panel of the xkcd "Real Programmers" comic from all those years ago. Today I decided to bite the bullet and paid the $36 to become an ARPA member.

Just now I took a moment away from typing to play with the dog and his pineapple. I love him. I'm happy. It feels kind of like the other shoe will drop, but I'm enjoying myself right now at least. I really should go shopping though. This is a particularly turbulent stream of consciousness entry, eh? I almost have the urge to go buy a book about programming. Maybe I should. I can't do this all through self study. It's an inefficient use of time to discover everything for myself this way, even if it is fun and what I love to do.

He enjoyed the play, now he's smiling at me. What else did I do? Oh right. I wrote out my page on visual media today. Started with an article on the Futurama episode Godfellas since it's my favorite. Next will be the Paranoia Agent that has the process of animation in it.

But that's not important right now. I need to get good rest for tomorrow's party. I'm so happy to have good friends. I'm crying a little. Not sure if it's out of joy or because I'm afraid of losing it and sad that I know I must, as everything passes. More reason to get practicing.
