Ada Lovelace, OG of CS
I would totally read my future daughter(or son) a bedtime story about 'imagination and science.' --
"Stratford says he wants to give young girls like his daughter "actual historical role models that show them that math and science and imagination are incredible tools that can shape their world." And he's chosen as his two heroines Mary Shelley, of "Frankenstein" fame -- the world's first science fiction writer, he calls her -- and Ada Byron, whom some regard as the world's first computer programmer."
Steve Job's biographer plans to write about the history of digital information--
"Lovelace certainly deserves the recognition. Born Augusta Ada Byron in 1815, she never met her father — her parents parted ways right after she was born. Instead, she was raised by her smart and strong-willed mother, Anne Isabella Milbanke. Noted for her intellect, Annabella, as she was known, was dubbed by Byron as “The Princess of Parallelograms.”"People who are trying to kill themselves with food
I always forget to draw the eyebrows when I'm drawing. Sometimes I forget the ears, too.
Summer officially begins on Thursday & I'm totally excited. I'm having lots of anxiety about making it through my final tomorrow, though. Dr. G has basically taken pity on me & gave me a really decent grade on the "penultimate" exam. Such a nerdy password he did for that one. I didn't find out what that word meant until Saturday while watching Supernatural. I doubt that's where he got it from.
I wonder if I could manage to go facebookless during the summer. I mean, I know I CAN, but I don't do well with constraints. My friend MS manages full-time without one so... surely I can do it for a measly 3 months.

Yoda one for me
I was just thinking about a moment last week that I had thought was hilarious, & I want to remember it.
This (kind of) friend of mine was telling MJ how he was sorry for puking in her sink, but he couldn't figure out the R2D2 trash can.
It's not you, it's me
Maybe it really is me though. I'm going to get a tattoo soon that says LOVERS ARE LUNATICS.

But anyway
I give up on that #PHOTOADAYAPRIL thing. Rosh should be pleased. :P JK bro
I am still unbelievably tired from Sunday's kayaking/canoeing expedition. I'm blogging to document when the events transpired so that when I look back on this blog I can remember the muscle tightening and flesh burning effects of that day. I am nothing if not dramatic.
I think this photo was probably staged, but it really encapsulates Ellen DeGeneres's closing statement on her show everday, "Be kind to one another." Also, you should never take yourself too seriously. (Note to self.)

I'm the worst
Some days I crave praise and attention. Like on one of those days, I'll get a compliment & be like Fuck yeah I'm awesome. Other days I'm like, Fuck you what do you know about me. I hope everybody's like that & it's not just me. I'm feeling pretty shitty right now. For no reason, too. Because I had a pretty excellent day. Mostly.
I am the most awkward though. I can't even discuss the details on this blog because I'm so embarrassed. Rosh, it involves AJ, of all people. Bah.
I'm trying to keep my shit together for the last few weeks of class, but I'm scared I might fail my CS class so obviously I'm not doing anything to prevent that. Just going to stress about it until it actually happens. I never practice like I should. Isn't that weird how that's the only class I care about & it's the class I try the least in. WTF.
MS gave me this little nugget of wisdom that I really like, "I can see why you like him still, but you do need to be careful. School and work come first." It's plainly obvious what she's referring to, the fact that I'm being stupid & needy over a dude. That's why I love her though. We keep each other sane.
This is what I'm most afraid of:
You know how on most laptops, there's a little scrolly thing that lets you scroll? Mine has all of a sudden discontinued working. Oh wait, it works now.
I just want to say that Calub is still my superhero. I want to go where he is. I would get on a plane tomorrow if I didn't only have $17 in my checking account.
My tooth hurts so goddamn bad. I think the tooth I had a root canal on, fucked up the position of the tooth behind it & now it's all out of whack in there.

I probably just found my new favorite movie.
I might have to watch it again today. It's hilarious. And totally realistic. I totally don't understand it, but I love it.
I'm super excited that about Lena Dunham's new show, "Girls."
She's my hero.

Lunch

Posting from the future again. This is my Uncle's plate from lunch on Easter sunday (April 8, 2012). I forgot to take a picture of my own plate so I took one of his plate, obviously. He pretty much got some of everything. G's creamed corn, lima beans, & deviled eggs, T&D's peas & cornbread, Papaw's mashed potatoes, G&P's spiral ham, B&L's mac & cheese, & G&P's salad. Pretty good.
Baby I Got Yo Money
This was a top comment on one of the videos... "Music is like candy, throw away the rappers."
Hilarious. I totally don't agree because I love rap, but hilarious nevertheless. Puns, yo.

someone who makes me happy
Phillip!!! I'm posting from the future because I didn't have a good picture of someone that made me happy on April 4th so I waited until I had a good one & it just so happened to happen today (Friday, April 6th).
MJ, Mall, & I went to First Friday today, which is this little festival thing that happens on Broadstreet in Gadsden where the people of Etowah county go to gawk and stare at the weirdos that decide to show up(that's what I do anyway). Also, there's usually some food & charity stuff going on.
Anyway, back to the photo... that's my hairdresser, Phillip. He's also my grandmother's, my aunt's, two of my cousins' & my boss's hairdresser. He is just the sweetest man. I love him to bits. He's a huge nerd, too. So awesome.
Needless to say, he makes me happy.

Rate My Professor
DOT COM
I've been trying to pick out my classes for fall & I just had to see what my fellow peers had to say about Dr. G. I can see why he thinks those review sites are so pointless & annoying. I am cracking up. There are some reviews from '03 that are obviously written by girls. I'm noticing a trend in all of the reviews, they all have to do with whether or not the reviewer liked him & they say almost nothing about the course.
I don't know though... I definitely judge a class by the teacher. So hypocrite = me.

Music Snob
You know I hate the word obsession, but all of the synonyms on the internet are sub par. Passionate is a strange word. I've been doing some research on Walk the Moon & they are everything I love about music. Their music is upbeat & kind of nonsensical & the lead singer is good looking. Also, they recently went on tour with one of my other favorite bands, Young the Giant.
I try not to be a music snob, but I totally am. My music stomps all other music.
Walk the Moon's doing a performance in Cincinnati, OH on record store day & it would only take 6 hours to get there!

I found this photo thing yesterday (April 2nd) so I'm doing some time travel and posting from the past. Also, instagram emailed me today & said that the app for android is now here! Yay
Today's photo is not from instagram because I took the photo prior to the email & for some reason instagram doesn't like the size of my already taken photos so I can't upload them there & get the cool hipster vintage look.

Root Canal
The thing I love about having a different spring break than the rest of my friends is I don't have to wear pants.
I pretty much hate everything else about it. I miss my friends. I did get to see Rosh on Saturday, which was AWESOME & I should be hanging out with MS tonight.
Had to get a root canal & it wasn't bad at all. Went to a different dentist than I normally do because our insurance has changed since the last time I went to the dentist. This new guy was really nice.
Probably the best dentist I've been to. Funny, smart, handsome.
The whole right side of my face is numb though.

Interviewer: What piece of advice would you give to Stephen Fry, aged 10.
Stephen Fry: You’re not alone. Everything you feel is fine. Only feel guilty about things you have done that are mean and cheap and unkind. Don’t feel guilty about what you feel, no matter what the world might think. Everyone is scared inside, not just you. That’s why reading is so good. Keep doing it. Writers are people brave enough to make you feel better about being human because they’re not afraid to reveal their own frailties, weaknesses, desires, failures, and appetites.

march madness
I'm glad that I'm still young. I know that people younger than me have children all the time, but I can't imagine having a child. I haven't even lived & experienced the world so how could I teach my child, if I magically had one tomorrow? How do you explain death to a child? When they ask about what happens after we die, how do you tell them that you don't know? That there is nobody on this earth that definitely knows? We had the most depressing discussion ever in CS today. Now I'm all "life sucks & then you die." So yay!
Also, it doesn't help that March has totally sucked so far.
My uncle D didn't recover from brain surgery. He passed away on the 12th. It was all too sudden.
I have to get a root canal on tuesday. Toothache was probably the worst pain of my life, but now I'm better because I have a nice pain killers.

Talking during the movies
"I’m saying these nice things about her because I also want to tell you guys that because she is such an outgoing person who is never short on conversation, she talks during movies. A lot. I used to get snappy with her (in a friend way!) but I’ve since learned to deal with it. As much as I don’t enjoy talkers during movies, there is nothing worse than a friend-shusher. It’s not my place to shush. We have a good system going now. She talks, and I nod or shake my head while rarely taking my eyes off the screen. We’ve made it work."
--why do i have a blog
That blogger is probably one of my very favorites. Sometimes I'll read a post & I'll be like holy fuck she is in my head thinking my thoughts.This post about her friend talking during the movies is one of those. Except I'm the person that talks during the movies and I have some shusher friends that should just deal with my talking.

Can this be a thing?
I want to be a professional listener. Not like listening to somebody's problems & then I'm supposed to fix them... no. I want to watch TED Talks and youtube videos and travel around the world to watch impressive people give impressive speeches. I want to sit in on classes of teachers that I really like & just listen to their lectures.

Well nothing's perfect
I don't know.
So this Kony 2012 video has gone viral. So many strong emotions. I have also read an article from John Green, who/m I respect very much, about how Invisible Children, inc. may not be the greatest charity ever.
I think it's important in ANY situation to have all of the information so that you can make a decision based on what matters to you.
The media is really important in today's society. That sucks, but it's hard to deny that is the case. The movie really expressed that point, but at the same time, it made me feel like I wasn't intelligent enough to know about this situation and it kind of played on that feeling.
I totally see where John Green is coming from. He wanted to make it known that has believed for a very long time that the LRA is horrible.
I don't necessarily agree with the plan of the Invisible Children, inc., but I also don't have a better plan. I think that Joseph Kony should be stopped & that's all I know. I hope that if others don't agree with the IC inc. plan, maybe a person will step forward and have a better solution. The problem before was that not enough people even knew what was happening. With all of today's technology, the world is so much smaller and it's amazing to think that people don't even know who Kony is. What I'm hoping is that since more people are finding out about this situation, someone who didn't know before might have a better solution to the problem. I mean, I was definitely ignorant about this. I wasn't even born in the 80s when Kony started, I didn't/still don't pay attention to the news, and I probably would never have heard of Kony unless somebody told me about it. The people that told me about it just so happen to be IC, inc.

Pascal
He was a gambler.
I'm having a hard time getting into the mindset of programming this weekend. I want to finish these 2 programs so badly, but I have a hard time naming the stupid variables. I keep wanting to name them Thing1, Thing2, Thing3, etc. Which is completely not what they should be named. I wonder how long it took Dr. G to be able to write code from memory. Because it seems like it would take FOREVER. I've been trying for 3 months to remember code & all I can remember is modulus. Referencing constantly is such a pain in the ass. MJ makes fun of me all the time because I want to just know things. I don't want to have to practice it & practice it before I can know it. That's why I like trivia so much, I think. You can't practice trivia. You either know it or you don't. I mean, I guess there could be some practicing involved like with flash cards or whatever, but all the people I know who are good at trivia, don't look at flashcards. They just know the fact because they heard it somewhere at some place and it stuck in their head. Why didn't "God" give me a photogenic memory? I would put it to such good use. I wouldn't even be snooty about having one either, I would be totally humble about it.

Oh something funny
So my MS 112 professor is kinda dorky. He's the same dude I had last year & I drew an astonishing resemblance of him in a note [See here]. He is so dorky. Anyway, in class he was on example number 8 & he asked if anybody knew another word for 8. This girl in the front row asked her friend that she was sitting next to (very loudly, I could hear her perfectly & I sit in the back) if he knew what 8 in French was. He said "two cubed"

Elevators
[...]What I can fathom, however, is the elevator in the library. Every morning I longingly look at the people waiting for the elevator as I trudge past them and walk the mere two flights of stairs to my classroom. At this point I haven’t had my coffee and I just want to ride the elevator like all of the other lazy people, but I physically can’t bring myself to do it because I’m fat. And when I realized this is the reason why, I suddenly understood why Whoopi Goldberg once said she will not eat fried chicken or watermelon in public — despite loving both foods — on principal alone.
~*~wish I was skinny so I could ride elevators~*~
-- whydoihaveablogThis near exact situation happens to me every tues/thurs. Nobody is even standing at the elevator though because my college is so absurdly small, but still, what if somebody walks by & sees me in the act. Sometimes, after class a person that I'm walking behind will be like, oh do you want me to hold the elevator? in a totally nice way, but every time I'm like, wow, they must think I can't go down the stairs because I'm so fat. Irrational? Maybe.
I do sometimes use the brand spanking new elevator in Bibb because if it ever trapped me in, I wouldn't feel so claustrophobic 'cause it's so big & spacious. Also, it never smells bad in there.
Weird.
On my way back to Gadsden, the reality of mortality hit me like a ton of bricks. Me & everybody I know is going to die. Also, Charles Trippy has a brain tumor// :( (The last guy on your right)
What is up with all this cancer everywhere? Last year was the first time I really was affected by a cancer diagnosis. My Papaw had esophageal cancer, you know? I obviously had heard of cancer long before that because I haven't been living under a rock, but because I am a selfish, selfish young person that still thinks the world revolves around me, cancer happened to other people. Not me. Not my family. That's not the case anymore, of course. Now it seems like cancer is happening to everyone, everywhere, all at once, constantly, & it is terrifying.
I watched Steve Jobs's famous Stanford graduation speech today because I was on Pinterest, scrolling & scrolling into infinity when I happened across this interesting black & white photo of text that said, "Stay foolish. Stay hungry." I didn't know exactly what that meant so I went to the Google & sought the answers. No matter how you feel about his company & brand, you cannot deny that he can give an inspirational speech.
Further proof that my mother is the smartest, most intelligent person in the universe. She already knew about the missing books of the bible. Yeah. Boom.
"[something reddit blah blah...]are like a gun. You could use it to help yourself, or you'll accidentally blow your face off." -The genius that is, Philip DeFranco I already told you how much I love him. I am hardcore in love with him.

He says something about living like you're dying & it's just so heartbreaking that he died in the middle of what could've been a very long life.

Today was a very interesting day
Dr. P told us about the books of the bible that were deleted. I am so intrigued by these. And of the 3 Christian people I've told about it, none have heard of this. Which I also find very interesting. Are some churches choosing to remain ignorant about this, or is it something else? I must do more research on this.
Dr. G spent the day talking about algorithms and then immediately after I got into my car, my radio said something like alt nation is algorithm free listening enjoyment or something to that effect. I'm total shit at remembering things word for word. The important part is that they said algorithm!
When I came home, there was nobody at the house, which is super nice to have the house to yourself sometimes.
I came home to a new pair of shoes! :)
They're Toms. Now I feel like I've finally gained entry to this imaginary, only in my head pretentious club. Pretentious is probably one of my favorite words.
I have found my new favorite drink.
It's lemonade mixed with a few tablespoons of cherry juice and 2 maraschino cherries. It's so pretty too.
I went to MJ's apartment after that, to spend time with her & her lovely roommate & to buy them food. So MJ & I hopped in the car to get Chinese take-out. I decided I would go in & order and she could just sit in the car because she wasn't exactly dressed for being in public. It turns out I left my headlights on for too long. The battery died & I had to call my Papaw for him to bring the jumper cables. It was only like eight, but that's still pretty late for him to be out & about. I'm super lucky to have him. He wasn't even upset.
Then we went to the apartment & finally ate our supper & watched that annoying Nancy Grace talk about the little girl who was abused to death in Attalla.
More exciting than usual, but not too exciting. Just the way I like it.
EDIT: (1:10a) Oh I almost forgot another cool thing. I did a facebook poll today & a surprising number of people responded. I think it has something to do with the fact that I manually asked people to participate & it gave them a notification. Really though, I was surprised that so many friends & strangers commented on the question. I didn't find any conclusive evidence one way or the other, but it made me smile & that's all that matters.

My throat hurts.
Here's the thing about pretending to be sick... I always ACTUALLY get sick right after I tell the lie. Not out of guilt or something, but because of actual bacteria and viruses.
My throat hurts.

I love tumblr. It truly knows me.
- me: I'm gonna study when I get home
- me: I'll just study before I go to bed
- me: I'll just study in the morning
- me: I'll just study on the way to school
- me: I'll just study in this class
- me: I'll just study in the hall
- me: I'll just study before the test
- me: I'll just study during the test

Happy VD Suckas
I like saying VD for valentine's day because it's like saying happy venereal disease.
It seems I like to compare people to other people.
So I'm contemplating majors again. I'm thinking I'm going to have to take a few of those "What should you be when you grow up" tests again. I just hate English. It's horrible & I'm an American so I don't have to do anything that I don't want to do.
Dr. G said something that really freaked me out because I thought for a second that he read my blogs. He was talking about careers & how you shouldn't major in something that you hate/are bad at. This example is what freaked me out. He said, "Like I hear some people say, I'm an English major, but I hate writing and reading. & I want to say to them, 'Why are you an English major then?'" So you can see why I was like whoa. But then I decided that I'm not internet famous enough for that.
Every time I watch Phillip DeFranco videos, I fall deeper and deeper in love with him. He has a weird looking face, & I'm shallow so that's why I've never watched his videos before this year, but I decided to take a chance & I'm so glad I did. He has all of the thoughts I've ever wanted to have before I have them. Except he talks about boobs a lot & I don't really feel the same way about them as he does. Everything else though, spot on. -------------> sxephil
Chris Traeger reminds me of my MS112 teacher a lot because they both say "LITERALLY" too often. That's pretty much where the similarities end.

Blood Pressure
So today in class Dr. G asked this girl in the front row for a song title because he was making a program that sorts song titles and ANYWAY she gave a Beyonce (Rosh!) song & then he asked for another song from somebody else that's from a different type of music. So I waited the allotted amount of time to let somebody else answer & nobody did so I piped up "Blood Pressure"
Of course he had never heard of MUTEMATH! Which is so precarious because they're an awesome band. So he asked me what other band mutemath sounds like... if he put it into pandora, what would play next & I was like, "Maybe Foo Fighters?" Which is probably inaccurate, but I am horrible under pressure so that's all I could think of. He was like oh Foo Fighters, nice. & I was like eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Listen though. He's hot for an old, married guy & today he called me Miss Barrow, which is so endearing. (So a stranger reading this would think OMG what a perverted freak, but seriously, if you knew me, you would roll your eyes & think, Oh Annabelle. Because it's not that serious.) At the beginning of the semester, I was really scared of him & I can't really put my finger on why, but he's just not intimidating anymore. He's like one of those nerdy, pretentious guys, but he's also really hilarious. What makes this extra creepy, he got his PhD before I even graduated highschool.
Okay here's what Dr. G would look like if he had a lot of tattoos and longer sideburns:
The actual dude in the photo is Coley O'Toole, a band member of We The Kings. He has a lot of photos online where he looks like John Stamos, but Dr. G doesn't look like John Stamos at all. So I guess that's where they differ.
I wish I had the balls to put up a comparison photo, but another one of my worst fears is people finding out I've talked about them on my blog without their consent. Posting a photo would be too much. There's no mystery in that. But seriously, take my word for it. They look just alike.

Bitching
Just so everybody on the internet knows, I watch more youtube videos than any human should and so because of that, I have to watch those lame ass advertisements. The advertisement on this We Are Scientists video has Elton John as a king that is able to give or deny pepsi products to people & it reminded me of this time at work when this lady was talking to me about how much her husband used to love Elton John until he found out he was (whispers) gay. You know how people do. Whispering like it's something obscene. People are assholes. Elton John is a legend. Why would you not love him because of his sexual orientation that does not affect or harm anyone IN ANY WAY AT ALL. I wish I had the juevos to make my opinions known IRL. I mean if someone asked me my opinions, I'm most likely going to tell the truth. I probably won't voice them by my own accord. I don't like to stir up trouble. I'm just not that kind of person.
I'm beginning to realize that I'm one of those pigheaded people that wants others to do things exactly how I do things. For example, I get so frustrated when I have to show my grandfather how to do something from his email(he uses yahoo) & I want him to just get gmail because it would make my life so much easier.
I'm so selfish.
SO MOODY.
