FML, Apple, and Stuff

Is that title wittier than the last? I can't tell.

Anyway

So I had a moment the other day, worthy of FMyLife. I was taking a psych survey for my psych class about relationships and social stuff. Towards the end though, it started asking me all these questions like "What treatment are you receiving for your social anxiety disorder? What medication are you taking for your social anxiety disorder?" and I'm like "I don't have social anxiety disorder". And then they're like "Well, you might want to get checked out then" And I'm like FML.

But I don't think I'm that anxious around people that I have social anxiety disorder. I might be a little introverted, but not enough to warrant a clinical diagnoses. I think I just answered those questions weird, since they're like "Do you like being with people you're with, but not the one's you ARE with?" and I'm like "Yes?" and they're like "SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER!" :P

I think also I've just been real anxious about stuff, since it's like a new school year, new people, etc. Plus everyone here still thinks I'm a freshman since I wasn't in the Arts Village last year, so it doesn't help that everybody is trying to explain everything to me and treating me like I'm retarded. Also a part of that, all my old friends are back in Harshman, so I don't know like anyone here, which doesn't really help. But enough about my psychological problems. Let's talk about other stuff.

I'm excited for all the new video games coming out soon. There's L4D2, Call of Duty 2 (or 6?), Beatles Rockband, Assassin's Creed 2. So many good games! And now my roommate just installed his surround sound speakers to our dorm, so I really want to play stuff on there.

Classes are fine so far. Except physics. Physics can suck my balls.

Home has been getting tedious. My mom is going through menopause, whether she wants to admit it or not, and she's been freaking out lately. I'll say like "I'll empty the dishwasher after dinner" and she'll burst into tears and complain how I'm never home to help. Or she'll just forget stuff and when I ask what she was talking about, she'll get all upset. It probably doesn't help that both me and my bro are leaving the house this year. I hope she gets over it.

I also love screwing with the people at the Apple Store. I went there today while waiting to get my phone fixed by the Verizon people (took 2 hours in line!). So what I usually do is find the computer with the nicest, loudest speakers and turn them up all the way up. Next, I connect my iPod to the computer using the Remote app (it let's you control iTunes remotely from your iPod). Then I go to the back of the store and press play. Today's reaction was great. Carry On My Wayward Son pumped through the store and everyone turned to look at the empty computer, mysteriously playing Kansas by itself. Then one of the employees came to mute it and I paused it right before he got there, so he figured it was fine. Then, as me and Kevin were leaving the store, I played it again as we walked out, much to the delight of the shoppers :D

So that's about all the random I can fit in here. I hope it's not too long.
