Something that bothers me
Dec. 1st, 2004 01:32 amOk, I'm assuming you've seen the internet thing KISS. You know, Keep It Simple Stupid. Ok, it shortens things, but kiss? I think of other things when I see the word kiss. And I have this icon that I love that has GEEK IS SEXY on it, and KISS is in red. Now, I think kiss as in kiss. But then I started seeing the keep it simple stupid thing all over. No, no one's ever said it to me. But now I can't look at my icon without thinking of that. Bah. *shakes head*
In other news, I'm practicing my speech for tomorrow. If I'm freaking out -now- just -thinking- about being in front of everyone this doesn't bode well. The thing is I know all of this off the top of my head. I knew it before I even put together the presentation, just fyi. But as soon as I get in front of everyone I'm going to be stumbling over everything, and forgetting everything! *runs in circles*

Ok, I've been listening to Launchcast all night. It occurred to me earlier that I wasn't hearing commercials, but I wasn't paying attention. But now I am. I'm not hearing commercials. But I don't have the premium. o.O I don't have a free trial of the premium that I am aware of. o.O
Oh well, I'm not complaining. Their ads annoy me. lol I'm just confused. lol

Well, I just gave my presentation like 10 minutes ago. I was the last to go out of everyone, which is good and bad. It's good because then I could see how everyone else did, and see how my report might stack up against everyone else's. It was also bad though because it gave my sugar a chance to dip (so I ate a mint that I had luckily, and I didn't get very bad with the sugar attack) and also bad because it left me like 2 hours to freak about mine. :P It didn't go too bad though. The presentation that I gave looked good and was thorough... I had also made myself notecards to refer to so I wouldn't forget everything that I meant to say, and I did refer to them a little bit, I didn't too much. I think it helped just to have them, because it's like having a saftey net, and I think that helps so I don't have brain freeze. :P If for some reason I was unable to think of something that I meant to say, that might have started a whole cascade of freakouts.
I've finally stopped shaking anyway. Public speaking + me=bad... Seriously though, my heart was racing and I was even having serious problems focusing on things when it was almost my turn. I felt like I was going to pass out. Yeah, that was fun. o.O
The funny thing is that almost -nothing- scares me. I am not someone easily shaken. But put me up in front of a group of people and have me speak? I freak out completely. Bleh. It's irrational! It's so stupid! What is wrong with me? ~.~;
Now, I want a nap. But I'm being brought out by the family to go out to eat for my bday. Which is nice, but one thing that sucks is they aren't going to be here until 6... and I got out of lab early so that's an hour of waiting... :P
