I hate being without a car 
Whyyyyy cant brake changing be quicker?!
Anyone wanna let me borrow their car?
Any way, hows PD doing today?

I just totally ACED my quantitative analysis midterm! :D :D
Moonwalked outta there with the world's biggest smile on my face.
This quant class has been true hell, its like quantitative chemistry boot-camp. Every week we have 3 x 1hour lecture periods and 2 x 5hour lab periods. 85% of our grade is based on the results we report from lab, which makes "just going through the motions" a laughable proposition.
This is the kind of chemistry class where you spend as much time cleaning glassware to analytical specifications as you spend actually doing chemistry: 3x (micro-detergent with scrub brush --> tap water rinse) followed by 3x DI water rinse, followed by drying in the electric oven at 110C, followed by cooling in the dessicator.... pretty much every single time you use a damn piece of glassware.
Luckily it's only a 1/2 semester course though-- unluckily, the second half of the semester I have to take inorganic synthesis, which I hear is also prone to inducing feelings of terminal exasperation in chemistry students... Meh...
It's shit like this that makes me love and miss organic chemistry. The motto of the organic laboratory is "yeah, that seems to be good enough". :D
Inorganic chemistry just isn't very much fun, honestly-- its all number-crunching and bullshit. Some of the shit gets so retardedly complicated that I can barely stand to look at the material-- like equilibria problems where you get to the last step of the problem and realize you're dealing with 8 equations and 8 unknowns. It would take like 5 years to solve that by hand-- so you plug the shit into Mathematica and, of course, Mathematica being a stupid computer program, spits out an enormous pile of possible answers. Then you take a closer look at the answers and realize most of them are completely ridiculous, like how can you have a species in solution with a negative molar analytical concentration? Or even worse, a molar analytical concentration somehow related to the 'imaginary' number i (√-1)? So ya gotta "go digging" and sort through like a trillion possible answers to find the one that you're actually looking for....ughhh, I truly despise spending my time doing stuff like that.
And fuck ions. :D Ionic bonding is the cheap, dirty sex of the chemical world. No sharing and caring like with covalent bonding. Ions will fuck anything for a little bit of opposite charge... absolutely disgusting!
Water is such a whore that it even beats itself off ionically through a process called autoprotolysis (the only other compound that exhibits this characteristic is ammonia).
It basically throws protons around between molecules like a hot potato-- one water molecule will throw a proton to another water molecule, creating a hydronium cation and degrading itself to a hydroxide anion in the process. Talk about playing with yourself. :D
The shitty part of the autoprotolysis of water (well, in terms of calculational difficulty -- without the phenomenon, life couldn't exist) is that dissolving ionic compounds gets really fucking messy when you look at what is actually going on, because the anions will catch a proton (or 2 or 3, depending) from a hydronium cation and become some other shit (almost always a weak acid), that has its own equilibrium you have to consider, and so on and so on.
Sometimes you have an anion that catches multiple protons to become a polyprotic acid, which partially dissociates to yield a diprotic acid which in turn partially dissociates (by this time, barely-- very low Ksp) into a monoprotic acid. Its truly is a mindfuck cascade.
Basically it becomes this ridiculous soup of charges in equilibrium with each other. The only time ions behave well is when dissolving strong acids, because the conjugate base of a strong acid cannot hydrolyze (a strong acid is defined as such because it dissociates completely in water, and in order to completely dissociate it can't accept protons in aqueous solution).
Hahahaha wow, can you tell I'm on adderall??
I'm sure you guys could care way less about this shit, but I'm just blabbing on. I've been in "chemistry mode" all day, so this boring bullshit just spills out of my brain like an open faucet.
tl;dr: analytical chemistry sucks, organic chemistry is fun, and water is a wanker. :D
Anyways, I'm about to smoke a friday evening bowl. It's good chronic too. It's gunna be really nice, I'm just waiting until I'm tweaking balls a little less completely before I start smoking. :D
I'll be smoking said bowl by myself, unfortunately, as all my friends are at the football game tonight (read: drunk off their asses by now). I am way too exhausted to attend, though-- and since my girlfriend's dad wanted her to go to the game with him, I'm basically chillin' alone tonight.
That's fine by me, though-- I'm so damn tired from the demands of this week, and cracked-out feeling from the adderall in my system, that I just feel like chillin' and continuing to post ridiculously long & pointless walls of text similar to this one. :D
I hope all of you guys are doing well. PD crew includes so many special people, I hold you guys very near to my heart and think about you all often.

Haha yes I can tell you are on adderall, but I completely loved reading that You smart cookie haha.

Good luck with that, bro.
Hopefully you can sway the young lady's attention your way! (much easier said than done, but immensely rewarding I must say)

Are you throwing anthropomorphic projections onto matter and energy? With sleazy undertones?
Water may be a whore, but we need whores to keep the world goin' round. The true whores who, like water, give themselves not for money but purely for the love of it.
How many geniuses were born from whores I wonder...

Love the chem talk rog. My quant class isn't has rigorous as yours, granted my school isn't known for its chem program (stupid move on my part for going here, but I love this place).
I adore organic and I'm pissed that my uni doesn't offer any upper level chem courses. I'm going to hate the next few chem classes I'm gonna have to take, P-chem 1/2, inorganic, and quant. I'll be happy when I get to biochem. Speaking of organic, I need to get on with reading Carrey and Sundberg's Adv Organic. Organic chem is the whole reason why I choose to be chem major, so I need to keep going with it, especially since i want to take some grad level organic class at some point (somewhere).
Anyway, so I just got off work/grabbing some cookout (yummm!!! all my fellow NCer should, or hopefully know what i'm talking about). I've been busy all day. Woke up and wrote a paper, made myself steak and mashies, then went to work for 8 hours. Now it's time for a bowl and some dexter.

You can't go wrong with a milkshake, though I tend to more often than not, grab myself a unsweet-tea. They have real solid tea that you just can't beat (unless homemade of course!).
I'm rocking a cheader-style 1/4lb burger, hush pups, and a corn dog. Hell of a combo

I really want to listen to this song tripping my nuts off, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBD4z2BeYQg
For one, it is absolutely wonderful, and beginning I really want to hear while I'm out of my mind. Taking a hit of DMT waiting 30 seconds then throwing this on would be awesome.

And God damn, Roger, you always amaze me with how much knowledge you've got packed up in yer head :D
I always feels weird referring to you as Roger, as I recall you saying it isn't your real name, but I think of you as a Roger, if that makes sense...
I gotta work at 9 AM and I ain't even tired, sigh
stoned as heck, though
Also I just noticed I don't use a period if it is just a single sentence little 'pseudo-paragraph' thingy, if you will.
Which I also just noticed are what most of my posts consist of :D LOL! :D
god damn I'm stoned.

There was a thread with that story posted in SLR last year I think. People were PISSED when they finished reading. :D
The reactions were just as funny as the story
