Okay. I have been sitting at home, watching youtube all evening. But after I catch up with the sewing channels that I watch, I get bored and transfer around, usually to videos supporting evolution (sadly, one of my favourite subjects of interest as it considers genetics, which I love) and they usually lead me around to new subjects that I pick up on here and there. If anyone ever wants to know where my wealth of random knowledge comes from, that's it.

However, today I heard something that blew my mind. Literally. I cannot accept its existence.
I was always under the impression that the universe was infinite as it was ever-expanding. It did not have an end. I understood that as "infinity".
Silly me.
I can understand infinity, which I suppose, is supposed to be a difficult concept to comprehend. I have always understood infinity. There can't possibly be an end to the universe, if it can ever-expand. Yes, an absence of everything, but space is something and therefore is an infinite area. On a slightly larger scale that induces dizziness, I have occasionally considered that my infinity ideal was contained in an infinite number of infinities. Dimensions, if you will?
It never occurred to me, however, that our universe is in fact finite.
Yes. Finite.
I'm not a physicist. I am not sure what this entails. But this is what I understand.

Except that I do not. How can something which is expanding be finite?
How can we exist in a finite determination? If we are finite, what do we exist within? Do we exist? Can we continue to exist in our finite space? Where is our finite space in relation to other things that must exist? Is there a greater amount of space? Is it finite?
And so on, and so forth.

Or, is there simply nothing? No space, no black, no air, no elements, no atoms. No existence after our little universe?
Can there be nothing? (which, I thought, made a vacuum?)


While I understand infinity in our universe just fine, I cannot seem to comprehend the opposite: a finite universe.
That kind of science simply alludes me.
Have fun wrapping your mind around it.

Wow. I wonder what this is hyperlinking to? What did I do this time??


A new couch I got from my uncle^^

And a desk from my mom for sewing... WOOH!


... Now, to school.

You know, I feel as though I'm spending an awful lot of time doing stuff... but not this week. This week was slow. And lazy. Because last week I had vacation...

And this week all I had was school and work... HUGE difference in what I had planned. Awesome.
Makes for a nice, relaxing week while looking at these dates. They're so empty! School, work, school, work, work, work, work. Predictable. Slow. Mostly short shifts. Easy.
*sigh* I love not being on vacation.

You know, now that I'm not all stressed by the wedding of a friend, I'm better open to having a wedding reception than I was a week and a half ago. Before, I was pretty well against it. I probably will be again, as I seem to keep flip flopping... but that's okay. Any wedding that I have will be so far away that it doesn't matter.
See?

Wedding Tickers

The Night the Electricity Went Out...

One night, a young blogger was hastily preparing for a friend's wedding that weekend, when suddenly, the lights went out, the computer stopped its ritualistic hum, and the fridge even stopped blowing cold air in.
The night grew dark quickly. Dark clouds aligned with each other to butt head on, in hopes that they would meet and throw a mixer.
Soon, the clouds touched, battling for their own territories, the clouds to the East often losing their battle, but the clouds from the West held their own.
Lightning struck repeatedly, shredding the skies with quick flashes of lightning; occasionally a long bout of sheet lightning rent the deepening blackness of the evening.
Tumultuous rain broke through the sheets of darkness, flying every which way in the warring winds that ripped through the trees surrounding the blogger's apartment, which shook with every huge boom of thunder that accompanied the lightning.
So, she sat down at the table surrounded by seven candles, and wrote out two pages of the thoughts that flowed through her head.
These pages were caught up, long after the storm, and admitted to internetional history (As in, throughout the entire internet) via her blog.

They are as follows:

It's official: I hate hemming things. Also: zipper foot= #1 sewing machine accessory. Ever.

Oh, you know that Cee Lo Green song (On the radio, it's "forget you" but those aren't the actual words in the song)...
I was listening to an Electric Six album today (Flashy) and had to compare songs when I heard both of these references:

F*^% You
Cee Lo Green
...
Now look here, I'm sorry I can't afford a Ferrari
But that don't mean I can't get you there
I guess she's an Xbox and I'm more Atari
But the way you play your game ain't fair
...
-----------------------------------
Flashy Man
Electric Six
...
He won't apologise
'Cos he's not sorry
You're the station wagon
To his Ferrari
...
He's the X-Box
To your Atari
...

Hm. Interesting, but I guess there aren't many words that rhyme with Ferrari. Starry? Calamari?
But they don't fit syllabically (I don't actually think that syllabically is a word, don't go using it in Scrabble or anything) in where the Atari is.
Just my little notation.

f
So, after a brief week of 39 hours of work and at least eight hours in class, the making of a bridesmaid's dress, plus about ten-fifteen straight hours of homework that was only one day late, I finally get a day where I'm only working 5 hours! Wooh! (That translates to: "Update a blog!")
I bought this watch from work yesterday, because it has an ABACUS! Yes. I am so nerd, I don't have a calculator watch. I use an abacus! WIN! (Except that I really don't have the money to be making random watch purchases... so I did it anyway. It was just so happy sitting there, and I was in desperate need of a happy boost :D)
