There's such a thing as too much cheerfulness over IM, people! / Survey Dump

I got up today at 10, for some weird reason. At least I now have the phone on (I hope?) so Sam can call me in a few hours.

I got messages from Terrence on MSN at 7:52 AM (he was up early!): "Wai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm in your house at Steveston now! Thought I'd send you a hi from your home =) kk... cannot wait to see you and hang out over bubble tea!" (the Netspeak / grammar has mostly been cleaned up :P) Dude... too cheerful for a morning IM message! IT IS NOT MY HOUSE, seeing as I never really lived there full-time for an extended period. As for hanging out over bubble tea, maybe we can do that when I feel less like dying, kthx! Maybe I'll call my sister at a more reasonable time (like 1 or after Floodlight) to make arrangements for tomorrow. (yes, I know he means well, but still!)
