Thank you
for everything :) especially for making a bad night about 50000000000000 times better
I wish I weren’t so fucking stupid
I don’t even like metal a little bit right now
I need to stop punching things...
Especially steel things.
Who's hiring in Lawrence?
Because this job fucking blows. It wouldn’t suck so much if all my coworkers fucking did their jobs, but no. That’s an aaaaawful lot to ask, Cody.
Fine, box...
You fucking win. Happy?

It’s amazing how little one can accomplish in seven hours…
Yup! Lecture tonight, get even less done!
False! I will get more sleep at the lecture than I got last night at the studio ;)

Inheritence
I just inherited (from my very-much-alive grandpa) a foot of I-beam, some twenty- or thirty-pound piece of steel from a car or truck, a three-pound sledge, and a fancy push-drill :D
It may be my mom’s birthday, but I got the coolest gifts ;)
It’s good to come from a family with a rich history of working with one’s hands!
I growled at some girl in a dream,
because she interrupted (usurped? stole?) a meeting I was having with a teacher.
You need to take two steps back, or I’ll start biting ~.~
My foundry teacher sprung a surprise iron casting...
I’m going to ask if I can cast an anvil.
Maybe not a solid one, but at least half and inch to an inch thick. Then I can fill the cavity with aluminum or something cheap like that. This would probably also require that I get a sheet of steel for the top (if not also the horn) of the anvil.
I know forged anvils are usually considered better than their cast brethren (all castings have an amount...
What a waste of six hours ~.~
School today sucked
I can’t tell if I’m more honest with myself when I’m in a good mood or bad.
[Probably the latter…]
Also...
Resentment ~.~

Look at my field trip to the metal spinning factory.
Megan’s ten times cooler than me, because she made a video of the metal spinners we went to see :)

I am in an exceptional mood right now :)
it smells like rain outside!
”It is both tiresome and injurious to perform the raising operation with a clenched fist. The raising hammer should be ‘thrown’ at the target and picked up for a new blow only on its upward bounce. In this way, the hand is in least contact with the hammer at the time of impact.” Oh, Heiki, you do go on! ;)

I wonder what the shipping cost is like for an anvil…
i need a hug...
I need a real fucking hug…
Oh hell... I'm me again...
I can never catch a fucking break…
I woke up from dreams of metalworking...
Maybe it will be a good day, after all.

I hate when they make jewelry on How It's Made!...
What a stupid hour and a half of “I can’t wake up from this series of bad/being-chased” dreams. It was cool for the thirty seconds I knew I was dreaming, and I could change whatever I wanted, but after that I was too busy being disturbed by nightmare shit like cat people and people robbing me and shooting me to have any fun.
Thank god there's wifi in the metals studio
Tumblr tumblr tumblr o.o
You can't walk around assuming the things you know...
That makes you look like a huge dick, even in the realm of geeks and nerds ~.~
Reblog this if you'd hang out with your Tumblr...

You know I love you guys, right? ;)
Been trying not to fall asleep for the last 45 minutes… it’s not working very well
I should stop trying to help people.
It never works out, anyway.
