When you're! Holding me!
This was a beautiful beautiful weekend. We were all together again and it was like no time had passed, just as much love and comfort and fun as ever. I knew we would all stay in touch and all back in the summer, but after feeling what three or so months apart is like, which in case you didn't notice was like no time had passed at all save for a few college stories, I just KNOW we'll always have what we have. We've made something special, and when we're all old and beautifully wrinkled we'll still have each other. I know it! And I'm always right about these things.

Narwhals on Acid
Umm
Can we just go over how Tertia, Karen Cheng, and Dooce are all pregnant? Who's next? Tracie? Margalit?
Today was actually pretty uneventful. No orgies. And I'm going to sleep early! As in three am, but that's early these days.
Sa and Mel and I are going to make a website, and it's going to make a lot of money. Just you wait.
I am a knitting fiend these days, churning out about one hat every one and a half days.
I'll be home soon. WEIRD.

Half moon
I don't sleep nearly enough in college. I would go to bed without blogging since I have symposium tomorrow and all, but there are two things that cannot go unblogged. And they both happened after one am.
1) So we're sitting in the Captain's room, Mel, Captain, and I, and Mel and I are on his bed and Sa is in his chair and we're watching this boy do some weird thrusting thing in this girl's room, but the wardrobe and bed are obstructing most of the action, so we're wondering if he is getting his pretty on with some girl on top of her desk, when Mel points to a window two windows below it and says, "Wait that girl is about to take her top off," and this girl is standing up in front of four or so people who are sitting on the bed, and we're doubtful but Mel insists that the girl is nervous and her body language is pointing towards strip, and then I kid you not the girl takes her top off, Mel's got those instincts, and then we're all excited because nights just get so much better when you get to see breasts in the windows of that dorm, AND THEN I KID YOU NOT the REST of the people in the room take THEIR clothes off and HAVE AN ORGY. There were limbs EVERYWHERE, people making out left and right and all over each other, and then they turned off the lights and lowered the blinds. AND SA AND MEL AND I SAW IT ALL. And then I ran downstairs and told everyone else, but by the time they all came up the action had died down.
2) Be and I brought back the knitting and pipe smoking club tonight and ended up having a really deep and personal conversation about all kinds of deep and personal stuff, both telling each other things we'd never told anyone else. And it was beautiful. I've never really had a best platonic guy friend like that.
SO IN CONCLUSION
Half moons are my favorite (ALERT THE PRESSES! GIRL LIKES HALF MOONS! LITTLE KNOWN FACT! (SHUT UP A, I DON'T TALK ABOUT HALF MOONS TOO MUCH (OKAY I MIGHT TALK ABOUT THEM EVERY TIME IT'S A HALF MOON BUT WHATEVER I LIKE THEM))) and good things happen on half moon nights. And tonight's was utterly gorgeous and I had my glasses cause I had taken them out to watch the orgy.
Is it ever late.

Advertising
Last night at around midnight after a lovely Mycollege Monday Be and I decided to go into the woods, and we ended up splitting what was probably too much, and it was FUN. Be was drawing an advertisement for our dildo company, and Mel told him to make the woman more feminine, and his attempt at making her more feminine ended up making it look like she had a beard and football lines under her eyes. And then he was going to block out her face to make her every woman, but she ended up looking like she was wearing a space helmet, so we put her in space. And I drew a picture of seeing the wildebeest migration from a hot air balloon. Because I've been keeping my paper and markers and crayons and colored pencils in the common room and people have been coloring and coloring. And my lighter blew smoke rings when Be flicked the flame slightly on. And it was just a genius night.

SCABIES! BABIES!
I didn't blog yesterday because I ended up going to bed wildly late. I suppose it's wildly late now too. But if I don't blog now then when will I? AND BY GOD, LET THESE FEW NIGHTS NOT GO UNBLOGGED!
Yesterday we went out to dinner and then to Vi's improv show, and then we got stranded and had to walk miles upon miles (or so) to a bus stop that the nightline bus came to, and it was foggy and fun. Apparently Olympia is known for its fog. I like fog.
BIG EXCITING NEWS! NO AND MEG ARE OFFICIALLY A COUPLE! LET'S ALL TAKE A MOMENT TO AWWW.
I suppose posting about how much I love my dorm and friends and life is becoming repetitive. But we've concluded that the latest full moon brought with it some wondrous goodness. Good things are happening.
Tonight everyone sat in Mel and Em's room for a while, knitting and talking and Be rolled up Ta's hand in a yarn ball, and Ad was out of his mind, and it was great. And I cut all of Mel's hair off. And they had bananas and peanut butter at dinner. All good things.

Something in the deli aisle
Yesterday was a long and involved day.
It began at seven, since I had to be at C lot at 8:30 for my field trip to the sewage treatment plant and the dump. When Ms. Frizzle and the gang (complete with Amanda Jane, Carmen, and Florrie) went through the sewage treatment plant they must have really had magic on their side, because if I learned anything at that field trip it's that vats of raw sewage really are as unpleasant as one would imagine them to be. If not more. Ke and I concluded that our entire class is some sort of cross between The Simple Life and the Joe Schmo Show. All of our classmates are paid actors (seriously, you'd have to see our classmates to believe them. I see them every day and I still don't believe them) and field trips that involve thickened sludge and giant trash heaps (one of the girls in my class ran up onto the trash heap when we got out of the bus to look at it, and Teacher just stood there yelling WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? ARE YOU HIGH???) are just ploys by the producers to boost the ratings. And SURE maybe Wisconsin girl thought we were crazy when we were standing on the ledge above the dehydrated waste screaming I DON'T CARE IF YOU EDIT THIS OUT OF THE SHOW! WE'RE ON TO YOU! WE KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE CAMERAMEN, but I mean she's an actor anyway so who cares what she thinks of us. Really. Why else would the entire class line up to stick their face in a bin of concentrated sewage to smell it? Paid. Actors.
Then after class instead of taking my customary nap till 5 I went to buy knitting supplies with Meg and Mel. And oh my goodness, I bought the most beautiful yarn the world has ever seen. I was swooning over it like nobody's business. I love color. Love it. And then All joined us for a knitting party when we got back and we all knitted until dinner.
On the way to dinner Mel and Meg and I were walking between Ad and Sa, and since they're 6'4 and 6'5 respectively Mel said they were the parenthesis and we were the words. I liked it. Everyone here is growing increasingly and increasingly obsessed with the Blow, and none of them knew it until I introduced it. Love it. Everyone sings it all the time.
After dinner we all went and saw this Tibetan Buddhist monk speak, and he was utterly phenomenal. I want to be his friend so bad. And what I talked about was so pure and real and inspiring. So great.
ANDDDDDDDD after the monk we bought more of Jo's apple cider and Meg and Mel and Ta and I retreated to Mel and Em's room, where we had cider and chips, and then everyone else came to their room, and good times were had by all. And then we set off for Em's mod and we bonded with everyone and I ended up wandering into two other mods where other revelries were going on (once with Em and once with Mel) and I ended up meeting a bunch of great people.
And THEN everyone went back to Av's dorm and more and more people showed up and we had the best dance party EVER. So much fun. Love my life.
After the dance party was broken up I sat in the hall for a long time with Ta and Meg and Sa and it was a nice end to a very long day.
We were supposed to all wake up at 6:30 to go to Seattle to protest proposition 8, but word on the street is nobody actually ended up awake when the time came.

Kitty wants candy
Frank Gilbreth would not approve of how long it takes me to get ready at night. I retired to my bedroom at 12:07 (early, i know! i have a field trip to the waste treatment plant and the dump at 8:30 tomorrow, and if Dolly Parton doesn't sing to me about the joys of recycling I quit) and it's 1:04 am now and I just got into bed.
I don't think there's much to report about today, besides that I sleep all the time and I love my life.
That's a lie. Not the loving my life part, because I forking do, but the not having much to report part. I think I'm just lazy right now. I mean, not that I have much to report. Maybe I should just report it already instead of dilly dallying about with all this fluff.
SO.
We all went to see a disciple of Gandhi speak today, and she was really cool, but we could only understand what she was saying part of the time, since she was a very old woman with a very thick Indian accent, but when I wasn't able to understand her I was THINKING stuff like nobody has ever thought before.
And then...maybe I didn't have much to report. I just REALLY, really enjoy these people I'm around. And I am amazed at my life and my existence. I guess I say that too much. But it's only because I'm awestruck and I don't know what else to do about it besides shout it from the rooftops of the internet (coo, what a sight). Just hanging out in the common room, with Ad scooting around the floor screaming with swirly blocks in his eye sockets and me scratching Em's back as she and Vi draw with crayons on the floor and Jai gives Be a back massage with all the moaning and Meg also scooting about giggling and Ta pulling Mel around with the string from the hat she's knitting...it's really my life. I didn't make it up. Though sometimes I think I may have.
I feel like it's such a miracle that I'm alive right now. Read this article and see if you don't walk away from it with a bit of wonder pumping through your veins. What if we were right in the middle of a cosmic void? What if that's one more of the millions of variables that happened to come together to create life here, and not just life but US. And now here we are, thanks to so many coincidences coming together and ending up with me. And all of us. From way back to those stromatolites through all of evolution, how is it anything but miraculous?

WotLK
Today was great.
I went to symposium, which was all about Ashkenazim and involved this documentary and the documentary maker talking about it, and it was all up in my heritage.
And then after class I was really productie and did all kinds of homework. Which made me feel all productive.
And then I went up to the common room and it was all nice and cleaned from maintenance, and had the extra furniture Bej borrowed from the second floor common room, and I decided I really wanted to decorate it so I brought up my art supplies and started coloring, and then EVERYONE joined in and we had a spontaneous coloring and decorating party, and I mean EVERYONE. And Je brought flavor ice for us all, except in this neck of the woods they're called otter pops. And I cannot get over the beauty of my dorm community. We were all there coloring on the floor working together to beautify our common space. And it all started from me wanting to do a bit of coloring and decorating. I love it.
And then I played in Jai's bathroom for a bit, and then Kev danced for La and Jai and I, and then by the time I got back to the ranch Mel and Meg had bought some apple cider, and THEN the three of us ended up going to the mall to wait for the midnight release of WOW WotLK, and got free pizza and soda and gum and warheads. And it was hilarious. Because not every WOW geek had a harem of three girls with our state of mind. How jealuz are you right now A. I was in LINE for the MIDNIGHT RELEASE. And Meg and I had the best conversation about how wondrous our life is here at this school in this dorm in this reality in this community. This is our life. This is what we're going to look back on for the rest of our lives. We are just this group of kids, and we all chose to go to this college but we were just placed in this dorm, and together we have formed this beautiful community were everyone is comfortable with each other and everyone always hangs out doing nothing or going on adventures but mostly just enjoying each others company, and everyone is learning here every moment of every day, both in class and just about life in general and how to exist on our own and about interpersonal relationships and the way of the world, and learning from each others perspectives since everyone has had such different experiences that all led us to this dorm and this now. And here we are, all experiencing the madness that is college, all experiencing it together, and everyone is confused and everyone doesn't quite know what they're doing with their lives and everyone is missing their home and their friends and their lovers and everyone is starting this new college stage, but we're all in that same awkward and disorienting place TOGETHER, and our collective insanity only leads us to more learning. And we're only here for four years which is pretty short if you think about it, and freshman year is only one of them and it's happening right now. Right now! Everything I do is my college memories and everyone I meet are my college friends, and when I am an old woman I will look back at THIS time in my life that I am living right now. It's a little obscene how lucky I am to be in this moment and in this stage of my existence, and how much power I have to shape this time into something incredible, and how incredible it really is. Talk about these happy golden years. Wait man, this is SO like These Happy Golden Years, how Laura goes off in the world to teach school, and she's so far away from Ma and Pa and Mary and Carrie and little Grace, and she's a mess at first but she learns so much and grows, and she has Almanzo there to take care of her, which is love and friendship and community all in one. And it's just like that little song in the book says, "Golden years are passing by, these happy golden years." Even when I was little those lines always were so poignant and got me all nostalgic for everything, since it was the last "real" book in the series and all, and I knew that my childhood was passing by, and gosh it's going to be over soon, what am I going to DO when I'm not a child anymore? And when does a person really stop being a child? Golden years ARE passing by, THESE HAPPY GOLDEN YEARS.
Wait.
Dangit.

Substance-free Orgy
Today I slept. A lot. From two to five, and then from five to eight. It was weird. I was tired.
Be made me a dinosaur out of these lego block things and put it on my wardrobe. Talk about fantastic.
LeVar continues to live it up in college. I think Ha does all the LeVar decorating.
Ummm what else. We just sat in the hallway and talked all night, about sex and god and food and babies and more sex. LOVE the dorm community. Love it.
The rain that Teacher showed us how to predict this morning is now pitter-pattering all over my windows. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Henna
Ever since Bollywood night (ok which was yesterday but it feels like longer ago) my entire dorm has been obsessed with henna, due to the giant bag of henna made up for everyone's use. Everyone drawing henna on everyone else. Beautiful.
Tonight I took the bag, stood naked in front of the mirror and painted my entire torso with henna.
JUST KIDDING.
...or am I?

This
is one of the most obscure drawing requests I've ever gotten. Apparently Sa's brother needed it for a project?
Every time I start a story with THIS it is reminding me of Cherries and Cherry Pits, in which a girl starts all her stories with THIS, and that in turn is reminding me of Mother reading that book to me when I was little, along with A Chair for my Mother and The Cow That Fell in the Canal, and that makes me think of my own children and how when they're 18 and at college, maybe they will think of the stories I read to them when they were four.

Monday
My Mondays are always very productive. I love getting stuff done.
Aunt B came over for breakfast today. She's a raging hippie. I love it. It makes me feel even more like I belong at Mycollege. She read my astrology and showed me the chapel of sacred mirrors. There's just so much crazy in my family. It makes me feel like this is how I'm supposed to be. With my background and my genes, how could I have ended up anywhere but here, doing anything but what I'm doing?

Penelope
I'm kind of in love with the name Penelope. And kind of would so name my daughter it. Or maybe as a middle name?

Exit Skin
A visited this weekend. I think I showed her a good time.
Be has kind of moved in to my room. It's great. There are bottles everywhere from our dumpster diving excursions and power tools and epoxy and all kinds of things. Something of a workshop set up.
Vi and Mel and Meg and Em's suitemate has come down with scabies, and they are FLIPPING out about it. Ad was HILARIOUS last night though, chanting scabies, maybe you had to be there, but it was FUNNY. Ad is fantastic. Fact.
Mans. Last night was fun. All and I were watching the Pi Ad and Ta show, and Ad wrote in circles everyone can see everyone and then drew this thing that was either a girls face or a universe or an igloo, we kept on trying to figure out what, but we couldn't....it was a great night.
We went to the Reef on Friday night and everyone got stranded at the bus stop for an hour. But it was SO MUCH FUN. Meg was HILARIOUS as a homeless lady. And Ad and I would high five every five minutes. To mark the passage of time. I don't know. In our state of mind it worked. And Wa and Ne spitballed everything.
And um
My life is incredible, turkey party soon!

I
LOVE
my life.
I was so happy I almost cried just out of how happy I was. Multiple times today. I cannot BELIEVE this is my reality. And that it is this good.
The people here amazing me over and over with how great they are. Over and over. Coloring in children's books, reading Shel Silverstein, returning from the woods to a bunch of people listening to didgeridoo, dancing, and twirling lights around, and just the community, I know I say it a lot but by god the community. Awe. Awe at my life. My entire life is dead-drop beautiful and I am in love with all of it.
Ta made me a narwhal without me even asking for one.
LOVE
my life.

Mmmmm
I just awoke from the deepest most refreshing most beautiful sleep of my entire life, complete with rain sound and my blankets were the perfect temperature and loud people outside didn't phase me and MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I honestly swear I have never slept better.
That's a lie. I've had a better sleep. But this is second best. SECOND BEST I GIVE IT!
Not having school from wednesday-tuesday this week = GENIUZ. And Teacher still loves me at my conference and he's going to hook me up with working with that guy who taught that class that I thought was fantastic. So...sweet.
I love...everything really. Yesterday I was in the Captain's room with Be and Ad and Bej (and the Captain of course) and he had a new sound system so he started blasting the vengaboys and then Ne and Wa and Co run in and join in our dance party and we look down to the courtyard outside and everyone out there is raving too, and it was fantastic.
Mel was HILARIOUS last night. We learned how to use a shmapervizer from Za, and by god. That's all I have to say. And where can I get me one.
Ad is FANTASTIC. It is very unfortunate that he is leaving after this quarter, because he is fantastic.

Last night.
I KNEW stuff was going to go down. But I never would have predicted the INCREDIBILITY of the night. Dear freakin lord. I don't think anything could have made last night better. Utter jubilation. God. FANTASTIC. Mind-blowingly fantastic.
And that was HISTORY. That was the night I will have forever as the night Obama got elected and I celebrated in a house full of group hugs and individual hugs and joyous children and the hugs and the celebrating and my DORM with many a group hug there too and then going back to the dorms and then going back to the little house and then back to my room and then to the hall and then to my room again and the LOVE that was everywhere and all the people basking in it together and GOD I don't think I can express it.
Everyone was hugging and screaming NARWHALS for a while and that made me very happy and just generally awestruck at my life. MY LIFE.
Incredible.

Hey there little albatross
Stickshifts and Safety Belts is now my third most played song. And I only heard it for the first time today. Hm.
I love when that happens with songs, when you love one so bad nothing else will suffice and when you listen to it it's just so GOOD.
Mondays are always my productive days. Room cleaning, trash taking out, sweeping, etc. Starting off the new week.
I need to go to bed earlier. Dangit.
Election day is going to be epic. Stuff is going to go DOWN. I can tell you there that.
I love my dorm community. Love it.
Tonight I was sitting outside knitting a hat for Be while he was smoking his pipe, and it was just the two of us at midnight at the picnic tables under the tent with rain (the rainy season is officially upon us) and I don't know how I didn't die of rustic on the spot.
Av wants to make a band called Narwhal. I love that my room is above him because when he is practicing his music with his window open I can open my room and have free concert.
My dorm community. It's fantastic. We were all lying in the hallway outside the common room, and everyone was singing and Av was playing guitar and Vi was yelling at us half-heartedly because it was quiet hours, and mans I just love this dorm.
DIXVILLE NOTCH, NEW HAMPSHIRE! Remember that time we road tripped there?

I need! You here with me!
My dorm was discussing making a dorm porn movie last night, and I think maintenance must have overheard and taken it too literally, because 9 30 am there is loud pounding on the door and a deep male voice says "MAINTENANCE (pound pound pound) MAINTENANCE (pound pound pound) MAINTENANCE WE'RE COMING IN" and of course it's NINE FREAKIN THIRTY AM and I don't have class today so girl is all kinds of nekkid and in bed, and it was a bit rattling.
NARWHALS?!?
NARWHALS?????????????
WHAT?!?!?!?!
Man. Today was fantastic. It's forking late, especially with the time change. I'm so tired I'm shaking. But today was fantastic.
I always forget that I'm all meek and mild and in my shell until I get comfortable in a new place. Until I get comfortable. I'm comfortable now. And it's GREAT.
Mel and I have the best elevator parties. Sa thinks we're crazy just because we both used to be mermaids. And because we kept on running around asking everyone about narwhals. Ta pretended to be one. And GOODNESS I CAN'T EVEN STAND HOW MUCH I LOVE MY LIFE. MY DORM IS FORKING AWESOME. I love that this is my freshman year of college. This IS my freshman year. This is what I will look back on as my college days. And what days they are. WHAT DAYS THEY ARE!
I had to do my midterm essay today but I had many a distraction. But happy distractions. Mel and M and Be and MY LIFE.
I LOVE IT.
I spent the majority of the daylight hours decorating the suite with Ra and Al. We decorated it with colorful tape and made stuff like whales and hot air balloons and little creatures. It looks fantastic. I'm so happy. I'm...so happy. I really am. I'm about to cry over how happy I am. That could just be because it's late. But man. My life. I love it. I don't think I can express it. I'm in love with my dorm and everything around me. I am. I am!

The Heron and Rosanna
"Teach me how to cycle
And I'll teach you how to glide,"
Said the heron to Rosanna
By the sunny waterside.
Impossible, impossible,
But wait, look over there:
The heron on the saddle
And Rosanna in the air.
In other news, Halloween was a WEIRD night, filled with interpersonal stories, emergencies, happenings, and all KINDS of things. Stories better told not in blog form.
