Anyfing

Today was a really good day. And so was yesterday. And so was the day before. Gosh! I've gotten bad at blogging every day.

Okay.

Tuesday was Mardi Gras, and we painted some SWEET masks on our faces with face paint and glitter and glued on rhinestones with eyelash glue. And lived it up. And I woke up with beads in my hair. And then re woke up without beads in my hair.

Yesterday we had an eating party with guacamole and hummus and bean dip. And it was real fun.

Today we had shirley temples in Sa's room and then had a dance party to the Vengaboys. It as GREAT. And then we listed to the I'd Do Anything For You song a lot, and Mel and Ke and I learned all the words and the dance and performed it for Ge and anyone else who would listen. And we made our three cheeses and jalapeno bread and some more guacamole.

I started a new sketchbook too.

Today was good
today was fun
tomorrow is another one!

Food porn

This weekend. I don't think I blogged much this weekend. And by that I mean I know I didn't blog much this weekend. I think it's because I've been sick and I'm always bad at blogging when I'm sick. I'm not that sick though. So don't you worry your pretty little heads.

I read this book last night/today and OH MY GOODNESS IT WAS SO GOOD. It's called the Shaman's Apprentice and I did not want to put that puppy down. I stayed up last night reading and then WOKE UP EARLY THIS MORNING to read more. And I'm so sad it ended because it was so freakin interesting. It was for Mel and Meg and Ta and Ra and Pi's class, and so I decided to read through it and highlight the important parts to help them out, and for serious guys go read that book if you are at all interested in medicinal plants or Amazonian cultures.

I would say it was a low key weekend, but it really wasn't. Je left, which was sad because it's Je and what is my dorm without him. But we had a good goodbye party for him before he left. He led us on a spiritual journey. And there was dancing. And theeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnn let's see more stuff happened that night, I'm sure of it.

Then Saturday we went to Jai's apartment and were there for a while, and then went to the Anime convention and then came back after like one minute.

Ever since Meg and To started having lots of sex in Meg's bed everyone has been all hunkered down cuddling with everyone else in that bed. Which is just silly.

Mum's the word

I like the middle of the night because I can sing along to my music without fear of being heard.

I found what smelled in my room. Once upon a time back in December Li gave me a pumpkin that she painted and I put it on top of my wardrobe and forgot that pumpkins rot. The end.

Today I mostly did homework. But immediately upon waking up I walked to the fourth floor and found Ta and Pi blasting hellogoodbye and dancing their little hearts out, and it was fantastic.

No loved his space saw.

Living Room

is still my favorite song.

Twain

Today was a really good day.

Something smells in my room. The last time something smelled and I couldn't find it for a while, when I finally found it it was a rotting bat carcass.

Today instead of having class we just had to go to one activity. Ke and I went to this activity which was all these middle aged people singing Beatles songs and Amazing Grace and Lean on Me, and there was this adorable little girl dancing around, and it was SO hippie and so much shorter and later and easier than class.

And then Mel and Ke and Be and I went for a great walk through the woods to the beach. We found a lot of really pretty stones and it was sunshiney and wonderful. I was so happy.

And then after that Ke and Mel and Ra and I all napped in Meg's bed for a while. And then stuff went DOWN on lost. And then I arranged all the rocks to that they were in the right order and in the right places. And then Bej and I played on the American Girl website. And then we delivered the space saw to No.

We are nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111

Good lord.

Had you asked me last Monday what would have gone down this past weekend, I would NEVER have made the predictions. WHAT SORT OF ODD NEW UNIVERSE AM I LIVING IN?

Ummm
if ever you want to know what a jackrabbit in distress sounds like
I totally know.

Tea Shop

Today I accidentally burned my hair and eyebrow and the tips of my eyelashes on the left side of my face. My eyelashes look really cool though, cause the tips are white and feathered like I'm wearing weird snow mascara.
It's so Prince Zuko too, you have no idea. Too bad about that hair though.

Then Je spilled over some water, and he stands there and says WHY DO I RUIN EVERYTHING, and as he does that his pants fall down, and as he bends over to pull them up Ia opens the door and Je's rear is facing him, and then he gives a really awkward look and leaves, then comes back in and kicks Je in the behind and leaves cause he thought Je was mooning him, and then Je was like he kicked me full force and Ia was like you don't even want to know full force.

That happened.

I also made tissue paper flowers for people.

And we watched the end of Avatar. I cannot believe it is over. Sigh.

Love to hate, hate to love

Oh jeez.
OH jeez.
Last night. Was one of THOSE nights. To such great extents. Oh jeez.

I would have blogged about it then, but my computer was in Meg and Mel's room, and Meg and To were getting it on in there.

One of. Those nights.

Towards the end of it though there was an incredible rap battle with Je and Ja and Bej and Av. Made me happy.

It was a really good night. But stuff went DOWN let me tell you.

(Repeat once more, with vigor!)

OKAY, I JUST REALLY WANT TO DRESS UP AS THE PAINTED LADY AND GO TO AN AVATAR CONVENTION, HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE, IF YOU GUESSED REALLY COOL YOU ARE CORRECT!

QUICK EVERYONE, COME SEE HOW CUTE I LOOK

Today was a really good day. But I've been strangely sad these past two days and I don't know why. Here's a fun fact about me: every time I say that, I have a really legitimate reason for being sad, but I'm so bad at accessing my emotions / so good at locking up my emotions that I don't know what it is. Then sometimes I figure out what is making me sad, and by sometimes I mean usually, and then I'm like oh that was blaringly obvious. But aside from that I've been sad, today was a REALLY good day.

It's 4:51 am now. Too early. Too late.

When Ke and I woke up to go to class today we found snow, and then we were making up the situation of how funny it would be if we had run through the halls yelling GUYS EVERYONE WAKE UP THERE'S SNOW OUTSIDE IT'S SNOWING GRAB YOUR MITTENS GRAB YOUR HAT SNOW EVERYBODY SNOW! Because our class starts at 9 and most people then are still sleeping, and then there was snow in my hair and Ke was like WOW YOU LOOK SO CUTE so then we evolved to being like WAIT EVERYONE, HOLD UP A SECOND, I AM SO ADORABLE RIGHT NOW, I'M JUST SO CUTE I SCARE MYSELF.

And then class got cut an hour short cause of the snow, so naptime started early. Ke picked up the phone in the classroom and was like HELLO? NAPTIME CAME EARLY! And the guy behind us thought we were crazy.

Then we napped for a while.

And then we went to dinner, and Mel was really weird at Ge by mistake, so then we tried to talk to him again and she was still really weird. And then WAIT TODAY WAS SUCH A GOOD DAY, I KEEP ON REMEMBERING REALLY GOOD THINGS THAT HAPPEN, I HAVE TOO MANY TO WRITE ABOUT.

Okay again at dinner it was just me and Mel in the room cause we went late and we were in the back room, but then this kid from her class came and sat with us, and he must have thought I was like brain damaged INSANE because I was telling this weird story about a deer when he sat down, and then Mel told him about the womb shrooms, and it just got really weird.

And then when we got back to the dorm I got a big box full of toilet paper in the mail, so Mel and Ra and I dressed up in the packaging and went to visit Av, and he gave us mint carob and peanut butter and Ge thought we were on so many drugs but we weren't.

And then Mel and I went to Mel's room and Sa came in and we talked about HOW DELICIOUS MAPLE BUTTER IS, OH MY GOD. AND SA BROUGHT UP LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE BOOKS, NOT THAT DUMB TV SHOW THAT DIDN'T EVEN FOLLOW THE PLOT BUT THE BOOKS. And Mel and I died a little because we had just been reveling in the glory of Little House books over dinner.

Annddd theennnnn Bej and I played online for a while, and then we set out looking for matches and things were SO WEIRD and it wasn't even the middle of the night, and we both knew that without talking because we understand each other. And then Bej went to take long exposure pictures outside and Be made lots of noises and then we watched a lot of Avatar. And a lot of really good stuff happened today. But now it's 5:00 am.

Tumbleweed

The Moon Is There, I Am Here is now my fourth most played song on itunes, after Living Room, Parentheses, and Stickshifts and Safety belts. And before Little Miss Pipedream.

Now that says something.

I'm back in my dorm again. The funeral was sad. Like, really sad. I cried a lot more than I expected to. And then the reception was horribly awkward, with me all like puffy faced and still crying a little but in front of like all these extended family and friend people who were all coming up to me and telling me how sorry they were and asking me about college, and I just felt really awkward about the entire situation. Gram was just so loved. Seeing Grandfather go up to the urn in the ground and saying, "So long, sweetheart," broke my little heart.

I got in some good bonding with cousin Will though.

And now I'm back to my dorm family. Bej recorded a Britney Spears cover album. It is great.

Beach




















Half

Freshman year reached its halfway point, and that frightens me deeply because I don't want it to ever end.

Friday, February 6, 2009

Come on Ta

So I'm in southold now. the shift key on this computer does not seem to want to be working so i'm just going to not capitalize stuff.

last night i had to get on the airport shuttle at 4:30 am so i just stayed up cause i'm up at 4:30 a lot anyway, and be and bej stayed up with me.

this really funny interaction went down between be and bej and ta, but i don't think i can even describe it because it was so odd. it involved a mattress, a hallway, a trash can, and a wooden spoon.

and then be and bej and i were in pi's room for a while even though pi was never there, we were just inhabiting it, and they bej played the guitar and be sang a song to me about how we would always be friends and how sad they were that i was leaving, and i realized as this was all going down how great they are and how great that is....it was all very beautiful.

and we watched some more avatar.

and then i flew to southold. and that's where i am right now.

15 THINGS ABOUT ME!

1. My ultimate burrito is rice, pinto beans, cheese, and guacamole without onion bits. When I try to branch out and try other things in my burritos I end up pining for my old fave.

2. Every time I hear your mom jokes I think about the time Zayde said "yo momma's so fat she was born with a silver shovel in her mouth." I also think of that every time I think of Zayde.

3. Rape jokes make me uncomfortable.

4. Recently as I've been falling asleep I've been sometimes experiencing this weird in between state where I'm still awake but my body feels like it has disappeared and I hallucinate people in the room with me, but not frightening demons like Y does but like my friends from the dorm, and then I think they're actually in my room as I'm trying to go to sleep, so thank goodness it isn't demons cause that would be unpleasant.

5. I've been waking myself up by making weird little moan/squeak noises recently. Good thing I don't have a roommate or else I'd be embarrassed.

6. I don't even KNOW what I would do if I had a roommate. I don't even KNOW. HOW DOES ONE DO IT?

7. I'm really, REALLY bad at believing that people could/would/ever have romantical feelings for me. Like REALLY bad at it. You don't even know.

8. I sing all the time when nobody can hear me.

9. I don't really like watching movies or TV except for a few certain shows.

10. I think coming to this college was 100% the right choice for me and I cannot imagine going anyplace else.

11. I don't understand how so many people our age around here think racism and sexism are a thing of the past and don't apply to life these days. WHAT.

12. I LOVE smart people. LOVE it. Oh my goodness.

13. I didn't really want to write this, instead I wanted to ask you guys to write 25 things about me, just cause I think it would be interesting to see what 25 facts you would put. But then I thought if I asked nobody would do it and then it would just be awkward.

14. I don't stay in one place for very long around here. I spend a lot of time wandering about seeing what everyone is up to.

15. Being away from home has made me like my last name so much more, cause around here nobody else has my last name and so it's like just a last name like everyone else's instead of that super common name that everyone has.

I'll write 10 more tomorrow. Now I really have to sleep.

KE AND I. THREW A PROM YESTERDAY. AND EVERYONE LOVED IT. THEY DRESSED UP. THEY ASKED DATES. THEY POSED IN FRONT OF OUR DUMB BACKGROUND. THEY SWING DANCED. IS THERE ANYTHING KE AND I CANNOT DO. NO. NO THERE IS NOT.

BORN?

There was sunlight shining in my window this morning. And when I looked outside, everything was lit up by sun.

I have not seen that in a LONG time. That whole "where the sun don't shine" thing - truth.

ANYWAY

130, night light

OH jeez today.

Oh jeez.

SO we went to Co Wo's superbowl party. We being Ke and I. Yeah. That happened. We actually had quite a nice time. And we ended up playing peer dong. In Co Wo's apartment. With Co Wo. WHAT.

And then we came back and watched more avatar.

And then Be asked me to prom. Want to know how he did it? Yeah you do. Here is how it all went down. He made huge letters that said PROM? with the dot of the question mark being a heart, and he went to the dorm across from ours into random peoples rooms on the top floor and put the letters in the window so that when I looked out the window from Sa's room I would see it.

AIN'T THAT SWEET.

And then Ke and I painted the backdrop for prom with Ta and Be and Ra's help.

And then everyone went to sleep and it was just me and Bej, and we found SO many measurement mysteries in our dorm you don't even KNOW. The elevator was always 69 inches across on every floor. And we could not let go of our ends of the tape measurer. And we found out SO MANY THINGS.

Finding out something I've known for quite a while

Tonight was a really good night. It was an average sort of day but then the night got really good. It was so good it makes me cry a little of how good my life is, and that hasn't happened in a while.

So I guess this blog post is technically about today only since it is about everything that happened after 12 or so. Usually the blogs are about both today and yesterday.

Our time really IS the dark time, a couple of deals before dawn. IT'S JUST SO TRUE. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Okay so it started with Be and I in the hall outside of Ke's room, and Be says are you going to go to sleep? And I say no. And then we walk upstairs and find Se, and Se says have you seen a half naked girl running around? I lost her. And we say no we have not, we would have remembered if we had, and then Be goes into the suite and finds a half naked girl in the bathroom and says SE I FOUND YOUR HALF NAKED GIRL! And then I was witness to a 403 music and dance session of Bej playing guitar and Be drumming and Se singing (like GETTIN it singing) and Jo dancing. I CANNOT EXPRESS TO YOU. HOW MANY THINGS. THAT SITUATION IS.

That was the first time I cried a little of how good my life was.

And THEN Bej and Be and I went into Se's room to hang out. Because my life is inappropriate. And first I lost my ability to speak and then Be lost his ability to speak but he had his phone to text with.

Mel calls texts tecs.

And Bej was playing guitar. And then Bej and I went into the common room and Bej was still playing guitar. And then we heard a girl coughing and it was a damsel in distress so we went to see who it was and what was happening but all we found was Pi. And then Ne walked over with chocolate rice krispies and milk that expires when I'm 19 and a bowl, and then Kr and Pi are having a water fight in the hall and are so boistrous that Be comes out in his robe and then I'm laughing so much at the water fight that I'm on the floor laughing and then Bej still has his guitar and starts playing a song that is about how we live in freshman dorms and this is what is happening.

My life is geniuz.

My mouth tastes like kissing. Not that I have been kissing anyone. It just tastes like it.
