YAHOO!

WHY MUST YOU TEMPT MY IMAGINATION SO. I CANNOT HANDLE THIS VISUAL SO EARLY IN THE MORNING. AND BY CANNOT HANDLE I MEAN WILL BE THINKING OF THROUGHOUT TODAY'S ENTIRE SYMPOSIUM.

You lead

Today.
Al and Ha and Co and I went into the woods today, but not the normal woods, this part down the road, and it was dead drop beautiful. We were sitting on this fallen tree that went over this little river, and there were all these mossy trees and rainforest all around, and we had to hike a bit to get there, and I really want to go back and take pictures and paint it or something because I swear it was the most beautiful place.
Then we wandered around in the forest and looked at all these beautiful trees and foresty things, COULD I GET ANY MORE MYCOLLEGE I KNOW RIGHT, and we found this tree that EITHER looked remarkably like a totem pole with a bird and a monster OR was a totem pole of a bird and a monster carved into a tree a long time ago with moss growing over it. I tried to figure it out for a long time, I could not. And Ha found a kokopelli in the leaves next to sky. And then she got lost leading us out, and we are in the middle of the woods having wandered off the trail, and she turns around and points into this like CLEARLY not a thing dense underbrush and tells me, "You lead." And it was hilarious. I swear. And then we went back and watched CNN (and breifly this documentary about tarantulas but Ha screamed and hid), and the tv was broken so it had a sort of rainbow going through it, and hilarity ensued.
Anddd then I had to ask A about her creepy stalker. And then I went up to Sa's room and found him there with Be, and Be taught me how to play his little computer game and it ended up being markedly like Age of Empires so I was able to kick some enemy butt, and it was fun and hearkened back to my geek days.
ANDDDD then we hung out with a bunch of people in the common room, and hilarity once again ensued. And then Be and Je and I went down to my floor to see if anything interesting was happening and made a sort of hall party and played that hand slapping move your hand away game.
And then the night ended with apple cider and brownies in Be's room.

Plus I got my new free minifridge today, which is actually pretty sizable, so if I go grocery shopping I will have a minifridge to put stuff in.

I feel like there was something else interesting to report.
Hm.
I don't know.
Oh well.

OH I REMEMBER
Pi had sex today, and everybody knew it because Ad reported their room as smelling of sex, and Ta reported their suite of smelling of sex, and he kept on blushing and getting embarrassed and leaving the room whenever anyone would applaud or shout comments, and ONCE AGAIN PEOPLE THE HILARITY, IT ENSUED.

Sweetest little insomniac west of the Mississippi

It's three am, I've been trying to sleep since twelve, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? Especially since I could not stay awake during There Will Be Blood. HELLO BODY, AWAKE FOR MOVIE, SLEEP FOR BEDTIME PLEASE. And I have class at nine tomorrow. And the same thing happened last night. Where is the narcolepsy of yore?

Remember that thing

With the dorm and the banging and the halls? Here is a picture of it.


After it was over I thought that the police had arrested Ad and Wa and Ta and Ne for making too much noise and Jai and I had escaped just in time. Why? Because sometimes I think things that aren't real. Or so I've found.

Also I remembered how when Jai and I went to make some Ovaltine last night her roommates were sitting in the dark in the living room and one was slowly reading aloud what I think was a course description, though I can't guarantee it, in this monotone voice, and the rest were sitting there quietly listening to it, and it was SO EERIE and confusing. And after Jai asked what WAS that and I could not tell her. Either the suitemates were messing with our minds or they do WEIRD chanty course description stuff in their spare time.

Decor


The suitemates decorated for halloween, when I came back home last night and found orange and cobwebs everywhere, it was...awe-inspiring. Not as confusing as that time I went into Li's dorm to find she had changed all her furniture around. THAT was disorienting.

TODAY I got out of bed at three and did homework until now, with an hour's break for dinner. COLLEGE!

In his crown I will sway

GUESS WHAT I DID IN A BATHROOM TONIGHT!

Hm. I guess if you're anyone but us that doesn't portray the same meaning I'm going for. BUT YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND ME, RIGHT??
Speaking of understand me, Be says he knew I was weird from the moment he met me, PEOPLE UNDERSTAND ME HERE.

Gosh today was fantastic, IT WAS FANTASTIC! I woke up, did a ton of reading, and then we went for a picnic on the field because it was wildly warm and gorgeous, and it ended up being HILARIOUS because...gosh I don't even know, maybe it was residual effects, maybe it was just really genius, but stuff happened like Ad talking on the phone to All's friend and Pi saying, "tell them you have hobbit feet," and Ad saying, "I have hobbit feet" without meaning to. He does. Have hobbit feet. And he can hold his toes together like they're hands. And this guy in Li's class who is apparently really weird came over, and I think he was on a lot of substance because he first asked Li if she was an angel and then he played this card game where he introduced it as a card trick and then would just hold up two cards and ask us to pick left or right, Ta got the logo card so he told him to go deeper than logos, Je got a ten and he told him that five times two was ten so he had "five on one hand and two on the other" (we still don't know what that means) and that he was going to turn into a wizard, and such FUNNY dumb stuff kept on happening like that and it was warm and great.

Then I went into Oly with folks. And it was nice.

THEN we played in Jai's bathroom, and it was JUST LIKE OLD TIMES.

And then we hung out in Sa's room for a while, and my head was leaning up against the bedpost thing and Be was playing the drums on the bedpost thing and it was like it was INSIDE MY HEAD and then went to this off campus party with a DJ and EVERYONE was there and we had some great dancing. And then we went back to Jai's apartment and had macaroni and cheese and general good times.

I love my life. I really do.

Only when my wife wants me to

Today was a very typical my-college day. I woke up at three, went to the bookstore with All and Ta and bought lots and lots of books with my summer camp free money cards, had dinner in the cafeteria, went into the woods, came back to the dorms, went to the reef (diner frequented by college students in such conditions), then came back to the dorms. It really just could not get more typical.

NOTABLE EVENTS
-I called A to ask her what song she sings when she does sneaky stuff (because Be had been singing a song when attacking and it reminded me) and then Be wanted to talk to A and when he did SHE KNEW IT WAS HIM WITHOUT HIM TELLING OR ANYTHING. PSYCHIC?!!?!
-Je ended up very jeeked, so when we came back from Oly and were watching a movie at like two in the morning we kept on telling him it was a silent movie, because before the sound hadn't worked and we had been saying stuff like SA TURN UP THE VOLUME WE CAN'T HEAR and WAIT, HOW COME I CAN'T HEAR IT and SHHH GUYS I'M TRYING TO LISTEN, and that was before Je came in so he didn't get the joke, so then it was a joke on top of joke. IT WAS REALLY FUNNY GUYS. REALLY.
-Be and I are going to go into business together, we have the best idea, only I can't reveal it here because I don't want anyone taking it cause it is where the money is, believe you me
-After returning from the woods Jai and I found Ad and Ta and Wa and Ne in the dorms, and then we ended up somehow having this amazing musical session thing on the dorm, Ta was playing the mandolin, Ne was using drumsticks on the banister, Jai and I were stomping on the stairs, and Wa and Ad were lying on the floor with their feet on the ledge banging it, and we made music, and then we all stopped on the same beat without even coordinating it, it was GREAT.
-Title of this post is what the policeman said in response to the question of if he ever wore a mask
