lame

My professor of sociology just e-mailed to let the class know that we are no longer permitted to bring laptops into class.

he just noticed that no one pays attention to that shit

confession:

I purchased a Taylor Swift song off of iTunes.
Also a Lady Gaga song.


yiiikes

magical

I like michael jackson as much as anyone else does. No weird obsessions or anything.
However, I am head-over-heels in love with this song. It is on repeat as I type. It's great shit.

I'm surprised I haven't talked about it until now.
It is the olivia wilde of songs.

If I could somehow fight past all the hype-ass people trying to get tickets for This Is It, I would watch that movie just for this song. However, I won't be able to, because this guy's fans are fanatical. And I will absolutely not buy this movie, because it would be really stupid to watch in your living room. But, in a nice Regal Cinema with some sourpatch watermelons. That is my ideal afternoon right now.

almost as embarassing as peeing your pants:

admitting you like Ghost Whisperer.

uh oh

flower death

I smell a faint sweet smell that almost sits on the nostrils in an unpleasant way.

I think it's the lavender I stole from my sister's wedding, slowly rotting on my desk.

Humph. I don't think I'll remove them quite yet.

i want

everything on this website, but especially these guys:

flowers in a can.

if you are wondering... I would accept these on any occasion. It doesn't even have to be my birthday.
You're welcome.

Truthness.

"Everytime your bitch burp, you smell my balls in the air."
Crooked I, The One by Slaughterhouse

(excerpt taken from Snacks and Shit).

just thought this phrase should be repeated.

Really, though...

I love this school.

I started to feel sick after sitting in the dining hall for an hour, so I got up and left my friends. While walking from the dining hall to my friends' dorm, I got an alert on my cell phone:

The school is in lockdown. There is a dangerous individual in the proximity of the campus. Get in a room, lock the door, close the windows and shades. Do not come out until further notification. THIS IS NOT A DRILL

There are a lot of sketchy people around the campus. We are located in the ghetto. So, for the school to make a big deal about someone is weird. There are shootings and muggings and stuff weekly, and we just get e-mails notifying us about it.

So, locked in the room, more information started filtering in. The dangerous individual was seen walking in the sparse trees (called "woods" in the text) around our campus, barefoot and with camo pants on. He had just committed armed robbery against a McDonalds (forever earning him the name HAMBURGLAR), and the Hartford PD was in pursuit.

Four hours later, he shot at the police, and then killed himself.
I was freed, and am now safely back in my room with my candy corn.

watching stuff

up until now, netflix has been a beautiful thing.

However, I am actively trying to watch Weeds on the instant watch thing, and it is going so slowly.

Tomorrow I will watch the Machinist, and feel better about the 9 dollars a month.

Things I don't understand

Part 3: Sickness

Why am I perpetually sick?

How come you only get out of classes when you're in terrible conditions and cannot enjoy your time off?

Why do I only want to eat fried foods when I'm sick?

What if I have Mono? Or the swine? Can i go home and hang out with mom?

If we killed sick people, would less people get sick?

Are freshman more susceptible to illness? They are the worst.

yet again avoiding drawing homework

Unecessary

Jesse James is a Joke.

if you like her music, turn your eyeballs off and listen to the music with your ears.

thank me later.

a great conversation.

I was in a bathroom stall in my friend's dorm when I heard two voices coming from the shower:

lady 1: I think I have stretch marks!
lady 2: What? You're so skinny!
lady 1: Mine are from losing weight. They're on my butt.
Lady 2: Ohh, I see. I didn't know you could get them from losing weight!
Lady 1: Well, I do. Especially in my butt.
Lady 2: I hope I get some soon, I've been going to the gym a lot.

I love this school sooooo much

Things I don't understand

Part 2: Social Psychology Class

Why, professor, are you so incredibly boring?

If we have talked about Milgram in the past 3 psychology courses, why are we talking about it again in this one? And why for the first 2 months of class? Has anything changed in the experiment since the 60s?

Who takes the time to write up these insanely long lab reports on attribution style?

Why did I sign up for this class?

Who the fuck smells so bad in here? I have some hand sanitizer in my bag you can bathe in.

amazing crafts of fetuses and dead animals

Jersey Schorr has introduced me to something glorious

regresty

do it.

Perfection

going from this past weekend back into school has been absolutely the most painful transition ever
How beautiful is this shit?

fabulous

great wedding.
Insane family dancing for 4 hours, drinking a gin-and-ginger for the first time (highly recommended), running out of deoderant, eating the best cake ever, bawling my way through a short toast, wearing really uncomfortable heels, letting my afro out, and consuming large amounts of coffee, so as to avoid falling into a sleep-deprivation-induced coma, talking with aunts about books, talking with uncles about the bullshitasticness of sociology, going to a lavender farm, forgetting to brush my teeth.

now:
watching heroes (finally!)
napping with the puppy, who is the best napper I've ever had the pleasure of working with.
making then eating potato leek soup
showering (once)
hanging out with my fabuloso cousins
Mourning the passing of the best weekend ever

the worst part about going home is knowing I'll have to leave again.

Exciting news!

I have bronchitis

And the antibiotics make me feel sick.
And my ears are clogged with nastiness.
And I missed house last night.

Things I don't understand

Part 1
Television:
Why would you watch Greys Anatomy when House exists?
Who decided it was OK to give Brett Michaels 3 TV shows and an E! True Hollywood Story?
Why do I read interesting news on Perezhilton.com before I see it on TV?
How come I only recently discovered the Misadventures of Flapjack?
(look into it, it's fabulous)
Why would you watch the Hills, the City or Gossip Girl, under any circumstances, ever?
Where the hell has 30 Rock been?

yowza

instead of studying for the 2 exams I have on tuesday (in the two classes I have done minimal (no) reading for), I have been doing drawing homework. Miserable.
However, I am less sick than I was before, which is exciting.

I fear I will have to miss house tomorrow night for the sake of studying.



But probably not because I love him.

sickness

my nose is exploding with nastiness
i'm coughing up things that may or may not be alive
and i sound like i should be breathing from an oxygen tank, thanks to emphezema caused by at least 100 years of smoking

Best Weekend Ever

... Is coming up!
On october 17th, the biggest party at my prepster college shall commence.
It won some award at some point for being absolutely nuts.

here is an exerpt from the Trinity Tripod,
"Tropical is an annual party thrown by the brothers of the Psi Upsilon fraternity, or Psi U. Because of the cold temperatures and the tropical attire requirement, intoxication is a student's only hope to stay warm, but students have to be 21 in order to get a drink, so many students try to get drunk enough for an entire night of partying in a single pregame. This leads to complete chaos. Students jumped onstage to grind with the DJs, and the pool was never without screaming students intoxicated enough to find swimming in cold temperatures to be a good idea. "At the high point of the party, there are close to 1000 individuals on our property," said Psi U president, Alex Knote '07.

But the drunken madness is not what makes this party worth the 15 dollar entrance fee. Sand covered the entire backyard of the Psi U house, and a huge hole had been dug into the ground to create a pool. A lifeguard sits atop a recently placed chair overseeing the mass of swimming students. A DJ had been hired to get the students dancing, and a dance floor (covered in sand of course) with a tent over it holds the hoards of students."

wonderful.
This, by the way, is the same party at which the captain of the water polo team dug a 3-foot-deep pool in the backyard of the frat, then proceeded to get absolutely wasted, and dove into it headfirst. I got there after the ambulances left, and the party, featuring the Ying Yang Twins, persisted.
The water polo captain was in the ICU for a week, and he is paralyzed now.

WOOOO I LOVE COLLEGE

if anyone is interested in visiting for the festivities.... I might just end up going, if only to show you the insanity.

first comment in forever

Anonymous: "how do you eat that much for breakfast and still diet?"

Alright, mom, stop being so sassy.
Just because I love sausage and grapefruit doesn't mean I eat it. I mean, I do eat grapefruit. But, I was just mentioning all of the things I love about breakfast in general.

I wish I had sausage, though. It's pretty much just grilled fat
and it is soooo delicious.

offa mah back!
