Bricklayers and Light Installers, Unite!

The wind blows through my tiny hermitage,
Not one thing is in the room.
Outside, a thousand cedars;
On the wall, several poems are written.
Now the kettle is covered with dust,
And no smoke rises from the rice steamer.
Who is pounding at my moonlit gate?
Only an old man from East Village.

- Ryokan (1758-1831)

Siiigh, I'm all alone in my room here until I run down the hill to my psych interview...My roomie left,. Ha ha ha, me and my roomie aren't cynical at ALL(an excerpt of our conversation as she headed out the door):

"If I don't come back, it means I've found a better future for myself ...and dropped out." ~a (on going and seeing her councellor)
"ha ha ha ha!" ~me
"You never know, it MIGHT happen..." ~a
"Or you could just become a bricklayer..." ~me
"...or just install those lights! I was lying there wondering how much those light installers make..."~a (exiting the door)
(I stick my head out the door and yell down the hall at her)
"Good luck on becoming a bricklayer....or light fixture-installer!!"
(angela gasps with feigned delight, clutching her heart and rounds the corner...laughing...dramatically)

The light fixture guys finally came and did our room....angela fell asleep while they were HERE!! Augh, I would be so freaked out! Wait, no, not really. If you gotta sleep, you gotta sleep...

Ah, I had a full night's rest last night. Marvelous. Oooh, and I even got to talk to my big sis Bridget, who I never hear from, and my friend sarah. Here's some funny stuff:

This is Sarah and I:

Marvy. And now, must skitter off to be interviewed...Whenever am I going to get my hw done?!?
Shucks.

Only SOME-what screwed, thankyou!

Gawd, I was so frantic last night, and I didn't even need to be! My pic 10 homework is due on wednesday... But I'm STILL going to try to get it done today/tomorrow. Must do my stats reading and hw, and floor government meeting. Thank god sorority meeting was quick tonight. I feel like a squished bug. Only three hours of sleep last night! I'm going to bed as soon as I send in my Psych survey... Ughhh.

When I'm all done with the whole two weeks thing, I'll post all my little "Positive things that happened today" sections, and you all can laugh at all the little things that make my day happy. Oooh, on another note, must make crown for Heather, and finished wand....hope she doesn't read this. Ooh, card for thao and Heather, and must talk to Jeff about book-borrowing and sailing t-shirt making!

Hmmmm. Much fun stuff to do, so LATERS!

I AM SO SCREWED! FUCKKKKK!

That said, here's some amusing stuff (too tired to format it):

---

senorcow: hey buddy

HWTEgrl: hey

senorcow: i have decided that i am going to be in an asian boy band

HWTEgrl: eheh heh heh, and how did you come to THIS decision?

senorcow: i saw the yatta video

senorcow: have you seen it?

senorcow: it's absolutely spectacular

HWTEgrl: oh yeah, saw that sucker

HWTEgrl: at the 2nd sw premier

senorcow: whaaaaaaat?

senorcow: sw?

senorcow: i wish i knew more about them
because i so desperately want to join

HWTEgrl: star wars. HAHAHA

senorcow: that's what i thought, but it doesn't make any sense

senorcow: yatta has really absolutely
nothing to do with star wars

HWTEgrl: and the eigth member of
yatta is....

HWTEgrl: PANDA!

senorcow: really i have the look and the danceability

HWTEgrl: i know, the crazies in line
thought it was hilarious

HWTEgrl: so they counted down the hours until showtime by showing it every hour, on the hour

HWTEgrl: they had beach balls with the lyrics on them

senorcow: i just saw it today and i had an epiphany, i have to join

HWTEgrl: of course, there's the whole mostly-naked performing thing

HWTEgrl: with the leaf!

senorcow: i'm down with that

senorcow: i'm sure i look much better near
naked than they do

senorcow: eh? eh?

senorcow: alright crazy lady, i have to go
sleep off this mouth thing

senorcow: night

HWTEgrl: nigh!!

HWTEgrl: t!

senorcow: haha bye

HWTEgrl: ciao

HWTEgrl: ps, i need color ink!!!

MomTheMag8: Poor baby, I see color

MomTheMag8: If you were out of
color ink, I'd only be seeing black.

HWTEgrl: ...eh? HREEEEEEEY

MomTheMag8: ink

HWTEgrl: red, yellow, and blue

HWTEgrl: i have an extra bw

MomTheMag8: What happened to red
yellow, blue. Have you been printing posters?

HWTEgrl: no.

HWTEgrl: I dunno where all the ink went...oh, wait, i do!

HWTEgrl: i jacked these cartridges
out of YOUR printer when I was home during the summer...they were
half full then

HWTEgrl: O:-)

MomTheMag8: :'C you shold have jacked some full ones.

HWTEgrl: there weren't any, cheapie!

HWTEgrl: you were waiting for them to go "on sale" if i remember right

MomTheMag8: Funny, mine seem to

HWTEgrl: *snarls*

HWTEgrl: ARRRRRG!

MomTheMag8: Are you getting low on
Tampons, too?

HWTEgrl: uhm....pads...

HWTEgrl: rolling eyes

MomTheMag8: I don't see that in

HWTEgrl: :-Di know...it's supposed to

MomTheMag8: They came thru as underlined

HWTEgrl: yessdear


I tell him about my fishies... and he talks about CARS...Humpf!

HWTEgrl: whups

MomTheMag8: What are the fishes
names?

HWTEgrl: "the bob" (aka bomb diggety) and "Bilgesucker"

HWTEgrl: hee hee

HWTEgrl: i like bilgesucker, particularly

MomTheMag8: Is that the gold one?

HWTEgrl: the calico

HWTEgrl: the gold is the bob

MomTheMag8: The bob looks to be
the leader, he must be male.

HWTEgrl: they have snails to keep them company too

HWTEgrl: HA

HWTEgrl: yeah RIGHT

HWTEgrl: fat chance

MomTheMag8: Did you have any luck
with the X-copy program?

HWTEgrl: no. none. i'll keep looking

MomTheMag8: I did get a DVD writer,
don't tell mom...

HWTEgrl: i wont! :-Dyay!

MomTheMag8: The Bubcy engine is at the rebuilder. It will probably be ready
next week.

HWTEgrl: wow, three weeks?

HWTEgrl: not too shabby

MomTheMag8: I did a two day 3 place
junket this last weekend.

HWTEgrl: yikes. did you take water and wear sunscreen/hat?


(he's pasty like me)

HWTEgrl: gee

MomTheMag8: Got all the cars
memorized.

HWTEgrl: ha ha ha, you know that it's a bad thing when you got them memorized...

MomTheMag8: I went on a junket the
weekend before, and picked up a head for bubcy.

HWTEgrl: did you find anything on the
two-day oddessy?

MomTheMag8: Next week, the house
will be vacant, so will probably end the junkets for a while

HWTEgrl: where are you going?

MomTheMag8: odyssy?

MomTheMag8: odyessy

MomTheMag8: odessy

MomTheMag8: That was your mother

HWTEgrl: aha. right.

HWTEgrl: she knows that i worship the *spellcheck gods*, right?

HWTEgrl: O:-)


He tortures me with thoughts of home cooking....(or is it he tortures himself with mom's home cooking? ha ha)

MomTheMag8: I put your ham and
scalloped potatoes in a save place tonight..

MomTheMag8: yes next Wed

HWTEgrl: grrrrrrr. ham and scalloped
potaties?!? WAAAH!

MomTheMag8: I'm thinking about a
cookie...

HWTEgrl: okay, that's just NOT COOL

MomTheMag8: No ice cream here
though.

MomTheMag8: I had birthday cake
and donuts at work today.

HWTEgrl: aww, you poor people

HWTEgrl: ha ha, fatso!

HWTEgrl: good birthday cake?

MomTheMag8: Gracie made it for Ron
Prior

MomTheMag8: No ice cream there
either

HWTEgrl: wow, that was nice of her.
hey, have you given her something nice for the little xmas goodie she gave you?

MomTheMag8: The real time clock in
this computer is loosing time. I guess I will replace the battery

MomTheMag8: The kitchen clock says
11:30..


(family joke: the kitchen clock is almost NEVER on time...except when it's below the three and nine marks...and then only due to gravity!)

HWTEgrl: heh heh heh

HWTEgrl: funny, mine says 829....but
my other one says...

HWTEgrl: 913

MomTheMag8: I need to go, and let
you study. Gif the fishes a little food for me...Bye


Oh, it Gets BETTER and BETTER:

MomTheMag8: Hey

MomTheMag8: Do me a favor, look in
your computer stuff.

HWTEgrl: heyo

HWTEgrl: okay?

MomTheMag8: I remember giving
each girl two extra color cartridges.

HWTEgrl: what am i looking for

MomTheMag8: Little tin foil bags or
cardboard box with BCI-3 on them

HWTEgrl: nope.

HWTEgrl: i never got anything like
that...maybe juliana did

MomTheMag8: They should be with
the black cartridges

HWTEgrl: i only have one cartridge, and it's black

HWTEgrl: with a little orange sticker on it

MomTheMag8: Original packaging is a
little cardbaord box

HWTEgrl: nopa

HWTEgrl: :-(

MomTheMag8: It will say BCI-3y or 3b
or 3r

MomTheMag8: 3bl

MomTheMag8: Mine had a tab for
hanging on a display rack.

HWTEgrl: ...yeah. no

HWTEgrl: zip, zero, nada. zilch

MomTheMag8: They could have been
an off brand, too

MomTheMag8: Mine says print rite

HWTEgrl: look. i'll just go buy some blood INK, ok?

HWTEgrl: jesis

MomTheMag8: Oh well, I sent you an
e-mail, too. I got your away message...

MomTheMag8: Not sure if they sell
blond, will ask the secretary...

MomTheMag8: See you soon,Dad

So, the final result is that I FINALLY GOT SOME INK...after a three hour conversation where both my daddy and I display how well we can mangle, abuse, and generally butt-rape the english language. Oh, and he teases me unmercifully. Can you imagine what our dinner conversations are like? (Think: like this, but more entertaining and fast-paced.) Yeah. Asking for MONEY is easier than getting INK out of my dad's little grasping hot hands. Eeesh!

heh heh heh. luv u, daddy!

Operations, Salutations, and Sailing INVASIONS!

Okay, so I was slacking off yesterday. Yeah, I know, it was a sorry excuse for a post. Still, I had a great weekend. I spent Sunday out sailing on Riches to Rags (family boat) with Joe, Boris, Juliana, and bf (wassisname?)...as well as mom and dad. Hooray for rum and cokes and lots of chips and salsa! Marvelous--big roller waves (12 feet?!) and light winds from NW 8knots??.

Monday, went sailing AGAIN with the sailing team, or more accurately, went out on the Hobiecat with Joe & Kelly, then switched with Boris and Jake(? the new guy?) into the FJ's to sail back in. Practiced downwind gybing. Think I am getting the hang of it. Winds were too light to really get one hull out of the water on the 'Cat, but still, a lovely WET time. Winds from NW, 5-8knots and 3-4 foot waves.

Hurray! Kelly and I will probably be sailing a lot this summer!! Goooo varCity sailing (aha ha, my shirt says that). Hmm. Must remember to start work on sailing team shirt design. Goody goody, will enlist skank to help me. *whistles innocently* "dumdeedumdeedeedeeDUM!"

Caved in and bought my Stats book today--used. Still cheaper than anything online. Now to find myself a Psych book...ARG! Will have to borrow poor Skank's again. Did my homework between Pic and Stat's class this morning, AND read chapter one. Go ME! Now to read the rest. D'OH!

Plans for operation SNEAK proceed accordingly. All agents have been informed! LET THE FUN BEGIN, BWAHA HA HA!

Wonder where my big sis is? Haven't heard from her. Guess she's still incommunicado. Dang. At least Brooke is around.
Oog, forgot phone today...so no walking with my "walking buddy"~~WAH!

So, I basically spent the weekend sailing...for at least six hours a day...eighteen hours total! Invasion of the sailing bodysnatchers! hee hee hee
*maniacal laughter in background*

Snail bets...

THE SNAIL BETS HAVE BEEN PLACED!!:
Juliana 47
Elaine 42
Krystle 69
Mark 60
Angela 62
Janice 56
Jackie 137!
(there were 28 when we first counted)

Ahhhhh...a day well spent.

Beautiful sailing today. wind ten knots or so, from NW, waves three-5 feet from NW-W and WET and WILD~! Boris and I braved the ocean today... without our spray paints, but oh well, what the HELL, it was FUN! (frozen fingers aside). We're improving on our wave surfing techniques and our roll tacks...as well as downwind gybing. What fun! Glad I went.
I was an idiot last night; stayed up far too late and went to bed at three, but it was okay, because I slept until eleven, then got up and made myself human (after phil hill came by to return the beer-bottle opener).
Now I'm off to have din din with heather, and then back here to get some reading, studying and sail-planning done. Can't wait to go sailing manana!

And with no further ado,
I shall part with YOU!

Itchy Writing...

"Tenet Insanabile scribendi cacoethes" ~Juvenal Satire VII
(The incurable itch of writing posesses many)...

That said, here's some Sorority song silliness:
"O I'm a drunken AEPhi
And I like my Mai Tai's
My Miller by the bottle
And my moonshine by the stye-

I get drunk on all occasions
I'm as happy as a flea,
A hell of a place,
A hell of a face,
Now pass the Hennesy!

So Here's to AEPHI
Raise 'em up and drink e'm down,
So Here's to AEPHI
We get rowdy and get down!

So Here's to AEPHI
We're the best sorority,
So raise your glass
And lower your ass
And HOPE THE BOOZE IS FREE!!

Yeah. Free booze. Hmmm. Sounds REALLY good. That and sleep!

Y'know, people should really come with disclaimers printed across their foreheads (in these politically correct...and mostly idiotic times). So, you ask, what would one of these "disclaimer" notices look like? Simple:

WARNING: THIS PERSON CONTAINS HUMOR THAT MIGHT BE OFFENSIVE TO WOMEN, MEN, CHILDREN, TEENAGERS, CHRISTIANS, JEWS, MUSLIMS, ATHEISTS, AGNOSTICS, REPUBLICANS, DEMOCRATS, LIBERALS, CONSERVATIVES, LEFT HANDED PEOPLE, RIGHT HANDED PEOPLE, GERMANS, AMERICANS, FRIENDS, ENEMIES, ROMANS, COUNTRYMEN, JACQUES COUSTEAU LOVERS, COWBOYS, PIRATES, ICE SKATERS, BUTTERFLYS, MILKMEN WHOSE NAMES BEGIN WITH THE LETTER 'R', COME-GUZZLERS AND GENERALLY THE REST OF HUMANITY, AS WELL AS SOME FORMS OF BACTERIAL AND FUNGAL LIFE...

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
ESCAPE WHILE YOU STILL CAN...

Yup, that'd be my warning label. Or maybe we could just tattoo them to the bottom of our feet, and when someone complains, rip off our shoes and show them that they should have just asked us to do that in the first place. (Rip off our shoes, I mean). And if your feet smelled, and were offensive, well, you'd just be living up to your disclaimer label, wouldn't you?

We could even extend this silly labeling trend...just like my roomie and I have in our room. What a thought! Because, of course, in this era of frequent lawsuits, we wouldn't want anyone to sue us for misrepresenting ourselves....or any product either. Example: Mickie-Dees and the "caution, hot" labels on coffee cups...duh it's hot, shitheads! I think that it's only fair to fight back against the stupid labeling trend with greater stupidity in labels. For example, our microwave is labeled "Illegal microwave" and other labels, such as "drawer" "breeze makah" "Brain-rotting 27" tv (has no remote=supah ghetto)..." or even "booze holder" are a step in the right direction. It's a no hold's barred fight!! When in doubt....LABEL it!

Hmmm. Need to take out the recycle and do some reading/studying/homework... Oh well. OOh, I was up really late last night, and turned on the Ham radio-- evidently there's a really late talk net (the "redeye") on 14.6895, and last night's topic was space exploration, namely putting a man on mars. Which is a great idea, but why would we want to do that? Why don't we build a moon base (a much more viable option) since it's closer, and we don't have to develop as much technology to resist the harsh martian surface conditions. (COLD, storms, heat...dust/sand...) Once we had a base on the moon, and some infrastructure for developing further space forays in our solar system, we could think about going to mars. But really, what's the use? Unmanned probes can tell us all we need to know without putting a human being in such considerable risk. 'Sides, it'd take us 30 years to really get there...GET there....
Of course, some stupid people were like "well, why don't they spend the space program money here on earth were it'd be more useful....for the homeless and poor and healthcare..." First of all, dolts, the USA is the RICHEST and most technologically advanced country in the WORLD (barring japan, etc). It also has the most successful space program and has demonstrated an ability to CONSISTENTLY put people and equipment in space. (barring a few TERRIBLE tragedies...) Second, if america were going to use the space money on social welfare, we'd have a democratic president--because that's what the democrats do while in office.
HOWEVER, we have a republican government, which means economic and social aid experiences the "trickle-down" effect: increased spending by big corporations as encouraged by the Executive Branch (on things like the space program, incidentally) creates more jobs, boosting the economy and helping more people find jobs. So theoretically under this system, more poor people are employed.
There's also something called the "military industrial complex" that's particularly pertinent; big military spending, ususally under republican government improves the economy by pouring millions of federal dollars back into circulation...more money=more inflation, but more jobs as well=better for everyone. 'Sides, the Fed with Greenspan keeps inflation relatively low by changing banking interest rates.
NEXT, the value of space experimentation also affects our health. Tests on astronaughts and how the muscles, bones, and human body reacts in a weightless environment have suggested MULTIPLE useful data to improve the field of medicine. You name it, it's been studied in space; biology, exercise, physics, astronomy (hubble) --yup, been there, done that! One thing they've learned up there is that antioxidants extend your life...tea has them! also, they can study things like GRAVITY by experiencing its absence. With space physics, we now know that the laws of physics which were assumed constant, actually CHANGED since the beginning of the universe. And the search for other earth-worlds isn't a waste. Wouldn't you like to know if there is other life out there, even if it's only space fish under a frozen sea on the moons of Jupiter? There's something to be said in favor of doing science for the sake of LEARNING and advancing our horizons.
After all, wasn't it somebody or other who said that the more they learned, the more they found they were back at the beginning--finding they didn't really know anything?
ONE good argument that I actually heard against the whole man on mars thing was a complaint that we needed to take care of the earth first, before trying to live on other worlds. GREAT! Fantastic idea! We can do that easily; the infrastructure is already there, and wouldn't be THAT expensive to start using. So why aren't we? Because we don't care. And that is an attitude that really sucks. Sucks sucks sucks.

Yes, I have a writing itch. Is that BAD?!?! EH?!! Didn't THINK so!

They're TEAL, allright?!??

HA HA HA! Those legwarmers were TEAL, DOLTISH SORORITY FEMALES! HA! Where's their sense of adventure? Don't they like "eighties fashion"? Have they no liking for COLORS? Or do they even place a value on functionality---IE: staying warm? Eeesh. And if you are going to critisize, why do you have to stoop to using rag bag? I know I'm unique, what are they, jealous? Don't you have a more polite way of expressing dislike? or NOT AT ALL? Hell, MY mother always taught me that IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY, DON'T SAY IT!! A sad state of affairs @AEPhi...Oh, and another beef I have. If I paid so much fuckin' money, shouldn't I get a CHAIN with my lavalier? ARRRRRG. So Annoyed. A little gold pendant DOESN't cost that much...thirty-five bucks should insure I get a CHAIN too....

Yes, I do realize this little rant of mine has nothing nice to say, but let's just assume for the moment that it is a totally reactive response to a bit of a rather pathetic attempt to insult my taste. Shame on them!

Humpf. Whatever.

Got fingerprinted today. Whoo! What fun! They have this cool machine that you stick your fingers on a glass plate and a little light /pressure sensor reads all the curliques on your fingertips. Sweeeeet. I want a copy of my fingerprints! I also took a nap and got some reading done between classes today: I finished chapter one in Jeff's psych book. Gotta finish the rest after this, and then bedtime. I think...

Got a new backpack today as well. FUCK, am SO poor now, I need to wait until my next paycheck to pay off sailing and 80 buck cell phone bill. I also FORGOT to get olored ink for my pr8inter. AUGH. Damnit! So much for organization. BOOOO.

Need tea. Food. Sleep. Preferably in that order.

Oooh, tried new hairstyle today: braided back bangs, tied in ponytail, looped ribbon around it. I liked it. Looked very nice. I am sick of wearing pony tails, and I dunno if they look so good on me anyhow. And, I don't really like wearing my hair down....so....

Phone is a piece of shit. Well, okay, the battery is dying so fast, it's crazy. I have to charge it almost every night! Ridiculous.

Ha ha, quote of the day: "Cesium-- for curved chem exams..."
=D I luv sitting next to jeff and Michaella and (augh! brain not functioning! shit! what's her name?? Will write it later..)!

Snails, String and silliness!

Krystle and the snails...

School, Sailing, Psych, Food and Frolicking!

Okay, so I don't know what this poem/lyrics are from, but I like them:
Don't tell me that it's morning
Can we keep the curtains drawn
I haven't given you fair warning
But our ship, she sails at dawn...

And it's true I must be going
But I swear I won't be long
There isn't that much ocean between Boston and St John's

I'm a rover, and I'm bound to sail away
I'm a rover, can you love me anyway?

And if some suitor comes approaching
Will you let him through your door
And what if I return half-broken
Will you still want me anymore?

Close your eyes and dream and tell me what you see
You can tell me what you want, just tell me that you'll wait for me

But, oh, don't tell me that it's morning
Can we keep the curtains drawn
I haven't given you fair warning
But our ship, she sails at dawn...

K.I.M.: "A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for." Grace Hopper

They sort of remind me of how this new quarter is just like a ship: sails at dawn (well, okay, 7am) can make or break you, and sooner than you know it, you're off and running like crazy!

Yeah. oh, and here's some more old mad-ness:
"Fear my grape-ness!" (that's what I get for bagging grapes at work)

"A hundred thousand lemmings can't be wrong." Author unknown
"I hear it's lemming season in Antarctica. Why aren't you jumping off a cliff somewhere?" Pinky & Braine (my sister's and my corollary on the quote above)

"what'd u do, jules? kill something and shove it up your ass?" -me
"you have a stench that decries description." -me on jule's farts
"well, the air smells better around the candle. I think it's burning all the methane." -me
Ahh, cruelty in it's finest form in the long household. We seem to have a lot of fart jokes around my house...I wonder why?? ...^^... We're all full of "hot air" as my dad says, ha ha.

On that note, have gone to my psych 10 class. Seems like it'll be ok: a lot of studying and stuff, but hey, I don't care. I signed up for some of the experiments that we are required to do too. Ha! Think of that! Me, as a lab rat! number 36 and 56! WEEE! Should be entertaining, since some of the experiments sound pretty fun. Oh, and there's a BUNCH of people in my same class; kosha the RA, skank, michaella, and her friend kimberly... I'll always have someone to sit with! I gotta go get my books this weekend too--amazon.com here I come!

Hmmm. Really hungry. Tom BETTER HAVE MY BRUINCARD or he's a DEADMAN!!! *stomach snarls and wraps around backbone in empathetic emphasis!*

Hmm. Ate lunch and breakfast at the sorority house again today. It was kinda nice. I'm getting used to it. Had trouble getting out of bed at seven today though: I slept from 2-8pm yesterday, then stayed up until 305am. ICK. I managed to haul my ass up at seven-thirtyish...aaaand, remembered to have my vitamin and tea...and pudding for breakfast. (yeccch). I need normal food! At least at the sorority house I had yogurt and toast and an omlette and a chocolate chip pancake... Okay, so I ate a lot.

I started a letter to mouse, but haven't finished it. I'll do it tonight. AFTER the meeting...before watching tv with Jolee. Hmmm. Maybe I'd better go check out and order my textbooks before I do anything else. I neeeeed them!

PS: Angela says I'm cheap because I won't BUY myself food in westwood. HA! I've got food in the room! *glares around defensively* WHATS WRONG WITH BEING CHEAP, EH?! EH?!?!
