The Best Moment of the Year

Jake, running through the cafeteria, giving a high-pitched scream and flailing, with no shirt and various designs carved all over his skin. The entire cafeteria staring at him. Our table erupting into cheers and yells and applause. The entire cafeteria staring at us. The girl at the next table over turning as pink as her shirt and nearly start crying from laughing so hard.

The best moment EVER. Ann got it on camera. If she can post it somewhere....OH MAN.

Aaron convinced him to do it. The best. EVAH.

This deserves a post all to itself.

mmm, candy

This is why I dislike Valentine’s Day.

1) Greeting Card Company Holiday: yes, given that the idea is based around St. Valentine who was put into jail and wrote letters from said jail, the premise of this “holiday” is fairly cool, but corporations like Hallmark have made it lost meaning.

2) What Hallmark Has Made It Mean: is that today is a day to do something special for your “significant other”. I think the better philosophy is that if you’re lucky enough to be in a relationship, you should treat everyday like Valentine’s day. You don’t need conglomerates dictating when do nice things for the person who you supposedly love/like.

3) My Own Personalness: I am the most UNROMANTIC person EVER. #2 on this list doesn’t even apply to me. If I ever had a boyfriend (IF being the operative…this is very unlikely) I would not expect anything special today. I’d probably forget that it was even Valentine’s Day. I forgot today until I got to math class and Amy gave me candy. I fail at being a girl. I do not like romantic stuff. If (so very hypothetical) I ever had a boyfriend and he gave me…roses or something, or chocolate, the only thing I would think of is this quote from bash.org:

IronChef Foicite: well, there's a lot of reasons
IronChef Foicite: i mean, roses only last like a couple weeks
IronChef Foicite: and that's if you leave them in water
IronChef Foicite: and they really only exist to be pretty
IronChef Foicite: so that's like saying
IronChef Foicite: "my love for you is transitory and based solely on your appearance"
IronChef Foicite: but a potato!
IronChef Foicite: potatos last for fucking ever, man
IronChef Foicite: in fact, not only will they not rot, they actually grow shit even if you just leave them in the sack
IronChef Foicite: that part alone makes it a good symbol
IronChef Foicite: but there's more!
IronChef Foicite: there are so many ways to enjoy a potato! you can even make a battery with it!
IronChef Foicite: and that's like saying "i have many ways in which I show my love for you"
IronChef Foicite: and potatos may be ugly, but they're still awesome
IronChef Foicite: so that's like saying "it doesn't matter at all what you look like, I'll still love you"


So I’d probably actually LIKE a potato. Ugly and awesome.

So given all that, I dislike Valentine’s Day. It has nothing to do with being bitter and angsty or whatnot like most people get when this day rolls around and they have no boyfriend/girlfriend. To me it’s the same as any other day that I don’t have a boyfriend. And I’m not looking for one. Maybe I like someone, but the chances of them liking me back is infinitesimal, and I really can’t see myself filling the role of a girlfriend. Most because, as aforementioned, I fail at being a girl.


All right. So to sum up my logical rant-esque, I will link a painfully adorable kitten to sing to all ya’ll. Because it’s cheap, and someone else made it, and I was planning on getting candy (the BEST PART of this holiday) for everyone but forgot. Because I forgot Valentine’s Day was coming. Haha.

This kitten luuuurffs you. (Don’t forget to turn the sound up)


Happy Hallmark Holiday, Everyone.

Nyahaha. Four-ish more hours of Babylon 5 today with James, Jake, Josiah, and Phaedra. The latter two and I were all trying to do homework...I think we succeeded on a vague level. Josiah kept using his lighter to read his law book.

So it was cool. Everyone else had amazing timing when it was time to go to dinner--we ran into Janine and Kelly coming down the stairs as we came up from the basement. Phaedra and Jake both went to get/drop off things and while we waited for them Jared came up. When we were leaving Henley, Anna happened to be walking by. Everyone had awesome timing.

Dinner amusing as always, with the aforementioned group plus Josh, Allison, and TK. Lots of nerd talk about movies, and that was great. Yay movies!

Right now someone on iTunes network has the entire soundtrack to Children of Dune and I be listening. It be awsome.

I am doing science homework too. Yess.

[EDIT: Oh, and, myTunes r0x0rz. Awesome and a half, in a bucket, on a stick.]

[EDIT the second: Jared.....it's Rex Dart, Eskimo Spy!]

Wow, last night was awesome. Not as awesome at the BEST WEEKEND EVAH (which was last week) but it was close.

I woke up late and was pretty much in my dorm all day until 6:00, when it was dinner time. The what’s starting to be the fairly usual crew, or part of it—Jake, Josiah, TK, Josh, Anna, Allison (I think that’s her name…that or Emily) and then Ann, Janine, Jared, me. TK and Allison constantly attack each other, always, and the only seat open when I came was the one next to them. I spent a lot of time being nervous for my own life. TK tried to make me sit on Allison’s head.

Conversation was the usual weirdness, talking about pranks and such, Jared and Anna were devising a department store called Bond next to me (“where’s the children’s section?) and TK was mangling everything on the table he could reach. He hit one of those paper-cardboard triangle things with a fork, then with the napkin basket, and then with a hamburger. Yeah, he hit it with a hamburger. Which consequently made half of it fly across the table into Janine.

Jake at one point that we were being utterly crazy suddenly points to Janine and goes, “why do you hang out with us?” Janine was sort of at a loss as to why and somehow that devolved into “Your Life Story in Five Words!” So we all went around the table and told our life story in five words. Many people picked a very strange last word—i.e. TK picked “Banana Phone.” Jared picked five absolutely random words the first time (bagel, circular, broom, etc.) but Jake made him do it again (“contraceptive failure”). Josiah and Jake picked ODD things, as usual, and I can’t remember exactly what Jake said last but Josh said something about “when the first word is fucking and the last word is ____ between two brothers” and I WISH I could remember it because it was wrong on many, many levels. But funny.

TK was mangling a banana at this point and when Josh confronted him about it he yelled “shut up! I have a pepper flower!” as he’d taken half the banana, filled it with pepper, and stuck it back into the pepper shaker. The whole dinner was just all around crazy and amusing and strange, but that’s cool. At the end both Allison and Ann tickled me mercilessly and Jared took my shoe off and got my foot and it was so not cool, I was attacked from all sides! >_O

Then we left. People were still trying to tickle me and other people were tickling other people and it turned into a massive Tickle Tournament. It took up about fifteen minutes to walk down a maybe hundred yard stretch of concrete because of the tickling. Josiah is so incredibly ticklish on his back, if you tickle him there he’ll nearly fall down and then try and start walking away so he looks like he’s doing a mutated crab walk if you keep tickling him. It’s really funny. Jake will tickle you and hold onto you so you can’t get away, Ann and I kept falling to the ground when Jake came after us. Allison was not ticklish at all so TK just kept attacking her, and Josh said he wasn’t ticklish but he was anyway. Kelly was trailing along behind watching us, probably scared. :D

Josiah climbed over the fence, onto a big metal box, and jumped over into the tennis courts. Then he got stuck and couldn’t get out. Jake climbed onto the tennis court fence to go get him but Josiah escaped by rolling under the fence at the end, although he didn’t really roll…it took him a while to get himself under the fence.

We finally got across the street but then stayed on a little patch of grass for many minutes, tickling and attacking and tumbling and such. Then somebody (either Jake or Josiah) had the idea of jumping into and/or over the bushes which led to a small hill and then to more bushes and then to a fence, with the underground parking lot beyond that. Jake wanted money to jump it but Josiah did it anyway, then jumped over the fence and climbed up the stairs and came back. Then a lot of the guys were trying to throw Allison over the bushes by grabbing her ankles and wrists, but she was twisty and kept getting out of their grips, finally rolling down to the bottom of the grass. It took about four guys (TK, Jared, Josiah, Jake) to get her back to bushes and throw her in. She only landed on top, not all the way down.

The throwing-into-the-bushes thing continued, but only with the girls. They tried me next but I learned from Allison and twisted out of the hold on me, although later Jake tackled me into the bushes and nearly got me over except I hooked my foot into the bushes and ended up hanging upside-down down the hill. Josiah grabbed my hand (either to get me back up for pull me down, not sure) but ended up going over the bushes himself. I nearly pulled Jake with me when he tried to tackle me. Later on they did Ann, and Ann DID pull Jake down with her and they went about halfway down the hill. Oh man, it was crazy.

We finally moved on, walking down the sidewalk to Henley and TK jumped into the other set of bushes along the walk and totally disappeared. It was the funniest thing, and Josiah went in after him because TK wasn’t saying anything but he’d gone down the little embankment and come out by the wall of Pralle without any of us knowing. Josiah came out that way too and we finally got to Henley, and everyone decided to slide down the really long banister to the really really steep Henley basement stairs. All the guys and me did it. Ann, Kelly and Allison walked down.

Then we hung around in that courtyard for a while. Josiah was trying to break the metal bench that was really warped in the middle, and Jake got on his back and he jumped on it. It didn’t break but they looked really funny. Then they were “climbing” the palm tree (I say “climbing” because it was more like bracing) and Ann took pictures. These are MUST SEE. They are HERE.

And stuff. I’m leaving it there, and will continue the second arc of the night after I go do some homework. The second arc is just as awesome, although much less active.

Chocolate!

Awesomeness it was. Now I be writing about it, after waking up at 12:34. Heh.

So yesterday it was class as normal, Japanese class we made Valentines! Which makes no sense as Valentine’s day is on MONDAY, which we also have class on. But no matter. Cook-sensei wrote things on the board to put on our valentines like “watashi no haato wa doki doki shimasu” (or something like that) and Japanized a lot of English words and such. The best one was when she wrote “do you want to do driving tonight?” and everyone was like “whaaaaaat? What does that mean?!” and Cook-sensei was like “it means to do driving!” and I think everyone was thinking it was some sort of weird metaphor or something until she clarified it was like “do you want to go for a drive?” which…does not seem very Valentine-y. But I copied down the kanji for death (haha, that’s Valentine-y) and love (Gaara!) so w00t. Also BUCHUU!

I boycott Valentine’s Day and only like the candy. That is my position, yes indeed.

Oh yeah, and I slept through math class. O_O gah. Whoops. First class missed. Last semester I missed two classes, English once on purpose and Japanese once for sleeping in. I will not miss more this semester! So I’ve already used up my “sleeping in” excuse.

La la la. After class, lunch, and then back to my dorm in which I did stuff and then went to meet with Sherri at 4:00. I think at this point it’s just going to be easier to stay in my dorm. The four spots that were open in Henley have been shaved down to one, and a lot of people are already trying to move in with that girl and I don’t have a room problem at the moment so I really shouldn’t take that spot from someone. If I was still having roommate problems I would totally move but Denise is awesome so…I’ll just apply for substance free next semester and write the essay and just stay in my ghetto motel for the rest of this year. Eh.

Then, dinner, and stuff, and went back to Ann’s room and played Soul Caliber. I TOTALLY LOVE KILIK. He is my new favorite character, seconded by Seung Mina (she’s the other pole girl, right?) Yes I love the pole people now! I was playing the computer for a really long time because Phaedra was watching Naruto, Ann was doing iTunes and Amy was doing stuff on her computer (three computers and three conflicting noises going on…haha) and the computer is so easy to beat. I won Ann a bunch of Gold, though. And got better with Kilik. I tried Heihachi but he sucks and is nofun.

Then I started watching the Naruto episodes Phaedra was watching and we played Soul Caliber at the same time…not looking at the screen. It was button mash time! Randomly pick a character, randomly pick a stage, randomly slam buttons! I beat her for the first couple times but then she started beating me and it was just amusing because we weren’t looking at the screen. She and Amy and I crammed together on Ann’s bed and watched all the way up to episode 99, one more episode farther than we were before! W00t! So we only have 21 episodes to catch up on as of now. YAY.

Phaedra and I made ramen and then Jake showed up to fetch us for Murder. This was about midnight I think. So Phaedra and I followed Jake down to the basement where there were a TON of people, all from D&D and such. Jared and some other people came back from Wendy’s with a ton of food, and other people explained the game Murder to those who didn’t know, and Phaedra and Josiah and I went out in the rain.

We had PUDDLE FIGHTS! It was awesome. Jumping in puddles, splashing each other, kicking water, and just generally getting soaked. We saved a worm and then accidentally put a snail in the middle of our battleground, but that snail was a survivor! We nearly tromped it about thirty times but it stayed alive! When we got back inside we were completely drenched. Oh yeah, and apparently earlier Josiah had been in Beckman and slipped, hit his head and was lying unconscious for an hour. And nobody FOUND him? He said he was all right, but…. And this is after he didn’t sleep for like three days. CRAZY.

So then we played MURDER W0000T! It was awesome. We incorporated the basement of Henley, and the first floor as well as the corridors, which no one really used except Jake. HAHA I know all his hiding places now. We ended up working together a lot during the games, trying to lure the murders out.

The first murderers were Jared and…Phaedra? I think. She was a murderer at some point. Maybe the last game. That game went pretty fast and it was awesome. Jared killed me in sort of an out of the way area and nobody found me for like six minutes. People kept coming halfway down the hall and then turning around and leaving. I was a civilian ALWAYS except for the time I was a cop. That was the last time.

The next two murderers were Beth and a girl that I don’t know the name of, and they were SO GOOD. We had like no idea who any of the murderers were and no one accused anyone because we were so unsure. They killed Jared and Tore in the elevator, which was amusing. Apparently in the last game one of the murderers killed Mark in the elevator and then sent him up to the forth floor. Probably good that it was three in the morning and no one would be coming along and finding someone lying “dead” in the elevator.

I only got killed once. That was awesome. During the end of the second game I got accused but I was a citizen, and Jake was a cop and the one who accused me and so he knew he could trust me so we set up a sting! Rahaha. And it would have worked much better if Skimpy didn’t always act so suspicious, even when he’s NOT the murder. I lured people into a room where Jake was hiding, and ended up with both Beth and Skimpy in there, but we were all standing really far apart so we couldn’t be killed in a group. Then Beth left, then Skimpy left, I stayed upstairs and then went downstairs and found that Josiah and Mark had both been killed. I went and got Jake out of his hiding place and he accused Beth, who WAS the last murderer! All this happened when there were like…six people alive out of maybe 15 or so.

The time I died in the first game, Phaedra, Josiah, the girl I don’t know the name of and me did a trick. It was awesome. Skimpy orchestrated it, and it was cool. You put four chairs in this certain position, and four people sit on them in sort of a square, really close to the edges. Then you lie back on the person behind you, and the person in front of you lies back on you so that everyone’s in a sort of strange MC Esher square. Then you push your shoulders down really hard on the person’s legs and keep your knees at 90 degrees and then other people can take the chairs out from under you and you stay up! It was awesome. Then someone not in the square has to put their hand over you and everybody grabs it and pulls themselves up.

We were the performing dead! Skimpy and Josiah were doing a two man roll, which Mandy called “the gayest thing she’d ever seen” which Skimpy then replied that a three man roll was even more gay. We were doing cartwheels and tumbling and stuff and we did the four-person-square for the so called “Dead Council” when the next person was killed. We were performing! There was the ‘Dead Council’, the ‘Alive Club’, and the ‘Dead Pen’. Ahaha. Yay.

The last game sucked vaguely except that Jake and I were having a hiding contest. Since I knew of his place in the out-of-the-way room and I also ran into him during the second game in a hiding place that I’d been using, I told him I’d been hiding and he was like “I’ll just check all those places then” and I said that I had different places (I did) so he was like, “a challenge, eh?” so we were doing a sort of hide-and-seek thing. And then we tried to set up a second sting, because I was a cop this time and Jake was a civilian (although we didn’t know what the other was). Josiah was a murderer and apparently tried to kill someone and missed…and then got caught.

So it was like 3:30 when we all stopped playing. Next week I hope it doesn’t rain because I want to play capture the flag again! Of course today it’s perfectly sunny and warm. >_<

Anyway, homework time. :D

yay

Murder tonight. Mad awesome. No capture the flag because of the rain, but three rounds of Murder instead. Plus the puddle fight Phaedra and Josiah and I had in the beginning. w00t.

So it was cool. More write up tomorrow. Denise is asleeping and I don't want to awake her. :)

I also decieded something tonight, during the course of the games, that had nothing to actually DO with the games but will currently affect my life from now on concerning a specific thing. It won't affect anyone else, just me, and I am writing this note to remind myself. Practicality is always a good thing.


G'nite ya'll.

Oh man. Denise just did her film shoot (not with Jake OR Chris...but random guys hanging out int he Morlan lounge who just happened to be theater majors) and she showed it to me (one take-WOW) and it's really funny. :D Vaccum.

Anyway, I totally put my phone into caller groups for the first time EVAH and each has a different ring...now I want people to call me. XD

Meeting with housing dept. NOW! *HOIGHT!*
london - st stephens
No, I really never have enough time to write everything that happens nowadays. Such as I STILL haven't written up LAST Saturday OR Sunday...wow.

Last night. Dinner. Crazy. Pulled two big tables together and had EVERYONE there. Jake, Vinnie, Ben, Tore, Jared, me, Phaedra, Aaron, Denise, Chris, Janine, Ann, Amy, T.K., Allison, Josh, etc. etc. I bet there were more people but there were TOO MANY. We played the drink game which happened on...oh man. Last Sunday? SEE, I haven't written about that. ARG.

Basically there's a drink, and it's made with good stuff like cranberry juice, sprite, cream and whipped cream. They get made for each person but one gets relish put into it. You lose the game if you get the relish. But the drink tastes really good if you don't lose. So we played that again last night. Except this time Jake kind of failed because he didn’t put opaque cups around the plastic ones, so you could totally see into them and the one that had relish in it got left on the tray so everyone won! W00t! And then Vinnie spilled his on Ben and it was “the loser of the game is the one who got a drink spilled on him by Vinnie!”

There was a mishearing. “You need to build a box for your ugly friends.” HAHA. I have no idea what was actually said. But dinner was long and crazy and awesome and we are The Cool Table and we should have a chant or cheer or something and that way everyone in the cafeteria would look at our massive uber table and go “I wish I could sit at that table”. And then we get Aaron to kick them out. :D

Oh yes. Film lab before dinner with Jake and Ben, and I lent Jake Snow Crash and the movie was The Bicycle Thief. The best line ever: the horrible depressing end of the movie comes and the words FINE (for end) come up on the screen. Ben goes, “that was certainly not fine!” Ahaha. I guess you’d just have to see the film. Then Jake wondered why in hell I said it was a good movie and I said that in the context of the other movies we were watching at the time (i.e. Battleship Potemkin) it was a great movie, and then he totally understood. See, I am totally a film student. Rawr.

So dinner! With the drink game that totally messed up and other fun. Ann took many pictures. And when Phaedra went to help Jake and Josh with the drink game, T.K. ate the rest of her melon, then speared one on a fork and put it in her water glass. I didn’t notice that until later but otherwise I would have stopped him. And I never need to hear T.K. say “Phaedra’s melons are delicious” again. O_o And Mark kept making jokes about Ben looking like Rosie O’Donnell from behind which Ben was getting humourously offended at.

And then afterwards Chris, Jake and I trekked all around campus to find a TV on for which to be watching LOST. We went to Argyros, and Irvine and finally wound up in Davis where we ran into Josh again. LOST w00t! New episode. I love the fact that the Character Death that happened was some guy that the MAIN CHARACTERS didn’t know the name of, that’s how bit-part he was. Apparently there are small parts, and small actors.

Then I went back to my dorm until 10 when I went back to Henley where Aaron was whaling away on Jake’s back (slapping equals healing!) and everyone else was doing the 13 posture form. Yee-hah. So we have finally got all the way through it (for the seventh or eighth time) and that was cool. Aaron only managed to heal Jake and Josiah tonight, so I guess I’m for Monday. Phaedra showed up at the end after this guy named Barney did some sort of vague stuff with us, and she and Josiah went upstairs to watch LOST and I went with them to make sure that Phaedra stayed awake, and I had to fix Josiah’s horribly girly arm.

In class he had drawn all over one of his arms and someone else had too, and then Nicole drew on his other arm but it was all flowers and hearts and crap and I was just like…”no, I have to fix that.” So I drew a cool spikey design like the one I did in my science book except not as neat because I drew in the wrong direction and ran into one of Nicole’s fluffy hearts. Then I did a better one on Phaedra. It is cool, yo.

So that was cool and then I went back to my dorm and Denise was watching Aqua Teen Hunger Force which is ON crack but so, so funny. We were watching it going, “….what? …..what?!” but it was great. She ran her film idea past me (Jake and Chris are the actors now) and we accidentally were up until 2….wah.

Film class this morning, and Jake missed it. Ate lunch with a bunch of people (some of them I didn’t know—two of them were named Erin and Jeff) until other people such as Phaedra, Josiah, and Aaron came back. As always we ended up with a huge group and had to commandeer another table. Jake showed up telling us about a weird dream he had that kept lying to him about what time it was and that was why he missed class. The first thing he said to me was “I am dropping out of college to be a pizza deliverer!” and I got it (ahahah Snow Crash!) but no one else did so we explained. I gave him the Manau CD I said I’d burn him (suddenly all my stuff is going to Jake…?) and then we spent a ton of lunch looking through Aaron’s pictures on his awesome alien computer, all crammed uncomfortably together and peering over shoulders. Jake wants me to draw a design on him after Valentine’s day like the ones I did for Josiah and Phaedra, but it really depends on where he wants me to put it.

Back to my dorm. Watched two episodes of Mai-Hime (interesting…Mikoto is wicked awesome) and then to history. Long, and boring, I doodled, and stuff. My doodles now are much better than high school doodles which were crap.

So now. InsideTrack meeting at 5, dinner at who-knows-when, pre anime club (?perhaps?) at 6 (or maybe 7), real anime club at 8, I am so busy everyday all the time why why why?!!

But it’s cool.

This is what I need. A little notebook, which I carry around in my pocket AT ALL TIMES and write down amusing stuff that is said. My brain works pretty well on it's own for that but once it gets above about ten things, I start forgetting. That is my plan. Indeed.

Anyway. Only one good quote from lunch today.

[Jared, Aaron, Eric talking about towers]
Jared: I bet his [Aaron's] tower is made from aluminum.
Aaron: I don't have a tower. I have a laptop, wuss! I bet my laptop can walk all over your shit. It will make fertilizer out of your crap.

Aaron says the most random things. Phaedra and I kept finding cool 'photo-arty' moments with him, since he was wearing a black shirt and almost everything he was eating was white. White mug, white rice, and it looked cool.

Math class, la la la. Japanese class, la la la.

THE GREATEST. Since we have groups, Cook-sensei told us to make names for our groups. One group became Ichiban ("You are group six but calling yourself Ichiban?") and Amy and Jared's group is now DATTEBAYO, which was so great because Cook-sensei was like "....what?" and Amy had to spell it out for her and at the end of class she was all, "you know what that means? It means something like "that's why, okay!?"" AHAH. Naruto. Buuuweeeh!

My group is FOUR. We have no name. YON! YON YON YON!

I have a film lab today. The Bicycle Thief. I have seen it. I wish I could skip it. I can't forget to bring a CD for Maihime and Snow Crash for Jake. Since I won't be going back to my dorm between science and dinner. Oh, science. How I will draw things all class long.

Hahah, dinner was awesome. Aaron is exploiting Facebook like nobody's business. He had this whole plan on making a club called, "The Fellow Who Wears a Shirt" and having a picture of, say, Vinnie. But since in the picture they put on Jake's facebook club, he IS wearing a shirt, the idea would be that Vinnie wouldn't have a shirt. Then Jared had the idea that it should be a picture of someone wearing a shirt, but an oversized one so it looked like they weren't wearing pants. Yeah, we're awesome.

Kelly, Phaedra, Janine, Jared, Ann, Amy, Vinnie, Tore, Aaron, Bethany, Denise, and me all at the table at some point. Much talking of facebook (it still so amuses us) and old Toonami and Fox shows like Space Ghost, Freakazoid, Sealab 2021, etc. Jared and Aaron sang Brak's "Don't Touch Me" song for like six minutes, in sync, and that was cool. Jared was trying to tell a story about a French exchange student named Matteo, but I kept cracking up at things that weren't the punchline and ruined it. Amy speared a spinich leaf to death, Ann took many pictures, and several more in jokes were made. "With official camera action!" "You broke her!"

Last people in the cafeteria, as always, and then some of us (Amy, Ann, Phaedra, Jared, Kelly, me) trekked to Ann's room and hung out. Ann was trying to fix her iTunes and Jared and I looked through his music and then played some Dr. Demento CDs. I love comedy songs. Phaedra got to hear Bulbous Bouffant which I wanted her to hear since...last semester. Some of those songs are on such the crack, like "Something's Wrong With This Song" and "Star Trekkin'" Yes.

There was some initial confusion with the martial (martian) arts club but eventually at 10:30 it was conveened. We've basically been doing the same stuff for months....because we keep getting new members and keep having to teach them, and so it was more of that stuff tonight. We are such the non-formal club, it's great. Josiah and I have sitting-on-the-floor-skillz. Jake and Josiah showed off their "jumping over the pool table" skills, which was awesome. The new guy Chris totally took Aaron down...in slow motion. But it was cool. Somebody passing yelled "Hey Jake, where's your shirt!?" and Jake didn't know the guy. Fanclub! Something we talked about at dinner, Jake can now officially say "my fanclub is bigger than your fanclub."

Also at dinner we were talking about really bad movies because Jared mentioned watching a bad Vincent Price movie and MSTing with his roommates, and then Vinnie and I ended up talking about MST for a while. Jared was talking to Anna for a long time and not looking at the table, and Phaedra switched their trays and then we distributed his food all over the table. Aaron wants a "denied" animated GIF for the facebook, first a pic of him laughing, then the next all serious with his thumb over his shoulder like, "OUT!" It's funny the way he does it--laughing to serious in .0001 seconds!

In the basement of the library, waiting for class to start. *waves at Amy in the next seat over*

Film class earlier, then lunch with...tons of people. Jake, Josiah, Chris, Anna, Noel, James, Phaedra, Janine, Aaron, T.K., Vinnie....we had to get a big table and drag ANOTHER table over to it.

Oh, much fun. Phaedra had the history book and Jake make Josiah read the buffalo bit aloud again, so now it's this HUGE inside joke. Aaron plans to make a facebook club JUST with our inside jokes, to see who joins.

Aaron: And I want to see people join and see these jokes and go "haha, I don't get it." "You're not IN! Goodbye! KICK." ...and now that becomes an inside joke.

KICK. FLAAARE! Facebook takes over our lives. A girl from a sorority came around and gave us plastic hearts filled with candy, and much of lunch was joking about that.

Aaron: We're sour because we're filled with love!

Vinnie: Does anyone realize that this is for Heart Awareness Week and they gave us CANDY?

Josiah and Jake filled the boxes with fries (after throwing the candy around, breaking it, hitting it, and trying to split them with forks--T.K. is the new master) and gave them BACK to the people, walked right by the table, put them down, said "for Heart Awareness Week!" and walked out.

The girl next to us just realized that class is canceled today. There was a big green notice on the door that we all missed. AHAHA we have brains. Well. I'll finish this in my dorm room. :D

The best fairy tale EVAH.

Okay, dinner had some hilarious quotes.

Janine: I knew this guy from Taiwan who had a blackbelt in karate….but he was a white Mormon.
Me: The Mormons are from Mars.
Janine: Yeah, he did a missionary over there.
Me: …..on Mars?
[general cracking up]
Janine: No! In Taiwan!
Me: Yeah, you totally set yourself up for that one.

Later:

Betthany: There’s the Mormon guy who did the martial arts!
Me: More like the Martian Arts.
Betthany: [takes a moment] Aha!! That was great.

Jared: [on the phone with someone] I can recommend a very good lighthouse.
Everyone: WTF?
Me: Jared’s a lighthouse connoisseur.
[everyone cracks up]
Me: What? It wasn’t even that funny!
Phaedra: Yes it was! You used ‘connoisseur’ and ‘lighthouse’ in the same sentence!
Betthany: Oh yeah. In lighthouses, I recommend number 83. It’s just the best, in my opinion.


[Jared and I had a conversation about the movie LA Story]
Ann: O_o...all I heard was 'breasts all day'.


And the best....

Jake’s “pocket”.

He stopped over at our table and I really think the girls behind us knew who he was from facebook, because they started looking at each other and then staring at Jake. Before he sat down, Jake was all, "oh, wait a sec" and starts tugging at the back of his jeans. We were all like, "eh?" and suddenly he pulls a NOTEBOOK out of his pants. We were REALLY like "WTFFFF?" at that point and Jake was like, "what?! I don't have pockets!" When he left to go to class, he put the notebook back in his jeans. Hahahah, oh the amusement.

But yeah. Martial (martian?) arts club in...like....seven minutes. W00tay. I have to put my old shoes back on. :D

"They put the carriages in my way!"

Yay, shopping-u! Phaedra and I went shopping for STUFF. She needed shoes for hip-hop and I needed a bedside table, so we went to Payless and Target.

In Payless we tried on ridiculous shoes (now I can say I've worn a pair of those asinine sneakers with heels) as well as normal ones. I didn't mean to get shoes but I got an awesome pair anyway. Phaedra got two. Hip hop it UP!

Then Target. I got a good bedside table, and a big white board so I can write stuff for me not to forget on. Like homework. And a binder, because I need one, and A Knight's Tale on DVD, because it was cheap. Yeah, I really COULD buy movies all day.

I have stuff now! And places to put my multitude of CRAP! Huzzah! I shall go do that now before dinner. *dances in new shoes*

Oh. Today in science I stayed away by not paying attention and instead doodling in the margins. I had this image in my head of Poemi (or Kobayashi) stabbing her knees with pencils and shrieking "NOTSLEEPINGNOTSlEEPINGNOTSLEEPING!!!" I wrote things in Japanese (such as "I don't like Professor Block" and "dream" and "Puni Puni Poemi") and drew a scribble of me sleeping and a rather all right drawing of a girl's head. Haha.

Successful day in all.

Oh man. Apparently we just need to cram even more fun into the last minutes of the weekend.

After I missed the hall meeting, Josiah and Phaedra came by my room. We hung around in front of my door for like ten minutes and Josiah did his best to kick the curb into pieces. They left after a while and then I saw Ann had left me an IM about having Chinese food....so I ran after them and caught Phaedra and told her about said Chinese food, and we ducked into Braden where Josiah had just gone and caught him as well, and we all went to Ann's room.

So Ann, Phaedra, Josiah, and eventually Amy and I all hung out in Ann's room, eating leftover Chinese food and doing weird gymnastics on the floor (haha, yeah). And then we decided that all of us Josiah, Phaedra and I needed facebook pictures, so we searched for some on Ann's comp and then watched some really cute videos Ann took of Amy explaining random things.

Then we started to play Soul Caliber II....that game is HORRIBLY addicting. I was sucking tonight, and I couldn't beat anyone until Josiah and I had the most awkward, spaztastic fight EVER. Like...we were both just practicing moves and how the controllers worked and we were both the character Maxi, who fights with nun-chucks and is bizzarely hyper and has this silly war-cry that sounds like "whooo-HAH!!" and as we practiced we got closer and closer to each other until he hit me, and then I hit him back, and then we sort of did a shoving thing...like we just kept running into each other and beating on each other and it was SPASTIC and everyone was cracking up...and then I beat him. Haha. Then Josiah and Jared (who had shown up at one point...he was actually sitting on the SAME CHAIR as I was and I totally thought he was Ann until I turned and saw Oh! It's Jared) had a knock-down drag-out fight which Josiah lost...kind of badly.

Josiah and I both beat Amy (me by like...a fluke) and Phaedra beat me and we played until Janine came to tell us to shut up cause she was going to sleep and then we played a bit more after that until 12:30 when we were like AHH school night and all left.

I have a pic on facebook, biyatches!! (Specifically Laura who was yelling at me earlier :D ) so check eeet ouuut! Kah-li-fohr-nee-ah!

I just realized I'm 20 minutes late for the hall meeting. Fah, I'm just gonna skip it. It doesn't matter and anyway, I have homework. It's not like these meetings MEAN anything.

I was doing science homework. The sad thing is, when I took the notes I was so half-asleep I don't even remember taking them. I have three pages of stuff I can't remember writing. Gah this class is gonna bore me to death.

"Next...POLAND!!"

You aren't half as cool as Capture the Flag at one in the morning.

AH this weekend has been THE BEST. I haven't even had time to write it up, that's how hardcore it was. I've got Friday down at this point.

Fabtastic Friday! )

I’m not even HALF done with this weekend. But I better do my homework before Phaedra and Josiah and I go to ice scream social at 9:00. It’s actually a meeting for my hall in Morlan but they want to come. Haha, I am amused. :P
london - st stephens
OMGWTFLOlBBQWTFWTFLOL.

These are the facts.

Chapman is the best college EVAH and the people R0X0R more than J00.

We totally played Capture the Flag at 1 in the morning yesterday.

We then totally played Murder at 3:00 in the morning, yesterday.

Phaedra and I totally got back to our dorms at 5...in the MORNING.

We then totally went to lunch at 11:30, and then spent the next 8 or so hours with Jake and Josiah.

Josiah can do every accent you can think of, and WELL.

Jake's Facebook club totally has 125 members. And at one point today, we walked by and someone said, "that's the guy from facebook!"

And then we just totally watched Puni Puni Poemy with Ann, Amy, Jared, and Lisa.

Phaedra and I just had the best weekend EVAH.


I have a write up but I am DEAD TIRED and incredibly sore and I'll finish it later.

Indians. Buffalo. NEVER. AGAIN. Miniconjou. MINICONJEW. Which is the Indian word for...well, we won't say.

.................*dead* X_x

Strange people from Monty have found me on facebook. Whyy...?

People at Chapman come up with WEIRD games. We playd some at dinner. Okay, eating a slice of cake in one bite is not a game, persay....but it was nuts. Jake got the relish. Haha. It's the curse.

The Fellow Who Never Wears A Shirt

OH MAN. GOOD TIMES. Good times were had here, all around, by everybody.

JAKE HAS A FAN ClUB ON FACEBOOK. I don't know how it even works but if you can search groups of other colleges, go search Chapman and find the group called "The Fellow Who Never Wears a Shirt." There is so a group dedicated to Jake. Ann told us about it at dinner and Jake was just like..."OMGWTF! Why?" but was entirely amused by it.

Yeah. InsideTrack at 5, dinner at 5:30 with Jake, Josiah, Aaron, Torre, Phaedra, T.K., and that girl who I keep seeing everywhere but I don't know her name. For some reason Jake got on the idea of picking animals for everybody, starting with Phaedra as a gazelle. Josiah became an otter, T.K. became a monkey, the nameless girl became a Siamese Fighting Fish, Torre became an autum snow fox (Aaron's reaction upon hearing: "how the fuck did you come up with that?") and then they had problems coming up with something for me. Josiah went from horse to sea anemone (yeah, THAT was interesting. Jake: "When you poke her, she EATS YOUR HAND!") to cobra, then back to horse. I have no idea WHAT that was all about. The first thing he said was, "no, not whore, MARE!" and everyone was like WHAT?!?! because apparently he just had problems saying the worse horse, and could only come up with the first three letters.

Jared left me a message on my phone in which he babbled for like three minutes about how he couldn't find Phaedra for dinner and I was trying to listen to this message while talking to Phaedra and not even paying attention to it, then I called Jared to tell him we were already int he cafeteria and he was like "WHAT?! Why are you already there!?" and then tried to sneak up on me while still on the phone with me and Aaron had no idea who I was talking to and I was like, "Jared!" "Who's Jared?" "The tall guy!" "The tall guy?" And then Ann and Amy and Kelly and Jared all showed up and got food just as the rest of us were trying to leave for Pre Pre Anime Anime Club Club.

Yeah, we had a whole discussion on what our club is called. Because it takes place BEFORE anime club, hence Pre Anime Club. But since it is ALSO an anime club, it becomes Pre-Anime Anime Club. BUT since we had decided to start way early tonight (6:00 instead of 7:00) we became Pre Pre-Anime Anime Club. THEN, since we're also a club, we stuck another club on the end (and a q, and a p and a zed!) just for the hell of it. Pre Pre-Anime Anime Club Club! And then someone told us that Cassie canceled for tonight anyway so SCRATCH all of that and we just become ANIME CLUB! Cluuuuub!

And that was when Ann told Jake about his fanclub on facebook, and it was SO FUNNY. Jake was amused, shocked, and probably a little freaked out. We, Those Who Were Formerly Called Pre Pre-Anime Anime Club Club, had been trying to leave at 6:00 but when everyone else showed up we ended up staying until about 6:20. And then we all ran over to Beckman and after trying (and failing) to find a room with circular seating, we settled for another room. Josiah immeadiatly signed onto facebook and looked up the club, and we had a good fifteen minutes of amusement reading it, looking at the members and reading the comments. Then for some reason Josiah added some random comments to the group and then joined...which is just amusing. I need to join facebook. Chapman just got it two or so days ago and now it's like...all the rage, totally righteous dude.

At once point, Jake, Phaedra, T.K. and I were all standing on the tables looking up at the screen, and the door opens and this older guy sticks his head in, kind of goes "O___O" and then immeadiately left. THAT was hilarious. Soon after that we left (randomly) to go to the room right next door, and a few minutes later Ann, Amy, and Jared all came in, and from somewhere else we also picked up Vinny and Torre again, and we just hung about and tried to make the projectioner work and didn't even watch anything and Jared and I had a tug of war contest where he tried to push me off the table but I had hold of his jacket and Aaron was yelling "USE THE HORSE STANCE!!!" and it worked until Jared took his jacket off. Actually someone was like "he's gonna let go and you're gonna fall" and I was like "I have his jacket so he'd have to take that off" so he did. Cheater. Cheeeeeater! CHEEEEEATER! Guiltyguiltyguiltyguiltyguiltyguilty!!!
Which is a GREAT segue into DANE COOK because that's totally what happened next. Phaedra, Jared and I left to walk over to Memorial, and found Josh in line. Alex, Enrique (Jared's roommates) and another girl came over and joined us in line, and at 7:30 they opened the doors and in we went.

We sat, strangely, in the EXACT same seats Becca and I sat in to see Jay Mohr. Well, actually the girl and Enrique were in those seats, but it was the same row in almost the same place. Weeeird.

Show started nearly on time, at about 8:10 or a bit before, and they had a warm up comedian just like last time. They introduced him as "Dane Cook's special friend" (eh?) who was some guy named Jay Davis. He was pretty funny, too. Not like...awesome like Dane Cook but so much better than the warm up guy for Jay Mohr.

WELL THE WHOLE SHOW WAS BETTER. YES. The best line from Jay Davis was when he was talking about hurricanes and how they name them like its some granny that’s going to make you cookies (like Francis) and he was like:
“No, we should name it after my ex-girlfriend. We’ll call it Hurricane Bitch. Hurricane Bitch is here and she’s blowing everyone in town!!”

Crude, yeah, but awesomely funny. AHA.

And then DANE COOK YAYOMGBBQLOL.

I totally tried to remember the best parts, and my brain must have been off of elephant mode (they never forget, remember) because I couldn’t remember THAT much stuff….but I tried. Plus a lot of his jokes were really long story-type ones, and I’d have to write like a page to make it funny. But here we go with the shorter ones. Here we go.

“Let’s see how many fans I have here. Piiiicklesss!”


“I may have to start using my trapdoors on friends and family. She’ll come in and be all, “Dane, you said you’d wash these dishes like a week ago, they’re starting to smell.” And I’ll be all like, “no, actually what I said was [yanks mike stand] KKKRWHHhhz!!”


“You know I really believe something when my arm becomes a hatchet. When I start these machete like movements….”


“And then our relationship might become a relationSHIT.”


“You lean into the doorway, your feet do not cross the threshold, and you hold onto the doorframe, leaning in at this 45 degree angle like a fuckin’ velociraptor. So what did I do? I loosed the doorframe, so your all bmmffWAH! [falls forward]”

“And so on that day when he comes into the office with a AK-47 and starts mowing everyone down—BRRRRRRWRMMFFFFF!!!!! BWWWWRRRRAAATTTTTTT!!!!!—he’ll come to my office and be like……………………………thanks for the candy.”

“And when he comes morphing into the staff room everyone’s always like “d’you wanna get the fuck outta the staff room? Come on, let’s all go to the roof. Can you move over a little bit so I can get behind the soda machines too, please?”


"And he has a jubilee of pens in his pocket! It's like a festival of pens coming out of that pocket! In case he has to write a lot apparently. I mean, is he signing constitutions after work? And he's got a turkey baster in there--not necessary."

“You know those smelly markers everyone was always freaking out about in kindergarten? Like…’Oh, the red one! Smells like cherry! SNNNNRRRRTTTT!!! Ahaha, cherry cherry! SNNNNRRRRTTTt!!! And the brown one, OOOH gimme the brown one SNnRRRRRTTTTT!! Smells like cinnamon ahahahah! SNNnnnnrrTTTTTT!” But there was always that pen, the black pen…and it smelled like an asshole.”

“And even though this pen…smelled like an asshole, there was always this one loser kid following you around the classroom going, “can…can I smell it? Can I…eeeehhhh!! Can I smell…eeeehhhh!!”

“And this is when you’re all little tots and tykes! Then you grow up—“brrrrrllllllllwwaaaa!” Yeah, that’s the sound of growing up—“brrrrllllllwaaaahhh!”

“Somebody shit on the coats!”

“I have a signature move. We’ll be making out, and I’ll just go and flick your eye.”

</i>“Nobody likes the HAHA mode!</i>”

“He’s a lying fifty year old man who deserves to have ice cream smashed into his face!”

“We’re chat-chitting!”

“And by the way, I always type with my keyboard right up by my lips.”

“Everybody wants a dream house. A house of their dreams. …..hence the name dream house.”

“You could be all like, “instead of hallways, I want canals!

“There’s that one friend that nobody likes. Her name’s like Karen…Karen the douchebag. She’s a douchebag, right? And Bryan! Bryan’s always the jerk. No, not B-R-I-A-N Bryan, but B-R-Y-A-N Brian!” [the guy in front of us stands up and waves his arms around—obviously was named B-R-Y-A-N Bryan] “Man, I hate that Bryan.”

“One day I’m gonna run out of the house and just start pounding on their windshield and be all like, “if you ever make a U-turn in this driveway again I’m going to cut your head off!!” And! And maybe I’ll get a TWOFER! Maybe he’ll go, “are you out of your fucking mind?!. That’s a TWOFER!”

“Back in the day….yeah, remember cops back in the day? ….that was Wednesday, by the way.”

“Yeah, cops used to stroll down the street, twirling their little batton thing and singing a jaunty tune…and they’d turn and say things to you like, “I’ve got my eye on you, Citizen! Hahaha!”

“Then you get that awkward tour where you don’t even feel comfortable in your own body….it’s like “this is a wall…been here for a couple years. This is my dirty laundry that I like to kick like a soldier….”

Oh man. It was great. SO funny. And he wasn’t like Jay Mohr AT ALL. He had one part at the end about sex but every comedian does, and he was so almost amazingly clean about it that it was just hysterical anyway. The whole thing was just GREAT. GREAT I say. Ooooh man.

So now. Two classes tomorrow. Weehh….

And a quiz.

Your eye color is dark blue. You rely on your logic
solely, and may have more mature interests than
many of your friends and family your age. You
can sometimes also be interverted and lonely
from a lack of understanding with people, and
can be rather frustrated with some types of
folke. Some may describe you as cold and
distant, and you are honest with how you feel
about things.
