Genius

Right now I am witnessing an asian kid at the engineering building playing two silmultaneous games of tetris at the speed of light. It is fascinating. He doesn't know I am watching him...

Life Goes On

So, a couple weeks ago, I thought to myself: I am going to write on my blog more often.

2 projects and 3 exams later I have not written at all. Well, I want to write on it more. I am going to make myself write at least every other day from now until the end of April. I don't really know why but I am feeling inspired to do so by my friend Katie.

Here are some things that have occurred in the last couple of weeks:

- Covering myself in white makeup and fake blood to go to Zombie Prom with Austin, Lynnea, Betsy, Nikki, Katie, and Willy.

- Cooling down after a hard workout with Katherin Rehn and having blood start to poor out of my nose uncontrollably.

- Got a physical for my job this summer that required the normal hearing, vision and drug tests but also a breathing test, chest x-ray, and EKG. 4 nurses came in to do the EKG because they had never seen one done before which involved a lot of staring and pointing. I am starting to think this job is going to be really intense...

-My friends Austin and Hilary both had their birthdays!!!

- Pepper found a dead mouse in my room and a live mouse stuck in the floor vent in the kitchen.

- Zombies vs. Humans was cut short when a Zombie chased a Human in to the path of a car.

- Ashton Kutcher was at the Engineering building for an hour but only Megan Ranegar got to see him. Lucky face.

I LOVE STORMS AND NATURAL DISASTERS

There is something absolutely intriguing about them. I always hope stuff gets damaged in storms so I can be one of those annoying gawkers who drives by and stares. Also, there is this small hope somewhere deep inside that school will be demolished and I will just get a degree for being "close enough".

Well, I suspect that there are a lot of people who like storms but I am not really sure so I put a poll gadget on the side of my page so I can poll all five people who ever read this!

Rule and Laws

There are a lot of rules and laws that are around just for people who don't have a brain and I think that those of us who aren't complete bricks should not have to follow them. J-walking for example... Clearly no sane person wants to get hit by a car and it is pretty obvious whether or not you should cross the street based on a simple glance both ways. This said, the only people who the law should apply to are the crazy people who want to get hit and the dumb people who are unable to figure out that a car is coming. So that law is completely unreasonable and I choose not to follow it.

Here are some other things that I would like to decide for myself instead of having a rule about them:

-The speed at which I drive my car

-Where I park my car (I promise it won't be in the middle of the street)

- The time at which I arrive to class (I will get there when I am ready)

- The time at which I leave class (I will leave when the subject is no longer of interest)

- Number of people or pets living in a rental house

- Where I chain up my bike

Here is a list of real laws that exist and are funny: HAHA

Dumb Goat

Click to see a really dumb goat!

So, we have yet to find a single dead mouse in our house... but we did find a very alive one tonight! The thing was really fat and slow because it had been feasting on our food for weeks. Clearly the traps and the rat poison are super effective.

To get rid of it, we first stood at the top of the stairs looking at it and shrieking for a bit and then, when this failed, we started trying more aggressive pursuit. Kathryn thought it was a good idea to put poison directly in her hand and throw it at the mouse. The box says if the poison touches your skin you need to rinse for 15-20 minutes. Idiot. Also, poison doesn't work the instant the mouse touches it... they have to eat it and then they die a few days later making it completely useless to just throw it at the mouse. Anyways, Jackie was brave and went down and trapped it in a box and then we ran outside and released it across the street. Sick. I hope it doesn't have too many friends living here.

Will You Make A Can Phone With Us?

Tonight we met our neighbors without ever speaking a word to them. It started out by us shooting their windows with a pellet gun and developed into a much friendlier activity.

When we started shooting them, they closed their blinds so we couldn't see them. This meant we had to aim the laser sight through a gap in the blinds to annoy them further. Just when we thought the game was over and that the neighbors were no fun, the blinds opened to reveal a target they had kindly made for us and taped to the window!

After shooting the target a few times we decided more fun was necessary. We made a sign that read: "Will you make a can phone with us?" and shined a flashlight on it so they could read it.

The guys wanted to do it but the can they found was fumbled out the window to the yard below. We were more careful with ours but we still didn't have string. Our next sign said: "We need string."

Sadly neither house had string. Our final sign was a frowny face. Ah well. Maybe another night.

Home Alone: Pros and Cons

I have had the house to myself for 3 days. I have discovered that it is nice sometimes but I definitely prefer having roommates.

Pros:

- I can be really weird (even more than usual)

- I know now that if I live alone I will become a crazy cat lady. I have had numerous discussions with my cat, Sgt. Pepper

- Nakedness is now acceptable but according to Sgt. Pepper, not preferable

- I can be really loud and messy -- though I haven't quite taken advantage of this yet

- No distractions so I can do ALL my homework. HAHAHAHA like that will happen...

Cons:

- The mice are going to kill me because there are more of them in the house then there are people

- I have to call my mom when I check the traps for mice carcasses so that I don't have to do it alone

- It is waaaayyy to quiet

- Alissa's ADHD self and Kathryn's non stop woman dramas aren't here to entertain

- No Jackie dino noises and cuddlekins

- I have to be responsible for stuff (like calling about the gas leak, calling about the mice, calling about the stove not working...which I haven't done yet, buying trash bags, locking the doors at night). So difficult.

Well, thats all I can think of right now. Everyone is coming back tomorrow!!!!!
