Talk Hard!

Good afternoon readers (Shannon, Jamie, Christina, and Serah lol). What? How was my weekend, you ask? Well, maybe you didn't ask, but I'm gonna tell you anyway. Friday I woke up, and thought to myself, "A whole day without classes to worry about. What could I possibly do with all this free time? I know, I'll see how much homework I can get done today so I don't have to do any for the rest of the weekend!"

So pretty much all of Friday was spent in Christina's room finishing my Graphic Design and then watching Captivity at like midnight. Thanks for pointing out the obvious blooper, Christina. It totally ruined the movie for me.

Then Saturday I was in a weird bipolar mood so I was back and forth from my room to Christina's. Then Jamie came and hung out. That was nice.

Last night me, Jamie, and Serah watched Pump Up the Volume (Christian Slater, amazing as always). Then we watched The Girl Next Door. I don't care how crude it is, I think it's effing hilarious. After that I went on this crazy internet quest for Christian Slater pictures... and found a shitload at http://www.christian-slater.com/. I put a bunch of them on a screensaver. I'm such a dork. All the pictures I chose, though, are from his heroin and alcohol stage... so Christina, you're not the only one who seems to like those types, apparently. I will say though that for a guy who's old enough to be my dad, Christian Slater is still a very attractive man. He just needs better roles.

Now, other than having a scary amount of Christian Slater pictures on my computer, I also have this weird realization that almost every celebrity crush I have is in the 28-40 range. That's really weird, right?

"If I knew anything about love I would be out there making it instead of sitting in here talking to you guys." - Mark/Hard Harry Pump Up the Volume

"Eat your cereal with a fork and do your homework in the dark." - same as above.

Changes and Observations

As you can see, I've changed my blog look. Who knew there were more templates out there? Anyway, I'm aware the new appearance is pretty loud, but I like it. Let me know what you think since you're the one(s) reading and looking at it.

Now that we got that out of the way, a few observations.

Ladies living in a certain dorm building using a certain bathroom on the second floor: If you pee on the seat, for the love of Mark Wahlberg, clean up after yourself! And don't tell me you don't notice - you PEED on the SEAT!!! There's no way anybody doesn't notice that. More than once, more than twice - in the same week - I've had to wipe pee off the seat before I sat down. I know there are some things in a dorm lifestyle that aren't typical: Dishes other than your own being in the sink; washers in the laundry room being like a quarter of the size of a normal one while the driers are industrial size, and so on and soforth. But I for one learned very early on in life that it is not socially or hygenically acceptable to pee anywhere but IN the toilet, and if you do you clean it up before anyone notices it and you're labeled "Pee Girl" or "Mr. Pee" or, my personal favorite "You're fucking gross".

Oh, and clean your hair out of the god damn drain! Not just the shower, but the SINK. Really, ladies, don't tell me you can't notice this long wookie-like creature that was once your hair swimming around at the bottom of the shower stall. I'll admit I don't always wipe my own drain down when I'm finished... but if I had long, thick, dark hair I would. Always. And don't even try to tell me you can't see your hair in the sink. I went to brush my teeth and it looked like Hagrid had just given himself a haircut above the sink. Grossed out? So was I.

That's all for now. Enjoy!

Things That Make You Go... Huh?

I've spent most of my week working my ass off to get all my homework and reading done, but now that I have a bit of downtime here are some conversations that just made me laugh.

Over AIM (not exactly quoted. Discussing a myspace survey I posted in a blog in which one of the questions was: If you had to marry someone on your top friends, who would it be?)
Nick: I read your blog and I see my name as an answer to a survey question... in the same sentence as "gun to the head."
Me: Hahaha.
Nick: Really, would it have been so difficult to say that out of me, Kevin, Chris, and lesbian marriage, you'd pick me?
Me: Sorry. I just didn't want you to think I was proposing to you via myspace survey.

Talking to Serah at around 8 pm. (not exactly quoted)
Me: "I need some caffeine."
Serah: "So drink some."
Me: "Well, I have a Mountain Dew in my fridge."
Serah: "That works."
Me: "Well, it is after 8... and I do have a class at 10:30 in the morning."
Serah: (beat) "True."
Me: "I could drink some tea. See, I have a range of caffeine here. There's English Tea, which has caffeine, but doesn't really do much at all. And then there's Earl Grey Tea, which is more relaxing than anything else, but does have a bit of caffeine. Then there's good ol' Lady Grey, which has caffeine and will give me a pick-me-up, but not keep me up all night. And then there's Irish Tea... which is pretty much like a Caffeine Fairy coming up behind you and smacking you in the back of the head."

Over AIM (After listening to soundbites from Corey Feldman's 1999 album out of curiosity)
Me: So, Corey Feldman's music? Creepiest shit I've ever heard.
[a few lines later]
Me: It's like meditation/elevator/creepy music.
Christina: lol
Me: Serah was like, "If there's any heavy breathing you're closing that link!"
Me: And there was!!!!
Christina: LOL
Me: So I did.

After taking a wrong exit on the highway while driving with Christina and trying to find our way back to Chester from Haverhill.
Me: "Just think of Mark Wahlberg and everythin will be okay."
Christina: "Everything is okay... but let's think about him anyway."

Added Friday Afternoon
Over AIM (not exactly quoted)
Christina: I just almost had a heart attack I just got so excited.
Me: ?
Me: Naked Mark?
Christina: Timmy's phone can text again!
Me: Ooh.
Christina: Just kinda all the sudden
Me: Even better
Christina: Naked Mark?
Me: Wahlberg.
Christina: Oh. I'd be excited for that too.

Head Underwater...

... and they tell me to breathe easy for a while.

So the song doesn't really describe my life, but that one line kind of does.
This is the first full week of classes and I'm trying to get into the swing of things and trying not to let myself procrastinate. If you don't start a bad habit, you don't have to break it, right?
I feel a little overwhelmed by classwork right now. I have a lot of reading to do for all of them and there's only so much reading you can do before your eyes stop cooperating. And I have to draw for Graphic Design, and drawings never feel finished... kind of like stories. I'm forever editing and re-working things. I'm just afraid of falling behind.
And my class schedule isn't ideal. My earliest class is at 10:30 a.m., which isn't even really that early, and my only night class is on Thursdays from 6 to 8:50, so the time isn't so bad. But I don't see my friends as much as I'd like because our schedules don't match up and we all have work to do. I feel a little detached from people, a little isolated. So that's not so good.
That's pretty much life right now.

Life's Like an Hourglass

So, classes start tomorrow. I have Art History II at 10:30 and Graphic Design I at 4. I have no books yet because I'm poor. Never a good time.

I'm looking forward to Advanced Fiction and Intro to Existentialism, although they're both on Thursday, which is going to be my most insane day. Hopefully I'll get some good writing accomplished this semester. I've been in a slump the past few months.

I have an urge to make silly youtube videos soon. I don't know what of, but some kind of parody I hope.

RIP Heath Ledger<--- heard about that in the middle of writing this blog. :(

Here We Are Again

I'm back at Chester. Once again, it's like I never left.

Classes start Wednesday. I still need books I can't afford. We'll see how I manage to pull that off.

That's about it for now.

Cheers.

As Vacation Comes to an End

... I am possibly getting a cold. Figures, I had 4 weeks to get sick and I do it right before going back to school.

Well, Jamie and Serah came over this past weekend and we had some quality giggling, which was good.

I've been watching Season 1 of The Tudors. Not sure how I feel about it yet.

I'm getting ready to go back to Chester and resume the chaos.
