apologies all around, I have been without internet and it seems on my own accord which is the worst part. The jacks tricked me and had pictures of computers making me believe it was a computer jack, but oh no it wasn't. Who knew?
Well for an update. I managed to get a rather nice sunburn on my left arm and a small portion of my left thigh thanks to driving up to ithaca on a nice day with the window down. I had no idea how bad it was but one arm was bright red for a good 2 days before it faded and thus began to peel. The tan on my thigh is rather unfortunate as well because it cuts off as if my shorts was covering my leg but it was like an inch short, so when I do wear shorts there is a definate line for tan and pale. Awesome.
I've been busy listening to information meetings all week from 9am to about 5pm, then practicing introductions and a dance as well as being the understudy/director of a play so I'm really technically at 10pm, but OH WAIT!...there's more. I have to do door tags AND boards as well.
do you pity me yet?
However, the people are super awesome AND i get free meals. Can't beat that.
OK time for a 115AM shower.

And now may I present, the wise words of Mr. Shawn Evanson. (all in one day mind you)
1) While attending a birthday dinner at a restaurant he got the sudden urge to burp and quickly decided to let others present view its effects with a little help from an glass and straw. Proud at this idea he exclaimed:
Check it out, I'm going to burp through this straw.
And he did.
2) Later in the evening after father had opened his gifts. There was one gift in particular that we couldn't wait to see. It was from the wonderful dollar store. You could call them magical pills that when put in warm/hot water open up to become MYSTICAL CREATURES. As such we spent amply time staring at colored pills waiting for the plastic/gooey coating to melt to reveal these sponge creatures; one of which was a Pegasis. It was taking some time revealing itself and Shawn was poking it's leg claiming:
It's leg is retarded.
I reminded him that's not a politically correct statement, to which he replied:
Sorry, it's leg is slow.
Much better Shawn, much better.
3) Continuing on our endever with the sponge creatures in the tupperware container, the water inside began to become less than luke warm. As such Shawn thought he could help matters by adding some body heat into the water. I questioned him about his efforts. He answer was the following (for full effect image statement said with much sass and confidence):
I'm trying to heat the water with my fingers.
A true genius.

I've become addicted to watching my brother play a video game. It would be MUCH better if I was addicted to playing it but unfortunately I dont really know how and it's much easier to just tell my brother what to do. So its like I'm telepathically playing a video game. Yeah that's right, I got super powers fools.
The game that steals hours of my life is Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic. Now I know it sounds nerdy but it's awesome. My brother is playing to be on the dark side so you get the privalge of stealing, kill the innocent, stabbing people in the back, and trying to persuade others to be evil. It's fun. I keep giving my brother advice on what to say to one character. You see his character is a woman and another is a man who has a crush on her so I tell him how to sweet talk this guy into being on the dark side.
horray for manipulation!

Miracle!
(not the disney movie, the event)
I went to go to sleep last night when lo and behold, there twas an alarm clock on my pillow. It read:
"To: Col, Love: Mother Nature"
She really cares about me, it's sweet.
In other news, I recently played the new X Files playstation game and I can confidently say that if zombies ever were to take over my town or even the world, I would not courageously fight them off. Computer generated ones are scary enough, I doubt I could face a real one without fainting. I'd prob become one myself or just hide in an attic somewhere...eating cookies...
So if they do take over, just kill me before they get to me. I want to go out as a human with some dignity still left.

I dont use an alarm clock in the morning because I have been depending on myself to wake up when my body thinks it's time. According to my body I need like 12 hours of sleep. I am way too tired at night. Usually I'm up until 230 - 3am and I've been checking out at 130. Then I wake up at 12 or 1pm. This is no good.
Perhaps I shall find my alarm clock and plug it in, OR I'll ask mother nature to create a mild earthquake at about 10am. That should do the trick. She's pretty cool. Helped me with my math homework back in the day.
I have nothing witty to say. Writers block. Shall return when wit comes back.

"when the hell are you going to update?"
-My Mom
I got back from Virginia today, yeah thats where I went this weekend and why I didnt update, though I'm lazy and prob wouldnt have updated anyway. Conclusions about the South:
they are so slow because it's freakin' hot down there.
it's fun to reinforce stereotypes even if they arent true.
there are too many bugs.
Virginia is not 3 hours away, its like 9.
ok the end.
I'm going to sleep a bunch and not wake up at 5am.

well office duty is over now.
Didn't have a chance to undate because office assistants needed the computer, or rather, the space behind the desk which had the computer on it. Totally sucked. There was maybe 12 people I helped out in my 8 hours there.
Only good thing, I was engulfed into the world of Harry Potter again. I'm totally jealous of wizards. I'm on chapter 14 now. More that half way done. So it wasn't completely wasteful. However, if it wasn't for that book, I'm sure I would have went insane.
Probably would have spoke in tongues too.

Office Duty Status:
11:35 AM
Been here for an hour and a half. Sleepy, right contact is slightly fuzzy which only adds to the appeal of sleep. Up to chapter 4 in Harry Potter 3. Ate pretzels and lemonade.
Office assistant and manager person left around 10:30. Said they would be back later. There's no way of knowing how long I will have access to this computer. But I'm wasting time by myself: online n such for now.
Occassional checkouts. Current count: 6
God Bless reslife for sticking me here to do checkouts for eight hours. Thank you for robbing me of sleep time, potential hang out with friends, and/or spending money.

Yeah so I dunno how I feel about this new Blog format. It's like I don't even know you anymore, blogger. What happened?
Moving on...
If anyone hasn't read this yet, please do. Conan is the man.
http://www.february-7.com/features/conan.htm
Copy and Paste for good times.
Tomorrow I thought I was on office duty from 10am-2pm, but then the lovely RA Tak pointed out I'm on until 6pm. 8 hours of my life ripped away, and it's in an office that is the opposite of close. Not fun times. As such I might update often. Perhaps seeing the extent of my boredom. I am bringing re-inforcements, aka DVDs and books. Keep me in your prayers.
Oh and today since I had nothing to do I decided to read the script of Eyes Wide Shut...
yeah it doesn't even sound good on paper. Check minus.

dude, I'm totally a junior now. That's just weird. Plus my knee hurts a lot when I exercise or walk around too much. I'm SO old.
I was up last night til 430am talking to residents. I will miss them so much. They are awesome, even if they are loud and I have to tell them to shut up all the time. We asked each other what appliance we would be. I pondered for a great while, and couldnt think of anything else besides a toaster. Toasters can warm many things to make them better, however if you toast for too long, you get burned, AND if you stick a knife in me, you will prob die of electrocution. It's so true in real life too. You don't know how many people I've killed over the years....
seriously..

Compliments of my cousin Pat, I'd like to turn this post over to the news:
Monkey waste from zoo spills onto highway
MILWAUKEE - Some monkey business tied up traffic Tuesday for about three hours when a truck carrying waste from the zoo spilled its contents.
The spill of monkey waste and food, water and algae from a moat at the Milwaukee County Zoo occurred about 10:45 a.m., closing eastbound I-94 and southbound U.S. 45/I-894 until about 2:30 p.m., officials said.
Kim Brooks, a spokeswoman for the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department, said a latch securing the tank that held the waste broke on the truck.
"It's one of those things," she said. "You certainly don't want to be in the deputy's place" investigating the matter.
Jennifer Diliberti, public relations coordinator for the zoo, said the waste had been removed from the moat at the zoo's Macaque Island, a process done twice each year. It has a consistency of sludge and is dark brown to black in color, she said.
"I think it's comparable to any sort of sewage," she said. "One of the zookeepers said from a scale of one to 10, the smell's a nine."
The material had been "aged" at the zoo for 48 hours before being loaded into a Milwaukee County Parks Department truck for removal, she said.
That destroys any virus that might be in the material, she said.
"It doesn't pose any health problems," Diliberti said.

I realized while reading that the writer really needs to find a new word for "said." I mean, come on, I know it's a story about poo so you probably got all excited to write it but that doesn't mean you can slack off.

it has been far too long.
Today was glorious despite my tired, sleepy eyes from going to bed at 4am. And this was no hey let's watcha good move until 4AM, it was a hey I have lots of work to do tomorrow one. However, I am happy to report that it was a wonderful and statisfactory last day of class for me. But the marathon isn't over yet. I still need to write a 15 page case study paper for my propaganda class and three papers for a studio class and a final draft for another class.
YAYE
I can't wait to be done with all this junk. Personally I dont understand finals week. Everyone hates it and it stresses people out WAY too much. I for one feel my sanity is tested. I dont know why we havent come up with a better system. For example, there is a student lottery at the beginning of the year and you can only take a max of three finals. OR perhaps throughout the year the teachers decided who will have to take a final - since I'm a nerd I feel I could avoid being picked so that one is highly biased on my part.
Honestly, I think the teachers make us do tons of work because they went through it too and they want us to suffer. But I believe that the children are the future. Let them lead the way. So to all yall teachers out there, you better hope I dont get elected President one day cuz there will be some changes.

So last Tues I walked into Culture and Media noticing the teacher was handing out something that looked like a test, but thought it couldnt be bc I totally forgot and wasn't ready to take this test. But it was.
I debated whether or not I should just leave, or try my luck. I tried it. I did well on the 5 mult choice but I dodged many parts to the essay question because I didnt know the difference between a more and a folktale in social terms OR what the word subversive meant. I was embarassed for my sub-par argument which I made up on the spot.
All this week I have been dreading getting the test back with curious anticipation thinking maybe there was a chance I did well on it.
I got it back Thursday. Before the teacher handed it to me I said, "this outta be interesting because I forgot all about this test."
I looked at the grade. Cartoon double take with boing sound. It was the best grade I got so far in this class.
So I study and I get a B, I dont and somehow in my incoherent rambling I get an A.
Say wha?

A 1AM Convo....
EOR1313: it'd have to be something like ah your devil start not being your mom
EOR1313: last night in my trailer
Lactaid Lady: i dont even know what you are talking about anymore
EOR1313: that's cos i'm tripping
Moments Later....
EOR1313: but i decided the opposite of omg (oh my god) is "ah your devil"
EOR1313: so maybe i'll start saying ayd instead of omg
Lactaid Lady: yeah
EOR1313: and then because the opposite of my dad is your mom
EOR1313: it triggered my need to tack on "last night in my trailer"
Lactaid Lady: its too late now to redeem yourself
EOR1313: i'm just attempting to demonstrate a logical progression of thoughts
Lactaid Lady: there is no hope
