greybetaSometimes, I feel like my house is a jail cell. A nice jail cell where I get fed three times daily and unlimited internet access. But all my actions are monitored, and I have to report all of my movements and actions to my parents jail wardens. I know finals just ended for most people, but could we hurry up and go back to school?
However, even jails have to let people out on parole. I am going up to Tulsa today to clear a vaccination hold by claiming "moral opposition" against vaccines. I do NOT like needles. Also on the docket is talking with the education chair about doubly certifying by minoring in math, talking with my research advisor more about the details of my refocused project, and officially register for classes. I need to put some winter clothes in, kick my scheming roommate's butt, and reorganize my room. The red headed Brigid has agreed to play a song on the piano for me, though she has not practiced very much this semester. I also need her help to round up some writers for the liberal side, so I have a pool of people to draw from instead of just one poor liberal.

wldulk2knwwho, is apparently singing somewhere tonite. And perhaps we'll be able to do random tradition for dinner.
The blonde bombshell Tearsa, a girl who dated the friend I've known since kindergarten, has invited me to a wine and cheese party at her house. It's for her pledge class and friends. We competed for our high school at the state FBLA, a business leadership club, and we were on the forensics team. She was on the parliamentary procedure team while I did impromptu or extemporaneous speaking. She's not your stereotypical blonde sorority girl, as she takes an interest in the world and leads the Model UN group on campus. I wish I could have done Model UN but I just didn't have time. We'd be better friends if our sphere of influence met more, but just like in high school our junctures were few and far between.
C'est la vie.

The Ferrett wants you to know two things about love. First, assume your partner will make you choke on the wrong meat and that you have to tell that. Secondly, in the language of love, you must tell your partner what it means to love you because they cannot read your mind.

ARod will play for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic. Because the Dominicans actually care.
U.S. getting stuck in a "group of death" next summer in the World Cup may not be a bad thing. It'll keep our team focused and we won't underestimate anybody. Seriously, if our defense improves we've got a shot to make it to the final four.

I talked to Mike on the phone at 6:00. He was stuck on a hard fight on Romancing Saga. I came over and ate a pizza, worked on a blog entry, generally goofed around and laughed at Mike getting pwned alot. We mentioned the fact that we knew that Saga games reward tenacity...there is no leveling up but there is the right sequence of events that can happen for you to win an extreme difficult fight. It would be akin to flipping a coin and getting heads ten times in a row. Now if any of those flips turn up tails, Mike lost. Sometimes on the first flip, sometimes on the last flip. Eventually the perfect storm of events happened and he did win the boss fight...at like 10:30. Mike died too much in that four and a half hour span. But his persistence finally paid off.
Too bad the thief can't transfer that to other areas of his life.

I think I have more of a brown nose than a red nose, but maybe that's just because I'm Asian.

Do you say "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays"? In my typical moderate fashion, I use both.

 Sweet and shy, you tend to be happiest when you're making someone else happy. Why You're Naughty: You sometimes stick that nose where it doesn't belong Why You're Nice: Christmas would be a sad affair without you! |
