Ding Dong

I agree with JB, we haven't posted in a while. For me its been pretty quiet. I got home about two days ago and so far its been good. My sister had to be a star child and make my mother a kitchen table for christmas :-O. I was soo bored at home back home because no one was there. I was going insane and downloaded nancy drew games. I got pretty nerdy locking myself in the room with the cat trying to solve puzzles then peeking at the online walk throughs because I suck. I don't understand how you were supposed to get that!

So I called JB and told her we should do a gift exchange among us girls. I think that could be nice like last year.

So did anyone get anything that you have to pretend to like because its like from a grandma or you just pretend and go ...."ooo wow i love it......"

LIFE

So, I've noticed that there hasn't been any posts lately and this has made me sad. Well to be honest I've had nothing to blog about...since nothing really exciting has happened to me in a long while lol. At this point, Fall quarter is over and we are all (presumably) enjoying our Winter break. I'm sure I'd be enjoying it a lot more if it weren't raining. I'm cool with rain in general...but it's been DAYS now. UGH!! I wish it would stop, but from what weather.com tells me...it will continue to rain through Wednesday.
Because of the rain, I haven't been going out very long or very often and have been forced to seek other forms of entertainment. I've been reading Hans Christian Andersen stories, jamming to Queen songs non-stop with my lil bro, trying to calm my dog down (she's been freaking out cuz of the rain), watching lots of movies on Netflix, and plan to write a Minesweeper game.

I've also noticed that we don't have very many pictures. Pictures we'd like to keep, I mean. I know we're all really busy, but we have to find more time to go on adventures!

That's it for now. I hope you're all doing well.

"I've redorkulated!"

Halloween Weekend

Ah, Halloween. This year there were tricks, treats, and plenty of screaming...I think the screaming was the best part to be honest. Oh jeez, if I could bottle up that moment in time I would(although NCN might not be too happy about that). In fact, we had a little too much fun, which is why we are all up right now trying to finish work that should have been done ages ago. In my case anyway; I'm sure that even if JukeBox had worked all weekend she still wouldn't be done. Regardless, here we are burning the midnight oil. Except me. Obviously. I decided to take a small break from pulling my hair out trying to figure out my proposal for Spanish class and blog it up. I should really start doing this more often, otherwise it's all going to pile up on me and I'll have to write super long posts to cover all the excitement.

SO...the bare bones of this weekend go like this:
FRIDAY NIGHT-A USC party in the heart of the ghetto with friendly acquaintances Book Guy, Trekkie, and their frat. Of course NCN and JB went, looking fabulous in their costumes. Fairly kick ass they were too, with NCN totally smokin' in a flapper outfit and JB looking super classy as Christine Daaé. She even found a Phantom at the party to complete the outfit(it was, funnily enough, Trekkie). From what I hear the night was a blast, and included everything from taco trucks to getting police help to break into their car. The car which was their ride that is. In the words of NCN or JB(I don't remember which) "It was the first legit college party we've ever been to." Which might be kind of sad considering we're third years but I think it's just a testament to how awesome the night was.

SATURDAY-After attempting all day to get some damn work done and failing miserably we three walked over to the Boys' place to hang out. Only one of them was there, and we started to watch a movie called Se7en as he washed his dishes. Before we could even get halfway through I had to go to work, so I hauled ass trying not to be late with the other three trailing behind(we had picked up a Scribbler by then). On our way back to the residence halls we had our first scare: who do we see across the street but MUTUAL FRIEND, GOING IN THE SAME DIRECTION. Thanks to some quick thinking and a walk through Family Housing we managed to avoid what would have been the most awkward and time consuming confrontation ever. I did not have time for that shit, which is why I didn't mind so much skulking like a creeper in the Family Housing streets. Work was unproductive as far getting any of my assignments done, but I got free food. Afterword NCN and Scribbles picked me and we mosied on down to Monte Carlo night, ready to enjoy all the fake gambling and free food it had to offer. Let me just say, there were plenty of first years around which means there were plenty of young, dumb, overly excited kids strutting about dressed like skanks and super heroes. We people-watched, then called it a night.

SUNDAY-Even though today was actually Halloween everyone was way too partied out to care. The kids at the Res Hall all gave me weird looks while I was working, like I had missed the memo on when Halloween was actually celebrated. This was probably because I was dressed as a Canadian for my whole shift and kept asking them if they "need help, eh?" Needless to say Halloween started Thursday night and ended at around 3 am Sunday morning, for most people. Once again the day proved fruitless as far getting any school work done, but that is honestly to be expected by now. The real excitement started after we ate our poor man's spaghetti, cooked up in a jiffy and seasoned with dreams of better food. It was delicious. We three roommates had a somewhat profound conversation about who believes and ghosts and who believes in aliens as we watched America's Most Haunted Places on the Travel Channel. Scribbles eventually came over with her Guy and we watched The Orphanage. That was a scary movie, and also very, very sad. Still scary, but sad. Given that we all had work to do, and that NCN's best gay/guy friend came over we decided to stay up and do work. Which is when the best thing of the weekend happened.

THE SCARE:
I have taken it upon myself to document our normal activity as much as possible, because you never know what you might miss. Being that it's technically still Halloween until I fall asleep, I decided to take one last picture to complete the weekend. I got one of JukeBox in the middle of programming and went on my merry way to capture NCN in the act of doing something normal. The only light is coming from NCN's room
on that side of the apartment and so the bathroom is fairly dark. I walk normally to other side from JB's room and see NCN at the sink washing her hands. I stand there for a good 7 to 10 seconds and then take a picture, flash on...NCN SCREAMS HER HEAD OFF TURNS AROUND TRIES TO RUN GETS CAUGHT ON THE MAT FALLS TO THE FLOOR. It was literally the scariest, funniest shit that happened all weekend, and maybe even in all of my life. The best part is, I managed to take a picture of the sheer terror that NCN went through, and it is perhaps the best damn thing ever captured on film.

Things in my life....

1. we had that big ole talk about the new "la otra" and we all came to the ignoring conclusion because I hate being in relationships where all there is is take take take and no give.

2. I am hurting inside. I feel like someone put a blender in my and pressed liquefy. I am so nervous because he and I are fighting again because of our different personalities mostly tipped off from the fact that I bought some stuff by where my sister lives and asked him if he could help me pick it up. I am scared that I am becoming a burden on him and he feels like I am always relying on him and stuff... we are on a break right now. I really need you guys right now. can you I come over tomorrow. I just need hugs. I don't want to lose him and he doesnt want to lose me but he says he wants to get focused on school first because he starts on wednesday. I am only human...

Wanna Bet....

Sooooo...in the time since school has begun a lot of normal shit has gone down. Some of it good, some of it bad, but all of it was equally important in the lives of us who are part of the Normal Activity. A few highlights include, but are certainly not limited to:

1) The first party of the year: JukeBox and NCN both went out the first Friday of school, with very mixed results. Some fun was had, but the next morning brought them back to the apartment with many a tale to tell and not all with happy endings either.
2)The Intervention: The Intervention which we all knew had to happen happened. It was satisfying at the time, we all thought our Mutual Friend understood that her life was going in a bad direction, that her ego was way overinflated, that her obsessive nature would lead her down a dark and terrible path, and that she was being an altogether fairly awful person. In the weeks since, there has been a regression in personality adjustment, and I for one am annoyed at the wasted effort.
3)The Second Party: NCN attended this party alone because poor JB was dying of some strange cold( which she might have picked up from me then passed on to NCN). She stated the day after that it was incredibly fun, even though Mutual Friend displayed some extremely idiotic behavior such as acting drunk when she totally wasn't, hitting on boys who didn't know any better, and being loudly and obnoxiously rude to hosts of the two parties they attended that night. But what else is new, right?
4)The Kickback: This one was out of the blue. Like completely. I came back from a meeting at work around 12:30 am last Wednesday/Thursday to find an empty apartment, with only a note to eat any food I might find from JB and NCN. Needless to say I texted JB to see where my roommates were, only to receive a slightly tipsy text back stating they were at a kickback. I think they got back from that one at around 4 am, because I seem to remember them walking back into the apartment. But that might have been a dream. The next day we all had to up by 7:30 am, and let me tell you JukeBox was NOT happy. They might think a little harder the next time a spur of the moment party is offered to them. LOL
5) OH YEAH! The Social Network: We watched the free premiere of the Facebook movie the night it came out, and I think JB picked up some nifty programming tips( ie "drink a shot every 10 lines of code"), while NCN and I fawned over the twins who aren't really twins at all. The Boys went as well and we got some fairly awesome NA recorded that night.

Any real information and details will probably have to come from NCN and JB, since I wasn't at most of these events due to my highly anti-social nature. Better step it up ladies and start blogging those stories. This is really just a general overview of the exciting times we've had this Fall quarter at lovely UCR.

Now, to the point of this blog post( I know right? You thought I was done and I've just now begun). For the last week or so I have been STARVING. The loss of a meal plan has hit me fairly hard, as well as the increase in all the food offered at the dorms. I honestly don't know how NCN and JB did it last year. But anyway, I've been wasting away from lack of food, specifically bread and the almighty Cup of Noodles, without which most college students cannot survive. Today we finally decided to go grocery shopping again...to be honest, I sort of finagled the whole thing, by practically dragging the other two with me to Rite Aid so I could buy myself some soap. I mean, I honestly needed soap, how else was I to wash myself? And really, FOOD 4 LESS is right across the street so how could we pass up the chance for food? Anyway, I hope NCN and JB will forgive me for being so annoying about my starvation. I swear, I'll shut about it now that there's bread in the apartment. The real excitement begins on our trip back to campus.
We stopped by Jack in the Box because eff healthy living, we were craving some damn tacos. Which we promptly acquired. As soon as we leave this fine fast food establishment we see the number 1 bus go off down the street. Slightly discouraged at the thought of waiting, we decide to walk to down the street towards campus to the next bus stop. I voted against the one in front of Rite Aid due to the prolific amount of street walking women to be found there at all hours of the day, often times in the company of their good friend Mr Crack Pipe. Little did we know that it is nearly impossible to avoid the ladies of the night when it is already night. As we waited for the bus, for ALMOST AN HOUR, we saw no less than two of these particular kinds of women trying to drum up some business to no avail. JukeBox in particular was made very, very uncomfortable by the fact that one of the "ladies" kept walking past us "looking for a good time". If only you could have seen the look of terror on her poor innocent face; it was pretty funny. Just as I was despairing of never seeing the bus again JukeBox made a remark that was quite out of character "Wanna bet on who'll get picked up first? Us or the crack whore?" and then not even a minute later bus 16 came to deliver us of our misery at the bus stop. Only to leave us in agony to wait for the trolley to our building. Thankfully there were a variety of people passing the trolley stop for us to admire or laugh at, as the situation warranted. Overall our trip to buy what was originally just soap and bread ended after nearly 4 hours, nearly 3 of which were just us getting back to the apartment. That is what I call some fine Normal Activity.
I've spent enough time dawdling on here I guess. My carpal tunnel is acting up so I better do my reading. A warning to those of you who think of venturing down University Avenue after dark: don't.

Last Week of Summer

All in all this has been an interesting summer. I'm actually really glad I went to summer school or else I would have gotten really bored much sooner than I did. But it's been rejuvenating. Now I'm ready to get back to work and to the freedoms I don't really have at home. =) I know this is going to sound really cheesy (Damnit NCN you're starting to rub off your cheesiness on me lol) but I have a feeling this is going to be the best year yet.

"English -- Who needs that? I'm never going to England!"

If I could have any ringtone right now it would be the main guitar riff to this song. I'd be impatiently waiting for my phone to ring just so I could jam to it. haha.

CAN YOU KNOTTS??

I just really wanted to post that somewhere. Title courtesy of JukeBox

FML

So I've officially lost all faith in men. I don't want to keep whining like this, but this has been a really big upset for me. I was strung along for two years and in the end he was just a complete waste of time. Worse than that, I feel so stupid for believing that he might have liked me just a tiny bit as much as I liked him. So, so unfair. Why couldn't I have met a nice guy that would value me as a person? Life just kept throwing him at me over and over to the point where it was impossible to forget about him. But I know all that is over now. Even he has to have enough decency to leave me alone after that. Now I just wish the time would go by faster. I know it would be much easier to forget if I had school to keep me distracted. If I had anything to keep me from thinking of this, really. Oh and of course the company of my good friends. Seriously. Talking to all of you has helped me out so much. I'm so thankful for you guys. I don't know what I would do without you all...=)

can summer be over already?

Hello lovelies!

blah! I want school back again because I miss you guys. Can you please come back now? Its not the same without you guys and I can't stand my roomie. She has NO consideration for anyone else in the house. Don't ever room with her. Its harsh but you would not be able to stand this. La otra (your roomie) is a saint, a SAINT!!!! against her. anyways, the boys are still down for D-land and even got the hookup by visiting a friend they don't really like that much. Don't get me wrong I don't want to go back to classes but its worth it having you guys here. I promise I will got out with you guys when you come back as in the club or something though I am still not down for getting drunk. I guess I am just weird that way. I am going to try to read some books before school starts. Any recommendations. Okay, ttyl guys! LOVE YOU!!!!

WHOOP HAIR CUT

So now what?

Summer school is over. I feel like I no longer have a purpose. haha jk. There are only 10 types of people in this world: Those who understand binary...and those who don't. hahaha that's funny cuz 10 is 2 in binary...lol ;)

"In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women."

HIYO!

So yesterday JukeBox calls me up and she can't stop laughing. It was very strange, and I was very entertained. I would have talked to her more, but it was pretty late so I sent JukeBox to bed. I look forward to her explanation of random giddiness on Friday.

Also, just wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY again to NCN. I really miss you all :]

(Not as much as I keep missing scribblers calls though, embarrassed face)

"Can you lower it down?"

Void that other post. We worked everything out. Dudes its getting so hard with these living arrangements! its like 24/7 quiet hours unless she wants to be loud. blah.....advice?

Confused

i am scared guys. so confused. me and Pickuptruck are really talking about our relationship and we may or not continue our relationship. Its so difficult but when we dont talk about things we are so happy.

Hopefully a new start...

Okay..so why did I not know that Napoleon past on to the next life where he was greeted with 40 virgin betas? bleh.... Who will watch my slinky post its now?

Okay so being here without you guys is makes me feel like the watermelon we hollowed out that one time and tricked everyone to thinking it was just cut up when we made cocktail with MightyMouse in mundo.

Its just not the same without us all together.

Eu-oprah (someone help me give her a name)is moving in tomorrow.

I am on a major haul trying to sell all my books online.

Also, I finally got my grades. A+, B+,B+, and sigh... B. My classes were hard and I procrastinated. I have to make a better balance between Pickuptruck ( u kno :-) )and school. That was ultimately my downfall. I have to stop using Carpe diem as an excuse.

I miss living with you guys so much. So senior year, the four of us right??

Okay so we need to buy tickets for Phantom soon. I should paint half my face white.

Work sucks but i am getting lots of hours so lots of money. Atleast I have Euoprah, jukebox and what do we call ManOverBoard's other half? grassyballs? haha HornedRimmed (glasses) we must choose a name).

lately I have been obsessed with mortal combat-deception..I know right? lol.

Anyone up for a roadtrip b4 we all graudate.

....here's to the most scattered brain blog thus far! :-)

Catching Up

I don't know how everyone else's summer is going but mine if fine and dandy. There are just a few things that are taking me a while to get used to, and I believe college has spoiled me for life and so I will never fully adjust to living at home again.

Item 1: Apparently, my sister and her husband now practically live at our house. And while this means that they're fixing up broken things and buying us food, it's also 4 times as much work to keep the house clean, even less space for all our stuff, the washing machine is always being used, and lately, if dinner isn't adequate, twice as many dishes.

Item 2: I got way too used to having my own room, with all the included perks that I didn't notice until I came back. These included my own drawers, a closet, a bed, a place for my books, my own towel, and a place for my toothbrush, to name a few.

Item 3: Our kitchen has been completely rearranged. I have no idea where to find pots and pans for cooking, half of our dishes have been thrown away, a cupboard that used to be full of tupperware is now full of food...it's enough to drive me crazy.

Item 4: Did I mention I have no way to organize my clothes? I look like a hobo because I can't find anything I'm looking for.

Besides all the little stuff, I am loving being back home. It's funny to think that I hated all the time I spent alone at school, and now that I am home I cherish every moment I can be by myself, which sadly does not occur very often. I took a shower today, during which people kept walking in and out of the bathroom because they needed things. Ah well, I should enjoy this while I can. Summer goes fast.

So Jukebox, N.C.N, how are you gals doing?

Ethics and Morality

I just finished reading A Clockwork Orange. It was one of those books that leaves you thinking, "Wow." The big moral issue in the story surrounds the idea of when a human ceases to be human being. A person that blindly does evil cannot be human. Yet, if good is imposed on someone, they become nothing more than a clockwork orange. That is, they are seemingly "alive" and "juicy", but they are nothing more than machines on the inside. It's the ability to choose between right and wrong that ultimately makes you human.

Also, I think Stanley Kubrick is a crazy man for having made that book into a movie. If I were Anthony Burgess, I'd be pissed at him, too. HAHA.


"How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?"

Goodbye Napoleon.

It's hard to see things come to end,
you'll be missed my watery friend.

From 1 to 10, you were an 11,
and now you're swimming in fishy heaven.

But though we may feel as though we're gonna cry,
I won't shed a tear, and i'll tell you why...

'cuz as your momma said, you had a good run,
So here's to you, Napoleon.
<3

CHAOS

I hate moving back home just because of all the unpacking and mess that I have to live with until I can find a place for all my stuff. Sigh, today was the first day to unpack and the mess is still here. I think it's going to last awhile.

My fish died today. As sad as I am that my fish is gone, it was even sadder that my niece was there when I found him. She learned today that everything dies and then you can never see them again, and she extremely sad for a long while. Her dad finally convinced her that we had to flush my fish down the toilet, but it took a long while. I am going to miss my poor fish.

Bye bye Napoleon.

A Slight Case of the Back-Home Blues.

feeling just a little blue,
ladies imma miss you two...


i know we'll only be apart for the summer.
but trust me, it'll still be a bummer.


this is what happens when you've got awesome friends,
love, sincerely, N.C.N. <3

End of the line

So, I am the last one left. JukeBox moved out and so did No-common-name. The apartment is empty, the building is empty, the school is empty. It's a much weirder and sadder feeling than being here alone at the beginning of the year, but then again I just finished saying good bye to a lot of good friends who graduated so I might just be in a nostalgic kind of mood.

Another thing that makes me sad is the amount of stuff I still have left to do. Between work and graduation and then graduation celebration I have not yet finished packing up my stuff or grading finals. I have one last long haul ahead of me, then I'm off to my home to sleep for a million years.

All in all, it was a good school year. Here's to you UCR.

Finals Week Day 110 (6 in Binary)

So I'm officially done with the 09-10 school year. She-who-is-STILL-without-a-name took her last final yesterday and alphabits will be done later tonight. There is nothing left to do but pack and clean...but I'm a little hesitant to do either. Instead I'm just sitting here at my computer...in denial. Did I really just finish my second year of college? It hasn't sunk in yet. I'm looking forward to all the lazy times this summer will bring. However, I have to say I'm going to miss being in this room fighting to keep my eyes open whilst attempting to finish some homework assignment. NOT. I'll definitely miss living with my friends though.
Well, I'll just have to live it up while I'm still at school. Yogurtland at midnight and maybe a trip to the Botanical Gardens sounds like fun. Finally. I can have some fun without being intoxicated hahaha I'm just playing.

On a completely different note, the World Cup starts tomorrow....AAHH!!!
Also, there's a lot of good music coming out soon. The new Juanes song is really catchy, Rooney just released my summer soundtrack, Maroon 5 and Ludo are both releasing CDs later this summer, and I've heard of a few other bands getting back in the studio. Awesome. I can't wait. Hmmm...I have a feeling this summer won't be so bad after all.

"Well, he's kind of had it in for me ever since I accidentally ran over his dog. Actually, replace 'accidentally' with 'repeatedly' and replace 'dog' with 'son.'"

Finals Day 4

Despite our best efforts we've hit quite a few snags on the focus train to good grades, as evident by the fact that my paper remains unfinished, JukeBox has only managed to make flashcards and not study them, and she-who-cannot had a mental breakdown over a bottle of 5 hour energy drink. This last actually merits an explanation, as it may serve as a cautionary tale for energy junkies out there:

So last night at around midnight she-who-cannot took a 5 hour energy drink after having downed quite a bit of coffee throughout the day from the Coffee Bean on campus. She didn't even need to stay up that late, and so ended up not sleeping most of the night, except between the hours of 5 and 10 in the morning. Then at lunch she had more iced coffee and proceeded to study and all was good. Sometime during the day she had another 5 hour energy unbeknownst JB and I, and there might not have been any problems, except that at around 8 the stuff that had fueling her all day ran dry. I heard her and JB talking and decided to investigate, and what should I find but she-who-cannot, prostrate on JB's bed with glazed eyes and nonsensical words coming out of her mouth. Upon questioning she informed us she planned to take yet another 5 hour energy, and maybe even a Monster to top it off. Fearing for her health JB and I chased her to her room and cornered her, where she proceeded to stuff the bottle down her shirt first, then down her pants, and then wave at us in the universal "can you not?" hand motion(ok, it's not universal now, but it will be; basically a wax on, wax off motion of the hand). It's sad to see a friend hung up on unhealthy substances, but she needs it to study for chem, so in the end we allowed it...or, actually, she tricked us into allowing it. All is well right now, but I fear for when she's all done with finals and finally falls asleep.

Like I said, the whole finals thing is not going well. It did not at all help that today was my birthday, and between accepting birthday greetings, talking to the family,and having she-who-cannot rap birthday songs at me, not much was done. Ah well, it was a pretty good birthday all around...feels weird to be 20. Now maybe I'll be as awkward as JukeBox.

Finals Week Day 3

2 finals down and one to go!!! I can't wait until all of this is over...then I get to enjoy my summer paradise...for a week. Yesterday I was trying really hard to study for physics. However, I ended up watching Donnie Darko and Being John Malkovich on Netflix. The latter has to be one of the weirdest movies I have EVER seen in my life. Yes, it's even weirder than Donnie Darko. I just wish I hadn't discovered Netflix until after finals. I don't think whoever invented it realizes that I have enough distractions in my life already. For example, this past Friday I was just about ready to buckle down and study hardcore for my Saturday morning final. Then, just as I'm walking into ENGR2, I run into HIM again. sigh. That put me off studying for longer than I care to admit. Then Netflix comes along and throws off my studying groove once more. My last final isn't until Thursday. I shudder to think what "distraction" I'll have to fight off next. I have to be strong.

So, since I'm JukeBox and all I thought It'd be cool for me to post a song and/or video with each post I make. This time I'm posting the song Head Over Heels by Tears For Fears because it's been in my head ever since I saw Donnie Darko. Enjoy lol.


"The Soviet Union? I thought you guys broke up...?"
"That's what we wanted you to think!"

Finals Day 2

It's Sunday today which means technically there were no finals, but that also means that the day should have been spent completely immersed in studying, ie trying to cram everything we've learned and heard over the past 10 weeks back into our brains. It was not happening today, at least not with me. I have failed at the whole studying aspect of finals week thus far. However at this point I'm so tired of school I hardly care. But enough on that...

Actually, I'll give a brief overview of my day, since I'm just that self-centered. I spent 3 hours at church attending a baptismal seminar because I'm going to be a godparent this summer. By the end of it I felt like a godless heathen, given that I am taking on the responsibility for this baby's spiritual life and I haven't been to church in forever and a day. Ick. Then I pretended to work on my paper for many hours all whilst eating delicious grilled hamburgers.
*NOTE* If you've never had hamburgers with the cheese on the inside, you haven't lived
At work it was no better. I proceeded to distract others from their own studies, and then YouTube got involved somehow and so the day was an academic waste.

I was not alone in my lack of focus though. Upon returning to the apartment I found she-who-cannot studying with our good friend who will be called Moomoo for now. They were trying really hard to focus on psychology, but various distractions have prevented them from finishing the study guide. Here are some highlights:

People-
As soon as I walked into the apartment they didn't stand a chance. I am too damn distracting. It was even worse because I brought ManOverboard with me, who excels at distraction. Through various conversations and dirty boy-jokes we've drawn out the study process by at least 2 hours.

The Neighbors-
The people who live upstairs are at the epitome of annoyance right now, so we did the old lady thing and banged on the ceiling with a broom. They retaliated by stomping on the floor, so now I think we've begun a feud. Awesome, I've been wanting to throw it down with those bitches all year. Thin walls make fast enemies.

The Naming Process-
So we have a roommate(she-who-cannot, JukeBox, and I) who we all really don't like. She's an awful roommate, a bitchy person, and she's really loud and obnoxious. We've been trying to think of pseudonyms for the blog(we want our identities semi-unknown for whatever reason) and so we were brainstorming names for the people in our collective lives. Naturally all the names we came up for aforementioned roomie are terrible, and if she ever found out she would hate us...hmm, we should really think about what we decide to post...anyway, here are a few of the names we thought up for her:

BitchFace
CC(community college-because anyone can get in)
WithLegsWideOpen
Little Miss Moansalot
She-Who-Moans
Bud
DoorKnob(because everybody gets a turn)

They don't get any better after that.

However, we are also still searching for a nom de plume for she-who-cannot. The process is much more difficult than we would've thought. Her essence as a person isn't easily summed up with clever word combinations( I think they're sort of clever anyway), and I tell her she should take it as a compliment. Although it makes it really annoying to write about her. I believe that this whole naming process can be a real journey of self discovery for her....yeah, not really.

There was more, but I'm tired and you(if YOU are out there) are probably tired of me. I don't know what JukeBox did today, but I did get a text from her lamenting the double standards her parents impose on her as far as boys go...as far as everything goes really. Just because she's a girl she's expected to do nothing whilst in college. I can see how that'd be bothersome.

To end here's to hoping I get some of my paper done tomorrow. Go finals week!

Thanks to JukeBox I now have the above song stuck in my head. It's a fitting song I guess since finals week makes everyone and their mother stressed out, especially she-who-cannot-be-named-because-she-doesn't-have-a-name-yet. The aforementioned stressee has now gone to her room to study the oh so dreaded anthropology and it seems just awful, because she isn't making any noise so I'm afraid she may pass out from anthro overload. I should be likewise as quiet and studious and yet I cannot bring myself to start the ten page paper which awaits me, so here I am posting on this brand new blog.
I forgot to ask JukeBox what a person is supposed to write about in a blog, but since she's gone now I'll just wing it. She can always get rid of this later, since she is the alpha and the omega as far as this blog is concerned. Computer stuff, music, and Simpsons references are all JukeBox, gay stuff, gangster stuff, obsessiveness, and makeup are all covered by she-who-cannot-be-named. I suppose this leaves me with whatever is left over, but all I really know about is the not as exciting stuff like books and writing.

When you write a blog, are you writing to someone or for someone? I don't really get it and this whole thing is sort of awkward. Not as awkward as JukeBox, but pretty dang close. I think we're supposed to write about normal stuff that happens when we aren't asleep, as this is just the text format of a much larger project(look, I'm foreshadowing), so I'll sign off with a quote, courtesy of she-who-cannot...

"I'll keep studying until I cannot know more"

(say this out loud and you'll understand why it made no sense at the time of speaking)
