procrastination.

Just recently, I had to write an essay for english class (go 39B!). Of course, it was about a topic that i had no interest in and, well... it sucked. I had all weekend plus a few days (assigned Thursday, due Tuesday) but did I get started on Friday, Saturday or Sunday? Hell no.
So Monday dawns and sets and does any work get done on it? Nope. It isn't until 7:00 PM that I even open word and copy my thesis statement from my outline. Shameful! By the time I've finished, I've gone to the bathroom five times, walked around the hall a half a dozen, and watched Ben work on his wrestler on his PS2 until my back ached. The ending bell rang at 1:45 AM and all was done.

Whats the moral of this story? DONT PROCRASTINATE EVER, YOU LAZY BASTARD!!! tee hee... I guess this is a lesson to all of you hs seniors to get your shit together when you get to college. Also, michelle, jasmine, isa and brian's singing didnt help either, but that was the least of my problems :)

speaking of college... my reccomendation to neophytes is not to dorm! An apartment will provide an environment much more conducive to studying. Its not like im having a bad time here, in fact i love our hall, but projects and essays never get done ahead of time... procrastination is the motto here and thats not very good when you have to write 7 pgs!

Alright, im done. Love ya guys!

Off to see another Strong Bad Email... Homestarrunner Rocks!

blogging again? Oh My!

Yes, this is the second posting this week!!! AMAZING! Hell must have frozen over... no wonder its getting... cold ... in here, so put on all... your clothes...

damnit.

Well, lets see... what did I do today... After finishing my english essay at 1:45 AM the previous night, I took it easy getting to class, only to find that my paper (which I worked so hard on) was left back at harrowdale! I ran to the dorm and back in a record 8 minutes, roughly half the time that it takes me to walk, and to my dismay, I was met with scorn and the customary "school-marm" (go Allport! LoL) glare even after running the ardgerous Aldrich Park 2k. Too bad, screw her.

Other than that, we had a double feature at the Harrowdale Megaplex. We watched A Clockwork Orange and Orange County, the dual irony here being the reoccurance of oranges and our county of residence being of the orange kind... I enjoyed Orange County (and the quality of the rip was AWESOME... thanks DC++) and A Clockwork Orange was... well.... weird. But they were both fun diversions.

Hey wait! I almost forgot that both michelle and I (not michelle and me, lol) voted today... yay go voting! lol... Voting is pretty lame... but it gives me a license to bitch about all the shit that I didn't vote for that passes into law (hope not!)... so thats cool...

Im tired and maybe, for once, I can get to sleep before 1:30!! AMAZING!! More soon... maybe TOMORROW?!! You will find out soon, won't you?

Good Night!

So tired....

I'm so fricking tired.... First of all, this week has been hell as far as sleep is concerned... I got 12 hrs of sleep both days on the weekend and I've been going to bed around 11:30/12:01 am every day yet I am still exhausted. So last night, I asked Ben if we could get to bed around 11:00pm ish and he said sure... so we went to bed. About 6:00 am the next morning, I hear some pinging noises... I thought for sure I was still dreaming and that the pinging noises were coming from popcorn popping in our trashcan (yes it was that hot!) so I figured I was just hallucinating due to lack of sleep and went back to bed. The noises continued for about 10 minutes straight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I finally got my ass out of bed and opened the door, only to find Brian (the guy on the right) sitting in front of our door with about a half a dozen open cups of Maruchan Ramen. WTF is his problem?

After that, it was nearly dawn and the fecking crow was back (like he is every morning) and guess what he was doing? Cawing his fscking head off!!! I thought I was going to die. Thankfully, Ben had the strength to close the windows which made everything better... until about 9:00am when the heat (about 95 F outside) got to us and we had to open the windows again. Then, as if what had happened previously wasn't enough, the garbage collectors were lifting the heavy trash bins outside... making a *cur-PLUNK-weee-click-whir-BOOM* noise.... needless to say, sleep is not kind to me.

My plan is to get some ear-plugs and maybe electrify my door.... say 50,000 volts?

more later...

[(o_O)] Aliens from OUTER SPACE?!

heh. nice title, eh? Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with this posting, but it's pretty damn catchy or as others might say, Beaver Dam Skippy.

I'm so tired of hearing people say and saying "lol" in chatrooms. (If you don't know what lol means, then you don't deserve to be reading this, so leave.... now.) I guess I have no beef about the word (is it really a word?) "lol", but its usage is what drives me nuts. Most people will use it as their knee-jerk reaction to things, i.e.:
(The screennames have been hidden for the spealer's protection)

aznStarR1eGurL1509335: sup
bradman02: nuttin, u?
aznStarR1eGurL1509335: nothing
bradman02: great
aznStarR1eGurL1509335: lol

See what I'm saying? People say "lol" for no reason at all! Was bradcom02's, err... bradman02's statement, "great", really funny? The word "lol" has been used so much in common internet slang that we have been desensitized to it's meaning. SICKENING! So, from now on, I propose that everyone replace lol with hee hee, haha or har har, maybe even the good ol' tee hee. I pledge that from this day forward I will not say lol in a conversation again! Guaranteed! In fact, if you see me saying (in a chat conversation) the dreaded "lol" (in lowercase, not uppercase seeing as LOL has a different connotation and so does LoL), I will pay you $5*. Sounds fair?

*$5 dollars refers to 5.00 US Dollars. You thought that I'd try to screw you over, didnt you?! Har Har!

Well I better be off to Wr39b, the dreaded english class.

On "Hello World" Tomorrow, "Attack of the T.T.Y.L!"
