Did someone say Friday? I'm sure someone, somewhere did at some point (If you didn't get that, don't worry, only a select few will.) Yes, it is Friday, which can only mean one thing, The Friday Five:
1. What is one thing you don't like about your body?
-I do NOT like my hips. They are "child-bearing" hips and I am sure that in the future that will be something I am grateful for, but now, they just make my butt and thighs look bigger.
2. What are two things you love about your body?
-I LOVE LOVE LOVE my hair. I used to absolutly hate being a redhead because it made me different from everyone else, now I love being a redhead because being different
is Great!
3. What are three things you want to change about your home?
-Well, my temporary residence is in Watterson Hall. Things I would change about Watterson:
1) My weirdo neighbors
2) The Crappy Elavators
3) "The Watterson Effect"
4. What are four books you want to read this year?
-Well, I just bought about 20 scripts that I had never read (I have seen some though), so I will probably start with those. Also, my favorite of all time, a book that I have read time and time again and will continue to read, The Great Gatsby.
5. What are five promises you have kept to yourself?
-One:I made myself a promise to be true, not just to myself, but to others; so far, so good.
Two:I have not let one horrible guy ruin my opinion of guys forever.
Um, Three:I have associated myself with more theatre majors, don't ask me why this was such a huge battle for me last semester, but it was.
Four:I have bonded with my family.
Five:I haven't had a major freakout about stress this semester.

-"It is wonderful to be here in the great state of Chicago"
People thought that Dan Quayle was dumb and made fun of him. If only we had known the wonders of G W.
Last night, MacGyver was once again in the Middle East, kicking the asses of "vengeful tribesmen" who were attacking a train full of passengers. If only people would turn to MacGyver, we would have been forewarned of the evil plans of the terrorists. I sure hope that tonight he will blow up Osama bin Laden's cave with a toothpick and some hair.
I loved this joke, I thought it was hysterical:
Two bored casino dealers were waiting at a craps table. A very attractive blonde woman arrived and bet twenty thousand dollars on a single roll of the dice. She said, "I hope you don't mind, but I feel much luckier when I'm completely nude." With that she stripped from her neck down, rolled the dice and yelled, "Mama needs new clothes!" Then she hollered..."YES! YES! I WON! I WON!" She jumped up and down and hugged each of the dealers. She then picked up all the money and clothes and quickly departed. The dealers just stared at each other dumbfounded. Finally, one of them asked, "What did she roll?" The other answered, "I don't know, I thought YOU were watching!"
Moral: Not all blondes are dumb, but all men are men.
I'm so tired right now, it's ridiculous! It's been a really long, draining day. "Well, Laurie, if you're so tired, you should take a nap." Thank you for the advice, reader, but I can't take a nap because I have to go to my psych lecture. Possibly the most boring class in the world. But it's alright because tomorrow I have no horribly bad classes. Theatre Ed, which is full of wonderfully fantastic people, and French. My teacher's very amusing, well he tries to be anyways. I signed up for my hours for Stagecraft today. I'm working on Forum! It should be fun though, great cast and crew, so I'll be surround by people that I thoroughly enjoy.

I decided to be lazy with my entry today. I am just going to quote some quotes that I found humerous, insperational, or touching. Here goes:
-"Twenty years from now you will be more dissappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade wind in your sails. Explore. Dream." ~Mark Twain
-"Nothing's final until you're dead. And even then I'm sure God negotiates." ~Ever After
-"Wherever you are, act like that's the place to be. Isn't this GREAT?!?" ~Fast Times at Ridgemont High
-"The truth is more important than the facts." ~Frank Lloyd Wright
-"It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
-"No one lasts forever being an asshole. Sure you get things, but only because you stepped on people. I'd rather have people admire me than fear me. I know those words are extreme, but it's like the difference between a super hero and a super villain. They're both powerful, but everyone likes and supports the hero." ~Swizzle Tree
-"Well, there are some things a man just can't run away from." ~Stagecoach

The Friday Five:
1. Where do you currently work?
-I'm a bum, and I don't work. I hope to ride the laziness train as long as possible.
2. How many other jobs have you had and where?
-Woo-Wee! I've worked at MMc, the (infamous) Pool, Murphy Electric, and slave labor for multiple theaters.
3. What do you like best about your job?
-Hmmmm, I thought we covered this....
4. What do you like least about your job?
-Are you even reading my prior responses?!?! I do NOT have a job!
5. What is your dream job?
-At this point, any job would be fine. Argh! I need a job.

Day two of classes is over! My roomie strolled in at 3 AM last night. Doesn't matter anyways, I wasn't sleeping very well anyways. Overall, I'm pretty tired. I haven't been sleeping very well lately and I'm not sure why. Eh, I'll figure it out.
An excerpt from an actual instant message conversation between an unusual friend and I (For fear of being bombarded with Instant Messages, this friend chose to remain nameless):
Friend: I just have to figure out how to make money without a having a real job
Friend: But I have not figured that part of the equation out, so until I do, I remain.
Me: Have you thought about moving? Or is that not what you want to do?
Friend: Not yet. I want to stay in Bloomington a little longer and milk it for all I can until there's no more milk and/or I am constipated from all of the dairy.
Me: I don't follow
Me: (I'm pretending I don't get metaphors today.)
Friend: Okay.
Friend: So pretend that Bloomington-Normal is a giant teet. Filled with milk
Me: Bloomington's a city. I don't get it.
Friend: No.. no it's not. It's a teet.
Friend: A teety if that's easier for you to remember... it kinda rhymes with city. city= teety
Me: No, I'm pretty sure it's a geographical point where I live.
Friend: Okay. Yes. You are correct.... but did you know that underneath the large mass of land that you sit/stand/live on there resides a large breast?
Friend: All of our city is built on top of it. We built this city of rock n' roll and a breast. A very large breast.
Me: Really? Wow. Now that is interesting.
Friend: Yes.You didn't know that cause you're not from here originally and haven't taken the cave/breast tour.
Friend: So anyway.
Friend: I have found the nipple of this giant breast. I've been drinking from it---don't worry, it's sanitary.
Me: I can't believe you kept this from me!
Me: So there is a huge abundance of milk? Aren't you going to get constipated from drinking that much of it?
Friend: A huge amount of milk
Friend: Yes.. see, that's my point.
Me: You don't want to get constipated.
Friend: I'm plan to keep drinking from the breast that is under Bloomington until there is either A) no more milk or B) I become constipated. And at either point A) and/or B) I shall move away to find another breast to suckle.
Friend: I know that I went into great detail to give you my point, but I hope that you now understand.
Me: So there are more breasts like these underneath cities?
Me: Now is it just college towns? Or other cities too?
Friend: Every city has a large breast under it. Some breasts are larger than other... and some of them produce sour milk. It just depends on what nipple you feel like attaching to.
Friend: Our nation is just one giant rack of titties.

The People of Central/Southern Illinois: There's More to Illinois than Chicago
Being from "up north," I have seecretly been studying the people that are from, what they have named this place, Central/Southern Illinois. I have been watching them from afar, studying their way of life, clothing style, environment, interreactions, etc. I have decided to share my findings with you, my dear readers. They are an interesting species and I am hopeful that I will gain a great deal of knowledge from them. There are a few notable differences between them and us, including but not limited to, their ability to attend tractor pulls and actully watch intently, the suprising find that they do not have EMPIRE Carpets down here (and therefore they don't have the commercials), and the way they have one high school for multiple towns. While all of these observations on their way of life interested me a great deal, I will write about them at another time. Today, we will be talking about their environment. The creatures live in a land of farms. And the flat terrain causes strong winds to sweep o'er the plain. My cute little hat has blown off the top of my head many times. Actually, earlier today my hat was lifted from my head and carried across the quad. Only when Kenny Metrof caught it, did I get it back. Also, the climate in which these remarkable creatures reside is different. They are slightly warmer down here. One possible explanation is because they are closer to the equator, but I have not yet documented the cause of thier nice weather. In Chicago, we too have great winds. We too have large quantities of snow. And we too have days that make us feel all hot and tingly (and not in the good way). But, I regret to in form you, they have COLD down here, folks! You cannot imagine my surprise when I found that my "warm" coat did much less to shield me from their harsh winds than it did to sheild me from the sweeping winds of Chicago. Chicago weather is a peculiar thing. The climate fluxuates from extreme heat to biting cold and back into a heat wave again before the work day is done. Schools are cancelled because it is too cold one week and because it is too hot the next. Yes, my friends, my findings regarding the weather down here are perhaps the most interesting ones that I have found to date. Regardless, I will keep you posted on new observations, comments, and general concerns for their well-being.
