Bits and pieces of a conversation between Mary Colleen and I this morning:
Laurie: I hate Valentine's Day...It's just another holiday all about getting drunk and feeling bad for yourself!
MC: Is there any holiday that isn't about getting drunk and feeling bad for yourself?
Laurie: Arbor Day...That one's about the trees.
Later in the same conversation:
MC: We should just go lesbian.
Laurie: Ok, but can we still get with guys?
MC: Of course! I don't want to kiss you!
Laurie: Yes you do...You love me!

Valentine's Day in college is a little easier than it was in high school. No one wants to be alone, and everyone has alcohol.
Well, my Internet Explorer is still being ridiculous, mais c'est la vie. I will try to write to my dear readers as often as I can until my computer is mended. In the meanwhile, I've been pretty boring. My roommate is missing me cause I've disappeared lately. I've just been busy doing nothing in particular. Lisa, wait until Forum when you won't see me for weeks at a time. And while we're on the subject...if you didn't sleep at Tim's every night, we would probably have more "roommate time." How would that make you feel? (I tossed the mic.) Ok, back to everyone else...why do we have Valentine's Day?!?! It's insane! I see no reason for it. Besides Valentine's Day, what's going on this weekend? If anyone's interested in seeing The Vagina Monologues, I think I'm going on Sat. My guess is it's just going to be a bunch of gals sittin' around talkin' 'bout 'ginas. Friday, I have no idea what I'm doing...Sorry Lis, we can't all be shackers. I'm tired and need to nap before I study French. Au Revoir!

It's gonna be a boring day today. Went to Thom's for Becky's birthday last night with Cassie and Jon. Played a few games of asshole, was the asshole like 3 times, until Castro took the title. Had a few drinks, left feeling pretty damn good. Got home around 3:15, Lisa got home about 3:30. We stayed up talking about everything until about 4, then we both passed out. All in all, an interesting night. Tonight, spending time with Lindsey and Erin! I am super-excited (Erin rocks my world!) Probably gonna stop by Theater of Ted. Eh, who knows?

Who can read the mind of a red-headed girl next door,
or a taxi driver who dropped you off,
or the classmate that you ignore?
Don't assume what you get is what you see
'cause that classmate just lost her mother
and that taxi driver's got a PhD.
I'm tired of fear that weighs us down with wrong assumptions
of broken hearts, a natural function.
So you can see my bra underneath my shirt,
Watch the wind underneath my skirt,
but that ain't the picture, it's just a part.
Everybody's got a story that could break your heart.
Please, see my eyes, don't see what I see.
Touch my tongue, don't know what tastes good to me.
It's the human condition that keeps us apart.
And everybody's got a story that could break your heart.
*Thanks Mo and 'Lisha...this poem really opened my eyes. You'll never know how sorry I am. I love you both very much.

And now, it's time for tonight's Friday Five:
1. What did you have for breakfast this morning? If you didn't have breakfast, why not?
-I don't eat breakfast, I value sleep too much.
2. What's your favorite cereal?
-It's probably Alphabits...because it teaches you to read as you enjoy the most important meal of the day.
3. How often do you eat out? Do you want that to change?
-This question is too hard to answer, because technically, everytime I eat, I am eating out. I could go based on when I am home, but when I'm home, I meet friends for dinner all the time, so even that would be a tainted answer.
4. What do you plan on having for dinner tonight? Got a recipe for that?
-I had pizza from Chatters and 4 crackers with peanut butter on them. I think the recipe is pretty self-explanitory.
5. What's your favorite restaurant? Why?
-Definetly The Noodle Company. It's comparable to Panera, Panera has many different kinds of bread being served many different kinds of ways. Think of that with noodles!!!

Je ne sais pas.
Has anyone else noticed that the Nite Ride drivers have this cute little wave that they do as they pass each other? I was amazed! In Chicago, the drivers don't even acknowledge each other, let alone wave. I just think it adds a little something to the ride.
-Ok, so last night was a really clear night, the first one we've had in awhile. Since Lisa sleeps at Tim's most nights, I have no one to stop me from doing dumb things anymore. I always sleep with the window open. Ok, so last night was a really clear night, the first one we've had in awhile. I decided it would be nice to fall asleep with the drapes open so I could, for lack of a better word, stargaze. BAD IDEA! I woke up at 5:45 this morning with the sun in my eyes. I was not a happy camper. Luckily I did not have Theatre Ed this morning, so I had an extra hour that I could sleep. I promptly closed the drapes and went back to sleep. It was pretty rough.

And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, tonight's Friday Five:
1. As a child, who was your favorite superhero/heroine? Why?
-My favorite super person was She-Ra. She kicked ASS!! As He-Man's half-sister, she too, had the super powers and super strength, but she was much less macho.
2. What was one thing you always wanted as a child but never got?
-I always wanted a kite. Ever since I was a really little kid, and I saw Mary Poppins, I wanted one. But not a cheap, plastic one, but a real wood and cloth one. Never happened.
3. What's the furthest from home you've been?
-New York and DisneyLand were the farthest I've ever been while away from my family (Mary Colleen, you don't count).
4. What's one thing you've always wanted to learn but haven't yet?
-If I really want to know how to do something or know about something, I usually make it a point to learn it. But.....I've always wanted to be able to wink with my left eye. I know it sounds stupid, but I can't do it and it drives me nuts.
5. What are your plans for the weekend?
-I can not stress enough how much I don't have plans! Call me.....

Have you ever had one of those days? I think that I'm having one of those semesters.
It's been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day!
"This was something new. I mean, I always figured girls knew exactly what they wanted. They knew; they had a plan. Or maybe they didn't. Maybe they were just as confused as we were. Isn't that great? It--it's horrible. They don't know either. That means nobody knows."

I think some things are much better when you can't understand them. Like spanish infomercials.
Eh, connections at 4, then a meeting about the Pontiac thing, then probably go to Improv Mafia. I'll probably write again later.

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.
