Oh. My. God. You HAVE to play this.

Do it on steroids and it's practically an olympic sport!

I don't know whether this is cruel or cool. But it's penguins either way.

I almost want to make the "Snappy Mackerel Casserole"....Well, maybe not, but I did almost pee in my pants from laughing so hard.

So...I've decided to give up murder for Lent.


I adore Peter! We were driving home on Wednesday and passed "Peter's Party Supplies." This conversation followed:
Me: "Look, Peter! You have a Store!"
Peter: "That's more than you have."
Me: "Uh! I have a Brand of Electronics!" (Sharp)
Peter: "And an adjective."

-Well, I've been home for a little while, and I just realized that it sucks when you want to call people randomly at like midnight to go out, but you can’t call their house because their parents will probably get mad. This is where the "cell phone love/hate paradox" comes in: When you're at school, everyone with a cell phone really starts to annoy you, but as soon as you get home, everyone WITHOUT a cell phone annoys you because you can't get in touch with them.

Sometime's you just feel like something's missing.

Hey kids! I don't think I can deprive you of this amazing coversation, during which I almost peed in my pants. We were both looking at the College Nicknames website and this conversation was the result:
Jen: Dude...you sympathize with the Banana Slugs, but not the Cotton Blossoms, the Demon Deacons (What the hell??), the Dirtbags, Geoducks-(pronounced GOO-ee-ducks, not JEE-oh-ducks)", OMG, I just saw that the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology are the Hardrockers.
Laurie: Well, I only got as far as Banana Slugs. You'd think that these would be reasons to not go to these schools.
Jen: No kidding. HaHa!! Arkansas Tech's the Wonder Boys
Jen: I think I'm gonna have to book mark this...it makes me feel better about myself!
Laurie: There are fewer wildcats than one would think. There's only about 20.
Jen: There are also more Hustlin' Quakers than one would think...meaning one
Laurie: Mmmm-The Colby College White Mules
Laurie: I bet that strikes fear into the heart of the competition. Look Out! It's the WHITE MULES!!!
Jen: I think that the Volunteers are much more threatening.
Laurie: The Sweet Briar College Vixens
Laurie: Can they do that??
Jen: I guess so.
Laurie: That's like sexual harrasment or something
Jen: I like all of the jesus-god schools getting all religious with they bad selves
Laurie: Getting religious with ones bad self is the best way to guarantee admittance into heaven, where our lord and savior Jesus Christ dwells
Jen: What's a "gorlok?"
Laurie: Maybe a typo? Though I'm not sure what it's a typo for
Jen: Okay, there is such a thing as "The College of Insurance" (They are the Turtles, by the way.)
Laurie: The College of Insurance Turtles, they're slow!!!
Laurie: The Marshall University Thundering Herd
Jen: Thundering Herd of what?
Laurie: Well, Fighting Thundering Herd, I suppose
Laurie: For what its worth Kentucky State's thorobreds better not be confused with Skidmore College's thoroughbreds
Jen: HAHA...Kentucky State can't spell!!
Laurie: Thats good for the school-Can't spell their mascot
Jen: Amherst Lord Jeffs!
Jen: Obviously some frat fuck took over the school
Laurie: That would be the coolest
Laurie: To take over the school and make you its mascot
Laurie: University of Baltimore are not just any old bees......They're the SUPER BEES!
Jen: Do they get capes?? I hope they do.
Laurie: Also, I hope that people dress in bee costumes like Dan Akroyd and dance around at games
Jen: What's a petrel? And why is it stormy?
Laurie: It's stormy cause that is more badass
Jen: Ok, I'll give it that
Laurie: I'm thinking if you are a petrel, you need all the help you can get in the badass department
Jen: Thomas Jefferson University Medics! They'll stop the game and fix you up right on the field!
Laurie: I really did just laugh out loud
Jen: I have been dying this whole time. I'm just glad my roommate is sitting at her desk so she can look at me funny
Jen: Uh oh!! Immaculata College stole the Mighty Macs!
Laurie: WHAT?? People know what a "Mac" is?? Cause I don't.
Jen: The Muleriders! I hope they dont play the White Mules!
Laurie: RISD Nads
Laurie: That just gave me the funniest image ever!
Jen: The Nads?!?! For real?
Laurie: Yeah...the Nads. For real.
Laurie: I thought of people making signs that say "Go Nads!!"
Jen: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! I can't breathe.

-Actually, Richard Nixon, they are.

Catholic School Girls

I went to see The Skriker tonight. And, if you get the chance...See it. It was very well done. There were a few costume choices that I would not have made, but there were others that I wouldn't have thought of in a million years. Overall, I enjoyed it.

Also, thank you to Courtney, who always knows exactly what I need to hear at all times. I am going to pass on one of her pearls of wisdom: "Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes we dont realize it."

"I feel safe in white because, deep down inside, I'm an angel."
-Ooookaaay, P-Diddy, whatever you say.

Seriously guys, let's stop the "big fat greek..." shit.

The End is in the Beginning and yet you go on.
-Endgame

"Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood."
-Oscar Wilde (Finally, a man who gets it!)

-I think it's awesome that you can check your e-mail on your cell phone now. But using IM? Sure, it's great to be able to send a quick message to your friend. Of course, it'd be easier if you had some sort of phone handy...

-My newest hobby is reading away messages. It's like stalking, but no one will know you are doing it. I even have people's names on my buddy list that I don't know, but I hear they have really good away messages.

-Almost everyone, at some point or another, quotes a song in their away message, but change the lyrics slightly to apply to what they're doing. Oh, I get it - it's been a hard day's night, but instead of just working like a dog, you're working like a dog - in the library! How galactically clever!

-Why my psych professor such a loser? If I claimed to understand human nature, I'd know the best way to get a raise, have a date every night, and be able to make anyone laugh or cry with a few choice words. Having a tool for a psych professor is like having a health teacher that smokes.

-In drinking games, one person wins and the other drinks. It's the only kind of game I've ever heard of that makes everybody happy.

Arrrrr! What a day!!!!

Every day

You meet a decision

Well, Mary Colleen, you found me. Touche, my friend, Touche! I guess you won this round. Here's a post dedicated to you:

bOb DiTtA: im a genious
bOb DiTtA: 4.0 here i come
Macomurph: ur such a genius u cant even spell genius right
-Proof that Mary Colleen is intelectually superior to some people (like Bob Ditta)

MC: "Ah, I just cracked my fingers."
Me: "All of them?"
MC: "No, just 2, if it was all of them, I would have been like, ‘Aaaahhhhhh!’"
-I think I missed something...I'm confused.

MC: “What do they put for eye color if the person is blind?”
Roz: “You still have eyes if you’re blind!”
-Mary Colleen and her roommate, Roz, after a discussion about what is put under “hair color” on a driver’s license of a bald man.

Rough day and Great night. Hated people after yesterday, didn't feel like dealing with anyone. Ended up auditioning, then coming back here and finishing my curriculum project for Cyndee Brown's class, then went to Cash's with Moira, then coming back here and eating pizza with Moira and Mary Pat in Mary Pat's room. All in all, the day ended on a positive note.

I was observing, as I normally do, some people in class today. I thought that you might be interested in some of my findings:

-Ok, guys, I'm gonna let you in on a little secret that I thought you all knew, but apparently don't. Girls are all part of a vast network of spies. When a guy likes a girl, his friends might mention if they saw her talking to another guy. When a girl has a crush on someone, her friends memorize his class schedule, know where he ate lunch, and call her every time they see someone who has the same jacket.

-This one is from Someone else: Being sick in the winter is tough on looks - everyone is bundled up, people put on a few pounds, they are congested, and they all get really pale. If you think someone still looks good when they are sick during the winter, marry them before the weather gets warm again and you miss your chance.

-So, I have to know, what is the deal with boys and the "z" language? Everyone is a bizatch, some people are the shiznit, and sometimes we even go to a piz-arty. It sounds incredibly familiar, kind of like when you were six and discovered pig latin and you and all your friends used it because you thought you were cool like that. And my mom told me in college boys will be more mature. Riz-ight.

-God had to know what he was doing when he made pot smell so strongly. Imagine if this were true for other illegal things. "Hey, do you smell armed robbery?" "Yeah. It's the guy at the end of the hall." "Man, I hate that guy. The least he can do when he's stealing things is close his damn door."

-I think we overestimate how much boys care about a girl's fashion sense. Guys only have three set rules on what a girl should wear. It's gotta be tight, it's gotta be short, and invisible is cool too. Also, there seems to be a direct ratio between how little a girl wears and how hot she looks. Why doesn't this work for guys too? He can be as hot as he wants, but somehow a dude in a tube top and daisy dukes isn't much of a turn-on.

-It was cool to be sick in grammar school. All you had to do to get some guilt-free time off was convince your mom that your temperature IS actually 105 and no, it has nothing to do with the halogen lamp by your bed. Somehow in college it's not nearly as fun to convince yourself that you really need to miss class. I guess it loses something when you try it every day. And that is number one worst thing about being sick at school: your mom is nowhere to be found. When I decided that I wanted soup, I had to go downstairs and make it myself! While you're sick, there should be no such thing as a do-it-yourself activity. In efforts to make myself feel better, I made a point of calling home every day to get in my daily dose of, "Mooooommmmm, I don't feel goooood."

Ummmm, first things first: I love my parents! They sent me tons of cash and a really cute pajama set and an aromatherapy kit for Valentine's Day!!! Also, because I had Forum on the 19th of April, the day before Easter, I would not be able to make it to Easter Brunch at Midlothian. So, my parents decided to come down at like 4, take me out to dinner, then see the show, wait for me to be done with my running crew stuff, then bring me home with them. I wish I could make it to the after parties, but I would be devastated to miss Easter. My parents bought tickets to the show and are coming closing night. I just thought that was really cute.

-Another conversation between my friend and I this morning:
Laurie: Ummm, you may be getting a package in the mail.
Friend: Oh, really?!?! What is it?!?!
Laurie: I don't know.....But if it says Trojan on it, I had NOTHING to do with it.
Friend: It's things like that that really make me value our friendship.

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!
