A Tale of Two Biddies

Sorry to leave you hanging guys and dolls, my weeks have been quite consumed lately, between prepping for Halloween (I know, I'm super late!), showcase rehearsal, Glee, the occasional Bio Club, and Biddie watching, I've been all over the place! But don't think I haven't been missin' ya. So, to the point. First off, let me begin (as Dr. Maxwell taught us) by the defining of terms, namely:

Biddie (bid-eeee) noun: a biddie, while difficult to define accurately while avoiding confusion, is a college age female who falls under some, most, or all of these descriptions.
-often short/petite
-gullible, easily tricked
-wears spandex pants, a miniskirt barely covering the vag, or anything from American Apparel
-footwear consists of Uggs, boots with fur on them, heels, or some combination of the three
-enjoys Biddie Songs (Low by Flo Rida ft. T-pain, Shake That by Eminem ft. Nate Dogg, etc)
-at least 80% of their facebook pictures would render them unemployable if leaked
-does not remember the last weekend that did not involve a hangover
-dreams of being a woman from Desperate Housewives
-Smirnoff Ice = ideal pregame
-"so what's your major?" is absolutely a legit pickup line
-wakes up in weird places
-the purpose of the bathroom/kitchen sink is obviously as a courtesy for you when you get sick

So now that you've got that, I may begin.

The freshman who live in my hall are biddies. That's what I concluded within the first week of seeing their weekend outfits and hearing them tell each other about their weekend escapades and listen to them complain about how they're so done with wearing anything but sweatpants to college. Biddies, the lot of them. Dirty ones too. If our cleaning ladies from last year were here lets just say they would have stopped cleaning our bathroom weeks ago (they're not our maids ya know!) Anyway, I basically just relentlessly make fun of said biddies. However, I have to work in close proximity with them for something and had to hold a meeting with them yesterday. So, since Karma and I have an agreement (I try and be a nice person, she sometimes tries a little less hard when ruining my life) I decided to go into this meeting with an open mind, judgement-free, since all my judging had been done from afar. Fine. I go down to this meeting and ask for suggestions for our community parade float (this years theme is 'Wild Wild West' - laaaaaame! but that's another story). First suggestion? 'Wild Wild West Coast.' Like, Katy Perry style.

Really?

Let it be known that sometimes first impressions are much more accurate than one would think. But okay, only one comment, it could be a coincidence right? Don't be too hasty Krysti, you say. Well that, my blog-reading friends (if there are any of you left after my hiatus) is where you are wrong. Naught but a few seconds later: "Are there any booooys doing this float?"

Goddamn it kids.

Basically, my faith in the incoming freshman- who I made an attempt to give a second, actual chance to. Even karma can't argue, I did my research this time.

God, I'm so tired and have nothing to say, I just really wanted to use that blog title. Sorry guys, I'll give you some things to think about in the meantime.......

All men should read this.

People who are interesting might like this.

People who feel guilty about stealing music might appreciate this.

And some recent pictures from a weekend jaunt to the Renn Faire....

Chivalry is not dead, in fact it's quite alive and lookin' fiiiiine.





What do you call a woman with a Turkey Leg?

Don't worry, they're non-alcoholic. It's not Tuesday just yet...

I'm Sorry, I Love You, I Know I Never Write...

I'll post something good.

I promise.

Just....later.....<3<3<3<3


Feedback's always nice though, as are formspring questions. They get the creative blog-juices flowing....

So, This Campus is Basically Hollywood

Here are two more celebs I saw during my travels today....

Black Power Ranger: Basically this confirmed that the Power Rangers have a secret base somewhere on campus. There's no other explanation for the sighting of three of them within a week. Some evil must be afoot here. Hopefully they take on Dining Services, because as far as I'm concerned, that's the greatest evil going on around here.

Goyle (A Very Potter Musical): First off, if you haven't watched already, DO IT. Secondly, swear to wizard-god that he's in my Botany class, all 8 feet of him.

Speaking of the wonderful production AVPM' I would like to pass on one of the most valuable things I have learned in college, possibly ever (sorry to everyone I talked to a million times about this already, but I'm still high on life about it). TRY NEW THINGS. Whenever you can in life, but college is the ideal place to do something you've always wanted to, something you never had the guts to do in high school, something you never felt like you could break into for whatever reason. Well kids, all that's been drop-kicked out the window! I cannot think of anything more liberating that doing something you've though about doing and chickened out of so many times. As codename Esmeralda recently told me "Is there some reason you can't do it? Then do it!" True dat girl, those gypsy-type are so wise :) But in all reality, one of my biggest weaknesses is that I won't go for something without the validation of others, which sucks, because someone else's opinion of you should never stop you from doing what you love. I don't care if you can't sing a note, if you love to do it, find an empty laundry room somewhere and freakin' belt it out. Do what you love, and fuck the rest. Do what you've always wanted to and throw inhibition to the wind, whatever your age, where ever you might be on the road of life (NOTE: if your dream is to set the world record for LSD taken in one sitting, be a serial killer, or set yourself on fire, please disregard this post). It's the most incredible high you can ever imagine, whether you succeed or not. DO IT.

And on that note: 

(as if I couldn't think he was any more adorable....compliments of Esmeralda, thanks Ezzie!)

 

Spotted Around Campus/As Told By Graphs

Spotted Around Campus:



Literally taken as I sit here writing this.


ME! So, several reports have come in over the past few days that my doppelganger is also running around campus. And since at least two people have said hello to her as me, I'm assuming she's a bit confused. Bitch better get a new look, this ones taken. However, until this problem is resolved, rule of thumb: if you can hear her before you see her, it's me.

Emma Pilsbury (Glee): Maybe it was because she was wearing a dress that looks just like the one Emma is wearing here, or her bubbly, cute personality, but I swear my math professor (who is super nice) reminds me of Emma

Velma (Scooby Doo): Jinkies! Although the two don't look alike, they share an affinity for losing glasses. Whether it be playing Wink on the quad or being plowed down during CTF. Diehmers, three guesses. Honey B, you get one. Frequently seen hanging out with Shaggy, ironically enough.




And, to get everyone into a Halloween spirit, some graphs pertaining to my costume theme this year (first time not cross-dressing in 5 years!!!)

I Swear, I Haven't Died

o here's a quick mishmash of things to keep you occupied because I haven't posted anything recently:

Overheard on campus:

"....You're not paying come to school to give guys p***y, you're paying to go to class....abstinence...." Classy, UD, classy.

Spotted On Campus:

Every one's favorite musical traveling companion trekking across the quad....that's right! Harmonica boy is back this semester, and car-less so I hear, so looks like no more carpooling for me. What the heck do I write about now?!

At the VMAs (in keeping with my prepositionally phrased headings...)

Yes, she wore meat, no I don't condone you wearing cold cuts around campus any day, but yes I still freaking love the woman to death. Not to mention she won 8 freaking VMAs. Waddya have to say about that Kanye?! So, in celebration: some new Gaga off her upcoming album EDIT: Some Gaga you might not have ever heard that may or may not be from her new album (title officially announced at the VMAs) Born This Way. Stay chill lil monsters (ignore the weird fan-made video, just listen to the music).



Oh, and this one always makes me laugh..."FRISBEEE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

Spotted Around Campus

So, as you all might be hoping, a new year means new Celeb sightings. It's been tricky this year, they're harder to spot for some reason, but I've gathered a few for you all to enjoy.

Johnny Depp: although the guy I spotted was marginally less attractive than the real deal, he was a cutie, and rockin' very JD-esque aviator sunglasses. And he was studin' his little butt off in front of the education building. Which are two key signs that he can't be that bad a guy. No Johnny, but who is?

 Ash Katchem: Yes the notorious Pokemon trainer extraordinaire is apparently a science major here. Spotted roaming the bio wing sporting Ash's signature cap (which I kind of really want...sad? Nah)

Dominic Monaghan: He must have come straight off the 'Love the Way You Lie' set to come back to teach here, or maybe it's his dad. Either way, I swear my Botany professor looks oddly like him. But, like in the case of Johnny, nowhere near as attractive (CRHS grads don't worry, I learned my lesson!!)

Blue and Red Rangers: Not spotted together (in fact, Red is the same guy as Ash) but within two days I've already spotted two of the Power Rangers team who are apparently students here. I guess there really is nothing to fear when danger (mostly in the form of gas leaks, snow, or down campus-email) is near.






I'll keep my eyes peeled for any famous faces strolling across the quad but until then, don't forget to submit any celebs you might see on your campus!! Peace out cub scouts!

This Was Legit In Urban Dictionary....

Krysti (noun)

a) A rad girl whose parents can't spell. Always has your back. b) Someone who has pet peeves about little things like tapping feet.

Everyone wants to be friends with her. She's such a krysti.


Better stop clicking your nails, or I'm gonna get all krysti on you.

As Told By Graphs

I will say I know several people who would fall into the green and blue sections. And believe me I'd love to say I'd get all BAMFed up and be in the green section, but I'm pretty slow, so...

And don't ask me what it is about me and zombies of late. Maybe its the onslaught of this year's Zombie Game?

Feelings You Just Can't Beat

• The feeling of assurance you get when you finally realize a decision that you were super on the fence about just feels right
• The feeling of reaching a save portal in every video game ever
• The feeling of finishing your last class on a Thursday (or, for you non-education majors, a Friday)
• The feeling of walking around holding a pack of candy cigarettes and pretending they're real and then fooling people. (See, I imagine holding the real deal would feel more shameful than cool, which is why I prefer the fakes)
• The feeling of getting a text from someone you were just thinking about and knowing they were just thinking about you too
• The feeling of your iPod shuffle being so right-on with your current mood that you wonder what magic spell Steve Jobs puts on those things
• The feeling of anticipation before Halloween
• The feeling of a warm sea breeze on your face, knowing it's the last time you'll feel it in awhile
• The feeling of walking somewhere and running into everyone you know
• The feeling of walking somewhere new where no one knows you
• The feeling of someone right before you making the super-insightful comment you were about to make
• The feeling of not knowing a single answer on a test
• The feeling of knowing every answer on a test
• The feeling of the last check on a seemingly impossible ToDo list
• The feeling of a hug
• The feeling of waking up knowing that it's pouring outside, you've got homework to finish, and a class until late in the night
• The feeling of your stomach dropping when you miss that step
• The feeling of panic every time you walk into your classes on the first day and think its the wrong one
• The feeling of missing someone
• The feeling of getting a perfect Saladworks salad
• The feeling of emotion that chokes you in the middle of the night as you're reading a particularly touching book (don't judge, but Charlie St. Cloud was actually the most recent addition to this club, joining the ranks of works like HP7 and Lovely Bones)

Can you tell I'm feeling sentimental?

Fun Facts for No Reason At All

"In the Victorian era, fans were the ultimate playful props that could communicate all sorts of messages. A fan placed near the heart meant “You have won my love.” A half-opened fan pressed to the lips was an invitation, saying, “You may kiss me.” Hiding the eyes behind an open fan meant “I love you,” while opening and closing the fan several times was a chastisement, implying, “You are cruel.” Given how much a fan could come in handy, it’s a shame they ever invented air conditioning."

Saying so much, without saying anything at all (I need to work on that....), all while still looking fabulous! Damn, the Victorians knew what they were doing...(particularly the Steampunk ones).

A Semester of Firsts

So I realised the other day that despite my whole year of sophomore-ly wisdom, this is still a huge semester of firsts, that quite frankly, leave me feeling a bit like a freshman..

• First time having a class in Roddy, Stayer, McComsey, and Wickersham
• First semester with only one 2.5 hour studio art class (last one!!)
• First education class
• First lab
• First huge (well, 104 people, for some readers that's tiny) lecture class
• First night class
• First time (hopefully) add/dropping a class
• First time I'll be done classes before 3:30
• First time with field placement
• First seminar class
• First time eating at HOPI
• First time sharing books
• First time using D2L
• First class on the North Side of campus
• First science class

It's like I've never even gone to this school before! So much new! Holy cow. In other news, some things never change...

• Same room
• Same dorm
• Same room mates (who I love to death)
• Same bunk beds
• Same lovely cleaning people
• Same shitty UD food (literally, same fortune cookies, they were SO STALE)
• Same amount of progress on the construction projects....
• Same backpack
• Same ID picture (but new ID holder *sigh* I guess Vera Bradly is onto something...)
• Same art teacher (three consecutive semesters strong Brant!)
• Same art time (MW 1:00-3:30)

Sometimes it's like I never left...but don't worry readers, there's still plenty of things to learn.
