Quick post, cause I'm trying to get back into the habit and my laundry's in.
We in the quad enjoy YouTube. We enjoy it A LOT. And every semester or so, we pick a favorite video (or series of videos) and anytime someone has a shitty day or is feelin down or just needs a distraction, we play said video. Sometimes said video may or may not be loaded at all times on some people's computers to avoid inconvenient loading wait times...maybe. So, as I finish out half of my college career (talk about terrifying), I reminisce on the videos of bygone semesters.
FALL 2009: Our first love.
MOST QUOTED LINE: EVERYTHING SHE SAYSSSS
SPRING 2010: Damn youtube and copyrights
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xd2orx_saturday-night-live-new-alarm-clock_fun
MOST QUOTED LINE: "Hiiiilo"
FALL 2010: Be careful, of them all, this is the least appropriate. This guy is on some drug in a room by himself just...chatting.
MOST QUOTED LINE: "Not mah chair, not mah problem."
RUNNER UP: Surprise Kitty <3<3<3<3
SPRING 2011: Omg, this man is our hero...recommendations: Dom vs Hipsters, Drunk Girls, Parties, Being Fresh
MOST QUOTED LINE: "Is today gonna be a good day? Yes. Double yes." and really anything he says.
RUNNERS UP: "Pug Can't Get Up" and anything with a weatherman in it...
We are now accepting applications for FALL 2011 videos....any suggestions? Keep in mind that between us (well, mostly me) we've seen a lot of viral videos in our day. Impress us.

Holy Spit
It's been over a week since I last posted!! And I'd been doing so well. Well, for me. But don't worry, I have several very good excuses, on rhymes with Schmodspell (<3), one rhymes with schmomework and one rhymes with Schmortal Shmoo. In conclusion, I love you all, I'll be back soon!

Games I Learned At College
Don't worry, this isn't what you think. Mom, Grammy, you can keep reading, don't worry. These are just some of the games I've learned to play being a college kid.
- Chivialry Yahtzee: This game is played by walking behind one or more people while your arms are full of food, books, packages or other assorted large unwieldy objects. You try and guess whether or not the people/person in front of you will wait and hold the door or make you stand (most likely in the rain, cause people rarely hold doors in the rain) and fumble blindly and one-handedly in your pocket for your ID card to get into your dorm.
- French Fry Jenga: This is also a game played when your hands are full. When walking back from somewhere (usually Late Night) with a bunch of food in your hands, and you're STARVING and you REALLY REALLY want that french fry on top of the pile on top of all the food your holding so you use your tongue/lips to maneuver that single fry out from the pile of fries and into your mouth without A. tumbling the pile B. dropping fries or C. having fry fall down your cleavage. Sorry to say I've lost this game a few times...
- YouTube Scramble: This is the stupid, shorter name for a game I like to call "How-Many-Games-of-Tetris-Can-I-Play-Before-This-Video-Loads." Self-explanatory
- That's All I Got In the Fridge: Sprinkle sprankle bitches.
- Did I Wear This Last Class?: Yeah, I hate laundry. And if you wear layers, sometimes you can get away with the top shirt twice. Don't judge me, I know you've done it.
- Bus Bingo: This is when I just kinda saunter off to the mall/the city/Goodwill/the movies without really actually looking to see when there are buses and just pray that there's another one coming.
- But I Had a Reason! This is when you sit down, sign off Facebook, disconnect your Internet and get pumped for some hardcore working time, and then you realize that you absolutely had to [insert something you "need" Internet/facebook for here]. Then you end up spending 40 more minutes on Facebook/YouTube/Skype/Stumbleupon/CollegeHumor/this blog before you actually start your homework.
- Don't Wake Roomate!: A classic, that's even more high-stakes if you're an insomniac whose sleep schedule is three hours off from the rest of the world (who, me?)
- New Class Clue: This is when you get stuck in some class where you literally know no one and the proff makes you pick groups or partners on the very first day. So you have to eye up everyone around you and evaluate their intelligence, group work ability, commuter-status, personality and general usefulness in one glance and then calculate how best to not-awkwardly ask them to be partners. [Note: variations of this game include "You're the best looking in this class, let's work together" and "I-Spy the Class Workaholic. Partners?"]
- Registration-opoly: Players must weigh the benefits of a great prof vs the inconvenience of an 8am class! Try and get a set of classes in all the same building in a row so you don't have to walk back-and-forth!
- InconvienceLand: Nothing like it's jolly counterpart (true life: there's no Queen Frostine in the real world), this game occurs when you need to know something about hours, services on campus, regulations, etc. All you have to do is ask yourself the question "Would it be convenient?" If the answer to that question is 'yes', the answer to your original query is 'no'. [Note: I can only vouch for this game's accuracy at my school, but with 50% budget cuts, the rest of the PA schools might get better at this game soon enough]
- Bidd-I-Spy: You can pretty much play this one anywhere. Basically, grab a window seat or lawn chair by housing on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday night (PSU: any night works for you) and watch the Uggs/leggings/Northfaces roll on by in droves. Play with your friends by making bets on how early into spring semester you'll start seeing bare legs again (my money's on February).

MLIB: My Life is Bizzzaaayyy
Hey kids, quick post tonight, it's late and I have first grade bright and early tomorrow then class then have to assemble some more costumes, write some more papers, plan some more lesson, do some more shit. But, I noticed I haven't posted in a week (SAD, I know) and I love you all so much, I wanted to check in. So, here's a quickie.
This is kind of epic. I don't care if you don't really know what Starcraft is (it's a video game, beyond that, I'm on the same page as most of you - noooo idea). But you cannot deny the awesome mash-up power that these two random-ass pop culture items have when, well, mashed up. It's the audio for the video game trailer dubbed over clips from the 'My Little Pony' TV show. WHO THINKS OF THESE THINGS?!
Speaking of mashups...guess whose favorite blogger got to see the Beelzebubs (AKA: the Warbler's from Glee/the guys from 'The Sing Off') this weekend. That's right, your favorite blogger (ie - me). Ph.D. (sorry girl, it's late and that's the best codename I could think of after our lovely car ride talk) and I road tripped it up to PSU to see the 'Bubs' perform with NOTA, PSU's equally awesome acapella group (GLaDOS, kiddo, ya did great!). So, basically as if the Warblers were not already my favorite part of Glee....
The Beelzebus on 'The Sing Off' (if they don't make you melt you don't have a soul - add that to my list!)
PSU's NOTA (Think they sound good? They're even better live. Espesh when they do 'I'll Follow You Into the Dark, one of my favorite songs of all time. And I've been told 'Helena' isn't too shabby either.)
More or less the Bean kinda nailed it down today during our two hour discussion of acapella music: "NOTHING IS MORE ATTRACTIVE THAN A MAN WHO CAN SING" (granted that was one of the more blog-ppropriate comments we exchanged, but let's leave it at that...acapella music is incredible. The performers (both male and female, haha) have such an extreme degree of talent in every fiber of their being that just being around it makes you feel so great. Bottom line: GO SEE YOUR SCHOOL's ACAPELLA GROUP(S)!!! Or, if you're at a lame-ass school like me without one, travel an exuberant amount of time to see someone else's!! I'm pretty sure my total travel time for acapella music is fast approaching the 10hr mark. Addiction? Maybe.
Wow, this was supposed to be a quickie post...now look at it, three videos and a small inner monologue/soapbox speech later and here we are. At the end, I swear. G'night lovelys. Sweet, acapella (singer) filled dreams!
