"You Know You're a Diehmer When..."

• You know what to do when someone shouts "Sparrow!"
• Your favorite game is 'Let's see how many people we can fit at one round table!'
• You've spent at least one weekend night down in 2B playing/learning to play/getting your ass kicked at Halo.
• You sit in the hallway all the time because there's nothing else to do.
• Late night is an every night affair.
• You really, really want to take your Fabreeze with you whenever you go down to 2B.

On to the Day's Lessons

Okay class, today we learned,

• Sometimes you just need to grin and bear it. Karma, people, karma. It's a big thing.
• Solfege syllables are more important than one might think.
• Being 'on time' to some people may actually mean 12 minutes early.
• Don't rely on technology, it's in cahoots with Karma.
• People can kind of be jerks.
• I should start my art homework sooner.
• There is nothing like praise to make you feel like a million bucks.
• Harry Potter and the Magical Muggle Museum is BACK! And I am so totally going.
• There are only five classes until fall break.
• Skype is really really distracting while doing homework.
• The Hills is even stupider than I thought it was.
• That I am, once again, out of jeans and need to do laundry. Ugh.
• The fruit flies are now laying siege to the bathrooms as well.
• That I will be seeing more of my friends parents than my friends over fall break.
• People actually watch The Hills, like, on purpose.
• I love apples. I had forgotten until today I went to Gordy's to get a snack, and picked apple slices. As a snack. Look at me, eating healthy on purpose!

Other than that, not much to report. Recently no new celebs have been spotted roaming the campus, and no new sightings of anything really interesting either. Maybe some around campus photos will be posted soon, who knows?

And so the Countdown Begins...

3 days until break people. Almost there, hold on people. So, I decided to include in this blog a list of things I'm planning on bringing back from fall break, for everyone's amusement, along with my normal list of lessons for the day. Here goes.

BRING BACK FROM FALL BREAK

1. Windex (we tend to fog up the mirrors up in here)
2. Kites (because the Quad is absolutely perfect for kite-flying)
3. Curtains (to keep out creepers, oh wait, we need a functional peephole and coded knocks to do that...)
4. New cover up (because the color I have now is more appropriate for the Twilight premiere than for everyday usage)
5. Air Hogs mini-helicopters (for epic sky battles in all the airspace we have above our island)
6. basket and pulleys (for our clothesline-esque transport system between bunk beds).
7. Slip-on shoes (because my Vans can only take so much more duct tape before I'm wearing shoes made completely from duct tape)
8. Cherry Chapstick (not for that reason Katy!! I don't know where mine got to and it is legit the best stuff for chapped lips!! Don't judge!)
9. Game Cube & Karaoke Revolution (because we need some game systems down in 2A and we don't have to be drunk to sing karaoke)
10. A real coat (because all I have is sweatshirts and it is freaking cold some days!)

Back from Weekend Hiatus.

No worries people, I'm back!! After a refreshing weekend visit from Kelly and jaunt to the Renn Faire, I'm back and blogging again (loyal fans-all three of you- rejoice!). Also, I'd like to note that this blog has not only spread down 2A like wildfire, we've also got readers from DC and NYC, as well as N Phila. whom I shout out to now *insert shout out.* And we've extended our reader base to more than one significant other as well. Glad I'm helping out procrastinators everywhere!! So, I know, now you're dying for my infinate wisdom after the longest dry spell in the history of this blog. So, here goes: This weekend/today I learned....

• Nutella is the second greatest invention of all time. Coming in a close second with mothers as a whole.
• Nutella and peanut butter are very close to kicking mothers from the top spot, however.
• There is, in fact, a legit flying tarantula residing in the lame-duck doorway of 218.
• The Renn Faire is possibly the greatest place ever, next to Disney World.
• I should work at the Renn Faire.
• I have the greatest friends, who have the sweetest parents, of all time!!
• Megan Fox is just a huge slut. Like, legit hoebag. Just look at the newest Rolling Stone. All she is is a porn star who somehow wanders into auditions for real movies.
• There's nothing more distracting from homework than a beautiful day, a RS with Megan Fox on the cover to verbally tear to shreds, a blanket, and people to tear Megan Fox up with.
• LC is a pretty cool place.
• The best spot in LC is the jumping fountains, by far.
• Creepy workers at the Fractured Prune will assume you're flirting with them through the front window of their store, even though a group of your friends is sitting between you and him.
• Blue-slushy things from the Fractured Prune are wonderful!
• Cygnets is closing after this year and the whole lower floor of UD is being redone.
• I have three less classes this week!
• Tickets for All American Rejects go on sale next week.
• Ebay is a horrible place invented solely to crush dreams.
• My RA doesn't think I'm weird. Or at least won't admit it.
• I have no class on Friday!
• I'm not very good at Halo, even shuckyducky is starting to get better than me.
• A spoonful of peanut butter will not make the medicine go down. In fact, it will barely make itself go down.
• I currently hold the 'most creeped on in 24 hours' record with 10 creeps. Beat that! (No, seriously, someone beat that...).
• Even Ray-J is susceptible to the evils of alcohol.
• He is, however, also a very adamant environmentalist.

On that note, I shall leave you to study up on my rhythm syllables and hand signs for my music test. 'Rocky Mountain', here I come!!

This Makes Me Smile...

...because I totally agree with it (as will many of you...) and think that all schools should have this as their voicemail. Teach people some repsonsibiliy and to stop blaming schools because they have bad parents.

New Segment: "SMILE! You're on Candid Campus!"

So now that I have a schhhhweet camera phone I find myself taking picture of all the stuff I encounter around campus that either make me smile, laugh, cry, or think of certain people. So I've decided to add some of it to my blog. Please keep in mind these are cell phone pictures, so the quality will be crappy. But it's the content that matters anyway...

"311"

Some creative 311 desk graffiti from my psych desk, taken for a friend of mine who loves the band...

"Aida Rocks"

Some writing in the grime on the window of some greenhouse back by the gym. Taken for my BFF who stage managed a production of the show 'Aida.' Plus this is just a freaking weird thing to writing on a window.

"Old Woman'

She was just so cute, technically not on campus, but spotted while on a campus bus. She was just hanging outside the mall knitting. Adorbs.

Anyone with contributions of oddities spotted around campus (any campus will do!) text me them! But I want ones you've taken, not ones offline! With explanations!

Small Bit of Happiness in the Middle of a Friday

REAL TEXT FROM LAST NIGHT. As in, I recieved this text message on my phone:

Ohhhh man....also, one from a little bit ago,

(267): yeah, an aryan and a jew, we're so cute.
(I-267): hitler would be proud.

Welcome to the Weekend

Technically not yet, but it is officially Friday, whooohoooo! Only two more hours of class then I'm FREE! Today I learned:

• I'm an apple-dumpling virgin.
• That drawing a staircase is quite hard
• That karma, despite any previous notion of us being friends, it actually a huge b*tch. Like, legit, karma. I thought we had something special. Apparently not.
• That I need to get to the gym and get my awesome Wellness journal signed.
• That teaching oneself on the piano is not as easy as I tried to convince myself it would be.
• It takes a lot of work to put music notes on a staff in Microsoft Word.
• I miss people, a lot.
• Apple day is awesome. I love apples!!
• Nothing is better than receiving a surprise package, except receiving a surprise package of COOKIES!
• I have the best friends EVER.
• I want to go home and be Arwen for Halloween so badly now!
• That I really should go to bed soon, but I won't....
• That South Park just isn't as good as it used to be.
• That my roommate has not seen Star Wars or LOTR. Which I must remedy as soon as possible.
• They're making an Avatar movie. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't kind of excited.
• The cleaning ladies here make shady ticket deals.
• That someday (apparently) I'm going to be a famous art teacher who runs all sorts of trendy up-and-coming NYC galleries in my spare time (right, Ashley?).

Other than that, not too much new. However, I would like to warn everyone that my one of my best friends is visiting and not to expect too much from me on the blogging front. Do however prepare yourself for an up and coming segment...and by up and coming I mean I have no idea when I'll get around to it.

In other news: some news. This explains why my life has always been so difficult...*over dramatic sigh*

Something to Ruin Your Childhood

So, before this goes a step further, let me assert that I am such a HUGE fan of Disney. I want to be an Imagineer more than anything in the world, I kick butt at Disney Scene It, I can quote almost every movie...you get it. But despite all that I still think that these pieces are INCREDIBLE. Disturbing, but incredible. Take the time to really check out all the details in each one. Granted you can see them through your tears...


You still want to see them? Okay fine, don't say I didn't warn you.
