Sightings Around Campus II

Today I saw...




One, way too old, man flabby and shirtless driving around campus in his explorer.


America Ferarah? Some girl from my art class introduced me to her friends as 'that girl who looks like America' I'm way flattered, she's way prettier than me, but it's actually not the first time I've heard that.

Nothing else really exciting to report? Let me know if you see anything post-worthy around campus.

Thirsty Thursday

Not to much happening today, well technically yesterday...but then again I always say that and end up with really long posts. Whatever. Today I learned:

• Zumba is not just for strippers anymore!
• The red-yellow apples are clearly the best kind ever.
• The lead singer of Queen died in 1991.
• If you stay still in Halo, you don't show up on other people's radars.
• I'm terrible at Halo
• Where to go if I ever need to borrow a Harry Potter book.
• Who to talk to if I ever need new music.
• The guy who works at Gordy's that I chat with on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays is in my music class and recognises me, whereas it took me until today to figure out where I knew him from.
• That some guys have cherry chapstick.
• That there is such a thing as Man-MS, which is when men PMS.
• When you go Greek you stay Greek for life and pay them a percent of your salary and all this crazy stuff!
• The Galley does DIY salads!
• How to avoid the inevitable semi-creepy conversations with the omelet guy.
• That if you try to be lazy and take the easy volunteer job you end up being stationed all the way across campus in bumble fuck.
• That the sound of 6+ fans is much worse than one slightly annoying air conditioner.

To be frank, I've got a psych test that I just spent an hour studying for and it pretty much pushed any other important lessons out of my brain. More later perhaps?

As a sign off, here are some awesome shirts that I feel like you all, my ambiguous audience, might appreciate. I know they're on my birthday wish list!!

This is another excellent website to check out, if you're bored Like I always am, they've got great articles and even better t-shirts. I love intelligent humor...(even if I can't fully utilise it).

Oy vey!

Ever have one of those mornings where you wake up and feel like at some point in the night you were hit by a truck? Even though you had no alcohol the night before...I hate that. I guess that's my reward for taking the initiative to actually do a load of laundry (yes, yes, it's true...). Although the way I'm feeling this morning plus the effort it takes to actually do said laundry (it is currently hanging off every available surface to dry) explains my hesitation in the first place.

But you sure as hell don't read my blog to hear me piss and moan (or maybe you do? In which case, you're welcome!). So here's a fun link on an even more enjoyable website, Sporkle. First introduced to me by a certian wife of Forrest Gumpp but now a favorite past time for those late hour study breaks...

"Speak Slow"

For reference, blog title is the name of the song playing right now, by Tegan and Sara (check them out, they're awesome...).

Here is me meeting the aforementioned Tegan and Sara....again, look into them, very chill, awesome people.





Anyway, today I learned...

• That a missed a decently sized patch of my leg while shaving. Which went so well with the dress I decided to wear.
• That skype has all but eliminated the need to ever actually interact with people, even if they live DOWN THE HALL.
• That other people hate Diehmers are are really against us honors kids being awesome. Quit breakin' up the band Yoko!
• That there is actually a mathematical method to successfully choosing between two potential mates.
• Chinese food in UD isn't as bad as I would have expected. It's no Hong Kong Gourmet, but still...
• Socks and flip-flops are a hilarious looking combination (just ask Dan).
• Bring an art/art ed major means everyone assumes you carry around art supplies on your personage at all times. (False, by the way. Only sometimes).
• There are snakes on campus?!
• Getting on the roof is actually highly frowned upon by admin, despite the fact that there is no signage posted about getting up there...(and if they're stupid enough to leave the door open, I'll be stupid enough to go up there!).
• The guy at Gordy's whenever I seem to get lunch is a sweetheart, we chat.
• Our school got totally screwed over! Other districts gave out cool rewards like prom tickets and get out of class free passes for doing well on PSSAs. We got soft pretzels and a pat on the back!
• Our RA now totally thinks I'm freaking weird because someone mentioned that I have a blog and invented the word 'brostitution.' Among all the other weird stuff I do/have done.
• I am actually really freaking weird.
• Painting a jewelery box is no easy task.
• Laundry is so much more trouble than it's worth (speaking of which, my hamper is still giving me the stink eye...I really have to get on that. I've been reduced to sweatpants, dresses, and unmatched socks.)
• Nothing makes you feel more like a flower child than walking barefoot across the quad in a flowy dress (I highly recommend you try it sometime....)
• That I am actually more performance motivated than task motivated. At least according to our psych survey. I think I'm going to retake it...
• That international exchange students enjoy talking about karma sutra while sanitising their hands in the main hallway?
• Miller wasn't mearly replaced, both of them were! Because someone shot them with a Beebee gun!
• People actually read and enjoy this blog!
• At least one other person on this campus knows what/visits mugglenet! See earlier post...
• That I have wonderful roomies, especially when they don't kill me for not letting them in when they get locked out... (among many many other reasons....<3)

Other than that, I'd like to thank everyone who actually takes the time to read this! I'm not used to it! I'm glad you enjoy it, and it makes me so happy that people enjoy this ridiculousness that is me. Until later, p&b, p&b (check earlier posted video to figure out where that's from)...

In my searching of Urban Dictonary I found...

Jizzum Tree (noun): A common tree in the Northeast that when in bloom it has the awkward smell of semen. College campuses, particularly in Pennsylvania, are covered with these trees making it a standing joke at all universities to walk outside and smell the Jizzum Trees.

Example: "Welcome, parents, to Millersville University. It may smell like sex is in the air but I assure you it is not your 18 year old daughters getting a Moose Knuckle for the fist time. It is only the Jizzum Trees in full bloom. Right this way is the school Dining Hall...."

Somehow I can't wait for spring now?

A Little Hump Day* Pick-Me-Up

*Hump Day [Huhmp-Day] (noun): The middle of a work week (Wednesday); used in the context of climbing a proverbial hill to get through a tough week. Has no relation to the verb form of hump.

So this video is probably one of the funniest things I've ever seen. You may notice that this is the inspiration for many of my sign offs on this very blog. Warning: you may find yourself LMAO-ing for real and you will deffinatly be quoting this for days, if not months...

Enjoy. More later...Chacha for now!

A Quickie in the SMC....

...hehe

Just some quick thoughts between classes while loitering in the SMC for an hour:

Okay the couches in here are much to comfortable, every MW I sit on them and try and study and ALWAYS end up falling asleep. EVERY FREAKING TIME. Now, you might be thinking 'Krysti, then why don't you sit somewhere less comfortable?' to which I would reply 'Why would I sit somewhere less comfortable??' But, consider yourself warned. SMC couches induce naps.

Also, kid in SMC lab two rows away is totally browsing Mugglenet. I think I'm in love.

Off to psych, peace and blessens, peace and blessens!

Add A Little Fail to Your Night

from failblog.org (wonderful site)

Typical Tuesday

Again, uneventful, though I am now officially a member of a club/organization! Goal one (as discussed with the OL) fulfilled. Though I've never actually been in a musical I've been around enough theater people for enough time that I feel like at least a tiny portion of their endless talent has rubbed off on me. Plus we're doing a Disney showcase. How could I pass that up!? In other news... Sat next to Michael Cera (god I hope he never reads this for any freakish reason...) today in art class, think he may have spoken (abet under his breath) but still. Progress is progress. In other news, my sick rain boots arrived today and it did not rain ONE TIME while I was waiting. I half expected it to monsoon every day they were supposed to get here, but luckily it did not. Though now I won't mind. Next rainstorm I'm dragging the whole hall out to puddle jump.

Also, I've been hassled enough to add a side note to this blog. Yes, I am in the honors college, and no I cannot spell. I do have the decency to hit spell check most of the time before posting, but typos happen people. Catch them and let me know if you feel so inclined. But you know that you know what I mean. Also, a warning, some material that I post (such as the formerly posted 'Bro Rape' video) is somewhat coarse and vulgar. That's my sense of humor, and I apologise in advance for any offence caused. But from henceforth on, consider yourself warned. Don't say I didn't warn you.

So, to atone for some previous, semi-shocking links, here are some nicer, pretty freaking sweet (and really nerdy) craft projects...

http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=320019.0

That dosn't change the fact that I want them both.
On to today's lessons.

• People are freaking creepy.
• Fire drills are so unnecessary before like 11am, though there is an incentive to evacuate because you never know who thinks they're hot enough to come out without a shirt on.
• There is totally enough time for those who are not hot enough to get out of the shower, go back to their rooms, and put on clothes.
• Laundry is the most cruel of all chores. It just sits in a pile and stares at you every minute of every day...reminding you of the impending doom that is laundry day...
• Galley breakfast sucks. EDIT: GALLEY BREAKFAST IS AWESOME
• There's a parking garage on campus?
• Spiral stairs (more like square stairs I guess, the ones that change direction every so often, whatever they're called...) almost always have eight steps in a block and four blocks between floors, which makes a perfect venue for humming the four eight-beat phrases of the 'Hungarian Canon' or really most songs...
• Cleaning up your own messes is too much for some people to handle.
• Not only have flying tarantulas invaded our hall, it apperares that there is also a clan of blue albino ones launching an attack on our room. Everyone should be informed, they are launching plotting and god forbid the two join forces....
• For some people sending their half of a partner paper before 2 in the morning is just too much to ask.
• Legends of the Hidden Temple is not as widely known of a show as I always thought...
• Apparently if we have one more girl stay over our dorm we are considered a brothel in PA (although Chacha won't admit it)...so who's sleeping over?? (Kelly!)
• The gods of weather and bad luck don't hate me as much as I always thought, it did not rain on me while I was carrying the box with our rain boots back from the mail room.

Not too many lessons today, sorry everyone. But, I'd like to issue an advisory to all my hall buddies, watch out for Gilbert Hall (not only does the name totally sound like it was name after the king of the creepers but...) it appears to be a hotbed for crime.

And with that (and this) I leave you all...
(248): Is your delayed response due to the massive amount of judging going on?

Word of the Week

Bromance [bro-mance] (noun): Describes the complicated love and affection shared by two straight males.

Example:
Steve: Ah, Dave!!! I can't believe you stole this first pressing of Aladdin Sane from your record store for me. We were just talking about this the other night. Dave: No sweat, pal. Steve: That is some full-on bromance. You're the man.
