Scribbles in the Dark

so who else loves the lj theme for halloween? *grin* i absolutely adore that little haunted house in the top right corner!!

i'm hoping halloween can be a happy holiday this year. i've already been to two hosted parties and two parties of an improptu nature, and this weekend has been fantastic. i love it here, being able to do whatever and not having to tell my parents, 'oh yeah, i'm going to this party, is that okay?' i definitely went to the beach last night, after the honors halloween party that ran from 8pm to midnight, with a group of about a dozen, no alcohol. we definitely got back at 5:20am not counting the time change!!!! (that's 6:20am, y'all) we had a fire on the beach, marchmellows/smores, and ~17 shooting stars in the clearest sky i've seen in years. it was fantastic!!!! and i've been to house of pies a lot now too; we went there after the arch party, since pretty much everyone there was drunk, and our group is not cool with hangovers. but hooboy this weekend has rocked. well, except for the waste of time and money that constituted my attempt to pay my inspection sticker ticket fee. *frustrated*

well, i've a bit of algebra homework to do, but right now i'm about to play smash with jim and preston. we've been watching avatar all morning. *grin* my bf is as big a geek as i am. kay, going now!!!! i'm getting pretty good at playing link, to the point where i can generally beat the comp players on level 9. i'm smokin!!! and then jim kicks my butt. *eyeroll* it's worse when he gets me to play james bond, cause then all the guys are just waiting at the spawn points to kill me and take my weapons. those.... aww, they're adorable, i can't yell at them. le sigh....

^/___^

i know, i haven't been on lj in forever. what's new, guys?

human sit is such a fun class. *grins* prof zaretsky did the lecture on aristophanes' speech in the symposium. it's about how we used to be bagel-people. more on that later, ( so this is the story )i have to go now. sara is going off-campus for dinner and i definitely want out for a bit. ^/___^


also, i have a lemon with a wild-haired frown-y face carved into it, and on the other side it says, 'be a genius, damnit!'. jim made it for me, tho he didn't know why. hahahaha!!!!! okay i really gotta run now.

bye!!!!!!

today has rocked so hard!!!!! well, technically, yesterday, but whatever- saturday. (???) yes!!!! especially since today was closely preceded by yesterday, which was also fun. i was covered in paint! up to my elbows! architecture rocks, guys. *grins*

today: slept in till eleven (woot!), then went down to the pancake social in the basement. i wore chari's clothes, because i didn't have a clean red shirt, and then i had to wear the matching pants, y'know? but i love these pants- they're wrap-arounds. anyway, the pancake social- my dorm rocks so much!!!! the guys made pancakes from scratch for our whole floor, and they were delicious. mm..... also free, which, hey, cool! then i went and took my algebra quiz- got one question wrong, which, i dunno how, i added wrong? but anyway, then lauren called and wanted some company while she went shopping. so we went down westheimer looking for the cvs or whatever, and it practically didn't exist!!!! but then we found chuy's (in houston!!!! *dies*) and it was right next door. and then we went to old navy, where i sang about cowboys while she shopped, and then i talked to don while lauren cursed at the people on the highway who wouldn't let her merge. ^/___^ we had an adventure trying to find old navy.... ended up doing something like three u-turns and a few illegal parking lot maneuvers. so, anyway, we get back just in time to go tailgating for the rice/tulane football game at 4p. again- free food. plus: band, shirtless guys w/ red paint on their chests, and people throwing other people in the air for fun. and i had football explained to me in a way that i actually understood wtf?! we won 45-7 tho, so that was cool. it's like, our third game; our first was against rice, our arch-rivals. i was totally not there for the game, but jim and his friend isaac managed to keep me there through the end by holding my stuff hostage. *glares* they're lucky they have redeeming qualities (aka sarcasm), or i might have had to hit someone in the kidney. and jim was one of the afore-mentioned guys covered in paint, so that helped. *shameless grin* then we came back and watched 'dress to kill' over a pint of ice cream. so much fun!!!!!! "you say 'erb', we say 'herb'- because it has a f*** h in it!" eddie izzard is hysterical. the best part was after the movie, tho, when me and jim and chari reminisced about germany together. *mopes* i long for my ancestral homeland!!!!! we talked about kinderuberaschung, sausages, language quirks, and the lay of the land, among other things. me and jim both have that 'no one else can understand what i'm missing' feeling, so it works out well.

but all in all, today was the best day EVER. the end. ^/___^
