Koosh83: go hunting for gnomes!

Auto response from Koosh83: trying to go find something fun to do that does not involve sitting at my computer and going insane

Koosh83: why you might ask
Koosh83: cuz they are badass!
Koosh83: and they have cool pointy hats
Koosh83: like david the gnome!

*after sticking nose into milk carton, and being told that yes, that is indeed what milk is suppose to smell like* "...well, can't say I've ever stuck my nose in a milk carton before."

that's just here for safe keeping.

hmm. regarding random post from the 18th. I guess I hit "post" that day instead of "post and publish". so THAT's why it wasn't showing up. ha. haha.

oh Elias, I see you there
I work in the daytime
do you think you could answer all the questions of the world
in just one word?
I think you could
if you die will I get word at your door
will I hear it in passing conversation
will I stop short and fall to the ground
distance is short
when your hand carries what your eye found
hold my hand just one more time
to see if you're really gonna need me

Been listening to way too much Dispatch lately. Not that this is a bad thing... it's just that I've started singing "Elias" around the dorms and I know people are starting to notice the repetition. But it's so beautiful!!

evidently the iPod came in a few days ago. now all I have to do is get my butt down to Oly to pick it up, or bribe somebody into picking it up for me. hmm, but yes, very excited.

i have a bunch of Dorito's Rollitos that I don't want to eat anymore. there's just too many. hmm, speaking of too many of something, I have too many choices when it comes to when I want to work this fall. There are the football games, which would be good because I'd get paid about 50-60 bucks a game, plus free tickets. Downside is lack of tailgating, but somehow I think I'd survive. I do miss my parking job, sadly enough.

ok, time for bed. this is enough blogging for one night.

Evil Ninja has offended me. I must find a replacement. Send one my way, y'all, if ya could. (But don't make it the Terror Alert Level one - that one is kinda lame.)

wow. at the library, and almost wholly unmotivated to do my work. Yet, must do it, for if I don't, evil midgets will kill me with sticks. or my GPA might just go down. Either way.

Didn't get accepted into the German program I applied for, and in addition to that, I lost my Husky card. All before breakfast. That day wasn't a good one.... when was that? Tuesday? yes, I think it was last Tuesday.

Hard to believe that this is the 4th week of the quarter. Just another month and a half and my first year at college will be over. I don't know exactly what to make of it - sure, it's been a great year, and I"ll miss my room/roommates next year, and stuff. I just feel like it could have been better. oh well, it's good. And plus next year i'll get to study Biology instead of this chem nonsense. woot!

it will also be fun, albeit a major distraction, to have friends from semester colleges coming up to visit in early May. I don't know exactly how all that will work out, considering us quarter kids will need to study during that time, but i'm sure it'll be okay.

Right, well, back to my prelab.

Satellite, in my eyes
like a diamond in the sky
how I wonder
Satellite strung from the moon
and the world your balloon
Peeping Tom for the mother station

Winter's cold spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasen
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down, all around

Jeff: You're a dirty whore.
Me: What? Am not!
Jeff: Just kidding, you're as clean as a whistle... in that when I blow into you, you make a high-pitched noise...
Me: That's going in the profile.
Jeff: You'll forget!
And he's right. I did, until he reminded me today.

Updating blog to include recent humorous dialogue (can also be found currently on my AIM profile):

Me: I need to study my chemistry.
Jeff: Screw Chemistry!
Me: No! If I don't study chemistry, chemistry will screw me!
Jeff: Well, you can't have it both ways.
Me: Unless chemistry and I are both gay men...
Jeff: ... You should put that in your profile.

Grant: One time I accidentally licked my ex-girlfriend's toe...
Me and Jeff: Accidentally?
Grant: Yeah, well... whatever.

Bedtime. woot.

bought a book last night off the 50 cent rack at the bookstore on the Ave that is quickly going out of business. Very entertaining book written in the late 80's about AIDS. Worth every penny, and the fact that I have no idea who used to own the book is a definite plus. Could have been anyone! But, as this poignant, humorous, and relevant dialogue from page 148 of the book states, "I hugged him, sure. And don't give me that look - you can't get AIDS from hugging a friend!" (This was reportedly "overheard at the lockers", and there is a picture of some oblong people in lettermens jackets to prove it.) Ah, good times.

Anyway. So. acapella rehearsal tonight at 7, and I need to shower before then, so, catch you all later.

KillahKyla: haha! now we're both screwed!
M M K A N E: No, for us both to be screwed...
M M K A N E: *steals Kyla's virginity*
M M K A N E: HA!

a long december
and there's reason to believe
that maybe this year will be better
than the last
i can't remember
the last thing that you said
cuz you were leaving
and the days go by so fast
and it's one more day up in the canyons
and it's one more night in hollywood
if you think that i could be forgiven
i wish you would
the smell of hospitals and winter
and the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters
and no pearls
and all at once you look across a crowded room
and see the way that light attaches to a girl
and it's one more day up in the canyons
and it's one more night in hollywood
if you think you might come to california
i think you should
Counting Crows - A Long December

added Evil Ninja's Insult of the Day. See? See how it replaced the chatterbox? All is good now.

we (meaning tr00 and I) have dug up some real gems in recent days concerning.... well, nothing, really. But these are too good to not post. (hmm, I forget exactly how the one about catholicism went. but this one is good:)

Tr00 (on deciding which dorm to apply to for next year, McCarty or McMahon): "I guess what it comes down to is, which would I rather have: you, or a balcony?"

Classic. Anyway, methinks it's time for lunch, followed by some working out, and then perhaps a nap. And then school work, yeah. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to posting something that is actually fun, useful, insightful, or quirky. Until then, I'll leave you with some Jason Mraz. (And this. And this.)


so go on, place your order now
this "some other time" is right around the clock
you can't stand in line
well it finally begins
oh, just around the block
you can have your pick if your stomach is sick
whether you eat or not
and there's just one thing that I almost forgot
see, you and me we lay awake in lust
in rust and the rain, in front of everything
we say we trust, well it happened again
hallways end in doors where the rivers unwind
the rivers unwind so easy, oh these other couples that be

Jason Mraz - On Love, In Sadness

dude. So, chem lecture was actually interesting this morning. I got a lot out of it. Why do I feel so awake this morning? It doesn't feel at all like I stayed up until 2:30 AM talking with Tr00. (btw, he informed me that Tr00 is spelled with two zeros instead of the letter "o". Go figure.) And it wasn't the coffee either - I felt this way before drinking it. Must have something to do with the gorgeous sunlight. This is the way weather should be - sunny, but not hot, with a little bit of a breeze. Clear blue sky. Yeah, that's the ticket. Man, this is the best I've felt all week.

Just got back from breakfast with BK. Plans for today include German at 10:30, lunch at 11:30 (but i'm not going to be hungry!) bubble tea with tr00 at 1:30, frisbee practice at 3, and then fun times after that yet to be announced (probably some quality IMA time and then just chillin'). Tomorrow is Rocky Horror Picture Show, for which I am excited, and then Sunday is a capella rehearsal, which is also exciting because we're going to start singing my arrangement of "Say it Ain't So"!!! woot!

alright, word to your mother, brother or significant other. (that's not quite the line from "Lock Stock" that I was looking for... ah nevermind.)

back at school. naturally. and of course i'm not in 'school mode' yet, so i'm putzing around doing close to nothing, just exercising a lot and playing around. tonight I'm going to the library though, from 4-6, and no one can stop me! har.

organized a frisbee team. if you are female and are currently attending UW, please contact me if you would like to play with us. we need more female players (we've met the male quota).

finished composing the acapella version of "Say it Ain't So" by Weezer. it's gonna rock, I hope. looks pretty good anyway. sounds good when Finale plays the MIDI, anyway.

So. Yeah. Sitting here. Should be napping. I only get until 1:45, and then I have to go work out. yay?

i flip on the telly
i wrestle with jimmy
something is bubbling
behind my back
the bottle is ready to blow
say it ain't so
your drug is a heartbreaker
say it ain't so
my love is a life taker

Weezer - Say it ain't so

i had tender feelings that you made hard
but it's your heart, not mine, that's scarred
so when i go home i'll be happy to go
you're just somebody that i used to know
you don't need my help anymore
it's all now to you, there ain't no before
now that you're big enough to run your own show
you're just somebody that i used to know
i watched you deal in a dying day
and throw the living past away
so you can be sure that you're in control
you're just somebody that i used to know
i know you don't think you did me wrong
and i can't stay this way for long
keeping ahold of what you just let go
you're just somebody that i used to know
