Ok, strange realization time. This was just too odd of a realization to pass up on blogging. I have a boyfriend named Chris, my roommate Sam has a boyfriend named Chris. My Chris has a brother named Alex that he lives with, Sam's Chris has a friend named Alex that he lives with. Coinkidink? (coincidence?) I don't think so. This whole Chris and Alex thing is just getting really strange now. This has got to be one of the stranger things relationship wise that I've run into. Even stranger than my friends (who were best friends with each other) who dated brothers. It's stranger than the Jeremy thing too. (I'm not even going into the strangeness of that one). Um . . . yeah, ok, I just had to share that cuz I just realized it and how strange it was.

Ah ha, so I'm not the only one getting hits from Slashdot. That's just really odd.
Yeah, parking citations suck. I got one once for parking for 5 minutes in a metered space without putting anything into the meter (there wasn't a cop arond and I figured no one would find it). Silly me didn't realize that other cars can park for longer at the meters without putting in change but I can't.
Baka Chris you should have returned those earlier. You freak, I WANT EXCEL! and now I can't get it ;_; You really should learn to return things as soon a possible.
One of the classics? I'm not sure I understand.
Wow, another layout, definately interesting, but nice. I like the link mouseovers.
Anyways, not much exciting going on, just D&D today and then lots of studio work. Tomorrow is going to majorly suck, I can see it already.

Brief rant:
Why is it that my roommates seem to hook up with Chris more than I do? (not you chris). Dude I swear they have better friendships with him than I do with him. This strikes me as kinda odd, I mean this is two in a row. Am I missing something here? Do I really suck that much as a person that he's trying to subtly get rid of me? Or is there something else going on here and I'm just missing something?
Brief rant #2:
In addition to the realization that people don't like me my back has been hurting all day as well as my calf and the wonderful bruse I got while adventuring. I also have a ton of homework to do that I keep forgetting about untill it's waaaay late in the day at which point in time I'm really tired and don't want to do it. The people in my studio are being slow and forgetful and not getting me the stuff I need for the studio webpage that's due tomorrow. So I can't get any of that done till last minute because no matter how many times I remind them they don't do it. I guess they don't care since it's my grade on the line, not theirs. -.- grrrr . . . this has not been the best of days.

Hee hee, today in Japanese class we had the Coffee Klotch. There were four of us in section (who were all sitting together) who had coffee. It was kinda funny. We made jokes about it in Japanese all during class.
Ok, how does someone get to my page from Slashdot?
Monday, October 15, 2001 You're the only one who lost HP? I lost HP long before you even noticed that your HP was missing. Fortunately I am the Fighter ("I like swords") so it didn't matter as much.
Fortunately for me I managed to snag an hour of sleep between 7:00 and 8:00, and then went back to sleep after my japanese class. Now I'm in studio with a grand total of 3.5 hours of sleep to work off of and I feel fine. For some reaon (summer job grrrrrr . . .) the afternoon naps rejuvinate me, no matter how much sleep I got prior to the nap. This is all good with me since I forgoed doing any homework yesterday, well actually this morning, in order to go adventuring. This means a late night tonight to get my stuff done, hopefully it won't take as long as I think it might. Sleep is a good thing.
FYI, all the adventuring happened after I got home from studio last night, so it happened after I was almost arrested.

Interesting story of the night:
Ok so for starters I'm trying to get my studio work done when all of a sudden a police officer comes in the building and tells us that we have to evacuate because there is a gas leak. So we figure ok, this shouldn't take too long and we evacuate. Then outside someone mentioned that this happened last year and that it took 2 hours for them to check out the place and let everyone in. My studio-mate Anneleise had left her backpack and bike and stuff in studio and still wanted to get work done (as did I). It just so happens that my studio is located near a roof top, one that you can access the windows from (thereby getting into my studio). This theory was proved last year when Sebastian (also from studio) managed to break in through the window in broad daylight. So Anneleise (wanting to get back to work) decided to try to figure out how he got in before. Stupid me decided to follow her out of morbid curiosity (and hope that I could get in too to go back to work. Can you believe this? How many people do you know who would try to break into a building to get homework done?). We did managed to discover the secret to getting in, however a police office managed to arrive right as Anneleise was wandering around on the roof (me below in case she fell while climbing). So of course Mr. Police officer decides to talk to us. He tells us that he could arrest us for trespassing because we were climbing on the building (enter freaked out looks on faces). My favorite part of the talk was this:
Anneleise: "Is it written in the student handbook somewhere that you can't climb on buildings?"
Mr. Officer: "Well generally unless there is a ladder there and a sign that says welcome students people don't think to go climing a building. It's common sense."
Anneleise: "Well common sense and written down are two completely different things."
I had to keep myself from snickering at that one. We were fortunate that the police officer let us go and just told us not to do it again. We told him that we were Architecture students that were bord and decided to do some building climbing. (We were trying to kill time so that wasn't totally untrue). However we are both now in the compuer at the police station (joy -.-). In the end we made a few jokes about climbing buildings and were let go. We did ask him about the leak and apparently it's something that just randomly showes up about once a year and then goes away. It's kinda odd.
So there was the adventure of the night. Not much else happened besides that.
Friday, October 12, 2001 I am not refering to you when I say pillow. I mean an acutal, pillow. I may love you to pieces but your not the center of my universe.
04:36 p.m.
Thursday, October 11, 2001
Ok one last thing, a new search engin hit. My second hit for Ayumi Hamasaki Porn. I thought these were supposed to go to Sam. Why am I suddenly getting them?
01:33 p.m.

Today in Spacial Composition I learned that I don't have any friends because I don't have a porch. Yep that's right, no porch = no friends. Do you have a porch? Maybe that's why you have friends, or in my case, maybe that's why you don't have any friends. Who knows, but the porch tells all. *giggles*
The other thing I learned is that my pillow is the center of my universe. No, no it's true, my professor told me so. Just like the reading he assigned told me that I have no friends because I don't have a porch. *Pretends to be really profound* You see since you start and end with pillow, it becomes the center of your life. Pillow encompases all that you do. You wake up with your head on the pillow, and you go to sleep with your head on the pillow. It is your center, that which you revolve around. *giggles some more*
Ok enough with the retardedness (sometimes you gotta just let it all out). Anoooo . . . . I don't have much else to blog here. Although I must say Jen for some reason your blog cheered me up today. I don't know what it was about it, but it was special.
Ick, lots o' architecture homework today. Not really looking forward to it, but not much I can do about it. At leas I have anime tonight so the day won't be a total drag.
Double ick, I have ECS in a half hour. I don't want to go to ECS, it's boring. I want to stay here and continue to work on my latest winamp skin while bouncing to Ayumi Hamasaki. *continues to bounce* OMG I'm turning into Sam. Someone help me please. It's bad enough being her roomie, bouncing like her just makes things worse. *bounces some more* Ack! I really gotta stop that, I'm starting to scare myself.
Why am I still rambling you might ask even though I have nothing to blog but am blogging anyways because I'm bored and watching my monitor flick when Devin turnes his on in studio but still continuing to type and listen to musik and spell things the german way simply because I wasn't paying enough attention to my typing and was too lazy to fix it? I have no idea. Makes for a good run-on sentence though ^_^;;;
Anywaysh I shhould probably really go now cuz I got classh in a half hour and I want to work on my shkinning shtuffs shome more.
I'm all about this too:
My Aunt Carol's story got 2nd place in the Clara Awards. It's kinda cool cuz it's one step closer to her getting it published. Getting it published would be really cool cuz then I could say that I have an Aunt who is a published author. The other cool thing about the story is I'm the main character ^_^ It's actually a really good story, you can ask Sam if you don't believe me, she's read it.

4. favorite RPG character? Sabin (he was incredibly burly)
5. japanese or american RPGs? american RPGs? that's a laugh
6. does it annoy you when the main female character is the stereotypical healer? not really, it just gives me incentive to put her in the party
7. the final fantasy series- RPG god, or highly overrated? Definatley god!
8. final fantasy 8- refreshing change, or unforgivable mistake? it was kinda a refreshing change, but it had its unforgivable mistake moments
9. magic or fighting? the mage is mighter than the sword
10. why does the main guy always carry a huge sword? "penis envy." <--- i'll leave this answer alone like shawn did.

16. long summons or short summons? long on occasion, but short otherwise (a la FF9)
17. 2-D or 3-D? 2D has it's advantages, but 3D is so much better

19. is magus really worth getting? magus is da bomb. he totally rocks!

22. what's your opinion on the undead? give me a phoenix down and i'll battle the undead any day

::sings:: Roll, roll, roll in zie hey

Hee hee hee, now that has to be one of the best excuses I've ever heard Jen when someone tells you to act your age.
Not much going on today, I made two new desktops though. Both War of Genesis, one of which is really red. So if you're into red desktops go for it. I think this puts me at three WoG desktops so far. Eh, oh well. I like them.
Tomorrow (well actually today in about 10 hours or so) Sam and I shall wander into the unknown expanse known only as Lake Oswego. Well ok, so it's not really unknown, but I can't totally navagate around that area yet so it's kinda unknown to me. As long as it gets me away from architecture I'm good.
Thursday, October 4, 2001 NewLayouts all around. Spiffalicious (it's the word of the day).
Not much exciting going on today. Did homework, ate food, went to class. About as exciting as a brick. Although I finally get to start working on the webpage for my Architecture studio (I'm the webmaster hee hee hee). I asked if anyone had any name ideas and no one came up with anything they were totally thrilled with, so I took one of those ideas and expanded on it (with Sam's help). So here is the banner for my Architecture studio:
Kookie ain't it? (FYI my studio instructors name is Cheng, hence the title).

Useless Fact of the Day: The University of Oregon has the second worst housing in the country. (Well ok so it's useless to you people, but to those of us living here it's kinda sucky).

Hee hee hee, sorry Frank you're going to have to ask Sam about that one, it was her comment. I'd tell you but I fear for my life. Gomen nasai.
LOL, ok Jen those Internut pills are hilarious. Where on earth did you find that?
Not a lot else going on today. Slept, went to church, played video games, and did homework. Really exciting ne?

Ok so you may be asking yourself why I'm doing this. . . . . . . ok so maybe you're not, but I'm going to tell you anyways cuz I feel like it. *silence* . . . *thinks* . . . *thinks* . . . I have no idea so don't ask.
I have a nekobus sitting on me right now. No really, I do. It's about yay big *holds out hands* and about yay tall *holds out hands again* and . . . um . . . I got more cards today. Two more boxes in fact. So I can add a few hundred more cards to my collection.
You know Sam (not to be confused with my snake of the same name) is scary. Yes, she is scary, in fact by now I would have normally run away and hid somewhere like . . . *thinks* . . . ummm, far away. But you see I have this master plan, I've befrended her so that when she takes over the world and kills all of the people who annoy her (basically the world) I'll still have a slight chance of being here alive. Well a 1/100000000 chance, but hey it's something. Great master plan huh? I bet right now you're wishing you'd thought of it too, so nyaa *sticks out toung*
Anoo . . . not much exciting going on, but this is like the second Aqua song I've heard in the past *looks at watch* um, 15 minutes, I think.
Action figures are cool. I brought a stormtrooper to my Spacial Composition class today for the specific purpose of acting stupid and making people laugh. It was a success, I even managed to get the GTF to laugh ::alright nekobus you have to move, I can't feel my legs::. It was rather interesting ::stupid wire, stop attacking my foot::.
Darn, I still have homework to do. Well I have time, tomorrow. I hope. Oh and just for your information (cuz I know you really wanted to know this) I have 18.9 square feet of skin covering my body. (The things you learn in ECS).
Hmm . . . lets see if anyone blogged anything interesting today:
nope
nope
Change in layout (very spiffy). Evem, eventhu, ee, eventhough (i, I can't, I can spell really) I can't get to the page as of this moment.
YOU I've already responded too so you don't get anymore for the night. Well, unless I think of something else but, no! (and yes that made no sensei)
You need to blog Shhilhoulettes, my thoughts are slurring now. It's kinda scary.
And now for something completely different: A man with a tape recorder up his nose. (this doesn't make any sense either, but it's actually a response to a comment that was made earlier in the day by someone who shall remain nameless and so none of you will get it. *very passivly* ha, ha, ha.
Hee hee, quite amusing, the Captain Planet thing
You know at this point in time I could probably babble on for a good nother . . . 10 to 15 seconds without realizing that I'm going nowhere very slowly and eveywhere all at once. So in order to save myself the gas money I'm going to rent a bike and bike my way to . . . somewhere else. Yeah, that's it, somewhere else. I hear it's really nice this time of year.
