I am seventeen going on eighteen.

Is that Rolfe's line? What a lewzer.

I was asked for my age twice today. I got a haircut off-base today, and they needed to know my age, in case I was eligible for student discount. Darn it! I hesitantly said jyu-hassai because I didn't know if I was right, but anyway. I had to pay full price. Then I was asked in English, right before using this very computer. She then asked if I had my sponsor. Because they need to make sure, you know. I went to the bank with my mom today, but I came in a few minutes after her. Some lady called me ma'am and asked if I needed help. Ugh. I'm ancient. u____u

My Japanese sucks more than I have previously thought. Would they be offended if I say, "Sumimasen, Eigo o hanashimasu? Watashi wa bakadesu. Gomenasai." (Excuse me, do you speak English? I'm stupid, sorry. Boo hoo.

So far, I've asked if the DVD store had Harry Potter, if the hotel I'm staying at has a public computer, and.... idk. Oh, and I accidentally ate squid yesterday, and the day before that. And today I think I ate tuna. Gawd there's no escaping it! u______u

Anyway, we should ALL come here one day. Next summer?

Oh, and the umbrellas (I almost spelled it like umberella. And now I'm confused) here are nice. If I got everyone an umbrella, do you have a color preference?

L8R!

PS. the "Anonymous" comments are from me.

"One of the ways he foster interaction is through the use of one-minute essays. Near the end of a class, he'll ask his students to summarize the main points of a lecture or discussion, to answer a question he poses, or to ask questions of him. The essays are ungraded, but students are expected to turn them in and Crutchfield reads them." Ooh, Lordy! This class (Criminology, which also includes ass-load amounts of reasing) is going to clean my act up. Probably like Sweet's class. Except I can't kiss-ass and make my way to an A- without doing 81 current events.



Are you excited? I am. Also, where the hell is Toby? And HAHA to Kelly & Ryan. The Office: FTMFW.

ALso: for fun:


PS: I want Jimmy Fallon to be on 30 Rock so he can play Tina Fey's next love interest. IDC if the character of Josh Gerard is loosely based on him. I think MY idea is ftmfw.

College classes aren't classy.
Reslyn | Tuesday, August 28, 2007
Friends, I need help!

So I am looking for another class to add to my schedule. I am going to drop CHEM 110 since it's useless and replace it with another class. I wanted to take CHEM 120, but there's none open. BAHHH! However, I was thinking of taking Intro to Philosophy of Religion, but I don't know. Would that be too boring?

How many credits do you guys have for autumn quarter?

Misha's in Tuesday! and We're in Monday!
Kelsey | Monday, August 28, 2007
I love The New Girl in Town song. I wish they had a white version and a black version instead of mixing them together. wow am I racist? hopefully you know what I mean. Just to explain myself further: I like the black version way better.

We had a free Starz weekend, so i was watching a bunch of recorded movies. I watched Click the other day and cryed my eyes out. It was just better the second time around. Also I watched Pulse with V Mars and Boone it was a lame plot, but nice to see them again.

So an eclipse? big news in these here parts. I might stay up I have a hankering to see it. wasn't there just a meteor shower too? its the end of the world. I hope they don't bring these recent events up in my astronomy class.

ps. Today I recalled a memory that made me laugh. It came in a flash-the baggy olive green oversized t-shirt, long afro-tastic hair, big boy shorts. I was thinking of the Hurley look-a-like at Comicon! That guy...man, he's something else..

Hedwig to Harry: YARLY
Monica | Monday, August 27, 2007
Doing laundry right now. If any of you forgotten, the laundry website is LaundryView.com. Alright? Because I had to be reminded. Also, so you don't get flustered and confused for 5 minutes like I did: before or after you load in your clothes (preferably before because of that sneaky Taiwanese tranny that stole my watch (a 30 Rock quote)), go up to the small card thingy on the wall in front, swipe your card and push in those digits for the machine you'll be using. Also, check which machines are free. Duh. But the card thingy will tell you which are free... Eh, I give horrible directions. Anyway... there you go. Probably the same for the other halls as well. But Terry & Lander have this, like 3-D showing of which machines are free. Cooler than those other halls. HAHA. But the food here does suck, so... Whatever.

I remember which zombie movie freaked me out on TCM. It was Night of the Living Dead, from, like, 1963. It's black and white, I watched this at midnight by myself downstairs last spring. It totally freaked me out. George A. Romano is a freak. And I bow down to his skills of freaking me out. Congrats, old man. Scariest zombie movie I've seen-- and these zombies don't even RUN (ehffing modern CHEATS; that's ehffing CHEATING; don't give me this "rage" crap!)

Anyway. I should have checked this place out for zombie preparations before I moved in. Frak. I need to buy a baseball bat. Or a cricket bat. HAHA. I can always use my lamp before then, but it's got that bendable neck. Hmm... Food for thought. Zombie food. Which are brains. So use them well.

ps. Lunar Eclipse tonight. Don't miss it!

Nihon ni imasu.
Misha | Tuesday, August 28, 2007
So, I'm using a computer at the library. It's sooo hot here. Weather wise, I think LA > Japan. JNSP.

Is there a special dress code here, Monica?

Also, I feel very rude when I'm off base. HAHA.

And they're all made of ticky-tacky and they all look just the same
Monica | Monday, August 27, 2007
You know what? I want to watch the rest of Weeds. I'm watching the first episode of season 3, and it's pretty hilarious. And Zooey is in it! And SHE'S hilarious. Also, I heart Conrad. Maybe season 1 was just bad luck for me. And Jonathan form 30 Rock is in it. He's funny. But Mary Louise Parker's eldest son is a douche and I'd like to shoot him in the head.

How often do you guys fill up your tank for your vehicle? For me it's only a month. I fill it up when its a forth full.

I'll do laundry after... this episode and after I get ice cream and dinner. Maybe.

The end.

Colby Reilly, what a man.
Kelsey | Sunday, August 26, 2007
I just got back from Hairspray & A Mighty Heart on base. Hairspray was so good I had to have it three times. I'll be looking for the tracks online. The second film (with Jolie), I had never heard of, was the story of Daniel Pearl the kidnapped journalist. It was ok but the most excruciating scene was Angelina screaming/crying for a good 3 minutes. Has she ever tried singing? Because that girl can hold a note.

Today I went to the RODEO. I got my wrist stamped "BULLS". Where did all the cowboys come from? You don't see them in the Safeway parking lot or using the crosswalks. The announcer said "Who here listens to CMT?" and everyone clapped. awww. just precious. I am making Hairspray my first priority then country music. There must be songs that I like, besides the "Tear in my Beer" song.

I did some dorm shopping at the fair..got some free pencils, pens, toothbrushes, water bottles. I saw Mrs. Boynton at the Democrats table, she was also at the Democratic convention we went to for school. I bet she's a democrat! but of course. umm. I saw Jenica from band too. She once said I had the right nose for a stud piercing. strange girl.

Misha when can I give you your birthday present? it's lingering. k bye.

The wand chooses the wizard
Misha | Saturday, August 25, 2007
So, I was cleaning out my car, and I found a WAND underneath one of the seats. A WAND. Well, at least it looks like a wand. HAHA. Did someone leave it in my car? Or have I found... the Elder wand?!

My Eyes Are A Little Sweaty Today
Monica | Friday, August 24, 2007
Ok. This is probably one of two things I actually enjoyed Anne Hathaway in, the other being Princess Diaries 1. Maybe 3 things if I watch Becoming Jane. We'll see, Anne Hathaway. We'll see.

Also, mentions of the 6th HP movie are making me, like... Fangirl all over again. The book isn't even in my top 3! Hmm. Maybe it's because of all of the ~*love*~ Or the fact that the cave scenes will blow my mind apart, if DanRad can handle it. I think Michael Gombon can do it, even though he totally doesn't measure up to how I imagined Dumbledore (aka RICHARD HARRIS).

And you know those fashion t-shirts & their HP icon parodies? I made my own for Simon Pegg. I say we make some more. (It's "Hump my leg, Simon Pegg" BTW)

ps. I think I'm going to re-watch The 40 Year Old Virgin. Just for the scene between Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd when they're gaming. HAHAHA. Best scene ever.

pps. If anyone wants to help me bring my laundry back to Seattle on Sunday... you are welcome to do so.

Jacob
Misha | Friday, August 24, 2007
My Lost puzzle is complete. Athankyou Reslyn for completing a lot of it. HAHA. I flipped the puzzle over to see the glow in the dark, only to find that only a fourth of it was glowing. And I couldn't even read it. PFfkhuh. So, I looked it up on Lostpedia, and you only get the entire picture after connecting all 4 of the puzzles. No thnx, bb.

After looking at the puzzle information, I was going through other Lost stuff, and I saw this page about Jacob. It said that if you watch closely, you see Jacob and a "mysterious eye." And I scrolled down and there was this terrifying picture of an eye! It was too scary. I quickly exited and went to OldBoy to type about it. HAHA. I did not see the eye when the episode aired, OR when I was going through the scene to look for Jacob on YouTube. Hmm.

And I watched The Sound of Music today. Luvz it! Now I need to see Marry Poppins. What other childhood movies have I missed out on?

Can you tell me how to get . . . how to get to Sesame Street.
Reslyn | Thursday, August 23, 2007
I hate parallel parking, period. I wrecked my rims. I angered my dad. Road rage on the drive home. And Russell was laughing at me. Worse day ever. Luckily I came home and saw this video on someones myspace . . . and everyone knows I fancy Chris Brown . . . here's a video that I fancy as well. (;



Elmo is so so so funny when he dances. OMG. Hahaha!

Movies to Watch
Ryan | Thursday, August 23, 2007
Just because I need a place to remember the movies I'm excited to see. Woo!

I'm Not There dir. Todd Haynes
A Bobby Zimmerman biopic starring Cate Blanchett, Heath Ledger, Christian Bale, Richard Gere, Ben Whishaw and Marcus Carl Franklin -- all as Bobby Z., his ~*bad*~ self? Not only that, but it's directed by the same guy who made Far From Heaven, arguably the best movie Julianne Moore has been in to date? Definately a must-see.



The Assasination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford dir. Andrew Dominik
I love the title because it's so long. Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck star. All I'm going by is the title and the seriously beautiful trailer but I think it'll be amazing. I've heard it's 3 hours long, though. Might make or break it.



Lust, Caution dir. Ang Lee
Ang Lee + Tony Leung = Greatness. The movie received an NC-17 rating from the MPAA and Focus Pictures has agreed to present it with the rating regardless. Stupid MPAA. Oh well, Midnight Cowboy and Requiem for a Dream did fine even with the MPAA rating them severely.



Atonement dir. Joe Wright
Joe Wright's second movie after THE Pride and Prejudice. Keira Knightly stars once more, and hopefully he gets the best out of her instead of the blah-ness she has in other movies. Also starring is James McAvoy, who you probably know as Mr. Tumnus or as the guy who ALSO should have been nominated for The Last King of Scotland, but I digress. Based off Ian McEwan's novel of the same name, which coincidentally I checked out from the library 2 years ago, only to forget it on a bench outside of school where it got soaked when it rained. I had to pay for a new book but got to keep the old, wrinkly one. Still haven't read it. Oh well -- but the trailer looks RAVASHING, dahling.



See also:
+ There Will Be Blood dir. P.T. Anderson, he of Magnolia and Boogie Nights greatness, starring The Great Daniel Day-Lewis (trailer)
+ The Darjeeling Limited dir. Wes Anderson, he of The Royal Tennenbaums, starring Jason Schwartzman, Adrien Brody, and Owen Wilson (trailer)
+ The Orphanage dir. Sergio G. Sanchez, a Spanish entry for the Palme d'Or this year, produced by Guillermo Del Toro (director of Pan's Labyrinth). A thriller akin to Pan's, but more contemporary and more realistic -- think Garcia Marquez. (trailer)
+ Margot at the Wedding dir. Noah Baumbach, he of The Squid and the Whale, starring Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Jack Black
+ Across the Universe dir. Julie Taymor -- looks interesting, though an little too, I dunno, waxy? Something says to me it'll be overly melodramatic. Can be spectacular or could completely bomb. Still interesting, though. Starring Jim Sturrgess and Evan Rachel Wood, the OTHER 3-named actress I mix up for Jennifer Jason Leigh. (trailer)
+ Sweeny Todd dir. Tim Burton -- although Hairspray is probably going to be my "best musical of 2007," or of the decade for that matter, and although Across the Universe may or may not be a musical (I hope it is), I'm feeling up for this musical about the Demon Barber of Fleet Street, starring Johnny Depp and Bellatrix Lestrange Helna Bonham Carter.
+ The Kite Runner dir. Marc Forster, purely for word-of-mouth, since I've never read the book, nor have I seen Finding Neverland or Stranger Than Fiction, both directed by Forster. Everyone tells me the novel is amazing so I'd be willing to watch it with them. (trailer)

P.S. I absolutely HATE when trailers use the voiceover guy from The Kite Runner Trailer. Way to make every little thing sound ~*INTENSE*~, guy. NOT!

boring story alert-->

okay I had a weird thing this morning. so I'm just sleepin in me bed and all of a sudden, Kiley hands me the phone and my dad is on the line and he wants me to go upstairs and get 200 dollars out of an envelope in his room. so i say, "yeah yeah wat eva" and go to sleep. then Kiley comes in and wakes me up again asking about money. so i called my dad back because I wasn't sure if the 200 dollars was a dream or not. then Kiley took the money and went to MAZE DAY. end of story.

its weird I convinced myself it was a dream.I look like a lazy high school graduate. why couldn't Kiley get it herself?
---
umm..what else.. I was sitting here typing and a spider dropped down on a string slowy towards my left hand. so I got a shoe and SMASHED its spider head. my ego was pretty big after that. So as I moved the shoe towards the trash the spider's string tugged the spider off of the shoe, it swung low under my desk, and it disappeared. It could under me right now waiting for me to put my feet down, so it can bite my toe. guess its too late to vacuum. when I die, who will I give my AOL collection to?

There Ain't No Party Like My Nana's Tea Party
Monica | Wednesday, August 22, 2007
Ughhhh... When I get home, I am going to drown myself in Lysol. On the bus ride back to Lander, some gross hobo sat next to me. Should I not be rude and stay or should I move because he stinks? Later on I realized I should have moved. Caring for my health is far more beneficial to my body and soul than caring about rudeness. Seriously. I might just go home to the doctor and get tested for any venereal diseases. Lord, I ask: have mercy on me.

Anyway, after class, a girl from Hawaii came up to me and we walked to Mary Gates to get pizza. She left for the bathroom with another classmate and I got my pizza. As I walked out, who else but April called my name! I said I'd wait for her outside, so I went and sat on the bench. I ate my pizza and saw someone from CK who was not the person you guys are friends with on facebook and I was all: "SIGH." I'm just never going to get away... I'm totally going to watch to go abroad now. After I take Italian. Anyway, I saw April coming out of the building, but she went to the right instead of left, so I left to see if I could catch the 12:38 bus at 11th & 45th. Did not make it. So I took the 67, where the bus driver actually smiled. Also, he was a young driver, which is rare in young people these days. I should know: I'm 1000 years old.

The bus stopped at the Target in Northgate, so I got off to go to Best Buy and look for headphones. None. Left. Went to busstop again. Took the 1:51 on the 66 and drove to the ferry. The nearest stop by Lander leaves at 2:15. I think we got tto the terminal by 2:40, so I went inside and bought a ticket at a kiosk. Then I watched people run to the gates. HAHA. People are funny. Anyway, both ferries left and some security guard was sweeping the place with a broom. He told me I didn't have to get up. But then he looked under the table and said in his thick accent: Nevermind, you do. HAHA. Then he left and he walked back with this guy who looked in his 20's. And the guard was all: "Do you have your ticket already? Because I found one. It's still good. You can use it." Aww. How sweet. I need to make friends with this old man.

Then I took the 66 back to campus. Two annoying teens who wouldn't STFU! And then gross hobo. I don't even... Ugh. SO gross.

Got off at the stop where I started at. So then, I walked back to Lander. Then I went to the bathroom and washed my leg and arm that he was next to. I was wearing a skirt, BTW. UGGHHH. I'VE GOT THE STD's/Meningitis!!!! I feel unclean!!!

Yummy Bites takes Husky Cards. So... That's where I'll be.

PS: I told my sister about the porn guy on Adium last night. She dared me to write on his white board telling him to refrain from sharing his limewire. Which I think I'll do. When everyone is gone. PPS: Some skinny-jeans kid who was locking up his bike was singing Bob Dylan really loudly. And he didn't even have earbud in his ears! HAHAH!

I have officially lived in Washington for half of my life. Old.

Anyway, when I go to Japan next week, I'm hoping to stop and ask someone what time it is. HAHA. I'd ask for directions to somewhere, but... time is easier to understand.

I need everyone's address, so I can send a postcard or something. Yeah? You, too, Britney-Lindsay-Paris if you're reading this.

- Meningitis is a horrible, horrible disease
- Drink alot of water, AVOID KIDNEY STONES. First hand accounts say that they hurt so bad, no one would wish it on their enemies.
- Old Boy is watching you. Stay true to the OB code of honour.


Hmm. I have been watching 30 Rock & Man vs. Wild since 4. Hmmm. I should read some packets. Also, the friends of my roomie are taking this class called: "The Creative Process" and they said it was like... yoga everyday and their "final" is an interpretive dance. Wow. And when they had to present themselves on the first day, they had to do a small dance to match their name. One of them did the robot. I'd do the robot. Or Elijah Wood's Puppet Dance. HAHAHA. I would watch Yo Gabba Gabba. If I were on crack.

So, is bus 66 at 11th & 45th? Oh, how far. :/ Tomorrow, I'm going to do a practice run to catch the bus. See how long it takes me to get to the stop. Stretch a little before I leave class. Wear some sweats. Then time how long the bus will reach the terminal and if it gets there by 12:45. Then after that, I guess I'll go back to the dorms, leave my backpack and then... venture around campus, taking pictures and time myself how long it takes for me to reach places.

Also, when I come back home, I'm going to practice my fake-amused-laugh. I find it works with people. Also, in my class we're learning about "psychophyisics" or... something. Yes, physics made me psycho. SUCK ON THAT!! YEYEYEYEYE!!

Happy National Homeless Animals Day!
Kelsey | Monday, August 20, 2007
actually, that's probably not a happy event.

Well I vowed to start typing in here more often. so..
Today I woke at 12. ate cereal. played solitaire. did the dishes. Kiley made Nick and I pancakes. I wanted to run at the track but there is RJH football tryouts. They have new PE clothes, gray shirts / red shorts. So I just walked max in reslyn's neighborhood. Then I picked my mom up and we went to Brem commissary. Now I'm going to watch Zodiac. What a lazy monday.

EFS: a prologue / chapter 1
Monica | Monday, August 20, 2007
It is currently 905 PM and I am alone in my dorm. People are probably out or hanging in their rooms as well, except everyone else has a three-person dorm and would have at least another person in the room. Being alone in the dorm makes me feel weird. Like one of those 30-year old gamers wo live in their mom's basement and rarely goes out. And is often refered to their username instead of their Christian name, which is only used by their mothers. Anyway, which person would I be? The Hermit?

The meeting was dumb. Blah blah don't go out alone, always lock your rooms. Kthnx. Then I got a turkey sandwich from that place. Eh. I should have been more prepared to go here. Ok. This week made me realize I am dumb. Dumb!

Necessary Shiz (That Monz forgot)
- Socks
- Paper
- Pencils
- Tape-
- Tacks
Hangers
- Tall Storage (when mother comes back so she can drive me)
- Chair Cushion
- Pre-made sandwiches
- Bottled water / Brita filter
- Waterproof bag.

I'm going to die a horrible death. By meningitis.

------
Next Day...

Finished first day of class. It turns out that I have to buy one of those expensive headphones, like BOSE. Eh. Also, walking back to the dorms, I met up wit one of my classmates and she's going to Target to get hers. So I will follow suit. In class, we did some experiments, like have someone sit in the middle of the classroom and we'd all surround them and make noises, and see if they can pinpoint our location. Anyway, I'm in my dorm now and I think my next-door-neighbor is listening to the Rolling Stones. TURN THAT DOWN! 

Oh, and I took a shower lst night at 10-ish. And when I got out, I overheard another girl tell her friend: "That is the most uncomfortable shower I've ever had in my life." True that, sister! The edges of the curtains were slightly open and I kept trying to close it and cover myself at the same time. And it's effing dark. Usually my showers I can see where my soap is. Also, I need a bigger container for my shower things. Also, my roommate must have experience with this because she brought a sling bag to put her clothes in. All I had was my backpack. So, I think I'll add to that list: a waterproof bag. Also, I did not know where to change. I didn't want to walk all the way back to my room down that long-ass corridor, naked and only covered by a soping wet robe. Ehff no. So I changed in the shower because I was still wet from the steam. Ehhhhhhhghhhh. So... I have to practice or something.

Also, it's raining and I did not pack for rainy season. Oh, Seattle, why must you torture me so! I'll probably just wait until I go back home to get my hobo jacket, orget a cheap one at target. I also need more pillows, the egg-shell thing so I can use my blue blanket... And maybe ear muffs because them buses are annoying. That's all for now.

Um... I've got this person's limewire on my iTunes. And I've got to say that this kid needs to get out or something. And I quote: "Look At This Porno". I'm living with creeps.
