To this day, I cannot figure out how we got a 1000lb furnace into the back of one of our work trucks...without anybody breaking their back.

Insane.

And 120 gallon water heaters are huge! Why would you need one that big for a condo?!?

Man, the stuff I see at work...makes me want to become a minimalist.

So here's the situation...

Boy and girl, (who have a kind of working/flirting relationship) are at work, they go to lunch. Girl offers to pay for her part of the bill, but boy takes check and pays for both. Girl is both surprised, and a wee bit flattered.

*Fast forward a week*

It's lunch time again, and boy and girl are out eating lunch together...again, except this time, there's two more coworkers along. Bill comes, everyone reaches for money, but boy from last week tells everyone he'll pay for it. The three (2 boys and same 1 girl) are very surprised. And girl is again, a wee bit flattered. :)

So, should girl look into this more? Or is boy just being uber nice?

Oh, and damn the summer for being almost over. Where did it go!?

Four Places I Would Rather Be Right Now: Oh good question...a farm? I don't know, I'm not really that imaginative right now... CT has drained the life energy out of me and made me cray-z. So yeah, a farm...preferably with horses.


**On another totally different note...why do the females of our species (myself included) feel the need to bitch about everything?! All I'm sayin' is that in volleyball the difference between passing right and passing middle is a few feet...why make a big deal out of it?! It's not like you were passing anywhere near the middle anyways!

Fuckin' A man, I swear...do people need the drama so they just cultivate it out of the most mundane shit?

Haha cultivate...I don't know where I pull this from.

You know, I hate being so practical. So pragmatic, so...too smart for my own good. At some points in time, I wish that I wasn't blessed with this wonderful Jiminy Cricket of a conscience that I have come to own. Too much thinking, too much pondering...of the now, of the future...and of everything that falls in-between.

Too much thinking that never results in me doing anything.

*sigh*

It sucks to be smart...nothing surprises you anymore. You realize how most situations will end, or that there really is no future for that certain lifepath...which then leads to wondering if the heartbreak will be worth it after all is said and done.

I guess there is only two ways to find out...jump or don't jump. It's the choice...and I really should pick one instead of sitting on the fence the entire time.


Ah well, I'm just being a bit melodramatic. Melodramatic Musings...that should have been the title to this thing...because that's all it was.

Blaaaaaaah.

(I don't update for almost a year, and this is the best I got? I know I know...I'm workin' on it!)

I could babble about how I got a $200 tennis racket for Free 99, but that would just make ya jealous... :)

Well, Girl Potato and Boy Potato

had eyes for each other,

and finally they got married,

and had a little sweet potato,

which they called 'Yam.'

Of course, they wanted the best for Yam.

When it was time,

they told her about the facts of life.

They warned her about going out

and getting half-baked,

so she wouldn't get accidentally mashed,

and get a bad name for herself like

'Hot Potato,'

and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots.

Yam said not to worry,

no Spud would get her into

the sack and make a rotten potato out of her!

But on the other hand

she wouldn't stay home

and become a Couch Potato either.

She would get plenty of exercise

so as not to be skinny

like her Shoestring cousins.

When she went off to Europe,

Mr. and Mrs. Potato told Yam

to watch out for the hard-boiled guys from Ireland. And the greasy guys from France

called the French Fries.

And when she went out west,

to watch out for the Indians
so she wouldn't get scalloped.

Yam said she would stay on

the straight and narrow and wouldn't associate
with those high class Yukon Golds,

or the ones from the other side of the tracks

who advertise their trade

on all the trucks that say,

'Frito Lay.'

Mr. and Mrs. Potato sent Yam to Idaho P.U.

(that's Potato University)

so that when she graduated

she'd really be in the Chips.

But in spite of all they did for her,

one-day Yam came home and announced

she was going to marry
Tom Brokaw.

Tom Brokaw!

Mr. and Mrs. Potato were very upset.

They told Yam she couldn't

possibly marry Tom Brokaw

because he's just.......

So I'm back...from Outer Space...

Or Connecticut, depending on what story you heard...but yeah, Fall Semester has officially begun since my ass is back at Eastern. Oh yeah.

Not really looking forward to class...since I'll be in it alllllllll day...but it is nice to just go about and do my own thing without having to answer to anybody. I luv ya mom, but really.

Um, other than that, the drive sucked, Gas prices suck more...but definitely unpacking sucks the most. I LOVE climbing 3 flights of stairs over and over and over again.

So yeah, I don't really have much more to say...I feel like taking a nap now (since I can do that)...yeah...a nap sounds good...

Peace.

I'm just posting this so I can look back later and be like "WTF?! UK plays tennis!?"

hahahahahahaha

No, no, for real, just for memories purposes...

Here's my final CT entry for awhile...I leave town tomorrow and head to Frostburg Maryland where I'll spend the night...then head to EKU on Friday...and unpack...fun is.

So yeah, where did this summer go? Oh that's right...it was lost in the humidity that made Connecticut feel like a tropical rainforest (with random ghettos placed every few miles)...what a summer to pick to do manual labor huh? I really don't remember the summers being so humid...it felt like I was still down south. Oi.

I can't really complain though...I did have a pretty good time these past three months...I worked a lot...made a good amount of money (at least I think so...it's something to build on to say the least)...I've collected furniture to outfit my future apartment (for FREE I might add)...learned life lessons in more ways than one...and I've got to see the Ritz and glamour of CT...as well as the ghettos. I'm a well rounded child now...in more ways then one (damn the free food!)

On the flipside though...I have gone completely retarded...this job required NO brain power whatsoever except for figuring out how to fit a chair/fridge/couch etc through a small doorway. Woohoo, 18 credit hours and the UWR here I come!

I'm gonna miss mah coworkers though...what a motley crew we were. Keith (who was technically my boss...but you would never know it)...the 'Valley Soldier' (he unfortunatly was orginially from Ansonia, CT...and Ansonia just plain SUCKS) who is an animal loving vegetarian who hates trees...he reminded me of the character House in a lot of ways (just without the medical knowledge) sarcastic as frell...and just when you want to bitchsmack him, he'd be cool. Then there's also his sarcastic sense of humor and cigarette addiction...as well as the slight limp he developed at some point. Gregg, meet Keith...Keith Gregg...I'm sure you'll have a lot to talk about.

Andy and Andrew were my two favorites...best friends since like age 2...(Andy's real name is John, but that's his dad's name and he doesn't want to be called that or something...so he goes by Andy his middle name...yeah, I don't know either)...these two were a hoot. Andy was the goofball who liked to listen to Big D 103 (oldies station) and sing along (It's the age of Aquarius!!) and was just a cool kid. Andrew was the flirt who asked a lot of questions...and who really didn't know anything about sports (so there went his chance...).

Matt the Marine was/is crazy and needs a new fiancee. That's all I'm sayin. And he needs to stop being crude too. I know guys are perverted, but can you keep it to yourself at least some of the time? Oh, and I swear that he thought that if he wasn't 'engaged'...that I would totally be all over him. *eye roll* Please boy...you're the same height as me, you're crude...and you smoke, and you're crazy. I'm sorry but I would have to say no...because ya know...I've got standards.

Moving on.

Franco--hilarious. He could do great impressions...and he didn't look older than me, but alas he was 23. Swear he looks like he's 17.

Chad--had crazy hair that I never saw until we stopped at his apartment one day...wait that sounds bad. Let me go back for a second...Matt and I (Matt is BFF with Chad (heh)) stopped at Chuckie's (nickname) apartment one day cuz we were bored. Lo and behold, Chad AND his hair answered the door. I never knew a ball cap could hide something like that. Chad was cool, is a contracter on the side, and I never really worked with him since he only worked on Saturdays and Mondays (and I didn't work on Mondays)...but what I garnered from our limited time together, he seemed cool.

Eric--skinny as a rail (but had nice arms I must say)...but I have to say he was the strongest pound for pound out of all of us...he seemed aight. He was funny too...came up with "Manoobies and Boy Boobii" (we were waaaay early for a job and we saw a dude with man boobs, and I made the commment that I call them "Moobs"...and blah blah blah later it became Manoobies.) Oh, and great times with the Pumpkin Loaf...

Jason--I must say, I loved him...if only he wasn't married. Heh. I'm no homewrecker dammit! But no, he was just awesome...and one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. The Newtown Big Y will always be our place...and Mary the cart girl still makes me laugh to this day. "I Comma RETARD" would be a great movie, I'm tellin' ya. Oh, and did I mention he saved my life? Heh. Driving on the highway through Waterbury, our truck blows a rear tire and decides to skip over a couple o' lanes...thankfully Jayce got the truck under control without taking anybody out...and we puttered to the safety of the Brass Mill Mall and it's parking lot...where we got to meet "Marv" (named after the character in Sin City...I should have taken a picture of this guy, you would've agreed with me...) who changed our blowed out tire for us. Good times. (and as luck would have it, we ran into Marv on my second to last day...and I was with Jay again...so we gave him a toy Got Junk truck for his kid...which made me ask silently...'He was able to fornicate with somebody?!'

And that leaves Juan...good ol' Juan the Puerto Rican who got fired about 2 weeks before I quit. He was abrasive, sweated a LOT and was really lazy...but when he left, there was nobody to make fun of except Matt...which was kind of a downer. At least when he got the axe he didn't come and take the copper like another former employee did. I'm still not over him getting like 5 tennis rackets and a hundred tennis balls...why couldn't I have worked that job? I at least play tennis.

*grumble grumble grumble*

Ha ha, yeah I forgot to mention Paul, the owner. "Caw-Caw!" Yeah, that's all you need to know. (I'm getting really tired of typing...)

So like I said before, this was just an entry for memories keepsake...so I can look back on it in a few months and remember what I had to put up with this summer (did you notice I was the only girl?! And NO, I'm not butchy thankyouverymuch.) But they made it interesting you know? And now it's like I have 8 older bros (would have been 9 if I knew where Juan was...oh well) who'll back me up...and that's cool yo. Did I mention that like 5 of them are Italian? So one of them has to have connections...has to. Franco maybe?

Heh.

Just a quick update as usual: I got a job...I've worked the job...and I've made money. Woo HOO too that I tell ya. I also aquired a mint condition record player...free...because of this job. It also comes with an AM/FM radio and an 8-track player...which I so need since all I listen to are 8-tracks.

Right.

But yes, a record player from like the early eighties that apparently was never used...it's awesome...now all I need is some 33s and 45s...since all I have is one (Billy Joel 52nd Street). Ebay here I come!

Not much else is going on...I'm getting fatter as the minutes tick by, this is so not cool. Damn me and my slow metabolism and hungry hungry hippo diet.

So I ganked the title from ESPN...so what?

Anywho: I'm home in CT for the summer, my comp works, I have a job (wow, I'm already doing a helluva lot better then last year)...and I get to see the Cos again!

Oh and yeah, we got our grades already...frelling B in Health...haha like I should complain. The amount of effort I put into that class was zero to nil, so eh, I deserve the B. ('Least the last test didn't frell me up to bad eh?)

I at least take satisfaction in knowing that I'm done with HPRs and HEA for good. And I also take satisfaction (and am a little scared by it), that after next semester, I only need 34 credits to graduate. That's scary too me...I felt like I would be in school til the End of Days the way I was going...but no, there it is...a year and a half away. And it's slightly freaking me out.

But yeah, grades? 2 B's and 4 A's...I kicked booty (except in Health of course...but I definitely will take that B in Math considering the first result of the class haunted me until yesterday)...I got my A in Ethics (I have no idea how...goooo Human Rights!), A in Aerobic Walking (phew, I would have a hard time explaining anything lower than that), A in Social Psych (woo! I kick arse in Pyschology) and my A in Spanish...and they didn't give me my three extra credits...dammit people, I didn't stress about getting an A for my health...gimme my extra credits.

*sigh*

I'll call them later...but I'm gonna go back to being the amoeba that I was...and watch me some Farscape...because I'm a major geek...and because Ben Browder is way hott.

(Sidenote: It's Tuesday! Do you know what that means? Because I do...)

Peace. 3.58 baby! Schtick that in your pipe and smoke it.

I really need to update this thing on a more regular basis. I feel like I need to recap months at a time every time I post...since I haven't really said what I've done this semester.

But oh well, tonite won't be the night I do that. *shrug*

I don't know if I'm just being overly dramatic...but something's changed within the past two weeks or so. I don't know if it's due to outside reasons beyond my control, or that I'm in some sort of relapse...but something has definitely changed.

I'll just focus on going home I guess.

Because I'm bored...and hopped up on caffeine at the moment...



Who was the last person you added to your friends list and why did you add them? Erm...yeah I have no idea. I added a fellow House fan to my IM though, does that count?

• If you could add one word to the dictionary, what would it be? Titchy. Why? Well A.) Say it, it's funny (not as good as Wookie, but what are ya gonna do...)...and B.) I already have a definition...It's a combination of being 'touchy' (as in being overly sensitive to jokes made about you or something) and 'mitchy' (as in just being a biotch). Titchy. It's the new carp.

• Which are you more guilty of: celebrity crushes or online crushes? Celebrity. As evidenced by today when I couldn't say two words to profootball players. But Bob walked right behind us! That's gotta count for something right? (So what if I turned the wrong way...he walked right behind us!)

• In what way do you feel misrepresented online? I didn't know I did...Am I supposed to? Because you know, I have this amazing ability to type how I talk...so when you see acronyms...

• List three of your OCDs. If you're too much of a liar to admit you have three, make some up.
1) I have to either put stuff in chronological order, or alphabetize it...or both.
2) I am overly supersticious...and I probably just spelled that word wrong...
3) If I own a collection of something...it has to be uniform...like with my John Grisham collection...all have to be either softcover or hardcover...and the covers have to be the same artwork design...or else it bothers me to no end.

• If you were homosexual for a day, who would you gay out with? Angelina Jolie

• What does everyone else think is hot snot that you just don't see the attraction to? [F]Ugg boots. They are NOT attractive people. I don't care if a celebrity wore them...just take a look at yourselves! What the frell makes you think wearing boots with a skirt is attractive?

• If you could erase one musical style from history, what would it be? Er...none? I don't like some musical styles...but I wouldn't erase it...because other people need their weird ass music too...

• In an odd twist of fate, you are about to be blinded or deafened and you get to pick. Deaf. Everyone mumbles anyways, so it's not like you can understand anything...and I like my blue eyes!

• When it comes to physical attraction, do you prefer cuteness or hotness? Well, I'd prefer sexiness over both...but if I had to choose...I'd probably say 'hotness' since you know, one of our nicknamed boys is actually named HotBoy...and I reeeeeeallly like him. Well, I reeeeeaallly like looking at him. Because you know his aesthetic value is pretty high...("I can play that game too!")

• If you could make Dubya change one decision he's made so far in office, what would it be? (and you can't say being re-elected or running or anything smartass like that.) Fix this damn oil fiasco. Or fund some research to make a car that gets 200 miles to the gallon. This whole situation is ridiculous.

• If you had children, would you prefer them to grow up smart and miserable or dumb and happy? dumb and happy I guess...because miserable people are miserable to be around ya know? And I would look that much smarter by comparison (I'm kidding on that one...kids are a reflection of their parents...)

• What's the weirdest food that you like? I don't like weird food per se, but I like odd combinations...bagels and corn anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

• If someone would give you complete financial backing to start your own company, what type of business would you start? Un Resteraunte!! Me and Mama Lis yo. If this whole FBI thing doesn't work out...watch out.

• Would you rather be burned alive or skinned alive? Burned. Because I had to choose one and that's what eeney meeny miney moe gave me.

• If you could master two foreign languages, which would you choose? Spanish so I can get my A's...and Arabic so I can make a shitload of money from the government.

• What word or phrase makes you shudder? Bitch. It's so...harsh. Use 'mitch' or 'titchy'...because it's the new carp.

• List three pet peeves.
1. People who keep sniffiling, but don't get a tissue when one's available.
2. Fake n Bake tans. Although I won't look like a wrinkled prune when I'm 30...
3. people who talk down to you...when they're going to a Star Wars convention...what am I making that too personal?

• What wrongdoing do you find hardest to forgive? Adultery. Because...yeah...I'm not going into that.

• Complete the following statement: I feel my most prissy when...I'm wearing a turtleneck and/or black pants.

• What is your greatest life accomplishment to date? Either continuing horseback riding after almost dying...or returning to college after taking a semester off.

• Would you rather be George Washington's wig or Thomas Jefferson's wig? TJ's wig...because...because...I had to chose...and I did a report on Jefferson once...so me and him are like this...

• If you had to give up your favorite food or your favorite cd, for the rest of your life, which one would you give up? The CD, since I can always find another one...and dangit I'm a hungry hungry hippo, don't take my food away from me!

• What's your favorite palindrome? War sir is raw.

• If you could meet anyone on your friends list that you've never met, who would it be? Any one of 'em? I don't have favorite... :)

• (Optional) Smokers: Menthol or Regular? None. Don't smoke people...it's killing me.

Like the title says... I found this news out Friday afternoon...but I got Indianapolis Colts Season Tickets!!!!!!!!

Section 339
Row 24
Seats 5 and 6

I am STOKED beyond belief...you have no idea. Even though I wish I was a couple rows down (who doesn't?), I seriously thought I was gonna get corner seats at best...but I got these. Section 339...behind the opposing bench (which means I get a front view of the Colts Bench...and I don't need the ref facing us when they call a penalty (yay for football knowledge!))...but section 339 also is on the 40 yard line. The 40 freakin' yard line! If I knew how to put pictures into my posts I do that to show...but bah, I'm an idiot, so I can't right at this moment.

(This is the same person who just figured out how to make screencaps like two days ago...I'm seriously behind.)

But yeah...I got tickets I got tickets I got tickets...is it football season yet?

So yesterday...it was pretty good too me...so I wanna write about it...so when I have a bad day or something, I can read this and be like "Awww...why does my life suck today?'

Anywho...the way it started off, I thought it was actually going to be a horrible day.  See, on Tuesdays and Thursdays my first class is at 11am (and on MWF, my first class is at 1115am), and for some reason every now and then I think that I don't have to leave for my 11am class...until 11.  (I apparently think my entire week starts at 1115...oi.)

Hey, I'm a blonde.  Shuddup.

So yeah, yesterday...was one of those days...so I meander down the stairs out into the great outdoors, and realize that there is like nobody walking around.  The 'd'oh!' smacks me so hard on my head that I almost get a concussion...so I take off at a very fast paced walk (like I'm gonna run in khakis...pshaw.)  Oh yeah, in addition to running late, I'm supposed to take a test in this class...so A.) I'm late for a test...and B.) Since I'm taking a test all I have with me is a pencil and my vocab that I've studied off of.

So there I go, powerwalking through campus to the Combs building...and run up the stairs (fastest I've ever climbed four flights in my life).  Turn the corner in the hallway, and actually meet up with a fellow classmate (yay, I'm not the only late one!)...and we walk into class.  First thing I noticed was that nobody was hunkered down over their desks taking a test.  The second thing I noticed was that the desk I had to sit in...was waaaaay to small for me. (We are crammed in like sardines in that room...I hate it). 

So I sit down...and realize that we're actually learning new material today (On Attractiveness...this is a Social Psych class...and the lecture yesterday was actually pretty interesting...if anyone has to take a Psych class...take that one.)  So I'm sitting there wondering to myself why there's no test...because you see, I was a juvenile deliquent and didn't attend last Thursdays class.  Oops?

So my imagination takes off on me...with thoughts ranging from the panicked 'Maybe they took the test Thursday?!' to 'Maybe class was cancelled on Thursday...and I got a free absence...schweet.' to 'Maybe there is no test...like in the Matrix...there really is no spoon.'

Alas, it was none of those.  Come to find out that last Thursday, out of the 40 (or so) students that are in this class...6 showed up.  Who knew 33 other people had the same idea?  That's crazy.  But yeah, 34 or so aren't there, and the Prof didn't even write up the test to review over.  So test on Thursday. 

Moving on to my next class...I actually had to run back to the dorm, because like I said, I only had my vocab and a pencil on my because I thought I was taking an exam...and thus would get out early.  I book it upstairs grab my backpack and bag for Aerobic Walking...and leave the dorm out the back door.  Take about 5 steps away (just far enough to get out of the way of the door to let it close and lock behind me), and then realize that I had forgotten my cellphone (not that I actually needed that) and a 'beater to change into for Aerobic Walking.  Oi!  So I have to walk back around to the front door to get in...

So I walk fast (Again, no running...still in khakis) and finally get into the building.  Climb the stairs to get to the 3rd floor...and after waiting for my roomie to open the door...grab a 'beater and my phone.  It's now 1225 and my class starts at 1230. 

Ok, so I'm back outside behind the dorm with all my stuff that I need and I cut through the Clay/Employee parking lot.  On the way past Clay I hear a "Whoowoow" or something to that nature (*fillincatcallhere*).  I don't turn...a second later I hear a "Hey!"...so this time I turn.  When I look over I see at least two guys...and maybe a girl (?)...one of the guys waves (I seriously think it was the Faux-Nigel)...and I wave back...and continue on my way.  Sorry, couldn't stop...I gotta get to class!

Again, climb 4 flights of stairs...and actually enter class right behind the Prof.  Goooo me...khakis and all.  So now I'm in PreCal...and hot as hell since I've been bookin' it.  (It was 75 yesterday...and gorgeous.)  For like the first 10 minutes I sit there trying to cool down...and vaguely follow along to the lecture since it's on Trig, and I actually know Trig...it's the whole calculus thing I don't get.

Anywho:  We continue with putting problems on the board...and I actually raise my hand to do one (which is a big thing since I'm hardly ever confident in my math skillage).  So blah blah blah, I put up my answer...and all the work...and sit back down.  We go over the 5 or 6 problems that have been put up, and I get a 'good job' on mine...too which I silently beam.  The next round of problems I raise my hand again (again, another first)...and the Prof was like 'you know you're stuff don't you?  But you already volunteered...' and he goes and picks someone else.  Oh fine. 

Blah blah blah, lecture continues...and then he's like 'Do number 31 and 33 and you won't have any homework.'  So I commence on both problems...finish them, check the answers in the back of the book so I know I did my work right...and sit there.  He then asks for more volunteers...and somebody actually volunteers for 31...and then I volunteer for 33.  Again, he was impressed...and he also said I should do it since my picture drawing skillage (ok, he didn't say skillage...but blah) is pretty good.  Go me, I can draw right triangles. 

So yeah, anyways...Us volunteers go do the problem...get them right, and the class has no homework.  Schweet.

So Math Class was actually a success for once in my life. 

Moving on to Health...not so much happening there...had a guest speaker about death and dying...so that made me oh so cheery afterwards.

After Health was Aerobic Walking...Shorty and I change into 'beaters and shorts (the first time this year we've rocked shorts in class...it's a big step)...and we go meet up with class.  Nothing of note happened that I can remember...although I did find out that there is a "Woodchip Trail" across the bypass. It's actually made of woodchips, whodathunk?

Blah blah blah...dinner, uneventful...I fall asleep around 8, thus missing American Idol for the most part...wake up 845, get ready to go work out...and meet up with Shorty.  We've decided to play tennis tonite, so we aren't bringing anything to the gym this time...which is kind of strange since we usually have our raquetball rackets with us. 

Go work out, nothing eventful...except that I think we got the Stank Eye from some girls because we moved a mat over to do sit ups on.  What's up with that?  I have no idea.  I also thought I caught a glimpse of UK playing basketball...but alas, when I looked again, the people were gone.  Maybe I was just hallucinating or something... Heh.  We do our flat bench and leg excersizing (I never know how to spell that word, sorry)...and situps (thus getting the Stank Eye for no reason ("I know you're jealous of our beaters, and my bright green shorts!"))  and then we leave after our daily weigh in.  Shorty loses a pound, I stay the same.  Bah. 

We walk the halfmile back to the dorm, pick up our tennis equipment, and head to the courts behind Martin Hall.  Lo and behold, everyone and their mom is playing tennis.  All 6 courts are taken, and we're kind of bummed/disgruntled.  Because you see, we played tennis like every night last semester, and none of these people were here...Where did they come from!? 

So after waiting for about 15/20 minutes, we finally get a court, and Mario (a friend of Shorty) shows up...which is actually surprising since neither one of us thought he would.  Anywho we start playing...and slowly all the other tennis people leave...and there's only us, two guys playing on the far courts...and two guys playing on the lower courts.  Once the majority of people leave, we put on music...(My mix #5 or #6...starts out with Blur's "song 2" or whatever it's called).  Mario rocks out to the music while sitting on the bench...(we rotated people so he could play)...and when the song switches to 'Chop Suey', the two guys that were playing on the far court...move over to the middle court, and continue to sing with the song.  It was actually pretty funny.  They moved over a court to here our songs...spiffy.

So we continue to play, and I rotate out, so now it's Shorty and Mario playing (well sortof, last night was Mario's first time playing tennis...so we had to take it easy with him...but his learning curve is very impressive I must say...heh).   So I get to be ball girl...which is about as fun as...dirt.  (I really like to play...not chase down shanked tennis balls...)

But anyways...at this time, the last person I ever expected to show up...did.  My back is towads one of the gates to enter the courts, and Shorty goes "Yo veo."  My head snaps up...I look at her, and go"Serious?!" 

Cuz you see...who shows up?  Why UK of course...UK plays tennis apparently...which shocks the hell out of me.  (Still does actually.)  Him and his Other Friend go to the far court where the two guys were initally and start playing.  I'm too busy chasing down strewn tennis balls to watch much (thanks Mario)...until I finally just get too antsy...and basically kick Mario off the court.

I think by this time, the two guys in the middle have left...and for some reason or another UK and the Other Friend move over to the middle court...we don't really know if it's the court that sucked, or they liked the music too...or what...but whateva, I'm not complaining. 

So I step in, and Shorty and I just suddenly start playing kick-ass tennis.  Yes, I'll admit I was trying to impress, but man, we both just hit the zone.  Awesome tennis skillage we have I must say.  However, we didn't stay in the zone for the whole time, and at times...the play got a litte erratic to say the least.  'Least I got to speak to UK when I got the ball back...(big step for me yo).  We know they watched us (wonder what they thought?)...as we watched them sometimes (UK plays tennis?!)...and Mario (who at this point didn't look to good)...just sat and watched all of us.  After about an hour or so (?  I really don't know how long)...Shorty subs herself out and I play against Mario.  He does ok, but eh, it's a nice cool down to say the least.

Anywho, 12:15 rolls around, and we decide to pack it in since the lights supposedly shut off around 1220.  We stop the music and congregate around one of the benches...while putting on sweatpants and packing up the CD player...and that's when UK and the Other Friend decide to pack it in too.  Coincedence?   I don't know. 

They leave, and we still hang out on the court and get into a conversation with Mario about something...that lead to pediddles...that lead to police cars with pediddles...that lead to drunk people in said police car cat-calling at us...that lead to chastity hoodies (Be chaste, wear a hoodie!)... Good times. 

We finally decide to get our arses off the court and head up the hill besides Martin Hall.  Mario lives in Martin Hall...and we offer to walk him to the door...because...we're nice?  Somehow, we never get to the door, but stop on the sidewalk infront of the dorm...and just talk.  About random ass stuff...and watch people in an SUV park right by us...sit in the car for a few minutes...get out of the car and walk down to the entrance to the dorm...then come back like 20 minutes later and get in the car again.  Oh, and one of these people happens to be AfroPuff....who is another story altogether.  When they come back to the SUV, we decide to vamoose, and say goodbye to Mario...and walk back to Burnam.  On the way back, we conclude that AfroPuff while dirty...also falls in the Sticky Ricky category.  Apparently a High AfroPuff...is a Happy AfroPuff...

Yeah I don't know.  And I'm really tired of typing...so I should stop this.  I guess you had to be there in my shoes to experience this day...

But seriously, UK plays tennis????  WTF???

YES...I follow random people around.

Ok, I guess you guys had to be there to see it...but at least I don't fall into garbage cans...and get laughed at by the GymNazi.

No, no...I just follow people. Sporadically.

Heh.

Explain to me this...how is it--that I can purchase two playoff tickets for an NFL game...at face value (through ticketmaster) no questions asked...when I couldn't even get regular season tickets without overpaying waaaay too much?

Life...it works in mysterious ways...as evident by ESPN doing a duel interview with both Dwight Freeney (from Bloomfield, Connecticut) and Kanye West. Dwight and Kanye...together...of all people.

What. A. Coincedence.

Or not really, depends on how much you look into it I guess. Which you know me...

In other news, I'm returning to school this freakin' Thursday...and I am definitely not ready. I have laundry to do! Crispy Chicken wraps from Friendly's to eat! More Mario Kart to play! More cleaning to do! And of course...even more laundry to wash. Oh and packing...which you know, is oodles of fun. *eyeroll*

So on Thursday I must say goodbye again to the rolling hills of asphalt that is Connecticut and hit the highway towards Maryland; and ultimately my goal: Richmond, Kentucky. The Weather Channel says rain...for like the whole eastern half of the country...all week...so driving is going to be fun. "Windsor Waterfalls...We'll Drown Yer Ass!"

I digress...so ya...Kentucky, school...working out...tennis and raquetball...(can't wait til it gets warm again, raquetball just isn't as much fun as tennis...maybe it's the whole social thing...) Blimpie trips to get chocolate milk and catch a glimpse of Fred...or "Square Head Nice Arms" (or depending on who you talk to "Square Arms Nice Head"...HEY! Don't make fun of the dyslexic people...) back to Walmart, expensive ATM fees, and $2 dollar movie rentals. Back to complaining about school, and napping almost everyday...and all that other stuff that comes back with going back to college. :)

But alas, melodramatic that I am...I must say goodbye to having my own room (and own bathroom)...to my videogaming units, DirectTV (with it HDTV), and the coolest cat in the whole world (named Cosmo). There's some other stuff too, but I don't wanna get all mushy.

Heh.

So I started with a question, and now I'll finish with a question...how is it...that a cat knows when you're going to get up...and thus comes over a few seconds before that, and sits on your lap...thus prohibiting you from getting up at your planned time?

It must be some weird sense they have...

Just a quick update since I've been slacking again...

Welp, I'm currently residing back in Connecticut for Xmas break. What fun...it snowed about 5 inches and the temps barely reached double digits today...rock on the Northeast.

Let's see...Finals week went Ok...I'm hesitant to say anything good about it, because for all I know I'm getting all C's back on the report card...too which I'll cry like the little girl that I yam.

But enough about grades...um, the drive home was iight. I don't know how I did it but I missed a highway to take north...and thus kept going east...and ended up in the outskirts of Baltimore...about 50 miles out of the way. I am such a genius sometimes. OH! and I hate Pennsylvania. Always under construction, and nothing ever seems to be finished. I shake my fist at thee PA.

So being home...nothing has really changed, but it's different. I like being home because I have all my stuff here (unlike college where I bring what can fit in the car)...and I like being home for DirectTV...but apart from that, I'd be fine just staying in Richmond for the winter/summer. At least it might be easier to find a job...Oi this econonmy sux arse.

But enough of me babbiling with no point...I'll just end this with the highlight of my vacation so far: We are this close to securing 2 season tickets for the Colts for next year and beyond...I am stoked (no pun intended) beyond belief..WOO!
