Well THIS would suck…
Today I went home and was helping my mom with some surveys she had to send out for the U of I water quality program, and while I was licking the envelopes, I saw the name of this one guy and where he lived:
Harry George
Climax Rd.
Think about that for a minute.
Now laugh.
Man, I’d hate to be this guy interviewing for a job at a top company or something.
~ Interviewer: What is your name, sir?
~ Mr. George: Harry George.
~ Interviewer: And where do you live?
~ Mr. George: Climax Road.
~ Interviewer: Amusing, Mr. George. Now, what is your address?
~ Mr. George:…Climax Road.
~ Interviewer: Look, sir, we don’t have time for this. I have five more potential employees to interview after you. Now please just tell me your address.
~ Mr. George: Climax Road!
~ Interviewer: Okay, I’ve been more then patient with you, Mr. George. We here at Nike do not look kindly upon such adolescent behavior. Please exit the premises.
~ Mr. George: But…but…
Etc.
No offense to you, Harry George, but I would move.
Experiments in social deprivation
Alrighty then. Haven’t seen a single person I know since Monday. Haven’t actually talked to anyone for more than half a minute since Monday.
Goin’ kinda nuts.
I feel kinda like Tom Hanks in Cast Away, except I am not on a deserted island, I don’t have volleyball friend (though I should…Wilson seemed quite intelligent), and I don’t work for FedEx.
Oh. And I’m not Tom Hanks.
It will make a good psychology project. Wilson Syndrome: Social Deprivation Plus Balls.
Hooray!
I love my dorm room. That’s all I have to say.
Oy! Math!
Today’s schedule is the same as Monday’s, except add in Math 143 from 11:30AM-12:20PM. I really have to get my butt moving to make it to the Kibbie Dome. Plus it’s math. Bleh.
Also, why don’t people wear color around here? Everything’s jeans, jeans, jeans! They’re not THAT comfortable. And shirts with brand names scrawled across the front! INDIVIDUALITY, people! You are not a billboard (or…are you? That would explain that board-like shape…).
Okay, I’m done.
Welcome to college. Now don’t screw up (part 2)
Day 2! Tuesday’s and Thursday’s schedules:
~ Theatre 100 (11:00AM-12:20PM)
~ Marching Band (12:30PM-1:20PM)
~ English 102 (2:00PM-3:15PM)
I like this schedule. Theatre is fun, MB is fun, and English rocks the socks right off of a fox.
Tomorrow’s my busy day, though. With math. Evil, evil math.
Welcome to college. Now don’t screw up.
Day 1! Here’s my schedule for today:
~ Psychology 101 (10:30AM-11:20AM)
~ Marching Band (12:30PM-1:20PM)
~ The Sacred Journey (1:30PM-2:20PM)
~ Theatre 105 (3:00PM-4:20PM)
Four classes…not too bad. I’m going to love psychology and marching band and theatre…I’ll try to get through TSJ…I just don’t find religion all that interesting…
Oh well. More psychology credits!
Last day of summer (sorta)
Why, hello!
iF YOU TYPE LIKE THIS, IN ALL CAPS, THEN USE THE “SHIFT” KEY FOR REGULAR CAPITALIZATION, DOESN’T IT LOOK WEIRD? eVERY SENTENCE SEEMS TO BE MISSING A FIRST LETTER. dOESN’T IT? dOES THIS SEEM IMMORAL TO YOU? iT DOES TO ME.
Anyway, college starts tomorrow, and I seem to be the only one who is really freaked out. Are you freaking out? Is anyone even gonna read this?
But I finally got my dorm room all organized…it’s pretty!
What are you at college for?
Okay, so I’m sitting here in my room, wondering what the majority of students are truly here for. From what I’ve overheard so far by various people, here are the percentages I’ve come up with:
– “Forced to go”: 50%
– Socializing/partying: 30%
– To get away from home: 13%
– Actual learning: 5%
– Other reasons: 2%
Does that add up to 100? I’m too lazy to add it up. Anyway, what are you here for? What are your priorities?
Just wondering.
Ow…
My feet hurt from marching!
Plus, I haven’t had much time to organize my dorm room, so it’s still very messy.
And the floor is disgustingly dirty.
Wooo! Marching!!
I’m loving marching band camp so far!
Today, I had practice from 9-12, from 2-5, and from 7-9. And it rocked. I think this will be my favorite class (though I have to get back into marching mode, considering I haven’t marched since a year ago)!
Wee! There are more than 3 clarinetists!
Dorm room?!?!
Annnd…go!
COLLEGE!
Well, not really. First comes the dorm room and band camp.
So I go to Wallace today, a day early, because I am going to be in marching band this year. I love my room–it’s a lot bigger than I remember it from my tour last April.
I pretty much took all my crap and dumped it in there before I went to our first band camp rehearsal–which was freaky weird!
There were actually several people in each section! Weird weird. And Nikki was there, which was cool–hadn’t seen her since elementary school.
But it was fun. I await more band-related fun tomorrow!
Seven butts past November (weird dreams)
Hmm.
Okay. Lately I’ve been having weird dreams that all involve water. What’s up with that? Sometimes it’s rain, sometimes it’s a lake, and once it was a lake with a creepy monster in it (influenced obviously by a preview I saw for “Lady in the Water”).
So I looked up what dreaming about water was supposed to be about, and it all relates to emotions (extreme emotions). Makes sense…college and all. They’ve just been weird.
Cucumbers?!
Short little blog just for E’raina and Amy today!
My dad had a cucumber on the table upstairs.
…
Hehehe…
There’s something magical about those grammatically incorrect directions…
Today my grandma gave me this little clock doodad that she got for free with some sort of thing from PBS.
Anyway, I open it and check out the directions to set it.
Direct quote: “Do not drop down floor. Do not pressure LCD screen.”
I guess I’d better not take this clock to college…it might break from the pressure and fall down floor.
School supplies has been bought, Captain!
Hooray! I now have all my supplies for my dorm/classes/life for the next year! Nervousness ensues. Blogs grow ever shorter.
*Theme from “The Twilight Zone*
Weird thing happened today…
So a couple weeks ago, we go to Mongolian BBQ and I get this fortune which says, “Opportunity is just around the corner”.
We go again today, and I get the exact same fortune!
What’re the odds? Perhaps my opportunity is college.
Or a traffic accident involving a blind corner. You never know.
I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard…
…in my entire life!! That was the best time I’ve ever had with my friends. Here goes the sequence of events:
1. Candida and Shannyn and I wait for Aneel and E’raina and Amy while Aneel picks out a swimming suit.
2. Go up to room and try on sexy lengerie (including Aneel).
3. Get pizza.
4. Get miscellaneous crap from WinCo.
5. Swim swim!
6. Stripping for Shannyn!
7. “Team America!”
8. Get awful news that Aneel has to leave.
9. Aneel vanishes!
…
And now the fun REALLY starts…
So Aneel leaves and Shannyn and Candida go into the other room we rented. This leaves Amy, E’raina and I. We watch some dating shows on TV (including Next), and we ponder pillow fighting, which occurs. As we’re doing this, E’raina starts texting Aneel, asking him…um…”personal” questions while he is desperate for pics of our pillow fights. Then he went to bed cause we wouldn’t give him any pictures.
Then E’raina and Amy were messing around on the beds and then we were all lying in one bed and we started having these conversations about SUBWAY!! We were talking about cucumbers and that led to the best quotes of the night:
-“Crunchatize me, Cap’n!” ~E’raina (this had me laughing for about three hours)
-“Subway…eat fresh!” ~Amy
-“Subway…eat fresh…with Jared!” ~Me
And here are some other fun ones:
-“It’s gettin’ cold in here…so put on all your clothes…” ~E’raina
-“The tusk senses all!” ~Me
Holy crap…we were laughing so hard…then Amy and E’raina started wrestling and I took some photos in the dark, which I have to get developed real soon. I don’ think we had any neighbors, or else we would have gotten kicked out of the hotel.
That was the best night I’ve ever had!!
Turn off the lights! T-t-turn off the lights!
Man, I’m bored. Can you tell? A week from now, I’ll be decorating my dorm room…creepy.
Tonight, however, is my happy party! Hooray!
…

Short blog. 101 is always worse than 100.
Claudia’s 100th blog post!!
Things I did today that had nothing to do with getting ready for college:
1. Thought up quite a few reasons why sex is better than fishing (despite the fact that I am unskilled in both). My best reason was that the concept of “throwing back the little ones” applied to both activities.
2. Realized that this is my 100th post and spent a few minutes re-reading my old ones. What a random little life I lead!
3. Cursed Rube Goldberg for all that I’m worth (which is about $0.75).
4. Lost a considerable amount of time trying to fix our printer when I know good and well that it is the devil.
5. Played with my new Lego friends (Gregory is facing charges of vehicular manslaughter!).
6. Pondered who came up with that damn “when a tree falls in a forest…?” question. I hate that mutha!
7. While typing this into Microsoft Word (as I always do before posting nowadays), I checked Word’s possible spellings of the word mutha, which included “moth”, “mother”, “Murtha”, “moths”, and “math”.
8. Cursed math for all that I’m worth.
9. Wondered why, when I copy and paste this into my blogging area, all the apostrophes disappear.
10. Found out the Zodiac signs of the entire “Whose Line is it Anyway?” crew.
11. Watched “Full House” cause absolutely nothing else was on.
12. Set my “current mood” to “quixotic”, because really–when am I ever gonna be quixotic ever again?
13. Typed this list.
“I’m going to be a great movie star some day”
You know what’s great about my friends?
~ I can strip in front of them and they just want to join me.
~ They don’t laugh at me, they laugh with me (mainly because I’m always laughing at myself. Weirdo.).
~ They let me ride in their cars (Aneel and Amy!).
~ They take me up to the surgical center on the hill and we do fun things.
~ They do this:
…and don’t give me crap about the extreme glare coming from my whitey-white legs.
They all rock my socks!

My title’s a Marilyn Monroe quote, by the way.
My quizzes…my results
Well, since I made all these quizzes (4 of them) during the summer, I figured it’s about time for me to put my results up on here (along with the current stats of each quiz):
“What Member of Team America are You? (taken 45 times)
“Which Founding Father are You?” (taken 42 times)
“Lewis and Clark–Which One are You?” (taken 9 times)
“What Shape are You?” (taken 114 times)
There ya go! Now take them and post your results, dangit!
Internet = up and running!
Yay!
My Internet’s working again, and I feel stupid, cause the only reason it wasn’t working was because I had accidentally turned off the little “wireless” switch. Dur…
Cleaning = no more!
Yay!
I finally finished cleaning everything! I am very happy and now very bored, considering that cleaning was what was filling up most of my day for the past two weeks or so.
Meh. At least I’m done.
What the hell was this??
Okay…in between events today, I spent about an hour cleaning. During this hour, I found this weird little paper with this written on it:
December 1st
Steps to Declaring World Peace:
1) Make sure you give out bread–homemade bread!–to everyone you know on December 1st (it being the first day in the Month of Christmas). This giving of bread will help aid in the survival of the rest of the month.
2) If you can’t make bread, go someplace where you can buy it. Bread that tastes and–even better–looks homemade will brighten the day.
Today, you are the vendor of the bread!!
What. The. Crap. I was very confused about this…I normally remember writing stuff that I find, but I don’t remember writing this. I’m not sure when I wrote it, either. Plus, it’s really whacked out. Hmm.
Birthdaypalooza!
Holy crap…I know a lot of Leos. Here are all the people I know with a birthday today:
Shannyn
Linda (my art teacher)
Mindy (my dog)
Plus, today is also my half-birthday…happy half to me!
‘Kay, that’s all.
