Oh MAN, I forgot how awesome RAB is. Top five:

“Hey everyone, let’s do some motherfucking drugs!”
I love how he just chugs the whole box of them.
“So do we call poison control…or let him die and have a parade?”
“You’re dead to me, boy!”
The end with donkey just makes it.

Sometimes it’s a good thing that some thoughts only arise in dreams
Okay, so I had two of the weirdest dreams I’ve ever had last night. Presented in chronological order.
ONE!
I was back on the cruise, but it wasn’t really the cruise because we were on an open oil tanker (how I knew it was that kind of ship, I’m not sure) that was going through a rough storm. Two little details I could pick out: I was wearing the chain Aaron gave me, and Boxy Boxy (remember him from awhile back?) was sitting next to me on the deck. All of a sudden, a helicopter comes out of the sky and I have to climb this ladder to safety. By the time I’m halfway up the ladder, I realize that while I somehow left the necklace on the deck and was carrying Boxy Boxy.
However, at some point I drop Boxy Boxy into the ocean. At first I’m like, “whatever, it’s a box,” then I realize how important he was. So I start screaming, “BOXY BOXY, I’LL COME BACK FOR YOU!” as I’m flown away.
Then I’m back in my room, crying my eyes out because I know I’ll never ever find Boxy Boxy in the ocean. Then my dad comes in the room and hands me—surprise surprise—Boxy Boxy! Apparently I actually left him on the ship and he was able to save it in the storm.
I had never been so happy in my dreams in my entire life. I woke up and had to hug Boxy Boxy.
TWO!
I’m in bed with a guy from my philosophy senior seminar. He’s still asleep and I’m next to him wondering, “well, that was fun. But now I have to take his penis as a sample. I hope he doesn’t notice.” So I get a pair of scissors, CUT HIS PENIS OFF, and put it in a plastic baggie to take with me. The dream skips ahead and there are a bunch of us awake talking. He’s there, too, and has apparently failed to notice his lack of a penis. (One year later edit: I TOLD you it was creepy!)
Yeah. There’s something wrong with me.
Waiter! There’s a hippocampus in my zoo!
Leon Uris’ QB VII.
Read it. Seriously. You:
1) won’t be able to put it down, and
2) will change your mind about the main characters like 20 times.
That is all.
Everything in moderation. Including moderation.
Well people, I broke down and got a deviantArt account, mainly because I wanted a place for my art crap just in case Vaio decides to bite it any time soon.
Here ya go, please be nice.
Alaska!
Pictures!

Will Play for Death Star
Today we were in Victoria, BC. And I saw Darth Vader playing violin. No joke. Picture:

Seriously, check these guys out.
Hello, June!
So I had this weird dream the other night about me as a kid, and it got me thinking today about all the random crap I believed when I was little. Examples:
- I believed that since there was a New York, New Jersey, New Mexico, etc. that there existed states that were called Old York, Old Jersey, Old Mexico, etc.
- I thought that atoms made up inorganic things and cells made up organic things and that they were entirely different and non-inclusive from one another.
- All through preschool I thought that sounds like “th” and “ch” and “sh” had their own single letter, and I would agonize for hours over the banner we had in the classroom that listed the letters of the alphabet, trying to figure out which letters made the “th,” “ch,” and “sh” sounds. Now that I think about it, though, I don’t really know why I had that problem, ‘cause I could easily read by that point and had no problems with words like “the” or “chair.”
- I went around for the longest time thinking that you had to “learn” how to smell. I remember having to do this assignment in first grade where our teacher put different things with strong scents in paper bags and we had to go around and identify them by smelling them. I cried the whole time because everyone else had learned to smell except for me.
- I thought they were called “ultraviolent” rays, which is why they burned you.
- I always wondered why posters of the body always showed the colon but never the semicolon.
- I thought the New Testament was like a remake of the Old Testament (like Godzilla 2000 was a remake of the original Godzilla). I held that the remakers did a poor job, ‘cause nothing was really the same and there was this new character named Jesus (I was a pretty dumb kid).
- To “box someone’s ears” meant to force them to wear little boxes around their ears, which would be embarrassing for them, which would be their punishment for whatever they did.
Um…yeah.
Circular reasoning works because circular reasoning works because circular reasoning works…
I think my favorite part is during the Jurassic Park theme.
OH LOOK A CRUISE
Hello from the ocean, ladies and gentlemen! Well, actually, not yet. We’re still chilling in Seattle right now, but we’re on the ship. Safety drill thingy will commence shortly.
Yay Alaska!
Don’t worry, Pluto…I’m not a planet either
I’m sitting in a hotel in Seattle, waiting to board the cruise ship tomorrow. I’m bored. Therefore, you get more MSN Messenger Snippets of Wisdom. Because that’s what I’m calling them now. These were all with Sean (who is the blue one).
This is difficult, but oh man, I can’t WAIT to see the fit of that regression line!
you’re not serious
“Ah, a funeral march. This will show how good our band is at slower music. Hmm, what else should we have? Oh! Thunder and Blazes! Clown music ALWAYS sounds best when paired with a funeral march!”
Haha, at one point I was reading him Leibniz
you sure are quite the romantic, aren’t you?
I need to calculate exactly how much free time I actually have in a week, just to see how much more I could feasibly be doing
you are weird
I have approximately 92 hours of free time a week, and that’s with the overestimation of 10 hours of homework per week
13.14 hours a day, that’s pretty good
you are so weird
I‘d have 13.28 per day if it weren’t for Psi Chi
Oh crap, I forgot the recitation sessions!
Ha, 13 exactly!
I’m awesome at rounding off my free time
you are SO weird
We’ve got a “Highway to Hell” and a “Stairway to Heaven,” right?
What’s up with that? Why are the righteous being punished by having to climb stairs?
I mean yeah, I guess the stairs could represent the fact that it’s more of a struggle to get into heaven, but seriously, why do the damned get the easier route to their eternity?
If it gets to that point, you’d think the holy would get to take a cab or something, or at least an escalator
Oh, by the way, if someone ever tells you to calculate a successive differences variance estimator for any data set larger than 10, run in the opposite direction as fast as you can
yeah, that’s something I needed to be told
“Mathematics and statistics requirements can be met by taking courses in the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Statistics”
No freaking way, you serious?!
I found a Leibniz clock and I want it
what the hell is a Leibniz clock?
A clock with Leibniz on it
I thought the first half was crap
At least, more crap than the second half
Which is also substantial in the quantity of crap
Eat it, Symbolic Logic!
(Talking about the finals schedule)
I could reschedule Symbolic Logic into the “When Hell Freezes Over” slot, I suppose
I’d have to teach Philosophy 104: The Best of All Possible Philosophy Classes, just to see who catches on
So apparently, according to this test, I’m a neurotic intellectul with no soul and poor social skills
Hahaha, I spelled “intellectual” wrong
Fail
I keep waiting for Gordon Freeman to crash through the window with his crowbar
We actually sort of worked at work today
We were all “what is this ‘manual labor’ crap?”
(Talking about zeppelin models being sold on eBay)
Haha…I can imagine the feedback on that Hindenburg model: “the damn thing burst into flames and disintegrated on my lawn! I want my money back!”
Side note: this Philosophy Quiz is kicking my ass
“In which position did Albert Camus play football?”
The fuck should I know?
I thought all he did was bitch about his existence and then contract the plague

Realizations
I’ve graduated in the Kibbie Dome a total of three times (our high school graduated there, too).
I’m the “transition girlfriend.” Only once has this not been a problem.
I’m afraid.
I’m twenty-one years old. That is terrifying.
I don’t know if I’m ready for grad school. I have a feeling I’ll miss the freedom of undergrad (but not the U of I).
Blog #1121: Disney Insanity
TODAY I will give you my top 5 Disney movies, mainly because I’ve been watching way too many of them on YouTube. Also, this is based more than what Disney considers their “masterpieces,” which excludes, unfortunately, things like Toy Story and Anastasia. Anyway.
1. The Hunchback of Notre Dame
This movie is EPIC. Love the animation, love the music, love the evil Claude Frollo. He’s badass.
2. Hercules
Another epic movie with great animation and great music. There’s also quite a bit of humor in this one that I missed when I was little.
3. The Great Mouse Detective
Basil’s hot. Don’t care if he’s a mouse.
4. Toy Story
FREAKING LOVED THIS in elementary school. We quoted it as often as possible. I also think the idea of Tom Hanks voicing a cowboy is automatically funny.
5. Anastasia
Another movie we were obsessed with in elementary school. I was also probably biased towards this one because of my friend Anastasia.
Yes, it keeps going EVEN THOUGH I’M DONE WITH SCHOOL
Because I’m a loser and love to do these things, here is my college career in review. In BAR CHART FORM!!!! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Higher scores = the better that semester was in that aspect.
Stupid Late-Night Ponderings
Brought to you by the random, semi-coherent paragraphs scrawled out in my sketchbook. Because 17 hours is a long-ass shift.
“…and this is just a FRACTION of the savings you’ll see!”
Oh yeah? Well what if the “fraction” of savings you’re seeing is something like 9.99/10? That’s a pretty big ass fraction to be saying this is JUST a fraction. It just seems stupid.
“In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.”
Says who? The one-eyed guy? The blind masses? Maybe the one-eyed man doesn’t want to be king. Maybe he just wants to steal the blind’s stuff and skip town.
“In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man can sure get away with a lot.”
“An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.”
And also fucks over a lot of optometrists. I wonder if this hypothetical world is the land of the blind. So how’d that one-eyed man escape this? Maybe everybody came to their senses in the middle of poking this guy’s eyes out—“wait…we need a ruler here! This guy has an eye, let’s let him do it!”
Why do all these sayings involve blind dudes?
“Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me.”
Yes they can. Ever have someone scream “TACO TIME!” in your ear really loud?
Excruciating. I don’t have an eardrum anymore.
“It’s like shooting fish in a barrel!”
I can’t even describe how inefficient and messy that sounds like it would be. Why would you shoot the fish? For sport? Out of boredom? Because they mocked you? What are they doing in the barrel, anyway? Why wouldn’t you just bowl the barrel over if you wanted them dead? I think that would be more fun. “It’s like dumping a bunch of fish out of a barrel and not wasting any bullets!”
