I don't think I could ever marry someone who doesn't squeeze the toothpaste from the bottom of the tube.

if real life is like this i quit

I was in Seegers for a little under 12 hours straight, minus going to class for 2 and going to the mailroom to check on a package for about 15 minutes.

That is absurd.

"I'm a neighbor of the College!"

So, at work last week, one of the workstudy kids came into my office hysterically laughing because of a phone call she got. Apparently, there was a little old man on the line asking about seminars in learning how to use a computer. He had just gotten one and wanted to learn "all the tricks" like how to "power it up and power it down!" and "how to use that e-mail and the internets."

He then explained he was a neighbor of Muhlenberg, which I guess means he lives in one of those sweet houses on the "good" side of Chew St.

What did we tell him? Well a) we wanted to run to his house and help him because he sounded so excited/desperate/on the verge of death, but our secretary said that probably wouldn't be a good idea.

We ended up putting a listing in the part-time job book... which no one ever checks. And we told him to check the bigger LVCC schools and the local community colleges, because they might have a support group for old people with computer problems.

I can't help but think about him right now banging at his computer like Hansel and Zoolander, wondering what all those strange buttons do.

In other news, searching for post-grad jobs is sucking real hard right about now, so is my snowed-in car.

Stonehenge?

The anthropology nerd in me is going wild.

i hate your big dumb combat boots

I've been trying to get through all my Blake readings for tomorrow, but all I want to do is watch 10 Things I Hate About You and mourn the loss of that sexy Oz. Bye bye Heathcliff.

Flashback!

I use a pencil at work, because I make a lot of mistakes. Mind you, not one of those fancy schmancy mechanical pencils. Nope, I use the old school kind we took our SATs with. I also like the sound of graphite on paper rather than metal slathered with ink.

My pencil broke for the first time since May! I didn't mind that it had worn down to a nubbin, but the tip just snapped clear off, and I don't have a sharpener. Neither does anyone in my office, apparently.

I had to go on a wild goose chase throughout Seegers, which led to the greater Muhlenberg campus, until I finally found one by breaking into one of the art classrooms in the CA.

How is it possible, that old fashioned pencils have gone so far out of style that I had to search for about 15 minutes to find one? I think it's sad.

The sharpener in the art room was one of the old school electric ones, you know, the ones that make awful grinding noises when you use it, and have the same wood paneling as 1990 Station Wagons?

Like this one:




And in elementary school, we used to put the pencils in eraser side first, because we were evil little ankle-biters.

Lesson learned: go buy a sharpener and possibly a pack of pencils

Hamsters reign supreme

After you watch this video, you can't tell me that Hamsters suck, or are gay, or stupid, because they just fucking rule.


In other news... I miss you, Murphy!!!

WAM

I was flipping through my family's digital cable the other day, and I noticed that we no longer get the channel WAM. This is a huge shame, because this channel was like the precursor to The-N. Lots of amazingly cheesy tv shows, all from Canada or New Zealand.

When I was in middle school I used to watch one religiously called "The Tribe". It was from New Zealand, and was basically a mix of survivor and 28 days later. There was this virus that caused all the adults to die, and so it was a series about a bunch of kids living in a mall.

The one thing I never understood is why the sudden lack of adults forced them to start wearing weird clothes, make up and hair and caused them to break up into tribes with names like Moz, Technos, and Mallrats.

I did some YouTube research and this is what I found...



I've never felt so fangirl/geeky before in my whole life.

Sadly enough, according to wikipedia (which we all know is LAW) it was cancelled in 2003.

It's gonna be a great gossip year

You know that when, 4 days into the new year, Britney Spears is wheeled from her house in a gurney and then transported to the hospital, it's going to be a good year for ONTD, Perez, The Soup, TMZ, and the rest of them.

Did I mention I've also had a serious cold since 1/1/08 and have had nothing better to do than surf the net, cough, use up tissues, and get cabin fever for the past 4 days?

But, when the bar is set so high this early, what are we to do? Someone is going to have to OD or kill themselves to beat Hostage Brituation 2008?

Lilo and Jamielynn, I'm looking to you to do something drastic to get back in the hot seat on the Hollywood crazy train. Paris, you're "reformed" so I'm over you.

Maybe Nicole Richie will go postpartum and eat her baby. Wishful thinking.

Either way, I know I will not be at a loss for entertainment to distract me while I'm finishing up my last year of college.

BYE YA'LL

Resolution

My resolution for the new year is to get a high paying job, lose 40 pounds, become famous and discover the 13th use of dragons blood.
