Spooky.

Arrow Friday, October 31, 2003 @ 8:24 am

Wow awesome night. What started out as a few games of pool (I “won” 1 of 4 :razz: ) at TDU turned into over 8 hours of a modified sleepover.

After pool Doron and I got vending coffee at Wilson, walked back to White Hall, saw that Eddie was back so talked with him for a little bit, then played basketball for about an hour. What I’ve discovered is that he’s a lot like Ross (except shorter) … loves chess, good enough at basketball to coach 9-year-olds, and pretty skinny. We have a lot in common (our views on society and liking outdoors-y stuff), and he made me 2 CDs of awesome bands (Underworld and VNV) that I’ve never heard of. Score.

For Halloween he’s Eddie (and Eddie’s him), so watching them get dressed up was funny — especially Doron’s new Taxi Driver mohawk. After doing that and taking pictures and showing everyone online, Jessie (the girl who drove me to all the parties the night I met Eddie, and also his girlfriend) calls and soon comes over, drunk — according to her she had either 5 or 12 beers … can’t remember lol. So we talk to her ’til she wants to do her thing with Eddie, at which point I’m like, “heyyy Doron, what’s up?” LOL. At the end, we don’t get to “bed” ’til about 5:30 am, and for some reason I wasn’t tired, even though I’d woken up at 7 am the previous morning. I think I got literally 15 minutes of sleep after “waking up” at 7:30 to a frickin’ loud alarm. But it was worth it! Doron and I talked about random stuff forever, which was definitely a nice change from the meaningless babble of everyone else. He also kept saying it was the most comfortable night he’s had at JMU so far, and that he’s glad he met me … aw yay. Then he walked me back to Hillside, gave me a hug, and went on to class :smile:

Now I’m here, and ready for another awesome night! Happy Halloween!

And the Daily Double:

1. What is the scariest movie you’ve ever seen?
Carrie 2 … ’cause I watched it by myself in a completely dark dorm lounge in the middle of the night.

2. Have you ever encountered a celebrity?
Yes — Bill Nye The Science Guy (sorta) and Hanson. Does Julia Roberts’ sister count?

Stupid roommate.

Arrow Wednesday, October 29, 2003 @ 3:58 pm

WTF, I come back from anthropology to find that my ethernet card is broken, when before I left it was fine. I can still get it to work by holding the cable up with my stapler, but still, I’m pissed. This means that the money I just put into my account will have to be used on a new card — great. They’re probably overpriced at the bookstore too, which I won’t even be able to go to today ’cause of art *sigh* I think Maureen or one of her people had something to do with it, ’cause all the stuff on my desk was moved. I mean geez, it’s fine to move something a little, but not carelessly shove stuff around. Like my flowers were pushed up against my bookcase … not to mention whatever happened to my computer. Again, wtf? This is why my hall sucks!

Anyway, I g2g to class, but I’ll be back later … maybe … if my card hasn’t died.

2. What is the worst Halloween costume you’ve ever worn?
“Punk Hanson” with Shaune lol … I wore my green Hanson t-shirt with baggy khakis and dyed my hair red with wash-out-the-next-day stuff … it was fun! People were like what the hell are you? :razz:

Ooh, and look! I’m so doing that :grin:

Dark quizzes.

Arrow Monday, October 27, 2003 @ 10:54 pm

Thanks to Karolina for these:

Vampire Class Quiz
You are a Servant of Blood, the lowest class of vampire. You are dependent on your master and very reliable. You have little or no servants of your own because you are either uninterested in being a sire, or are too weak to capture humans for yourself. You are still working on any major abilities, but mostly you take after your master. You can be seen as either too attached or unbelievably loyal to your beloved master. Just don’t let yourself be used so much. What class of vampire are you?

Underworld Character Quiz
You are Selene! Beautiful, vivacious, fierce and seductive, Selene vowed she would destroy Lycans after her family was murdered by the werewolves. So ruthless is she that selene is a member of the Death Dealers. This elite vampire warrior class’s mission is to make the Lycans extinct. This 127-year-old “aggressive hunter of the underworld” combines a mastery of ancient weaponry with modern pleasures, such as driving Jaguars and using computers. However, Selene’s ambitions are suppressed by Kraven. She longs for Viktor’s reawakening so that he becomes the vampire’s regent once again. Which Underworld character are you?

Mythological Form Quiz
And the vampire was all that remained on the blood-drowned creation. She attempted to regrow life from the dead. But as she was about to give the breath of life, she was consumed in the flame of the phoenix and the cycle began again.

Some examples of the vampire form are Hades (Greek) and Isis (Egyptian). The vampire is associated with the concept of death, the number 9, and the element of fire. Her sign is the eclipsed moon.

As a member of form 9, you are a very realistic individual. You may be a little idealistic, but you are very grounded and down to earth. You realize that not everything lasts, but you savor every minute of the good times. While you may sometimes find yourself lonely, you have strong ties with people that will never be broken. Vampires are the best friends to have because they are sensible. Which mythological form are you?

Hour to kill.

Arrow Monday, October 27, 2003 @ 1:35 pm

Ew dark, rainy, and yucky day. But I passed Tech Level I! Score, now all the stupid required tests that I know of are over with. The guy there now recognizes me, so despite him being really nice, I guess it’s kinda good I won’t be back the rest of this semester :razz:

Anyway, I have almost an hour to kill before anthropology, so wonder what I should do … can’t go get quarters, which I need to do ’cause I only have five left … grr to checks taking forever to clear … it should by tomorrow. I also signed up for the step interval class at UREC tonight, which is, “step training with segments of muscular strengthening for a total body workout” according to the booklet. It’d be my first time … yay?

Brian just sent me a list of Halloween parties: looks like it’ll be Platinum (and hair dye and makeup :razz: ) on Friday! Cool.
