I'm too tall for the shower heads in the bathrooms. Hitting your head on a blunt metal object is no way to start a shower.
But anyways, Friday was the foam party. It kind of sucked, but I still had fun.
There wasn't nearly as much foam as last semester 'cause the machines were on the fritz but there was enough to leave me slippery and kind of sticky at the end of the night. Slippery floors and dancing don't mix, that's one thing that you should always remember, but fortunately I never actually fell. There were some almost-topples but my legs just hurt a little more from trying to keep myself balanced while I was getting my groove on.
I danced with 3 strangers and a friend and the best dancer was the guy I knew. We did a grinding conga line, at most it was 4 couples, which turned out pretty well. There was also a 7-person and a 6-person conga line, all pretty damn fun. There was a plethora of bikini-clad college girls and, of course, shirtless guys. Near the beginning of the party I saw this white girl with the craziest hips I have ever seen. She was booty-bouncing like 100mph and winding her hips like Shakira ... it was amazing.
After a cold shower back in the dorm I was knocked out 'til 11:30am when I woke up to get ready for the football game. We played Oregon, who was ranked 14th while we were 48th (or something like that), and ended up going into double-overtime with them winning with a touchdown, 32-26. It was crazy and I was cursing like a sailor, but it was a great game: especially the 80-yard touchdown 15 seconds into the game!!
Ended up just hanging out with friends and watching Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire 'til maybe 1am and then crashed again. Today I did homework and started watching season one of 30 Rock. I really don't want to go to classes tomorrow.
I heart Tina Fey.
It rained all day.
I ran out of chocolate.
kthxbye.

10-9-8 and I'm breaking away
Today, I used my umbrella for the first time since school started. It rained last night so I was prepared with my umbrella tucked in an outside pocket of my backpack and once it started to rain I reached back and pulled it out like an arrow from a quiver. I know you got the visual, that's exactly what it looked like, I promise.
I like the click my umbrella makes when I press the button to release it. I wish it was a prettier color though.
On the way back from my math lecture this kid (who I could hear even with my headphones in) was talking about traffic patterns or some shit and he sounded like Mandark from Dexter's Laboratory. I mean exactly like him, so much so that I wanted to punch him in the face to make him stop talking.
I have a FOAM PARTY TONIGHT!!! It's gonna be slippery and loud. Just the way I like it.
I'm currently 99 pages into Pearl. Dutch names are weird.
kthxbye.

La Rousse
It's been a couple months since I was so emotionally connected to a novel.
I love getting attached to a character. Not just finding something familiar in them and putting yourself somewhat in their place but actually feeling the way the character does. Getting scared when they do, being anxious, elated, distraught, uncomfortable. It's amazing how well some authors can pull you into the lives of their characters.
It took me a day and a half to read Tracy Chevalier's The Virgin Blue and now that I have finally finished the book I feel a little lighter. It was by no means meant to be a light-hearted book but I feel satisfied to have gone through the journey.
Never before have I cried while reading a book, never, but this book reduced me to tears and if I had the chance I would thank Ms. Chevalier for allowing me such an experience. To be brought to a solid emotion, not some weak fear or slight sympathy, by a novel is something that I think every person should be able to experience. Sure, a movie can give you the visuals and it might even make you cry more, but if you are connected enough to a book to create your own landscape, your own view of the characters then your emotions will be tied to the book whether you like it or not.
Sometimes I marvel at my own imagination. How I can turn someone's words into a world in my mind, how I can almost act out the plot like a play. In the back of my mind there are so many worlds I cannot even begin to remember where they've come from but I'm glad to have them stored away for moments when I need them most.
I highly recommend this book. I'm now off to read her second novel The Girl With The Pearl Earring, made into a movie starring a young Scarlett Johansson. I haven't decided whether being able to put a real face to the main character will help me to visualize, but I'm sure it will prove a wonderful read.

Couture plz.
Oh how I wish I was an Upper East Sider. The scandals, the money, the clothes, the foxy ladies, it's all too much.
So if you hadn't been able to tell by the opening line, Gossip Girl has re-entered my life &I could not be happier. A weekly dose of Blake&Leighton, such excellent eye candy, fer srs kids. Bleighton ftw! But then again Waldsen is just easier to blog about because I have nothing but picspam proof of Bleighton.
say what? too cute!
With Waldsen there's so much video evidence &I can obsess about every scene they share. Blair&Serena are the best BFFs ever in the universe. Blair forgives Serena for sleeping with Nate. Serena helps Blair get through her bulimia break &through her mommy angst. Blair takes care of drunk Serena ... on multiple occasions. Okay well most of the time it's really Blair being incredibly awesome &putting up with Serena's shit, but Serena has to put up with the Blair Bitch which pretty much evens everything out. &Srsly, they are simply the cutest (&hottest) BFFs evar in tha univers!
So now every Monday (at least until Heroes starts) I'll be Bleighton squeeing hardcore ... after that it will be strictly KBell-Panettiere squee, except that my little blonde pixie won't be in all of the new season. Why oh why? I heart Elle, she's an electric bitch ... electric&foxy.
GG has KBell too ... GG = KBell.
Pretty makes me squee.
Vanila soft serve. <33

Gossip Girl ... jk
