"A man can stand almost anything except a succession of ordinary days."-GoetheToday was a rather dull day. Normally I don't post on days like this, but I figured I'd give you a taste of what you're missing:
The setup: I may have mentioned this before, but my design prof decided he wanted our latest project (four pictures) mounted by Monday. Of course, he tells us this as the bookstore is about to close and the building will be locked up for the weekend. Thus forcing me to go to school early today. I was going to get up early for breakfast and get a bag lunch and eat it before going to school around noon.
After going to bed at 2 a.m. (brilliant move there, Jen), I woke up in the middle of the night and decided, "Hey, I'll just go to lunch when it opens at 11:30 and eat fast." So I reset the clock to 10:30. In the dark. You guessed it, I managed to turn the alarm OFF. I woke up late and ran out of time to go to lunch.
While in the bookstore, I found a wedding card for Sarah and Hardeep. It's this goofy painting I found appropriate for the couple (the bride stands there as the groom dances and holds a liquor bottle- Sarah can't dance.), inside says "Isn't love grande!" It was the only wedding card I've ever seen that isn't all sappy and flowery and filled with beautifully boring verse. I mean, who really READS those cards? I would if the giver had actually written that, but it doesn't mean anything if some anonymous person did it. At least with the joke cards you get a laugh.
Class today was DULL. Spent hours and hours critiquing each other's work, it went ON AND ON (until after my bus had left). Melanie and Sara and I (the chicks I hang out with in class) talked and griped and told weird drunk stories during the breaks.
At dinner, they had real silverware and plates again.
Ami's friend and crush Brian came over tonight, and boy, was he an a-hole. He's cute, but I don't know HOW Ami can tolerate his crap. He can be SO damn obnoxious. Maybe he's nicer when he's alone with someone (okay, he's been less obnoxious when I've been in a room alone with him), but for me that couldn't redeem him calling my friends "booger" (his new name for Taquoa. No reason, just to piss her off) all the time.
Yes, they're all in the bedroom again, but I actually got access tonight- when they were trying to remember the "Growing Pains" song. I suppose I could have stayed in there, but I was TRYING to watch 
Daria tonight (and flipping out every time they showed her belly button. I have a phobia about that brought on by my first ballet teacher who Pillsburyed everybody.) 
However, it's difficult when some stupid idiots keep calling you, demanding Little Caesar's. They wouldn't take "No, this is not Little Caesar's" for an answer. Idiots.
What I've been doing late at night lately is watching Loveline on MTV. Damn, that's a goofy show! (Anna got me started on this one, blame her) I came up with a drinking game for it:
The Loveline Drinking Game
Drink (whatever your beverage) . . .
Once every time Dr. Drew sniffs out sexual abuse
Once every time Adam rips on the caller, twice if you don't get it
Once every time Adam brings up his sex life and/or lack thereof, twice if Dr. Drew does it
Once every time Adam mentions some embarrassing personal problem
Once every time Adam makes a sex crack aimed at Dr. Drew
Once every time Adam comes up with some weird comment about gays
Once every time Adam gives some really idiotic advice, twice if someone takes it
Once every time a celeb gives odd advice
Once every time the celeb's movie/show/song is mentioned, twice if a clip is played
Once every time a caller has been asked to be in a threesome and doesn't want to, twice if Drew sniffs sexual abuse as the reason for the suggestion of the threesome (yes, that's three drinks)
Twice if a video phone caller is NOT at a college
Twice if a video phone caller brought his friends along as an audience
Twice if Dr. Drew makes a joke
Twice if any caller broke a law
Twice if you know someone who's had the problem
Chug the entire drink if you've had the problem
Drink the whole six-pack if you know the caller
Drink everything in sight if it's your SO
I'm watching it now and typing during commercials. The last caller had been having casual sex with a guy for three months and now is developing feelings, and Dr. Drew said that it's inevitable that would happen due to female biology- that women can't have casual sex without developing feelings unless it's for a short period of time. Yuck! I hate that kinda thing! I'm going to have to become a nun or something, because frankly I can't take getting even MORE attached to some dickhead who doesn't give a rat's ass, know what I mean?
Finally, I found this brilliant story on a site, and I'd recommend it to the lovelorn. This link may move, so if it doesn't work check the Love Blender page, August 1998 edition to look for it. The article is Quickmelt.
