I am with Liz on the Spring Break thing. I saw a concert, walked around Boston, took in both a Bruins game and a tour of Fenway Park, and I even met a lady!

We are dating now. The date yesterday went..how you say..REALLY WELL. I did not fuck it up.

Shane, I'm sooooo happy for you!!!! Good job!

Yknow, I was really hoping to get some high five love back from Jon last night when I texted him.

Ladybug · « **Reply #1555 on:** 22 Mar 2009, 08:18 »

Awesome, Shane! Congrats!

I am having issues with everything today. It's annoying, because I should be in a semi-good mood. But everything is just blah, for no apparent reason. But at least there's a football match in less than 2 hours, and I'm heading downtown soon to watch it at a pub. Hope we don't screw up completely, that would make the day even worse.

Dear Hog Spread,

I've been someone decided to unleash a stomach flu around Kgn, Jamaica.

I've become quite acquainted with my latrine.

That is all

Love, my aching bowels.

Oh man. I had that a few years back. I honestly thought I was going to die.

i woke up this morning to find (no exaggeration) 150 new emails in my inbox from psychology students asking to be taken off the psychology listserv. by emailing the listserv. i am getting more of them with every minute. why don't any of these people know what a listserv is??! CAN YOU NOT SEE THAT IT SENDS TO EVERYONE, I DON'T HAVE TIME TO GO THROUGH ALL THIS CRAP HRGHRBGGHRARGHARR

MrBlu · « **Reply #1559 on:** 22 Mar 2009, 10:51 »

Go easy, they're Psycho students, not Common Sce- er, IT students.

tania · « **Reply #1560 on:** 22 Mar 2009, 11:21 »

but i'm a psychology student too! that's why i'm on the listserv in the first place.
i'm also apparently the only one with any lcapacity to figure anything out for myself since the instructions for removing yourself from the psychology listserv are on the psychology department website (HEY STUDENTS DID YOU THINK OF LOOKING THERE FIRST MAYBE, NO OBVIOUSLY YOU DIDN'T) and an email explaining how to do it step by step was even sent out like two hours ago. yet i have gotten like 25 more "take me off the listserv" "stop emailing everyone" "this is dumb" "no YOUR dumb" emails since my last post. why are you ridiculous people doing this to meeeeee

This shit happened on the Math upper-year mailing list at Waterloo too, albeit there were only about a dozen e-mails before I explained what was explained in the first e-mail.
It's just like, fuck, you got an e-mail explaining this business, you are a human being who can read and learn, the process is simple, use your fucking brain and don't expect it's someone else's responsibility to make sure you are perfectly content and happy and don't have to take care of yourself and mow your own goddamn lawn and clean up your own kitchen, you are what's wrong with society, people who e-mail the whole list demanding to be removed, following the masses, out-sourcing your irritation, expecting our automated world will make you better this world will burn and I will grow vegetables and raise chickens and my friend will grow pigs and we will have bacon and eggs and onion omelets and you will have the bitter taste of waiting for the repairman to mend your home and streets and cars and refrigerator damn those repairmen are lazy damnit why haven't they repaired my life yet.

Alex if you have anything to barter for my eggs, ham, and cider in the days after the day after today I will think fondly of the past and trade fairly with you.

Yesterday I spent the most of the day running around the woods doing sword fighting/semi-re-enactment stuff, and after that everyone went to one guys place and watched faintheart, the movie about the Viking reenacter who tries to win back his wife, who left him becasue he was spending a bit too much time on reenactment. The whole bunch of us was laughing like madmen though the entire movie. It was so great.

tania · « **Reply #1566 on:** 22 Mar 2009, 13:15 »

goddamnit i am still getting so many emails and almost deleted a really important one from my professor while purging all this crap, why are you psychology students making my life so difficult, why did you decide you want me to be in such a horrible mood today, you are all so GODDAMN FUCKING STUPID

after this i promise i will cease complaining but to drive the point home here is what my inbox looks like and it is only like 10% of this shit.

I HATE YOU ALL

It happens from time to time on every mailing list in existence, even those with the unsubscribe instructions added at the end of every post. I view it as a reminder of how lucky I am to have a modicum of intelligence, as clearly there are those who have to make it through life without.

Guys, a strange and scary thing has happened to me. I've started liking the Smiths. I've even . . . I've even started . . . God, I can hardly say it. I've even started to kind of like Morrissey's singing! Oh god, my 21-year-old self would be so ashamed of me right now.

Oh also, I've got a new crush but I won't be in a position to (A) enquire among friends about her singlehood or lack thereof, and (B) ask her out, until early May.

Facebook groups like that confuse me. What's their deal

So my laptop has a gross trojan among other undesirables on it, and it is all a big hassle to fix, but I'm working on it. Plus I don't care because the regular computer is totally fine and thus I finished recording a song! It's a re-recording, but it sounds really good and even I found a drum and some things in my kitchen to hit with spoons to make clinky noises.

Oh dang I killed this asshole bug but I killed it on my mouse, ew

Things I would like to have right now: a clean mouse, more Thin Mints, and the girl I am missing.

Edit: Yeah I fixed the laptop!!!!!!!

Harry, I'm so proud of you. You are now so much cooler to me.

Inlander · « **Reply #1578 on:** 23 Mar 2009, 03:52 »

Personally I think the fact that I've started listening to the Smiths is symptomatic of how thoroughly shit my love-life is.

McTaggart · « **Reply #1579 on:** 23 Mar 2009, 04:55 »

Don't worry Harry, I've recently come to like the Smiths too. Though maybe this has something to do with being single to the point of finding myself telling myself that this is better. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

look out! Ninjas! · « **Reply #1580 on:** 23 Mar 2009, 06:25 »

Why thank you both very much.
I now know that my beginning to appreciate The Smiths isn't just a sign of my tastes maturing like I had thought, but actually a reflection of how utterly shit my love-life is. Now my night is complete.

Inlander · « **Reply #1581 on:** 23 Mar 2009, 06:53 »

(Actually mainly I've started listening to them because of Johnny Marr's bouncy guitar work, so don't worry.)

I like The Smiths a lot. And NWA. And Once at work, I found a stack of NWA stickers underneath some shelving, and I put one over my Smiths shirt. And then it was decided that I am awesome as hell.

Well here is something interesting.

Well the library shut down today so we could adjust the shelves.

While cataloging old equipment in the basement I found out we had two old broken copy machines. I was told that we were going to sell them for scrap (too broken and old). I noticed that they both still had the money boxes included.

Like this one:

It turned out that the company that we used to go through a few years ago never fixed the machines and didn't do service calls. When we got another company to provide copier service the other company just left the broken copiers with us and gave us ownership papers.

They also never gave us the key to open up the money box.

All these years they just sat there. Since they are going to the scrapyard anyways the custodian tried to open them up and failed. Armed with a prybar and the motto "when in doubt go for the hinges" I manged to open up both of them up. It was so incredibly fun to do this legally.

I found well over $100 of bills and change which will be used for new multi-media cases.

This has been a good day. *pics soon*

Dear Blog Thread,

Now that most of the snow has melted, it is the rainy season and Fargo is flooding again. Hooray! They are predicting that the river will rise to over 40ft, which is higher than it got in 1997 when the flood destroyed a sizable chunk of the Fargo/Moorhead metro area. The universities canceled classes today so all the college kids could go help with the sandbagging. Which I did. And holy hell am I tired. The sanbagging station is in and old warehouse and there must have been close to a thousand people there filling bags and stacking them onto pallets to be trucked off to the river. It was insane. I want to go back tomorrow with my camera and take a bunch of picture, then head out to the river to photograph it as it rises. They've already closed multiple roads and the water is reaching some of the bridges.

INSANITY.

I have a creative writing assignment due soon that is 1000 words and I am used to writing about 200 word stories. I also have done basically no writing since November. I keep trying to write but can't think of anything. Well I have thought of something but it is probably 100 words max and a nice simple, poemy-like thing that I wouldn't want to drag out for 1000 words.

I think I might be in a bit of a pickle. Maybe I can rehash some old writing?

Got 1200 back for my tax return and have been looking at the IKEA website for cheap furniture but I am getting ideas and need to stop looking at this website because I only really need a bookshelf and a cheap desk but I keep seeing things I want and I can buy them and it is a bad idea because I am meant to be saving most of this return.

Guys, I am sitting here playing fucking Wheel Of Fortune on my SNES, and they fucking cheated me! I solved the puzzle and they told me I was wrong, and then the fucking computer put in the exact same letters and won! Cheated!

So, its lame and sucks, and I think I am going to go listen to Echo and The Bunnymen, and The Cure, and Depeche Mode, and The Smiths, and I will sing along and dance and it will be the best.
