Hey Blog thread, I come to you for advice.

I cannot seem to find/want to find housing for Fall Term. Should I take it off and travel instead? I have until September 28th to get a full refund on Fall Term tuition, I think. So far I have completed one year of my BA, and have about two years worth of credits.

I have some money, and my current idea is:
-Taglit Israel for about two weeks: $0
-Argentina/Peru for maybe a month or two: $?

As you can see I have thought this through.

Dear Blog Thread,

I smoked dem trees for the first time today. It didn't do shit (well, i felt slightly buzzed, but I think it was just placebo effect), but seeing my friend stoned was funny.

Whoo!

Fuck, you guys are so nice. I am going to start being a better person right fucking now so I can live up to your expectations and 'cause I kind of need to do that anyway

In other blogginess, a couple months ago when I'd skip sleep to get schoolwork done I would sometimes hear an owl hootin' outside my window at 4 AM. I actually saw one today! Two of them! They were bouncing on the top of this tree and being awesome and then they flew directly over me to another tree. Their wingspans are probably three feet. This is continuing the "nature is so rad!" theme.

A squirrel crawled onto the transformer on our street and blew up, thus knocking out power to the neighborhood!  This was when I was still sleeping off my drunken stupor on Friday morning before I got home.

Nature is pretty okay?

Dear Blog Thread,

I had an overall rather shitty weekend. Nothing disastrously bad occurred, but not much went right from Friday evening on.

Rachel and I had plans to go down to Cape Cod with some of our friends for a weekend of drinking and video gaming and swimming. Upon getting on our way back down from NH, her friend, whom we were picking up, ended up missing her train. We then had to drive into the city (The plan was to avoid driving back through Boston). Fortunately, we didn't run into much traffic. On our way, I decided to call the cottage to let my friend know we were going to be late. His fucking grandmother answers and tells me he's not there. I fortunately get his cell phone and he informs me that it turns out his grandmother and his aunt and uncle were there and his dad, who is incredibly creepy and awkward, would be there Saturday. The three in my car start to get pissed at the idea and lean towards going to hang out with a different group for the weekend, but my friends down there talk me into sticking with the plan, figuring that if the adults folk were lame, we could leave Saturday.

We arrived at the cottage and the first thing I see is an eight year old girl sitting on the bench outside. Apparently, my friend's cousins were there too and they had all claimed all the double beds and Rachel and I were subsequently stuck with one of those smaller than a twin beds. Beyond this, Rachel, having a two year old daughter, is far from comfortable drinking around children, so she was effectively fucked. On that line of thought, we were all also stuck in the same area as the kids for sleeping arrangement, meaning no possibility of anything sexual. Now, I'm not a fan of drinking around kids either, but damn if I didn't drink like a fish, because I haven't been that pissed off in months.

So, we decide that five of us are just going to go back to my apartment and drink our asses off. We eventually got there and one of our group gets pissed off and depressing and starts bringing us down. Then, tempers started to flare as a mixture of the drinking, a drinking game we played that got to some of my base insecurities and the fact we were all still pissed about our ruined weekend, so half of us were fighting amongst each other.

There were some highlights, but overall, my weekend was pretty lame.

I needed more pretty office clothes so today I bought 3 shirts, 3 pairs of pants and a handbag for CAN $120.89 including taxes. I feel pretty awesome, it even nearly made up for the fact I could not find a single pair of shoes to fit me. Lunchy, on the other hand, bought the most fantastic pair of shoes to wear with her bridesmaid's dress at my wedding. They are a thing of beauty.

WAAAAH BLOOOOGGGG THRREAAAAAD
THIS IS MY FIRST BLOGGGGGG.

I need people who like to go to art galleries for long periods and also give me space!
The only person I can think of who might want to come and be free is not talking to me because apparently I was leading him on and he digs me more than I dig him!

I need people who like music I do and who likes hanging out in pubs who play good music at late notice. Why are all my friends busy?

Guys people NEVER RSVP THOSE BITCHES.

Why have I spent the WHOLE DAY SITTING AT HOME bored out of my brains. I read most of the xkcd archive again just by hitting random and I watched all the recent Improv Everywhere videos. I also beat my own highscore in tetris.

Aww Ali, I'm sorry.

Anyway, I am sitting in a backpacker hostel in Vancouver hogging all the Internet whilst I wait for breakfast and my lazy boy to get downstairs. Yesterday we went to Stanley Park and saw heaps of animals and got a bit drunk!  Being in a foreign country is fascinating (even if my roommates are all German and won't look at me.) Anyway today we are just gonna hang around and do not much because we are exhausted from yesterday. Tomorrow we are catching the ferry to Victoria and it will be neat!

Dear Blog Thread,

I have made a breakthrough on understanding the concept of "cool." Through intensive study, I have discovered the forumla for coolness.

Coolness is determined by an inverse relationship between age and facial hair cultivation.

For an example of my theory, I submit to you Sam versus Joe Hocking. Sam, generally regarded as one of the coolest gents on these here forums, is a scant sixteen years old, but grows a beard that would make a lumberjack cry. Meanwhile, old man Hocking is a baby-faced gent who looks back fondly on Reaganomics. Joe Hocking is rather universally regarded as "lovable, yet inherently uncool."

I still need to adjust my formula to calculate for women, but I'd say this is some pretty intense progress.

Edit: Additional data:

Johnny C. Young, but rather subpar facial hair. Solution? In a band. Variable resolves discrepancy caused by unsatisfactory beardage.

Sam, also in band, further solidified under coolness factor.

Kjære bloggtråd,

I keep reading everywhere that a good help for reaching a goal is to publicize it. This will have to be public enough: I will lose 35 more pounds by April 30th. If I never mention it again it is probably because I've failed, but I do not plan on failing. (Okay, I hope I won't.)

Dear Blog Thread,

So, I got a letter from the IRS today. It was informing me that I should expect my stimulus check by July 11. Also in today's mail: my stimulus check.

Seriously, IRS. Why are you so dumb?

That's something that you can accomplish.  If you increase your exercise buy 20 minutes a day and eat healthy you can loose 5 pounds a month pretty easy.

Unless you are already at the normal weight for your height.

Seriously, IRS. Why are you so dumb?

Never mind that the letters came at the same time, why even send a letter to inform people that another letter is coming?

Also, that doesn't beat my bizarre IRS letter this season, which basically stated (I'm paraphrasing here) "YOU OWE US MONEY!!!! ... Actually, on second thought nevermind, disregard this letter." Even the lady at the IRS (when I called in confusion) thought it was pretty dumb.

Dear witty re-phrasing of the words "Blog Thread",

Today was Attractive Females From Canada Day at work!

Wow.  Nobody told me about this.  I gotta go hang out in Canada sometime.

Plus someone or something left a demonic message on my cellphone.  I gotta post a video about it.

Oh man, who knew music was expensive?

Today I began my project to legitimize my mp3 collection by purchasing vinyl copies of my favorite albums. Two albums cost me $30! This is crazy!
But listening to them now, it is totally worth it, and having nice big album art is awesome!

Man Liz, that is pretty terrible. We have seen not only two mounties in their daily uniform frolicking around the park on horses, we have also seen one in the red jacket and silly hat and pants! Hoorah!
(We win at Canada.)

Oh okay so anwyay Blog Thread, we wandered around today as discussed previously. Also we had a nap whilst lying in the shade at our hostel. Canadians are great and nobody has mugged me yet or run me over, which is pretty neat.

i don't know if i should feel bad or awesome about this

A little bad maybe, but mostly awesome.  You feel it when you are getting faceburn.  If she feels the whiskerburn and keeps up with makeouts, it means it's worth it to her to keep going.  So you are probably good enough at makeouts that it is worth a little faceburn.

Faceburn is not bad.  It's better than hickeys, at least, because the worst faceburn just looks like you tripped on carpet.

This is not as attractive as James thinks it is. Faceburn is pretty much unpleasant.

Also, Lunchy- you were there on Canada Day. Of course the mounties are going to be out in full force in their silly uniforms! We were just their on a regular weekend.

Dear Club Med,

I had a dream that was sort of related to the forums / gabbly last nite.

In it, I was attending a theatrical performance of Wicked, with Tania and Tommy. The actors had the odd ability to teleport around the theater (the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver), so we had to shift around a lot to keep up with the performance. Now, I've only a vague idea what Tania looks like, so in my dream she appeared to look sort of like a young Molly Ringwald, but in punkish attire. Somehow I knew it was Tania. She was eating raw onions at the time, and when I pointed this out she said something along the lines of "I hate your soul... through me." which took me aback some.

As is often the case in dreams, the scene changed pretty abruptly, and we were now on a school bus travelling through Denver with a number of children. We stopped at a hot springs (there are no hot springs in Denver, but whatever) and we all frantically evacuated the bus. Tania disappeared, and a mountain lion materialized, which Tommy began attacking with an axe. The rest of dream consisted of me trying and failing to avoid getting splattered with mountain lion blood as Tommy hacked away. Then I woke up.

Now, I think I understand why some of this imagery came to me. The play "Wicked" is currently being put on at our college for the benefit of local children. I had recently listened to and enjoyed Tommy & Tania's radio show.  I had recently played through No More Heroes, where the protagonist says at one point "I love your soul", I'm thinking the quote got garbled in my dream processes. I'm going to see Feist at the Fillmore next week.

As for the second part of my dream... No idea. Maybe Tania became the lion and Tommy killed her... symbolically? I'm sure there's some stuff in there that psychoanalysts would have a fun time picking apart.

Usually my dreams are pretty vague to me when I wake up, but the appearance of actual known personalities to me seemed to make this one stand out for me.

Fear Dog Lead,

I went to an amusement park today for the first time in like, 2 years! It was quite fun but I got sunburned out the ass, which really sucks. But it was totally worth it cause roller coasters are mad awesome. I also managed to make one of the worst purchases ever: 8 bucks for a really gross flavor of Dip N Dots. Grrrrrr.
