creepy

I’m creepin’ around on your Facebook profile. My feet are cold.

“I keep asking my kids, ‘When are you going to take risks? When you’re 50 and you’ve got three kids and a mortgage? I don’t think so.”

College Musical One

We’re all in this together! No, just kidding. This ain’t no High School Musical spoof soundtrack. These eight songs embody my experience as a first year college student. Some phrases that come to mind about said experience: grueling, tired as hell, late nights, pancakes, barging in, loss/gain, more pancakes, creepiness, restraint, rip, overload. And just two (2) all-nighters! One unintentional (pearl milk tea-induced), one pre-planned (history paper-induced). So it goes. Enjoy the music.

You know who’s attractive? Bradley Cooper. That is all.

So, I got a C+ on my calculus midterm. On one hand, I was happy I didn’t fail. On the other hand, it’s a C+. With a curve. Without one, I would’ve failed. But these are not the kinds of things I want to read about when I inevitably abandon this blog for years and years only to return on my laptop during a nuclear holocaust because there’s going to be nothing else to do in my bomb shelter except open cans of peas and sweet corn. I haven’t quite come to terms yet, but all the wonderful Voices of Reason around me say that basically

• it’s your first midterm!
• so, don’t worry
• you’re going to be okay
• just study hard for the next one
• and you’ll be fine

And it means a lot to me, even if they don’t really mean it. But I think they do. Midterm season has given me a great opportunity to hone my punning skills, which have gotten somewhat rusty.

1. I just got midterminated, but I’ll be bachhhh.
2. I’m suffering from a midterminal disease.

That’s all so far, but those are pretty good, right? …Right? I NEED YOUR AFFIRMATION. LOVE MEEEEEE.

I have this sheet (two shetes stapled together, actually) of Dwight quotes in 12pt Times New Roman that I printed out last year with my illegal copy of Microsoft Word 2003. (More suspicious keyword search referrals? [I really like parenthetical asides. I don’t know if that’s how you spell parenthetical. Dictionary.com tells me it’s right, so I’ll believe it is so. Uh oh, I should get to class now.]) I found it in my backpack today after class. It made me feel all right. Those quotes always seem to pop up in the strangest places when I’m feeling a little down in da dumps.

First rule in roadside beet sales: put the most attractive beets on top. The ones that make you pull the car over and go, “Wow, I need this beet right now.” Those are the money beets.

There’s nothing on my horizon except everything. Everything is on my horizon.
