Remember when I said my parents would never bring me pie?

~*~*~*~*~THEY BROUGHT ME PIEEEE~*~*~*~*~

I am so happy :D


My family came up for today's football game. I showed them around my room and then we went and tailgated at the game with Subway hoagies, sushi from the local sushi joint, and PIE~~~

Aside from that, I did basically nothing today.

TRUE STORY

So I totally looked like an idiot when I powerwalked/half-ran into town from campus in under ten minutes, believing that I was going to be late for a scholarship event, and found out that the event had been canceled, according to the nice lady in the restaurant. And then as I slowly, miserably, and dejectedly began to make my way back to campus, I called my (awesome) roommate to tell her that I would be late getting back, forgetting that she and I were in the same scholarship organization and that she of all people would know about events, and she told me it had been moved to a building on-campus.

:|

So I again powerwalked/half-ran back to campus, to burst in the door at exactly the meeting time (thank god that they changed the time when they moved the event). I then proceeded to guilt trip the guy who told me about the event and gave me the wrong place/time in the first place, we laughed at me, and I ate Ben & Jerry's ice cream to make myself feel better. It all ended up working out okay.

Also true story within this true story: Yesterday was August 31st, and on my way back to campus, it was so cold I could see my breath. Oh, upstate New York...

So how are you all doing? My laptop is still being very stupid, and so I am definitely taking it to Tech Support after my 1:20 class (no excuses!) and seeing about the wireless, as well as inquiring about getting an Ethernet cord to jack straight into the phone line. That would probably be better for me in terms of getting Interwebz in my room, at least, especially since I have received information that our student wireless is slow anyway. Sigh.

I'm starting to get a good sense of my schedule. It is packed. I may have to start cutting back on Internet time, and that may mean dropping an RP. D:

In other news, I am learning to like coffee. And vegan food. :D Beans are freaking delicious and healthy. I'm not saying I'm going to go vegetarian, but I do plan to start incorporating much more plant food into my diet. We have great organic options in the dining hall.

I tried out for the university chorus! The music director loved me--secretly, I wondered how good the choral program could be, because my sight reading was a little wonky and my voice was totally dehydrated, and we were still discussing my chances of getting into the chamber choir (elite). Then I wondered if that was just my bad self-esteem, since we have a large and active choral program here and a lot of great independent a capella groups as well, and maybe I am just that good. I've never considered myself to be "just that good" because I've always been behind the amazing and fantastic people from my high school who are going to be music majors and do all sorts of amazing things. IDK. [/self-deprecating prattle]

People are great here. I really love it. C:

Time to stop being such a bum and ACTUALLY POST ABOUT MY REAL LIFE HOMG.

Well, the entire past week was spent with me cleaning every inch of my house in preparation for my Big Grad Bash on Saturday.  And by me cleaning, I mean my family cleaning and me making small contributions but mostly RPing.  *fails, is a bum*

Saturday: EVERY MEMBER OF MY ENTIRE REALLY BIG FAMILY COMES TO MY HOUSE.  We rented a tent and a Port-A-John and a keg of Coors Light (for the adults, ahaha) and everything.  Luckily, I got to invite my buddies and have fun that way.  Unluckily, it pretty much rained about half the time and we never got to roast marshmallows like I wanted to.  Then we went to my basement and played Guitar Hero after everyone left and then we fell asleep stayed up until 5:30 (unless you were [livejournal.com profile] chocomarauder, in which case you fell asleep).

Sunday: Everyone went home, I took [livejournal.com profile] chocomarauder  to church with me, and the we rested for two hours before piling into the car to go to EB's house (one of my friends who was at my party on Sat.) for HER graduation party.  XD  Hers was more fun, because it was gorgeous all day and we had a Slip'N'Slide (hence the grass) and we got to roast marshmallows and run around the woods and roll down her hill until we failed to tumble forward correctly and slammed into the ground on our right kidney and believed for a full thirty seconds that we had been paralyzed from the waist down.  Well, that last part was just me.  Also, lots and lots of cake.  Ughghlgh I am going to be fat.

AND ALSO MY MOM AND SISTERS WENT TO SLEEPAWAY BASKETBALL CAMP AND I AM FREEE~ OF THEM FOR THE WEEK :DDD

Monday: Spent morning in pajamas while coloring in coloring books and watching Spongebob with EB and [livejournal.com profile] chocomarauder , no lie.  Went home, walked dog, spent a nice afternoon/evening hanging out with my daddy.

Today: Finally sent in course paperwork for college (!!!!!!!!!!) after a grueling four hours of squalling infants, wailing toddlers, and ringing phones.  It's a good thing I love books so much.

~~

IN OTHER NEWS: I GOT MY HOUSING ASSIGNMENT!!!

I was one of the lucky few people to get a four-person suite on the first floor in my hall!!!  But that's not the best part!  I managed to contact my roommate via Facebook last night.  She's from South Korea!  SO COOL!  And she seems really friendly and I am totally excited, eeeee~

AND TONIGHT!  HARRY POTTER MIDNIGHT SHOWING!

Here's my response to that interview meme:

from [livejournal.com profile] redbrunja :

1.) If Itachi wasn't your favorite character (and all other Uchiha are ineligable) who would your favorite character in Naruto be and why?

You are so cruel.  Well, that strikes out Itachi, Sasuke, and Madara, my top three, leaving me with... Uh........ oh, man, they're all so awesome...

A tie between Team Hawk and Sai.  Excluding Sasuke, I have to count the entirety of Team Hawk as one character because they are literally all exactly the same for me in terms of awesomeness and I can't choose who is more awesome or the world would explode.

Karin-- Is totally up to something.  I didn't feel like posting when I figured it out, but her whole 'fangirlism' shtick is really an act, and she has some sinister plan up her sleeve that somehow hinges on her being alone with Sasuke for more than three minutes.  And her glasses make her a megane!  IT ALL MAKES SENSE.  Plus her snarkiness and total UST with Suigetsu is win. (BTW, Red, remember when you said you thought she experimented on him and I said I couldn't find the panel?  I saw it on my reread via the American manga.  It's true.)

Suigetsu--MAKES EXCUSES TO GET NAKED.  COME ON.  And he just has those adorable sharky teef, awww~  And he can turn into water~  And he's the most violent/trigger-happy of the team, seems like the person most likely to betray them when it became in his best interests, and then does something silly like GET NEKKID ATTEMPT TO SACRIFICE HIMSELF TO HOLD OFF THE HACHIBI AND LET THEM ALL GET AWAY SAFELY, AKSALDJSAKLDJASKLDJAKLDJAKLD   I LOVE YOU, SUIGETSU, NEVER CHANGE~  Plus his snarkiness and total UST with Karin is win.

Juugo--IS A GIANT FREAKING TREE-HUGGING WOOBIE IN THE BODY OF A CRAZY BERSERKER, SERIOUSLY.  His dynamic with Sasuke is, frankly, fascinating, and he talks to birds~  I have a personal fanon that all Disney movies were banned from Hidden Sound because Juugo watched Bambi and flipped a shit when the hunters shot Bambi's mom.  And he's hot~ and tall~  and nommable~  AND MINI-JUUGO IS EVEN CUTER CUZ HE'S ALL SMALL AND HE ALSO HELPED SACRIFICE HIMSELF FOR SASUKE, BAWWWWWWW~~~  Seriously, Sasuke, these are good people.  You betray them, and I will come eff your shit up.  (But I don't think he will.)

And then,

Sai--SAI IS THE BEST CHARACTER IN THIS MANGA.  NO QUESTION.  He's hot, he's a good ninja, and he has the best Heel Face Turn in the history of not-Itachi characters.  And he is totally hot for Sakura and she totally reciprocates~  And he is just a giant woobie on the inside.  Also, his obsession with a certain word is great lulz.  Ditto his complete ignorance of social norms. :D

2.) What did you eat for dinner?

Pizza and wings.  Mmmm...

3.) Have you ever gotten your hair cut style from a character?

Sadly, no.

4.) Which is better, Naruto or Bleach and why?

Naruto.  It has more plot, treats its female characters better (IN MY OPINION, AND NO, I'VE BEEN IN A GAZILLION THREADS DEBATING THIS POINT, AND I DON'T WANT A THOUSAND COMMENTS ON THIS.  MY POST.), and generally sticks to its themes much better.  Now, if this were early Naruto versus early Bleach, I would have said Bleach, because early Bleach was the SHIT, and I like Kubo's art better than Kishimoto's any day of the week.  But I value plot and character development over pretty. 

5.) Why is your first choice college your first choice? (And on that subject, ROCK ON! *throws confetti)

Colgate?  Because its campus is askaldjskal gorgeous and it has a fixation with the number 13, which is completely my number, and they have cute traditions and it's a small college but also second-tier Ivy League and it has a phenomenal Japanese program and a superawesome study abroad program and just.... When I visited the campus in the fall, it was like a giant brick of "THIS IS YOUR DESTINY" fell and hit me in the face.

Ana, I'll do yours later when I find the alert.  Never fear.
