Boys will be Boys Posted at 01:34 PM Well folks, I have now graduated to the Advanced Mode of Tabulas.com. But anyways, let's skip to the topic of this entry. As many of you may be aware, most of the friends I made last semester were guys. Actually, make that, ALL of the friends I made last semester were guys except for Sarah King, who's just special. Everyone else in that horrid English 1102 class were cool and all, but Sarah and I had both Calc II and English together. Anyways. I go through Physics and Biology every day in the company of some great girls: Anjuli, Lulu, Lively, Deb, and Sophia's Roommate. Biology is estrogen hour. We laugh, we complain, we chat a bit much, but over all, we have civilized fun in that class. Dinnertime rolls around and Colin's recruited what I've termed, the "Nerd" Group. I know we're all nerds here, but the original "Nerd" Group were the Nerds of Chattahoochee high school. These people are: Jia Jia, Colin, Kyle, Jason occasionally, and Jeff joined in Senior year. At Gatech, the "Nerd" Group expanded to include Miltoner Nathan (who grew an icky beard), brooding wizardly Sean (who shaved his beard and got a haircut so he's not so brooding and wizardly anymore) and JasonStuartMoore (that's his s/n btw), who's the only one that hasn't undergone major facial hair changes since first semester. They usually have interesting conversations and all, but half the time, they're just being gross, sick, immature, and insert too much sexual innuendo into everything. Well, what can I say? They are of the male species after all. By the end of dinner they've turned into their true neanderthal forms and are ready to retire in their caves. That's when trouble starts to brew. Sean followed the rest of them to Freeman to pick up his C-mas present from Jia Jia, which turned out to be this mini screen thingy, with flowers on one side, and Chinese women on the other. Then Jeff suggests Mario Kart. Then Colin brings up Double Dash. Then they borrowed it from someone on their floor (I think it was Jamie?). Then we get to playing. Jeff, Nathan, Sean, and I played for about 2 and a half hours before I decided I needed to get my physics Web assign done and turned in. They are such a bad influence. It was the second day of the semester, and I'd already broken my work ethic and played a video game. Shame on me. The rest of them kept at it till midnight. |

I stand corrected Posted at 12:38 AM My profile used to say: Last night was the first time the guys have seen a naked girl... in a towel. However, Mr. brooding Sean says: Malystrix5: I've seen a naked girl before tonight o.o mut Esiren: in the flesh? Malystrix5: yeah... mut Esiren: okay mut Esiren: you can stop right there Malystrix5: you best be correcting your profile ^_^ |

Fish Home Improvement Posted at 11:10 PM Well. I've been inspired to write actual, meaningful posts on this blog b/c I read other people like http://www.tequilamockingbird.blogspot.com 's blog and all I can think is "wow". Wow my life is no where near as interesting. But it's no where near as boring as http://www.wibsite.com/wiblog/dull/ that site which is the dullest site in the world. So. Today I picked up Colin and dragged him fish home remodeling with me. See, Melvin, that's my betta fish, has been depressed lately. Or acts it. For all we know, that fish may be smarter than I am and probably knows that if he sits real still and rarely swims around, I'll panic and think he's dying because he's got no purpose to life so I'd have to go and buy him new living arrangements so he'll be happy and amused again. So we went to Petco (at least 3 times now) for nice betta vases but what do you know, they only have the same, 6-inch vase I have at home. I thought about getting Melvin an aquarium, but then I decided that normal average goldfish get aquariums, and Melvin's a betta fish and can live in a vase cause he's special like that. So I decided to go with the vase. The Petco guy was really trying to convince me to buy something so I told him I wanted a large vase to put large plants into and the man told me to get an aquatic plant. Well, I went to The Fish Store somewhere downtown with God the other day (God is also known as Christen Caines to some people) and their fish specialists told me that betta fish hate sunlight and told me to stay away from aquatic plants which need lots of light. So who was telling me the truth? Personally, I don't think Melvin cares either way. He's never been subjected to intense amounts of sunlight anyways so it wouldn't really matter now, would it? Anyways. We next went to Walmart because they actually have a pet section. I've forever shunned Petland because their idiot pet people told me to feed my salt water hermit crab fruits and veggies that a land-loving tree hermit crab would eat. So after wandering through row after row of pet supplies (mostly dog and cat stuff), we found no vases. So we went through the Home Decorating section containing dishes and stuff. Nothing. We did however, find clear glass water pitchers, but I didn't think Melvin would appreciate living in something with an attached handle for easy gripping and a curved edge at the top for easy pouring out. So. We finally wandered aimlessly from aisle to aisle until we came to the fake silk flower section. Now as strange as this seems, they put ALL of their glass vases, colored and uncolored, in the fake silk flower section. So I picked out a nice large 11-inch vase with a sticker at the bottom that read "betta fish vase", a packet of pink irridescent glass decorative beads (which was still in the same aisle), and went on our merry way. Now, it was time to go plant hunting. Usually, people put those gigantic ugly peace lilies in their vases, and tie a large bow around the neck of the vase to try and hide the ugly, filamentous roots. Bamboo has recently sprung up as being these great "lucky" stalks, but I fail to see anything lucky about them. Bamboo is bamboo. Pandas eat it, and we eat it sometimes, so that's not so lucky for the bamboo. Anyways, God says Target sold half dead (or half alive) stalks of bamboo, but the only place I was sure that had healthy bamboo was at this random store called Earthbound at the Discover Mills mall way out there in somewhere past the bridge that takes you to I-85 if you turn right before the closest stoplight to it. So we went to Discover Mills, parked at the Burlington Coat Factory, and started walking right. Now if any of you has ever been to Discover Mills, you'll know that it's in a doughnut shape. In the middle of that doughnut is the food court. Now, had we started walking left towards the Bass Pro Shop, we would have been there in no time. However, we started right, came to the quarterway point, crossed through the food court to make a figure 8 around the mall, walked halfway through the mall, crossed the food court the other way, and finally arrived at Earthbound. So I finally picked out two *healthy* stalks of curly bamboo and ended our shopping trip. Oh wait. I lied. We passed by Rack Room Shoes on our way out, saw the 65% clearance sale sign, and dragged the reluctant Colin in. I came out with a pair of studded clogs and we finally went back to the Webster house. ![]() |
