Truth be told, I spend way too much time on Mylifeisaverage.com And while the stories on there are quite often amazing, I feel like sharing my favorites, to maybe make one of your days a little bit more awesome.

Today a student-teacher started teaching my Science class. His name is Mr. Webb, and he looks like Peter Parker. We decided to test his skills, but having three kids each throw a pencil at him, at the same time, from different directions. He caught them all, and then threw each pencil back at the kdid who threw it first. I think I may have met Spiderman. MLIA

Today, I was trying to telepathically get my best friends attention in english class, after several attempts a boy I had never talked to before turned to me, smiled and then shushed me politely. I am terrified of him. MLIA

Yesterday, my car was stolen out of my driveway when I left it warming up before work. Today the police found my car abandoned in a parking lot. There was a note on the seat that said "I got the oil changed since it was 7,000 miles overdue. You should take better care of your car." Thanks car thief. MLIA

Today, while texting a friend, I learned that my phone auto-corrects my spelling. When I type 'okayyyyy?' my phone changes it to 'platypus?' I believe that is a perfectly acceptable substitute. MLIA

Today my boyfriend and I were on our way to a pep rally at my university when we noticed a sign taped on to a man hole cover. Thinking it was just something posted by maintenance, we went to read it. It said 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Now hiring! Are you turtle enough? Apply within'. MLIA.

Today, my parents were discussing to me and my two younger brothers what would happen if they died. My one brother said "I'll get two jobs to help out." I nodded and said "Yeah, I will too." My youngest brother said seriously, "I'll probably turn to a life of crime." I think he's the most honest of the three of us. MLIA

This summer, I became friends with a guy who told me that, if I ever needed help with anything, I just have to whistle and he would be there. After lunch today, my ex-boyfriend and I were dreading climbing four flights of stairs to get to class, so I tried it. The guy appeared out of nowhere and piggy-backed me to the top floor without saying a word. My ex is still confused and I think I just made friends with a superhero. MLIA.

Today, I walked into my apartment and saw someone sitting on my couch, dressed as Megatron. I screamed for my boyfriend, who then came running out of the kitchen dressed as Optimus Prime, and threw Megatron to the ground. My boyfriend then came up to me and told me that he would fight decepticons for me any day. He then got down on one knee and proposed to me. I accepted. I don't know how I'm going to explain this proposal to my parents. MLIA.

The site should really be renamed My Life is Awesome. Good day.

Aaaaand Fox has canceled Dollhouse.

Suck, because it was just starting to get so much better.

But also, justice, because it really didn't deserve the spot over Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, anyway. BRING THAT BACK, FOX, IT HAD MORE VIEWERS ANYWAY.

My roommate is an avid watcher of Gossip Girl, and there's been this huge build up towards last night's episode, where three of the characters were supposed to have a threesome, but the previews always left you guessing as to who it was.

Earlier that evening, Jessica (My roommate) also needed to watch The Terminator for a class (best assignment ever? I think so) so she was out in the lobby watching my copy, and while she was out, I saw a spoiler discussion of the threesome from people on the East Coast who had seen it already. I didn't really bother with it, because I've only seen a few episodes, and have no real attachment to the show.

So when Jessica finished T1, she comes back into the dorm and declares it was boring. I told her to shut her whore mouth, it was epic and she knew it. She continued to diss on it, so I told her if she didn't admit she was lying, I would tell her who was in the threesome in Gossip Girl. She instantly starts backtracking and saying how awesome the film was, and so on. I laugh, but she's still staring at me, looking terrified.

Gossip Girl came on at 9, and over here at Western during the week we have Late Night, which is snack like foods served from 9:30-11:30, and that night just happened to be Cheesy Garlic Pizza night, which is the most delicious food ever.

She decides she wants to watch GG on the TV when it airs instead of later, so we're sitting there, watching the episode, and I glance at the clock, realizing it's 9:28. This follows:

Me: You know, this threesome is going to make us a half hour late for late night.
Jessica: Yeah... :/

Three seconds later, after we realize what we've just said, we both break out in hysterical laughter. I think we scared some people on our floor, and intrigued others. :P


Also, Campus wide Human vs Zombie begins tomorrow. I love my school.

This icon is perfect for this journal entry.


So, I live at the top of the third floor, and one side of the hall is girls, and the other is boys. Down the boys hall, Chris and Mark are roommates, and live next to Nathan and Zack.
Well, it's Chris' birthday on Monday, and he went home for the weekend. So Nathan, Zack and Mark decide they're going to fill Chris' side of the room with newspaper. So me and my roommate get invited to help them today after dinner.
So we're thinking, yeah, alright. Cool. We get into the room and start seperating newspapers, and covering his walls with them. Then they pull out like seven phonebooks and start shredding the pages out. We end up filling up his bed, his desk, the drawers of his desk, his dresser, the inside of his dresser, the top of his dresser, the drawers in his dresser, under his carpet, in his pillowcase, the huge space under his bed around his TV, the tiny space in between the wall and his dresser, all with torn out pages from phonebooks.
This doesn't sound like much, but after he comes back on Monday, I can post pictures. Let me tell you, it was epic.
Also, our RA came in, blinked, and approved. So. <3
Oh and Mark, his roommate, also left for the weekend, so he can claim innocence.

I think I picked the right college, guys.

This is the best thing ever. EVER.

SEE SISTER? THIS IS WHY I LOVE ohnotheydidnt! THIS, RIGHT HERE, IS WHY.

Cannot stop laughing. I'm just waiting for my RA who lives next to me to come knock on the door asking why I'm in hysterics.

Friends of Pattinson say the star needs to pull himself together, and suggest that he should find fat girl to use as a “slump buster,” adding that there is no shortage of eager fat girls among his “Twihard” fanbase.

PFFFFT THAT'S MY FAVORITE PART. AHAHAHAHA.

Ha. You should click. :D

Edit: lol HTML fail. Fixed.

More specifically, I love my dorm mates.

My roommate Jessica and I are both taking part in NaNoWriMo, and we have a sign on our door, detailing what we're doing and why we're both going to be hermits for the whole month.

At the bottom of the sign, it says something like, "so please keep the noise outside this door down to a dull roar, and feel free to send us your warm thoughts and sugar, because we're going to need all the help we can get!"

and today, our neighbor from across the hall, whom neither of us really know, knocked on our door and gave us two fruit sodas, telling us that they were to help with our "National Novel thing."

We were both like, "o_o Thanks!"

And then when the door shut, we were like, "....AWESOME!"

ahaha, Western. <3

What's your problem with subtitles, America? Why can't you just read and watch at the same time? Isn't it cool to sometimes watch a film in a foreign language? Don't you like hearing words that are not English?

WHY MUST YOU REMAKE EVERTHING?! YOU NEVER  AMOST NEVER DO IT BETTER.  STOP STEALING FROM EUROPE.

 

ffffft my classmates are lazy. We watched a flim called "Men", which was a German film that was absolutely hilarious. And everyone's all, "BUT WHY MUST WE READ SUBTITLES ARGHASLFJDSGLFDH"

Screw you guys, German is awesome and it's not that hard to read.

Also, Adventures in Collegeland quotes:

Kevin: Jeeze, Jessica, you have a problem staying straight! (referring to her driving in Mario Kart)
Me: Yeah, we're roommates, and it's awwwwwwkward.
Jessica: pfffft.

Jordan: (who is are Eco Rep, and hugs trees and stuff) Julian, you left your computer on! I Had to turn it off for you!
Troy: ... I left my computer on. When I came over here.
Jordan: Julian WENT HOME. FOR THE WEEKEND.
Julian: IT WAS ON HYBERNATE!
Jordan: IT WAS ON!
Jessica: *whispering to me* we left our fan on for like, four days.
Me: Shh! Don't tell the Eco Rep!

Also! FUCK YOU HISTORY I AM NOT MINORING IN YOU YOU ARE PAINFUL. RGGH.

Apparently, the JSA is supposed to make an appearance in Smallville soon. And by the JSA, I mean Hawkman, Star Girl and...some...other person I forgot BECAUSE IT'S THE JSA NOT THE JLA AND THEREFOR NOT IMPORTANT. But anyways. Apparently, the episodes they're in are supposed to make comic fans "lose their shit". Which makes me think that we will all be outraged, yet again, by the comic fuckery that is Smallville. Or it could mean that it's going to be amazing, as apparently the JSA is supposed to come and give Ollie and Clark a lesson on how to be real heroes, and not just angsty bitches.

Also, Speedy 2.0 (Mia) is supposed to be on this weeks episode, and they're actually taking the risk of making her HIV positive like she is in the comics. As awkward as it is to be excited that a character is HIV positive, I'm happy that Smallville is willing to put itself out there and stay true to the comics in a controversial zone.

Also, Ollie apparently nicknames her Speedy after he lets her drive his car. D'awww.

So, I'm prepared to 'lose my shit', I suppose. Ahh, Smallville. I know it's hopeless, but I'm still waiting for the day Bruce Wayne makes even the tiniest cameo. Still. Waiting.

They need to invent a miniature harp seal that will just stay like this, all the time. :D It's all, "Haay~!"


This was spawned out of a Canadian seal clubbing wank post on ONTD (via PETA), and so I decided to go look at cute harp seal babies. And also, PETA, btdubs: no one really clubs the seals anymore. They have far more humane ways of killing them (like most hunters/farmers of today), and it's my understanding that if you kill a baby seal, Canadian law, like, eats you or something.

Saw Bo Burnham yesterday at the Moore.

Epicly hilarious.

Possible lyme disease (they don't really know, so they just gave me drugs).

Have a head cold and wicked cough.

Train back to Bellingham today.

Hurgh. =_=

What could someone potentially DO with a Linguistics degree, anyway? Besides, you know, teach?

Why is that the only career option for pretty much EVERYTHING I want to study? I don't want to teach! I don't like people!


tralala I really need to pick a Major/Minor. Well, a Major, because I'm totally minoring in Creative Writing ha.

Journalism, maybe?

feh. Useless degrees.

FEEL MY ANGST, LJ.

   So, I'm sitting in my Sociolinguistics class, on one of the far left seats, because only the ones at the very beginning of isles have left handed desks (facist, I say!). The boy in front of me, whom I can only see the back of his head, has an open Macbook, and is, quitely obviously, on Facebook. Which is really distracting, even if my Sociolinguistics class is my favorite class ever. So occasionally I glace over at his screen.

   So I glanced down once, and a picture caught my eye. Northstar! The Marvel hero! I was curious, because he's not a very well known hero, and it made me happy to see a random picture of him on the pontentially-cute kids Mac. A few seconds later, I glance down and see Wiccan! Another favorite Marvel hero. I'm starting to get really happy, and am running over potentially geeky conversations starters to talk to possibly-cute kid at the end of class.

   He spends the rest of class looking up Halloween costumes while we watch a film, and right when class is winding down, I notice the rainbow ribbon attached to his backpack, and suddenly feel a wall of disappointment as he turns around and turns out to be super cute.

   Why? You may ask, he was cute! Why disappointment?

   Well, Northstar and Wiccan really only have one thing in common, besides both being lesser known Marvel characters. They're both gay, see. And this kid had a rainbow ribbon on his backpack.

   I still would have talked to him, had I not been overwhelmed by disappointment, and if I sit next to him again, I definitely will.

   But, D:

   Ahaha, my school makes me laugh so much. There's totally a game of Quidditch going on over by Edens Hall. Ohhh man. I have some friends playing, too. Ahh, <3.

   So, the Arboritum is this reconstructed foresty type thing that goes around the edge of half the campus, and it's full of all these trails and look-out towers and cool things. It's also really isolated, so it's a good place for me to go and talk to myself and not look like a total freak. But it's totally man made, even though it looks like a regular nature trail type thing, so there are all these secret little corners tucked away and they're super awesome. There's a random outdoor stone stage type thing along one of the trails, a little hut made entirely out of fallen trees tucked just out of sight of another trail, and all these little hidey places that you know were totally made for secret parties.

   There's nature everywhere~

io9 on Smallville:" In an episode directed by Glen Winter, we'll encounter a sexy new superhero in his late 30s-40s. The casting notice says he's the most handsome and sexy of all the DC superheroes. The episode will film at the end of the month."

PLEASE BE BOOSTER GOLD, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

Ohhh man. You know, when you have a dorm with a little over a hundred people in it, it might be nice to warn us all before you decide that, hey! 8 pm would be the perfect time for Alpha's firedrill! Let's do it!

Because you know, if you let us all know, then we wouldn't have been, oh, say, in the shower, in the middle of shaving a damn leg, when the alarm, which sounds more like a long, drawn out foghorn, goes off. JUST SAYING. It would have been nice.

So I'm sitting there, seriously contemplating just finishing my damn shower, when I finally decide I should probably get dressed and leave. So I do, sopping wet, trudge outside for you to pleasantly tell us all, "if you don't get out of the building within three minutes, you're dead~! :D" aha, sweet. And then you add, oh so pleasantly, oh Mr. Indian Dean of Students, that if we see an injured or incapacitated person on our way out of the building, we shouldn't stop to try and help them, we should just leave them there and get ourselves out first.

Chyeah, because being a good samaritan is for losers and burn victims.

And then to also pleasantly tell us that because our dorm complex thingy is such a high density populated area, that we have priority over the other areas. Just in case we didn't understand what that meant, you illustrate with, "so, if grandma's having a heart attack and they're trying to help her, and they get the alarm for here, they're going to leave and come here, so, bye bye grandma. So, uh, don't pull the fire alarm unless it's an emergency."

....they have to create their own citation style! Because, oh ho, it would be waaaay to easy to just use MLA like the rest of the world, or even, hey, APA, if they wanted to be total dicks.
   But no, they go and create their own! And it's not that it's difficult, see. Chicago Manual Style (or whatever) is actually fairly simple! I'm not complaining because it's hard. I'm complaining because they just made it up, and it's one more thing for professors to be all, "Hey! Poor college students! Use this or fail my course! What? You've never heard of it before? Tough!"

Rrrrgh. I mean, little numbers at the end of quotes that correspond to citations in the back of the book or the bottom of the page. Not hard! Really. And not unusual. But why can't you just use what everyone else uses? Why do you have to be special?

Also, I can't believe people honestly study Logic for a way of life. I get (sort of) that it's part of Philosophy, but they're not philosophers, see, they're logicians. No, that's not a valid argument form, even though it's true, because it's a modus tollen and you screwed up the second line because you didn't use the word 'then' and it's invalid! 
...But... what I said was right.
But it wasn't valid!
But it was still right.
Not important.
/Logic'd!
 

My Sociolinguistics class, however, makes me want to major in Linguistics and roll around in it forever. Yeah, that's right. Roll around in Linguistics.


also: oh God it's cold up here. D: Canadian border, why must you be so cold?

Are Americans the only ones with really bad taste in foot apparel, or is that universal current fashion trend? Having not been to any other country besides a brief stint in the touristy parts of Canada, I don't really know! And I'm curious. Because the people here have terrible taste.

Seriously, people, flip flops? Are for the beach, or quick walking when you don't want to put on REAL shoes but don't want to go without them. They are terrible for your feet! Granted, not that my Chuck Taylors are very good for mine, but they're better than flip flops! And the sheer number of them! Honestly! It's SEPTEMBER! It's not particularly cold yet, but still!

Ballet flats, too. They are cute, and on occasion, they totally work, but every day, everwhere?

STOP IT, WESTERN. WEAR REAL SHOES YOU BUNCH OF HIPPIES.

anyways. >.>

/rant.

All moved it at school.


This just might drive me crazy.

But I have no roommate, which is kind of nice.
But also very quiet. o:


Classes start on Wednesday.

I'm going to be a ball of nerves~

FOR FUCK'S SAKE LEAVE A DAMN REVIEW, DON'T JUST FAV MY STORY YOU LAZY BASTARDS.

I have the strangest urge to go to Texas.


:/

I wonder if I could talk some friends into a winter break roadtrip... to...uh...Texas. >.>
I DON'T KNOW OKAY.

Of course I get this urge when summer ends. Right? Of course. Ha. I COULD STILL DO IT I HAVE TIME BEFORE SCHOOL.

EDIT: According to Mapquest, it would take 32 and a half hours to drive 2128 miles to Dallas, TX and cost around 200$ in fuel. I COULD TOTALLY DO IT GUYS.
