Please snow. Snow like hell until there's no possible way we could go to school tomorrow.

Today is the Blessed Day of Danny's Birth

Is it EVER going to warm up? I'm looking at the 10 day forecast (sp?) right now and in 10 days, on March 9th, it's still not going to even be 40 degrees. I CANT TAKE WINTER MUCH LONGER.
Today is Danny's birthday, he's two whole decades old. Happy birthday Danny! You know, if you had been born on a leap day that would have been cooler. Couldn't you have waited just one more day?? Actually, I just did the math in my head. You weren't born in a leap year. But if you could have come a year earlier, that would have been cool too. Remember how you had that birthday party where everything was Ninja Turtles theme and J.P. and Amanda came over and we did that relay race where you have to run to the other side of the room and put a bunch of clothes on and then run back? Remember how, years later, J.P. and Amanda both turned out to be psychos? Just wondering. Have you seen the pictures from that birthday party lately? You should check them out, I've got a hell of a side-ponytail going on...
Here's my work story-
So friday night I work at this event for 'Project Rhythm' which apparently is SLC's 'hip hop club'. They do MC battles like on 8 Mile. Now at first I'm like are you kidding me? But they were actually pretty good. So they're all warming up, and this girl from the audience comes up and wants to try it. This girl looked like me in my most awkward middle school moment. And what does she say as soon as she gets the microphone? "My name is ___ and I'm here to say" EEK. It was so embarrassing I had to close my eyes and pretend it wasn't happening. But that wasn't even the bad part. A little bit later before the actual thing started, the head guy is like "alright, who's from the east coast?" and a bunch of people scream, and then "Who's from the west coast?" and a bunch of people scream and then he's like "Who's from the midwest?" Who stands up and yells? Just that girl. No one else in the entire place. Seriously, I think the last thing we need in the Midwest is Rap Girl as our spokesperson.
Now I have to do some actual work. There's supposed to be a big snowstorm tonight. Maybe school will get cancelled and I wont have to go to photography tomorrow....

I find that the problem with grocery shopping is that when I come home I just want to eat everything I bought all at once.

Novel idea

I am currently working on a story in which none of my characters die. That's right, all of my characters will make it out of this story. This is a true accomplishment for me. I'll have to maim someone, I think....

We're Jerks.

This is the headline on CNN.com

"Bush ready for showdown with Putin"

Want to know why other countries hate us and think we're big bullies/jerks? Headlines like this are why. Because I read the article and Putin and Bush are just meeting and talking about things, and maybe Bush has some complaints for Putin, but why do we have to make it sound like we're so big and bad and we're going to have a 'showdown' and kick some ass? I think that's so disrespectful of the other country. If I were Putin and I read that headline about what was just supposed to be a simple meeting, I wouldn't negotiate anything.

Hilarious.

This is the conversation Rob had with Ray, our super today.
(Please read all Ray parts with a VERY heavy NY accent)

Rob: Hey, Ray, how you doin? Haven't seen you around lately
Ray: What? You think this building cleans itself?
Rob: No, man.
Ray: You think there's a button around here that you push and the place just cleans itself?
Rob: Uh.. no. I just haven't seen you.
Ray: Well I aint seen you either. Dont mean I aint been here cleaning.
Rob: Um.. okay, Ray. Have a nice day.

Seriously, don't mess with the guy, he's been cleaning, okay?

Things my photography teacher says to me that make me want to punch her in the face

1. "I dont think you understand what I'm talking about"
2. "You do a really nice job of composition when you take the picture, but when you print it you just mess it all up."
3. "Oh no, I like your project, I think you should keep doing it. Just do it better."
4. "I'm not sure you understand the references that I'm making."
5. "I thought I told you to...(insert any number of things she never told me to do.)"

Erin, you'll think this is hilarious- McSweeneys

I spend a lot of time in absolutely ridiculous thought patterns. For instance, this morning's thoughts while getting ready.
I need my eyebrows waxed. If I go to a salon to get my eyebrows waxed they'll tell me I need to get my hair fixed. I need to get my hair fixed. It's too expensive to get your hair cut out here. I'll wait till I go home. That's too long away. Maybe I'll go home on spring break after all and get my hair cut. (Enter Logic) Laura, It's more expensive to buy a $150 plane ticket to get your hair cut than it is to just get it cut for $30 here. Oh. That's true.

More of the Quality Bitterness You've Come to Expect from Lolalou.com

PUBLIC NOTICE TO ALL DRIVERS AROUND MY HOUSE
When coming off of an exit ramp or stopping at a light, please locate the thick white line across your lane. Please note- This is where you're supposed to stop. Now, read this carefully- If you don't stop your car until you're halfway out into the lane or intersection IT COMPLETELY NEGATES THE POINT OF STOPPING AT ALL.
p.s. you're an ass.

Did anyone see the opening of the Grammys? It was truly, truly horrible. So they've got four bands performing little bits of their song, one right after another- it was Maroon 5, Gwen Stefani (have I mentioned on here how much I can't freaking stand her? Seriously, she invokes rage in me), Black Eyed Peas, and Los Lonely Boys. Fine. But then, at the end, they decide that they should have all five bands sing their songs at the exact same time in some sort of 'medley'. Did it occur to anyone that all of these songs have different rhythms? Because it sounded like total chaos.
That's all.
I have way too much to do today to be writing this right now.

Happy "V-tines" Day...

So every morning we get and email about what's going on on campus and what events are coming up. Just thought I'd let you know what the Valentines events for good old SLC are today.

8:00pm-10:00pm, Perking Living Room (9 Mead Way)
The Good Life Free school: Vagina making. Come make puppets,
paintings, collages or any kind of artistic creations inspired by
V-Day. 8-10 pm Perkins living room (9 Mead Way). Art supplies and
dough (for vagina-shaped bread making) will be provided. Everyone
is welcome.

I ask you, who thinks of this? Who sits in their room and says "I know! If we got some dough..."

All Things Creepy

So, apparently someone who drives a hurse moved into my neighborhood. It was never there before, but now all of the sudden, it's parked here all the time. It's really really creepy. Why would someone be driving that around like it was nothing? It's sitting in front of my building as we speak, laughing at me. Let me tell you, it's very disconcerting to park next to a hurse, especially when I'm parallel parking, because for no apparent reason I'm convinced that something horrible is going to happen if I bump it. GO HOME, HURSE! I DONT NEED THAT KIND OF STRESS!
Also, I worked last night at a show that had two bands and they were both really good. The kid was there though. The kid is this.. well, kid... who goes to my school and he is just wierd as hell and he seems to pop up everywhere I go. He has hair that's about an inch above his shoulder, and he's always wearing this blue blazer, no matter what else he's wearing, and this scarf wrapped around his neck and flung over his shoulder and he walks very upright and proper and he's got this gigantic pendant hanging around his neck and he's deathly pale, and I can't describe what it is, but something about him is just really really wierd. I should go back and count the number of times I said 'really' in this post.
In non-creepy news, my friend Alissa works at Borders and who just came walking in there yesterday? Bill Clinton. You know how much I love Bill Clinton. Something about this just isn't fair.

Thanks for nothing, pictures

Today I spent 2 freaking hours developing four rolls of film in the photo lab. And when I finally finish?? TWO OF THE FOUR CAME OUT COMPLETELY BLANK. I have no idea what happened. I've never even had a roll come out with light damage or anything. I was thinking I mixed the chemistry wrong or something, but the first two rolls came out fine and I mixed everything the same for both sets. Heres the bad part, of course the two rolls that didn't come out were the ones with pictures for my conference with my photography teacher tomorrow. On the good side- the two that did come out are of Jackie and Paul's wedding.

Two thoughts, both of them bitter

1. This is one of the headlines on the front of Cosmopolitan that I saw in line at the grocery store.
"Read on to find out what your boy's butt says about his personality."
It was an article that claimed that someones BUTT dictated their PERSONALITY. Are you kidding? Who gets paid to write this stuff?
2. Rob is insisting on watching the end of The Day After Tomorrow, which I could no longer stand watching. Okay. The premise of this movie, the storm, ice age, blah blah. But then the dad who's in D.C. decides to try to get to his son in Manhattan. They get as far as Philadelphia before the car breaks down. And then they get out and start walking. You're going to walk from Philadelphia to Manhattan? Right, let me know how that goes. Further complicating the plot is the fact that it's supposed to get so cold outside that anyone out there will freeze instantly. So he decides to go outside, naturally. Further FURTHER complicating the plot is the question, what exactly is he going to do for his son once he gets to Manhattan thats going to help out in any way, shape or form? Nothing. I banish you, movie. I banish you to the lowest level of bad movie hell.

uninterested,impatient, bored, lazy, uninspired, hungry, sleepy,less than excited, unmotivated, blah.

Dear Food, Where did you come from?

I've just returned from the bar. I was planning to stay there for only one hour, to hang out with people from workshop. But I actually stayed there for four hours. Rob came and hung out with us. Around 11pm food miraculously appeared. Seriously. Pasta and chicken. It was fantastic. Out of nowhere, and free. Manna from heaven. I have no freaking clue where it came from, but I ate two plates of it because I hadn't eaten since noon and I was starving.
