Curses!!
Our dorm has been playing this game called "assassins" where the players are given someone to kill (within our dorm) and we have 24 hours to do so without being killed first. Once we kill our victim we are assigned to kill the victim that they were supposed to kill, and the process starts over until there is only 1 person left standing. Anyways... I died. lol. I fail at assassinations. I did successfully kill one of my friends though (we kill people by hitting them with a ball or a nerf dart or a rubber band or something). At least I wasn't first round kill. *shrugs* I'm satisfied. hehehe. Not to mention the fact that i'm still involved in sabotage... but you don't know that...
So I almost cut my fingers off the other day... OK so i'm being a TAD bit overly dramatic, but I did bash them up quite a bit. Kyla stole Molest-a-fish and started running out of the room with him and when I tried to follow, she started to close the door and accidentally caught my fingers in the process. Oops. Moms always warn us of these things, but do we listen? "Don't horse around! You'll poke an eye out!" or break a finger or 2. I went to the doctor and was told that had I come in the night it happened they would have put a few stitches in it, but it was too late. Now I'm getting a battle scar!! I feel tough! *jumps up and down* I also had an x-ray, but i'm fairly sure my fingers aren't broken (I'm not having trouble typing this).
I have found a new (and healthy!) addiction! Yesterday I went to the store and bought a sack of Clemintine Tangerines. I am hooked. I've had the little things before, but never bought them. Now it's like every time I sit down at this desk I have to eat one.... mmmmmm.... or 3. It could be worse. I could be feeding my caffine addiction. At least I won't be coming down with a cold any time soon.
Not too much new here. I've been working on my take-home midterm paper that's due monday. It's not gonna be extremely hard, I'm just afraid i'll leave something out. meh.
Ladies I have learned that if you want to get attention from boys, bake cookies and hand them out in their dorm. Some of my friends and I baked cookies and had a bunch of extra ones (they were HOT!), so we walked around and gave them to unsuspecting Beets (their dorm) boys. There were more than a few pick up lines used... haha. It was amusing.
uuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhh....... That's all. My life isn't extremely interesting. =P
By the way...

Love Sac!
To all those who just resumed college life: Welcome back to reality... To the rest of us who have been at if for a few weeks now: Happy Wednesday! =D
I've added some new pictures to Flicker, so go check them out! I can only upload so many each month so this will be it till February. Now I know that some of you are probably pretty excited to have pictures of yourselves on the internet... Some of you will probably use this opportunity to try to get dates... You might even gain some secret internet admirers, or a stalker or (gasp! could it be?) an INTERNET significant other!... I know it's hard, but please try to contain your excitement...
Just as a general announcement: WE NOW HAVE A LOVE SAC !!! I have to say that i've never been happier in my life. I love my love sac and it loves me. It's a wonderful relationship. Come by sometime and have a sit... Unless you are one of the unfortunate people who wants to steal Molest-a-fish or Barney the Oracle. I know who you are and where you sleep!
I'm trying every option I can possibly think of that will keep me from doing my DCM reading... So far it's working. I really like the class i'm in. It has a good topic and decent discussions. It's also nice to start class early and have the afternoon and evening free... Even so, 4 hours of reading is an awful lot! I'm procrastinating pretty badly right now. I should go soon and finnish it, but I told 2 people i'd post today so I'm keeping my promise. Not much else new here... The Love Sac is pretty darn exciting. I also have new speakers! It's a constant party up in 260 Veenstra. Rock.
By the way...
Joel: Have you changed your name to "Noah Wylde" to create the illusion that you are some kind of secret literary man of mystery? Does this somehow feed your creative muse or do you just want an internet alter-ego? hehe. You guys amuse me. I miss you!
I miss my tag board, but I can't find a new one, and don't know enough html to make one...
**New post coming to God-Only-Knows very soon!!**

My Moment of Zen for the day:
(I just wrote this today)
The Dance
You bowed to kiss my hand
Your fingers gently brushed mine
And we drifted away
Moving as one
In a dream we've had
Hundreds of times before
Your surprise reflected in my eyes
But your smile lit your face
With such a startling brilliance and warmth
That it took my breath away
Time stood still.
Something within me broke away
In that beautiful moment of perfection
Beyond the realm of feeling
It was then that
I felt the tears
Soft on your cheek
And marveled at how precious they were.
Some melody
Ancient and haunting
Was welling up inside of us
Pulling us closer
Spinning us faster
Carrying us on angel's wings
To a higher place
Still untouched and untainted
By our created mortality
Dancing on heaven's doorstep
With the gates thrown open wide
It was then that you brushed a tear
From my cheek
And left a kiss in its place
Saying "angels never cry"
Yet I'd give up dancing forever
At heaven's door
If I could stay here in this moment
A moment more

Love you all, God Bless
