Arrgh. Today I got a Slurpee for the first time in what seems like forever. It's a beautiful day for once. Life is good. And for some reason, I suckered myself into taking only one Puffalump to Baylor and I can't pick between Fluffers and Coco. Grr.
Fluffy:
+Is extra cute!
+Isn't falling apart
+Still feels both puffy and lumpy with a nice even ratio of puffiness to lumpiness.
-I would be more likely to take Fluffy out of the room...and with my luck, end up with Mr. Wright's evil twin as a professor. Plus, soul-devouring stuffed animal + sorority parties = no bid.
-Is easy to steal and sell on eBay for quick taco money (Note to potential theives: Puffalumps don't bring much. It'll only get you a couple tacos, if anything. And I know my Puffalump, and if it's stolen and I find you with it, you will get the stuffing beaten out of you.)
-Bought off the internet in the summer after ninth grade
-Supposedly has a peculiar tendency to eat souls..hence the name Fluffy Bunny, Eater of Souls...and a Baptist school...that's a whole lotta soul, right?
Coco:
+Sentimental value galore! I've had Coco since my first Easter.
+Less likely to come out of the room
+Doesn't eat souls
+Less stealable or sellable for taco money
-Would hurt a lot more if I lost it
-Is falling apart
-Difficult to impossible to clean
-Very lumpy, not so puffy
So, I'm stuck. Grr. >:oP

Arrgh...I just realized that I haven't posted in a while and some of you may be wondering what I've been doing. As far as the sunburn goes, that was from watching Dragon Boat races in Kent--see the Chum Bucket on that one. Anyway, I registered for classes, but I'm going to try switching the environmental science (whee, maybe try later...return of Pfeiffer's class) for Spanish because I don't want to forget everything and taking them both seems like a bit much for freshman year. I've been talking to a lot of other Baylor freshmen in the Baylor Interdisciplinary Core (BIC), and they're nice and funny. The BIC message board is quite entertaining. I've started the Aeneid from the BIC book list, and it's getting good. Fight scenes, yay! I think I'm to a part about a grouchy cyclops out to eat some Trojans? Whee, getting interesting! I also discovered that the back of the book tells about the characters and everything...hooray for the return of my good friend BOB! I also started cleaning out stuff for the garage sale--not next weekend, but the one after that. :o) Please buy something. Too much stuff...arrrrrgh.
And today was a day of reading and not much else. Yippee skippee.
And today was a day of reading and not much else. Yippee skippee.
I am sunburnt. Ouuuuuuuchies.
Today, in the midst of some rather awful gastrointestinal distress, I picked up the Ladies' Home Journal with the prez's picture on the front and read the Bush and Kerry articles. Mom was discussing how they had two covers with both candidates and their wives available the other day, so I was like, eh, why not, what else am I going to do in that room? Anyway, after reading them both, I had a strong desire to get out the Pink Pen of Doom from College English and write "explain IN DETAIL," underline various terms and write "DEFINE," and scribble the oh-so important lines of "BE SPECIFIC!" and "What the heck exactly are you trying to say?" (Politicians...meh...asking for precise answers is like asking you-know-where to cool it down a bit, I suppose.) It was Kerry's more than Bush's that seemed to have more of that problem...probably because they asked him about possible future plans more than Bush because Bush has been around for a while and we know what he's doing pretty well compared to a new guy. But still, what's this "vision" of his that he alludes to but doesn't ever quite explain? *reaches for the pink pen to scribble "define" on the page* He claims to want to try to bring our troops out soon but at a responsible time...how does that differ from what we're doing now? And then he made a comment about finding Bush's God-related speech a bit much, but I don't think it's so bad, at least we know what's influencing a lot of Bush's decisions? And as for the random economy shots...shoot...creating 10 million new jobs sounds like an overblown campaign promise to me. True, a lot of jobs were lost during Bush's presidency, but it's rather one-sided to place all the blame on his economic policy. Things can only improve so much until they fall back down again. But then again, I don't think they pried nearly enough into Bush's plans for the next four years...just assumed people know everything and the kitchen sink because he's the current prez.
I guess what irks me the most about Kerry is that he comes off rather juvenile for a presidential candidate. I don't care if a benefit's aimed toward "young people," as one of them, I think official things should be done with more taste and discretion that "whoops, let's not make Beavis and Butthead-style comments about pubic hair because the guy needs to come off presidential here." As many words and names as Bush mangles, at least he or his speakers/performers haven't resorted to potty humor. If you can't behave yourself, move to Britain and get in Parliament where they pull each others' hair, yell, and throw things. And during that article I read today, there was "[His cell phone rings.]" in the middle of one of Kerry's answers. Excuse me? I don't care if he's campaigning, I don't care if it's urgent, I don't care if it's a call from God about an impending apocalypse, it's downright rude not to turn the stupid thing off during an interview or a conversation of any major importance.

I so won this argument.
Manslave: Evil Shelia times infintiy
Me: That is so second grade, fartknocker.
Me: I bet you have cooties and eat poop for breakfast.
Manslave: it works
Manslave: takes one to know one
Me: No it doesn't. You can't multiply anything times an imaginary quantity. Infinity is a theory, not a number...it doesn't exist. Therefore, since Evil Sheila times infinity would still be just a concept, not a number, I'm not Evil Sheila because Evil Sheila doesn't exist.
Me: Boo-yah. Calculus pooty that you don't know that I still remember.
Me: Take that, Mister One Percent.
Manslave: second grader
Manslave: thats me
Manslave: it so counts
Me: It so doesn't count.
And this random mad-lib from Laura came out funny:
Patricia was wearing a pink left sock one poofy day in Idaho at 5pm with a pillow when she spanked manslave.
(Manslave is Theo, for the uninformed...and is nothing like this one girl's description of Aggies who like to shave their heads and get yelled at.)

Whoo-hoo! I get to register to vote in McLennan County, TX, not WA. :o) I'm going to be down there, anyway, I'll probably hear a lot more about the assorted political goings-on down there, and it would be pretty darn pathetic if a poli sci major didn't vote because she had no idea what's going on. Yay!
Anyway...I had to move my bookshelf in my room and I found my old third grade phone book. They provided faculty addresses...they never could've gotten away with that in WA--too many people have big fatty beefs against teachers and things. But what's with elementary English teachers and commutes?! Mrs. Grisham (third grade English teacher and chronic overuser of the word "digress") lived all the way out in Crawford...Mrs. Sims (fifth grade) lived in Iowa Park and I thought that was weird, too. Blecch. Both yucky commutes with a high chance of getting stuck behind or passing slow-moving farm equipment. Why? Sure, it's nice to live away from civilization, but having to get up way too early in the morning to do so doesn't make much sense to me unless there's an interstate or a really good tractor-less shortcut somewhere.
Tee-hee, it's the same phone book where almost all the Spring Valley phone numbers start with 666. Is there something about Hewitt that they're trying to hide? :o) Anyway, I'm kind of disappointed that Baylor's all 710 numbers because my Hewitt number was so darned (haha, perhaps literally) funny. Maybe that would look bad for a Baptist college, so they're not like Hewitt's numbers? Still, in all of my looking up where everything is down there, Hewitt's got the same evil telephone prefix, LOL.
I don't want to start reading for class, but I need to. Yucky. I mean, the Aeneid? Grr. Epic poetry is no fun. Poetry about poop=fun. Poetry about...what the?=not fun. The names make no sense. Male gods that you'd think would be referred to as male are referred to as "she" or "her," which confuses my little "Him"-trained mind completely. Grr...the booklist for the BIC classes is really long.

I got the box open! Yay! Old Navy stuff...though they overestimated my size and I still don't know which [insert last name here] this is. There's size 9 flip-flops...I think those may flip-flop off, but oh well. They're white...I could add interesting things to them...mwahaha...
...or keep them for the dorm shower. I don't have a good pair of shoes for icky dorm showers, and I think that's probably the reasoning behind the shower shoes.
(Reason being to wear in the shower...or with shorts or pants of something along those lines...not with a dress. Does anybody hear this? Anyone? Stop dressing up for dances or church and wearing flip-flops! It doesn't look nice.)

I got a package in the mail today. It still isn't open. You can definitely tell it's Mom's end of the family: absolutely every orifice of the box is taped shut once, possibly twice, and then some.
I also went to the optometrist today. Good: I'm getting pretty glasses with rhinestones on them! Bad: They may be exactly like Ms. West's, perhaps smaller, though. Good: I'll be in Texas. Rhinestones! Sunshine! Rhinestones in sunshine! (Hours of fun for the easily amused...)

My French bracelet essentially farted in my general direction today. I was trying to put away a phone book that didn't want to go back on the shelf and I scraped my thumb with it. Ouchies.
Mmmmm...taco. I went to Taco Bell today and got "the usual" (though I'm madder than heck because they discontinued the yummy Mexi-Nuggets--they were much, muuuuuuch better than Taco Time's Mexi-Fries, grr!) and for some reason, I thought of this one episode of "The Late Show." Dave went to a Taco Bell in a bright red convertible and had it filled with tacos, which he handed out to random people on the street. That was cool.

Interesting Baylor-related observation: no 8 AM courses in the Baylor Interdiscilinary Core. Whoo-hoo! Now I'll just have to figure out how to take the other requirements at times besides way-too-early-in-the-morning and I'm all set...
