a random day

today was odd. an oddball of a day.

dignal and i both have speeches to give on monday--persuasive speeches that have to do with nudity in the abercrombie ads. i really don't care about this topic, so i'm floundering. i still haven't started anything on it beyond checking out the track jackets on the website.

which i actually liked.

so i was IM'n digs, and we decided to not do homework together at ivanhoes. so we did. ran into the ervins (people from HCWC)...that was slightly awkward. they all came up and hugged me though. amanda was same old...cindy seemed happy to see me, but heather seemed standoffish and judgmental. which makes me sad. because if she thinks bad things about me, the rest of them do too ('ceptin brittany). crap. yeah. so we got our food, but there were no free tables in either room. i suggested we take our food (and eat it too) at taylor. off we went.

taylor was closed. dead. must've been spring break.

we headed to the student union and tried a couple doors (locked) til there was one unlocked. it opened to a little foyer area, and there were two other doors (one to culture outreach or something, and one to the main part of the SU). those doors were locked. so we just sat in the foyer and ate (it was cold and blust'ry outside). dignal may or may not have left a ranch dressing packet of substantial size underneath one of the mats on the floor so that if someone steps in the exact right place dressing will get all over their shoes. we thought up that one together.

then we headed back to my car. not being sidewalk nazis, we attempted to go from point A directly to point B without making A 1/2 or anything....(did that make sense? we walked in a straight line. through grass. screw sidewalks.) while stepping over the curb and into the grass i felt a very decided crunch under my foot and started shrieking. i stepped on a LOBSTER. okay it wasnt a lobster. it was a very large crayfish of somesort. in the grass. in a taylor parking lot. WHAT THE CRAP. so i screamed and screamed and shuddered and dignal taped it. then she picked it up (with paper) to save it. put it in my car. we started to pull out when i realized there was a dead bird next to my car. so we pulled over to get it and i made her put all nonliving creatures in the trunk. they were freakish.

then back to campus, stash dead animals in various places in anthony's room (i'm really just there for the moral support. and the stories i can tell my kids.) oh, and i have a spiffy new-to-me pair of brown polyester pants. i'm pretty stoked.

mcconn run...we split an avalanche (i like that phrase out of context). we got mere a ginger tea and headed to the art building where we caught her and jon making out posters. posters.

then there was a "business meeting" at steak and shake with various people from various walks of life. perhaps it even counts as a cultural experience.

and then when we got back and i parked i was telling meredith about the end of amelie and how great it is and the guy's nose.......and since i can't physically melt i fell down to the ground and buried my face in the grass to illustrate for meredith the extent of the greatness of it. she understood. and laughed at me.

oh, and earlier in the story i made her pinky swear she would sit in the front seat of my car but she didnt want to pinky swear so i had to force her and she screamed that i pinky swear raped her.

and then there was monkeydith's love problems.
