I love it when school is almost over--all that giddy anticipation of not having so much studying to do. I always end up fucking something up at the end of classes, but this semester I was lucky and fixed my problems before they became really bad. For instance, after hanging out with jakbstrd the other night, I checked Blackboard for assignment duedates and of course...

that cracks me up that you stayed up to write a paper and I stayed up to grade papers, both fueled on Margaritas.

my next logarithm shirt will be of the green series.

we should try the Hilton again, just a little earlier so we can go to the bar on the 15th floor. but on a clear night so we can see the stars.

photojournalism huh?
I went to film school for cinematography.. although that's not remotely the same it's still kinda' similar.

You and Jakbstrd will have to show me the cool spots again, all the places I used to hang out at have all either died or changed to something less cool.

*le sigh*

I'm sick of this bus shit. I waited for 20 minutes at the downtown station, got on the 45, which then took me on a tour of fucking Mt. View before it left me off at Providence Hospital, already late by 20 minutes for class. Head down, walking into the snow, I get onto campus and am seriously disoriented, figure the building I need to...

The bus system in this city is piss poor to be sure. When I first moved here my Aunt suggested I take the bus into work so I looked up the schedule and found that I'd have an hour and 45 minute bus ride that took 10 minutes by car. WTF is THAT shit? So I made a deal with her to buy gas if she'd drive me. Then I bought a car as soon as I had money.

They're always having pizza lunches in the Engineering building, you should have asked for a slice and gotten directions while you were there. smile

I've played Cranium more recently than TP. In fact I'm not sure I've played TP in a while. The last time I remember we got bored of moving around so we just sat around asking questions and drinking if we got it wrong. I think drinking if we got it right would have been better, but that's the way it went.

I think they allocate at least one seat in every class to a backwoodsman. You're lucky it was Tesla coming out of his speakers and not Jerry Prevo, channel 13 late Saturday night Evangelical Baptist minister and millionaire. An Anchorage Institution.

If I worked the hours that you do, I'm sure I'd spend all of my days off sipping tea and reading!
jakbstrd:
Mental Floss? I'd be willing to try that out. I better get my books out and start studying.

I did it again---nothing. I sat around all day on my day off reading a book and drinking tea. Now if I were a lady in some 18th century manor, that would be OK. But I'm a lazy college student who should be studying or at least getting out of the house. But honestly, if I had gotten out of the house, I'd have probably...

Damn girl - that's one long entry...

Nothing wrong with a book and a cup of tea on a day off - I try to do that even when I work..

I think that most of America's problem is that everything has gotten so big that we forget about how individual we all are in spite of it all. If we'd just remember that each person has their own self that is different and important, things may not seem so pointless.

So - drink your tea and read your book on your day off and enjoy Alaska's scenery!
jakbstrd:
My guilty pleasure is holing up in my apartment and just reading reading reading. I don't answer the phone, I just read. I feel bad sometimes for shutting everyone out, but it's such a pleasure to read, a good book anyway. If it's a shitty book I usually get bored and find something better.

Why do people have to be such assholes? Is it so easy to forget that you're dealing with a human being? I give attitude when I receive it, but not before and I don't understand why some people are so shitty to store employees.

I used to worry about the whole coporate monster thing and I'm still working for one. They exist at pretty much any occupation you can think of. In some way you're always going to have to deal with one. That's not a cheery thought, but it's life I suppose.

You're not alone. We're all in this together.

And I'm with you on the alien invasion.

Now for something completely different:

I'm not good at the Trivia Sports section either, my answer is usually Ty Cobb or Muhammad Ali. I'm chock full of useless knowledge past and present. At Humpy's (I hate saying it too) is the trivia the national kind on the TV? I used to play when I was in college a lot. I'd win free drinks all the time which was weird that I was able to remember anything let alone random stuff.

I guess the next step in the challenge process is to set a time and place for the TP master competition.

Goob posted this in honor of her being 10 years out of high school.

Take this quiz, post the results, and see how much things have changed since then.

10 years ago...

How old were you? 14 almost 15, but Ican't remember this shit. I'll just do 10th grade.

What grade were you in? 10th

Where did you go to school? Abington High School

Hey! I'm sorry I didn't respond to your comment until now...I've been in Australia for the past month and didn't take the time to check this site while I was there. Plus I think it would be kind of awkward to peruse this site in a public internet cafe. Anyway.

A couple dozen things:
1. don't let Alaska hold you back, be the person you are and fuck what anyone else thinks.
2. We are kind of a lame community up here because we're all drunks and/or shut-ins. Sorry.
3. I was a lazy college student at one time, but my students take the cake. I doubt you're one of mine as I only have one female student. Yep, I teach enginerds.
4. I totally kick ass in Trivial Pursuit (at least I did in the original version, I may have problems in the newer ones...). So take that as a challenge. Though if I had to play teams I'd probably end up pissed because at first no one believes me and then they expect me to know EVERYTHING and so I generally end up drunk and yelling "See I told you!' and look like an ass. Which I probably am. Shit, now you know.

Why don't you assholes update? I'm fucking bored here. Tell me about your scandalous lives or something. The holiday weekend is OVER. Get back to your internet addictions already. Gosh!

My car is frozen, meaning it will not start, it will not do anything. I'm having it towed tomorrow to a garage. So, today I had to take the bus. Luckily I can ride for free b/c I'm a student and honestly it was really fun. It's not far to the bus stop downtown and it drops me off about a block away from work....

Ok I've been on the computer long enough to have more to say.
#1-It is quite sad that I've been on the computer this long
#2-I've really been thinking about myself and I kind of realized that I've been dulling myself down for the sake of trying to fit in here in AK. So to make me feel like me again, I bought some green...

loki_dog:
first off miss evilflapjack,

i wouldn't worry about fitting in. the real reason most alaskans are here is because they don't fit in anywhere else.
i also wouldn't worry about falling in love. falling's easy. it's getting back up, and washing the footprints off the back that's difficult. trust me.

So I have two Thanksgiving invites. One from Amy at work--in which I hear there will be much consumption of hot whiskey and cider; and then there are Alyssa and Patrick, a married couple who are friends of Courtney's who brew their own beer. Decisions, decisions. But you know what I really really wish? That I could be back in Philly for Gooble 4, or...

I may have to take a nap when I get home.. I wanted to sleep as long as I could so I could be wide awake for Gooble, but it wasn't happening... I will be albe to sleep in on Thursday morning though. I wish you could be here for it ... And I will pass your affection on to our hostess. love

Wait - shouldn't you be sleeping now too?
nyssa:
That porn thing gets me every time. As well as the nose picking and the journal stalking. I'm so glad I'm such a busy person.

The good news about being up this early is that I can get my porn fix and not run late when I'm getting ready for work. Which reminds me - I have errands to run after work today - so I should really find a change of clothes too.

I totally forgot about SG and then I looked at my bank statement to see a charge from SG Services..oh yeah! I better get my money's worth now. I don't know if I will be renewing next time. I don't really feel the AK community too much. Not too many people up here and none of them makes an effort to talk to me anyway,...

I miss Philly and all the people I love. It's lonely without love. I saw an enormous golden rabbit yesterday and it made me happy. It was just sitting in a used car lot looking very astute by the chainlink fence. I was so hell-bent on being depressed yesterday and that rabbit...

Last night the Northern Lights were out and could be seen from all over town. It was so amazing and just the thing I needed yesterday. That's the kind of thing that makes me love being here. I rushed home and grabbed my tripod, and a couple of my neighbors tagged along with me. We drove out to Potter's marsh so I could get some...
