Well, I'm sort of back. I still don't have internet in my room. and I'm not sure if I will be able to now because we're only allowed to order through Verizon and they're currently pretty pissed off at me for reasons that would take way too long to disclose...

So, I went camping this weekend somewhere in Clinton, NJ and on one of the days we went to a wine-tasting festival. Even though I showed the woman at the front my ID and it clearly said "Under 21" on it, she gave me a wristband that allowed me to drink. Sweet.I took advantage of this and drank as much wine as possible, resulting in me becoming partially inebriated. I bought some Riesling later on, and everyone I went with received a free gigantic block of cheese. Holy crap that was some good cheese. Even though it's October, it managed to be about 85 degrees out (due to no clouds in the sky) and I got sunburnt, oh no! I have pictures from this weekend, but I'm using Steve's shitty mac and I have no idea how to navigate around. God, I hate macs. Safari has frozen twice on me for no reason, and Adium crashes like every 5 seconds. I fail to see how this is any more stable than Windows.

The roommate situation is awful. I don't outright dislike any of my roommates, but the two girls who share a room with me listen to their music ALL THE TIME and never turn it off, not even when they leave the room or go to sleep. Obviously I respect that people will have different tastes from me, but I unfortunately cannot STAND rap/hip hop/R&B and it's all they ever listen to. I can tolerate it in small doses but this is ridiculous. Plus, I never listen to my music in a manner that would bug other people...I use this magical device called headphones. They allow me to enjoy my music while sparing those around me. I just wish certain other people who live with me would get a fucking clue.

As a result, I've been spending most of my free time at Steve's apartment. I really need to figure out a way around the roommate situation, I don't want my constant presence to get on his nerves. Not having the internet is killing me. Blargh. I suppose I could just ask the roomies to not play music when they aren't in the room etc. but I don't want it to turn into some awkward confrontation.

Nothing else has really happened...I went to my first class of the quarter yesterday (3D Principles) and have been having fairly insane amounts of the naughty "s" word with Steve (I say fairly because it technically could be a little more crazy, but I think we'd both be dead now if that were the case.)

And now I'd like to try something I've seen other people do, because it looks like fun and I'm curious to see what people will come up with.

I'm going to write a sentence. Whoever posts first should add onto whatever I said, and then the next person who comments should add onto that etc, until we end up with a really weird story. Don't be afraid to let your imaginations run wild to the point of ridiculousness!

So here we go.

Somewhere in an alternate universe. there existed a world where sentient potatoes reigned supreme over all other beings...
