Famous Last Words

Well--maybe not famous, but this is what I have taken it upon myself to assign as the probable last words of some people I know. Peter & Nathan came up with their own...

Nathan--"Hey Micah, watch this!"

Micah--"No, watch this."

Mom--"Do NOT tell your father about this."

Hope--"Told you I could do it by myself."

Annie--"OOOps"

Joben--"Essentially--the doctrine of death is about to become concrete reality for me. Well, only concrete in the philosophical sense of..."

Kyle--"Are you sure this isn't going to be on the test?"

Dad--"I knew it!"

Rachelle--"Or we could do it a better way and not die at all."

Peter--"It sounded good at the time."

Heather--"I have decided that there is no such thing as death!"

Well, I suppose it could be a lot worse!!

Things that I have learned this year

No matter how bored you are, never cut your own hair.

It only takes one good cd to get through the most hellacious allnighter.

Sometimes I wish the freshmen wouldn't grow up.

College is the only time when you wake up with a stranger in your room and think it's normal and go back to sleep.

Do not try to do things you are not physically capable of just because you think you ought to be able to do them.

Couples REALLY annoy me (with some exceptions).

Quarters are worth way more than 25 cents.

I don't care what anyone says. I love mockingbirds.

Do not arm wrestle basketball players. It hurts too much.

Cooking Ramen is an art.

It's all a lie. Technology doesn't simplify anything one little bit.

The thing that actually annoys me about roomates is when they are nicer, neater, etc, and make me look like a mean slob.

Half the time people have no idea what I'm saying.

Writing creativity flows the most when you really need to be doing something else (like now).

My Stupid Quote of the Week

Nathan speaking to girls at dinner table: "Well, you could go see "Sentinel" it's got some pretty good action--

Hope interrupts, banging on table: "Oh, you should see that one that was really good that started with a C, what was it called?!!

Nathan: "I believe you are referring to "Sentinel" which incidentally, starts with an "S".

Hope: "Oh yeah, you should go see that one."

Don't worry, I'm trying to write a couple of serious ones, but they take more time!!

Quote of the Moment

"Man, you're really out of it aren't you?"

--Peter, 30 minutes after I finished my last final

Our lots have been cast, and they have landed in Hell

That's what Kyle randomly said this morning as we were discussing the unsurpassable joys of being forced chem minors who don't like and aren't good at chem with an abusive chem department.

I am finished!!!!

I would like to share with you all, that I feel in the depths of my tired heart that four finals in 26 hours is two many, but right now I'm just glad I'm done.

I'm going to bed now, and I have absolutely no idea when I'll wake up. Joben, if I am still asleep when you get here this weekend, you have my permission to wake me up then.

~The Tired One~

What the heck! Where's Maximus? or The lament of a confused fish mama.

Just when I thought it wasn't possible for anything else to destract me from studying for finals...

One of my fish is gone.
I don't mean that it's dead and floating at the top,
or dead on the bottom,
or eaten by my other fish,
or jumped out and on my desk.
It's just gone.

I feel very stupid. I have looked on the top, on the bottom, and amongst the plants. I have looked for bones (other fish were hungry?). I have looked inside the intake tube just in case it died and got sucked up. I've even looked in the filtering system. I have looked in the other fishbowl, just in case. It's really not there. It was there and acting perfectly happy 24 hours ago. The other three seem fine, and the lid has been on the entire time, so far as I know.

My only guess is that either it was abducted by space aliens who know what I have said along about it being no ordinary fish, or else someone took it for a prank, in which case it had BETTER be ok, or else it died and one of my roomates flushed it and didn't tell me, which seems odd, since I am very attached to my fish.

So if anyone finds a lonely lost fish...
