Questions In My Mind, They Only Seem To Confuse Me

Few quick nifty things.

A few days ago I auditioned for an improv show, Forms of 42, and I got in so I'm now a proud improv-er which is fun except that rehearsals are 10-midnight on weeknights. Yikes. But the first practice was really fun and I'm really glad I went out for it. It does wonders for your ability to create characters =)

Also, I got a radio show on WVKC, the college radio station. They give them out to whoever wants them so it's really not a big deal, but it'll be fun. =) I'll be on the air 10:35 thursday mornings on 90.7. You know, since you guys will all be driving through Galesburg at that exact time.

My suitemates have turned me into a facebook addict. Damn them.

On Saturday I'm going to a Harvest Festival thing with the Photography Club which means I need a camera, stat. I'm hoping someone will lend me theirs.

October 2nd cannot come soon enough [or last long enough].

And Then I'll Make A Fake Degree...

Really, I should be asleep. I've got a class in 7 hours.

But I'm too awake for that. =/

So, college. I suppose this is a little overdue of a post. So far, it's been really cool. First off, our entire [co-ed--I don't think I could live with all guys] floor gets along awesomely. Basically, if anyone's here, their door is open and anyone is welcome to come in. We all stopped knocking by the second day. Campell 4 = the most awesome place on campus. Regardless of what anyone in other dorms may say. =)

Classes, so far, haven't been anything straining. I only have 3 classes, so scheduling isn't too hectic. Plus I'm getting a radio show! Anybody that wants to can sign up for a slot on the college station. So that'll be fun.

Homesickness hasn't been nearly as bad as I figured it would be. Yeah, I really miss the people I left in Wisconsin, and all the familiarities, but it's so great here. No wonder I kept hearing about how great college is, it's like a summer camp. You're out of high school so you're running on this much better 3 or 4 class schedule [although the homework becomes worse] and you are living on your own, but you don't really have to worry about making your own meals or cleaning your own bathroom. And no need for a job! I almost -want- to take more than four years to graduate.

So it really didn't take long for this to become my home away from home--but I'm -really- looking forward to the end of the month. I'm going to Chicago to hang out with Merril and Nick [and go to that huge aquarium =D] who, lucky them, are going to a System of a Down concert Friday night. Sadly I can't make it up there in time for that =/ But I'm going to spend Saturday with that and then Sunday we're coming back home and I'm going to surprise the hell out of my parents and hopefully get to see Melissa. Plus, I'm planning on taking my car whether they want me to or not. I miss my little white car. Then that night, or maybe early the next morning depending on how things work out, I'm driving back down. Then I'll have my car here, and if I feel like coming home I only need to go as far as Dubuque, I don't know if that's how to spell it, where Nick's going to college and we'll carpool up. =D This'll work perfectly. I hope.

I leave you with this burning question asked by my neighbor, Brittany--why would you put sand in the microwave?

This World Is Running And I'm Walking With A Cane

I've done this a few times before. I'm really bored, so I'm doing it again.


Step 1: Put entire music folder on 'random'.
Step 2: See if anyone can guess what any of the songs are just from the first line (without cheating w/ Google, bitches!).
Step 3: Bold the songs once someone guesses correctly.
Step 4: Hope people actually play.
Step 5: There is no five.

1. I don't wanna be your clown anymore, no I don't wanna live this triangle...
2. You spurn my natural emotions, and make me feel like dirt and I'm hurt, but if I start a commotion, I run the risk of losing you and it's worse, so much worse....
3. Well she's not bleeding on the ballroom floor just for the attention 'cause that's just ridiculous...
4. Pardon me while I burst....
5. Throw the brick, yeah one more time...
6. I'm on fire, and now I think I'm ready to bust a move, check it out I'm rockin' steady...
7. We tried so hard to understand, but we can't...
8. The rain it started tappin' on the window near my bed, there was a loophole in my dreaming, so I got out of it...
9. Let me know that I've done wrong, when I've known this all along...
10. Seventeen and strung out on confusion, trapped inside a world of disillusion...
11. She said it's cold outside, and she hands me my raincoat...she's always worried 'bout things like that...
12. I don't mind you coming here, wasting all my time, 'cause when you're standing oh so near, I kind of lose my mind...
13. Please come now, I think I'm falling, holding on the road I think is safe...
14. So are we lost, or do we know what direction we should go...
15. Silence is screaming in my head, stuck on repeat...
16. And I swear it's the last time, and I swear it's my last try, and we'll walk in circles around this whole block, walk on the cracks of the same old sidewalks...
17. I am wrecked, I am overblown, I'm also fed up with the common cold...
18. Be my light in this darkened room, I'm on my face and I'm calling you...
19. Comin' out of my cage, and I've been doin' just fine....
20. Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
21. Believe the news, I'm gone for good, call off the search, no one will know that I'm down here...
22. Hello six pack of confidence, been so many nights since we first met...
23. The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful stop me from stealing my breath...
24. Okay so, who doesn't own a cell phone?
25. I found a light and then it grew, I found myself still thinking of you...

Caitlin better get number 23. Good luck everyone else. I tried to only pick songs that other people might actually know, but I think this could be a tough list.

You Won't See Me Break

Quick update. I'm officially moved in down here at Knox College [although everything's totally messy and unorganized]. Orientation's been pretty crazy so far, tho' we finally get a nice chunk of free time, today. I'm liking it here so far, I've met about 200 people but I don't remember more than 10. There was this thing on the first day called Playfair which is really, really weird to describe but it's ridiculously fun.

So for the most part I've been having a good time, despite this nagging depression in the back of my mind about having to leave home and ending up single again. It really shouldn't bother me this much considering that I -knew- it couldn't possibly last. Next year her family's moving to god-knows-where and she's going to college in Green Bay which is even -farther- away. Still.

I want a standing ovation.
