Becotopia (6:42:45 PM): (okie)
Sallykadoola (6:42:47 PM): (uh oh, now I've ruined it)

Sallykadoola (6:43:06 PM): (sounds good)
Sallykadoola (6:43:12 PM): (this is hilarious)

Sallykadoola (6:47:45 PM): (hehe)
Becotopia (6:48:24 PM): feet dancing, dancing across solid sheets of air
Sallykadoola (6:48:51 PM): solid sheets of air that whistle whispering through the leaves of trees

I am writing my own version of The Social Contract. Plus, I checked with my teacher, and he said that would satisfy my final essay requirement--so I can get credit for it too! Yay.

Ughhhhhhhhhhh.

Got a worm on my computer not by my own action but because I didn't have automatic updates turned on. Can't for the life of me get it to stay off though I have no problem getting it off.

I wouldn't mind it, except that it eats up the CPU usage between 80 and 100%, making it so I cannot either draw or type.

Stupid that it's raining when the sky is blue.

Frickum frackum $%^&(* stupid marin county registrar of voters only mailed my absentee ballot yesterday--how the heck am I supposed to get it in Washington and back to Marin by the 2nd?!

Proofreading Cody's essays would be a lot easier if she would proof them first herself for grammar, punctuation, and verb tense. I think in the future I shall insist upon it.

I got out of lab so early today that I assumed it was 1:30 rather than the 12:30 it actually was, so I went to the class before mine in the same room and felt pretty stupid.

Am eating a banana for the first time in probably a year. Wow. Maybe 6 months.

Happy Sweet Sixteen Robin!

Chuck Israels, the leader of the 2 o'clock band, said he'd give me a shot in there if I wanted. But I have a class at 2 that I really really want to take. So we'll see.

Sallykadoola (11:32:09 PM): maybe I'm CURSED
Becotopia (11:32:21 PM): LOL
Becotopia (11:32:23 PM): I'm sure
Sallykadoola (11:32:37 PM): I'm cursed
Becotopia (11:32:39 PM): I don't think it's either of our faults
Sallykadoola (11:33:20 PM): lol
Sallykadoola (11:33:25 PM): I'm just cursed

Sallykadoola (5:24:36 PM): wear did you get those really cute pants of yours?
Sallykadoola (5:24:41 PM): that you have in every color?
Becotopia (5:24:46 PM): gap
Becotopia (5:24:52 PM): hehe, "wear"
Sallykadoola (5:25:07 PM): OH GOD
Sallykadoola (5:25:10 PM): that's so embarrassing
Sallykadoola (5:25:13 PM): LOL
Sallykadoola (5:25:22 PM): I'm going to go and stick my head in the ground
Becotopia (5:25:23 PM): LOL
Sallykadoola (5:25:30 PM): WHY am I getting STUPIDER in college?
Becotopia (5:25:36 PM): you're not
Becotopia (5:25:40 PM): just typing faster
Sallykadoola (5:26:05 PM): gah
Sallykadoola (5:26:07 PM): oh well

Woke up at 10:20! Went running! (I was pathetically tired during it though...)

Went to a nanotechnology lecture today--so awesome! Unfortunately they ran out of free sample packets, so I didn't get the heat-sensitive memory wire that would return to its shape when you heated it.

I swear if I hear "No Woman No Cry" again in the next hour I'll strangle Cody with my headphone cord.

I loathe titrations.

What're the odds...got my summons to serve on a Marin jury today.

This printer is possessed.

Thought perhaps reading the full text of propositions would allow me to get an unbiased perspective on how to vote. Wound up boring myself. Hate clauses like "this measure shall become operative only if [Arnold's evil bond measure] ... is approved by voters..." Still don't know how to vote.

Cody's little sister gave me a valentine.

I cut my toenails too short and now they hurt.

Alas, ils sont parties. C'etait amusant malgre que "l'incident". J'espere qu'ils peux revenir en temps.

Brian is here too and has been for 36 hours! happy valentine's day!

SALLY'S HERE! WILL NOT POST AGAIN UNTIL MONDAY LATE!

Today I sat in Red Square at the Darwin day table from 1-3:30, but it got kind of cold after 2:30 because the sun went behind the building behind us. All our pins were gladly received, even the ones that said "atheist". Met our faculty advisor, who was a little too pleased with his "evolution of a speed skater" shirt, but very cheerful and friendly. Only one woman admonished us for celebrating Darwin, saying how sexist he was and stuff, but then after we argued about the evidence for Darwin's evolution theory, she admitted that she believed in evolution but wanted to make sure we knew what we were talking about.

Oh my, pin making lasted a looooooong time. It took an hour to get all set up for making the pins, another hour figuring out how to use the machines, and a third hour to actually make the pins. Fortunately obnoxio boy Peter who is completely obstinate and stubborn left after discovering we were working rather than discussing. But only after telling us how the Matrix was like religion because it blinded us. I told him about Descartes describing the world itself rather than religion as the Matrix, and all he did was scoff and say, "Oh, yeah, I've heard of him." But yeah, tomorrow will be awesome. Class, manning the Darwin Day table, Sally in the evening!

Cody: "Where are you going tomorrow?"
Me: "Making pins for Darwin Day."
Cody: "Darwin...he was that...evolution...guy? Yeah. Well, I don't believe in that, so I'm not making pins for it."

Overheard in the dining hall:
"I was looking at it and looking at it, and I finally figured out that F was for Father, B was for Brother, M was for Mother, and C was for Sister!"

Oh dear lord literally: I went to this religion panel and was just escaping when Cody's bible study leader attacked me and asked me how I heard about it so I finally told her I heard about it at atheist club and then she talked to me for about half an hour about why I believed that and what I thought of religion and how I could believe what I do and ranted at me about christ dying for my sins and stuff and now she's going to bring a book by and wants me to read it!!!!

I saw a guy walking around in a Nanowrimo shirt yesterday, but I didn't talk to him because he was on his cell phone.

Oh yeah, I went skiing on Sunday. It was pretty nice, the company was amiable and she liked classic rock. May go up again. But also, backpacking club just emailed and said they take weekend trips so perhaps I'll latch on with them one weekend.

BryanBoyGenius: track starts tomorrow
Becotopia: ooh!
BryanBoyGenius: or as i call it "spring training"
Becotopia: excited?
BryanBoyGenius: ya its fun
BryanBoyGenius: even tho it was only invented to keep soccer players in shape- history is wrong- soccer came before the olympic games
Becotopia: sure...

Hehe, Cody thought that Siberia helped start WWI instead of Serbia. How's she gonna do on this history test?

"So...I guess Prohibition was against alcohol..."--Cody

Walked towards the sunlight aimlessly this afternoon, found myself at the waterfront, down at some park with a view of the San Juans.

Discovered the joy of flash last night.

Skiing again tomorrow!

Becotopia: hee
acanthous: oh no, don't be danielle
acanthous: hehe

I knew the planetarium was closing, but didn't know the whole Academy of Sciences was too! 2008--that's a looooong time!
