Im so burned out. Study study study all week. And now I'm almost done with finals. I took down my written spanish final and i aced my bio final. When i say aced, i mean i did really well, but here's the thing. If i get a 93 or 94 percent on that test, I have an A in the class. I worked really hard to get this A. And I promised that I would do REALLY well in biology since i did so poorly in chem last year. My rationale is that chem isn't my thing, bio is, so if im going to kill my gpa with chemistry, then my bio has to cancel out my chem grades. I REALLY WANT THIS. Also i hope i have an A in spanish. bleh.
but now i have one more final tomorrow: spanish grammar and vocab test. also i have to rewrite my spanish essay and write a 100 word summary of this spanish movie i watched. it's so little work, maybe an hour, but i cant get around to it. I'm just soooooo tired. SLDKGJSD. whatever. i'll finish it and go have fun. awe;gljer
also ek gets here tomorrow. awesome.

Astronaut Sauce
PROSPECTIVELY:
I like it... But it kinda sounds vulgar. Referring to the title, by the way. Apparently something is coming for me on craigslist. But whatever could it be? I was looking today on craigslist and found this sweet record player that came in a box with it's own built in speakers on the underside of the lid of the box. And it was orange. Cool beans.
MEANWHILE:
3 finals to study for on Thursday. Spanish, Bio, and Bio Lab. Lame. Also, Spanish is a two part test so I have to take the second half of Spanish on Friday. Super lame.
IN THE FUTURE AGAIN:
I'd like to call a press conference sometime in the following week. Be prepared for great news, stunning visuals, and sound effects.

Harry Potter's Awkward Teen Years
I was watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix yesterday and I noticed that they played alot of rock music in it. Rock music? In Harry Potter? Do you remember the first couple Harry Potter's? It was all the theme song music or some other orchestra. Now they listen to rock music? It looks very 60's Britain, actually. Very fun. I think what they did was lay down the basics of the wizarding world, the crazy bank, the robes, the cauldrons, the house elves, and then after we got all that down, they start showing us the smaller aspects in a young wizards world, like rock music. SO my point is that there must be lots of other things that they can't cover in a series of books. Some really small thing that may happen all the time, but nobody would ever know because JAY KAY ROWLING never wrote it down.
Well here's my idea. You know how Harry and the others just sometimes do magic without wanting to? You know, it just happens. Like the snake at the zoo in the first book, or Harry defeating Voldemort as a child. Magic that happens all of a sudden because the magic is just IN them. The specific instance that I'm thinking about is when Harry is with Cho in the room of requirement and they're talking about Cedric Diggory and she tells Harry that he's a wonderful teacher and then she kisses him i think. BUT RIGHT ABOVE THEIR HEADS there is mistletoe that is growing. Nobody is actually making this mistletoe grow (except i guess the room of requirement, but i doubt it), it's just happening. OR IS IT?
Magic boners. There. I said it. Wouldn't that suck? What if every time you got a boner, shit would start growing or standing up straight. As I'm writing this I'm hanging out in my living room and with Joe M. and Neel and I'm looking at my empty cereal bowl. What if I was magic and happened to pop one and the spoon resting on the bowl's edge just started standing up straight on it's own accord. It would be funny cos it's just guys around, but if it's in a room full of girls, that's bad news. I would have to figure out what was going to pop up and neutralize it immediately. Put my foot on the spoon, so it won't rise up. But then the bushes outside would probably grow or something and the cat would be out of the bag.
Magic boners, huh. Lame. Lamesauce, Mr. Potter.

Big Screen Rock Band
Yesterday we decided to get drunk and then destroy a huge lock box in Geoff's backyard. So we played a 'the office' drinking game to start off, which is ridiculous by the way. You have to drink for pretty much everything that happens, so it's a shitfest. But yea, so we're swaggering in the backyard, hammers in hand, and we realize that the box isn't even locked. We found a snowboard and two rafts! After a hearty night of partying (beerpong at my house, a WTF party, and some french guy who slept on our couch), i woke up this morning to a pleasant surprise: i wasn't hungover! The gatorade i had demolished the night before had saved me. It was kinda weird how I could feel the alcohol and the gatorade at the same time. It was as if the alcohol was trying to kill me, but the gatorade was actively intervening. What im trying to say is that i was fine, but i could literally feel the alcohol trying to fuck me up. Whatever. SO YEA we took the rafts out and had a mini floatopia. it was awesome. and we capsized, which was really funny. Right now we're going to have a bbq in the front yard. awesome. but i gotta read some bio first.
i know it sounds like i drink alot, and i guess i am currently, but really drinking isnt that much fun. i'll slow down when i get a chance. i dont like waking up sick..

Followup
So yea. That was a drunk post last night. You could technically call this a drunk post too, cos it's still wearing off, but im sober enough. God, when you get really sick, you can actually feel how the alcohol is poisoning your body. It's rough. I woke up this morning at 6 cos i needed to puke. I threw up all the free, homemade korean bbq i got last night from chris's mom and some of it went through my nose. ouch. then i tried to go to sleep for like an hour, but i was feeling really disoriented and it didnt happen for a while. I woke up at noon feeling much better. You see, I always buy lots of gatorade for these occasions. If you just drink a bottle before you go to bed, keep one in your bed, and perhaps drink another if you feel sick in the morning, you'll be better before 10am. good stuff. smoking pot has less consequences, but i feel it has less potential for glory. god, glory is a weird word.
whatever. im going to go skimboarding
whatever. im going to go skimboarding
SOOOOMEbodyhatesme
So. I'm drunk. In isla vista. It's amazing. So many people. Amazing. You'd be surprised how much the hair works. For instance. Well i guess first, i've noticed that girls like my long hair, for some stupid reason. That was awesome. Also, my hair gets me into parties. People dont think im a freshman right away. I lied my way into the Miller house by saying i lived next door. "Oh yea, I've met you before. Go on in!"
I rock. I'm sorry. I don't do intentionally. It's just sometimes it happens. I assure you, it only happens some times. Like tonight. I'm generally a dork. Oh well. I'm getting better at lying i guess...
HA
HA
HA!

This Old House
I wasn't really sure what to expect with this new house. When we decided to move out of das haus, we were hoping to trade up. Things didn't go as planned, so it was another housing battle. Luckily, I found one of the last houses still available in IV, so we wouldnt be homeless for an entire year.
As far as a trade up goes, I'm not entirely sure about that, but this new house is definitely as good as das haus. It's just cool in different ways. For instance, now we have ample parking day or night. I dont have a car yet, but I might get one this year. Also, pasado is way different than sabado (those are street names). Pasado has more trees and the houses have more character. Most of them are very unique. Sabado houses were cool, especially cos you're on sabado, but the structures are a little plain. Our house right now is interestingly built. It has little nooks and shelves built into the walls and the closets are pretty neat. And then there's the fact that last year i had the smallest room in the house, and this year i have the largest. It comes with a bathroom and a walk in closet. awesome.
Here's the catch. The people associated with this house are weirdos. Starting with the landlord: To avoid getting fucked over by google search again, i will tell you that our landlords name is D*. P*arlm*n. This guy seemed like a pretty nice guy over the phone, he talked alot though. And the other thing was taht he wanted to get to know each one of us before deciding to lease us his house. "My house is my baby," he said. "And the less people in it, the better. 4 people tops living in mah house." For a 3 bedroom house at $3300 a month? Fuck that. We decided to lower our own rents by getting a 5th, under the table roommate who would receive his own room. If P*arlm*n ever found out about this, he'd probably be really, really angry. But he lives in South Carolina so, no problem, right?
Wrong. There is an onsite property manager named Mr. Bean. You can usually find him riding around isla vista on his bike, playing with junk and generally looking like a homeless man. From what I hear, he gets free rent for keeping an eye on the house. He's in charge of fixing it up and stuff. His front door is actually through an alleyway on the other side of our house and his home is probably one room (on the other side of my wall!). He's a nice guy, but he has his catches as well. The thing is, he's supposed to fix up our house, but he hasn't been on top of it at all. We've had lots of problems around the house and he's always just been off somewhere doing something else. I know he has a lot of other houses to get to, but he should have started with our house. Cos that should be his main priority. The funny thing is though, this house is soooooooo not somebody's baby. If it was, Mr. Bean wouldn't be in charge of it. But he's finally getting on things, so that's nice. Him and our 5th roommate, who is very motivated, are going to install a new fence (cos our old one is shit) and it's going to make our yard very cool..
Other than that, it's a fun house. It was and is definitely a fixer upper. But it's got character i guess. I also have distinct party memories from the unit in back from. (Freshman year I went to a pink party and broke a bowl chair with two of my friends. Also i peed on the house. Also the whole afshin drama thing occurred here. Wow. ALSO skunks. Lots of them. They like these streets cos there are more bushes to hide in. Fuck. Thats why we want our new fence. So skunks wont cross our yard when we're there.
Also my room is purple and has a sunflower on it. I'm going to get ek to paint it something cool. ALSO i have a queen size bed with a tv and gamecube right next to it. Fuckkkkinnnn sweeeeeet. ALSO our couch surfers are finally gone, so i have space in my room again to put a bean bag chair.
I guess I should update more, but I'm so lazy. Maybe next time I'll tell you about work?

Happy Belated America Day
Sorry I'm late.
I was too busy having fun at the beach this weekend. My friend is really good at skimboarding, so he's teaching me. It's way fun. Also surfing, but that requires a lot more energy. Skimboarding is just right here. No need to paddle out. Wanna hear a funny story about my house?
