Yeah, so i'm switching majors. How 'bout that :oD. I still need to take care of all teh paperwork, though. I'll deal with that. And today at ten tonight, *ahem-JUSTIN* I was supposed to sign up to live on campus again. But I was too busy acting out the scene described by the drag queen in Trick. If you know what I'm talking about, It's *NOT* funny, if you don't, you DON'T want to know. But I'm telling you right now, that you don't want to know. (Although Justin DOES want the disclaimer that no video cameras were involved...at least that's what he tells me, and we're still dating....at least that's what I tell him)

As soon as I get around to it, meaning next week, I'm gonna go talk to the PolySci advisor again, and get him to sign my change of major form. This summer, I'll take business classes, and then next year, apply to get into the school of business. YAY!

So, now I'm forced to living off campus, because by the time my vision had returned, all 1,800 slots were full (IN AN HOUR!). But, it turns out that Mike didn't get in either. (Although I doubt his reason is anywhere near as good as mine for being late). We're gonna live together, maybe even have a few parties, especially since we are looking in the area near where our rank captian lives (near the elementary school, if that helps). Its a 5-10 minute walk from campus, and like 5 on bike. It'll be interesting getting to the practice field in time, but we'll make do. (Assuming that we get an apartment there...oh well)

And I skipped for the first time this semester today. I wasnt planning on it, but its my Computer Science class, and I'm switching majors, so what's the point of keeping the major class? I got there, and my friend said that I should just skip, and not worry about it. It made sense, so I just walked out of the class, about a minute before Barnette started talking. I then realized, that might not have been a good mood, because he's also my advisor (until the change is official)

I think I had more things to say, but damn if I can't remember. Oh well.

OH!!! I turned in the UUSA application, then about an hour later, realized that I hadnt signed the bottom, so its probably too late. I'm still trying to decide if I should fill out another application, or just try somewhere else. (Yes, I can be a dumbass, I readily admit that.)

Guess what bullshit happened to me yesterday? I was about to go to bed, and I was proud, because it was like two hours before my norm (like 1:00 for once) and I decided that I should restart my machine. and when I restart, AIM loads, but ALL MY SETTINGS ARE GONE! Before, everyone had a sound associated with the group that they're in. and now the alerts are still there, but they don't link to any sounds. So I had to redo 155 sounds. And colors. And profile. And all that bullshit. The most annoying thing is that all the things that I used to have set the way I wanted, now always ask if i want to do that prior. So I'm in the proccess of fixing all those.

NOW I think I've said all the things in my mind for now. TO BED!

WAIT!!! One last addition. I just was looking over pictures from the Gator Bowl, and just wanted to bitch about cameramen. When we were playing the Hokie Pokie (and no, to all the Pittsburgh people, asking if were gonna dance the Hokie Pokie is NOT an insult, because we are) There was a camera between Jill and myself, on Jill. Right before we got to the dance part, he thought it'd be neat to get the Trombone slides moving. (They're on the other side of me). Just then we start the dance. If you've never seen the MV's dance the Hokie Pokie, its interesting...We actually hold a record in the Guiness Book of World Records, for having the most people doing the Hokie Pokie at the same time. Somehow, when we're kicking, I ALWAYS mess up, and the camera guy decided that **I** was the prime candidate to be filmed dancing. He was already like 5 feet from me at most, and he at LEAST halved the distance. It was all I could do NOT to kick him (accidental, or otherwise) And using all my concentration, I kept my patented (yes, patented, meaning next time I see you using it, I'm gonna call my lawyer) shit-eating grin on, and performed the steps perfectly (well for me...I stayed upright :oD) So, Dave McKee, if you read this (which you wont, but that's not the point) You were right about the cameramen being assholes and not giving you the space to perform. They care more about their precious ratings than my personal bubble (which while it may allow room for three or four people, it doesnt allow room for several MILLION)

OK, and for the third time, I'm done. No more talk, just sleep.

January 22, 2002

Well, its been a few days, and I'm now procrastinating from working on my English paper now. I've decided to write it on the relationship between Margaret/Meg, one of my best friends/ex-girlfriends, since we hafta write on a relationship that's gone through many changes. And DAMN, if it hasn't..."I don't think we should see each other anymore, because I'm gay" (OVER IM!!!)

Today, I musta taken happy pills in my sleep, because I'm in a fucking good mood, and it almost scares me. I went to Intro to Theatre, and we were discussing tragic heros in our own history, and being MLK day, she talked about Martin Luther King. During this discussion I had a profound thought: while JFK and Lincoln would probably not been as successful as they were had they not been assasinated (Johnson impeached rather than Lincoln, and LBJ used 'JFK's wishes' to push the equal rights bill through Congress) MLK might have been as successful if he hadn't been assassinated...feel free to tell me that I'm wrong, though.

And I got to meet Kris Kringle today!!! It was SOOOO cool! I just wanted to jump up on his lamp and tell him that i wanted a pony for Christmas. Ok, but the real explation: I went to the PolySci advisor to discuss switching majors, which I'm now nearly positive i'm doing. Should be making an appointment with Cooke tomorrow sometime. But, he was this man in a pin-stripped shirt and red tie. Short grey/white hair, and a decently bushy grey/white beard. He was on the heavier side, and had very soft features, even his voice sounded about right. It was amazing. We talked business for a bit, and it looks like he'll be my new advisor starting in a few days/weeks. So we'll see what that's all about. Interestingly enough, his first name is actually Chris.

Meghan, do you remember one of the first thing you did when I showed up at dinner that night I met y'all? (yes, y'all) You showed me pics of Justin at your guys's friends' wedding. And you told me how you know you're getting old when your friends are getting married. WELL....Jen should be getting engaged eventually, but still not sure when...her and Brian have been discussing it for like a year, and its only a matter of time for Candice and Logan. And I was told yesterday that Amanda, a friend from when I went to Europe last summer, is getting engaged in May. And then today, Diane tells me that Mike wants them to get married when they get out of school in three and a half years now. I wanna get married :*( What do you think? Justin Fitzpatrick, or Ryan Wienckowski? Can I wear the dress? And the garter belt? PLEASE!!!! Or can we theme it, and have a Harley wedding...OH! I know, how 'bout a Chipendale wedding, I'd like that :oD (Justin in case you cant figure out, I'm completely serious ;o) ) Now that I think about it, I'm gonna be the only unmarried one of my friends before too long....damn. Oh well, at least I get to wear a lot of tuxes!

Ok, I think that that's enough procrastination for now, now how about you (yes, you *points*) stop procrastinating as well, and start working on your work ;o)
