Awesome Times

I went out bowling at like 10 last night, and the place was so classy. It's down by where Fenway (lolol) and the House of Blues are, and it's an 18+ bowling/billiards/ping pong thing that's pretty cool. The bowling wasn't candlepin, though, so I was a little off sometimes. The place is also a bar, but it was pretty empty, being Monday night, so there weren't drunk people all over the place. I was in last place, but it was still pretty awesome. The people I was with were talking about karaoke at one point, so maybe I'll finally get to go to Limelight again sometime.

I blew off all my homework to go, though, so today just might be a little less fun. Good thing I don't have class!

Territorial

My roommate told me that she was planning to have a slumber party while I was away last night. That's fine, we invite friends to sleep on our floor once in a while, and it's a fun time. But then she texted me that they slept in MY bed last night. I don't remember offering them that. It doesn't bug me when people sit ON my bed, but....those are my sheets. I feel like I should probably wash them again now, because that's a little weird. At least it was only my roommate and our other close friend, but still. She has her own bed, and it's in the same room. This is only the second issue I've had, so I guess I've had it pretty good so far. The other issue is that she's always asleep when I'm not and I don't want to disturb her, except I always have plenty of things to get done.

Normally it's just my unhygienic pothead suitemate that bugs me, for stinking up the suite and leaving her shit all over the hallway instead of in her room.

Noooooo

The good news: That creepier post was another friend screwing with us after she'd left the common room. Since I'd only asked her about it via text, it was easy enough for her to act like she didn't do it.

The bad news: Leah came back from the gym earlier yesterday, creeped out because some guy had been looking at her and licking his lips suggestively. It's the same guy. At least he creeps on everyone? Ugh.

Continuation of the night

There's a website we have called LikeALittle where people post about other people they find attractive. My friends, messing with me, posted this: I met you at the quidditch thing tonight... came to your floor, saw your friend in the elevator. be mine? And then, this popped up, citing my building as the location:  I was in the elevator with you tonight. I flirted with your friend...but you're totally hot too. I love Texans <3


We don't have that many Texans, and the girl I was walking with is one of them. Leah knew that a guy we know is his best friend just by description, and said friend came to our floor randomly to "use the kitchen," despite the fact that every floor has a kitchen. He stopped, talked to us for a bit, and then turned around and left. It's a trap! Apparently guys do send spies, but I don't know if it was for me or for my friend.

Weird Times at the Quidditch Promo

As you guys probably saw from my stuff, everyone involved with Emerson's World Cup Quidditch team had a mandatory spamathon. To do that, we were all at tables, and near the end we had to mix it up and sit with different people to get an even number at every table. Some random guy joined us. Here's a rough dialogue, and some after-events that weirded me out.

Guy: Hey, I'm [insert name here].
(we talked about normal stuff for a bit.)
Me: my email's down again from all the people. Damn it.
Guy: Well, what grade are you?
Me:...I'm a freshman.
Guy: I'm a transfer sophomore, so I'm in the same boat.
Me: okay...
(someone wins a tshirt for getting the most youtube hits)
Cute guy sitting next to her (jokingly): She's my girlfriend, so that shirt's mine!
Guy: No, she's My girlfriend, I want the shirt! (To me) She's not really my girlfriend. I'm single.
(people start talking about their living arrangements; I mention my dorm's name casually among the chatter)
Guy: Whoa, you live in Colonial? Which floor?
Me: the fifth floor.
Guy: No way! I'm on Four!
(I internally curse the fact that I assumed he lived off campus because he's a transfer)
Guy: Is that a fun floor to live on?
Me: Yeah, a lot of us are really good friends.
Guy: Maybe I should check it out sometime!
Me: ...

And then he offered to walk my friend and I back since we were all going to the same dorm. Luckily for us, some other girl was also heading back that way, so my friend and I just talked amongst ourselves and were able to get on a different elevator. I stopped in the common room to talk to some people, when the guy showed up on my floor. He asked me why no one was there, and I said I didn't know. I made some mention of needing to do my homework, and he left. In reality, I'd just wanted to post on here. I really should be more careful about who knows which floor I'm on.

On an unrelated note: I finally found out the name of that creepy guy with a beard from the beginning of school, because I have a friend who's in a class with him. I still see him everywhere, so that's weird. And he's forever known as Beardman, although his name was just as awkward as I'd imagined.

Halloweekend

I have to say, being at college during Halloween reminds me of a con. Seriously. People were in costume everywhere. I was dressed as San from Princess Mononoke, and lots of people just went up to me and said that they loved the movie and I'd done a great job with the costume. A lot of my friends went trick-or-treating, but my costume wasn't really suited for super-cold weather. On Friday I'd been off-campus, in Amherst, and the party I went to at Hampshire was also filled with awesome costumes. I kept seeing this guy dressed as the Joker with a green mohawk everywhere, and there was some guy dressed as Gumby. Granted, one of my guy friends at Emerson was also Gumby, so I guess that was popular this year. I spent like half an hour on Saturday night running after two of my friends with a camera, because Gumby and a Banana in Pajamas chased each other down every hall in our building. I think they should do it again in another dorm at some random time. I'm already planning next Halloween in the back of my mind, because it's just so epic when it's a full weekend.

I revoke my last post

Because, when the professor finally turned up on the second day of class (today), he blamed his absence on angry badgers that attacked him. So he's pretty much awesome. I'm still kinda not looking forward to the actual using-power-tools thing, but at least it might be fun. Also we're not being assigned hours in the shop, like I'd thought. I just have to shop up on those days before my afternoon class for a few hours and do stuff. Not so bad after all, I can finally stop worrying...for a while at least.
