Things

[mandie_rw]

Thing the First: Watched the debate last night. I know the purpose of my journal on here is not so much the political, and probably not what you all read it for, but I've seen this linked to on a couple of my friends' journals, thought it was very apt, and so shall link to it as well. Also...Palin, "nuclear" is a word. "Nuculear" is not. (Even spell-check on LJ says so!)

Thing the Second: I hemmed the medieval smocky thing. And one gore. Not today...I don't actually remember if it was yesterday or the day before. Whatever.

Thing the Third: One of my floormates has people over, and they are drinking, playing loud horrible music, and are currently engaged in yelling at each other over a game of Trivial Pursuit. Sigh. First, at least shut the damn door, so that if the CAs come around on rove, all of us don't get in trouble for underage drinking! Second, midterms are this coming week, and I'm trying to do schoolwork. Yeah, on a Friday night; lame, I know, but we did go out to the football game, and now I want to get a little more work done! Third, that music is really terrible- it's some sort of loud scream-y stuff. Do not want. Am listening to Beatles with headphones on in an attempt to counteract this.

Thing the Fourth: As I mentioned, I went to our college football game tonight (which we lost, boo), and it was cold. Like, 50-55 degrees cold. Which I like, but nobody else seems to. Hmm, should have brought my wool coat up to school with me when I went home last weekend! (Also, our team played Kean, and my friend Kat and I could not figure out what they were cheering for, i.e. their mascot. We decided it was either Bluejays or Bluebirds. Imagine my surprise when I got back from the game and looked up Kean's mascot, only to find out that they are in fact the Cougars. Huh.)

My mom used to work nights on 411. She'd get callers that would mispronounce words all the time; "nuculea plan" and "j'ello cab" were a few that I remember. I didn't watch the debate, I went to bed, but I figured she'd make a complete boob of herself.

Reminds me, I still have to finish my shift.

Ah, I didn't live at college, but my sister did, and she had problems like yours. I had problems like this with my current roomates, who are several years younger than me. Last summer, they had a party when we weren't home, and I later found out their guests set a pinata on fire on our balcony and were also peeing off it. I was livid. The last party they had was New Year's, but we were home this time. The took the door off their bathroom to play beer pong. About 15 people came, and half of them I didn't know. Too many piled on the futon couch and it broke. After having to clean up from that party and having to buy a new futon squelched them out of throwing parties again.

Ugh. Parties. Peeing off the balcony; now that's classy! Things like that are the reason I really dislike most parties! (That, and I'm a pretty big introvert who hates being in large groups of unfamiliar people...) The most irritating part of it is that if you're friends with your roomate/floormate, it's so much harder to go up to them and say, Can you at least shut the door?! Which my other floormate and friend did about ten minutes after I posted.

She didn't, but hey, we tried! And they left not too long afterward, so it wasn't as bad as it could have been...
