No music.. in computer lab |
] |
I think I've been doing really well in school already, my japanese grade is something like a 3.95 or close to that. And my anthropology isnt too shabby either. I missed a lot of school already due to illness, but I stayed on top of things and am already caught up. Amazingly enough since I seem to do so little homework. That must be because Im used to 5 classes a day, not 2.
College life *is* fantastic. I love staying out to 2am everynight and just having a blast. So far I've learned to knit, crochet, and play the guitar. Ok, well only like 4 songs on the guitar, but I can play jinglebells like none other! Im telling you! ;)
The only thing I don't seem to be doing is writing. I've found I only really write poems when I am in the depths of despair, or in love. And Im in neither so the words just don't come. Frusterating. I really need to just carry around a notebook for poetry and write random snippets again.
I love sorority life and all of my sisters. It's amazing to be a part of something so special.
My videocard died so Im never online anymore, unless Im at the computer lab. Boo that. But Ive taken to playing N64 midday after class as a break from studying. It's amusing enough.
That is all.

Scott's guitar Playing |
] |
Went home for the weekend and had a great time seeing my favourite non-musical play "our town" by thorton wilder. It was so reat of my mom's boyfriend to let me invite Jessica too. Today I got a ride home with Scott and that was great fun. He has great taste in music. Also, he can play the guitar (well kinda) he is trying to play it for me right now while I lie on his bed typing on Andrew's laptop. Myeh, now we are going to go watch "my so called life."

The New Member meeting rocked. I learned alot about the founders of AOTT. Did you know that only 4 women started it? They were trying to join sororities at a NY college in the late 1800's and one of the girls got rejected because she was Jewish. So three other girls said "that's bullshit" and joined her in making a sorority that didn't discriminate based on race, religion, or any other personal factor. They are one of the only sororities to not have to ever change their charter or pledge because of changes in womens rights, racial rights, etc. Not a single word has been changed in over a 100 years! Thats really awesome to know we were so ahead of our time.
After the meeting, some boys in the apartment next to Destiny's invited us over. They were drinking and were very entertaining. They said it was a dance party, but we mostly just talked. Alot of the girls went back to Des's room to watch one tree hill. I stayed and talked to all of the boys. Two of them gave me their number. (One was sober too! lol!) After awhile a few of us girls headed to the Sig Ep house, where I met a bunch of cute boys. One in particular took my breath away. He's korean and can play the guitar while singing like no one's business. He gave about 20 people in the house a private concert. I wanted to jump him, he was that good. Especially when he started singing love songs. Oh holy wow.
Wednesday night was pledge-in. Brittany did my make up and flat-ironed my hair. I looked so pure in all white. I recieved my pledge badge. It's simple and beautiful. The ritual was beautiful too, but sacred so I won't discuss it here. All I can say is, I've never known a more wonderful group of girls in all my life.
After pledge-in I went to Brewster to hang out with Brittany and the guys. We watched Requiem for a Dream because it's Scott's and my favourite movie. I always get scared by the refridgerator part though and I had to dive inbetween Scott and Paul to sheild my eyes in Scott's sleeve. Tamara didn't seem to like the movie much. I hope she watches it again someday without falling asleep, because it is a beautiful movie and I think she'd enjoy it.
Tonight I hung out with the boys in Brewster alone for the first time. Well first I went to hang with Brittany, but then Andrew and I went running all over Brewster doing little errands. (He always seems to be doing so many!) Then Brittany, Andrew, Scott, and I went to Mo-street to eat. Well, first we went to the pub but they refused us service, giving us a lame excuse about it being time to close or something. Losers. After Mo-street we went to Kristin's room for a bit, and finally headed back to Brewster. Andrew had to do homework, so I offered to help. He said he just wanted company. We went into his room and I sat in a corner inbetween his chair and the bed and the wall. With a few pillows it was quite comfy. He got very little homework done because we just ended up talking, me aboiut my childhood, and him on his philosophies. He's kinda a downer sometimes and I wish he wasn't so hard on himself. He *is* a cutie with a great personality, but he seems to think all girls don't see him that way. Nutso. I also helped Scott correct a paper which he had butchered writing and we had great fun trying to make sense of it. We watched My So-called Life on DVD (the first two episodes) and then Andrew drove me home. Great night, Scott kept me laughing tons.
Jeebus this is long, see you on Monday or Sunday night. I'm going home for the weekend. ^_^

Wow. This is sweet. I am having an encredibly good day. I am loving life. I love college, I love all my new friends, I love my AOTT sisters.... All is full of love. (ok ok I'll stop)
Hanging out at Brewster totally rocks my socks. Playing Halo with Scott last night was dangerous, he is so funny I almost peed my pants from laughing!!! I seriously had to run to the bathroom. (Oh my!) I actually wasn't too bad considering I'd only played it on the computer before, not on xbox. It's pretty hard to get used to and the controller kinda hurt my wrist after a while so I had to ice it. I'm typing without my cast right now, but I just kinda set my arm down on the table and don't move that hand around. I type most of the keys with the other hand. It works pretty well. My right hand is getting really fast, lol. It's like super hand! (Dun dun dun!)
Tonight is my first New Member meeting with AOTT, I'm pumped. I'm excited to learn more about sorority life and afterwards we are just gonna hang out and get to know the other sisters (who are showing up later) a little better. I got invited to a party at the Phi Delt's last night by one of my sisters, but I turned it down. Aren't you all proud of me? I turned down a party! I *really* wanted to go, but I had class today and my wrist was kidna hurting... I was even dressed cute to go, but I was a good Natalie and went home instead. Scott and Paul walked Tamara and I home. Paul and Tam are so cute. I'm encredibly jealous of their cuteness. But I deal. It's time for me to find a man! I'm settled in, my arm is almost healed, I'm adjusted to college life... I need to get me some MAN LOVE! Preferably a man who wears a) Hugo b) (new scent) Old Spice or c) Axe. I like good smelling boys. ^_^ *Sniffs the lab air for a good smelling man* No one in here atm. Bummer.
I fell like there is more to write about, but I forget. Oh well. Later Days.

So! About my arm... I broke it by falling out of a chair. (Uhm, yea) Thought I might finally explain that. The best thing about that is it happened when I was sober. Oh yea. I rule. *bows* And my arm shrunk too much so I can already slip off my cast. The highlight of this last month was the first time I slipped it off on wednesday night and I went dancing down the hall (in a tribal-dance-like-way) and went into the bathroom to wash my arm. Im trying to type without it.. but it hurts so Im gonna slip it back on *swoink* ok better.
Except for the missing my mom a bit the first few days I hadnt been homesick at all until today. I even cried. It was a gooood stress releiving cry too... but then my room mate came home and I had to pretend I was sleeping and then go take a shower. (It was a good shower too, the first once without my cast, took about an hour, even put a handtowel on the ground to sit and just let the water run.) I talked to my mom on the phone a bit too and that made me feel better at least. And it's good that Felicia is'nt here right now so I can listen to my quasi rock real loud. Sucks to be my neighbor. Myeh, they should learn to listen to more than rap neways. ( :P phhbtbtbtbttt)
I joined a sorority. ^^ AOTT (Alpha Omicron Pi) Rush is an amazing expeirience I tell ya. Wednesday through Saturday of last week I was busy from 4pm-11pm and Sunday 10am-6pm. Sunday was bid day where you found out which sorority wants you. You go into the room in the Pub (Pence Union Building) where we met everyday before going to the different houses. When you got inside they give you an envelope with a bid card from the sorority that chose you inside. Then you sit on it for 30 min while they read rules and charters. They also reveal the Alpha Chi's houses. The AC's were disafiliated members of houses. They left their houses for two weeks to help the girls go through rush without being bias. Its hell sitting there waiting. AND THEN! They tell you to open it and there is cheering and happy tears and you run into the corner with the alpha chi's who are in your house. They give you a shirt with your house name on it. Then all of the pledges and AC's go outside the pub where your new sisters are waiting for you. They all have bags of goodies for you. Attached to the bags are balloons and they are running and screaming and jumping and crying because they know they chose you, but they dont know you chose them until that moment. It was so amazing to be wanted that much. You cant imagine the feelings of joy knowing that there is a houseful of sisters who love you already and want you to be their friend. They want to hang out with you and be there for you... *tears up* Im so glad AOTT wanted me as much as I wanted them. They are all so down to earth and friendly. The girls in my pledge class are too. None of them are fake and bitchy or slutty like the Gamma Betas or Alpha Phis. There's even a girl in there whose name is Natalie Rose. Thats cool because I go by Allie. Wednesday is the pledge-in ceremony. Im sposed to wear all white for that. (Is that a shopping trip I hear calling my name?)
I haven't been hanging out with Kristen enough lately, but Tamara and I hang all the time for lunch and down at Brewster (a cooler dorm than ours). We've been watching this kickass Korean soap opera, where this girl and this guy who like eachother... well the guy loses his memory and becomes a different guy but she recognizes him as her first love and then he gets hit by a car again and regains his memory so they fall in love again but then it looks like they migh tbe brother and sister so they cant be married... but then! It looks like he might be her ex-fiances half brother instead. Believe it or not, the way its written its all really plausible that this all could happen. They cry alot. It's entertaining to say the least.
Neways this is long enough for an update post. Promise to do it more often now.

So. *Apparently* this is college.
Hmm. My roomate is pretty nice, we talk from time to time and are respective of eachothers privacy... She likes Usher... a lot. A lot a lot. I've heard two of his cd's 7 times now. (Help) She wakes up at 6 am and does her hair for 2 hours. She has two curling irons, a hair ionizer, and a hair dryer. It smells like burnt hair in here in the morning. (Really, I mean it, help me!)
I met two awesome people, Tamara (Tam Tam Taro) and Kristen (Kurichan). We've gone to Spokane, eaten numerous meals, watched anime, and gone a million times to the computer lab together. I can tell (I hope) that we will all be best friends. And its all bc of LJ!!! *Hugs her LJ*
I kinda already miss my mom.

Just when I am so ready to leave for college... Suzanne is coming home! Now I won't want to leave I'm sure. She gets here on the 6th.. I CANT WAIT 0_0
Although I am mostly packed and chomping at the bit to leave already.
Last night was chill. Kevin picked me up randomly in Walker's dad's truck and we drove around for a while. Then we met Walker and Yukio at the upper ferry parking lot. We actually just stood around forever talking, laughing and making stupid jokes. And then we cherried a tomatoe. (Inside joke, hopefully no one will get it. ^_^)
I went dorm shopping with my mom and got sooo much stuff. Well, a lot of school supplies too actually. Thanks to the check my dad sent. It was nice to just go "oh, I need tape" and be able to just grab it without worrying about how much everything was costing. (Although we did shop around for the best prices on everything.) We went to big lots, walgreens, target, office depot, costco, sprint, and a smoke shop. Apparently mom had tried these chocolatte flavoured ciggarettes and wanted to buy some. So I asked her if she'd tried Cloves because they were good too. So we ended up getting both. The guy selling them called us "luv" in a great british accent. I've always wanted to get away with saying that! It only works on some people though. T_T
Gotta get on with my day. My mom will be hooting and hollering anytime now for me to start in on chores and such. Later days.

Got home late last night only to be yelled at.. tried to sleep in but my Mom wouldn't let me.
I met my Dad's new girlfriend. She's actually really nice. I was very weary of her and planned to just use her since she would probably try to butter me up (which she did.. but it seemed so genuine when she did.) But she turned out to be an encredibly cool person. I spose I should have expected that for my dad to really like her... Her name is Marcella and she's from Mexico. We went out to lunch at Cuchina Cuchina and then shopping at Southcenter. I would feel guilty for all that I got.. but I havent gotten new clothes in a year. And new shoes? Over a year. So I got 2 new pairs of Vans sneakers, 2 skirts from abercrombie, and 2 shirts from Zoomiez. I also got kickass star earrings. OH! And I got the Emperors New Groove DVD. (he he he) I'm gonna miss my dad he is moving to California next tuesday and I know I will never see him as often, but this is the job of his dreams, the best insurance company in the world.. wants him as their right hand man. Over 90% of hollywood is insured by them. I forget their name though.
When I got home I showed my Mom all my clothes and noticed she was crying. Apparently they called her back to do another pap smear. I'm in denial. She says in all her years they've never called back to do another so there MUST be something wrong. I beg to differ. Actually, I beg to god. I dunno wanna talk about this now. I'll wait until after the second test.
On a lighter note, but just as sad... I think I forgot how to kiss. I dunno how you do that, but I have. The last two guys I kissed, I was terrible. I want to blame it on them, but I really think it's me. I just get real nervous and WAIT, I take that back. When I kissed someone when I was drunk I was fine at it (other than being sloppy.) So the problem is I'm too tense. Well, this livejournal was helpful.. I learned something about myself there! Almost like therapy only better because no one is forcing so much raspberry tea down your throat that you wanna spill your guts just so you can get outta there and go pee.

Well! I got my dorm assignment! Pearce 418. That's a coed floor. Not quite what I expected, but still exciting. My roommate is someone named Felicia Davis from Bellingham. I tried calling her but I didn't get through.. I'm nervous about what she's into. What if she doesn't like gaming, or computers, or anime? What if she just likes to shop? And hang posters of .. Nelly or something. This is nerve racking!

Found an interesting poem about Hamsters turning on you:
The podium squeaked
grew a furry head
and spoke
heard by a pointy-eared horde
governed by sporadic coughs
"Too long! have they ignored
bought us from sanctuary
and bored (or stupid)
called us names
Puppy!
Rodent! (though we may be)
Hamster!
Never again!
Never again up stocking legs
felched by poodles
and problematic felines
Never again!
Today
we deliver ourselves:
in suede-lined packages
air holes limited by
structural integrity alone
packing miniature uzis
Johnny is no longer
his despotic tirade
no more!
That glistening perking horde
erupted roared into an encumbering growl
filed spilled into postage paid packages
and lay dormant
Pat finished his route
unaware as fur-nibbled lettuce
Silently,
with uzis.
Beautiful poem, no?

New POEM new POEM NEW poem NEW poem -by me that is, oh and: this poem
Strawberry festival was great fun. Even if I did eat nachos and THEN go on the berry-go-round which is bascially a BIG straberry that you get inside and pump a whel to make it spin. [Hint: Never go in one of those with more than two people.. it goes really fast with 6 people pumping it.] I also made a new friend named Matt. He's hillarious, hot and gay. That last part is incredibly frusterating, esp when he teases you by climbing on your lap. Grr. Haha.
Did I mention I am ready for college to start??

2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
"If you put one teensy litle line in there wrong, you could change the entire meaning of the character, from something like "man holding broom" to "sex with ostriches."
