I turned the page this morning, hoping to find something exciting or awkward i could do today. Instead i saw "Throw away something you like." I mean it seems simple enough. Grab something you like, pick it up, and just toss it. But it wasnt that easy, i started thinking about so many things i liked, but few of them was i really willing to throw away (all had reasons ranging from how much emotional value they had, how long did i slave in front of a computer at OnRebate making 6.15 to earn it, or would it just be to much of a hassle to throw away)
I went asking people all day. Most people gave little cheeky remarks like "omg lol, that poptart looks good, throw it away" No. Fuck off. Im hungry. Well, i didnt say that, but i didnt want it to be something stupid that i just like a little bit. Doing that would be missing the whole spirit of the task: Part with something you truely appreciate. So i started thinking, what do i like? I thought about throwing away my dignity, but thats not physical so thats out of the picture. I was seriously going to throw away one of my debate trophies (i mean i like them and i can never get another one, thats the spirit of it) but people really didnt like that idea and told me not to. I came across these two puppets, one was Figment (the disney character, that dragon that has a whole ride in Epcot that no one has been on) and the other was Alf (that goofy looking anteater-looking alien that an 80's sitcom was revolved around, funny story about Alf, when i was 3 or 4 i got lipstick and put it on Alf for fun and it never came off.) Those puppets had too much emotional value. My Laptop, Digital Camera, and iPod just straight up cost too much. I finally decided what i wanted to throw away. My I <3 FIU Folder
I bought it my second day at FIU because i found it so damn ironic. I didnt even apply to this school because i didnt want to give them my 30 dollars for an application fee. Now im here for a semester until Tulane reopens. Go figure right :/ Another thing was that i just found this folder hilarious. If its not clear in the picture, the folder is a light purple and the heart is a soft sparkly pink. Its perfect because i use it for my Sociology of Gender class, which is pretty much a feminism class incognito.
So i decided this is the thing im gonna throw away. I really like the folder but in the end i can live with not having it. Im not too emotionally attached, its not something petty, its not too expensive. When i told people about it, most people told me that i shouldnt throw it away, that "its a waste", "what a nice folder" etc. But i had made up my mind into the trash it went
This is just for those of you who want me to prove i threw it away
There i did it...happy now ::sob::
Well i thought my day was done, but then i read david's story and i realized that i had forgotten to make those lasts moments i had with my folder as memorable as possible. David had a dinner with his pumas, i mean the least i could do is have a midnight snack with my notebook. I went and tried to find something to eat. I decided M&Ms were a good farewell treat, but i just didnt know what to drink. Quick run down of the choices i had:
Mango Juice or the 4 Liter Laxative my mom is taking for her Gastritis. It was a tough decision, but i went with the Mango Juice
So there i am thinking life is good, M&Ms and Mango Juice, the perfect farewell midnight treat. One problem-That mofacca is in the trash already. So damn, i had to just eat on the floor next to the trashcan. I think my notebook still appreciated it, i mean, i couldve just done nothing and i at least made the effort. So i get ready to drink up, and everything was going well.
See the picture, smiles and everything.
5 mins later, i fell into a sinking depression that hasnt left me since. Too bad that juice wasnt spiked. I couldve used a drink.
I miss my folder. Folder, if youre out there in a better place now, i just want you to know that I <3 My FIU Folder
Finding The Hidden Love of My Life
So i put on my best flirty face:
And i went on the prowl for that possible True Love i might be passing by forever. The only problem is that i dont know that many people at FIU. 36,000+ people makes it somewhat impersonal, not to mention that most of the people i hang out with are friends from either 8th grade or highschool. So that aside lets take a run down through the types of girls i find in my classes and why theyre not my type.
1. Sociology of Gender- Theyre all either butches, excessively feminist (ok im a feminist but theres such a thing as too far), or fucking retarded. Ok well maybe im being a little harsh. There are girls in that class who seem smart and are very attractive (hey what you can you say, like 90% of them are latina) but then again all the ones that raise their hand to say something usually have something stupid to say. And it always starts like this "ok like omg, i have some pointless anectdote that proves that i didnt understand the point you were trying to make." There was this one girl though who i saw as i walked in and i sat next to her and made a little bit of small talk. She was sitting next to her friend and i overheard her say something about "blah blah blah My Boyfriend blah blah" So thats a no.
2. Honors Seminar- Ok this class seems promising the girls there are cool and definately smart, but none of them really seem like the girl i could see myself falling for. So that class left me still contemplating.
3. Art History- you know, i havent even payed attention to whos in that class and who isnt. With the lights off and the class as interesting as it is, i havent had anytime to talk to people.
4. Intro to Logic- This class does seem a little promising, there are 2 or 3 girls that right off the bat seem both smart, cool and are attractive. The other 20+ in the class are derf. Theyre the ones taking the class so that they can avoid the math credit. Theyre also the ones failing. I cant say i like girls who dont understand Aristotelian Logic and cant appreciate a good Obversion or Contraposition statement every so often. Im being sarcastic (I said that just in case any of the logic girls are reading it, some of them might have not picked up on that.)
5. Anthropology: Race and Ethnicity- Another class where i just havent payed attention to the girls. But there is this one girl who always asks smart questions, i think shes a junior or a senior though. Shes one that i have nothing bad to say about, which is nice.
Now that we went through all that girls that didnt really seem like my type, ill just say that i found one girl that i do know at FIU that seems like my type, but the problem comes in when the book says "Act in Consequence". and for reasons i would rather not say, i cant really act in consequence, well i could, but i dont think its the best of ideas.
So to the girl out there whos my true love that i havent discovered yet, i have one thing for you
Holla at cha boi
Today I Started Easy
I got this book as a gift from my friend David. He said it would be hilarious (literally he said "Dude, itll be hilarious") So i said what the hell, ill try it out with him. We were supposed to start Sept.1 but Hurricane Katrina did a damn good job of getting Tulane closed for the semester and unfortunately i left my book in my dorm room thinking i was going to be back in four days. After quite a while, i decided that this was too great of an opportunity to pass by and that i was just going to have to suck it up and pay the 19.26 (Dollars, none of this pound business)
Had i started the 1st i would be on day 35 by now, instead im on day three. This is the first day blog though, im just a lazy bitch and it took me a while to think of a blog name. So here we go:
Day 1- Just start easy
They gave this whole list of things, some of which sounded interesting (Perform a private striptease and insult an insect, others sounded lame, such as switch ears on the phone) You only really had to do one, but i was thinking that i might as well start it off with a kick so i did about 9 or 10 of them. Here they are:
1. Triple-tied my shoelaces, not many people noticed. The ones i told thought it was hilarious. (Ive left the knots on, its way too much of a hassle to try and get them off)
2. Tried a new sandwich filling, i got the Chicken and Bacon Ranch at subway (it was pretty good, not as good as the other shit i usually have though)
3. Held the phone up to my other ear (Lame.)
4. I told Kim my middle name (but i tried not to be obvious about it and say i had to do it for this book)
5. I gave an ant the finger and i told it that if was the fucking ugliest ant i had ever seen and that if i were an ant i would never have sex with her (The stupid fucking ant was asking for it, it gave me this look like it was all hard and shyt n dat it culd lak fuk me up if it felt lak it, that bitch be lucky i dont messup mothafuckas dat aint dun shyt yet, else i'd a kilt dat nigga dead)
6. I named my penis Excalibur (You know cause the word vagina means "sheath" or "scabbord" in latin. I cant wait until i say this to a girl "Ohh yea baby, are you ready to meet Excalibur" im willing to bet money that that line will get just about any girl saying "Oh yes Gabriel! Let me be your Lady of the Lake".)
7. While writing this email, i decided that my left pinky toe is the prettiest (although its relative, i dont think any of my toes are "pretty")
8. Im pretty hungry right now, so this is my one minute hunger strike
9. I think im gonna go bookmark Maddox or Wikipedia right after this post, so that counts right there
Thats all i did, it was pretty fun for a first day. Im hoping the other days will be as fun. Until next time, Hasta Luego
On that note, heres day 12 in all its glory:
As i was walking towards Bruff i noticed a pretty promising group of girls already dressed up. I counted 3 dumb blondes and only 1 clever brunette. I started to worry, have i been wrong my whole life. Maybe i do like blondes better. Shit, i mean, they have more fun. Is that what ive been wanting my whole life? So there i am sitting at dinner, having a full blown existential crisis, trying to figure out if my whole life up to now has been a farse. And then i notice something else,there was barely anyone at dinner that night. Everyone was also in sweatpants, that and unattractive. Just as i was about to lose all hope, an attractive brunette walked by. Not much later i saw 4 more clever brunettes. 1 more dumb blonde walked by, almost tying it, but brunettes were still in the lead. The only red head i saw that got marked down was by far one of the best looking girls ive seen on campus. I was tempted to put down 3 notches for her, thats how stunning she looks. I dont know what it was about that exact shade of red, but i was taken aback. I saw her again the next night in the elevator, made some small talk. I kinda realized that i thought she was so attractive more because of her hair than anything else. I found her on facebook, which to me is just sad. I secretly feel like a stalker everytime i jump onto someones page, whom i dont know. But, everyone does it. Facebook is a stalkers wet dream. Im not gonna post her picture cause that would just be weird. Maybe if i knew her better. Even then, kinda awkward.
