*blink blink*....what the heck happened here?? O_o;; Pitas.com was down for a day, and now that it's back, it ate a few of my entries. Blargh. Anywho, I'll just recap what's been going on in a list of random ramblings.

Ramble #1:
I ate some Krypton today. Ok, not really, but some science organization was selling a cupcake periodic table and I was really hungry. So I bought a Krypton cupcake. I really wanted a Plutonium cupcake, just because I thought it'd be fun to go and tell people I ate some Plutonium and didn't blow myself to a million pieces. But someone beat me to it. :P

Ramble #2:
I'm never having kids. I went to eat at a local Thai restaurant with my roommate and her brother this weekend, and there was a baby that cried THE WHOLE TIME we were there. After about 15 minutes straight of hearing all this wailing, the mother of the baby decides to take the baby for a trip around the restaurant to calm it down. Seems like a good idea, but it didn't help, and all it did was give the diners a little more of the cacophony. Spreadin' the joy, I say. A few minutes later, I hear the sound of a ceramic bowl crashing into pieces behind me. The little girl sitting behind me seemed to have accidentally knocked over her bowl of curry or whatever. 5...4...3...2...let the crying commence. So now I've got a wailing baby circling through the restaurant, and I've got a little girl sobbing behind me. Lemme tell ya, if you ever want to drive yourself insane, just put on some surround sound crying. Anywho, Lindsey and I are exchanging annoyed looks across the table, and then I look behind Lindsey and see a little girl banging on a fish tank. I guess she wanted to see the fish swim really fast, because the fish would dart away from the banging, and then she'd bang the tank again over at whatever part of the tank the fish had escaped to. So to add it all up, I've got a baby screaming around the restaurant, a girl sobbing behind me, and another girl repeatedly banging on a fish tank across from me. I think that's enough pandemonium to make any girl want to turn into a nun.

Ramble #3:
My roommate Tiffany keeps this big comfy chair in our room. So yesterday I was going to plop down into her chair, but there was a pile of clothes on it. As I was lowering myself into the chair, I asked Tiffany if she'd mind if I sat down for a while.

Me: Hey Tiff, do you mind if I-*FWOOMP*...ohhhhhhh man....

It was WARM LAUNDRY STRAIGHT OUT OF THE DRYER!!! *big grin* I ended up wasting a good 15 minutes or so curled up in Tiff's pile of warm towels, jeans, and shirts.

Ramble #4:
I've got my PCAT on Saturday!!! *panic panic panic* If you see me around campus looking like a puddle of goo, please feel free to say hi. I'll probably end up mumbing some garbled words about how I'm going to die Saturday morning, but just smile and nod to make me feel better, k? Oh, and cookies are always welcome.

Blargh....time to crack the books. Ciao, everyone. :P

What does it take to get some f*ckin' internet service around here?!?!!? Ugh....so evidently, my internet's out AGAIN. Roadrunner Highspeed Internet has one very unhappy customer right now. I'm ready to go out on a hunt and put all roadrunners to extinction. And I must lead a very sad life if I'm blogging from the school library during my lunch hour. Blargh. They've got this waiting list system for the school computers here. You enter your name into a main computer, and then you wait around until your name shows up on a screen when there's a computer free for you to use. After sitting around for about 20 minutes to wait for my name to show up, I think I've got an idea of what it's like to play the lottery. And boy...playing the lottery must suck. O_o;; Anywho, I've got Genetics in 15 minutes. And if you see me with a gun and a dead roadrunner, pretend you didn't see anything.

Music: Norah Jones - The Nearness of You

Here's a scenario for you guys. You move into your new apartment/house, and after many back-breaking hours of moving furniture, you finally hook up your phone. While you plop yourself down in exhaustion, you look around admiring your new home, taking in all the new details and the cleanliness that comes with the first few days of moving in. Suddenly, *dun dun dunnnn*....your phone rings! You jump, and run to find the phone, excited at the thought that someone would be the first caller to your brand-spankin' new pad. You answer, and the first thing you hear is "Hello, would you be interested in buying......"

*click*

Yeeeap....move right in, and the first call you get is from a telemarketer. Sucks, don't it? Well, fear no more!!! For those who don't know already, the US government now has a National Do Not Call Registry!!! It's free to register up to 3 phone numbers (don't be fooled by those ads that make you pay $ 2.95 to put yourself on the list), and you'll be guarded from most telemarketers for 5 years!! Start putting in those digits, people!! :)

Does anyone know what the hell a pluot is? Yeah, I didn't know either until yesterday. I was doing some grocery shopping, and next to the nectarines were these things called "pluots". The first thought that came to my head was "What the hell is a pluot???" The second thought was "Hey! I think I'll buy a few pluots!" Anywho, when I got home, I pulled out a pluot and took a bite. And you know what? Those things are pretty good. It turns out that pluots are a hybrid between plums and apricots. And they're sometimes called "apriums"...nyahaha. Anywho, they've got the texture of plums, but they're a lot sweeter and not nearly as sour. Good stuff, good stuff. Makes me wonder if the "peacherry" or the "strawnana"'s gonna be next. :P

Oh, and bringing up the "peacherry" reminds me that I think I might be inherently suicidal. O_o;; One of my favorite fruits in the world are peaches....and lucky for me, peaches have cyanide in the pits. Blargh. And my favorite nut? Almonds. Almonds have freakin' cyanide in them too!!! Eeesh...as if having an addiction to raw fish and raw oysters wasn't bad enough, I'm addicted to foods with cyanide in them too!! I really don't know why I started thinking about how my favorite foods could easily kill me, but I think trying to study for my upcoming organic chemistry exam had a lot to do with it. :P

Gahhhh. You know how in movies you'll always see some poor guy innocently standing at the side of the street on a rainy day? You know how a big bus ALWAYS comes by and splashes a waterfall of muddy water on him? And then he looks all sad with sad violin music playing with the background? Yeah, that happened to me today, minus the sad violin music. And what's more is that it happened TWICE! The first time wasn't too bad, just got some water on my pant leg. The second one was like a freakin' tidal wave compared to the first. I wasn't soaked or anything, but my roomie had a good laugh when I came home with muddy water on my arms and stuff....blargh.
