Lies and falsehoods, Padfoot!

Listen to these quotes from my Bio Readings and Writings textbook:

"Cite authors only by their last names, unless you include two authors sharing a last name, e.g. Bilbo Baggins and Frodo Baggins."

"Why do citation formats differ so much among journals? I don't know, and I wish they wouldn't. But they do."



I love that class. Seriously.




Also, Nora made this astute observation yesterday: There are more squirrels on SMC's campus than minorities. 

It's funny cause it's true.

Know what I just read about in my religion book Renee? Guess.

THE SPANISH INQUISITION! (Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!)

Also was amused by this: "Humanists placed humanity at the center of their world." Well duh. Hence the name.

"The emaphasis on the dignity of man, however, did not translate into equal roles for women." Well of course not. Why would it? God didn't also create woman or anything. But it did mention that Mary I, Elizabeth I, and Mary, Queen of Scots totally kicked ass.


Ok. I'm done being a dork for the night. Just had to share that with Renee.

Love to all!

God Renee, where are you when I need you?

I'm was reading Ragtime the book, (you knew it was a book right?) and listen to this quote:

"He drove through small towns in Georgia where in the scant shade of the trees in the squares citizens spoke of hanging the Jew Leo Frank for what he had done to a fourteen year old Christian girl, Mary Phagan."

Holy Fuck.

That's ironic isn't it? The two plays that we saw first in Nebraska, the two plays that made me cry, the two historical plays about injustice, both just thrown together like that. That's awesome.

Yeah.

I still don't have the soundtrack to Parade you know.

It has been a few days since my last confession...er...entry. We shall begin with highlights from rehersal:

The Exercise Ball of Doom!

Out damn sheep!

Aaron had to do something impressive for Karla and he stood in front of her and pretended to undo his fly. You had to see the look on his face to truly appreciate the hilarity.

And now onto the cookie experiment. I made Pat cookies for his birthday tomorrow. I. Do. Not. Cook. I can barely boil water. But I made them, damn it. I managed to get flour on EVERYTHING and drop a half melted chocolate chip down my shirt, but Pat will have cookies. The first tray came out huge and brown, the second medium sized and undercooked, and the third tray was pretty perfect. So I have cookies of various and assorted shapes, sizes, and colors.

I hope he likes them. He really should appreciate how much I must like him to risk life and limb in baking. Sheesh.

Anyways, I have a textbook quote to add to the posts of funny textbook quotes.
"Dr. J Mayer's work was the first to really contain the notion of Conservation of Energy,(1842) but it generated little interest beyond ridicule. Mayer was overwhelmed by a deep depression, fed by derision and made more intense by the death of two of his children. Lost in despair, he leapt from a second story window (1849) in a painfully unsuccessful attempt at suicide. Within two years he was a straightjacketed inmate in an insane asylum."

Physics: Third Edition, Eugene Hecht (I especially like the inclusion of the year in which he failed to die)

Also, a random Hannah quote: I have the sudden urge to go back to bed. Only it's not sudden...and it's more of an aching need.

And finally, the movie quote! The last movie was indeed Carrie, which was around long before Adam Sandler. Janeea and Becky got it correct, and they each get a telekenesis point. Here is a new quote, which I like even though it goes agaoinst my general attitude toward the beverage "No! No tea! No tea!"

Here is some randomness.

I love the absolute freedom of my flip flops.
I hate those people who can't wait for you to turn and pull around you as you are turning, and I secretly wish a car will come from the other direction and hit them.

I love the attention my flip flops bring me.
When I feel the need to pull around a turning car it is always justified.

I love Blink-182.
I hate Marylin Manson.

Willy G. rocks my socks. He has the coolest views and opinions, is nice but playful, carried Danielle's purse around, wore Amanda's jacket, and is comfortable with his sexuality. He also is a cradle robber. Ha ha ha.
If he didn't have a girlfriend I would be on him like white on rice. I don't like his girlfriend, even though I have never spoken to her and know next to nothing about her. But she has Will and so none of us other girls can and so I don't like her. I really wanted to come back from China and hear that they had broken up, but no such luck. But seriously, I don't bear her any real ill will. Will, if you ever read this, don't get freaked out. You are just a hot, fun, guy who I like to talk to and who got a 2 on your AP Bio exam, even though you got a 100 in the class, due to a lack of attention paying. You make me laugh.

Everyone else, don't think that I am fickle, but I actually kinda like Aaron. See I like him in a serious way, and Will is just like, well, like a really nice car that you look at and like, but it belongs to someone else and you respect that. Aaron is, well, cool to talk to and funny, and thinks my family is nuts but likes us anyways. And we have the same sorts of opinions. I discovered that I liked him when he was dating Emalee and came to my house. I am currently in subtle flirting mode. I hope he gets it.

I am also taking a big risk by posting the above.

This post is just the random ramblings of my mind, not to be taken really seriously, but not to be thrown aside either. I do think all these things, but they are not a really big huge enormous deal so I don't want to get any comments from freaked out people. Thanx.

Wolverine: Stop! It's me!
Cyclops: Prove it.
Wolverine: You're a prick.
Cyclops: Right.

Storm: You know what happens to a toad when it get struck by lightening?
Toad: What?
Storm: The same thing that happens to everything else. *ZAP!*

Wolverine(about Mystique): She's good.
Magneto: You have no idea.

I don't know quite why but that last line is quite dirty.

Two houses both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

From forth the fatal loins of these two foes,
A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life,
Whose misadventured piteous overthoes,
Doth with their death bury their parents' strife.

That's all I memorized. I can't remember the last stanza, or the couplet at the end. But see, I like Shakespeare. I can usually understand it. I just can't get into Othello. Whatever.

Come on
let me hold you,
touch you,
feel you,
Always

Kiss you,
taste you,
all night,
Always

Mom: Time wounds all heels.

Jukka the Sling: O thou who art fleet of scut.
Fleetscut: Can't even pronounce a bally chap's name right. How'd she like it if I called her Sling the Jukka? I say, that's a good idea, why don't we sling her?

Fleetscut: Ooh the famine cramps, me paws've gone dead, i can't see, it's the Scoffless Lurgy, I've been struck down with the Witherin' Ear Fever!

More quotes from this book, and others, soon to come.
