Random eavesdropping

This week, while walking to class, I've heard a lot of little conversations that seem completely random because I have no context for them. Here were the best two from this week...

(Between two girls walking to class)
"I don't think she really understands what we're talking about..."
"Yeah, I know, and she snores really loud, too!"

(Between two guys outside the library)
"Hey, dude did you study abroad last year?"
"Yeah, man I went to Peru! I ate guinea pig, man, you know that!"

Three updates in one day, pretty good, I think :P

If you're bored and you know it, clap your hands...

I stole this survey (including the title) from some random blog. So, thanks to whoever she is! :)

1. Where were you 1 hour ago?
Here, checking my email and facebook.

2. Who will be your next kiss?
Who knows? But that's the mystery in life, right?

3. Is there anything pink within 10 feet of you?
I don't think so, this room isn't very bright, but it is mostly white and shades of gray.

4. When is the last time you went to the mall?
Yesterday.

5. Are you wearing socks right now?
Yes.

6. When was the last time you went out of town?
Today to go into Bangor to get bagels and "study" with Nissa.

No, but I have plenty of ganas, I'll probably go on Thanksgiving break.

8. What was the last thing you had to drink?
Water.

15. What's the last sporting event you watched?
A few minutes of baseball here and there, I guess.

ARM

17. Name 3 thoughts at this exact moment.
1. I wonder if it's true that if you're initials spell a word it means you'll have good luck.

20. What time did you wake up today?
I woke up at 6 and had a surprising amount of energy until about 11, then I recharged with a cup of coffee.

21. Do you miss anyone?
Of course I do. I dreamt that they were in Maine the other night. It was weird, but in a cool way.

22. Last play you saw?
Something last summer about a murder mystery that involved an opera singer. I didn't like it very much.

23. What are your plans for today?
Well, for me, today is pretty much over. I plan to write a little more and then read some of Blindness…I'm a little concerned for the characters, one of them has a gun now, and I'm nervous about how that might resolve. At least I don't dread going back to my room because I actually cleaned it today AND made the bed. Go me! Haha.

24. Who is the last person you commented on myspace?

No one, I don't have it.


25. Ever go to camp?
Yes, I went to an overnight camp (which I hated) and a day camp that focused on art, dance and music (loved it).

The end.

Urgent, open at once!


Querido Joana:


No sé cómo decirte esto: eres una pervertida. Creo haberme dado cuenta de esto cuando tu hermano me mordió en el probador de señoras y te vi grabando tus iniciales en mi mejor amigo. Estoy segura de que eres lo suficientemente Mongólica como para entender lo disgustada que me he sentido. Voy a devolverte el cojín que me regalaste, pero seguiré guardando tu foto como recuerdo. También deberías saber que estarás mejor sin tu futura encarnación en un pingüino (sea en un armario o no).

Con pena,

Abby
