Octoberfest

Halloween in Madison. The Midwest's answer to Mardi Gras, Vegas, and Carnivale. As usual, the MPD was out, several thousand strong with riot gear and pepper spray. This year, I managed to avoid the mayhem. I haven't seen the news yet, to find out how many people were arrested and whether there was a riot. But my guess would be that it was slightly calmer this year because the school didn't allow any guests in the dorms for the weekend, and they sent out letters to all the other UW schools uninviting the students. (Aren't we the hosts with the most?) I did take a trip down memory lane and play a rousing game of A**hole. Ahh, college years. It's good to be President. Anyway, Halloween was fun, as it has been every year. Pictures will be posted shortly.

Found Treasures

Have you ever found an old roll of film from goodness-knows-when and decided to develop it? Well I had that moment this past weekend, so I finished said roll of film at the Cane Toss at Homecoming. The pictures ranged from last Halloween, to last Malpractice Bash and other random moments in my life. I think I'll be posting some during my class today, as I'll need something to keep me awake :).

My Flamingo Friend

My flamingo friend has a veritable cornucopia of quizzes on her blog. So I decided to take one of them. Here are my results.

Fit fit fits.
You will perish of fits. Repeat this to yourself:
"Things can work out even if I don't get
my way. Things can work out even...."

What horrible Edward Gorey Death will you die?
brought to you by some guy who's name wasn't finished.

A day in the life of...

Well, here's what's happening in my life:

1. I am fasting. I haven't eaten any solid foods since Sunday, and the fast isn't over until Friday at noon. Anyone who would like to join me at Olive Garden on Friday at 12:01 should contact me immediately. My Auntie says that I will be able to tell people how good God is at the end of the fast. And while I believe that wholeheartedly, I can honestly say right now, all I can tell people is how good some barbeque wold be right now.

2. I was fasting last week as well. Except last week, it was no meat and no media. Giving up meat wasn't so bad. Giving up secular music was also not so bad. Giving up t.v. was horrible! I'd even go so far as to say it was slightly worse than this week's fast. I am quite dependent on t.v. I don't know if that is very sad or just fact. But, there it is.

3. I will be attending a fraternity Black and Gold masquerade ball on Friday. I may have invited my ex (yes that one), and he may have accepted. But my invitation was conditional on my friend taking a date....I did NOT want to be the 3rd wheel. But if she doesn't take a date, and I can manage to uninvite the ex, then I might get to play with the adorable president of the fraternity. He's so young though, (and kinda skinny a la my last law school fling), so all play dates are required to be in public places a.k.a. at parties.

4. Yet another couple at the law school is engaged. That makes, what, a million? How is it all these people are getting engaged/married, and I can't even get a friggin' date?

5. The sexy engineer from Atlanta is going to be soooooooo very close to me tonight and tomorrow. He is flying into Chicago to interview in Rockford. Far far closer than Atlanta. But, sadly, he's only going to be in the vincinity for less than 24 hours. Not nearly enough time to get together. Which is just as well, since inevitably we'd want to go out to eat, and I can't eat. (See happening #1).

6. I am still wondering why the best relationship I have with the male persuasion is one with a man who is several hundred miles away. There have been all kinds of theories on this ranging from my tendancy to be like a dude, to my tendancy not to enjoy people. Either way, it is highly inconvenient that I don't have any distractions within driving range.

The end. Isn't my life exciting? Ok, so it's not. But at least you're updated!

Coming Home

You know, the nice thing about driving to Iowa these days? There isn't class at the end of the ride. In fact, it usually means I've escaped class and been wholly unproductive for a few days. I love homecoming. What a great excuse to party with people you haven't spoken to in forever, and get the newest gossip (my Phi-O mom is married?!!? WHAT!?), who's pregnant?! (ok no one, that was an exaggeration). Plus you get to see all the people that gained weight (HAHA BITCHES!) and all the people that look too fabulous for words (Darn them!). All in all, it was a great 24 hours.

OH! And I am also extremely happy to report that I met not only our founders, but also the newest m-te's. The Os are keeping it real and have increased the m-te members. Atta girls! Phi O D.Q. 4eva!

And then....

So, I thought yesterday was a good day....
And then, I accidentally slept in too late.
And then, I was 2 minutes late to Italian class.
And then, I forgot to take my meds at the normal time.
And then, the meds started messing with my head more than normal.
And then, I couldn't see a darn thing out of my contacts, because the prescription is wrong.
And then, (drumroll please)
.....
.....
.....

And then, a riding lawnmower ran into, and injured (and by injured, I mean cracked the body of) my scooter.

Sad.

My Undergrad Experience

A quote that just about sums it up....taken from a comedian on Bravo's "Great Things About Being"...

'would I date him? Date is such a big word; I'd probably french kiss him for the anecdote'.

Well said.

Getting worse, not better

The FFL continues, as will my dominance. Ok, I don't know that for sure, but I do know that I am getting more obsessed, not less. Tomorrow, magazine points are going to be posted. But instead of waiting, like a good little girl (I slept with one eye open on Dec 24 when I was little too), I start checking the magazines that I am in possession of to see which designers have big mentions. It looks like my points horse, Armani (Amo italiani!) stands to give me a gain of 100 points tomorrow. Ahh, what a great first round draft pick. Eat your heart out league members. I am Queen of the Fashionistas!

ha!

I am wont to admit it, but oddly enough, I am suddenly understanding the obsession with fantasy football.
