Omg I ate so consistently that I woke up full today. I slept over in Timmie's room last night because both our roomies were with their parents over this weekend. This weekend's parents weekend, and especially meaningful for my roomie whose family's from Michigan. We played Michigan yesterday, or rather we BEAT Michigan yesterday heeeelll yeeeeaaaaa :) 38-21 and to think I thought we would lose because Michigan's ranked and we're not! Hoho. Maybe I reverse-cursed us :) Well anyway yesterday was our last home game and it was a great game and an awesome way to end the season. Work was crazy busy my feet still ache from walking up and down the club seats all afternoon, but we made good tips and I took home yummy food for the last time :(
Just got off skype with mommy and daddy dearest. Grandma had an asthma attack and while she's healthy now she's in a coma. For now it seems like she may never wake up, so they're thinking of putting her in a home. The other alternative is to have dad take care of her, but it's gonna be hard because she needs attention every 3 hours. I'm not sure how I feel. I may be in shock, or I may not care, or I dunno how I feel. I'm not sad, I'm definitely not happy... But when something as unprecedented as this happens, how do you know how you should feel? Mom and Dad seem to be a mix of emotions too, and I think we're all trying to grapple with the situation. I really just want to go to Chicago and look for a temple in Chinatown or something. Sigh.
On the plus side - Mom and Dad like my DIY new haircut. I think it's cute and mushroom-y but it really doesn't do that much to hide the roundness of my cheeks. The bangs kinda frame my face that has gotten slightly rounder since I got here. :\
So much for squares and rectangles.
So anyway back to my week(end).
Friday night was spent hanging out at Ness's dorm with her dorm-mates(who are HILARIOUS FUN), discovering what Beef Chop Suey is (bee hor fun - hor fun + rice), reading fortune cookies and watching V for Vendetta (FINALLY!). After such a homey night I figured maybe I should go out and live it up on Saturday night, especially since last weekend all I did was stay in and study for Human Sexuality. But Saturday night came and went and all I did was lounge around in the den downstairs and watch movies with my dorm (the ones who weren't out partying, or getting fucking stoned in David's room, anyway). I had a nice big cup of hot instant cappucino, my fruit+nuts mix, my warm fluffy slippers, and Transformers. Life was good. Timmie and I really wanted to go out, we did! But we didn't wanna dress up and go out to State... We wanted to wear our track pants and tees to somebody's house, drink and talk shit. But it seemed nobody had a house to go to, so we stay in our own. It wasn't as bad as I thought, really. We tried watching a horror show after that but the bad acting put me to sleep. Sam was snoring throughout the show behind us in one of the sofas and it was kinda distracting too... Heh. I lugged my plush purple floor cushion over to Timmie's room and we talked for like an hour in the dark about how fucked up everyone else in the dorm was (it's actually damn funny how fucking weird almost everyone in my dorm is) then went to bed at about 4... One of the girls came home with a boy and met us in the hallway while I was moving into Timmie's room, and man it was awkward. They were both drunk as hell and she like came over randomly, and made the most awkward comment about her presently occuring sexual encounter. It was bizarre and WTF-inducing.
Girl: *knock knock* Randommm commennnntttt *drunk giggle*
Me: *opening the door and wondering wtf she's doing in the hallway in a towel* mmm?
Girl: It's sooo hard to make guys come!! *drunk giggle*
Me: mmm...okayy... maybe you should try massaging?
Girl: Does it work??
Me: I suppose if you're desperate it doesn't matter... *closes door*
Timmie: Ok wtf was that?

It's warm today in my room :)
Woke up at 8 because I fell asleep by 11, reading Across the Wire for my PoliSci class. Still reading it.
I really don't know how Ness manages to be so perky/excited about every day. It's a skill, really it is. Especially for someone who's so easily bored, like me. Or maybe it's just that very specific things/ people get my psyched. I'm getting super sian of school already... People think that being in Madison makes school more exciting. But there's nothing to do here! I not 21, so that means I can't hang out at bars/ clubs as and when I feel like it. I'm on a budget so I can't shop freely/ eat out all the time. All my money's going to trips/ groceries/ rent... With whatever money I do have left, I have to be so careful spending it that I almost always never enjoy spending it.
The people are nice, for sure. But I haven't met anyone who's totally on the same wavelength as me... Someone who listens to my music, watches my favourite shows, doesn't judge me (critically) for my strange eating habits and can hang out with me for hours without a moment of awkwardness passing. I've met many who're almost on the same wavelength, but like trying to fit a square into a rectangle mould, something just isn't quite right.
Bitching aside, I'm really grateful that I'm here and not at home. Even though at home it's comfortable, warm and there're people I love just a lunch date away. Waiting for the snow to fall so I can bust out my winter jacket and boots. I'm pretty sure I'll hate it after 3 days or less but I really just wanna wear my new clothes... Heh.

Okay so Halloween weekend came and went, I'll upload pictures on facebook once Sharveen is done uploading the pictures to his com. Here're some I stole off facebook from my friends:
So really the highlights were:
- Partying Thurs,Fri night BEFORE Sat night (Because Sat night itself was a little lame)
- Seeing all the coooool costumes other people had (and wearing a costume too, of course)
Sesame Street
Smurfs
Carebears
Traffic light pole :\
Cross-dressing bunny (boys?)
Cross-dressing boys in generally <3
- Watching Lifehouse play at the State Street Halloween party!
- Having a super cute beer pong partner at Fri's party
And the kinda sucky/lame thing was:
- My super cute beer pong partner is from out of state
- State Street Party was somewhat lack lustre. It used to be this massive crazy party out in the streets much like the Mardi Gras in New Orleans but now it's regulated, cop-infested and ticketed. :( I'm sad I missed the earlier years!
- It was cold out and I didn't have my jacket on me. -3C apparently. FUCK! I was a shivering bundle under Ness's shawl by the end of the night/beginning of the morning.
- NOT GOING AS CATWOMAN. DAMMIT. It would have been warm and Smokin Hot. DAMMIT.
So the rest of the week passed by like any other week in school, and this weekend was a stay-home one as I prepare for my Human Sexuality midterm on Monday. :) It's a nice break as well, since I've been out at least one day of the weekend, every weekend. I'm a peaceful homebody at the end of the day... *Happy Sigh*
Okay now for the giantbug.blogspot.com excerpt:
Winter Bitching.
Ok seriously it is ridiculous how cold my room is. Like hello it's 7C outside, and you're not turning the heaters on yet?!?! WHYY!!! I tried telling the housefellow on my floor but apparently the housefellow who has the thermostat (I assume that's the thingy that turns the heater on) is OUT OF TOWN OVER THE WEEKEND. Seriously? Omg. And it doesn't help that not everyone is freezing. Only people on my side of the hallway are freezing. Everyone across the hall has warm stuffy rooms!
Yesterday when I heard the microwave in Timmie's room go off I wanted to throw myself in there. Ahh it's driving me NUTSS...
And now we have daylight saving. So apparently I have to turn the clock back by an hour, because winter makes days end earlier. I'm very confused. I have an exam tomorrow and if my teacher hadn't sent an email out telling me about it I'm pretty sure I would have missed it. Knn wtf does this country have winter?! So fucking problematic. jfaosrihbnkfj;xn'IRGFJU;FDNGDF;
And my roommate googled my symptoms of cold hand and cold feet and apparently there's a disease that affects your circulation... and I may have that!!! Ahhh whyyy whyyy is it the person who has bad circulation and blue toes that has the coldass room WHYYYY...
Wo de ming hao ku :(
I'm just waiting for my roomie to wake up now so I can go grab waffles from dining hall. It's sooo cold in my dorm I'm probably going there to study today. Pfft.
