the disease has spread...

me: well, john wilkes booth was an actor.
manuel (one of lindy's co-workers): yeah, but not a talented one. it was his brother who was the good actor.

my question: who the hell (other than lindy and me) knows that kind of stuff?

if any of my loyal readers remember a blog from last year where i pulled an all-nighter and kept updating this page with unintelligable ramblings as i drooled my way toward dawn...

we are back there.

to break up the monotony of being at this desk for the past four hours i went over to the dorm with the candy machine, only to find that i had forgotten my wallet. i then traipsed back upstairs, got it, and returned to the machine. after swiping my card i discovered that i only had .65 on my discretionary - a mere 10 cents short of creamy caramel and cookie crisp. so i open my wallet to find that, for the only time in my life, i have no change and only 20 dollar bills. not even a dime to be had to make up the difference on my card. i march into the main lobby, where i find three freshmen boys lounging around. when i explain the drama, one of them takes me upstairs, grabs a dime, and generously hands it over. victorious after all this work, i skip back over to the vending machine.

only to find out that you can't use a combination of change and discretionary.

too embarrassed to ask those boys for any more money, i dejectedly drag my pathetic starving form back to my room where i now sit, licking crumbs from my desk drawers and wishing it was friday.

on the bright side, i think the freshman boy was hitting on me until i revealed that i was in fact not a freshman but rather an r.a. at that point a fire couldn't have had him running away any faster.

*sigh*

right now i'm listening to one of the male r.a.'s and his girlfriend having sex. again.

it's not like he lives right next door or anything. he lives on the other side of the courtyard - as in, the echoey courtyard surrounded by the five dorms we all share. so right now 21 r.a.'s and the approximately 500 freshmen whose rooms face us are all listening to them have s--

oh, yeah, he just finished.
