Eri's response to my question of "Why don't you take bio with me?" (sn changed to protect our dairy fairy)
Eri : see, ro, i do love you. very much. and i think biology is a great subject to study. no, really, i do believe that. but...
Eri: NO

(Offering cookies)
Eri: Does anyone want a cookie?
Meera: No, thanks.
Eri: It has vitamin E!

About Shirtless guy
Gina: It was weird seeing him sober. I wasn't sure he was drunk in the haunted house but I was pretty sure he was. He was drunk the other night, though Eri didn't know if he was drunk or gay.
Eri: I didn't know if he was just drunk or just gay or drunk and gay.
Gina: Oh no, he's flamingly straight.

Playing basketball with the toy baskeball hoop
Ro: Oh, now I know how I hurt myself!
Gina: I love those random moments of realization....Ooh, look at what I can do! (Reaches up and dunks the ball) I'm basketball player!
Ro: Not even A basketball player....BASKETBALL PLAYER.
Gina: I can go around saying "Basketball player!"
Eri: "Basketball!"

On the way back from Ro's room
Gina: I have to go pee. I wanted to for a long time but I didn't want to. Why do I have to succumb to my bladder? Doesn't it understand I don't want to? That's it, I'm not going to pee. (pause) I'm going to go pee.

I had so much fun last night, but please don't let me play with raw chicken ever again! Salmonella everywhere!! SCARY!!!

Now, how ironic was it that Shirtless guy was next door to us...shirtless! Err, and rather pantless too, actually, but I think we can skip over that for now. Maybe we should start calling him by his actual name, just so we won't pull a Gina and say "Hey, Spam...err...Lint....err..." even though that was really funny. And he was there at breakfast too! That's rather scary, we're starting to see him everywhere.

Quotes of the Evening:
Lila throwing the headless baby on the floor -
Lila: I hate my baby!!!! (Pause) It's fat!!!

When he offered us punch and left to get it -
Gina: What are you, crazy?
Rocio: There's nothing in it, it's just punch.
Gina: He's going to put something in it
Meera: Seeing as how I spent the entire evening in a bed with him and nothing happened, I think we're safe.

Alright, what to say about this past evening? I just have some quotes:

While Meera and I tried to convince him to do his math hw -
Shirtless guy: That's what I love about Vassar. Everyone encourages you to do your math homework. They're like, yow! and I'm like biatch! And they're like f*ck yeah! And I'm all WHOOO!!

When he's walking out the door to get his hw -
Again S.G.: I'm going to try to make it back, but if I don't, don't hold it against me. It's a long hard journey. If it wasn't, everyone would be here.

When Meera is sleepy and must choose between floor or bed -
Meera: Ro, I'm frightened.
Me: Meera, it's okay. Everyone feels that way the first time.

Poo...why don't I have a Halloween costume? This is the first year I've been without one, and the first year I haven't gone trick or treating in such a long time. Poooooooooo.....why does college suck the fun out of you?

Gina, Marc and I were playing word association at dinner and this is what happened:

Gina: Cutie
Rocio: Pie
Marc: Josh Hartnett!

Isn't that great? I love it, hahahaha....

LOOK!!!!!!!!

To our darling MEEKA the MEEKINS:

We want you to know that your advice means soooo much to us and that we love you forever for being such a great friend. You're a perfect person to talk to and get good advice and we liiiike you. We found some quotes that are perfect for you :-)

"The road to a friend's house is never long."
-Danish proverb
Even though you live on the fourth floor, we'll always be there to knock (err, not knock...just burst in, rather) on your door and sleep in your bed. The trip is rather fun actually, we usually run or dance up the stairs like an elf, in Gina's case.

"Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything."
-Muhammad Ali
You always say that you haven't learned anything in school...and maybe that's a good thing because "playtime is essentially good for you" as Gina says. (Gimo says "Stop making excuses, Gina"). You definitely get an A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ for friendship

"The real test of friendship is: can you literally do nothing with the other person? Can you enjoy those moments of life that are utterly simple?"
-Eugene Kennedy
How true is that? How many times have we sat in your room eating peanut butter sandwiches (chunky, of course) ["And her mints" says Gina"] and those moments are wonderful. ("Hey Meera, remember the time I killed you," says Nana "That's true friendship" : "True friends stab you in the front." -Oscar Wilde ) Didn't you get a thing on your Dove wrapper that said to treasure moments like this? I hereby claim this to be a moment like this. Heehee....

We love you Meera! Even though you don't believe in that four letter word. FROCK YOU. heehehe..."I like frock" says Gina.

I'm 60% happy and 40% sad today. I think that's a good quantity. Better than I've been for quite a while, so hoorah. Thank you Meera for offering me chocolate chip cookies. You're a sweetie :-) I'm hoping things will continue to get better because I really really can't bear for them to be worse. And I know I said that before and they did get worse, but this time things were talked out. And I'm extremely happy because of that (yes, I know that sounds hypocritical and all, given the 40% sad thing, but still...) You must all see my computer wallpaper now and groan in my mushiness, heehee.

On another note, they have potato boats today in ACDC! WHOA!! Heehee...

The TABOO pizza....
Jilli: Ooh, forbidden food.
Eri: Let's eat the evidence!
Jilli: They'll never pin it on us now!

Meera's CD player...
Rocio: Why does it spin when I open it?
Marc: Because it starts when you close it.
Rocio: Oh, I thought it was possesed.
Marc: No, it's not possesed. It's just working.

We wrote "Happy Birthday Hsiu" to our student fellow on the sidewalk outside our dorm. It was only chalk but apparently it's not allowed. Not to mention it was 1am.
Us: This is soo cool!
Security guard who comes driving up to us in a car: That's frowned upon.
Us: Uh-oh....RUN!

Eri: Hey, did you guys see that outside?
Rocio: What?
Eri: No, you're supposed to say "Yeah, that was sooo cool!"
Laura: Oh. Oh yeah!
Lila: It's scandalous!

After Gina has received a nickname of "Nana"
Gina: Nana wants cheese and Gina wants milk.
Meera: Nana wants cheese? Oh my god, she has multiple personalities!
Rocio: So whats does Gimo want?
Gina: Gimo? Gimo wants a robot.

Gina: Guys, help me figure out who Gina is again. Gimo is the silly one, Nana is the violent one, and so what makes Gina different? Is Gina the trinity?
Meera: Gina, you're scary.

Rocio: Anyone else remember anything funny that happened today?
Gina: Just give me a minute, I'm tired. I need to regenerate. It's hard having three people in you.

Meera: What do you want to drink, Eri?
Eri: What do you have?
Meera: Fruit Frenzy and orange juice. Let her taste the Fruit Frenzy, Gina.
Eri: No, I want orange juice.
Gina: I thought I'd be more persuasive, being three people and all.

Rocio: So which one's which again?
Gina: Nana is the violent one, Gina is the little girl and Gimo is the gay best friend.
Meera: Wait, you said you're the trinity, so does that make you the violent gay best friend?

Wow, Eri's computer is difficult. It's all in Japanese, I hope I didn't kill it or something.

I'm bored. What to say? HMMMMM......I called my parents and they said I sounded down in the dumps. That's not good. I'm just tiiiiired. And sleepy. We play too much. Not good, not good, not good. I like our photo site, it's really really keen. Gina wants to see the movie. What movie? Oh. The movie we made. Laura needs to show it to her. "and i like laura's mommy" says Gina. "and the scarf". John is sleeping on Gina's bed. hehe. Ohh...her room is really cool! She did stuff! "glow in the dark stuff, light stuff, butterfly stuff" YEYEYEY!! (She giggles at that, aw). Hmm....what to say. Ramble, ramble. good food today in the MPR. Yey spaghetti dinner, it was soooo good. It was potato boat good. They haven't had potato boats in a long time,they've had seafood boats and they've been really really weird. Thanks to Thach and Danielle and Becky for pulling together this thingy. It was so nice to have REAL FOOD for once. I loved it. Gina liked the garlic bread with cheese. I agree, yuuuummy. And now they're watching Gone with the Wind. I should watch because I've never seen it before but I sorta don't feel like sitting through a four hour movie tonight. I feel sick. And down in the dumps, so I guess my parents were correct. Isn't that weird?

How did this day go by so fast? It's really really weird. I guess it's because I woke up relatively late, but still. How do eight hours fly by without anything to show for them? That's what I feel like all the time, that time flies by at ridiculous speeds and that I can't catch up. Poo on that. Wallow wallow wallow in self-pity, as Meera says. I like to wallow. I feel like wallowing. Wallowing is great. I want something to accomplish. I know I should do work. BLAH. oh, I put caution tape on my fuse box! Hehe. It feels cool because I feel like I'm making a statement! HA! There you go, I like my box! I'm dealing with it in an appropriate, big girl kinda way...by making fun of the school!!

BLAH.....

What Pattern Are You?

Eri and I are stripes!! YEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEY!! Rock on, stripey gals!

No one has written anything yet, so I guess I'll go again.

Meera's trying to pushpin papers into her walls, but it's not really working. My theory: if she can't pin them in, then she can't pay her bills. Alas, no money to the credit card companies this month, too bad. We need a hammer here, stat. Oh, she's using her brush as a makeshift hammer. How clever. Go Meerca! I'm afraid she'll come after me with her brush. Oh yeah, I'm in her room, by the way. No one's here, I'm lonely. Her room is cold but her comforter (her non-down comforter) is yummy. Her heater won't turn on...I think she should hit it with her brush. I'm talking to Erich now. He's an evil Jew. No offense to him or anyone else who's Jewish. That's just his screenname. Meera ran out of mints...oh never mind, she broke out with the big bag o'mints. Yeehaw! I like Siamese mints. They're cool.

By the way, Laura, what's with your name? Gwen Vauxtie? I likey, but me confuzzled.

Meera claims to be studying. However, seeing as how she's wrapped up in her blankey, methinks otherwise. Her lights have issues. When you hit them, the flamingos go out. They're "special" . Ew, I just dropped a mint and when I picked it up there was a hairball attached to it. Ooh, I have a yucky story. Jordan told me that someone on his floor bought a snake and she wanted to feed it a mice. She put it in the microwave to defrost it and it exploded and the hall smelled like bacon or something. Then her roommate put honey in the microwave to try to get rid of the stench and now the hall smells like honey roasted ham. yuuuum. ::wrinkles nose:: Now Meerca's peeling the tape off her wall. I'm giving you the play by play, folks. It won't come off. She's using a plastic knife to peel off the sticky stuff that held up her touch light. Hahahaha. She looks silly. Aw, she's cute, heehee. Tahiti, tahiti, tahiti. SUGAR RUSH!!! Mints are yuuuuuuuuuuummy! I feel yucky. I want to go home. I want to have no work. Yet...alas....woe is me. I am Ro. Meera's still trying to wipe the white stuff off her wall using a sponge and soap. Now it looks yucky. It's bubbly white stuff that has somehow mutated into a part of the wall. It won't come off and is now part of the wall...permanently. Hehe. I think she should give up. Ha, she just called me a "Big giver upper". Isn't she precious? Heehee. HA! Miss "I'm going to be careful and not pull off any paint" just pulled off a huge chunk of paint off her wall while pulling off her stars. HA! Okey. We just wasted a half hour here. I should do work. Byeeeee

Is cold leftover Ramen a bad thing to eat? I made some yesterday and I don't know if it's bad.

ME HUNGRYYYY!!

Can a person live on Ramen and only Ramen? I guess we'll find out...

I like long black boots, they're soooooooo cool. I've always wanted a pair but I never got some because of the same reason. Yey, Eri is so stylish now :-)

I went to my high school today. It was really really weird. First off, they invented some crazy rule that visitors (as in alumni) aren't allowed to visit until after Thanksgiving. This is ridiculous, because I know that people have been going back to visit. Then they told me it was started after September 11. I was there September 11th last year! I know how this system works, and this is ridiculous. All I wanted to do was see my old teachers and my friends! So since I couldn't get official permission to do so, I went with my friend Andrew to his calc AP class, which happens to be Jon and Will's class (and also Sara's [hi Sara!]) I burst into the room, and start pouring my problems out to my old teacher and she's confused and then i sit down and then my phone rings. The funny thing is, while it was ringing I was thinking, "my goodness, whose phone is that? Who has the nerve to leave it on? Oh, dear me, it's me!!!!! I'm the girl with the phone!!!!!!!" (hehe, going back to Marc's play)I had to leave, and then I went around to the music building entrance. I told my old conductor the problem (I've had him as a teacher for five years) and he was like, no problem, you can stay here since we have different rules here in D building. Score! So yey, Mr. Eckfeld!

Eri said poopy buckets!! I like that!! What is it with buckets, anyway? Heehee...holy poopy buckets, Batman, it's the Joker!!

It was sooo windy today. It was a narsty day, blustery and rainy and icky. I feel like I'm getting into a rut, not that I mind considering I'm home and all...but my day consisted of getting up, watching TV, reading Wuthering Heights, watching more TV and now writing on this site. I feel I'm getting addicted to the Food Network and The Learning Channel all over again. I watched a Makeover Story...I love that show. Wouldn't that be cool if it were to happen to you? I should dye my hair blue, teehee. That would be like a WHOLE new me. Ta-da!! Ooh, today Wuthering Heights was on Bravo, which was very very exciting. Now I'm excited to read the end of it because I was getting a little bored. Hey, Gina, maybe there's like an eternal supply of poop...like an endless bag o' poop. Like your bag of infinite neggs! I'm bored. I know that I should be doing work right now but I'm just bored right now. I think Jon should come over right now even though ::checks watch:: yeah, he's working at the TSA (hehe, The Stupid Association) otherwise known as The Sports Authority. Ha, I think it's silly to abbreviate that but I think he feels cool when he does it. La, la, la...ooh, they're making mashed potatoes on the Food Network. Yuuuuuum...I wish I could taste the tv. Well, not the tv itself, but through the tv and into the food. Then I'd eat up all those mashed potatoes. Speaking of food, my mommy bought me Ramen today!! Yeyeyeyey! I'm taking it all to Vassar with me. And they're yummy flavors too: Chicken and mushroom, chicken and vegetables, chicken teriyaki, oriental and something else. Yeyeyeyey! OH! ::mouth waters:: They're making chocolate cake on tv!!!! Rich yummy yummy cake!! I need food now!

My dearies!! Hellooooooo!!!

Today is Tuesday and it's 7pm. You know what I've done for every past Tuesday at 7pm for a while now? I've been at Honors Ensemble. It's so weird that I'm not there right now. I'm home and therefore I should be playing in the ensemble with everyone else there....and yet, I'm not! And besides, it's not even the same ensemble it used to be. I used to have my friends there and now I'm not even friendly with a quarter of the people there. It's like you said, Meera, you're home but everything's different. Alas...what else is there to do but sit at home and watch Disney movies with my mommy and daddy? I enjoy Disney. Disney rocks my world :-)

I hope you're all feeling better. You're all sick, poop. Not sick poop. But sick comma poop. Very different. I'm a little sniffly myself. I wonder if there's some sort of substance in the Vassar bubble that prevents you from getting sick and once you burst out of the bubble you're prone to earthly diseases?

Gina, you're eighteen!!! That's sooo bizarre! Our little girl is all grown up!! You can vote now!! Yeyeyey!!

Eri, I wanted to order sushi the other day but the place said that they didn't make it on Sundays so I was sad. Eat a piece for me.

Meera, I'm sorry you don't get to make out with a guy this week. Maybe next time? Making out with a guy is nice.....um....coughcough....not that I've done that this week....blush.....

Laura Laura Laura, I'll bring you Ramen when I get back and you can have a feast and you'll have your chemical fix from the Ramen packets of flavor!!!

I love you all!!! Byeeeeeeeee for now!!!!!!

Soupgang! How I miss you all!!!

Happy Birthday Gina, my doppleganger!!!!!!!!! I mean...um....when's your birthday again? I keep forgetting. Teehee...

I hope you're all having jolly good times. I want to go to Chinatown, that sounds like soooo much fun. My keyboard is funny. It's the type that's split down the middle so you have to use a certain hand for a certain key and it's weird now. I forgot what it was like. I miss my computer at Strong, it's a lot faster. But I like being home, it's fun. Last night Jon and I went out for dinner. We went to Pizzeria Uno...I'd forgotten what it was like to have reeeeal pizza. It was sooooo good! I love deepdish pizza. Then we came back and hung out at my house and watched a movie, it was like old times again. It's odd how things can be so different when we're apart and yet when we're together again, it's like it's always been. It's perfect. I think I needed to come home to see that. I just wish I saw that at all times. I guess I'm just too sad when we're apart. Isn't that a sad cliche? I always told myself I wouldn't let me be a cliche...the sad girlfriend miles away from her guy. Tsk on me. I guess we all fall into some kind of cliche every so often. It's inevitable...that's my deep thought for the day, I suggest writing it down :-) Ooh, here's a quote from Wuthering Heights that I really liked: "...It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff, now; so he shall never know how I love him; and that, not because he's handsome, Nelly, but because he's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same, and Linton's is as different as a moonbeam from lightning, or frost from fire". Can you imagine that? To have someone be more like yourself than you are? To have your souls cut out from the same fabric? It's so idealistic and romantic and passionate....yeah, but let's not forget the tragic endings that they meet in Wuthering Heights. Still.....I'm a hopeless romantic at heart.....

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.....................byebye for now

Hi everyone! Greetings from WhiNY!! (I likey that, hehe)

I hope everyone's having a great time during the second day or third or whatnot day of their break! I miss you all so much! It was so weird not seeing you guys :-( I hung out with Jon and Will and Andrew last night and it was fun. We went to play pool at Sports Time and I beat them all in that game where you throw the balls up a ramp and through those holes. What's it called again? I forgot. And I claim I beat Jon at air hockey, even though insists on claiming that he beat me and that the score board was broken. Hehe. It would've been soooo cool had you guys been there. We should go to one of those places sometime, I wonder if they have those in Poughkeepsie. It was nice seeing people I hadn't seen for so long yet it was really really weird not being able to go back to Strong and tell you all about it. My mommy also made me soup and it was really yummy because it had chicken and wontons and good veggies, but again, like Laura said...it wasn't Ramen. I was afraid I'd get up at like 3 am and make Ramen but believe it or not I slept until noon everyday so far. Gee, I wonder if I'm making up for lack of sleep....nah, it can't be. La, la, la...what else? I feel behind on the news too, worry not dear Laura. My parents were surprised I hadn't heard at all about the scary guy who's kiling people in Virginia. I feel so out of it. Darn bubble. Let's make a pact to read the newspaper at least twice a week. It'll be tea time with news time all in one. We will burst the bubble!!!

Alrighty my dearies, it's laundry time. Alas, I have a lot of clothes calling my name and it's not pleasant. Yey, I like hearing from you so yeyeyey! I miss you all and love you lots!!!

So yes, my day is practically over now. I only have bio lab left and I hear it's not terribly long. Score! But in case you're all interested, yes, I did finish my paper in time (thank you kind spirits who found me laptops and fed me peanut butter sandwiches and gave me power cords and cheered me on and made me work - yes, I love my friends :-) You guys are awesome, I'm sure I would've lost my batteries had you not been there for me. Thankee all! Oh, and I got some sleep! Yes, two whole beautiful hours. It was wonderful.

Everyone's gone, I'm sad. WAAAA. I'll get over it for now, I'm too sleepy. But as soon as I wake up I'm going to be cranky cause I'll miss you all. Write to me! Call me! Come visit me (yes, even if you live in Soo Foo)! I'll write on the site as often as I can and keep you guys posted on all the "cool" things that happen in WP (or...WhiNy) and you have to tell me about what happens in SuNeJe and SoGeo. Hehe, we covet Meera's cool abbreviations. Anywho, it's off to class for me. It's raining and I have to trek to Olmstead. Adios my dears! I'll see my soupgang soon! (exit while singing "Someday My Soup Will Come")
