So... I felt that this storm that has cancelled, so far, not 1 but 2 days of classes in a row deserved some mention. So I'm mentioning it! What has this storm done for me? It has put off a paper proposal that was due for international marketing, a group meeting for my logistics class, an exam for business law, and some random homework for advanced composition German and German for international business. That's a beautiful thing.
Well, that's all I have to say about that. Check out the 49" my home got! (Plus a picture of my relatives playing in the snow in their bathing suits... you didn't think I got this weird all on my own, did you?)
But on the bright side, V-Khye and I are breaking the geek boundaries, taking the prison walls of our geekiness out one chink at a time. Yes, we "bit the dust" in accounting yesterday. It was beautiful. I think we sat there a full minute before deciding to leave, but such time is neglegible in the face of the geeky pressure we had to overcome in order to leave the class behind. Instead, we had a much more enjoyable time playing a modified version of War (the card game), during which history repeated itself when Germany (V-Khye) lost to the rest of the world (me). He should have stayed away from those neutral countries... it only pissed me off. Sure, I granted him a few unimportant land victories, like Georgia and Texas, but Switzerland and Belgium (and Alaska!) repelled his forces with ease. Surprisingly so did the Australians. We weren't quite sure what to expect from them, but they rose to the occasion and sent him scurrying back to Europe. And so, the allied forces triumphed... and we killed an hour that would have otherwise been spent going comatose with boredom in accounting. All in all, a satisfying evening.
V-Khye and I determined earlier that it was only our extreme geekiness, which programs us to attend lectures, even when they're pointless, that kept us going. But since he wasn't going to be there, so I wouldn't have anyone to make stupid jokes with to keep myself occupied, and it's hot and yucky... Well, I managed to break the geekiness boundaries. Thus it is, that I am here working on the ol' website instead of sitting in accounting. Ok, ok, maybe it's not a complete loss of geekiness... but at least I exchanged it for a more interesting form of geekiness.Geekiness isn't the only tendency I have, however. While compiling my results from various online quizzes, I have determined that I'm evil as well. In all the movies/shows I test for, I keep coming out the evil character. Well, I guess not in X-Men. Mystique was the only villian possible to get, but I got Gambit. Of course, he just likes to "blow shit up."
Speaking of battles (I'm such a transition expert), I must say that Melissa and I played an excellent game of Taboo (our new Sunday night ritual), soundly defeating Tony and V-Khye. Geekiness came through when such tricky words came up as "Worm," with forbidden words Earth, Soil, Ground, Living, and Snake. But in 8103, Geeks 'R' Us, all it took was "a virus, that sends itself to other people" to immediately illicit the correct response. Beautiful. Well, perhaps it was all that talk of worms, but hunger just won. I'm out. Until next time!
