experiments

today i did an experiment, almost to the end of the ten hour of experiment requirement that intro to psych has. ten hours is like twenty episodes of full house. that's a lot.
when i was younger i definitely measured time in units of "full house". anyways.
these experiments that i have been doing are all labeled random names, like "jump", "skip", "alt", etc. i have yet to decode any pattern, for the experiments don't involve any jumping, skipping, or alting.
today's was called "sit".
i decided that i didn't need to write down what room it was, but instead wandered around the second floor of this building knocking on doors whose numbers sounded familiar. i was sure it was an odd number.
when i finally got to the door that was labeled "sit experiment", 232, there was a sign that said, please sit and wait for instructions, quiet, experiment in progress. at this point i was two minutes late.
i then proceeded to sit for two minutes. then i tried to make some noise, but quietly, so that people would know that i was there. then i decided to stand. then pace. then sit. then shuffle the papers i had. then pace.
it was at this point that i came to the conclusion that this was an experiment in annoying people while making them wait and sit.
that would make sense. i was on candid camera.
then i sat for five more minutes searching for the hidden camera and trying to look not that stupid and sort of cute in case i was on camera.
then i got fed up and went to find someone in charge.
then i took the experiment, which had nothing to do with sitting.
the moral of the story is to never assume you're on candid camera, for it will only result in disappointment and destruction.

ramblings

there are times when i realize that my life is made up of count downs, like how many more days until winter is over or spring break or summer is here, and this is a really good way to wake up one day and be like, whoa i just spent my entire life waiting for something more to come, and now i'm playing bingo and my hair is blue. bingo and blue hair will be fun, but for when it's time for that.
it's time to enjoy the fall, the cold, the now, the wind, the people, the laughter, the randomosity, the dancing, the friends, the phonecalls, the day to day fun. sounds like a coffee commercial, live to the last drop.
some commercials are true. like got milk.
i don't got milk at the moment, and i wish i did. how true is that.
i have a question for all you smart people out there-- is ignorance bliss? would you rather be stupid or unhappy? and also,
why can't the trix rabbit eat trix?
i feel like if it were my cereal and i wasn't allowed to eat it, i'd be like oh no hell no, then i will stop wasting my time making your damn commercials.
that's right. the rabbit needs to stand up to the man.
damn the man.

do you like pina coladas?

do you like pina coladas? and getting caught in the rain?
and shrek? and shrek two?
and people who randomly im after like um four years. what? who are you?
actually i like it.
when you hear that people change their name, makes me think.
apparently pam is now charlie, which i can see. she's charlie-ish if it is possible for one to embody such an adjective.
would life be different with a different name? yes definitely if my name were bertha or like candi or like burlap. it shouldn't be legal to name your kids silly things. or maybe only legal to name them silly things.
why do people have to get a lisence to drive but not to have children? or at least get a permit.
don't worry, when i am queen of my socialist country, all will be righted.
big sister is watching. no actually probably not, i'm probably doing something else, but be good anyways. and drive carefully.
i heard more people die from coconuts falling on their heads than from shark bites... just think about how different "jaws" would be if it were about coconuts.
damn it feels good to be a gangsta.

hmm

why am i so easily amused?
today i played in the rain and puddles for like two hours. mmm 80 degree weather... and lightening is so fun.
there is something to be said for not having all sunny days. like yay, for example.
Eli Finkel (my psych prof who i heart) quote of the day, on Nomar's compulsive behaviors and his relationship with Mia Hamm:
"In conclusion-- OCD. Chicks dig it."
On an unrelated yet slightly related note: I think I will declare psych my major.
and then propose to Prof. Finkel.
first Jewish boy i've fallen in love with at first sight (slash first class).
He is so funny.
I heart him.

ooh fancy

ooh fancy. first post. am i only allowed to post? i don't get this. inspired by eli, i heart you.
i decided that random thoughts need a place to live, so here is a home for them.
or just a different way to waste time on the computer, now that i have quit my addictions to: text twist, spider solitaire, oregon trail, minesweeper, and word mojo.
i'm currently on a twelve step plan for the facebook and aim. slowly but surely. i'm doing better. one step at a time.
first post done.
