Cuttlefish

I don't really like the word "cuddle." I don't mind the actual cuddling, I just don't like the word. (say it out loud...it's just weird...) I think I don't like that word because it makes me think of a cuttlefish. Not that I'm really familiar with the cuttlefish, and I really shouldn't care one way or the other, yet somehow the cuttlefish disgusts me. Anyway, the problem I find is that cuddle doesn't have a synonym that I can think of. You would have to use a whole descriptive phrase, at which point whomever you are talking to would probably reply, "oh, so you were cuddling!'

Boxing Day

December 26th is Boxing Day, so naturally I wished my friend a Happy Boxing Day. He asked me what it was. Then I realized I didn't know. It's just one of those holidays that is in red on calendars so you don't forget. He said maybe Boxing Day is when you box up all of the presents that you don't want so you can go exchange them at the store. That got me thinking...(I know, that can be dangerous) I can't clearly remember any time I have ever returned a present to the store because I didn't want it. I guess if I don't love it immediately, then I attach some sort of sentimental value to the gift so I can never part with it. Now that I think about it, it's the stuff that people give me that I never use that I seem to have around longer than anything else. It's like the thing becomes a symbol of my friendship with that person, and if I let it go then I am letting them down as a friend or maybe even foreshadowing the eventual termination of our friendship.

Or maybe I just can't remember returning presents because I always get cool stuff.

For the one and only

My roommate and I are basically the same person. Unfortunately, she is leaving the country for a bit. Here are some reasons why she will be missed:

1. Door bell ditching
2. Scuse, Redic, Abbrev, Delish
3. Talking in Spanish all the time and getting our roommates to say "Hola, Como estas?"
4. Escorting me home when I fall asleep in other apartments
5. Directing me to my room (and helping me dodge the tv) when I fall asleep on the couch
6. Calling the Homies to HT
7. Neil Diamond
8. Doing the dishes
9. Her anger levels..."I'm kind of mad right now!"
10. Our flag football victory jump (and trying not to hurt ourselves in the act)
11. Did you say, Billy, I love you?
12. Lips and butts
13. The greatest friend ever!

Although some may call her Frankenstein or a horse, she will always be Kimberlena to me

The Wonderful World of Homestar Runner

I want everyone to know that instead of studying for finals I just spent over an hour watching episodes of Homestar Runner.

Thanks a lot Russ and B.

Every 15 Minutes

Today I was talking with my roomies and Russ about Ronnie's blog of his ten most hated things, and how most had to do with sleep. I commented that mine would also have to do with sleep. I started with: I don't like it when I fall asleep in random places, or when I fall asleep upside down or in other awkward positions, or when people can never wake me up, or when I fall down the stairs after trying to walk home from an apartment I fell asleep in, or when I flip out upon being woken up, or when people hold me accountable for things I say or do within 15 minutes before or after I fall asleep...

At that point Russ interrupted with, "15 Minutes before or after you fall asleep?!! That's like your entire day!"

I laughed pretty hard at that. But sadly it was a bittersweet moment...because deep down I knew it was true. Maybe someday I will assume the sleeping habits of a normal person.

Atleast I don't drool.
