Funny Story (Perhaps More Than One!)

In my History of the Middle Ages class yesterday, we were discussing women in the middle ages. When our professor got to how a woman's menses is considered unclean, sinful, and so on, he said, "during the month of her period... I mean time..." the woman is isolated. Yep... he slipped and said month. If that's not a Freudian slip, I don't know what is! Most of the girls in class caught it, too.

He then went on about how men didn't want to have to deal with that sort of thing and then asked, "How many guys here would go out and buy tampons for their girlfriend?" There was a bit of a pause while all of the girls in the class (maybe about 20) snickered, and then two of the ten guys present raised their hands...

Dr. Fortin then imparted a little story: As he was at his girlfriend's place last night the dog went through her purse, pulled out a tampon, and started chewing on it... xD

Ah... I love studying medieval history with Fortin.

Another Great Headline

Those who go to Millersville are aware that a hearing on "academic justice" (absolute nonsense, staged by republicans who were afraid that conservative students were being discriminated against by liberal professors) was recently at our University, spearheaded by Gib Armstrong, the republican representative in Lancaster (right near MU). This morning, I saw the following headline in today's local paper:

Armstrong accused of using staff, office for campaigning.

(This is illegal in Pennsylvania.)

It's Like a Little Ray of Sunshine...

Now that's my definition of justice!

Speaking of Churches...

Today I got a little care package from my old church youth group. I remember them doing similar things for the college students of GSPC, but in my case it feels sort of wierd because I was alienated 4 years or more ago, and left 3 years ago. I don't regret it either, and in their defense the youth leaders were nice enough... I just never felt like I fit with my peers and when I started thinking for myself, I didn't feel like I fit with Presbyterian doctrines either, especially in that particular church. Nevertheless, I will write a thank-you note...

Housing Next Year

Diehm 311... well, it's better than nothing.

Why are People Threatened by Religion?

Love it.

Could it be Spring?

Shocking, I know...

But the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and it's actually quite warm...

Plus, I got my registration number from my advisor and my schedule for this fall is looking good!

Overall, I'm in a pretty good mood (:

The Last in Line

"We're off to the witch
We may never never never come home
But the magic that we'll feel is worth a lifetime..."

I suppose today is going all right so far. I'm just worried about getting a photographer for the musical... but be that as it may, I'm sure things will work out all right (:

In A Rather Bad Mood

Today started out all right, except for all the stress and rushing about... then it kind of just went downhill from there.

I spent my evening helping at and taking photos of the first fencing meet Millersville has hosted this year, and after about two hours of blithely photographing the bouts, I was informed by the stern referee that I wasn't supposed to be using flash and he could give me a black card (kick me out) unless I hadn't known that and I said no, of course I hadn't. And I went back and sat down and relayed this to Sam and then when Chris finished his match he came over and teased me and laughed and I asked why he didn't tell me ahead of time but he said he hadn't noticed and when he left I just put my head down and started crying... I felt so embarassed.

But this one is funny :D

THE ULTIMATE TACO

Well.

Now I am slightly more educated about what I've had for at least 7 years...

Heheh

Eh?

I think O.o pretty much sums up my state of mind right now... still, not a bad thing...

Dream Poems

From the dream (a mixture of scenes and poetry) that I had last night, my own imagination, and other influences:

John and Carol
Were actors.
They went to an audition
Holding hands,
In the big city
And stood outside the doors.
After a while, the director
Appeared and gestured for John.
Carol waited for and hour
And a half
But no one came for her.
Then John opened the doors and said,
“I’m sorry, Carol. This just
Isn’t going to work.”
Carol went home crying.
John eventually fell in love
With a beautiful actress named Cassie
After Cassiopeia, a queen
Known for her great beauty.
They married two days after their
Third show together was a success.
No one knows what happened
To Carol, but perhaps she got a gig
Off-off Broadway, because of her
Large breasts and her
Enthusiastic personality.

Exercise: re-write the above poem to give it a happy ending in which everyone is satisfied.

John and Carol
Were actors.
They went to an audition
Holding hands,
In the big city
And stood outside the doors.
After a while, the director
Appeared and gestured for John.
Carol waited for and hour
And a half
But no one came for her.
Then John opened the doors and said,
“Carol, I got the part!”
Carol smiled and clapped, even
If she was a little jealous,
Because she loved John
And she knew he loved her.
Her friends asked,
“How can you be content?”
And Carol answered,
“I am happy for John.”
John eventually fell in love
With a beautiful actress named Cassie
After Cassiopeia, a queen
Known for her great beauty.
They started an affair two days after their
Third show together was a success.
Carol wondered, but did not admit
Why John was away so much,
Why the phone sometimes rang but
Someone hung up when she answered,
Why John had to keep his
Briefcase locked.
Carol said nothing, and continued to
Work at the diner where she was a
Waitress to support John,
And got good tips because of her
Large breasts and her
Enthusiastic personality.

I'm Not Paranoid...

... I do have hyper-thyroid, however. I'll be seeing an endocrinologist over my two-day break... so much for catching up on work at college when I don't have classes.

Butterflies

"So what if you turn into a butterfly? Butterflies die too."

Courses

I fucking hate course scheduling.

Back

Back at college... I can hardly keep my eyes open so it's off to bed for me. Wish me good dreams...

It's Saturday

(Just in case no one knew what day today is.)

Happy day-after-St. Patrick's-Day, I guess... the party last night was cancelled so I ended up going to the mall with my mom, which proved to be rather fruitless. Nevertheless, here is a four-leaf-clover I found last year:

Who knows what I'll be doing today with the rest of my day? Back to Millersville tomorrow...

"No, there is too much... let me sum-up."

A cookie to the first person who guesses where the quote's from!

Monday: Packed for an overnight stay and then went to Allyssa's. Watched the first part of Mirrormask and went to bed.

Tuesday: Got up at an ungodly hour, rode to NJ and hopped on the 7:30 train to New York City. "Mind the Gap." Spent the day in NY walking around with Allyssa generally enjoying ourselves. Was told yet again I have cat-like mannerisms.

Wednesday: Jason visited. Showed him off... I mean introduced him to... the librarians and my mentor at the elementary school. Had dinner. Went to the library again to lead the evening bookclub, more or less enjoyed myself. Went to sleep and had some wierd nightmares.
