Seeing Hal Jordan Get Hit In The Head /Is/ Pretty Funny

[masterofmidgets]

This evening roommate, her best friend, and exchange student have been sitting around in our room talking about places to get drunk and go shopping in San Francisco. Meanwhile, I am cracking up over scans of Hal Jordan's repeated head injuries and watching Stargate fanvids set to Pinky and the Brain. I do not think you could set up a more stark contrast in life interests if you tried.

I really wish they would leave, though. It's really late, and I'm getting twitchy having so many people sitting on my quilt. EXCUSE ME. MY QUILT IS NOT FOR EATING ON. PLEASE TO MOVE YOUR ASSES NOW KTHNX.

Also! Can anyone tell me if "baller" is Stanford-specific slang, or something that people outside the bubble use? Because I swear I have never heard it in my life, but roommate and friends keep describing things as baller, and the guy whose story I'm line-editing just used it, and I AM CONFUSED.

I FAIL AT MODERN SLANG.

Like, seriously, 90% of my non-swearing slang is a) years out of date, b) British, or c) culled from various sci fi tv series. Some of it is all three!

It does lead to some comical misunderstandings, though.

It's all good. I'd never heard "hyphy" until I came to the west coast.

p.s., whyyyyy have I not started my essays and stuffff? Ahhhh, nothing is even happening on the internet, so why am I constantly refreshing on unchanging pages?? Save me from myself!

Then you are one-up on me, because I have never heard that before!

Ouch, you still haven't started your essays yet? I feel your pain - I didn't start my Engish paper last week until 4.30. But I promise, the internet will still be here when you finish! Dooooooo iiiiiit.

But I hate writing more, I think, than I hate pulling all-nighters. I wish you could take this class for me, since you are a genius writer. It's all Englishy writing-y majors, some of whom have one ginormous and international prizes for being genius writers. I am just a struggling Earth Systems major who wants nothing more than to graduate on time (seeing as I can't afford not to) and thus I am taking a beast of a PWR 2 class because it also fulfills humanities.


whine whine whinge.

I will gladly fulfill natural sciences or even engineering for you in exchange.

wow. I suck. *one = won.

I had better edit these essays very carefully.
