i'm procrastinatingggg
right so i missed fwa because i'm oblivious to everything that isn't an MLP apparantly. i'm kinda bummed, too. it would have been really nice to meet some artists i've known online for a while, as well as new faces, and especially on my own turf. pennsylvania blows, everyone should come to atlanta for everything :P
anyway, i'm not sick anymore. it seems i may have had food poisioning from the student center's sketchy kitchen policies.
today Anz and Buddy visited and it was glorious. and something truly epic happened while they were over.
see, it's that time of year again when a bunch of gawking dumbasses come tour the campus and pretty much just treat everything (even the dorms where people LIVE) like some sort of public park. it's really annoying and you have to watch your stuff pretty closely.
since i live in a suite, the tourists don't just walk down a dorm hallway, they come INTO MY SUITE LOBBY (a private den/commonroom for the five people who live here, and the hub for all five rooms and both bathrooms) completely unannounced at a stupid fucking time when people are studying or showering. i was really annoyed because if Anz and Buddy weren't here, i would probably be in my underwear, and i wasn't given so much as a knock. so anyway, the tourists burst in, completely interrupting my conversation with Anz and Buddy, and ask a bunch of really stupid questions ("omg you mean... there's FIVE rooms in here?!?!" ...nooo, just five doors to throw you off) and look in my room and just generally make me puffbristlegrrr
once they left, i was annoyed but figured the invasion was over for the week. then i pulled out my frozen bird head so i could show Anz, and realized it would have been really funny if all these potential students walked in on me holding a severed animal head.
about ohhh... 20? minutes later, i hear ANOTHER tour group heading down the walkway towards my suite. i ran over to my freezer, and while i couldn't cleanly pull the head out and unwrap it from all the layers of plastic and tissue in time, i grabbed another ziploc'd small dead bird i had found earlier, and came back in the lobby talking to Anz and Buddy and brandishing my dead bird just as the tour group came in.
i just kept talking about the specimen and pointing out various aspects of it, including a few gory ones, as the tour came through and just pretended like they weren't there. some people saw the dead bird and started getting all O.O and pointing and according to Anz just looking really freaked out, disgusted, and horrified. other people seemed to be totally cool with the dead bird. or they just didn't realize what was in there. idunno, they were 2(most of them) to 5(some of them) feet away from me since the lobby is small.
anyway, it was epic win and i haven't had any tours come through again. i hope my RA doesn't kill me. either she didn't notice what i was holding, or pretended like it wasn't there. i'm pretty sure there's some policy about not keeping dead animals in the dorms.
(and wow, reading over this kinda makes me sound like one of those attention whore highschool kids who are all "I'M WEIRD! LOOK HOW WEIRD AND RANDOM I AM! AREN'T I SPOOKY? MY DOCTOR HAS ME ON CRAZY PILLS! OMG SPORK DOOM SQUIRREL PIGGY INVADER ZIM MONTY PYTHON!"
but that is totally not the case. i just... really thought it would be a funny scene for tourists to walk in on. and it also kinda teaches them a lesson for just barging into someone's home)
(and also, did i mention it was really funny?)
