If my answers frighten you, you should cease asking scary questions.
I'm writing a French paper, listening to Spice Girls, and just drank an M&M milkshake from Cookout. I feel like there needs to be an emoticon to express this level of happiness, but I'm pretty sure there isn't.
Last week was hellish, because of work and a long disagreement with Adam where we didn't see eye-to-eye on certain issues, but we're fine now.
So this means I didn't break up with him, Emily (paragraph directed to you because of the life chat we had the other night).
The reasons are as follows: he taught me to play poker, and that is a deep and enduring bond right there. I find poker an insanely sexy game, even when clothing is not removed. Which it wasn't. Something about being in a room with six young men all finagling a strategy to keep as many meaningless little chips as possible is awesome. They all take it so seriously--this is not only their luck, but their very masculinity that is on display. So I will always adore Adam for letting me (the only girl in the room) experience Poker Night. The other reason is that he seems to have stopped expecting too much out of me. Last night he was very gracious, telling all the other guys in the room that his plans were for the night were entirely dependant on me and what I felt like doing. He also let me drag him to a frat party on Friday, which was impressive considering how uncomfortable he looked as an AXP at a Pi Kap party. (He hates dancing as well, which is a tribute to how much he's willing to put up with to see me.)
Background: AXP split off from Pi Kap years ago when Pi Kap lost their charter, and never went through the proper channels to have AXP officially recognized, since they believed they were the legitimate continuation of Pi Kap. Then Pi Kap re-instated themselves, and for some reason Elon recognized them. Until recently, AXP used to maintain they were the "true" chapter, as Pi Kap still does. Nevertheless, Adam decided to wear his AXP letters to the Pi Kap party and I was unable to persuade him otherwise. So of course one of the drunker Pi Kaps decided to give Adam a piece of his mind on how he felt about the "Pi Kap bastard" fraternity. This drunk guy was bearing down on me, because I deliberately placed myself between Adam and Drunk Pi Kap.
That was when I knew it was time to leave before the situation escalated. A word to the wise: boys will lose all reason when the honor and legitimacy of their fraternity is criticized. Not that girls with that amount of history would behave themselves either. Sororities are just more passive-aggressive (read: cattier) about it.
So Friday night sucked, but Poker Night more than made up for it. Also on Saturday night, we watched Pulp Fiction as I fought mightily to stay awake after six hours in the sun for what basically amounted to Alpha Chi field day. Pulp Fiction is the least bloody and cleverest Tarantino I've seen, and I could not possibly describe the plot except that it involves robbing restaurants, murder, adultery that almost-but-not-quite happens, foot rubs, milkshakes, blueberry pie, and above all, getting "medieval on your ass." Fine quotes that resulted from this movie:
- "Normally, both your asses would be dead as fucking fried chicken, but you happen to pull this shit while I'm in a transitional period so I don't wanna kill you."
- "You see, this profession is filled to the brim with unrealistic motherfuckers. Motherfuckers who thought their ass would age like wine. If you mean it turns to vinegar, it does. If you mean it gets better with age, it don't."
- "That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten."
- "You hear me talkin', hillbilly boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'ma bout get medieval on your ass. "
- Mia: Don't you hate that?
Vincent: What?
Mia: Uncomfortable silences. Why do we feel it's necessary to yak about bullshit in order to be comfortable?
Vincent: I don't know. That's a good question.
Mia: That's when you know you've found somebody special. When you can just shut the fuck up for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence.
- Jules: I want you to go in that bag, and find my wallet.
Pumpkin: Which one is it?
Jules: It's the one that says Bad Motherfucker.
- "If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions."
- "Just because you are a character doesn't mean that you have character."
- Jules: You remember Antoine Roccamora, half black, half Samoan, used to call him Tony Rocky Horror?
Vincent: Yeah, maybe. Fat, right?
Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call the brother fat, I mean he got a weight problem. What's the nigger gonna do? He's Samoan.
- "Hamburgers. The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast."
- "Mind if I have some of your tasty beverage to wash this down with?"
- Maynard: Nobody kills anyone in my store except me and Zed.
[doorbell rings]
Maynard: That's Zed.
- Jules: I'll just walk the earth.
Vincent: What'cha mean walk the earth?
Jules: You know, walk the earth, meet people... get into adventures. Like Caine from "Kung Fu."
- "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go home and have a heart attack."
- Vincent: I think we should be leaving now.
Jules: Yeah, that's probably a good idea.
Sadly, now I am heading into mid-term season and my workload is astronomical, so that is going to curtail some of my adventures. I should probably get on that mound of homework.
This was a really random post, so I apologize.
