i have barely been moved in for 6 hours and already the fire alarm has gone off. WE ARE OFF TO A GOOD START
for the third year in a row i got a randomly assigned roommate and for the second year in a row it is a pretty metrosexual asian boy. hooray! except for some reason this dude has like 5 or 6 different names -- on my roommate assignment letter it said he was "Hungi," on the door to our room the little name tags said something else [i forgot], then when i met him he introduced himself as Huang, then after i talked to him for 5-10 minutes he suddenly became 'Hiroki' for no evident reason.
I look forward to a full school year of avoiding refering to him by name for fear of becoming even more confused! quick, people, i need as many synonyms for "Hey You" as possible!
in other news, UB has launched this thing called THE UB FACEBOOK. i've vaguely heard tell of these things from experiments with them in other universities -- it's basically like a big ol' Friendster/Myspace thing, but only for UB students.
--now i don't know about all of you, but i know several female friendster/myspace users that constantly get hit on by reaaaaally creepy internet guys. it was only fitting that i was introduced to the facebook with the phrase "UB FACEBOOK -- life at UB just got a whole lot creepier." Seriously, imagine people being able to do that in day-to-day life now. yikes.
of course, i had to check this thing out myself, so i quickly punched out a personal profile for kicks and i shit you not, within HALF AN HOUR i got my very own creepy internet stalker!
**********: hey
**********: i found you on the ubfacebook
**********: i'm super senior
this one is definitely a step above the rest, though, mostly because it's not even a female, like most of my stalkers have been -- in fact, it's a GIGANTIC HOMOSEXUAL ASIAN DUDE THAT SPEAKS IN ENGRISH.
of course, examples are needed for full effect:
**********: am i scarying you away now?
**********: you didn't response
**********: *turn my head to you and tears out of my eyes*
**********: now i'm thinking of Mary Pipen
**********: aspeno? [yeah, I have no idea either...]
this was really amusing for a long time, so i decided to start speaking engrish back to him to see if he would notice:
Matty was like: i am the fabulous multi-taskerer
**********: *turn my head to you and tears out of my eyes*
Matty was like: *whistles the wonderful tune*
Matty was like: the psychology and musics are filled with wonderment and many exciting! [me editorializing on my choice of majors]
Needless to say, this went on and on for about half an hour until he started to get really, really creepy and i stopped playing around -- i'll spare the details, but suffice it to say that it followed me asking him about the origin of his screen name and was met with him talking about stabbing people up the butt with penises.
presumably his own.
yeah...i definitely stopped being friendly at that point and shortened all of my dialogue with him to one-syllable responses. i don't think he's quite gotten it yet.
i think the best way to end this is to show you all the picture he sent me somewhere along the line while he was introducing himself. i think it's really the only way i can accurately portray my horror at the whole situation:
HELO HOW ARE YOU ^_^ YOU ARE THE INTERESTING MAN LETS MEET KEKEKEKEKEKEKE
his hobbies currently include IMing me every few minutes to ask me if i'm single and vaguely trying to get me to agree to meet him.
