ANOTHER post?? Already?
Two things I guess.
First, I watched the BSG premiere. It was pretty good. I think the coolest thing was when Anders went out in his viper (while freaking out about possible hidden cylon programming) and he did some crazy eye thing to the cylon raider and they all fled. Aannndd...the Starbuck stuff was mildly interesting, I guess. The Baltar stuff kinda made me laugh, I don't know why.
Second, I dug out the old polaroids. I scanned a bunch of them a long time ago but not all. I posted them in a few batches way back when but they're kinda spread about so I'll repost them all here...with some commentary, as always. I'll try to put them in chronological order (as I remember it) but it might not work all the time.
Jeanna in Joan's car. And sadly, I went and found the entry for the day it was taken
Joan driving in a parking garage at Columbia mall. Same day as above.
Nikki, when we helped Joan move in
Carrie, same day. Whenever I see this, I see my old little Nokia, which was brand new at the time. Geez that was a long time ago.
Me, same day. God, I hate this picture.
Ariana's picture for what we put on our suite door. I think one of their friends down the hall had this wig, and so we each wore it for our photo.
Lily's door photo
Joan's door photo.
My door photo. haha skeet skeet. One time some guys doing some scavenger hunt/bingo thing came to the door and before they left, one of them pointed to this picture and was like "is that you?" and I said "uh yeah" and then I felt embarrassed.
Me for our bathroom pictures. Mostly for any guys that used our bathroom (since they'd be the ones facing the wall) but that was pretty rare except for parties.
lol at Lily's face.
Joan's bathroom picture
Lily's bathroom picture. These turned out pretty nice, actually.
Aya sitting on Joan's bed. My original description of this: "The day that Aya came to give us a tutorial on condoms."
lol Obviously Joan learned something from that tutorial.
Held a little party for Jeanna's birthday. This is the cake. "Birthday" wouldn't fit.
Joan's friend, Jessica, who does ballet. I seem to remember after the "party", we saw some news thing about how some kid got run over by a bus or something and Jessica laughed at it. Hahah ( Indeed I was correct)
Encountered Peter, Derek, and Shawn while at Patapsco one day. They came back to Erickson with us and the four of them had very long discussions about high school.
That crazy kid Andrew. He came over one day to study with me. And I found the accompanying entry. The anecdote made me laugh. Just at the end, it sort of spirals out of control rather randomly.
Joan being...Joan. She ripped up an old T-shirt and then drew all over it.
Uhh don't even ask. I don't even know what was going on.
Apparently only had one picture left and so I used it to take this.
OK here's the story: Freshman year, I once saw Walker do this where he flipped up to the top bunk. But of course, I am a weakling and so I just hung there and hurt my hands (hence, my wearing mittens)
For a while, we harrassed Chem Greg about his appearance. One day we took him shopping and on this particular day, Joan did his hair I think.
I believe Lily ordered these boots online and put them on, so I took a picture of it. The writing says "Kawaii desu~", which means "Cute!" in Japanese.
Alex. It still irks me how I wrote MJ (for Michael Jackson). It looks more like "My" to me.
Brittney, same day as the last one.
Kris. I remember on this particular visit, Alex and Kris climbed upto my bed (the top bunk) and then jumped off and I yelled at them (or scolded them) because it was kinda late and I worried about whether the people below us got mad.
Took my camera to Patapsco one day. Stephanie and Asia were out in the lobby studying.
His words, not mine.
Liz Rubin. My original commentary for this says she was really wired after two cups of coffee (we stopped at Coffeehouse) and so to express her crazy energy, I took it upside-down.
There was only one instance of inappropriate touching here - according to my records, before Lily joined the picture, I was placed between Joan and Ariana (instead of on top) and I put my arm over Ariana but my hand fell on her boob.
Had a party in our room one day. Had to get a picture of Liz and this is how it came out.
Same day, me thinks. I couldn't really stand these guys, but maybe it was just because they seemed like douchebags while drinking.
Again, same party. Carla, Maegan, and Kelly stopped by briefly. I'm guessing Carrie went home on this particular weekend. Or she was working.
I think this is the same party but I'm not sure. I'm rather amazed that we hadn't gotten one of her sooner.
And so those are all the ones I've scanned. There are a few more. Here I shall describe them.
- Samarth in our room. From the background, sometime in February or March
- Mary sitting at my computer. I think this may be the day Nikki, Mary, Liz (Rubin I think), and I went to the party at Walker and Frisbee's apartment
- Pullak with a light-saber spoon. I like this one because his ginormous sweatshirt actually kinda looks like a jedi cloak or whatever.
Then a bunch on the last day of school...
- Jackie and Geetha in Erickson courtyard. They also brought a camera and got a picture of me and Jackie (I have that on my computer too)
- RA Patrick behind the desk. He even autographed it.
- Justin Clapp in the Patapsco lobby
- Amir in front of the desk. I think I caught him completely off guard...
- Kurt, Teresa, and Liz together. I think they were going out or had just come back from somewhere.
- Vilgos passing through - haha he looks so young and innocent (no caption)
- A very blurry Rob at the desk (no caption)
- Jess (Borowski) in the lobby (no caption)
(WHOOPS minus Samarth's. Got mixed in with older pile. I'll do it later).
The past couple of days, I've been going through and tagging old entries. It's fun to reminisce but at the same time, it's SUPER exhausting cause I used to write like, 5 entries a day. Now I'm up to Sept 2005 I think and this is when I start to wind down considerably.
OK. Pretty much done now. Bye bye.
