March 3, 2003 - 03 03 03 !!!
time 2:40 pm feeling happy, but hot in this hell hole of a computer lab (oh wait, have I said that before?) reading The Rascals from Haskell's Gym, I won't lie wearing blue sweatshirt, khakis music Supreme Beings of Leisure ready for spring break! next snack time, then GD2, woo hoo hoo
Lexican, Lexbian, Lexifer, Lexcellent, Lex Luther, Lexicon, and now Lexicus. It doesn't get any better than this. Parents, I love you, and I love my name, but it is damn lucky that I am built to handle this sort of harassment; else how would I survive the constant nickname creation?
Or is it my name that created my disposition towards doing weird, curious, ofttimes humiliating things and thus my ability to sustain harassment? There's a question for ya . . .
Anyway. Note that today is a very special day! It is officially 03 03 03 (where's Jacob when you need him to harass you about your numbers obsession?)! In case you didn't know, I love 3s and I have been greatly looking forward to this day, though sadly it doesn't compare at ALL to binary year (alas, I will have to wait til 2010 for another of those). I was informed that many believe today to be the end of the world; interesting. However, I believe that today is my pseudo birthday, my imaginary, polar birthday if you will (I really gotta get back into math one of these days so I can remember the difference); it is the BASIS of my REAL birthday, which as many of you may know is 9/27/81, or 3^2/3^3/3^4, hahaha. So today really is a special day somehow. I'm just waiting for the parade and celebration to memorialize it.
Wow, I can really talk about a lot of crap when I am in no mood to be doing work. Problem is, I haven't been in a mood to do work since last Wednesday, I have lots of work TO do, and I have 10 more days until spring break! Yipes. That's okay, anyone reading this that really knows me knows that I am the anti-crastinator and that I am freakishly addicted to doing work ahead of time and to a nonsensical extent. So somehow that will work out. I hope.
OK let's talk about harassment. HAHAHA you thought you came to a sex lecture didn't you? Didn't you? Well I am here to tell you that you are indeed WRONG. As I am always trying to find paralells and always reexamining things (never enough drama, always enough madeup silliness) I've been thinking about 11th grade a lot. Gosh that sounds young, but I stand by my belief that once one is 17, one is finally reaching the 'adult' age. Anyway, what I'm saying is, the first two years of high school, as well as the first two years of college, besides any boyfriends I had/have, I really didn't talk to guys that often. Surely not because I'm shy or anything, get real, but more because I just hung out with the ladies. Well, 11th grade I started hanging out with Daniel and Danny and then Matt, Ankur, and Sharan. Sadly the only reason they hung out with me is because they thought I was 'cool' (HAH! That's the best misconception I've heard thus far), but whatever, it worked out and I had a good time. They were constant harassers though! OK just to get things straight, they weren't REAL harassers but they liked to make fun and get me riled up. And now it seems that wherever I go, the remaining boys of those five like to give me a hard time (well, Matt knows better than to do that ALL the time these days) and the harassment or 'hair ass meant' as Jacob calls it, continues.
Brings us to today. NOW I am in my third, aka JUNIOR, year of college, and now what? I have talked to more males this semester than I have in the first two years of college (well I mean at THIS school; obviously UW people, I talk to boys there duh). People in class, out of class, wherever. HOWEVER, what happens is that I get HARASSED now! Whereas I did not have this problem when I did NOT talk to boys.
SO once again we are NOT talking about REAL harassment, just people making fun. Anyway I am not trying to say that boys are the root of all evil, not at all, but that there is unfortunately something in me that brings out the worst in them. Or is it the other way around? But it is making school and whatever more fun that the past, and as always the 'harassment' is all in good fun.
Where was I going with that? Crap I have to go to class. I'll finish this in a minute...
Alright, it is now 4:17 so this update is a little disjointed. Deal. Well besides all this blather I had a nice weekend. I did a lot of fun things, which if you're one of my friends you know that sometimes I'm just all work and no play! But this weekend was different. I did a whole lot of cool things.
Friday I had a gymnastics meet, Hamline was kind enough to include us and UW's club team in their dual with Gustavus. First of all, those Gusties are DAMN LOUD, it was pretty annoying. Team spirit is one thing, but...anyway. It was still a fun meet! Beam, eh, wasn't great, but at least I fell only once. And vault, who cares. BUT I did a GREAT floor routine, even though w/ easy tumbling, and STUCK my Arabian and had a great time showing off, and made everything in my bar routine, including the new toe shoot thing, my first time doing it! Scores sucked because they're scored on a much harder code than we are (we're level 9, they're 10; I could NEVER do 10 stuff!) BUT it was the meet that matters. It was a great time and it made me remember why I love gymnastics and love competing.
Then Saturday was fun day all day (til Kinko's). I went to ballet in the morning and had the best class I have had so far, I can't wait to take it (hopefully) this summer. We learned a lot and I was able to catch up easily. Then I had lunch with my cousins, that was a good time, especially with the Jesus doll. Then I watched the American Cup! Yeah for 'live' gymnastics, well sort of. I also got to make cards as I watched so I did not really see too much. All I can say is that i am impressed with the US, Carly, and that I hope to see Ashley Postell on the World and Olympic team, and that Annia kicks ass because she is 24 and STILL doing gymnastics! YEAH.
Haha, Jeff just called me MD Lexi, as in "Thank you MD Lexi." I guess Stacy has mono. That sucks, especially because she is one of my new friends in design. OH WELL hopefully she'll be back soon. We will miss Sunshine Stacy.
OK anyway that's enough of that. After SCAM Cup I went to see 'Old School' with Alyssa, Kristin, and John, then we went to Coldstone. Old School=okay, could have been better. BUT it was definitely fun to be with friends! Coldstone=DELICIOUS. I am glad one is coming to Madison!
Then I had to go to Kinko's to get my hellish project done. BUT it is done, blah. Let's not talk about that. So Sunday, I woke up, went running, read the paper, relaxed etc. I watched the Gophs LOSE to Wisconsin (basketball), but at least they tried. Wisconsin is such a good team right now, and that's not just because I'm from Madison. I am definitely excited for the tournament. Later I saw Chicago again with Diana and Melissa K. Hall, and then we killed Sims. I LOVE 'CHICAGO'! I am so happy I got to see it again. Then church, and then bed. All in all a good weekend with fun times and many different things to do.
Dang, look at how long this update is. LONGEST UPDATE EVER. I am going to retire now and see if I can't sneak out of class early. Ciao.
