&lt;p&gt;SO awesome! I’d roll with Carl Frederickson anyday, whatever his age.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh, do me/you a favor and place a continent between yourself and “The Human Centipede.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please! Yes! That is all.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://gnarlybeluga.tumblr.com/post/6237730070</link><guid>http://gnarlybeluga.tumblr.com/post/6237730070</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Jun 2011 23:18:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Today provided</title><description>&lt;p&gt;two more reasons as to why I love kids.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Always.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The first was walking in to babysit my cousins and being applauded by the infant Luciana Mercedes. A baby looking at YOU and clapping at YOU is quite possibly the greatest thing ever. It fills one with fluffy clouds of happy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The other was going to theatre and being asked by one why I wasn&amp;#8217;t playing Cinderella. Oh my gosh, more like why do you insist upon making my day?! Thanks, kid.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Children really do fulfill that need I have to be crazy and be something else besides me that I probably developed thanks to years of four word skits. In one babysitting session, I can be a monster, a pretend cook, a real cook, a pro dancer/singer, a guest over for tea, a daytime sleepover buddy, a dog, a DINOSAUR (my favorite), a zebra (her favorite), and pretty much the most hilarious person ever. To her, at least.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Speaking of hilarious, the quote of the day is from Nick. He said to me, &amp;#8220;I really, really hate your life.&amp;#8221; And I laughed because it seemed like something a typical sitcom character would totally say. Cue laugh reel! &amp;#8220;bahahahahahahamergeintoapplause.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I must say, though I don&amp;#8217;t agree with him now, I might tomorrow during ANOTHER 8 hour shift. Rawr. This is me documenting that if you come in tomorrow, you just might wind up with pesto cavatappi on your head. Because I am serving and not cashiering for the first time tomorrow. Look out!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At least I haven&amp;#8217;t started a fire yet. Or melted all of the ice cream with my foot. I did give a customer his money back with his change though! My trainer loved that, NAHT. She&amp;#8217;s fun.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve realized that when people are assuring me that I&amp;#8217;m normal is when I feel the most weird. Perhaps because it&amp;#8217;s only when you&amp;#8217;re acting funny do people feel obliged to be all &amp;#8220;oh no honey you fine!&amp;#8221; Yep, I fine. That right.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I really. really. really. really. really miss school.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If I told my past self that, I would tell myself that I was high.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Oh and Tory finally came to LG! She gives me good reason to stay up late. Lots of it. And I&amp;#8217;m a baby, as you know, so it&amp;#8217;s impressive. I&amp;#8217;m truly thankful she did not get swept away by that tornado.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pooh man, it&amp;#8217;s late and I got work at 6. Which is why I had to leave the concert so early, but it was still awesome. No more scribbles from me for now. Gnight!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://gnarlybeluga.tumblr.com/post/6198572384</link><guid>http://gnarlybeluga.tumblr.com/post/6198572384</guid><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jun 2011 22:52:15 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>"I do pencil as little as possible, just enough to get the heights and the space right.

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bert can’t seem to find a pair of puttee-styled socks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yes, this semester rendered me a freak! But only because it was the first time I felt I did well! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve been checking all day despite the fact that they weren&amp;#8217;t supposed to be posted until midnight tonight, and lo! They were posted two hours early!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mixed in with the wonderfulness that stared me in the face was a bathtub of irony. About two months ago, I cowered in the seat across from my advisor as we planned my Fall 2011 schedule together. &lt;em&gt;How could I even think of the future,&lt;/em&gt; I thought, &lt;em&gt;when I&amp;#8217;m drowning in the present that is me failing EVERYTHING??&lt;/em&gt; When all was done, I got the much-obliged &amp;#8220;are there any more questions?&amp;#8221; thing from him of which I usually took care not to take advantage. This time, however, I did.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Uh, just one. I was wondering if I could drop a class.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He stared, then adjusted his spectacles. &amp;#8221;That is a very serious thing to do, especially as we draw nearer to the deadline here. Which in particular?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Electronic Circuits.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The lab too?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Yes.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He flipped through his binder. &amp;#8220;My, that&amp;#8217;s three-plus-one hours you&amp;#8217;re knocking off there. You would be&amp;#8212;&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Under hours, yeah. But, I am willing to take a half-semester, gen-ed class in its place.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Actually, seeing as most of those are two-hours, you would have to take two half-semesters.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I know. I mean, I&amp;#8217;ll need those classes eventually anyway.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He flipped some more, and then leaned back in his chair. &amp;#8220;Well, now. Just how bad is it?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Bad. Really.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Failing?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;No, just&amp;#8212;&amp;#8221; What facts could I tell this guy? That I had not absorbed so much as a drop of the coursework since day one? That I had been brutally copying everything I could get my hands on? That I sat back helplessly and watched as my genius lab partner connected node after node? That I convinced my short-lived boyfriend to give me everything he owned from when he took the course the past semester, even going so far as to scourge his room like an FBI agent&amp;#8217;s animal while he was away? Nope. Better keep it vague. &amp;#8220;I might be soon. I&amp;#8217;m not getting it. Electronics was always a grey area for me.&amp;#8221; There, now I can&amp;#8217;t get arrested.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Well, you have to take the course eventually. Ah, don&amp;#8217;t take it over the summer,&amp;#8221; he added as I opened my mouth to speak. &amp;#8220;You already had a lab-class over last summer, I&amp;#8217;m sure you don&amp;#8217;t want to do that again.&amp;#8221; I hated him for being right. &amp;#8221;Push through for the next two weeks, email me, and keep me updated. If that&amp;#8217;s all, then until next time!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fast forward past panic, vigorous studying, and low self esteem.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Purely for documentation, people. Oh, and also for the fact that I feel awesome.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Electronic Circuits: A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Electronic Circuits Lab: B+&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Intro Differential Equations: B&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introductory Dynamics: A-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introductory Solid Mechanics: A-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;MY FIRST SOLID A IN COLLEGE. EVER. IN THE CLASS I WAS SERIOUSLY GOING TO DROP. IT WAS IN TALKS. And now it&amp;#8217;s an A.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To add to how annoying this all sounds, I would just like to thank me, Harry, ValCandyClaire, and the professor without whom I would not be convinced to NEVER attend lecture due to his unyielding spreading of boredom and incomprehensible Asian accent. Didn&amp;#8217;t attend office hours either. Huh. Don&amp;#8217;t follow me. I studied, man.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh, and the other grades ain&amp;#8217;t so bad either. =] Especially considering that, well, I thought I was gonna fail the last two on the list.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s funny&amp;#8212; DiffyQ, the class I deemed an &amp;#8220;easy A&amp;#8221; at the start of the semester, wound up landing me the lowest grade. On that note&amp;#8230; how on Earth did I wind up getting an A in ECE but a B+ in the ECE lab? I ask you! Life is funny, huh?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I do not care that you think I&amp;#8217;m obnoxious.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is the best semester yet!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://gnarlybeluga.tumblr.com/post/5687393971</link><guid>http://gnarlybeluga.tumblr.com/post/5687393971</guid><pubDate>Fri, 20 May 2011 23:57:00 -0400</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
