Freshman @ MindSay

...was pretty darn good.  Good weekend, overall.

Highlights: 

- NY Cares Day.  Met up with a bunch of people at 830 in the morning on Saturday and we traveled to a public school in Brooklyn where we pained a giant black fence, re-did the lines/numbers on the playground, played a SICK game of Red Rover/Blob Tag, and then painted a very long fence completely yellow.  I thought that was foolish, but they asked us to, and we did. Pretty fantastic.  Met some really great, fun people:  Lara, PANTHER (you can call him Patrick), Ramie, Nina... 

- When we were signing IN to NYCD, I was talking to James, our IRHC rep/Community Service dude, and we were discussing how my residence hall really needs judges for the IRHC Talent Show.  So he said, "I'm probably available" and I quipped, "Cool.  Well, if you cant' come, why don't you send the kid I don't like?".  To give back story, there's this boy named Brian who is the VP of IRHC (inter-residence hall council) at NYU.  At the first meeting, when there was confusion about my role, Brian came over and was like 'no, you're wrong.  you need to show up every time and do this, this, and this, or you're going to be in bad-standing'.  Not even, 'Hi, I'm Brian, and no you're wrong bah bah bah'.  Just the mean bitchy part.  So I'm not a fan of Brian.
Anywhoo, James goes, "Who don't you like?" and I said "the VP".
And James says, "Oh, you mean MY BROTHER?"
Not just brother.  His (fraternal) twin brother, apparently.  Good times.  Oh well.  It's not even the worst faux pas I've ever done.  But it WAS a nice source of entertainment.  (I'm thinking at this moment of, "my mom's name is ellen!" even though that's not terrrrible).

- Saturday night, I decided to go to Felix's birthday party at Boss Tweed's.  I figured he was friends with my old roommates, and he was also friends w/ my freshman year floormates, so I had a chance to not only see Felix, but to also see other amazing people.
I ended up getting to see J.D., Eric (Ellen's ex-boyfriend, but sadly, not Ellen b/c it was Derrick's party somewhere), some of their HS friends who were HILARIOUS, and then from the freshman year crowd, Darren, Steve, Joe, Suzi, and Betty...who is going to ANTARCTICA FOR A YEAR.  wowowowowwow.
- The guys I didn't really know were playing beer pong for a while, and then suddenly EVERYONE I was with was like, freaking out, or whispering excitedly to one another.  So my first thought is 'hot chick', and then when Steve was grabbing Darren's arm and making him lean in close, I thought 'hot Asian chick'.  No.  I wouldn't know him from a whole in the wall, but
The Kid from The Sopranos
apparently was what all the fuss was about.  And it got to be an even bigger deal when he decided he wanted to play beer pong with a girl.  I think he inadvertently made these ex-Stuy guys' lives.  Especially when they beat him in 'overtime'.  What is that?

- Sunday, the grad students had a picnic in Central Park.  We didn't go too deeply in as planned, but still fun.  I was on the sack-race team that won (Damian and Tati!! WOo!), and we played a fake version of Steal the Bacon, played some BIG BOOTY, and this fun game where we all had to do a move and then add one of our own.  I think there were EASILY 30 moves before we got down to only one kid left (hey, his name was Felix, too! But not my Felix).

I can't really complain.  Well, I can complain about this paper I'm NOT writing right now, but I can't complain about my weekend.  Coming up this weekend is BON JOVI in concert, a sleep over with Erica, MAYBE going to Julie and Jonathan's Halloween party, and then going to LI to see Lisa and then TO AMY'S house for a party.  Oh wow.  I'm excited to see Amy.  I have to miss both Roaine and Val's parties, but I haven't seen Amy in...more than a year?

Well, I'm Kristin. I'm in love with a wonderful man named Chris. I am a Leo. It's so obvious that even strangers can tell. Yeah, it's kinda embarassing. I am a freshman Political Science major at Clemson University. My biggest wish is to become a lawyer. I love rock music, it runs my life basically. I have the biggest guitar fettish in the world. I know everything about them, but feel unworthy to even touch one. Therefore, I don't know how to play. Well, i'm hoping to meet new people in different places. So feel free to leave a message, or to add me <3 K10

Here I am in Mr. Bovee's first period science for the last time. Sounds almost morbid. No, I've passed my classes, turned in most of my text books (lost the million year old science book) and am just six hours away from my Freshman year. What have I learned this year?

Ummmm....oh, and I'm in computer apps now.

1. Bus fights are exciting, and kinda scary.
2. The dances are still boring, but you still go and pretend like you're having fun. If you pretend enough, they actually are.
3. When in computer apps, play on ebay after you've finished all of the courses. Otherwise you will die.
4. Leah learned that you shouldn't get behind cuz it sucks.
5. Boyfriends break easily (again, what Leah learned.)
6. Guys are jerks. And all of them are on drugs.
7. There are actually some nice guys that are on drugs.
8. There are actually some nice guys who don't do drugs.

Anyway, that's that. Hallelujah.

I haven't done this in a while.  Just the random musings that come into my head, for your enjoyment.

- I shouldn't have made Lola my desktop background, because I was just looking at it and I started to cry.  I didn't cry when Ace was my picture (they are my two cats who passed away from various cancers a year and a week apart, if you care), even though he was my favorite living thing ever... I was weirded out by that.
- My little three-pound wonder has been dead one year tomorrow.  She was the bi-centennial cat.  I still look for her when I go home.
- I'M GOING HOME NEXT THURSDAY.
- I wonder if I could have survived four years of college living with ANY of my freshman year roommates.  The answer to that is no.  HELLLLLLLLL NO.  I sometimes miss them, like the people they SORT OF became by April, but I haven't REALLY seen or spoken to any of them in at least a year, and I'm pretty okay with that.  That isn't my style at all; I always love everyone...but it was a bad mix of personalities.  In that, they liked talking about fashion and trashing other people, and I wear the same 2 pairs of jeans and 3 sweatshirts EVERYHWERE and don't talk about people.
- I can't stop listening to Elana's stuff online.  www.elanaarian.com.  I can't wait until Saturday when I own her new CD. 
- I can't tell if Brett is flirting with me or not.  I can't tell if Ricardo is flirting with me or not (though I'm pretty sure THAT one is bad if it were true). 
- The fact that Manny and Jill are dating makes me happy.  The fact that they were together for like, MONTHS before I found out makes me sad.
- Tomorrow I think I have to swallow my pride/fear/girlness from 3 years ago and send a message to this boy I used to know/like, to see if his fraternity wants to help volunteer at Relay this year.  I messaged their 'prior' (which I'm going to guess is the president), and he hasn't written back, but this kid is the vice-prior, and maybe he'll remember me (but not bad things!!), and get the word out.
- https://www.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=205624&supId=75619814, if we're speaking about relay.
- My aunt mailed me plastic Easter eggs.  Never mind the fact that I celebrate Passover, not Easter.
- Coffee is NOT designed for me.  I had half a cup freshman year before a midterm, and almost ran around the 300-person lecture hall, and today Dunkin Donuts gave out free ice coffees even though I don't drink coffee and I didn't have even half of it this time and I definitely felt crazier than usual and my mind was moving faster.  I'll just get my caffeine from chocolate, thank you.
- It's somehow 10:38.  What?  WHAT?  Bedtime's in less than an hour.  SPECTACULAR.
- I cannot WAIT 'til Opening Day.  Let's goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

    The frosh at my school are sad and stupid. They rush to the library strait from their last class, get on the computer, and play, of all the games to play, Runescape.

    I played that 5 years ago when I was 11 and stupid. Do yourself a favor: if you play Runescape, stop playing and get Maple Story, Guild Wars, or (if you have the cash) get World of Warcraft. I wouldn't recomend getting WoW because if you lose your character, you are likely to commit suicide. People have done it. News reporters will report it and try their hardest NOT to laugh.

    If all you do is play some MMORPG, I must say something: GET THE FUCK UP OFF YOUR SEAT. Do something else. DON'T PLAY XBOX OR I'LL SLAP YOU SO HARD YOU GET A TUMOR. Go OUTSIDE. Play guitar. Do your HOMEWORK. CLEAN YOUR ROOM (yeah I said it!). Make it seem as if you HAVE a SOCIAL LIFE.

    My guild actually agrees we need to have one. The my game says after 2 hours "PLEASE TAKE A BREAK."

    As to the freshman at my school. You are royal n00bs. You are in HIGH SCHOOL. Runescape is for n00bs that are RETARDED. You want a free game? Get Maple Story. Now get the fuck off the computer so people can do their homework. And don't play the MySpace shit on me either!
