In case you've been concerned about me..

Parents, loved ones, people who read this and think they fall under the category of my "loved ones," friends in close and distant places, friends I want to be further away from, and the general blogatory creepers (myself definitely not excluded),

In case you have been concerned about my living situation here in this beautiful heap of dung known as Worcester, Massachusetts, here is an email I received today from the dean of students at Clark that should help put some of your worries at bay:

I have been informed that the water issue from earlier today is now fine. The brown rust that came through has gone away and it's safe to drink the water again.

Well, it is nice that I just now received that email after being at classes all day, regretting not noticing the earlier poison-death water email that apparently came through. Whats perhaps even more disconcerting than receiving an email like this is receiving an email like this only after you have successfully completed teeth brushing, face washing, and several water-drinking excursions. Now that it's brought to my attention, this morning my toothpaste did taste strangely like old pennies. Besides this, apparently the water I had been utilizing/consuming was apparently very noticeably discolored which only encourages me to get more sleep at night so as to avoid future confusion between normally clear and infectious brown liquids. Also, related to not getting enough sleep- the other night(morning?) I reached new lows (even for me!) when... I.... .... ..


slept-facebook-checked! I know! It's embarrassing and I don't know how it happened, but apparently I read TWO messages that I thought were just dreams but later (maybe 15 hours later) realized that they in fact were reality and that I just didn't consciously sign myself onto facebook. How embarrassing! I'd rather be that friend of mine that once peed under the Christmas tree while dreaming she was in the bathroom than be the girl who checks facebook in her sleep. Something has got to be done.


On an unrelated note, I hope everyone had a lovely Purim or Easter or just regular Sunday. I received my lovely Easter basket in the mail and am now enjoying some delicious gummy bears. I almost exclusively like the red and clear ones, which I like to eat back to back, together, only after I have chewed/bit/gnawed off their ears, eyes, faces, arms and legs.

WAIT! I just realized that sometimes I get the clear and the yellowish/dirty one's mixed up! No WONDER the Worcester dirty pond water fooled me...

NOT AGAIN!!!

You guys will never believe what just happened to me... well, maybe you will because I'm writing about it and it's really not that insane and as far as I'm aware I haven't given most of you reason not to trust me... but STILL!

So, here I am, minding my own business, skipping down the path to the UC to collect my EASTER PACKAGE (ahem. sorry) and who do I run into again but Fritz, one of my favorite campus walked K-9's and his seemingly European human companion. Quickly thinking back to my last encounter with this pair, I was very proud of myself when I remembered to act cool so like the Who I won't be fooled again. (I included that lyric despite the grammatic error of using the wrong verb tenses and switching presences.) Fritz runs over to me, as per usual, and I proceed to pet him. But THIS TIME when his owner approached me, I quickly and confidently said, "oh! he's so cute, what's his name?" Good one, Juliet. Way to be composed, cool, and not a pet-name memorizing freak at all. To which Fritz's owner hesitantly (perhaps worriedly) replies, "Fritz... but I thought you knew that, haven't we met before?" FOILED! I didn't know what to say!! I was completely caught of guard and since acting cool is something new for me, I didn't know how to cool my way out of this!!

Completely mortified, I said the most embarrassing thing to ever leave my mouth. " [giggle] yeah.. G2G!!!" AHH!! I was so nervous that I LITERALLY said "G- 2- G." I mean, yeah, I'm weird sometimes, but I've never been that girl! That girl that replaces her emoticons with faces like these ^-^, incessantly types lol after every online statement, and adds colons to demonstrate what action they are performing while communicating over instant messenger (::shakes head in shame::). To take it one step further and actually proclaim an internet/texting shortcut outloud to a man who already thinks I should be institutionalized!? It was so horrible that I just left my research meeting to come downstairs and type this up in the computer lab really quick.

I just hope that Fritz is still allowed to hang out with me. Next time, I WILL be prepared to play it cool and Fritz's owner will be impressed. Mark my words, but for now- g2g.

More Excuses

In the next few days I have to:

-storyboard, shoot, log and capture, and edit a 4 minute film
-comprise a 12 source annotated bibliography for a study I have not yet designed
-design study
-learn and then study logic for a test
-figure out my summer plans included location, internships, jobs, money
-fit in cuddle time with bleeks

BUT I WILL BLOG

Mittens on Kittens!

Bleeker?! Spitzer?! St. Patty's Day?! Spring break parts one and two?!

SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED AND YET I HAVE NOT BLOGGED!! ( I just held down the shift key for all of those individual letters and it was significantly more difficult than just using the caps key!)

Clearly, I am off my rocker.

To my defense, my laptop bit the big one about 3 weeks ago leaving me friendless, fruitless, alone and hopeless. Luckily, my friends and the fruits of my labor combined together to provide hope. After some tears of frustration, pullings of hard drives, borrowing of laptops, and pathetic pleas, father shed some light on this forgotten shepherd and bought me a sheep! The sheep is now grazing, and I am beginning to remember how to point my curved little stick, tickle my beard and walk around in an open field. (Seriously, what do shepherds even do?) In short, I have decided this blog has been neglected for too long and I am now making it my mission to update more often. This most certainly correlates to an overall decrease in entertainment per blog, but will hopefully encourage me to write a little more and eat /watch tv / fiddle / prod /waste/chud a little less.

This all, of course, is starting tomorrow....

I am truly sorry for the many blogless nights, but for now- top o' the morning to you! Enjoy this St. Patrick's day that was officially moved from tomorrow to yesterday at the swift gesture of the Pope's hand. Don't mess.
