"Have you seen the movie Jerry Maguire?"
"Is it about a retarded guy?"
"No. Tom Cruise stars in it."
"So yeah, it's about a retarded guy."

Well done, Andrew.

(A lot of things.)

I have a French test tomorrow, yay. Er, je vais avoir un examen de francais. Bleh.

Le week-end: Friday was great. Minty took me out to dinner again and it was delicious. Then we went to a play that some of our floormates were involved with and it pretty slow-paced, but the acting was great.

Saturday was also nice. Minty's dad took us out to dinner. It was also delicious (or so I thought). His dad is another movie buff, so it was fun talking with him. Minty said it was cute the way we went on about films together, haha.

Sunday was CRAP. I woke up at 6 (after having gone to bed about three hours earlier, at most) feeling like death. Either I got the stomach flu or the Indian spices absolutely destroyed my digestive system. It was horrible. It got better for about two hours Sunday morning, so I was all "yay I'm fine now" and I got up - FALSE. The second I reach the bathroom, I start dry-heaving. Uuugh. So I spent all of Sunday in bed, sleeping occasionally, while Minty wrote a paper at my desk. He brought me food so I didn't have to leave the dorm, too. He's sweet. And just having him right next to me the entire day really did make me feel better. I feel better today, except for the occasional being-stabbed-in-the-stomach cramps. Uuugh. Shoot me.

Today I found out that the schedule I want doesn't work because French 103 is only offered in the morning. Bitch. Oh well, I wanted to take Anthropology of Humor anyway... hopefully I can get in with my crappy lottery number.

Anyway, on to better and more exciting news: Alex and Brett are engaged! I started crying with joy when I read Alex's note. I didn't know I could be that happy for another person. And it's funny I'll be the maid of honor at the first wedding I attend. =P

Okay, no more procrastinating. FRANCAIS.

I'm off to Carleton tomorrow! It seems like most people are going back on Sunday, but that's okay - I'll be there to greet them. Unless they come after 4:45pm, in which case I will be at the freaking LDC. Working. Until 8pm. SHOOT ME.

I had to go out and restock all the essentials today. I also got quite a few things to keep warm - 3 wrist warmer things that pull up over your thumb/fingers, fuzzy pink slippers, girly trapper hat (my mom couldn't resist it), a couple knee-highs, fuzzy socks to wear to bed, and a new scarf that Alex surprised me with! Tricky devil was knitting me a scarf the whole time and I didn't know it, haha. It's a really pretty green. Sometimes I can't believe how nice she is.

Anyway, I'm really excited to see everyone again, a couple of boys in particular... ;) I'm almost excited enough to not be pissed that I have to work Sunday night. Almost. At least I'll be spending Saturday night with one of those boys. Probably playing a computer game, for you wandering minds. You know what, I don't have to justify my life!

Ugh I should probably go start packing again. I hate packing. And I don't even have to fly, ha!

As usual, I should be reading. But I have two more Danny quotes to amuse the public with.

Alek: Why are you so ugly?
Danny: Because my face is a mirror.

Alek: I'm taking my pants off - don't look.
Danny: Let me get my camera.
Alek: Why, are you making a porno?
Danny: No, I'm making a documentary for animal planet.

He's so funny. He and Alek should have their own sitcom. And keep in mind that English isn't even Danny's first language. That's impressive.

Okay, so I have a funny story. There is this guy from China on our floor (well, there are three of them, but that's besides the point). His name is Danni. At one point, I asked Danni how long he had been in America, and he said that he's only been at Carleton. I asked because I was concerned about the lens through which he would be seeing America for the first time: his roommate Alek. Poor Danni is going to be pretty screwed up when he gets out into the real world.

Anyway, the point is that Danni is unfamiliar with American culture and Alek likes to try to explain things to him. This was our conversation at dinner last night (we hadn't seen Jon, who is Ryan's roommate, all day):

Ryan: The last time I saw Jon, he was in his fort with a girl.
Everyone: Oooooooh!
Alek: If you get sexiled tonight, you can come stay in our room.
Kayla: Or you could stay in ours. I have blankets.
Erika: I have a sleeping bag!
Ryan: But who has the best snacks?
etc. etc.
Alek: Danni, do you know what "sexiled" means?
Danny: No.
Alek: Okay. It's when your roommate brings back a 'partner' and they want to get 'intimate' with each other, and you have to leave the room because you don't want to see that. Get it?
Danny: Yeah.

Sometime later that night (Danni and Alek are in their room):

Danny: If you leave the room and I lock you out, you will be sexed out.
Alek: ... Um, no.

LOL.

Another great Danni quote:

Danny: I want to go to Target to get a water heater.
Alek: What else will you get?
Danny: I don't know. Maybe I will be attracted to other things while I am there.
Alek: ...
Danny: It's called consumerism.

These journals of mine just might have given me a great idea for a college essay...


Conversation at dinner:

Mom: Both of you (me and my little brother) went below $25 on your lunch accounts, but Grant (brother) went below a day earlier.
Dad: [to me] Stop eating so much.
Me: Why should I stop eating so much, Grant's the one who got low on his lunch account first...
Grant: Well at least I don't complain about not having sour cream or whatever constantly.
Me: ... What? When do I complain about not having sour cream??
Dad: You complain about it like all the time.
Me: That's the most obscure-
Grant: You always... it's all you-
Dad: All you ever do is complain about how you don't have sour cream. All the time.

So apparently I have an obsession with sour cream that I didn't even know about.
