I've been reading Chuck Palahniuk a lot lately--enough to remember how to spell Palahniuk without looking it up.  I think it's Amanda Crawfords fault.

My computer self-destructed last night.  The AC adapter port finally wiggled itself out of commission.  I have never owned a computer that didn't malfunction on a regular basis.

Once, our old ( Read more... )

  I'm out of money on my card, so now I'm eating noodles.  Tripp, Paul, and Justin Tenpenny stayed Saturday night.  We met PR at some show at Squire's and then failed at finding a party in Radford that night.  We went to Josh Howard's house in the end.

Wait for...  everything evil in you comes out.  I'll stay when we'll only motivate sound ( Read more... )

To sum up and ramble:
      A bunch of Covington kids came down off the mountain
        to VT for a party, and a party they had.  They got in a huge brawl
          with the frat boys.  I went on a cruise to the Bahamas.  Now I am poor, but traveled.
             I blew up the other Orion.  It seems there will be no television-watching in 5099 for the ( Read more... )

   So, for some reason, Virginia Tech decided last night that they needed the loudest street sweeper in the world to run a continuous patrol up and down the street in front of my dorm.  They also decided that the middle of February is a great time to go outside with a half-dozen leaf blowers and blow leaves around the field beside my window.

It is Valentine's Day.  Maria got me a shirt and a coat.  I haven't had a coat since 8th grade since I always wear hoodies.

Now let us turn again to January,
That in the garden with his faire May
Singeth well merrier than the popinjay:*                                        *parrot

  J.J. and I rolled out at about 8:30, and went to Pritchard Hall, where we proceeded to meet about 10 people at the pre-party.  Some crazy dudes were bonging beer after beer, then we headed out.  We came up to Burress where there were about 200 people waiting on the bus to the same place.  We manaaged to fit everyone on the thing and were on our ( Read more... )

I don't think I've ever gotten any usable advice out of a quote.  They usually just sound important because the guy who wrote them spent most of his time making them sound like quotes.  Why do people write them up everywhere?

J.J. traded me a can of spaghetti with meatballs for half a box of cheese crackers.  I didn't have a bowl, so I tried to microwave them in the can,  even though I knew what happens when you microwave metal.  The microwave started to make a lot of zapping noises, and the TV which was sitting on top of it started to flicker.  After a few minutes the ( Read more... )

  "George W. can suck my tasty, chocolatey, sugary balls." -Darryl

But the bow was lost upon Bruno, who had run out of the room, even
while the great feat of The Unpronounceable Monosyllable was being
triumphantly performed.

  Phil showed up at my door around 7.  Phil is the guy who woke up in our room a few months ago after a frat party.  We played guitars and waited on Darryl until 11, when we decided he was taking too long and left for a party without him.  Our plan was to go to the bus stop and follow a big crowd of people to a party.  We saw some people standing ( Read more... )
