Tripp and I wanted to be lumberjacks so we took axes into a meadow and chopped down a twelve-foot evergreen.

CANTO II - Hys Fyve Rules

“My First - but don’t suppose,” he said,
“I’m setting you a riddle -
Is - if your Victim be in bed,
Don’t touch the curtains at his head,
But take them in the middle,

“And wave them slowly in and out,

  Eric spilled a beer on his computer and ruined it.  It cost a lot more than mine.  The party Saturday was crazy.  Once again, the whole place was packed and there were girls making out with each other.  There was this guy in a toga who looked and acted like John Belushi in Animal House.  I got four hours of sleep last night and woke up to take a ( Read more... )

DURING the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through ( Read more... )

Friday, October 29th -
    John, Aaron, and I went to Covington just for the hell of it.  On the way there, I told John to keep speeding through Fincastle.  He got pulled over for going 61 in a 45 and they searched the car.  John and Aaron were amazed at Westvaco.  That night, I jumped out of Tripp's car to steal a "For Sale" sign and move it to ( Read more... )

  There's something about hot cocoa in a glass instead of a mug that makes you realize you're not at home, and something about chicken noodle soup that makes that alright.

It's 9 o'clock on a friday evening.
Taking a bath you hear the doorbell ringing.
There's no one there.  O, Where did they go?
There's someone sneaking in the bedroom window...

  Today, I began my transition of wardrobe.  I bought clothes at Hollister for the first time.  I also bought new speakers for my laptop.  I wrote a nine-page essay in about three hours yesterday.  I now understand why my updates are so boring.  It is because I only update when I am really bored, and usually I have forgotten everything funny or ( Read more... )

  Aaron sat on my violin bow and broke it.  He also ruined my Donne book.

WE went tiptoeing along a path amongst the trees back towards the end of the widow's garden, stooping down so as the branches wouldn't scrape our heads. When we was passing by the kitchen I fell over a root and made a noise.  We scrouched down and laid still.  Miss Watson's ( Read more... )

  Some girl just prank called me saying she wanted sex.  It made me laugh.  She got my number from Holly Howard, which is odd since I haven't talked to that girl for a long time.
  I have eaten dinner twice tonight and I think I am about to eat again.  We got a new dry-erase board.  The other got too haggard.

  Tonight was officially the craziest night I have experienced since I got to Virgina Tech.  It started out with riding in the Cavalier to Roanoke where we went to the mall then downtown.  We spent the next few hours riding and walking around downtown Blacksburg, crashing random parties.  There were some drunk girls on the side of the road who ( Read more... )

  Today, I talked to Bob Saget after his show and got his autograph.  I also got Mark Curry's autograph.  Now, I can officially say I was "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper."  I gave him my pen.
