well. I know that farther applies to physical distance and further to advancement toward a greater degree, but what if the road is more of a metaphysical "road"? Such as... the road of my life?

oh boy, that would just make this post intolerable. no more of that emo BS. ok, moving on. (but maybe I still like the philosophical question... ...as a tool of manipulation... lol.)

TODAY ONLY: Instead of conversations, emails from the Frat mailing list.
...specifically pertaining to the one that I just dictated to Kyle.

 

They are the shirts under the sink.  If any active wants them right now, they can have them.  If not, I’ll give them to my favorite pledges.

Just a note:

 

Caleb P. Courage has quadrupled the number of ADEL shirts he owns in “a series of … ONE DAY.”

 

And he’s wearing three of  them RIGHT NOW.

 

And he sure did come too. That last email was not a lie.

crap, I just realized that my little sister reads my blog. oh well.

more nonsequitur:
If you didn't catch that ULTRAMAN in Ketler Rec, the SAC, or the Lie-Berry, you missed out. I just ULTRA happened to be there when that mysterious character saved the ULTRA day in all three locations. It was vlassic. Look for much more of him during Pledge/Greek Unity Week 2006.

speaking of which:
turns out I'm the new GUY coordinator / Pledge Master for next semester's rushes... mmmmmmmmmm...sounds like me and Greg Kroleski (Assistant Pledge Master) are going to be having fun.

it's nice to be in the land of the living again:
oh man, I was really sick. I was totally out of commission with some kind of stomach flu from Saturday night until Wednesday morning. on Monday I woke up--to take a final (yuck) I had my first meal in almost a week at Wednesday dinner, and when I was in the drink line somebody *AHEM* (Amy Martin) poked me in the ribs. oh, that felt great. anyways, I'm almost all healthy now. At least I'm hungry. now I'm just ridiculously behind on papers that were due a couple of days ago. Yay for finals week starting today!!!! OH FUN! lol.

on the way home from dinner

Rog: ...well, there are only two things that make sense in this world.
me: Death and taxes!! ok, maybe just taxes.
Will: and Communism!!
Rog: oh no... *sigh* ... boys, I see I have so much work to do.

some of this one may or may not be recreated, because I closed the Instant Messenger window before I copy/pasted it all...

gstreet4life: bizerkel?
bizerkel: gstreet?
gstreet4life: are you in your room?
bizerkel: yep
gstreet4life: we're basically sitting right next to each other
gstreet4life: I'm in Neuch's room
bizerkel: I can hear you
gstreet4life: Allan says come over
gstreet4life: we're having a serious study session
bizerkel: ok
bizerkel: i'm about to have a serious sleeping session
gstreet4life: YOU SUCK!

after a few minutes, Joel hasn't showed up. Allan starts tapping on the wall, and I lean into the heating register.

me (audibly): Joooooooooellllllllll come oooOOOOOooovvvverrrrrr
bizerkel (on IM again): ok, ok
bizerkel: hold on a sec
gstreet4life: lol

for the record, he showed up after about 15 minutes. originally I had written, "for the record, he never showed up, at least not while I was awake." But since he's sitting on the couch beside me now, I feel obligated to change the statement.

and just now:

Noel: I'm going to get on my bed like THIS!!! WUUAGGHH!
me: um, good job?
Noel: Hey! It's difficult for me.
me: Yeah, you know, you don't work out much.
Noel: slash at all
me: ...
Noel: I was in remedial swimming, thank you very much.
me: ...
Noel: Do you remember FitWell?
me: umm, yeah?
Noel: I hated that.

Welcome to Life
except, for some reason "welcome" periodically appears to be German (but certainly not everytime), and I see it all in a Old English script, black, small letters, on a white back ground, centered. Then I realize it is only the title page of a screenplay and my view quickly zooms out to take in an entire universe--only right here, in the pages of a terse but flowing script. Apparently most of the characters have ad-lib parts, except for the ones who consistently appear as deliberately unfunny and (sadly) predetermined. Most everything else is chaotic.

And still, to me, the particularly funny part is that I usually just end up wondering why "welcomen" is German and not English. it's probably really the most intruiging part of the whole script.

well, tonight we voted in a new exec of the Adelphikos Fraternity, and I must say I'm sad to leave the VP seat. I am glad to know, though that it is in the competent hands of my protege, Roger Haas. Likewise, the rest of Exec is also under good management. Congratulate James Dudt (Pres), Roger Haas (VP), Danny MacFarlane (Treasurer), Eric D'Epangier (Secretary), and Will Keller (Chaplain). These are men for which I have the utmost respect, and I expect great things out of them.
