sunrays and saturdays

I just saw Knapp and Storms go down live online. Seeing the implosion made me sadder than I thought it would. I have a lot of great memories in Knapp from my freshman year. I lived in Elm, but a bunch of my friends lived out in Towers and threw the greatest parties. Good times, good times. It'll be weird driving home and only seeing two towers left on the Ames skyline. They were the first things I noticed about Ames when I visited Iowa State for the first time.

There is a HUGE ass party going on downstairs. In fact, I think that it involves two or three apartments (this is just a six apartment building). The building keeps shaking everytime someone slams a door or whatever the fuck else they're doing. There are a LOT of people walking up and down the streets, and a large number of them are walking up to our front entrance. I might have trouble sleeping tonight. :/

In my geology class this morning:

Person 1 (big ass football player freshman) walks in the door.
Person 2 says "Hey, did you get tear-gassed?"
Person 1 laughs and says "Yeah."
Person 2 says "Awesome."

So basically the attitude I've seen on campus is that the rioters were cool, and the cops were automatonic thugs. I still maintain that anyone involved in the riot was a fucking drunk moron. Anyone not involved in the riot and still got pepper sprayed, tear gassed, or beaten probably had a choice in whether they were there or not.

I guess this is further enforced by the fact that maybe two stories in the entire Iowa State Daily today was about something other than VEISHEA or the riot.

I'm actually going out tonight! I has been far too long since the last time I went out on a Friday or Saturday night. I dearly hope I'll enjoy myself.

On that note, Happy Halloween!!!

Kayla, I got your pictures!!! That kitty is so damn cute, and I know what you mean now about Galen tearing his truck apart. Damn.

I may have to send ya some pics when I get this next roll developed.

The big Iowa vs. Iowa State game is tomorrow. Wish the home team luck, and pray no one dies from their drunken stupidity!

Oh maaaan, do I have a story to tell you guys. I got home last night around midnight and went to bed around 1. At about 3:30 a.m., my roommate's cell went off. She answered it, and it was a friend of hers wanting to know if her boyfriend could stay the night in our dorm room, because he was really flat ass drunk and had nowhere to go. Amy said yeah, sure, and went and picked him up. He passed out on the futon within seconds, so we crawled our tired asses up to bed and went back to sleep. At about 5:30 a.m., we were both awakened by the sound of running water. We both sat up and looked to see where it was coming from. The bastard was standing up right in the middle of our fucking room PISSING ON THE CARPET. Amy was screaming at him to stop, but he just kept on pissing! Finally, she ushered him outside to piss since this is a girls dorm. We were sitting there bewildered for a minute because we couldn't believe what has just happened. He came back in and went right back to sleep! So, we went from bewildered staring at the carpet to amazed staring at him. We got out some dish soap and water and Amy started scrubbing the carpet. After that we sprayed Febreze on the spot and stuck a fan there to help dry it. We don't think he remembers doing it.

You wanna know the kicker? Somebody is coming by here TODAY to buy this carpet from us!

!!!!!

Well, the day is officially here. It is Valentine's Day, and I still intend to hold to my promise. I will kiss a guy today. I'm going to a party tonight, so it will probably be a hell of a lot easier to get done with both people concerned being drunk. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it'll be the one that I have tiny crush on. Wish me luck!

Of all the days, mother nature has picked TODAY to turn Iowa into the fucking Icecapades. All the sidewalks, grass, trees, etc are covered in black ice. It's only pure luck that I haven't fallen on my face yet. I can't believe that people are riding their bikes today. That's really fucking dangerous for the people walking around them. I've heard of one that has wiped out already.
