Eccentric – Welcome back! I don’t think anyone’s going to judge you for keeping busy in REAL LIFE

R_D – All FMB is is a smaller, less strictly moderated community of, generally speaking, older members or former members of MuseBlog. There are no requirements for joining or anything, if you enjoy the place you’ll probably mesh well. It tends to be quite a bit slower paced than MB, and adult-oriented topics/words are permitted.

Fortune Cell – Thanks! Turns out I’m about to be traveling without internet for awhile, so I’m probably about to go inactive again, but I’ll be back by mid-July.

so I just got a new menstrual cup and it worked wonderfully for about a day and a night and I was so excited because it seems nicer from a design perspective than my old one, and I can’t use the old one anymore with the IUD because it’s too hard to take out and too slippery but I’ve been very careful with this one and it should be fine
and today I’m like, yeah, this is so great, I am going to wear light colored shorts just because I can

GUESS WHAT HAPPENS.
D: D: D:
- 12. Fiddler | June 19, 2011 at 5:02 pm
  
  Awwwww D: *sympathy vibes*
  Out of curiosity, what kind did you get? I use a DivaCup and absolutely love it.
  - 13. Dodecahedron | June 19, 2011 at 7:01 pm
    
    My old one is a green LadyCup and it served me well for several years, except for during the fencing season when I was moving my body in too weird ways for it to really work. My new one is a black Fleurcup and even though I had to order it from France I think it was worth it. I’ve heard mixed things about DivaCups on the menstrual-cups livejournal, so I didn’t get one, but I’m glad you like yours!
    - 14. Fortune Cell | June 20, 2011 at 7:28 am
      
      I didn’t do too much research before I got mine, and I got a divacup. I’ve used it once or twice…I have trouble fitting in. But, tbh, I’m pretty small, naturally. Now that I’m off my BC I might try it again.
      - 15. Fiddler | June 20, 2011 at 12:39 pm
        
        There are two sizes of DivaCups; size 1 is for women under 30 who’ve never given birth vaginally, size 2 is for women who are over 30 or have given birth vaginally. Is it possible that you got the wrong size? In any case, sorry it doesn’t work for you.
        “…I’m pretty small, naturally.” How would you be small unnaturally? On second thought, don’t answer that, I don’t want to know.
        
        16. Fortune Cell | June 20, 2011 at 2:19 pm
        
        I’m aware of the two sizes, I got the right size. I’ll give it another shot next cycle, I guess.
        
        17. Dodecahedron | June 21, 2011 at 9:47 am
        
        For if and when you do try, here are some pictures of different folds you can use with a DivaCup. (I think I might have sent this to you before, actually, but it’s a good reference anyway) I think the origami fold and 7 fold are promising for you, although I use the punch-down fold because it works for me just fine.
        
        18. Fortune Cell | June 21, 2011 at 12:48 pm
        
        Will do! I haven’t tried it since, gosh, last august or something. And getting off birth control + regular sex means = it should fit better now.
19. Ebeth | June 25, 2011 at 10:11 pm

so seriously who the fuck doesn’t have at least one emergency condom lying around

like SERIOUSLY

also you know what sucks? having to come home to sleep and pretend the bf and i haven’t been essentially living together for the past month and that we aren’t going to basically live together as soon as we move back to campus. also i have a CURFEW. what the fuuuck. but i’m only here for like two more months (total. like, forever. excluding maybe occasional visits when i want food. but like, it is my choice then so if i wanted i could just never stay home again oh god what a fantastic concept) so it’s not even worth fighting about.
20. Fortune Cell | June 26, 2011 at 6:06 am

Christ, I remember when I was home for a break in high school one time, and I was spending the evening with my friend Chance. She tells HIM, not me, that I have to be home at 9. He tells me this at, like, 7:00 or something so I call her up “uhhh mom my curfew at STRICT BOARDING SCHOOL is 11 pm wtf”. Ebeth, YOU WILL SURVIVE.

        Is there an appropriate thread (Books or similar) where we can post our keysmashy, spoilerful reactions?

-derping around, checking emails, doing life-
-someone comes in without fucking knocking like a fucking human-
“Why aren’t you in the shower yet?”
“You just got out it was physically impossible for me to get up and around all the suitcases in that amount of time.”
“Well are you getting in the shower yet?”
“Yeah just taking care of life…”
-forget what I was doing-
…
-remember!-
SOMEONE COMES IN AGAIN.
- 34. Mel | July 3, 2011 at 1:45 am
  
  -take shower-
  -yelling is heard-
  -silence, finally-
  -get out of shower-
  -they are gone there is no key no food I am stuck here-
  
  I am probably the only person to think this is funny. Sooooo not going to hear the end of this.
  
  Honestly, I’m really kinda depressed that I don’t have cause to, like, call Die Austrian Domestisch Services or something.
  
  That and they could at least admit that they’re exaggerating the time line. I’ve been sending emails this whole time, I have timestamps. Herp derp.

50. Fiddler | July 30, 2011 at 2:03 pm

Blogger is weird. I updated my profile on there not too long ago and discovered their “random question” thing. Some of them really make me wonder. Like this one: “For your birthday, your aunt gave you a maple syrup dispenser shaped like a rooster. Please write her a thank-you note:”
My answer (that I am not publishing as part of my profile, but is still something I feel the need to share):
“Dear Auntie,
Thank you for your thoughtful gift. Maple syrup and cocks are two of my favorite things ever, and having them together is great.
Love,
Your Niece”

I mean really, is there any other response to such a thing?
51. muselover | August 4, 2011 at 7:40 pm

Just spent the day at my friend’s house trolling Omegle. You know the drill: say you’re a girl, offer pics, then rickroll ‘em. Some responses are pretty epic.

Also, has anyone else watched The King’s Unreasonable Demands?

I’M GOING TO BE A PIRATE ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

Boyfriend is coming, too.
And his parents, apparently. And they (his parents) are dressing up.
THIS IS GOING TO BE SO INTERESTING.
And by interesting I mean hilarious and probably a little awkward. BUT IT’S ALL GOOD.

63. Fiddler | August 11, 2011 at 6:50 pm

STAY STRONG, MY DEAREST WIFE.
THE BLOOD WILL GO AWAY SOON AND THEN YOU WILL BE ABLE TO EAT SOLID FOODS AGAIN. BUT FOR NOW ENJOY THE ICE CREAM.
WHEN I WAS ALL DRUGGY I KEPT FAINTING. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COOL, BUT WAKING UP WITH NO MEMORY OF HOW YOU GOT ON THE FLOOR GETS OLD AFTER AWHILE.

ANYWAY, I AM THINKING OF YOU AND SENDING LOVE-VIBES AND SINGING SHANTIES FOR YOU ACROSS THE MILES.

70. Fiddler | August 12, 2011 at 6:13 pm

as far as infectious things go, axa is not a bad thing to catch. she is not a bad thing to catch at all. in fact, she’s a good infectious thing. ♥

ALSO BOYFRIEND IS HERE AND IT IS AWESOME AND HE IS GOING TO GET HISTORICAL CLOTHES SO HE CAN COME TO EVENTS.
(Oh god, Boyfriend in 18th century clothes. I DON’T KNOW IF I WILL BE ABLE TO CONTAIN MYSELF, WISH ME LUCK, FRIENDS.)

75. Fiddler | August 14, 2011 at 4:04 pm

Glargblargfuck.
This probably belongs elsewhere, but I don’t know where, so it’s going here.
Got home, things going alright, then I stupidly blurted out the truth that Pip and I shared a bed this weekend. Also that we were sharing the whole dam room with other people, so obviously nothing was going to happen. But this is a HUGE DEAL to Mom.
*sigh*

Two more days then school.
- 76. axa | August 14, 2011 at 6:43 pm
  
  urgh, i’m sorry you have to deal with that. my mom has def subscribed to the “THERE ARE BOYS THERE? YOU WILL GET PREGNANT….AND DIE” idea in the past. hopefully she will not dwell on it? D: *hugs*
  
  and yay for almost college! pack all the things!
77. Eccentric | August 17, 2011 at 12:23 pm

Whoo, finally back. Only a month after I said I would be. Blame it on the addictiveness of Dr Who…I started watching when I got back from the UK and ended up devoting most of my internet time to it. Finally caught up with the new series (haven’t tackled the originals yet).

Four more days ’til back to college and I haven’t packed a thing. Yay procrastination.
78. Fiddler | August 17, 2011 at 6:39 pm

GUYS I AM AT COLLEGE.
I REGISTER FOR CLASSES TOMORROW. I AM UNPREPARED FOR THIS.
BUT MY ROOM HAS AN AWESOME VIEW, SO IT’S ALL GOOD. AND I GOT LOTS OF COMPLEMENTS ON MY OVERALLS AND READS TODAY. AND MY ID IS NOT TERRIBLE. SO I AM CONSIDERING TODAY A SUCCESS.

ALSO WE HAVE CO-ED BATHROOMS HERE. LOLWHUT.

FORTUNATELY I HAVE WIFI IN MY ROOM BECAUSE I AM NEAR THE COMMON ROOM. SO I DON’T NEED AN ETHERNET CABLE. THAT IS GOOD.

I DON’T THINK I FORGOT ANYTHING. OR THAT I BROUGHT TOO MUCH STUFF. EXCEPT MAYBE SOCKS. I THINK I HAVE TOO MANY SOCKS.
- 79. penguini | August 19, 2011 at 7:10 am

83. Fiddler | August 18, 2011 at 6:37 am

Registering for classes was slightly less traumatic than I thought it would be. I had awesome help making a schedule (in, like, 15 minutes), except I’m sad because I only have 5 classes. Which seems like SO LITTLE.
I was assured that it will seem like a lot BUT STILL.
And I only have four years of this? WHAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

*sob*
- 84. axa | August 18, 2011 at 9:29 am
  
  WAHHH TELL ME ALL YOUR CLASSES
  - 85. Fiddler | August 18, 2011 at 9:41 pm
    
    Okay, so I have Introduction to Anthropology (WHOOOO OXLIN I WILL BE THINKING OF YOU!), then Music Cultures of the World (which fortunately will count towards a traditional music minor, which I want to do), a composition class that is about food. I don’t have the course name handy, but it should be interesting. I have a feeling it’s going to be the hardest class for me because ALL THE WRITING and ALL THE DIFFERENT STYLES. But food is pretty cool, so it should be interesting. And it’s about how food choices affect things and COOL STUFF. That was a lame description. >.<
    Okay, then my first year seminar, which is called "Coming home: live art @ Wilson" and it's about exploring feeling at home in a new place by doing various art-y things and performance art stuff.
    Then the college choral. Because singing = good.
    So I have 17 credits. And apparently I'm overachieving. BUT I FEEL LIKE I'M NOT AND I AM SO UPSET ABOUT THIS. I'll stop whining to you guys for now though.
    
    ALSO THERE IS A COURSE FOR TRADITIONAL MUSIC THEORY AND IT SOUNDS AMAZING AND I MUST TAKE IT AT SOME POINT.
    I love that there’s a traditional music minor. It’s SO AWESOME.
    - 86. Ebeth | August 29, 2011 at 10:11 pm
      
      17, overachieving, lol, tell them to suck it
      
      though your credit system is probably different from mine. 17 is pretty much normal for us…i think the limit to be a full-time student is 12, i’ve taken as many as 23 (which wasn’t my brightest idea, gotta say). i think i’ve got 18 or so set up for fall?
      
      either way, tell them to suck it anyway those all sound awesome
- 87. Jadestone | August 18, 2011 at 9:30 am
  
  Yeah that was really weird for me too! BUT. Remember that they are only half as long. You get five whole new classes next semester. So it’s all good.
88. Fiddler | August 21, 2011 at 1:26 pm

I think I’m going to have to get myself some poi.
There’s a firespinning group on campus.
I discovered this last night.
Yesterday (before discovering the fire poi) I had been attempting to figure out the weave with two IDs on lanyards.
FATE.
Today I managed to re-learn the butterfly, and finally got the two and three beat weaves. Yessssssss.
89. axa | August 21, 2011 at 5:58 pm

omg fern all of those classes sound like the Best Things. that first year seminar sounds AMAZING (and perfect for you?!) so tell us all the things about that plz. traditional music minor sounds SOOOOO cool…fsdjhgsd

does anyone else’s college have interesting/unusual-ish majors or minors? we have an art conservation major which i thought about for all of the two seconds it took until i realized it require 9000 science classes. which should have been obvious i know but ANYWAY

i need to start packing!!!T@$YWS
90. Fiddler | August 24, 2011 at 4:34 pm

I GOT MY DRESS FROM MODCLOTH I AM SO EXCITE!
It’s the Happy Travels dress. It’s blue. It has lots of buttons. It’s kind of short. I like it. EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m on the paint crew. It’s not very exciting so far. The first day of work I scraped gunk off of putty knives, and today I scraped paint/rust/gunk off of bike racks and then sanded them with the orbital sander. Doing that for three hours every day isn’t really that fun. Oh well. It’s okay, the only annoying thing is that I’ll be going around covered in paint a lot, assuming I ever get to wield a brush. Looking like a scruff is okay, but sometimes I want to dress up. That’s what evenings and weekends are for though, I suppose.

Classes are going well so far, last night I was reading stuff desperately while waiting for my laundry, and because of tiredness I didn’t read all that was required for today’s class. Thankfully we ended up talking more about other things and, since the book is sold out at the store and not all the people in the class have it to read, we weren’t tested on the stuff I forgot to do. *sigh of relief*
91. Fiddler | August 27, 2011 at 4:05 pm

spent the week camping in the UP with my family and the weekend at finch’s cottage. got burned a bit, battle tubed like crazy, played obscene amounts of mtg, and had my first wakeboarding experience. i got my board up the first time i tried, which apparently never happens. i had extreme difficulties when it came to standing up all the way though. lots of falling in and such

next time we go up there, grinch and i have a standing bet – best 2 of 3 in battle tubing, loser makes the winner a sandwich. if i win it is going to be hilarious

also i am moving in soon or something OH GOD

also being away from computers/internet access for a week broke my addiction. it was terrifying, i got to the cottage and got on finch’s computer and just sort of sat there and realized i didn’t really have anywhere on the intarwebz i felt i needed to go

i think i fixed that with a healthy dose of fb and fmb though. hopefully. i’m gonna prescribe myself some reddit pretty soon, we’ll see how that works

  If neither of those work I can always recommend other webcomics with large archives!
95. Mel | August 31, 2011 at 12:23 pm

My house has internets! I have been without for most of the summer. I don’t even know what I used to do on the internet. Eboo, I feels ya bro.

Unfortunately now I have no excuse to not fill out grad school applications. FUCK REAL LIFE OH MY GOD I DON’T WANT TO DO THIS.
96. Ebeth | August 31, 2011 at 6:49 pm

speaking of fuck real life, spent most of the day freaking the fuck out because i was about to be completely broke (actually, literally, no-money-in-the-bank broke) and had to ask my parents to borrow money for the first month’s rent

which when i take a step back and think about it, most of my friends have parents who are just straight up paying for them, or lending them however much they need and not even really telling them how much it is. so like, asking for a month’s rent on loan isn’t unheard of or anything

but with my parents it ended up in a talk about responsibility and a going-over of what my budget is going to be this year and how much money i’m going to make (enough…barely)

which ended with me freaking out even more hardcore and feeling really generally shitty about real life

and then they eventually thought to reassure me that i would not end up starving on the streets and that they would lend me money when i needed it which is nice to know

it’s still a loan though and it’s still a situation where i’m dealing with all this shit on my own. they’re leaving it up to me to deal with everything and figure out if i’ll need money and how much i’ll need to borrow

which is cool and makes sense and is probably the right parenting move but dear god it is stressful. i’ve never had all this adult shit to deal with before, and just to make everything even more fun i’m the one who’s dealing with the gas and electric for the house and will probably end up in charge of setting up internet as well

and then i talked to finch about it to try to make myself feel better and it was entirely unhelpful. not because he wasn’t supportive or anything but idk he just doesn’t really -have- money problems and it feels a bit weird.

anyway now i have a huge list of shit i have to deal with tomorrow (aside from the whole moving thing, i have to deal with the bank and the electric company, both of which will probably try to screw me over, and write a fairly large check for the rent and go over the whole house to make sure nothing’s broken that they’d try to charge us for, which is something sarah probably won’t even want to deal with since she has work at 2 but i’m gonna make sure we do it thoroughly because fuck paying anything more than i have to, and i have to email the dude from the lantern and get a haircut and pick up the refill on my meds and call my dentist about moving my appointment next week and talk to my old journalism advisor and make a more insanely detailed budget so i can make sure i have enough until work starts up again)

fuck adulthood
- 97. axa | September 1, 2011 at 8:56 am
  
  damn i’m getting stressed out just reading about all of that. :/
  tbh that’s kinda lame your housemates aren’t helping you out with some housework stuff? but like i also understand why you’d want to do it specifically because then you know you’ll get it right. idk. good luck with everything though! (meant in a non-sarcastic way…CAUSE IT SOUNDS SARCASTIC….)
- 98. Mel | September 3, 2011 at 8:37 am
  
  Ohmygawd I’m so sorry. I feel your pain. Every year with the first month’s rent. Ugh. I think sometimes parents just like want to be controlling bitches and make you squirm through retarded hoops until they feel like they’re still in control of something. If they’re anything like mine, they will probably help out, like, the day before deadlines. And then act like martyrs.
  - 99. Ebeth | September 4, 2011 at 1:21 pm
    
    haha that is pretty much how it went down. i’m asking to borrow another $100 but that is just buffer money, i don’t actually need it. work starts up again sept 19th and my first paycheck is the day before the rent is due, fuck yeah
100. Fiddler | September 2, 2011 at 8:38 pm

Eboo, I am really sorry that I don’t have any helpful anything other than virtual hugs. But I have those in abundance, and you have them now too, because I just gave them to you. :/
I love you and I am super impressed by how amazing you are.

Uhm….I’m in the musical now. We’re doing Little Shop of Horrors, and I’m Crystal. Who apparently sings a lot. Which means that I probably have more rehearsal commitment than I wanted, which is annoying, because of classes and general dumb freshman stress and STUFF.
But oh well. I’m in a play. In a musical. I got in the first time I’ve ever auditioned for something. I’ve always wanted to be involved with theater, and now I am. WEIRD.
Rehearsals start Monday.

Oh god.

REHEARSALS START MONDAY.

I think I’m going to die.

I probably am going to die.

But it’s okay.

Also, my poi got here today and I spun for about three hours. My fingers are red from being rubbed by poi.
But it was AWESOME.

Sleep now, laundry tomorrow.
It doesn’t seem like I should have used up all of my underwear since the last time I did laundry, but apparently I have. It’s very odd.
- 101. Potato Chip (Kelly) | September 3, 2011 at 3:34 am
  
  get thee to the lingerie store! having to do laundry just because you’re out of underwear sucks, at least when you’re lazy like me…
  
  congrats on the musical!
102. Mel | September 3, 2011 at 8:59 am

I’m still trying to find a second job. Worst-case-scenario: become a stripper and/or get a sugar daddy. Which actually sounds better than getting a real job, it’s a lot less actual work. How much would y’all judge me? Or I could try the food-places that fire people every other week. I tend to have a high everything in life tolerance. But then I’d smell funny coming home. And my current job won’t let me submit my internets timesheet wharblgarbl.

Not to mention I have to get paint or whatever for my car because some drunk asshats keyed it. So I got revenge on all the drunk asshats. Whether or not they were involved. For the lulz.

We live on the corner of two of the university’s three party streets. And have a second-story balcony, and third-story roof access (with lawn chairs, for the goddamn roof fuck yeah). And squirt guns. Three hours of fucking around up there with the lights off = three hours of drunk people going “what the fuck? why is it raining? is there water on me? the fucking tree is spitting on us!”

First week of classes is over and I’m sick already. This always happens at school. I hate when I’m like really skinny but really hungry when I wake up. Sigh.

At least it’s Saturday, which means Doctor Who party night. Only I have to pick the boy up from the airport at 2300 which means driving which means sobriety. Motherfucker. And then I have to listen to him have emotions at me? Which is so lame.

I think I finally explained the concept of “we cannot share food because you eat it all and I cannot afford to feed myself.” Which also means he sure as fuck isn’t eating breakfast the next day until he gets his own ass to the grocery store. One day of breakfast for him = four or so days of breakfast for me. And then he tells me I’m starving myself -_-

And then he’ll be all “whine whine you’re so mean to me.” Which I’ve tried to explain is fucking bullshit. I mean, he’s already staying here for what will have been 2 months without paying rent/utilities. Like seriously, the fact that I’ve been established as the less emotional one doesn’t imply that I’m a terrible awful person for not just like accommodating everyone else’s dumb feelings.

Also I have to go to class and accomplish life shit. Honestly I don’t understand how doing what is best for you and asking others fucking respect that shit = being mean, unfair, tactless, whatever other adjectives I get he probably doesn’t even know what “tactless” means aargh.

Like, shouldn’t I be looking forward to this? If he is too travel-tired to have sex I will throw him off the fucking roof.

On a not-really-related note, does anyone else feel really violated when you see someone else using your computer?
- 103. Fortune Cell | September 4, 2011 at 9:59 am
  
  Just get a sugar daddy, dude. You would get most hella money for not very much work at all. Also, you win for squirting all the bad drunk people.
  
  Okay, but seriously, he’s hella freeloading off of you for two months and he should be grateful as all fuck. Like, he BETTER be doing all the chores or else. I mean, no rent/utilities? Whining because you won’t share food? Frankly, he sounds entitled as all hell. He’s probably just spoiled and it’s not malicious or anything, but you can’t let him take advantage of you.
  
  At this point, a sugar daddy would be way better for your wallet and less stressful. Just sayin’.
  
  Dude, I think EVERYONE here understands the panic that comes when someone else touches your computer. It’s just…not okay.
- 104. Ebeth | September 4, 2011 at 1:19 pm
  
  oh god when people use my computer i hover so hard
  
  also yeah make that bitch buy his own food, seriously. have him hang out with me, i will instill such guilt.
  
  also if you want to truly fuck with drunk people, i recommend a 1/2″ pvc blowgun and some miniature marshmallows. trust me it is good times
105. Fiddler | September 6, 2011 at 6:58 pm

I dislike having to write a specific number of pages. Are they TRYING to make me bullshit and run-on my way through another page once I’ve said what I want to say? Bloody hell.

Part of me wants to go get food once I’m done writing this, but the other half is saying that I’m not STARVING, so I shouldn’t.
Dear body, you’re getting fed whether you need it or not. The sandwiches at Sage are fucking delicious and I deserve it.

Which is like the most awful reason for eating ever good god kill me now. >.<
- 106. Fortune Cell | September 7, 2011 at 4:16 pm
  
  Have you…never had to write a certain number of pages before? I think it’s a pretty useful skill to have, frankly.
  - 107. Fiddler | September 8, 2011 at 8:02 pm
    
    Not really, no.
    I guess it’s useful and all, it’s just annoying.
    Bah.
    - 108. Fortune Cell | September 9, 2011 at 5:12 pm
      
      Huh. That’s just bizarre to me. I’ve never had to write a paper for a class without at least some rough idea of how long or short it was supposed to be. I feel like it builds discipline, technique, and organization.
    - 109. Ebeth | September 11, 2011 at 12:49 pm
      
      i actually hate it when teachers don’t give some sort of guideline on the length of the paper. it lets me know what they’re expecting out of it and how much research/thought i need to put into it. if a paper is shorter than they were expecting, they think you didn’t try, and if it’s longer than they expected they get annoyed at having to grade it all. so if they give you a length you actually have a better idea of what you need to do to get a good grade

So the freshman fifteen that everyone is going on about irl? I keep forgetting to eat. I think I’m averaging 1.5 real meals a day now. XDDD

My room mate, she is the BEST. We get along fabulously. She speaks Romanian.

AXA AXA AXA MY ENGLISH IS ALSO READING BEOWULF. But it’s really cool because I go to a school with a lot of deaf folk and a lot of my classes have interpreters and the guy for my english is playing all the parts at once. /socool/.

Nutella and Hello Pandas are staples of my diet. *nodnod*

      Name was being funny there for a second. Thanks for the welcome, parallel MBer. Are there any rules? I can’t see any, but I’d assume no racial slurs and no truly offensive behavior. Aside from that it looks very…free. I like it here.
      - 124. Jadestone | September 19, 2011 at 5:36 am

        125. Castle | September 19, 2011 at 10:05 am
        
        Great! This also seems like a much more effective way to arrange real life meetings. And also, the sex thread. Thank you, whoever made that. My name is linked to my facebook if anyone wants to see what I look like >.<
        
        126. Castle | September 19, 2011 at 10:06 am
        
        NOT THAT THE SEX THREAD AND WHAT I LOOK LIKE HAVE ANYTHING IN COMMON
        
        That looks wrong now that I’ve posted it. Those were completely separate statements.

SCHEDULING CONFLICT WITH MEDITATION CLUB

SOMETHING ABOUT THIS IS DEEPLY IRONIC BUT I CAN’T FIGURE OUT WHAT

WHAAOOOR3QR57$*
136. tetracontakaidigon | September 21, 2011 at 10:56 am

Sometimes I feel like nobody in college actually likes me and everyone in my hall just tolerates me (except for Other Matt who I am pretty sure genuinely likes everyone he meets)
Like when I can hear voices behind a closed door and I knock and there are like 10 people clustered around a computer for chatroulette, including my roommate who I only pretty much see in the mornings since somehow I go to bed before she even gets back from her boyfriend’s room, including said boyfriend, and the computer and room happen to belong to someone who I still almost have a crush on, except we haven’t actually talked in the past week and a half and he only even responds to text messages when I send things like “you never answered the urgent question I sent five hours ago” and then he’s all irritable and “I already told you this” so he’s not really worth my time, none of them seem to be, except I feel so alone sometimes that I can’t write off my entire hall when lots of them are really nice people and say hi to me in the halls and things, unless like I think they are only pretending to be nice…

tldr: my therapist is busy until this evening, have some of my adjustment anxiety

the only good thing which has happened today: my bed lowering request from August was granted
- 137. Zack Gomez | September 21, 2011 at 12:38 pm
  
  We like you, and I’m sure they do too. And if they don’t just ignore the fuckers.
  
  Also, I’m Castle. I can’t figure out how to be Zack Gomez and Castle at the same time.
  - 138. Fortune Cell | September 21, 2011 at 2:56 pm
    
    Yeah every time you change your name (and possibly URL/email too?) it requires me to push it through moderation. Might not want to make a habit of it (PS I am the Julia that friend requested you on FB a few days ago)
    - 139. Zack Gomez | September 21, 2011 at 3:42 pm
      
      AHA ALL MAKES SENSE NOW
- 140. Fortune Cell | September 21, 2011 at 3:01 pm
  
  It’s an adjustment, Annie. And, really, the only thing you can do is just be friendly and nice. The people in your hall don’t hate you – they’re just preoccupied, like you, with trying to adjust to dorm/college life. They’re just as worried as you about fitting in and making friends and handling their classes and getting along with their roommates and all of that. Keep your door open, and kill ‘em with kindness. And make sure you’re making an effort to meet people outside of your dorm – introduce yourself to everyone you sit next to in class, join clubs, you know the drill. Beginning of freshman year is the time in your life when people will be the most receptive to making friends with strangers.
  
  If you ever need to talk, you know where to find me. Hang in there <3
  - 141. axa | September 22, 2011 at 6:35 pm
    
    i agree with all of this and it is really good advice. pretty much everyone is probably freaking out internally on some level, freshman year is really weird. julia basically said it all so i’ll leave it at that
142. Lizzie | September 22, 2011 at 9:32 am

God damn it. I can’t distinguish between Stravinsky Petrushka and Schoenberg Five Orchestral Pieces. This is a problem.
143. Mel | September 24, 2011 at 7:29 pm

@Annie- nono you are the best and it’s freshman year so everyone’s just awkward and you’ll probably not talk to the people you befriend in the first month. Stuff just works out. I still have no idea how I have friends. What Julia said, esp. the club thing. Or just ask to join people with cool tshirts in the dining hall.

@Lizzie- LOLSchoenberg.

I got a TARDIS cake and Eboo and Grant on my birthday HELLZ YEAH. And I’m pretty sure we finally found the last hidden bottle. Seriously, drunk people, how you hide stuff so well? Also how did we fit all those people in our house and how did I not know the majority of them and I’m kinda thankful for the HvZ thing (HI EBOO) because holyshit the first quiet Friday/Saturday nights since term started. Relaxing! Moping…
144. penguini | September 25, 2011 at 8:16 am

So HvZ I died monday morning at like 7:45 because I was in the tunnels with one sock and had to gtfo because fucking FIREALARM and two zombies and nowhere to run above ground. And then I spent the next week being a happy zombie :3333 I got four humans! And our game has a witch that can stun zombies and kill humans with a respawn time of 30 seconds who trolls crowds of zombies. So I changed the way the game is played by hugging the witch post tag and Never Letting Go. Now /everybody/ is hugging the witch and the witch can’t troll. I have so many bruises and scraps and splinters from being thrown around and tackled and hiding in a bush and stuff. I seriously look like I’ve been beaten. XD

I got 11 hours of sleep last night I FEEL GREAT. So doing all my hw tonight for the next week and then going back to sleep because staying up until two is ruining me. Though trolling on the greek hazing groups at midnight was totally worth it. Had a brass taxi horn and a dude wearing a kilt with me.

Life, she is great!

My school has a 5:1 ratio boys:girls so all my friends are male and this is awkward as fuck because this is the first time this has ever happened and knowing how to behave I do not. Also why did I manage to acquire the one guy from an all boys school who is awesome enough to get girls numbers and incompetent enough to LOSE them? Life is getting back from guy’s rooms at like 1 in the morning because having metal party and refusing to give room mate’s chair back to him so he can minecraft.

Room mate is the best. We have the quiet study room and down the hall is the perpetual room party.

Roomie and I are considering pet rats, because adorable cuddly animals are sorely missing from our lives.
Aside from that, life as usual goes on.
Accidentally escaped The Bubble with a friend today while taking a long walk and heart-to-heart conversation.
We were walking, and suddenly we were not on our campus and there were old people around.
He looked over at me and just started laughing “oh my god, Fern, we’re in the Real World now, and you look ridiculously Wilson-y.” (I was wearing a dip-dyed skirt, tank top with owls on it, a green scarf around my head, macrame hemp necklace, dreads, and no shoes…)
It’s weird to live among hippies and then suddenly be thrown into Life As Usual For Most People.

So what happened to the old MB? Did it get eaten by the internet or what?

I’m glad someone’s continuing the tradition though. I was just wondering since I was scrubbing up the old RRR (You know, the first one. Does anyone remember?) and hunting for the rest of the story that wasn’t on the reference text. But maybe it’s gone. Oh well.

  Old MB is still around, doing its thing, as far as I know. A big reason that FMB was created was because of the busyness of MB.

    I was known as a plethora of names, including ChinTsu, Anata, and Amelia Peaboday. And no, the Very oldest one, the Afareet one.
    
    Could anyone give me a link for it? A google search produced no results.

I’m getting by. College is tough since I have three labs, but I’ve found my own group of friends and gotten along very well. It’s very chill, which is nice. I’m not really much into the party scene really.

Oh, and the food here is surprisingly good. We have tortia and curry bars and a frozen yogurt machine. I haven’t eaten a hamburger since I got here.

  - 162. Fiddler | October 2, 2011 at 8:12 am
    
    Unfortunately I’m still doing really basic, boring stuff because I haven’t had much time to practice and also I haven’t thrown myself into learning too many new tricks. YET.
    I’m doing butterflies (only one I can do backwards so far), 2 and 3 beat weaves, thread the needle, and butterfly behind the back, I don’t know the official name. Then also doing butterfly but putting one behind your back and one in front and alternating, again, I don’t know the name.
    When I burned I just did butterfly, weaves, and flowers, since I was still all “AAAAH FIIIIIIIIIIRE SO PRETTTTYYYYYYYY!!!!!”
    I want to learn more though….glarg I need to practice. >.<

AXA I HOPE YOU HAVE SLEPT SINCE THEN HOW ARE YOU DOING NOW

Also hello, ChinTsu! Nice to see you around again!
171. Dodecahedron | October 5, 2011 at 1:13 pm

hello ChinTsu! (fun fact: I cannot type your name without at least three attempts, even though I am staring at it as I type)

EVERYONE I HAVE A POLL:
To fulfill my divisional requirements I need to cluster (take three related courses) in a social science. As a double major with both majors in the natural sciences, I don’t really have time to take extra courses just for teh lulz, or at least I’d rather assume that I don’t and be pleasantly surprised than assume that I do. This means that second semester of my freshman year I have a space for one cluster course (because I am NOT taking four hours of math and computer science in a row twice a week with a fifth hour later that day no matter how much I like the Logic and Set Theory professor). None of the classes for my humanities cluster are available (those classes, btw, are History of Jazz and History of Rock Music). I was originally planning to cluster in linguistics because it would be useful if I wanted to go into computer/human interaction or artificial intelligence. However, the intro linguistics course is at the same time as my web programming course, which is an upper-level elective in my major (I need three or four of those to graduate with a BS in computer science and this one seems pretty useful/fun/easy). So I can take a course called Language in Advertising, which I could use for some linguistics clusters (but not nearly as many as LIN 110, the schedule-conflicting one.) But then I realized: The linguistics course that I’m really interested in is Language and Sexuality (only offered in the fall :/), which is cross-listed as WST103. And women’s studies clusters are social science too. So I could take Feminism, Gender and Health and be on my way to a cluster in Women’s Studies. (unfortunately Colloquium on Women’s Studies and Gender of Psychology are both schedule conflicts too…)

tl;dr: SHOULD I TAKE A WOMEN’S STUDIES COURSE OR A LINGUISTICS COURSE? (or something else entirely, maybe anthropology? or “Introduction to Cryptography,” and just overload on math and CS this term, as I will be doing for the rest of my life?)
- 172. Dodecahedron | October 5, 2011 at 4:40 pm
  
  lolol psychology of gender not gender of psychology
  the terms are interchangeable, right?
  - 173. Dodecahedron | October 5, 2011 at 5:07 pm
    
    GUYS THERE IS A WOMEN’S STUDIES COURSE TITLED “CHANGING GENRES OF EROTICA” AND UNLIKE EVERY OTHER WOMEN’S STUDIES COURSE (SERIOUSLY, EVERY ONE OF THEM) IT IS NOT A DIRECT CONFLICT WITH MY SCHEDULE
    EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO WAY ON EARTH I COULD USE IT FOR MY DEGREE THIS COURSE IS RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS
    - 174. Mel | October 5, 2011 at 5:52 pm
      
      TAKE THE BALLS OUT OF IT.
175. Mel | October 5, 2011 at 3:04 pm

Go with Women’s Studies. Your hobbies and passions will keep you sane through a hard science degree.
176. Axa | October 9, 2011 at 9:07 pm

dodeca — TAKE THE WOMEN’S STUDIES CLASS. DO IT. IT IS RELEVANT TO LIFE EVEN IF IT’S NOT RELEVANT TO YOUR MAJOR. i’m so goddamn pissed i couldn’t get into a women’s studies class this semseter I GO TO A WOMEN’S COLLEGE HOW CAN THIS BE HAPPENING

i only have one more week of classes before fall break!!!$% and i don’t have philosophy on thursday so it’s actually a shortish week! I’M GONNA FAIL THIS TEST YALL SPINOZA WHO ARE YOU WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME
177. Kagcomix | October 20, 2011 at 2:17 pm

Hi guys. I hate to be all jerky & only post on here because I am looking for some help on a project. As you may or may not know I make mini-comics. I’m basing the format of the next issue of my mini-comic on that of the old school floppy comics. I’d like to have a cheesy “mail” page, I just need some “mail”. You know, questions or whatever. Questions on anything. They can be submitted through my Tumblr ask box ( http://kagcomix.tumblr.com/ask ). Questions that aren’t too lewd or vulgar will be included in the upcoming issue of my mini-comic. Thanks so much.
- 178. Fortune Cell | October 20, 2011 at 8:18 pm
  
  what is lewd or vulgar.
- 179. Dodecahedron | October 21, 2011 at 8:35 am
  
  I sent you a question!
  ON A RELATED NOTE
  I made a tumblr, what should I follow? fakescience, adoctorworld, and betterbooktitles are some of my favorites, and right now I just have those and a few friends. How do I find good tumblrs?
- 180. Mel | October 22, 2011 at 12:10 pm
  
  I would ask a question but I do not know what to ask. What to ask?
181. Mel | October 24, 2011 at 9:25 am

I finally maybe have something remotely resembling a life again. Or endless distractions. Not like I can tell the difference anyway. I have two jobs and everything. Aside from my couple-week hiatus from the gym, my real life is pretty together. Damn gym, being far when I’m sick and it’s cold. I’m so sore from work. Muscles, why are you such fickle friends?

I’ve started hiveminding with the housemates again. Which led to some interesting questions when we recruited fresh blood to our cult-tv-watching sessions. Note to self: do not tell drinking stories to the children. Especially if they involve squirtguns, machetes, and policemen.

This weekend one of the local theatres was playing RHPS at midnight. Which was pretty fun (theatre screening, not live), and the three or four virgins we brought with us are convinced that this will protect them from future hazing. Dude I would do hazing like every time. It was super last-minute, though, so no costume for me. I desperately want to do chick-Eddie when my hair grows out a bit more. Protip: don’t buzzcut your hair down to 9mm. It’s over three inches now!

Get mistaken for a dude MODERATELY less often now. Might have to do with winter clothing being slightly less androgynous. “You have fashion sense! You’re wearing navy with purple! That’s clever! And you have a hat.” It wasn’t purple, and this is what happens when all your friends are engineers.

Need to make Halloween costume. Need to email professor whose office hours I keep missing. Need to make to-do-list in middle of forum post.

I’m well on my way to being academically organized and everything, too. Aside from that pesky homework and praying to the attendance gods that no one checks anymore in the class I attend once a week. I think I’m in the clear. Hurrah for online homework submission.

My math-transcript now says “all requirements completed,” which is damn cool. Hoping to still take some maths next semestre, though. Unfortunately, I’m still listed as being advised by a professor who retired. Don’t know how to take care of that one. I have two more classes to finish a German degree. In theory, because after studying abroad, the registrar transferred something in as an English/Theatre class. Herp derp. Gotta fix that.

And finish-graduate-school-applications aka wait-for-reference letters-to-come-in and quadriple-forever check grammar on personal statements. And then pray to the grad-school gods. Perhaps sacrifice a few freshmen. Standard. TERRIFYING.

Ugh though, registration is in like ALMOST NOW and the course list is not yet published.

TL:DR: I’m pretty much just babbling because I have time between classes for once and I’ve already browsed the internet exhaustively. I don’t know what to do with myself these days. WALL OF TEXT YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
- 182. Mel | October 24, 2011 at 9:26 am
  
  Oh, and have ticket to make trans-Atlantic booty-call over winter break. Aw yeaaaah.
  
  Because face it, that’s what it amounts to -_-
183. Beavo | October 25, 2011 at 9:07 pm

So despite the consistent and repetitive failures on my part to get ~back into the MuseBloggy thing~, I’m going to really try to not be too busy/lazy to even this time.

Also, are the AIM things still happening?

Also, hi, everyone

Oh god, guys I may actually be becoming a real college student.
Friday night a friend and I got some guiness and drank it while playing celtic music, then our other friend and I ran around and giggled, because we’re both tiny little lightweights. Meanwhile poor Colin was running after us, because, as I stated, we were both giggly and running around and he felt responsible.
Then last night was the Halloween party. And I actually went, instead of holing up and doing homework (which, of course, I have even more than usual it seems) like I usually would.
I was dressed up as a pirate. Let’s just say that the reaction I got a lot was “dude I love you costume! Also, your boobs look AWESOME!” which then progressed to “HIIIII FERN!” *grope*
