Results are In

   So Thursday night was the Phi Alpha Delta (PAD) initiation, followed by a post initiation party. Unfortunately we don't have any pictures of either of these events currently at our disposal, as my camera was broken at that time. Since then it has inexplicably recovered. Anyway, I am now officially a fratboy.
   Friday the adventures continued with PAD end of the year banquet. Kristy and I tried to get a picture of ourselves but people are retarded and apparently everyone feels the need to center pictures on ones face, hold the camera horizontally, and cut one off in the chest while including all this useless space above one's hair. I'm officially adding this activity to my list of pet peeves. Granted several of those who attempted were to some degree intoxicated, it seems like the correct way to capture the most of a more or less rectangular area (the photo subject) in a potentially larger rectanger (the camera viewfinder) should be obvious to any university attendant. Apparently it is a foreign concept.


   In other news, I posted an evaluatory poll in my last entry. The results appear to be definite approval in all areas and a decided improvement over a year ago.
   Accuracy shows a 2.36 improvement to 10.44; Impartiality is up the most, 3.33 to 9.25*; technical aspects of writing are up 1.87 to 10.44; length is down .02 to 7.6; Relevance is up 2.15 to 9.00; amusement is up .8 to 9.44;
   Overall we're up .83 to 9.6, with an average improvement of 1.74
   *One must certainly discard the statistically anomolous vote of eternality, as he (Kevin Gong) is clearly biased. Not only does he clearly side with the shady regime of Secretary-General Myung, even THEY have this to say about him: amazonjedimaster: kevin is universally unliked; amazonjedimaster: but not everyone knows that; amazonjedimaster: i think kevin would be the best bet; PrzemekP: good point. Kev it is; amazonjedimaster: everyone knows that kevin is a parrot; PrzemekP: true.
   Whats more, he knows they say things like this about him but he's still a die hard Myungist cadre. Surely such an invertibrate is in no position to appreciate the more balanced view of things one finds here at emosnail, and ought to recuse himself from speculating on the impartiality of this livejournal.


In Other News: I recently discovered the awesomeness that is the geoduck, and verily it is awesome. Someday if I play my cards right I hope to behold one in person.


Picture of the Day

Ritesh Shah greets the end of his last meeting as a pledge of Phi Alpha Delta with jubilation. Pledge Parent Alvin Tsao appears to still be stressing, however.

omg frat guys are scary.

on frats

apparently there are two types of fraternities -- social ones and professional ones. Social ones have no point, professional ones do. Well social frats essentially are an attempt to institutionalize the quest to get laid as far as I can tell. I'm not sure what the professional business frat does, but the professional law frat (the one I'm in) does a lot of useful things related to preparing one for law school. Its basically institutionalized law school preparation. Also its coed so its not a great big homoerotic sausage fest like the social frats. (=

Bias

By the same token, I could say that your interpretation of the entire administrative fiasco this year is equally biasted towards your own views and goals. And I find it interesting that you'd use the musings of "psychotic dictator" to paint my character to people who don't know me well enough to make their own judgements (other than, of course, what you tell them). As for recusing myself from judging the impartiality of this journal... Since this is a public journal, and I read it, I find myself wholly in a position to comment on it.

Oh, and congratulations on making it into the frat.

Yeah it was kind of a joke that I was talking about impartiality while using the opportunity to further deride the Myung administration.

I'd have to say that Kevin is a plusgood citizen, and you make fun of him too much.

The only reason you didn't rate higher in my book was because of the MUN thing. Your ASUCD coverage is quite good, but it's hard for me to tell what to think of the MUN wars.

Suffice to say that I'm now considering all guys from MUN "MUNdanes", and all girls "MUNdames". MUNdanes just not wiggy enough for me to bother with.

[emosnail.livejournal.com]

Seriously, I think my MUN coverage is at least as good as my ASUCD coverage and my credibility in the latter speaks for my credibility in the former. If it seems particularly harsh for certain people its because there really isn't much to be said in support of their cause. Its like the time the Aggie tried to write a neutral article about Tiqula Bledsoe.. the truth hurts.

And MUN fees are MUNdanegeld?

Sigh.

Of course I was still stressing, I was freaked out about a certain pledges late interviews!
