Monday Again?
Jan. 27th, 2003 11:53 pmWasn't it Monday only like.. three days ago?
So today in my Community and Regional Developement section (CRD1-"The Community") we discussed how completely and utterly pointless the class is before the TA arrived. After discussing and clarifying the irrelevent differences between different definitions of "community" (which is basically all we've done for the last three weeks!), the TA made us get in groups of four and discuss communities we're part of. I know MY group for one did no such thing. Then she wanted people to spout out examples of communities.. normally I'm all against that whole "class participation" thing, but I dunno everyone elses answers were dumb ("my frat," "my football team"), and I'd just been flyering for tomorrow's show for the last few hours, so I was like "the local underground music kids" and related it totally to everything that had been said about what makes a community. And then this guy in the class who has a band and has been trying to get me to book them talked to me after class and I told him about some potential gigs and.. it just fit into what I had just said about the "underground music community" helping eachother out and stuff so well that it made me SICK. It was like it was scripted from some bad Disneychannel show that didn't have enough tact to gracefully hint at things and has to make everything blaring obvious and spelled out.
Listening to their CD now actually, that guys band, Modus, and they're actually Pretty Decent. I am definitely going to have to find them a show.
As I promised yesterday:
How to Tell the Many Amies/Amys/Aimees Apart From One Another
Alright. So this is the question I know all y'all are wondering. There's just like.. too many Aim-E-s, and unlike the various Jessicas, they don't all spell it in different ways.
AMIE GUTIERREZ: My friend Nick and I issued a few of them codenames, because codenames are cool. So Amie, this is prolly news to you, but you are Codename: Sharpie. Also if we're talking about booking bands, vacaville, or not being over ones ex and being in denial over it, this is the Amie we're talking about. On my cell phone everyone has been reduced to four digits to simplify all these things. This Amie has the privilage of being AMIE.
AMY ZIMMERMAN: So far she's the only one that spells it with a Y, so usually she is "Amy with a Y" in conversation. If we're talking about people with twin sisters, people who realized they weren't over their exes, or whose sweatshirt I'm usually wearing, this is her. Codename: Ninja. Her four digits are AMYZ.
AMIE JOE: If we're talking about people with private jets, people who are raging republicans, people who I sense will one day date noted liberal James Schwab, or people think I "talk mad shit", then this is probably the Amie under discussion. If we are talking about girls named Amie spelt with an I E whose middle initial is J and who are in my Econ class... well then it could be either this one or Gutierrez. This is also AMIJ.
AIMEE: If we're talking about people who live in the middle of nowhere, or people who have my tie, then we're talking about this Aimee. In four digits: AIME.
Alright, thats it for this week's installment of Kris' Guide To "Ay-me"s. Next feature: Random People. You know you're curious.
