The Agrinautica

   OMG the coolest thing ever.
   So you know there are those bulletin boards in the class rooms with random credit card posters and things right? Well there are. And there was one for some MCAT test.. but for some random reason it had hella room to the left of MCAT.. so after a short deliberation, my friends and I decided to write "SPER" next to it with my ubiquitous sharpie, so this massive poster says "SPERMCAT" on it in letters three inches tall. Then there was this random picture of a pregnant lady's belly on a poster right next to it so I drew an alian coming out of the belly, and then a text bubble from a doctor pictured on the same poster saying "Only one in eight Spermcat babies is actually a man eating alien." Next to this fisheye picture of someone all excitedly looking at money with the headline "earn money for college!" I wrote "in the act of undergoing the Spermcat(tm) donation process" with an arrow pointing at the guy. Then some Thai cultural dancers in funny outfits I labelled as "the Spermcat developement team!" And like.. other stuff. It was great. You had to be there. Check out Wellman 105 if you get half a chance.
   I also wrote "SPERMCAT BANANA" on a 13 inch banana I found at Kristy's place. That thing was freakin huge.


   In completely unrelated news, this guy Louis or something tried to get me to rush Sig Ep today. Then five minutes later I'm talkin to Azver and Lisa about this and I'm like "can you believe someone tried to recruit ME for a frat??" and Azver whups out with this handbill for his frat, "Sammy's." Crazinss.
   This Louis guy though is like the most sincerely friendly and emanating confidence and wholesomeness guy I've ever met though I swear. So maybe I'll go to something just to humor him. I think Kalen Gallagher is part of that frat too.


   In other news.. turned in my "character sketch" for English class today.. as usual it was over the prescribed list. People who read theirs in class made me want to retch. I hate people.
   Maybe I'll make the thing I wrote available on here or somewhere... or maybe not.. I dunnnoo.


   Dude.. anyone know whats up with Strongbad today??


   Blehtahepdakorum is now classified as "Moralistic Democracy." I don't think I've ever seen another "Moralistic Democracy" in the game so thats kinda cool but.. omg people have "some" political freedoms now, and anyway, there ain't supposed to be anything "democratic" about my dominion. Disturbing.


Hours consequetively awake: 35

   Right now I'm in the computer lab on campus. The one in the basement of Oslon, because the other one has like.. windows and things like that that are bleh-hurg. This one is nearly silent except for the steady sound of airconditioners.. it actually sounds a bit like a really muffled waterfall. And in general it has this aura of like.. being in the basement. Good times.


   Last night I was at the A Fire Inside (AFI) show until until 2:30. Blah. But I got paid $40 for it. For the last two hours or so of being there two other entertainment council guys and I were helping load-out the equipment. So $40 for two hours, $20 an hour.. sounds good to me. One of our guys was this guy I've never seen before who's only reason for being there was to see the band. I found that kinda lame.. he disappeared at one point to get his picture with them, and absconded with set lists like a kleptomaniac. What a man-groupie.
   And speaking of which, I have NEVER seen so many people wearing a bands shirt to their show. I mean.. I hate to be all like a scene snob and all but.. no, you just don't do that. Your there, we know your a fan, especially if you dress like.. every freakin other one of the fans.. you want to seem like you're in the know, wear a shirt of a band closely connected to the band thats playing, like a Tiger Army shirt to the AFI show or something. Apparently Vanessa and Sachi and whomever filmed a thing called "Poser Disposer" outside, where they interviewed all the poser-punks they could find. I can't wait to see that. And man.. I have never seen so many fights break out at a show either. These AFI kids have a fairly violent way of moshing right? And then there were these bros there that as usual didn't really understand the point behind the moshing, and then they'd feel like some AFI kid moshing next to them was attacking them and start attacking back and yea. It happened a bunch.
   We TOTALLY didn't get backstage passes, us Entertainment Council people, as we usually do. It sucked they treated us like ::gasp:: everyone else. Except we all got into the show for free. Still though.. like the three of us that were helping pack away the equipment weren't even allowed back until the show was over. I think that was a bit overly fascist.


   Tuesday morning there was a major fake ID bust in the dorms. According to the aggie: "Authorities entered residence halls in groups of about 10 officers who had their weapons drawn, residents said." notice not only was it ten officers, which would have been overkill to begin with, but "GROUPS of ten officers." Did they suspect this kid was peddling military grade weaponry as well??
   Word on the street is that they found 500 fake IDs in there, and various drugs possibly including crack. General suspicion is that when the janitors in the res halls entered the dorms to "search for mold" during break they became aware of the criminal empire this freshman was trying to create.


   Lessee.. I've dropped the history class.. I'm going thirteenxunitxcore.
   Our first short story for the English class is due next wednesday. I want to write something that directly focuses on the issues I've identified in the teacher: of someone defining their existence by making sure everyone thinks of them as the epitome of a particular genre of person (in her case, "artist"). It would be easiest I think for me to make it about a hippie, because more than any other type of person, being a hippie is exactly that: its about being a hippie. But thats too similar to what she is I think. So I'm thinking right now maybe I'll write about a punk.. I've heard plenty of stories about people who introduce themselves as "I'm a punk" or "I am hardcore" and god knows there's a lot of posers out there. I should watch SLC Punk to prepare myself hehe.. for the umm 511th time. But yea.. and its something I know enough about to make it work.. hell maybe I'll even make him work at IHOP.
   The goal is to ideally directly make the teacher question her own behavior, but its very important that she have no idea I am writing it specifically about her.. if this works out it would be wonderful... first assignment, emotionally destroy the teacher.. yea thats about on par with my usual behavior.
   I'm thinking it'll proceed something like a greek tragedy.. in the begining life will be going very well for our protagonist.. and then something will come up that'll make him feel like he's not very punk and cause him serious issues... maybe the entrance into the story of someone who's like.. twice as punk as he... I dunno I really gotta work on these details but.. yea. It'll be very subtle of course.. this deconstruction. If anyone has any thoughts or advise I'd love to hear them.


   In other news the Dominion of Blehtahepdakorum is once again classified as "Iron Fist Consumerist as opposed to "Corporate Police State." We are in the 70th percentile of fastest growing economy (ranked 29,932 out of the 105,086 nations in the world), and leading our region of Aardvarkia in economic growth. In addition to the Grand Duchy of Mumsimalia, an "inoffensive centrist democracy," the "democratic socialist" Republic of Sfergedburg has recently become affiliated with our region.


current mood: everything will be okay.

current music: None, I'm in the computer lab; but there's a vague emo song in my head.. no idea which.. I think it might be a weird mixture of several. weird.

   Arrgh. The post I was working on got lost. I am very displeased.

   Anyway, the much much much shorter version of what I had already said, since I'm too demoralized to write it again: I am back in Davis. The car which is to be transfered into my possession might be about to die. More on that later.

   That is the three paragraphs I had previously typed in less then a nutshell. Blah.


   In other news, at nationstates.net, my nation of Blehtahepdakorum was inexplixplicably redesignated from "Psychotic Dictatorship" to "Iron Fist Consumerists," much to my shock and displeasure. Not only that but Civil Rights were changed from "outlawed" to "rare." I totally can't remember any decision I made that could have resulted in this. The current description is as follows:
   "The Dominion of Blehtahepdakorum is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its compassionate, cynical population of 74 million are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 27%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Cars are banned, Harry Potter books are banned, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Blehtahepdakorum's national animal is the saber-toothed snail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the bogon.
"
   And here I thought I had accidentally banned racist comments? Go figure.

   Alright enough procrastination for now.
   New quarter starts tomarrow.. I'm waitlisted for half my classes still. Psha on that.

   Dammit. I accident established a government policy of "meat-eating is frowned upon" in Blehtahepdakorum. This is in addition to "it is illegal to make racist remarks in public," another complete accident. Sheesh it is so hard to oppress people the way one wants to.
   All I did was indicate that yes SOME flagrant animal abuse should be forbidden and they take it as outright discouragement of meat eating. Sheesh. And the racist remark thing; the issue I was briefed on was that a pile of racists wanted to hold a rally in the captiol, and my response was "what, free speech in MY country? I don't THINK so." So I dunno.. I guess the ban on racist remarks somewhat achieves the government intrusion I was aiming at, but it mostly took it in the wrong direction. Not that I favor racist remarks at all, its just a free speech thing.
   I WAS able to outlaw elections however. Not only will there be no national elections, but no organization in the Dominion of Blehtahepdakorum may have elections for any reason. Muahahahaha. But alas it no longer makes note of that in the little blurb about my country. I swear this thing is trying to oppress ME.

   CAN YOU TELL I SHOULD BE STUDYING?
