   When I arrived at indie rock night (Rock It) at the Grad I pretty much asap found Amy Zimmerman & Dan Masiel sitting with this guy in an "echo" shirt and sat down with them. We were talking about grad schools when the third guy interjects "I have an eight inch penis." We all kind of look at eachother and keep talking like he didn't say anything. He says it again a little later and then "no really its eight inches!" Eventually after at least four unsuccessful attempts to bring the conversation topic to his willy, he wandered off in search of other takers and we immediately removed his chair to prevent his return.
   Inside he apparently was marauding and groping rump, unsolicitedly dancing with girls, and various other bad behaviours. At some point a bouncer had to intervene when a guy got pissed about echo-shirt-guy getting all up on his lady.

   Anyway, otherwise things were fun as usual.


   Shortly after last call DJ Jordan "J2" Smart made an announcement between songs: "Whomever owns the Mercedes parked over there [gestures], um, apparently someone just smashed into your car."
   Now, that describes my car. And Jordan and I have been friends since freshman year so I was sure he must be fucking with me or something. Anyway, I go out there and see a white pick up truck has gone over a four foot median, a bush, and a metal pole, and hit my parked car in the front!!

   Apparently the bouncer had heard the commotion and walked around the corner to find the guy trying to push his car back off the median. The bouncer yelled at him and the guy fled on on foot. We never saw him again.
   There were two cases of full beers beside the car that we suspected had been hastily evacuated from the car. Upon beholding the incident, Amy Zimmerman noted "well, so much for me being in the picture of the day."
   My car was operable enough to drive home, I haven't driven it since then though.
   As the bouncer described the guy he saw to Officer Franti, Amy & I began to recognize the description -- "wait.. was he wearing an 'echo' shirt by any chance?" "actually.. I think he was."

In Other News:
   In addition to the pictures of the crash, I put up some pictures from Rock It. Within ten minutes of putting this batch up, two of the pictures had already broken the 1,500 view threshhold!! One of them is currently at 2,901 views and climbing! I think I must have landed myself a prominent spot on one of their main "recent changes" pages or something.

   Friday being Lyric's birthday celebration and Ten For One Night (Officially "10-4-1" night, which has the double meaning that at first drinks are 10 for 1, but half an hour later they're 4 for 1, and then they're 1 for 1) at the Grad, Kristy and I met up with Lyrics friends at the Grad. It was crazy, we got six drinks for $4 something. Unfortunately one can only but two drinks /person at a time and the lines were too long to go through twice in the first half hour. But I gave in and went back during the 4 for 1 period and my drink was still only around $2.
   Then everyone scampered off to M Street (I didn't even know there WAS an M street?!) for this girl Bitafilter's "White Trash" theme party. Kristy and I made a brief appearance and then took Tipsy Tapsy home. "Maybe we should drink more or they won't let us on it?" Another idea I came up with during the long wait to get through to Tapsy Tipsy was to order a pizza and hitch a ride back from the East Davis Suburban Labyrinth with the pizza delivered (Kristy: "on the minus side, that would be more expensive, but on the plus side, we'd get pizza out of it!").

   On Saturday my former flatmate Ben came to down (did I mention that Ben moved out? Replaced himself with another Indian guy). I think Ben and my other flatmate Jason just came with me to Kristy's place where we all hung out and watched The Simpsons on DVD. This night blurs into the preceding and proceedings evenings a lot in my memory though.

   Sunday night was an indie dance night at The Grad (made possible by Jordan "DJ Boy Wonder" Smart), & Ben's birthday. We convinced him to commute from Novato an hour away again, and go to the Grad with us. Kristy made awesome cup cakes in cones for the occasion.
   Anyway, our expeditionary force to The Grad consisted of Ben, our flatmate Jason, Kristy's flatmates Chrissy and Jadine, Kristy and myself, and we were joined by Jardine's friend Michelle. Everyone had a blast, and there was definitely jockred in the air.

   Two Years Ago Saturday:
First Day of Winter Quarter - Eighties party in the colleges, and future DJ extraordinaire Jordan Smart lurking in a breezeway.
   Year Ago Last Friday: I finally have a camera - and a thorough discussion of "Prereq Appeasement" develops in the comments.

aggienaut: (asucd)

   Thursday morning at the bus stop there were, among other people, these two guys that looked cartoonishly jock-like. They were practically square, like Strong Mad. As they're getting on the bus, one of them says in a voice everyone can hear "so the tests came back and they weren't positive for herpes but the doctor says I still might have it.. I think its gonna be okay though" to which the other one, who had a white guy with a completely shaved head, responded "no, its NOT okay. Its not okay until I know I'm not gonna get that shit from you!" Uh, you're not gonna get it from talkign to me" "Whatever, that shit is contagious..." and basically the entire ride to school it went around with the skinheaded guy being convinced he was gonna get it, and the other guy casually playing it down. Within a short time everyone else in the bus was whispering to whomever was next to them about it.


   On Friday evening Kristy, her flatmates and I went to The Grad again for their dollar drinks before ten. As before we got as many as we could before the price went up at ten, creating a veritable horde. Their former flatmate Joe even took a break from brewing beer to join us again. Then the flatmates all rocked out, and there was general craziness.


   Saturday during the day was our little practice MUN conference -- the mock model United Nations conference that we replaced the actual conference of CalMUN Anaheim with a few years ago. Last time we went Jordan Smart spoke in a russian accent for the entire eight hour drive back -- no wonder we don't do it anymore. Anyway our fake fake UN conference was boring as expected, and when not justifying the Saudi Arabian policy on capital punishment I was guiding my viking people in Civilazation III on my computer.

   Friday evening Phi Alpha Delta (PAD) had our "little sib revealing" where the incoming pledges get to find out which member has been assigned to guide them through the pledge process and egg them on for their own amusement. My little sib didn't show up so my evil plot for world dominion will be slightly delayed. The event was at the corn maze in Woodland, which was pretty cool. I'd always wanted to go to a corn maze but never gotten around to it before. I think Michelle & I (& her pledgling) finished first, a clear testament to our awesomeness.

   From there I went back home only to return a few hours later with Ben for this big costume party in Woodland, one of the hosts of which was in PAD. Ben went as Johnny Bravo, which was pretty cool. I couldn't think of anything creative so I donned my black cloak and was an evil jedi with a mohawk, or something (or the grim reaper with a mohawk and no scyth).
   Around 1:00 Ben & I departed that place caught up with Kristy at another costume party in the Temescal apartment complex in North Davis. This was a "C" themed party, everyone had to be something starting with a C. Kristy was a cat. It looked like it was a really strongsauce party, Ben and I wished we'd gotten there sooner.

   Two Years Ago And A Week Ago Today:
The Devil v The Devil - On who's really controlling the puppets in my court room.
   Two Years Ago Last Tuesday: ASUCD Tahoe Retreat 2003 - President Sara Henry foreshadows her lack of understanding of the concept of three equal branches of government, and general good times are had by all. I was looking forward to doing it again but last year Comptroller Menezes planned it on halloween weekend and this year comptroller Whitney isn't planning on having it at all. Did you know the Government Codes mandate that there must be three retreats per year?
   Two Years Ago Last Thursday: Taking Back Monday - Taking Back Sundays plays acoustic on the quad, because the bureaufascists in campus events wouldn't let them use amplified sound, despite the fact that the group that did have the sound permit that day gave them permission. This would later result in an ASUCD senator (Lydiana Alfaro) making an ass of herself and then getting further pwned by this livejournal.
   Two Years Ago Last Friday: Snapple Piracy - a classic tale of piracy, vindication, and firebombing a city.
   Two Years Ago Today: Death to Officer Chang - I unexpectedly come face to face with my nemisis, Officer Chang, when he comes to ASUCD to whine and feed them filthy filthy lies about why he got fired. I'd have given him a firm shellacking but I think I was positively shaking with anger and hadn't recovered from the unexpected shock of seeing him there until it was too late.

   Bleh. First day of classes equals me in a bad mood.

   Last night, Tuesday night, I finally got the sides of my head reshaved, by my friend Azver. Then went to the eighies party the kids in the Colleges (Courtney, Bree, Christie, Sarina & Adam) were throwing. Well actually then I hurried off to the ASUCD Court meeting, and ended up just walking to the 80s party from there, since Kristy was already there.. so I ended up being the only non-80s person there. Hella people ended up showing up.
   Azver came, and I met [livejournal.com profile] stillsheryl AGAIN and she remembers this time, and [livejournal.com profile] pavelthegeek was also quite abundant.


   Today I had class from 11:00-12:00 and 14:00-15:00, so during the two hour interim I planned to hang out in the MU breezeway. This plan worked out extremely successfully, since as usual there was an entire table of people I knew already there. And of course it happened that everyone there had livejournals ([livejournal.com profile] pavelthegeek, [livejournal.com profile] codetoad, [livejournal.com profile] dinacloud, [livejournal.com profile] jegskaltisse), and this girl Sally who's lj name I forget.
   Then the indie kids set up a rival table ten feet away, where [livejournal.com profile] blushbystander, her boyfriend Jordan Smart and a number of their friends sat. We shook our fists at them.

   There were a number of other details I was planning on throwing in, but I'm tired and irritable now so not so much. The end.


Financial Aid
   My total financial aid for this quarter is $3,522. "But you're gonna have to pay all that back someday dumbass" you say? Yea well $2,022 of it is in grants, meaning I don't have to pay it back ever. In conclusion, it is excellent to be me.


Addendum
   I just changed my listed website here. It formerly pointed to yahoo photos which is getting increasingly and increasingly shoddy, so the new location the link points to is this


Quote of the Day
   Amy Z ([livejournal.com profile] jegskaltisse) - "I'm the unofficial co-host of my sister's radio show.. so I'm not allowed to touch anything. But then again we ARE identical twins, they'd never know."

   And for your reading pleasure, I bring from the archives a historic piece, which some of you may recognize. It remains in its original form as first written on approximately March 13th, 2002, and the events portrayed take place I believe on December 29th, 2001.

The Spectrum Diedrichs - Episode I: Night of the Fountain: How Krisis met Fishis


   Lets see.. all I otherwise need explain about it is that Diedrichs is a coffee shop ubiquitous in Orange County, that is not unlike Starbucks; and the the (Irvine) Spectrum is a colony of small impulse item shops built around a 21 screen theatre, that is like the ONLY local place to go and mingle on Friday and Saturday nights in the area.

   I recently consulted the story for inspiration on writing my current ENL5F story, which endeavors to use a similar antiquated style; and was thus inspired to post it here. The names have all been changed (very very very slightly) to protect the guilty.. except Jordan, but thats because he wasn't actually in the story at all.
   Basically events of a few days were compressed into one, and random exagerrations and complete randomness (things suddenly bursting into flame perhaps?) were completely added.
   It was written over AOL IM by Fish and I, every other line, and then edited into a (somewhat) coherent narrative by myself. Anyway.. read it. And give me feedback. I love feedback. Yes.

   Okay lets see if I can make this update quick like a bunny in the ten minutes I have before my bus leaves.

   Nat crashed here last night. No, on the livingroom couch you perv. But yea, Nat is awesome. We got our selves some alcehal but due to a miscalculation it wasn't enough alcohol to really party it up, maybe next time.
   While getting alcohol at Rite Aid however, we ran into J2. Which was way funny because it seems I only see him when I'm with Nat, and Nat only sees him when she sees me, or vice versa, if she sees one of us she invariably runs into the other. Craziness. Anyway J2 was going on about the KDVS fundraiser and was all like "pledge KDVS!" and... yea. But let us not speak of the cultural darkness in the basement.


   Got the punk story back in English. Teacher absolutely loved the theme I think.. she was all like "see me after class" for serious and had alll her own thoughts on the nature of punkness and stuff. Funny stuff. She told me about some show this next week at capitol garage that she thinks I should for totally go to. Can't remember what though, but I think I'll make an effort to go. Despite this however, I got a B- on the paper.. whereas I got an A+ on every other paper. Psha on that. Mother agreed that the paper was basically crap. No not really that but she said it was my "weakest." ::shrug:: yea I'll admit that there were some problems with the plot speed... but.. well basically I need to catch a bus now, I'll finish this later. -okay back. So yea.. basically the deal with that story was that I suddenly decided to end much sooner than I had planned on up to that point, because I decided I was over it. And now I've lost my concentration and its about three hours after I started this entry so yea I am going to stop now.

   So one night Fishis was working at the Diedrichs Coffee in the Irvine Spectrum Centre with Bob, the androgenous manager.
   And Bob says sweep.
   Damn it
   Okay so she sweeps. And then in comes Alfredo, whom always comes to the café, usually right after visiting Amsterdam's Coffee Shop and various OTHER Diedrich's. And he has MiniAlfredo with him, also known as Todd. Yeah and Todd is jailbait who is into older women and her friends, and tells them odd ways to get his number, but more on that later.
   Anyway so Fishis asks them to hang out with her and they are skeptical because Fishis looks like bad news. She looks like one of those girls that is gonna end up getting them wanted by interpol AND the mafia and eventually they'd wake up with headaches in Utah wearing "hello my name is.." name tags, without being able to remember how they got there or what happened to the cheese danishes they had.
   So of course they say yea.
   And then it goes downhill from there.
   So they went to hang out the very next day. Alfredo and Todd brought their friends Krisis and Rick along, a girl named Laura, and a pile of her friends. But Laura’s friends mostly kept to themselves and eventually ceased to exist on account of no one really noticing them.
   And then Todd did resent Krisis. Because later on him and Fishis is chatting it up.
   Suddenly, in the midst of Todd’s resentment, a giant levitating fish nonchalantly emerged from the nearby mists of fountain, and did tell young Todd to get over it because everyone knows that any girl within his proximity is destined to like Alfredo. But young Todd still wants to give it a shot, so superfish rolls its eyes and flies away.
   Elsewhere in the Spectrum, that glorious centre of human civilization that shines like a beacon in the centre of otherwise apathetic Orange County, someone looks into the air and exclaims "its a herring! its a cod! I don't know but its a large levitating fish with a cape!"
   And at that moment Superfish winked at that noble person, and they did faint and fall into the west-side fountain. Upon them Fishis later trips up when she runs through that fountain, but Alfredo does not cause he only pretended to wade through the fountain, and neither does Krisis for at that time he was sitting atop an ATM machine, but this all comes later.
   Back to our previous line of chronologic progression, however; Alfredo was going on his fourth Triple-espresso, and falling in love with the illusive Diedrich’s employee named "Kzat," who in turn was daydreaming about her eternal love for Jordan. And Kzat, dreaming of her lost love Jordan, was so distracted that she gave espresso-crazed Alfredo a cup of tea for free. This, however, clinched his love for her and caused him to swear a vow of eternal love for her.
   Just as the situation looked like it couldn't get any more wack: as Alfredo sipped his tea and pined after Kzat, and Kzat waited on a fat man named Bubba while dreaming of Jordan, Krisis and Fishis chatted happily about their mutual love of cheese danishes, and Todd plotted cruel revenge on Krisis for stealing his woman...
   ...some nearby shrubbery burst into flame, distracting all! ...well not Alfredo, he went on pining. But all others stood aghast. And Todd stood up and started to scream, a shrill girly scream. Soon the shrubbery was all burnt up. And Fishies started weeping: “that was my favourite shrubbery!” she did exclaim. And before the hallowed lion statues which have long stood beside the food court there was soon naught but ash.
   Fortunately, a shrubber happened along. All rejoiced as he set about reshrubbing, and Fishis started to fall in love. In the ensuing confusion young Todd did tell Fishis’ friend Summer to get his number in a peculiar way. And that caused much controversy, and much confusion. So Fishis fell in love with the shrubber, and Summer fell in love with Fishis, but then quickly fell out of love. She listened to superfish; she heard his voice from a distance, as in a dream. But young Todd did continue to love Fishis, and Todd was very immature being jailbait and all. ...Alberto loved Kzat and Kzat loved Jordan. And Krisis, he loved cheese danishes.
   But then the ground did tremble and the vile beast Molzy appeared, with an insatiable appetite for men. And all did tremble. Especially Rick, whom she referred to as “grade A meat.” And then they did flee from the evil wench Molzy.
   While in exile at the other end of the Spectrum they were, there was running through fountains, and sittings on ATM machines.
   Eventually, from that place, that glorious beacon, the Spectrum, which outshines The Block in Orange in all ways save possession of a Krispy Kremes, our noble adventurers did leave.. and went on for further adventures which you'll hear about later, but not before their nightly trip to Taco Loco, where Rastafarians fed Krisis and Alfredo nachos with shrooms. And it is now a matter of debate as to whether the hallucinations Alfredo had all night thereafter were resultant of his dozen triple espressos, the Rastafarian shroom nachos, or his excessive and unsatiated love for Kzat.
