G.D. idiots and their lighters!

It pisses me off. Some people should be dragged out in the street and shot (verbatim from one of my family's sayings when we're peeved)

Seriously, check out the pictures. This was done at 4am (heard through the grapevine) and it just makes me mad. Why someone would intentionally try to burn us down is beyond me!


The first two pictures are from one of the 1st floor wings. The bulletin board where you post the announcements for the campus (apparently they burned them all) and there is the floor where it looks like the burning papers must have fallen down and singed the carpet while they smoldered.








The red paper pushed over is another bulletin board that had been covered up to hide the burning marks - UGH.


The pile of magazines is in the front lobby near the Oak front desk and it seems they tried to get the stack set on fire (which is incidentally next to a flammable sofa and a wooden beam within the lobby).






Why can't people respect others and not try to kill us? From what I know (as I was up til 5am) I didn't hear a fire alarm - so the damage and fire scare may not be as bad as I think - but it barely makes me feel better. I'd like to know why someone tried to burn us down - as I've heard over and over again, it only takes about 5 minutes for a whole dorm room to be up in flames.

OMG

k, 1st draft is up and runnin. I now know too much 'bout the internet dialect, or "chat speak". I am going googly eyed, but I *do* have that first draft!!

Listening to: Once in a Lifetime" by Talking Heads.

Lights are off. Window is open, computer being all glowy and I have my door open behind me. People are hanging out in certain rooms and most are gone for the weekend. Everything is nice and slow - and I have a belly full of hotwings from Pizza Hut :P

My rough draft - VERY rough. I am hoping I knew what I was talking about. It's been about 3 years since I had rhetoric! But, I found articles from my class and other times.

Jeremy came in and teased me about posting pictures of my desk again... i need new material huh? hmmmmmm.....There. My other eye image that washed out. I look very tired... hehe and why my eyes were that green that day, who knows.

Day 1 comes to a close at 1am sharp

Yep, going to bed early... early for me ;-)
I have read through my earlier articles and find I have a lot to say on the subject on "chat speak" or "1337" language, or even the later version influenced and influencing - "txt"ing.

I have tons of links I'll throw into my blog after I have my paper written and will see if I can post that too. It is a very interesting topic for me since I have been there for most every step it has gone through - from the first days of Doom "chat" and mIRC to MSN messanger then to the txt messages on my phone and now learning another set of "chat" rules as I learn to play Guild Wars in the last few weeks.

Composition Test #1

Ah yeah, I am listening to Butthole Surfers, eating Crunch'nMunch, a couple fruit drinks in the fridge - including frappucinos - and some other snacks are around for my grazing pleasure.
Day #1 is going well - I did stay up too late last night, 2:30 after working library and coming home to make sure my computer was up to par after being rewired-and so I was tired when I woke up this morning to check my topic: Chat Speak.

I got up at 9am and e-mailed an RSVP and then did some research for articles on my own computer and printed out some I needed. Took my shower, grabbed D and went to lunch at Wallys. After lunch I walked with him to the Academic buildings and I went to the library from noon - 3pm and he and I walked back after he worked.

By this time, though, I was totally the walking dead. Felt all light and sleepy - so took my normal nap - 'cept it turned into my normal nap+2. I slept until 5:15pm! Ugh.

But, I'm awake and slowly becoming conscious of my surroundings (which, is terrible cuz I haven't washed clothes and I was interrupted doing so yesterday and so clothes are all over my floor) and ready to run to Wally's for dinner and then come back to work the rest of the night. I have a lot of reading to do.




Here's a day-time photo of my computer I took this morning. It now has pink guts!!! hehe It looks good :-) My fairy, however, is buried behind wires and may need to be extracted by gentle means.

Pictures - Yay computer works hhehe

Here are the pictures I have been taking recently. The first is the new and improved computer... glowy as ever and looking good. Can't see the glowy red stuff though, which is too bad. Looks all 3-D now - different.

Also, the other three pictures are from the gorgeous snow storm we had yesterday or day before - can't remember hehe

Pictures are turning out better and better tho - I think.

I am debating

Whether I want to keep that Nadeen blog or not. It just seems to be a waste of space for what little time I'll use it - what's left but a couple months. Perhaps I could make certain posts all in italics within this one to suggest a change in persona - instead of making a whole other space.

It is pretty however.

I brought all my stuff for my thesis today, nothing else but the DVD Airplane. I always have to have that backup plan, don't I?

Also, I and D went to eat and stopped at Blockbuster, they had his new case. That sucker is huge! I feel it has *just* as much bling as mine.... just in a manly way ;) Oh, and N at Asgard told me that she got to hear about my case (I'm famous) and wished she'd been there. I may hafta find something else wrong with it and bring it in hehehe

They need to update their website, I would do it for them if they wanted! For some favors back with my compy.. of course hehehe

You may have noticed

I did revamp my whole website. Call it procrastination, call it cleaning house, call it bored... whatever it is, it is mine and now I am happy. I may mess with it more, but I personally like the cleaner look.

However, I would rather be next door right now so I think I will walk away finally and go seek out D. He keeps popping in here off and on to talk to me but I was so engrossed in the blog that I didn;t pay much attention. And it's getting later, so I need to go snuggle his butt before he goes to bed. He's starting to look like I do at 2am - MY bedtime.
