Tell Me Why...

I don't like Mondays, I want to shoot the whole day down ... . So now that I've made an obscure reference to the Boomtown Rats lets get started. Based on my poll you guys were most interested in randomness, then my roommates, and finally my girlfriend. So in no particular order:

I live with four people and have known them since freshman year. Chris, my actual roommate, and I met when we were freshman and were randomly assigned to the same room. After that we decided to stay together and lived together in a different room the next semester. Alex and Ryan have also been roommates for the past four years living in the same room for two years before we all moved in to our current suite. Ryan is a financial economics major, head of the economic council of majors or some other one, and works at an internship two days a week. Alex is a mechanical engineer and soccer player. Lastly my roommate Chris is a visual arts major. He's pretty good and some of his drawings are crazy if he ever uploads them somewhere I'll try to link them here. I'm an INDS/Biology double major with my INDS in biopsychosocial health in case you were wondering. Overall we're quite a motley crew with a wide spread of interests/aspirations.

My girlfriend is Amanda, or the girl formerly known as Ashley. She lives two floors below me and goes to the same school so we see each other fairly frequently. She's also a math major with a teaching certificate and is overall a very motivated, interesting and intelligent person. She received the fewest votes so that's all on her.

Randomness.
The students at my school once took over the Administration building with a list of demands, culminating in our "free hour". Although frog hearts only have 3 chambers their is almost no mixing of oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood. Thought I lost it there for a second the keyboard had a moon key and it put the computer to sleep. Why is there no animated brown M&M? There are all the others yellow, green, blue, red, orange but no brown I have ever seen even in the M&M store in new york. Also skarmory no longer learns roost as an egg move in the new (Black & White) pokemon games. Fortified wine is wine that has had another alcohol added to it, and I have failed the same magic card trick in front of my family four consecutive times (I haven't attempted it since).

I'm Back

So i know it's been forever and a lot of things have changed since I last posted, but after discovering I had 48 page views (including my own) I decided I had to come back.

I have recently started battling some friends in pokemon white, and am trying to figure out how to upload my battles to youtube and this blog, but it's too complex for me to worry about it right now. I'm mostly developing pokemon and EV training them not worrying about natures or IVs because I play on a cartridge and don't have all that time. I've had a couple battles four with Richard, but the first one was before either of us had beaten the game, excluding this one its 2-1 me but the battles are very close and competitive. I have also attempted to battle my roommate several times but the connection always drops before I can finish him off. I might post some more about my pokemon if I feel like it.

I've also started a nuzlocke run of pokemon Emerald, but it probably won't last too long because the only pokemon I have found are Poochyna and my starter and all are weak to the first gym. For those who don't know a Nuzlocke run involves 2 rules: only catching the first pokemon you encounter in an area if it runs or you kill it you can't catch anymore pokemon in that area, and if a pokemon faints you must release it or retire it to a PC box labeled Heaven never to be used again.

So for those of you who don't know me or don't talk to me very often you might not know that I currently live with 3 other guys in suite on campus. This should have worked out pretty well but due to some drama and one roommate and another roommate's girlfriend things have been intense. Essentially I am the only person in the suite that is still talking to everyone else there and this can get tense. It's also unfortunate that because of this I'm rooming with completely random people next year.

Recently I've been noticing dramatic shifts in how much I like certain people and how considerate and friendly they are. For example my friend Richard has been talking to me a lot lately and is a really cool guy. However my roommate and one of my suite-mates have been drinking almost every Thursday night. While I don't care if people drink I am the only person in our suite with Friday classes so when they come in shouting at 3am in the common room I'm the one who has to suffer through it. Then on Friday I work in the dark all day because they spent all night partying and won't wake up until around 2 o'clock.

Oh and I'm reading a Tale of Two Cities; the book is crazy.
