I Thought I Was Above These?
I spent basically the entire night after dinner here in McCormick lounge "watching" Firefly, playing Kirby Air Ride, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, various Mega Mans, random nostalgia-inducing SNES games, and then watching Dexter's Laboratory and Whose Line is it Anyway thanks to Jeremy's external harddrive and my soft-modded Wii. Far, far too many asians decide that the morning is the best time to practice the piano. The morning when we're watching things or playing games or trying to listen to music to fill out a stupid quizmeme thing (it's in the cut... also on Facebook). Overall, not a very bad night at all. What we did maybe wasn't all that.. great I guess, but who I was with the entire time were pretty damn awesome. And that's what counts.

Whoo yeah! Yay for gettin' bored at stupid o'clock in the morning and agreeing with Jeremy that it's a good idea to copy Casey and do this stupid thing. Now I gotta clean up everyone's trash here in McCormick because I'm the last one left :(
There is a muffin wrapper with bits of muffin in it beneath this table that I refuse to touch.
Opening Credits: Nintendo - Zero Two (Kirby 64 - Brawl Remix)
-Interesting. Makes better end credits really, but perhaps could be the start to an awesome movie or what have you? Sometimes things seem to start off well but really just fall flat on their face right away (but hopefully pick themselves up as time goes on?).
Waking Up: Foo Fighters - On the Mend
-Nice. Easy on the ears. It's from Side 2 of In Your Honor, so it's all instrumental and slow and awesome. Better than being jolted awake by a loud song. The song is all about being woken up, though definitely in another sense that being disturbed from slumber...
First Day at School: DZK - Haley What's Your Age Again?
-Oh jesus. Come into the new school year hopeful about a girl.. but only to find out she's not really all that great (the young girl in the song could be a metaphor for something else? A girl young in other ways?)
Falling in Love: Yello - Oh Yeah (no lyrics for you, you know this song. It's in Ferris Buehler's Day Off for cryinf out loud. Also, the only lyrics are "Oh" and "Yeah.")
-Oh yeah. Isn't falling in love so great?
First Date: Foo Fighters - Resolve
-A little bit of resolve is what I need now? I guess the first date is when some decisons need to be made (i.e. should I go on "first" impressions or should I keep trying?). Also, let it be known that I am really happy that two Foo Fighters songs popped up in this thing.
Prom: Ratatat - Seventeen Years
-Never went to prom, but I woulda been eighteen years old at the time. Not uncommon to be seventeen at the time I guess. This is really good dance music though, it seems (no lyrics maybe helps?). Proms have dancing, right?
Breaking Up: Social Distortion - Reach for the Sky
-Well, um, that's me. Always reaching for the sky, trying to hold on...
Life's OK: Evanescence - Imaginary
-Hum. I guess life isn't all that OK? I'm just putting on a facade?
Driving: Hans Zimmer - Jack Sparrow
-Orchestral music for driving? Hell yes! It's not too distracting, but it's enough to keep you engaged, especially the Pirates stuff.
Flashback: Running in the 90s
-I am a ninetie's kid!
Getting Back Together: Annie - Chewing Gum
-I would get back together with a girl who would just "spit [me] out when all the flavour is gone..."
Wedding: Lipstick - I'm a Raver (I apologize for not being able to find a better site for lyrics for this song :/)
-Raving is fun? It takes a lot of energy, I'm sure (hence why ravers always require so much water? or is that just from the ecstasy?). I imagine I would put a lot of energy into a potential marriage.
Birth of a Child: Marvin Gaye - Let's get it on
-Well, um, if I've got a child on the way I must have certainly got it on.
Final Battle: The People Fight (Advent Children)
-Fight music for the final battle? GREAT fight music for the final battle? I am very cool with that.
Death Scene: DVDA - America Fuck Yeah!
-Am I going to die fighting for my country?! Crap. I always imagined running away to Canada should the draft be reinstated (I would never enlist otherwise).
Funeral Song: Guitar - How So Bright of Universe (I was unable to find any lyrics sites for this song and I am not awake enough to figure out what the fuck she's saying)
-It's.. not a particularly down song or stupidly upbeat song. It's laidback. I'd hope that people wouldn't be TOO upset at my passing.
End Credits: ASP - Ich Will Brennen
-I want to burn. I always like when movies have particularly rock-y songs in their credits. Also, I really like the chorus:
Ich will brennen, ich will brennen -- I want to burn, I want to burn.
Auch wenn danach nur kalte Asche übrig ist -- And when only cold ashes are left
Ich will brennen, ich will brennen -- I want to burn, I want to burn.
Selbst wenn Du meinen Namen morgen schon vergißt - Even if you've already forgotten my name(s) in the morning
Heißes Licht im Himmelsflug -- Bright light in the sky
Mit dem letzten Atemzug will ich brennen -- With my last breath I want to burn
Ich will brennen -- I want to burn
wollen, auf deutsch, is a verb that means "to want" but with more intent than just wanting, (which is möchten). So, really, I guess it's "I intend to burn." I do intend to burn bright, in the sky (sky could be someone's mind? memories of me?). I want to leave a mark, live a good life, etc. All in all, a good note to end this movie on.

Ugh... Intro to Unix exam Monday night and a Data Networks exam on Devil's Night...
One of the random woot shirts I got is really freaking cute. It's this cute-ass robot sitting on this sloth or something's shoulders. It's a light-gray shirt. Pretty awesome. The other one is an awkward pale-yellow color with... you know this famous painting? Imagine it with squirrels and houses made out of giant acorns behind them. On a sickly pale-yellow color. It's... eh. Mostly it's the color that bothers me, not the graphic...
I am impressed with my laptop speakers. I am sitting here in McCormick lounge at six forty-five in the morn, blasting the music from the thing above and it doesn't sound all that bad. Granted, it could sound a hell of a lot better, but I'm never going to seriously listen to music through these speakers.
I think I might have messed up my foot a bit by walking on couches and tables (like I always do!) instead of around them. I kind of expected the cushion of the couch to be more firm than it was, I guess? and came down and my foot just went out from under me. SOMEHOW I was able to save myself from smashing my face right into the corner of the table due to the loss of balance. I bet I just sprained the thing or something and should therefore take it easy for a bit. It'll probably feel better in the morning. I am able to put all my weight on the thing for like ten seconds before it gets awfully uncomfortable. It's not swelling or anything, so I don't think anything's really wrong, per se.
There is this one girl that I see everywhere on campus. More so than creepy-I'm-going-to-stare-at-Tony-everytime-I-see-him-especially-after-he-gets-out-of-the-shower kid that lives just across the way in North hall! And that's a feat, since I see Sir Creeps-A-Lot all over the place. Something is wrong if I do not see this girl at least once a day. Average sightings per day is nearing the solid number of two. I might like smile at her, nod, say hi, etc., but everything about her is just very... I dunno. She looks kind of plain, I guess, but it's not really that turning me off. It's more the way she holds herself, how she walks slowly, her expressionless face... Is there a person in there? It could be a robot! Stalking me.. waiting for the right moment to DISINTEGRATE ME :shock: At least she doesn't creepily smile at me like creepy-kid, and then laugh a little bit to himself. WHAT THE FUCK DUDE, SERIOUSLY, YOU'RE SCARING ME.
Just seventeen minutes until sunrise! Too bad I'm not on the lake or anything, I'm sure that would look amazing. I need to do that sometime.. go watch the sunrise over Lake Michigan. This is my third year here, you'd think I would have done that already.
Sitting here in McCormick lounge at fuck-you in the morning has caused me to realize.. I have a laptop! I don't have to sit on my room all the time anymore! I mean, not that I had to before, but now I can still be connected.. anywhere! I should sit in lounges more often. Perhaps even MTCC once or twice.
