so why not pollute 'em, right?

i'm going to holland tomorrow with ember and sarah, where we're gonna meet up with zoe.

in other news, being in the dorms here is just like being in the dorms at home, except in french and without RA's. i guess there are more differences than that, too. like here, it's normal for 30 year old grad students to live in the same halls as 18 year old undergrads from guadelupe. and people actually use the kitchenette down the hall. theres one lady, though, who is in there for every meal and is extremely condescending. shes like the queen of the kitchenette, or something. the other day, i was boiling potatoes to make potato salad, and she chuckled at me for not doing it right...for not boiling potatoes the right way. last time i checked boiling food was one of the easiest tasks in cooking. on the other hand, i once miss-boiled a chicken so i can't really talk. (for those who don't know, when boiling chicken: if the water has all boiled off, it's gone too long, when the chicken has all boiled off, your roommates hate you because your house smells like smoked, warmed-over ass).

as far as things that are the same: a couple nights ago i woke up to a laugh that could've been taryns or hethers. the similarity was uncanny. first i thought i was dreaming, so i just stayed put for a sec. she laughed again and i was halfway through telling darius to get his shirt before i realized i wasn't in kansas anymore. i went into the hall anyhow, just to see if maybe it was taryn. it's been a while since i've seen her, so i kinda got my hopes up... it turns out taryn laughs with an island accent. she kept my hopes up when she asked for help with english homework.

it was going well for a while, then i realized i don't know english grammar so i couldn't explain why, i could only say "just because"...then i started doubting myself, 'cause on top of not knowing grammar, i don't speak english so well in general. luckily, just as she noticed my ineptitude, sunday-night-porn came on. that distracted her long enough to plant a sloppy wet kiss and make my escape. unfortunately, she lives right across the hall from me...unfortunately?

some girls make better alarm clocks than alarm clocks.
