A pain in the neck

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

I’ve hardly been able to sleep at all this week because of my stupid neck. :( *deadzorz* It’s even been stupid-hard to simply move and walk around. Then, take for example the other day, I couldn’t even rip open a packet of noodles because it hurt so much. x_x It’s like borderline migraine pain that reaches stabby migraine pain every so often. Ridiculous. I can’t even think straight.

jodie: *whining*
jeff: I’d give you a back rub, but I’m afraid that you’d bite me.
brady: Oh! There’s a trick to that. See, you need to let her sniff your fingers first so that she’ll get used to your scent!

Harry Potter is Crack

Friday, August 3rd, 2007

jodie: *innocently reading The Last Unicorn at the bus stop*
random guy: OMG! You’re like, the first person I’ve seen who hasn’t been reading Harry Potter!
jodie: *looks up and says guiltily* I sort of finished that a week ago.
random guy: ARG! What do they do?! Line the pages of those books with crack?
jodie: Now that you mention it…

Then there’s today. I was on the phone with a guy from LA. I’m walking him through how to get FTP access to a special spot on our server so that he can give us large images for print…

jodie: *is saying the numbers/letters of the password clearly… and then…* Okay, the next bit is ZED-ZED.
guy: Wait, wtf? oO;
jodie: *dawns on her* I mean, ZEE-ZEE. XD
guy: Oh! Okay!

Silly Americans. :]

Booby Traps

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

Last night Brady went to bed, and I was up trading pokemon with people in PokeWifi. So I was sitting there in bed, laptop on my lap along with my DS. I’d just finished trading a Venonat at about 1:30 am when…

brady: *sits up then gets on all fours, mumbling* *continues mumbling then crawls on top of jodie’s legs at peers at her from behind the laptop, looking kind of scared*
jodie: o___O; *confused* What?
brady: *mumbling* There’s booby traps…
jodie: *even more confused* Booby traps? Where?
brady: Everywhere!
jodie: There aren’t any booby traps.
brady: Yes there are.
jodie: *isn’t going to argue that since Brady is obviously sleep walking* You should lie back down.
brady: *lies back down, but keeps on making weird little whining noises*
jodie: *puts everything away and snuggles Brady* Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.

Cue sleep.

Such a strange guy. I wouldn’t have him any other way. I wish I had a dime for every time he’s dreamt he was Batman though… with his ninja throwing star things.

First day back

Wednesday, September 6th, 2006

Things that I learned today:

  • Hanging out at a bar until 1 am-ish and then not getting to sleep until around 2 am isn’t the smartest thing I’ve ever done, but was it ever fun. :] Happy birthday Colin! Drinking is bad, mmkay?
  • Scott lives three blocks away from me. oO; I ran into him this morning while walking to ACAD.
  • I liked seeing people again!
  • I have Alison for Typography, and she’s cool, though I sort of already knew her vaguely since she visited Elaine a lot last year.
  • I actually know quite a few people in my block and am aiming to coll… no, that sounds too Pokemon. BLAH.
  • Art supplies are expensive. (Okay, so I’ve always known that.)
  • Marker paper is incredibly sexy.
  • I can’t get the wireless at school to work for my DS. D:
  • It’s terribly easy to pick out who is a first year now. I wonder if I was like that. I keep wanting to walk up to them, latch on, and ask, “Can I keep you?” which would probably scare them… but it’d amuse me to no end.
  • I don’t think I’m ever going to live down crawling into that dryer.
  • All of my classes (in both the first semester and second), save for the lectures, are in 552. It’s an okay room. I’m just slightly worried about going stir crazy from being in the same place day after day.
  • Tiiiiired.

You know you are in art school when…
