names changed to protect the innocent:
topkai22: "Jhoana likes Parker, but Parker likes Julie. But Julie lives in France.
France is a bad place to keep a girl, as I know "tous au puits"
and they're all just one person off
Catherine101484: haha
Catherine101484: more more
Catherine101484: why are you not doing more
Catherine101484: susie wants me to tell you that she loves you
topkai22: Tommy likes girl, Katie her name;
Katie likes Tommy too, but can't see past her work;
So Tommy's left standing alone, thinking he has no game.
Katie should pack her bags and come with him up North; But Tommy'll just have to drink away the fact that he's met a dearth; And hope to God that some day she just comes back down to earth
Catherine101484: wow that is good
Catherine101484: and cute
Catherine101484: and sad
topkai22: yeah, I'll rework yours. It's hard to do, cause I don't want to include some wild guess work
Catherine101484: like what
topkai22: Anything having to do with Jane. Except
"Jane like Dick, but his name says it all;
she really should just pass;
it up and move on to more fruitful grounds;
or at least give up on him and make the rounds
Catherine101484: haha
Catherine101484: read my profile
topkai22: sweet
Catherine101484: haha
topkai22: i should save these
Catherine101484: you should
topkai22: hmmm, let's see, Garret and Susie...
topkai22: Susieh likes Garret, and Garret likes Susie;
but garret is the strong, silent type you see;
Susieh likes a more active type, more than Garret tends to be;
so they'll just pass in the hall, looking longingly
topkai22: damn, I'm on fire
topkai22: not really.
Catherine101484: yes you are

I have to add something before I go to sleep tonight: during awards the football team gives the player of the week on offense defense and special teams a tee-shirt, and then the player of the week gives the tee-shirt to another team member that helped them this week. Today Jeff Manasacro (sorry bout the spelling) won the offense award, and choose to give his tee shirt to me, because I "work hard everyday on both sides of the line." I then got what I think was one of the biggest applauses of the year. I don't know why the team cheered hard, but thanks guys. It means a lot to me to have recognized, even if just for a moment.

So I had the football practice of my LIFE today. I made an interception on def, blocked the shit out of EVERYONE on off. It was great until Vinny Fazio, the great jackass he is, got pissed at the fact he was playing like shit today and decided to take out his agression on me. With a 15 yard head start (we have it on film) he cheap shots me in the back, totally lays me out and almost takes out Randy Deming's knees. I have NEVER in 12 YEARS of playing football seen such an act of unsporstman like conduct. WITHIN MY OWN TEAM. Right now I'm trying to convince myself not to try to blow out Vinny's knees tomorrow. That man does not deserve his jersey.


On other news, I think ChunkyString is finally done!

topkai22: i WANTED to be able to leave monday, but nooooo, my profs said I had to come to claaassssss. Assholes.
Bugmers: that sucks! You should sue
topkai22: I think I could make a good case against this school for emotional scaring
topkai22: hell, I could probably turn it into a class action law suit
Bugmers: maybe you could get enough money to pay for tuition :-)

Holy crap, ChunkyString really is as bad as everyone said it would be.

In other news, I think I am now organizing "CMS Stags vs. 1000 beers." 60 Stags, 1000 beers, a couple of hours. Can they do it?

We are looking for people to sponsor us in our fight against those beers.


One more week till I'm home for a bit... sweet.

Why the hell does pitzer have free ranging chickens? I'm sure there is a good joke I can make from this, but I'm still in shock from the sheer absurdity of it.

BTW, I did survive the E&M test. My grade is still in the ICU though. The prognosis isn't good.

Top 5 signs the apocolypse is coming (in order of occurance):
1.) Arnie is governer.
2.) "leaping"
3.) Ash falls from the sky, day becomes like night, and the nights glow read.
4.) Seattle is 6-3 and leading the division
5.) Claremont is hit by a second great deluge (with lightining!)

So last night I was hanging out at CMC with some guys from the team, and somehow we drunkly got looking at pictures of some victoria's secret model on the net. At this point three scrippsie friends of mine come into the room, looking to hang out. I am of course accomodating and chat with them, but the rest of the guys remain oogling at the computer screen. Rather quickly, the scrippsies get bored with my company and start trying to gain the notice of the other players. They start mocking the pictures on screen, grabbing their bosums and leaning over substantially, then devolve into grinding with each other, and eventually lesbian kissing. All the while they CMC guys remain fixed on their comptuer screen. Pathetic if you ask me.

I'm really sick of fucking up. Some how, no matter what it is I am doing, I fuck up. It pisses me off. In class I mess up on tests, in football I miss blocks and tackles, and espicially in relationships I mess something up. I wish for once something in my life would work out without going all pear shaped first.

So Claremont right now looks like something out of the apocolypse. Everything is covered in ash, you can a see a glow in the sky whenever it gets midly dark, everyone is walking around in surigical masks. They are starting to evacuate the northern part of town (< 1 mile away from me), and somebody said godzillia just came up out of the sea at long beach.
I feel like I'm living in a disaster movie.

so. Instead of sleeping I spent all night trying to figure out why I only had my computer only had channels of sound on my 6 channel speaker system. Turns out that the those other channels of sound don't work so well WHEN THEY AREN"T PLUGGED IN...

I've spent the rest of the morning watching back to the future movies.

I think I know why the US war in Iraq went so well:

That's right. The commander of US Army forces in Iraq is Gen. William Wallace. Now, I just wonder if woad was distrubuted to troops prior to combat...

So time to write again:
The work at Mudd still sucks.
My dorm still rocks.
Hex sucks for frosh (don't ask).
My brother visited me at Mudd (once again, BAD LESLIE) and it we had fun sitting around not doing much. Oh, and he hit on a 22 year old, which was hillarous. Sad thing was it almost worked.
I saw Lonna yesterday, the prefroshies are out at Scripps. Mudd's prefrosh weekend is just two days away. And then till I can tell all those prefroshies that Mudd is a vile place, an evil place, that dangles the carrot of freetime with lots of cool people while beating you with the stick of homework. Or maybe I'll just whirl em. Who knows.

So I was looking through the pre-frosh admits and I noticed one of them is from Klahowya. 5 bonus points if anyone can name who it is. (Hint- He is incredibly annoying)

So, despite having to physically threaten people with a my bulging muscles and big stick, I succeded in getting a room in Slouch suite during mock draw. I'm willing to go through on those threats to eleminate the possibility of having children,ever, from those who take Slouch suite. Even the girls. Although I think I'd need a non-blunt instrument with them. More room draw updates tomrrow.

PS- my brother (Alex) comes to campus tomorrow! I'm exicted! I can make him clean my room!

You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the swill hold the Americas Cup, France is accusing the United States of arrogance, and Germany doesn't want to go to war...- from Marguriettes profile.

.: posted by Topper 6:54 PM


Emily, since you didn't give me the chance to reply: I was not referring to the war (although most actually do seem to support it. I'm undecided still) I was referring to the US population's view on the government as a whole. Many, if not most, people in the US think too much of there role in the government. You know me, I'm an 19th century throwback. Representatives should be allowed to govern, and govern for what is best for the country. Of course neither the people nor the governing seem to like this view very much... (poorly constructed but I'm on the run.)

Anyways- The US is definatly a Republic, not a democracy. Perhaps a democratic republic at worst. Hence the founding father's talk of republician virtue, etc... You comparision to the PRC was cheap and uncalled for. They might have the structure of a republic, but they fall short in the suffarge area. PS- Iraq is a supposedaly a democratic republic too...

I'm up at 5:43 AM PST. Why? Cause Hans's friend Erin, better known as naked guy, is on campus again after getting banned from it twice in the last year. First, Naked Guy and the upperclassmen enjoy a full night of drunken revelery while I work on, well, school work. Normally this doesn't annoy me a bit, but naked guy is sitting right outside me room screaming out the lines to hip hop songs, which are being played on a speaker inside backhall about 10 feet from my door, all of which gets echoed and amplified by the nature of backhall's design. So that sucks, but they stop by the start of quiet hours (4 AMish) However, at around 4:01 AM, Naked Guy pisses off his host Hans. I don't know why, I think it had something to do with him peeing on something of Hans's. It doesn't really matter. So for about an hour, hour and a half, I'm listening to naked guy and Hans yell at each other through Hans's door, which is about 10 feet from my own door. For some reason, unbeknownest to me, Naked Guy decides to house down Keller's, Hans's, and lil' Nick's, and consequentaly all of backhall, rooms with a fire extinguishar. This sets off the fire alarm. So, I ended up standing outside with about 15 other people who are standing outside at 5:30 AM in the morning, coughing up fire extinguisher powder, and basically standing in line to tell campus security who naked guy is and where he ran off to. Naked Guy better hope that Camp Sec finds him before he comes wandering back up here. Cause I'll be looking for something big and heavy to hit him with next time I see him.

Okay, I'm too lazy to do an actual update, so here is my AIM profile. Which is kind of like a blog:
Official harvey mudd GPA- 1.0.

You know what, I'm sick of people calling the United States of America a democracy. The USA is NOT a democracy. It is a republic. That is why Bush really is President. That is why voting for senators and representatives is actually important. And that is why this country works, cause true democracy is essentially the formalized version of mob rule.

Supposedly at Mudd, the hardest three semesters are the first three, with the third topping them all. Last Friday marked to midway point of the second semester semester. I'm halfway through hell, with three quarters left to go. Wish me luck

Hey, check this out: http://www.musiccdsettlement.com/english/ It is a site meant to distribute the monies of a 100+ million dollar lawsuit against the record industries. If you fill out a form the record companies will send you $5-20 in repentence for screwing you over when you bought a CD. Pretty nifty, huh?
