the rest of today

Working on the Cedar Point entry. I'll public it when it's done.

Took out my ponytails and went for Greek food with kw and eli tonight, and played Starfarers and Apples to Apples in the lounge with people. Noble ducked out of Starfarers, which is uncharacteristic for him. We called the game after an hour. Remembered to give the something I had for Martin to him, but forgot to give the something I have for jcreed him. Which I guess is ok, as I might never see Martin again after Sunday, but will see Jason all summer.

Should go get my Cedar Point film developed tomorrow... wonder if I can find a decent one-hour place around here.

The Cedar Point Story

Even if you usually do not read my long entries, you really should read this one. It is the most entertaining thing that has happened to me in a really long time. Or, at least read it if you'll be seeing me in person any time and asking "So how was Cedar Point?" because I'm sure you don't really want me to go on for a few years about the trip, really.

My love affair with my scanner

My Cedar Point Pictures. WHEE!

Random pictures from April and May that include Cornerstone and Miroslav's concert, Brad's DDR birthday, my birthday outfit (you all HAVE to see this picture), and a lot of pictures of Bailey, dlatimer's adorable cat.

AAAAAAAAAGH I don't know what Photothumb is doing, but tell me if these work for you now. Also, Christina Dinwoodie ought to get an LJ account... (she helped me troubleshoot the links)

fried day

Okay, so the first thing is that LJ didn't update my Cedar Point entry's post time, that is, since I public'ed it a day after I started it, many people didn't see it. So, if you want to read about Cedar Point, go here. Thanks. It is a good story. Sort of. I promise.

The second thing is what I did today. I went for greek food with Carl for lunch. It was the last day of the Greek Food Festival and I nearly missed my last chance to get moussaka (they had 3 pieces left by the time I got there at 1:40). They didn't have pasta flora for dessert though - I was very sad. Then I drove with Carl to Squill to get my Cedar Point and etc pictures developed (the ones that I posted scans of in my last entry). During the hour it took them to be developed, Carl and I went to B&N for a bit and I got a copy of Homer Price! Because we were talking about it at lunch due to the nature of Krispy Kreme and their gigantic donut-making machine, and we couldn't remember the book name with the donuts and all the other stuff, but a lady at B&N helped me find it. Also, you know, when I went to type B&N just now I typed D&B by accident. Anyway. After the bookstore, CARL TAUGHT ME HOW TO PARALLEL PARK! YAY FOR CARL! I just want you to all stop and realize how cool that is of him. So we went to a side street in Squirrel Hill and I practiced lining up with cars and parallel parking behind them. We found a nice spot where there were two cars about 24 feet away from each other, which is the distance I believe I have to fit into for the actual driving test. Hopefully I'll get to go try out the barrels and all at some point soon.

After getting the pics back I went to campus and hung out at the Black Friday TG a little. I got to see Sean Slattery, who was my 15-211 TA and who is an all-around awesome guy and who is in town for graduation. Yay! I saw many other friends. I saw Robin, whose Cedar Point trip I was originally going to tag along with, and I told her all about our trip and showed her my pictures. She was like "Did you go on Millennium Force? That is my favorite roller coaster ever," and I was like "I did, and my friends played a nasty trick on me and got a picture of me cowering in fear on it!" I hung around for a while until people started clearing out and then Eli and I went upstairs for a while and then I drove to Monroeville. I bought a plastic thingy of drawers at OfficeMax, which I hope to use to make my room a little more organized. But rather than set it up immediately when I got home, I decided to scan pictures for a while. I am so bad. Also, when I got home, I PARALLEL PARKED BETWEEN TWO CARS ON THE SIDEWALK! YEAH! Now I will go commence cleaning up my room. Yeah. Oh, and in the meantime I gave an invite code to nickjong, so now all of you can pick on him on here too. :)
