Game Night quotes
[Me] Otherwise I'd have to pretend to be 7 little men
----
[Nick] How else would you get "lawn mower" without using like 8 words?
[Andre] Grass cutter.





*this is where you laugh yourself silly before I tell why these things were said*





Context:
The first quote was after my team guessed that I was Snow White in Charades after I prentended to bite an apple and faint.
The second quote was after Nick used a long description for lawn mower (something like "the thing you run over the stuff in front of your house") while playing 25 Words Or Less

Question
Is it weird that I like the scores to action movies?

Work Rant
It irks me how I spent my last 20 minutes or so at work(15 of which was after my shift ended) working on answering and documenting a contact form that came in at 5:40pm. 5:40pm yesterday. Why on earth was I the person to answer it? Six people, excluding myself, worked since it came in. Now I understand getting busy and what not (Jeff being the only lead to come in all day, did have quite a bit to do) but how come no one said that there were 3 unanswered e-mails in our inbox? Yes, THREE. None of which arrived after my shift started and all of them at least looked at by someone. I got to two of them during my shift. I didn't feel like spending an extra half an hour just attempting to understand what this guy was talking about (something about password protecting his site for his students). At that point, I had already put in an hour and 15 minutes of extra time at work. And that's on top of an eighteen hour work week. But you know what I did instead? I wrote a note on a sticky saying there was an unanswered e-mail and put it on one of the monitors for whoever opened on Monday so that way they could get to it.

You know what? Sometimes I hate having a strong sense of responsibility.

Why not? It's not like anyone reads this but me

5. What was your first impression?
6. Do you still think that way about me now?
7. What do you think my weakness is?
8. Do you think I'll get married?
9. What makes me happy?
10. What makes me sad?
11. What reminds you of me?
12. If you could give me anything what would it be?
13. How well do you know me?
14. When's the last time you saw me?
15. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't?
16. Do you think I could kill someone?
17. Describe me in one word.
18. Do you think our friendship is getting stronger/weaker/or staying the same?
19. Do you feel that you could talk to me about anything and I would listen?
20. Do you want me to fill this out for you?

Something interesting happened tonight
But I'm not telling you til later, hah! (yes, I am evil)

So this morning I bumped my head twice. The first was when I was coming out from under my desk and came up too early. The second was when I was putting my backpack in Meghan's trunk. When she got in, the car went down ever so slightly and the trunk bumped into me.

Then after work I twisted my ankle while walking down three steps. Ouch. It was odd, after a while, the pain in my ankle went away but I still had pain on the top of my foot whenever I flexed.

Then at Hawthorne, I bumped my head two more times. Once on a bookshelf while spending practically the entire time with this one kid. I have a hard enough time explaining simple-to-me concepts to the English as a first language kids, let alone the English as a second language ones. But anyway...the second bump was getting into the car on the way back.

And tonight was the Honors Program meeting. I would like to start that I find it funny that not a single Honors Club board member was there to show support. But whatever. The bad news that came during the meeting was one of the Honors courses I was planning on taking in Spring got cancelled. The good news came in three parts: 1) I can take this other course in Spring 2) MATH 241, which I took my freshman year, will get me retroactive Honors credit 3) a completed senior project counts as one Honors course. This was very good news because once I take these two Honors courses in Spring, I'm done with Honors courses. And here I though I would trouble taking 8 courses! My night concludes with me being brought home in a police car.

A woman after my own stomach (Law & Order quote)
[Jack] I didn't know what you liked so I got you a salad. Low cal dressing.
[Abbie] Low cal?
[Jack] What?
[Abbie] I burn if off. (something to that effect)
[Abbie] What did you get?
[Jack] Ribs.
[Abbie (taking the ribs)] Sounds great. I'll eat, you graze.

Game Night!
Tonight was Math Club game night. I got there about 40 minutes late because of running late at work and then stopping at home for a few things. But there were a lot of people there including two professors: Dr. Wolf and Dr. Patton. I played Cranium for about the first 2 hours. That was fun, I hadn't played that version before. I was on a team with Melissa, Andre and Ian (we won). Then those of who played that game (there was also some scategories and scrabble going on) either talked for a bit or left. The rest of us afterward played Taboo and some other people arrived. I was probably overly tense/competitive during that. I can't help it, in some games I just get into that competitive mode. I think everyone had fun with it despite my dictorialness (is that even a word?). Anyway, good times were had by all. I was up for some more but everyone else was taking off.

Now I'm contemplating this beach clean up/BBQ with Honors tomorrow. I don't need any community service hours but a BBQ sounds like fun. I guess I'll play by ear tomorrow. I should be working on Linear Algebra and get it out of the way so I can study for Combinatorics test on Tuesday but I also want to need to finish this logic puzzle Bridget got me stated on at work. I almost had it but fucked up at one point so now I need to start over. Going to that now.

Grrrr
My Linear Algebra professor changed the last assignment that was turned in after I had originally wrote it down. He added one problem to one section and I got 5 points off for not having it. Grrrr. This is the problem with posting the problems on the internet, he can change them at any time. Bah I say, Bah!

Last Softball Game
It went pretty well. We actually got to play as we had 5 girls (although one left at 6) and 9 guys. Although we were the visitors, boo. I liked their first pitcher. Mainly because all she pitched was balls ;-). She walked the first four people. We were very excited that we scored a run in the first inning. Anywho, I got on base a couple times, but only made it to second once. *EDIT* I lied, I made it to third and as I was running home, we got out third out. Although the only times I got on base was due to walks. I think we mostly learned to watch for good pitches ;-).

I liked the umpire. His name was Justin and I actually knew him from playing with Poly Reps in the spring. So he and Randy were friends. He was a very "liberal" umpire. I'm not sure if that's the right word for it. But some would be strikes he called as balls and actually gave the ties to the runner.

Regardless of all this, we still lost but we played our best game yet. Actually, if you comibine our scores from our previous official games and that was our score tonight (aka 8). I think Leia's boyfriend Jared hitting a home run with two people on helped a lot in that category. But the other team got 18 so, yeah. They, having yet to lose a game, are going to the playoffs whereas we are done for the quarter. Ah well, it was most definitely fun while it lasted =).

I think I will look into starting a volleyball team for next quarter. Although I want my classes finialized first which is a whole other issue. But yeah, volleyball should be fun. Plus it doesn't require as many people. (Watch, we'll still forfeit). So yeah, note to self, look into this.

About my Halloween costume
[Meghan] Well, how are you going to play it? Sexy? Psychotic?
[Me] I don't know. I guess I'll be going as myself.
*short pause*
[Me] So bitchy I guess.
[Meghan between fake coughs] Wasn't going to go there.
