Y'all getting crazy on the Faux Lokos and Roman Cokes?

With a horse-meat dish
I had to stay in the freezer
All Thursday eve
Talkin' to that horse" -The Dead Milkmen

5am already? Why do my friend's non-prescription glasses make my eyesight worse?

Turkey dinner with a roommate. How the heck can a 10 pound turkey cost $7?

What's around the corner?

Epic riding with a roommate. Schaeffer Farm in Germantown, MD.

Dude, what the balls is going on?

I haven't figured out how to enjoy bars yet, beyond the enjoyment I get from leaving the apartment and doing something in real life. This might have something to do with the fact that I've managed to embarrass myself or take a self-esteem hit the only few times I've entered one of College Park's classy bars. One time, a few bros surrounded me and a female who was wearing a similar shirt (see Freddy Krueger) and chanted "dance!" *Sigh* I probably tried to "dance." I can't imagine how awkward that must have looked. Later on, a guy came up to me and said "don't kill me, Freddy Krueger!" Damn, that's the third person who said that. Whatever. I like this shirt and at least I can attack people in their dreams.

I'm alone. I'm drinking water because buying $5 drinks got old fast. I don't want to be here anymore. I don't want to watch dudes grind on girls. I just wanna cuddle and talk about life. But the chances of that happening seem slim. Why do I have to be the least attractive person in my social circle? Why didn't Odin bless me from birth with good looks and general coolness? I need to find my scene, or any scene.

A random girl came up to me and said "I don't want to talk to you." Which was strange because I didn't try to talk to her or even make eye contact.

I spotted a few other Feddy Kruegers as the night progressed.

Who wants to do some pull ups on this Iron Gym?

Late night hunger.

Looking at Ford trucks and listening to David Allan Coe.

Can I go to the bathroom? I don't know, can you?!

Biking high + new music high = a good high.

Please excuse the pictures of me. I'm trying to learn how to ice skate and roller blade. Maybe someday I'll be Kimmie Meissner's doubles skating partner. If anyone ever feels like skating (or doing anything), let me know. The last few people I've asked declined, or were extra kind and gave me an interesting story about how they almost died skating.

My brother was trying to imitate a nearby figure skater.

Cross-training with roller blades. I'm slowly improving.

My first fun computer science class, computer graphics, is coming to a close. Sad. I hope I can get into game programming for spring semester. Funniest part of computer graphics class: implementing each of the projects'/games' physics took many times more hours than the graphics code. <3 you Quaternions.cpp

The service fraternity awarded me with the "most likely to join the circus" superlative.
