Enough funny things happen every day I’m bound to forget some of them… But since this is the first online journal entry, I feel volumes of anecdotes are being left out. Oh well. Maybe it’ll improve my awful short term memory. Like, I just realized I forgot to pay my outstanding Stanford University bill. Apparently I owe about 3 pico cents. So, I better pay before they kick me out.

I’m hoping that this journal along with some other “self-improvement” efforts will improve my organization and motivation. Even if no one reads it, I might someday, and realize what a lazy fool I was in college. Except when it comes to riding my unicycle, or listening to music - I’m a champion at that stuff. Although my pedal just got stripped and fell off, so that’ll kinda delay that.

Cosmetic improvement .. er, cosmetic alteration has been a big factor in my life lately. I bleached my hair BLONDE the other day, and have gotten quite a few compliments, and a lot of shocked looks. I put up all 400 christmas lights and the room size halloween spider in our room, so it looks “awesome” according to a passerby who had to visit… A passerby, who, like all but one person now, knows I’m from Colorado. The one exception is Jill, a girl who believes I’m from Pennsylvania - Pittsburg. Why, you ask? Dunno, but I think it went something like this:

Jill: “Where are you from again?”
Me: “You don’t remember?”
Jill: “Oh.. Are you from Pennsylvania too?”
Me: “Um, yes!”

So, accordingly, we have had a lot of fun with that since then. It’s a good thing I said Pittsburg and not Philly - she’s from Philly so I’d probably slip up quickly.

I had to pay 13 cents for a page of paper with a single small “9″ printed on it… I don’t know why my 8 page assignment felt compelled to expand itself to 9 pages, but it cost me big. Oh, that reminds me - I really wish I weighed 13 pounds (or less), but still had the same strength. Think of the jumping you could do!

I think I need some kind of weekly “you-can-count-on-it” features. Well, rather than count on keeping the exact format of the first entry, maybe I’ll try a few things. I’m thinkin’ a quote of the week for starters:

Me: “Ahh.. That’s spit!”
Alex, my RA: “No, its static electricity.”
