Kelly Issues
I'm normally a nice person. Really, ask people who know me.
When people are rude to me because I'm a student or a reporter or a minority or whatever, I'm non-chalantly rude in return, but I do it in a nice mocking sort of way where they don't directly see it, but the people who know me well do. I do not have violent tendencies and those that I do have, I keep controlled.
However, in the past two years, I've lived with two people I can't stand. One of them I am happy to say I haven't spoken to him since February and the other, well, I live with the troll. I dont care much to think about King of buttheads, but the troll is the one at issue until June. I do not plan 'revenge' on this fool for making me hate her so much. I will just ignore her. The plain fact that I do not care for her should bother her to the point where she calls her mom nightly and whines about how I torture her with evil looks and glares that I give her through the boundaries of my Web site. I wouldn't even have to open my mouth. I own her. (hypothetically. I would never, in public, say that she is my friend, and at that moment, I would disown her, but yet, I would own her...it's complicated.) I own her environment and I own her discomfort. Muahahahaha. I am pure evil when it comes to mental torture. And what's great about it is that all she will do is whine to her mama and Karin, who I feel sorry for cuz she will have to listen to it all and be nice. See, Karin is a nice person. She should try being evil once in awhile, it's fun.
What I would like to do is find some fool to take over my portion of the lease so I can finally live in peace. I'm a big girl, I should be able to do this. Perhaps I'll look into it.

Troll Issues
Here she is again, except this time she has "space issues." It seems that since I went shopping on Sunday and I have food (not much) that I've taken up her space in the cupboard. Pardon me, but: A. YOU HAD NO FOOD THERE (except peanutbutter, which i moved to the right). B. YOUR NAME DOESN'T ADORN THE CUPBOARD. C. SINCE WHEN HAVE WE HAD CUPBOARD ASSIGNMENTS? and D.WHEN DID YOU BECOME CUPBOARD NAZI? I could kick her short-troll-arse to Canada right now cuz I'm so pissed at her. The nerve!!! And to make it even funnier, she took all 7 items of hers out of the cupboard and put them on the counter, as if there wasn't any room whatsoever. Here is a picture of our cupboard and her food on teh counter. Now, all of my food is on the very top shelf of the top set of cupboards (the cereal isn't mine) and that nice empty spot on the bottom left is where Jamie keeps her 7 items that are sitting on the counter. I guess, because I'm 2 inches taller than her, I have to put my stuff on the top.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Lindi, Jeremiah and Jeana throw the best parties.
This is Kristin, Kelly and Lindi dressed as the Powerpuff girls. Yes, we save the world and fight crime before bedtime. Aren't we just adorable? We think so and so did everyone else. I have tons of photos from this event, including Ron being a human twister board and many others. I'll post them in the morning when I'm more sober.October 28 12:09 pm
Guess what...
Today I am going to have an angry-free day.
It started off by me not having to work from 9am - 2pm at the library (I gave the shift to Stacie). I kind of slept in 11am and I had the funkiest dreams ever. One of them was that there was a guy in our house that was shooting vases (we dont have any vases in our house). Then I woke up and fell back asleep and dreamt I was in a soap opera and that I won a Daytime Emmy.
Then I woke up and saw I got an email from someone I haven't seen/heard from since June of 1997 when we graduated from high school, which made me even more happier. Erin lives in Hawaii now, which gives me hope and faith that the smart people of Visalia really do leave the crappy town.
Today I'm going to read Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for a class. It should take me all of 2 hours. Then I'm going to try to read at least 10 chapters in Bleakhouse and 10 in Great Expectations. Then after that, I'm going over to Kristin's house to be transformed into a Powerpuff girl for Lindi and Jeana's halloween party. Of course, I'm going to have to make an appearence at Julie's (my jour. hero) party. Of course, it's raining right now, how appropriate.

Kelly's on vitamins
That's right, I'm on vitamins. I took a multivitamin around noon and I feel like I'm in a huge funk. I feel like I'm getting the flu - all spacey and hot (my temperature is at 103 right now). Of course, this would only happen to me, the great complainer that I am, but then again, I'm not doing anything for Halloween because I have $3. (I found it in one of my pockets while doing laundry
On a better note, both Jamie and Chris are gone this weekend! Yippeee!!! My wish came true! I get to do homework in the livingroom without being bothered (I can also run directly to the bathroom when/if I have to puke without obstacles in my way).
I cleaned out my fridge and threw out some moldy cheese and moldy something else and smelly tofu and this is what I have to live off of until Christmas (maybe longer if I dont get $$$ from relatives):
4 green onions
1 carton of organic yellow miso
1 carton of rice milk
1 hot dog
1 bottle of oyster sauce
1 bottle of stir fry sauce
1 jar of relish that was once full because Ive never used it, but someone seems to like it more than me and now it's about 1/4 full
1 loaf (15 slices) of whole wheat oatmeal bread
In the cupboard I have:
1 can of coconut thai soup
1 package of Easy Mac
about 3lbs of Japanese rice
1 bottle of rice vinegar
1 bottle of soy sauce
1 bottle of peanut oil
2 small packets of Nutella
7 tins of loose leaf tea
half a package of dry spaghetti noodles
From the looks of this, I will be living off of tea and rice until my xmas.
This will be interesting though. Let's see how many dress sizes I can lose by Christmas. When people ask me what diet I did, I'll say, "the student starvation diet." Maybe the Orion will let me do some kind of weekly journal. oooo'ers, the possibilities...
October 27 11:28 am
Sigh...
OK, so I was an angry little girl yesterday. I know you couldn't tell, but I just thought I'd admit it. She's still a biotch and he's still stupid, but she did move her car and she did apologize to Karin (I think) for it.
I do not plan on going home for any holidays in the next 5 months. Why? Because I can barely feed myself, let alone fill my gas tank. If I really wanted to go home, I could easily get a ride home, however, I have no desire to see these people.
This is my friend Emily. I met her two summers ago in 1999 when I worked at Camp TQ for a week and then I worked with her the entire summer this year at camp. She's absolutely amazing. She's like a little fairy that roams the earth making people laugh. However, I miss her. She goes to UC Santa Cruz, which isn't all that far away, maybe four hours at the most. I'd love to go visit, but remember, I dont have any money.
I'm trying to decide what to wear to class. So far I have a bra, underwear and a pair of jeans I stole from my brother because my mother bought them for him. My mother hasn't bought me a pair of jeans since 1997, and that's not an exaggeration. (Thank god I've only gained 10 pounds since then. Who knows what I would have done had I lost/gained tons of weight. I'd probably have to walk around naked) The last pair of pants, however, she bought me for my 21st birthday in Lake Tahoe. They're snowboarding pants, but I can't wear those to class. One could argue that I'm old enough to pay for my own clothes. Well, you're not exactly seeing my point, but that's ok, I really dont need to argue with someone I care nothing for.
Speaking of snowboarding, it's nice that I have this great snowboard, fantastic bindings and boots, but no money to actually enjoy them. argh, life sucks. I bet it's snowing all kinds in Tahoe (because it's raining here so much). For my 22nd birthday, I bet I get a carepackage filled with Mac & Cheese, that awful Tuna Helper crap, red beans and rice (THE ONE DEHYDRATED FOOD PRODUCT I TRUELY HATE) and whatever else she can find hiding in the cupboards at home. My mom would do something like that and she'd be like, "oh, kelly would enjoy this" and then for my brother's 20th birthday, she'd send him a new car or something. It's amazing that she "is broke," but yet they just spend 2 weeks in Seattle splurging and whatnot on my brother (I didn't get to go on the 'family' vacation, I guess it's because I'm not part of the family) However I did get some lovely postcards and of course, those postcards should make up for the fact that they planned it exactly so I couldn't go. OH and my mother wants me to find friends to go to Cancun for Spring Break. Forget that because remember, I dont have any money, but apparently you do so you should go. Why don't you just give me the money from that trip that you would spend on me and I'll spend it on what I want to do. For the last four years of my life, I have done nothing *fun* for spring break. I did go to NYC, but I paid for that, not you, and I spent the entire trip sober, so it doesn't count. ARGHHHHH.
What so sad is that my mother's biggest complaint my freshman and sophomore years was that I didn't *do* anything. I didn't go out with friends enough, I didn't get drunk enough, I didn't do go to parties enough, I slept too much (just 8 hours a day suits me, but too much for mom apparently). And now, now that I get about 5 hours of sleep a day, all I do is work, write and go out with friends, that's not OK. What's even more interesting is that she gave me MORE money my freshman year, a year where I think I made money off my mother, than any other year and I didn't do anything that year except sit on my a** and read about magic, witchcraft and religions. AHHHH sucksucksuckscuskcuskldkjfa;djfagoaiufaljf
Someone pointed out to me the other day that I must have a lot of time because I can write a lot. No, I dont have a lot of time, I just type 82 wpm.
Ok, I'm going to school now, the angry, bitter child that I am. Perhaps I will cheer up once I start discussing Aeschuyles and Sophocles and how they're similar. sigh
October 26 10:19 pm
Move your car, b*tch
Here is the b*tch troll I live with. Her name is Jamie and feel free to make fun of her in public. (She obviously takes after her mom) She is the world's biggest snob who has selective hearing, a prissy attitude, and I dont care who knows my opinion of her because frankly, I bet I could find about 100 people to support me.Tonight she took it upon herself to hog our driveway with her crappy little car on the busiest weekend in Chico. About 25,000 people come here for Halloween and the weekend prior, and no, this is not an exaggeration. Two cars can fit in our driveway and she has parked her car in the middle of it so no one can park there and not only is she parked in the middle, she's also parked halfway into the other townhouses driveway, so they're pissed too. And where is my truck? IT'S PARKED DOWN THE STREET AND AROUND THE CORNER AND THN SOME. ARRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH She's going home this weekend, thank god. Karin and I celebrated the fact that she's going home yesterday by jumping around the kitchen. Now, if only we could get the moron named Chris to go with her...
Poor Karin, she said she'll most likely end up taking Jamie wherever she goes on Tuesday because Jamie doesn't have any friends. Loser. L O S E R. See, that's why Karin and I are on such good terms and we're able to live together without griping about each other - we have seperate friends that we hang out with daily. Jamie, on the other hand, has 0. Zilch, Nada, L O S E R. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'm so pissed. Why is it that 50% of the people I live with are total morons? Jamie has a cow if you leave a dish in the sink or on the counter for longer than 5 minutes. Chris lacks a personality, individuality and common sense. In fact, I remember at the beginning of the semester when Chris totally *liked* Jamie. They should get together. There's nothing better than two stupid people getting together.
Oh, and hi Mrs. Stephenson :)
October 26 4:53 pm
One more stupid thing...
Right now, Chris has his stereo turned up so loud that my windows are shaking. It's one thing to play music loud, it's another to play it so loud that my floor and window shake.
Today when I came home from school, I noticed part of our front door has been shredded to the point where the paint is gone and part of the wood is missing. Karin said he got locked out TWICE yesterday and I guess he took it upon himself to tear up the door. I hope he plans on fixing it. I don't understand why he didnt walk over to the managers office and have her open the door. She does it for free usually when the office is open, or so she said so. See what I'm saying? He's stupid.
October 26 1:13 am
Oh, the things you find when you clean
I was going through all of the disks lying around my desk and I found some really interesting ones. I'll be posting the videos and pictures throughout the week for the enjoyment of myself because they're funny.
Well here he is folks, the big dork that Jamie and Karin found to live with us. His name is Chris and his IQ is 65. Karin and I were talking tonight and we wish he'd go on vacation or like take off for a weekend because he's so damn annoying and stupid. Karin and I both agree that there is no way anyone can actually be nice to him; he's one of those people that you have to be mean to. I mean, look at him, he just looks stupid. Plus, he has AOL and he sits at his computer and probably cybers with fat chicks all day long.
Since I'm hardly home, I can't log all of the lame and stupid personality traits that he has, but here are a few:
*He eats gross stuff, mostly eggs with numerous food items on top of it. Now, there's nothing wrong with that, but when the odors of what he cooks kills bugs and then floats up to my room so that I can't walk into my room for two days, that's just wrong.
*When he talks on his phone, he speaks really loud, like he's deaf and he always has to repeat himself to the person on the receiving end because they can't understand him.
*He swears a lot when he speaks to you or someone on the phone, like it's really cool to say the 'F' word 20 times in a minute to your friend
*I think he's the dumba** with the alarm that goes off a million times every morning
*He locks his bedroom door and he even went so far as to accuse Karin of breaking into his room. I think he's a cocaine addict.
*He has a snowboard, but I bet he sucks because he can barely walk straight
*He has 2 cars and some lame motorscooter thing. What ticks me off most about this is that he thinks he can just park them anywhere and has no respect for anyone elses parking spots (we have designated parking spots for each townhouse) and he rarely drives either vehicle, so basically they sit in the parking lot hogging spaces. They're both cheap vehicles, I spit on them every so often.
*During the presidential debates, he'd do this Beavis and Butthead thing where he'd go "heh heh, Bush is such a pussy, heh heh" and then that was followed by a, "whatever, he should just shut up now cuz he looks like a pussy, heh heh" then after that comes some kind of stupid snickering and "pssshhhtt" noises. Now, I personally am not a George W. Bush fan, but Chris's comments were just out of plain stupidity. He was just trying to be cool in front of me; trying to impress me for some god awful reason. I can see his parents did not teach him how to be an individual. Oh yeah, I forgot, he's the church boy who tries hard to pass off that church isn't cool, but yet he goes there like everyday...
October 24 1:30 pm
Two things...
...I lack are sleep and money.
In the last two days, I've gotten 4.5 hours of sleep due to the Orion and homework. Lastnight I was there until 3am. I would have been home an hour earlier, but I opted to stay and wait for my friend Karen who was going to give me a ride to my vehicle.
I have two stories and one photo on this weeks front page. I dont think I can top that. I originally just had the one story and one picture, but I picked up a story lastnight around 9pm and that's what has been on my mind.
On the money issue, let's just say I won't be eating or driving my vehicle the next two months, which also means I won't be coming home for Thanksgiving now because I dont have any money for gas (or windshield wipers if it's raining cuz they don't do anything but make my windshield worse) and I won't be dressing up for my last Halloween in Chico, let alone getting intoxicated or going out to the bars to see bands ($5 cover charges). So please stop asking me what Im going to be for Halloween, Mom That's ok, starving college students make Kate Moss look normal. My mother keeps asking me what I want for Christmas. She should pay off my balance for Christmas and stop asking me. I'm too busy to think about what I want or need for Christmas.
I went to this minority journalist meeting thing and the guy basically told me I could get a job anywhere because I'm a minority. Pshaw, what world is he living in. He had a lot of contacts, which was nice and looked good, but if I'm going to get a job, it's not because I'm a minority, it's because I'm better than everyone else.
October 22 11:52 pm
Wakey Wakey...
Let's recap this crazy weekend, shall we?
Thursday: I don't remember what I did
Friday: Finished a story for ze news section, then went to Karen's 80s party with Lindi, Laney and Kristin, drank, walked to Mr. Lucky when Lindi pointed out that I didnt have a license, so she and Tony and I drove home and got my old license, drove back to Mr. Lucky, realized we had lost everyone, started dancing at Mr. Lucky, drove back to Karen's house, picked up my wallet, drove to Lindi's house (somehow Todd McBain ended up with us) where I ended up puking in Lindi's bathroom with Todd laughing at me and Tony keeping me company in the bathroom. I ended up passing out on one of the couches in Lindi's livingroom and I've never slept so well in my entire life, I really needed it. I'd just liked to add that it's been 3 years since I puked anywhere and that it's not OK for me to vomit when people are around.
Saturday: Lindi, bless her heart, woke me up at 8am and I drove home and went to work at 9am. Came home at 2pm and slept until Kristin called at 3:30pm and we drove to Concord to see her friends and we ate at the Spaghetti Factory (yummmmmmm).
Sunday: Woke up at 9am, ate bagels, drove to San Francisco and attended an SFSU performance of the play, "The Miser" by Moliere. One of Kristin's best friends played the lead, which is why we were there. Then we drove to Sacramento, said hellooo to her father, and then we drove to Chico as fast as we could and then I came home, called a few people back, and went down to the Orion, picked up stories, talked to the fantassssstic news editor (she's my journalism hero), and left.
Tomorrow: wake up at 8am, take a shower, go to class at 9am. Run to Wal-mart and get film processed and pray that the picture comes out. If it does, I rush it back to the Orion and scan it. go to class at 1pm, copy edit stories from 2-5, go to work from 5-8, attend the IFC meeting at 8pm, interview frat guys, go back to the Orion around 9pm, write a story, chat it up with Tony if he's there and then finally go to bed.
The End
October 18 9:10 pm
Not tonight dear, I've got deadline
That's what the mug says that I received today at critique. Click here to see it. In case you're wondering, the guy behind the mug is Ansel Adams.
I also have a new nickname. Click Here to read about it in the Orion's critique.
If you're wondering what I'm talking about, Click Here for a picture of the front page. The photo and the story underneath it on Halloween are mine. yayayay!
Click Here for this week's edition of The Orion. My story is in the news section if you care to read it.
Yeah, so everything went OK for me today in critique. Dr. Bleske didn't whomp on me; he must have been in a good mood today because all he did was pick on headlines. It was a good day today
October 18 12:05 pm
Eeek! Dummies in the road.
On my way to Safeway lastnight, I noticed a small portion of Walnut Ave was blocked off by police cars, so I drove around and got back on Walnut and looked back at the part that was blocked off and I saw something lying in the middle of the road. Silly me thought it was a dead dog and I was like, "why don't they just move the dog?" I drove to Safeway, picked up a quick bite to eat, and then started driving back to school when I noticed something else in the road. So I parked in the 7-11 parking lot, which was right in front of the scene, and what looked like, to me and others, in the middle of the road, were 2 dead bodies. However, they were "dummy" bodies and ambulances had already taken the people to the hospital.Click Here to read the article from the E-R this morning.
October 18 10:53 am
Beautiful Day
I'm cold, I'm tired, and from the looks of the tree outside my window, it'll be a beautiful day.
Oh, what is that I hear? It's the alarm from the dork in the complex next door!
The Orion has been updated. My photo is on the front page and if you click on news, my story is there along with another photo that is mine. I'll post individual links for the lazy when I thaw out.
I'm still not looking forward to critique today. I have a feeling that the grim reaper will be visiting Tehama Hall around 4:30 pm.
October 17 9:31 am
2-4-6-8...Who do we appreciate?
Tuesdays are the only day in which I get to sleep in until at least 11 am. However, this morning I find myself up before then because I know if I sleep in, I'll never be able to go to sleep tonight. I work 8pm to midnight tonight, which is probably the second worst night for me to work (the first being Monday because of Orion deadlines).
Speaking of deadlines, the front page lead art and the story below it are mine in the next edition of the Orion. I'm scared because Dr. Bleske is doing the critique on Wednesday and he'll rip my story and the section I copyedit apart for two reasons: 1. The story I wrote was written somewhat half-a**ed because I didn't really expect it to be on the front page, let alone in the paper and 2. I'm supposed to be the Online Orion photo editor and I haven't done jack for the past semester and since he's the advisor, I'm sure he'll just be thrilled about this. However, I like the photos that are being printed. The one on the front page is of this little girl holding a sign that says, "Death to democracy" and she's dressed in black and she's walking with the Green party supporters in the Death of Democracy funeral procession chanting, "1-2-3-4 Bush and Gore are corporate wh*res. 5-6-7-8 It's not too late for a real debate." It's an eerie photo, almost scary. I'll link it here tomorrow. I'm really scared of going to critique. Maybe Laney will hold my hand while I get yelled at. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing but love for Dr. Bleske, he's the greatest professor in ze world, but he can be tough... :(
October 15 2:32 pm
Get me near that Crunchy granola suite
I awoke to the sound of that annoying alarm that sounds like mine that is owned by some fool in the complex next door at 7:34 am. I got up, got some gatorade and went back to bed. I fell asleep and woke up again at 11:00 am and decided I was going to Costco. I guess the entire town of Chico also woke up this morning and decided they wanted to go there too, since there wasn't a parking space to be found. So I left and went to S&S produce, which is an organic/natural foods store and spent $40 on granola. Yes, granola. OK, so that wasn't the only thing I bought. I also bought organic Miso, veggies, and some other stuff that is good for me. Chico has a definate problem with granola because no one sells it. The granola they do sell is always that honey nut crap that is too sweet for me. I just want regular, natural granola that doesn't have raisins and doesn't have 500 tablespoons of sugar. Is that so much to ask?
"Crunchy Granola Suite" is definately Neil Diamond's best song. If you haven't heard it, get with, foo. It's almost as good as Neko Case and her boyfriends, but not quite.
October 14 4:00 pm
Who let the dogs out?
Put them back please. Lock them up and take the horrid song with them.
Now, Neko Case & Her Boyfriends', "Guided by Wire" - there's some quality music; very hip. It makes me happy. I'm glad Tyler found it and let me know what I was missing.

Why AOL'ers should be forced to stay within AOL boundaries and banned from anywhere else on the Internet.
This is an exerpt from a 3 minute conversation I had with a person on AOL Instant Messenger. Usually I'm quick to block people, usually within 10 seconds. (I have blocked 92 people tonight. Yes, I really counted.) However, I was feeling nice at the time

October 13 11:26 pm
Shimmy shimmy cocoa what? Listen to it pound.
It's official - it is "slacker weekend." All I'm doing this weekend is reading, going to work Saturday morning, and sleeping 10 hours a day (not necessarily at the same time). Perhaps I'll eat a few times, but it's not a big priority. I rented "To Sir With Love," so I plan on watching that a few times and singing the theme song over and over and over, pretending I am LuLu. I refuse to spend money this weekend and I refuse to do anything that has to do with journalism.
Note to parents: No, I didn't go to my appointment. I had to go to a lame meeting for the online Orion.
Note to self: Buy more ExcedrinPM.
October 12 1:34 pm
Hello, how are you doing today?
I hope I find you feeling healthy. I'm so glad our paths crossed this time today, on our way into the night...
I'm tired of not having time to be a slacker. I WANT TO BE A SLACKER!!!
October 12 12:41 am
Sigh, the information superhighway.
Click Here I heard Adrian Heideman, the freshman that just passed away, had a journal online, so I found it. Do pay attention to the September 10, 2000 entry. It just makes his entire death questionable. ahem...peer pressure anyone?
Click Here This is the 10.10.00 article on Adrian Heideman that was published in the Sacramento Bee. It's an excellent article that describes who he was before he attended Chico State.
Click Here This is Diana Griego Erwin's column, which appears in the Sacramento Bee twice a week. Erwin is a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and I met her last semester. She has a great column and is an excellent journalist. Her and Edna Buchannan are my heros. Ok, so I'm exaggerating a bit, but I think you get my point. But I also think she makes a good point. The Fraternities and Soroities are still going to have their socials on Thursday (perhaps not this Thursday, but next Thursday) and I'm sure I'll see half of them at Normal St. Bar tomorrow night. She's right. No one has learned a thing. It doesn't matter how many young adults die, drinking while attending college is going to happen. She makes a point that is often missed because we're too busy saying "aww, this is so sad... hey wanna go get a drink?" I want to be like Diana Griego Erwin when I grow up. Can I get that on a button?

There's more than 1 Kelly Imoto
Actually, her name is Kelli Imoto and she lives in Napa. That's what the girl who works at Woodstocks on Normal St. said. She was like, "Is your name Kelly Imoto?" and I said, "yes, that's what the card says." and she said, "Woah, my best friend's name is Kelly Imoto, but she spells it Kelli." and I said, "woah, no way. Is she Japanese?" and she said, "yeah, her dad is, but she looks like Nancy Kerrigan."
Any Kelly (or any other form of Kelly) Imoto that looks like Nancy Kerrigan is just wrong. W R O N G

Scary thought
This page has been viewed, according to two statistical counterthingydingys, by over 800 different people in the last 32 days. (well, one said 798 and the other said 830)
Also, some keywords and phrases that are used to find my page in a search engine are:
Assyrian Grammar
public urination photos
scuba sex
pissed off student

WWF nude
starbucks sucks

nude Chico students
It just thrills me that disgusting humans, mostly American, find my site using nasty phrases. My page is hosted by Geocities, how much nasty stuff can I really put on this site? Zero. Ziltch. They pull my page within 4 hours if I put the word a**hole on here. geez people...

For the love of a god, register!
Today is your last day to register to vote for the Nov. 3 elections. Get off your lazy butts and register folks, it takes a whopping three minutes to do so. I walked by a registration table on campus and filled out the application last week. If I can do it, you can too. Just think of all the horrid things the next president could do to this country; your vote could save the country! Of course, one could argue that our country couldn't be more screwed up at the moment... Let's all move to Madagascar! That island seems pretty darn empty and could use some reviving. Who better than dirty, slimey Americans to take over an empty island? anywho...
For my magazine class, I'm required to write two articles. The first one is on how I'm the ethnic chameleon. I'm taking a poll of people who know and don't know me of what nationality they think I am. So far:
Native American: 72
Hawaiian: 64
Samoan: 32
Mexican: 24
Eskimo: 3
Dutch: 1 (this vote courtesy of Ms. Laney Erokan)

How the heck am I supposed to know?
...when my roommate has alcohol poisioning?
This weekend, a Pi Kappa Phi pledge was found dead early Saturday morning in the basement of their frathouse after consuming a bottle of Blackberry Brandy at a party
Alcohol plays a major part on Chico State and it's students. It's cheap, it's free 50 percent of the time to underclassmen, and it's everywhere. Chico often boasts about it's alcohol consumption and how it is *the* party school of the nation. Whether this may be true or not, I wish people knew when to stop.
So, how am I supposed to know, when I come home and see one of my roommates lying on the couch, that the right thing to do is to rush them to the emergency room? I don't normally drink with them, so I wouldn't know that they've been drinking, unless of course they're covered in vomit or they smell like alcohol. Frankly, I probably wouldn't think twice if I saw Jamie or Chris lying on the couch, but if it were Karin, I'd probably take that extra effort of making sure she was breathing and throw a blanket on her. I know that sounds harsh, but Karin and I have lived together now for almost four years and I think for both of us, there's an unspoken responsibility we take for each other. Perhaps it's because we know how much we both can drink because we've done it together for so long...who knows.
Now that I think of it, I probably wouldn't notice them. When I come home from the bars or a party, I usually just walk from the front door to the stairs, which is a whole two feet, and then run up the stairs to my room. Perhaps this weekend, I'll make the extra effort to look around the fridge to make sure the livingroom is empty.
Alcohol poisoning is scary and lurks behind every pint of beer or bottle of hard alcohol we open. I think this event astonishes me the most because I just assume that students know about alcohol poisoning and that there's always a risk of getting it when you drink too much.
Normally on Monday nights at 8 pm, I cover the IFC meetings, which are meetings where the IFC council and the presidents of each fraternity show up and they talk about issues and whatnot. Tonight, I'm being asked not to show up, and if I do, I won't be let in. This is illegal according to the Brown Act, which states that any meeting on CSU campus' that don't meet certain closed meeting guidelines, shall be open to the press. However, I won't be banging on the door to get it, nor will any other from the school paper for that matter. I'm curious as to what they have to say and what they think of the issue and what the president of Pi Kappa Phi has to say, but out of respect, I'm not going to attend. I have every right to be there as a reporter, but I figure if I show up, they'll just have their meeting elsewhere, so all I will do is make myself look like the pushy reporter that I really am and they won't ever want to talk to me. (they're usually nice about talking to me since I'm such a sweetie)
Anyways, I need to go to work. To be continued...

Hey, I said hey, Baby I got your money
It actually went down into the kitchen and ate lunch; probably the first time in weeks. I read the eraseboard for the first time in weeks and I noticed a little blurb about how two people in the house need to pay for cable. Apparently I'm not paying for cable, which is good because I don't watch it, let alone grace my presence in the living room. I ought to, one day when no one is home, remove the tv and put it in my room and see what they say to me. I mean, it is my tv, or well, my parents and I don't even get to use it. I ought to take it home and make the people who watch tv buy their own tv. I do not like to share with people I do not like. I do not like when people I do not like borrow my stuff. I do not like people leaving me messages on the eraseboard (which is why I don't read it.) I only like 1 person in this house, who is home as often as I am home, which is never. I will update my roommates page soon, when I find the time to be nice, so you can see the two fools I live with, and the one nice person I live with.
I went to Target today. I had thought about going to Wal-mart, but half the town is there, and plus, Target is cleaner and I'm willing to pay that extra $0.10 an item to leave not smelling like the place. I bought this closet organizing set, because I have the smallest closet in the house and I have 253 shoes. (I seem to be missing a flipflop somewhere...) It came with one of those shoe compartment things with 20 places to put a pair of shoes. Unfortunetly, I have big shoes (like boots and tennis shoes, not like I have big feet) and I can only fit one in a slot, so instead of fitting 20 pairs of shoes, I can only put 10 pairs up there. My closet is still a mess. argh. I also need to do laundry because I haven't done it in three weeks, but I can't because everyone else is doing laundry. I ought to reserve Sunday as "Kelly does laundry" day because that's usually the only day I'm home for a 4-hour block. I also bought a box of 80 dryer sheets. I'm going to see how long they last. I'm going to put little ticks on the box to see how many sheets I use and how many are missing at the end... I DO NOT LIKE TO SHARE WITH PEOPLE I DO NOT LIKE.

Work all night and I drink a rum!
Quoted from the back of an ExcedrinPM box. "Alcohol Warning: If you consume 3 or more alcholic drinks every day, ask your doctor whether you should take acetaminophen or other pain relievers/fever reducers. Acetaminophen may cause liver damage."
I think if you consumed 3 drinks a day and asked your doctor about Acetaminophen, he'd probably give you a dirty look, laugh, and ask if you watched the Care Bears when you were a kid. It's not like it's going make your condition any worse since your liver is probably crap by now and plus, who actually asks their doctor about these warnings? Please don't answer, I really don't care.

The Laney joke of the day
For those of you who don't know, which is all of you, Laney is my best journalism friend. I'm sure there's a picture of her somewhere around here...anyway, here is her joke of the day that she stole from someone else. What reminded me to put this here was that I saw her yesterday morning at Cafe Max, or well, she saw me and ran outside to tackle me while I was interviewing a police officer and we couldn't stop laughing about the joke. Small warning: this is typical of Kelly and Laney humor...
A woman walks into a supermarket and buys:
1 bar of soap
1 toothbrush
1 tube of toothpaste
1 loaf of bread
1 pint of milk
1 single serving of cereal
1 single serving frozen dinner
1 can of Soup For One
1 16oz can of Miller Lite
The guy at the checkout looks at her
and says, "Single, are you?"
The woman smiles sweetly and replies,
"How did you guess?"
He replies.....
"Because you're ugly."

I am an ordinary girl...
All wet.
Here, you might need a raincoat.
Shakedown.
Dreams walkin in broad daylight.
365 degrees.
Burning down the house.
