Happy Easter, everybody! -CF

A month ago my roommate Ian removed my mattress and hid that while putting the covers back on my bed frame, in case you don't remember. I had to get him back, of course. I waited a month and then struck. I waited for a morning when he got back from work. He's a police aide, sitting at a residence hall front-desk from midnight to 8 a few times a week. Then he sleeps for a few hours before any afternoon classes he has. This morning was one such morning. I got up at 9, knowing he'd be asleep, and laid out my plans. The previous night I got 204 styrofoam cups for about $7. So I placed those outside his room's door and down the 12 feet of hallway leading to his room, and filled them halfway with water. (His door is to the right. The one in front is the pantry door.) I wasn't around when he woke up, but apparently he had a pretty good reaction. He almost didn't notice them. And this was definitely not something he wanted to wake up to. Unfortunately the size of this prank is greater than the size of his prank, so we're not even and I have to beware. It's like the cold war, he told me. -CF

Totally forgot that yesterday was my 8th BZP Anniversary! (Among other things...) But a day late isn't bad. Here I am! Eight years later! I've certainly changed compared to the first few posts I made way back when. Now I'm a reporter, I've started this blog, been to a few conventions...it's a nice community we have here, and I've felt like sticking around. I was going to blog about Portal 2, and then this came up to steal that thunder. But I'll still say it: I'm wearing my Aperture Labs shirt today, listening to the Orange Box OST, but unfortunately am not buying the game because I have final exams next week I should study for. Oh well. I suppose I'll play it over the 4th of July at a friend's place. If not then I might just buy it next semester when I have access to my roommate's X-Box (there's no way this will play on my computer). -CF

Don't do 'em, kid. Don't pull all-nighters in any grade of schooling. Also don't wait until the last minute to start your research paper, go to sleep at 3, wake up at 6, feel terrible for a few hours trying to finish the paper, when if you had done it ahead of time like those diligent, smart students one looks up to you could have skipped class (also a bad idea, but sometimes an exception) gone to New York City (for the first time) and met some of the coolest actors in British television. -CF

Yes, you read that title correctly. Need I say any more? (Pic via the internet.) My school had a Relay for Life (raising money for cancer research) yesterday/today, and during the event groups sell baked-goods to participants to raise more money. I baked something I felt would be irresistible: a delicious cookie inside a delicious cookie. The mere thought sounds amazing. So I baked a batch and they turned out amazing. Delicious, ridiculous, incredible. Here's the recipe I grabbed online: The cookies were almost the size a fist. Huge. It's great. -CF

What's A Good Title To Introduce A Non-sequitur?
ChocolateFrogs posted a blog entry in blogs_blog_113
And judging by how my bedsheets were half-off my bed when I woke up, I must have had a really rough night. -CF (Actually, the little metal rod inserted into my jaw and toothline to serve as a stick to eventually hold onto my upcoming fake tooth is now loose, making food very hard to eat (seriously, I had a donut* for breakfast. Just one, because I daren't** have another) and ruining my life for the next few days, in which I have to figure out when to go home to see my dentist about this while at the same time having a Relay For Life tonight, a term-paper due on Monday, and me not wanting to miss any class. Except I can barely eat.) *Why does "donut" come up as incorrect in Firefox's spell check? **Yes that is now a real word. Needn't I remind you I'm an English major? -
I wonder where that fish has gone. You did love it so, you looked after it like a son. And it went wherever I did go. A fish, a fish, a fishy ohhh. Seriously, what was going on in their minds when Monty Python decided to produce this skit? Especially that elephant. Stop staring at me! -CF (Creeped out.)

April Fools' Day, 2011. I froze my roommate's ID in a cup of water (which turned into ice. Science!). Then I froze that in a tupperware second layer. Then, after he didn't call the room to be let back in all night, I froze it in a third layer the next morning. He finally came back, over 24 hours after starting this entire thing. He was not amused. (But we were!) More pix. -CF Edit: Beardliness: 8 weeks!

It's always nice being able to swap music with a friend, because it's a win-win situation for both parties involved! Just recently I added probably almost 2 gigs worth of Christian music to my computer, thanks to a friend. Among those additions, I have recently been excessively enjoying Falling Up, David Crowder Band (especially Church Music), Newsboys' Houston We Are Go, a few Abandon Kansas songs, and some more Matt Maher (especially Alive Again (song and CD)). Now if only Relient K would release a new album... -CF

I have the entire apartment to myself. Naked time! One roommate is at home. Another is doing some sort of on-campus science conference. The other doesn't come around too often. (And the honorary roommate is at home.) My friend and I plan on watching Children of Men (There are some sci-fi movies I should have seen long ago...) and then the 2010 Doctor Who Christmas Special because she just caught up. (I was able to convince her to put down Merlin for a while so she could be all caught up before Series 6. ) After that, maybe I'll go prank my roommate who pranked me last week. I'm thinking cling-wrap over his shower head. -CF

Did you see that ludicrous display last night? -CF

Though I will admit the non-sequitur is not mine. -CF

Off to a free Carbon Leaf concert! Happy St. Patrick's Day! Edit: It was really fun. I went with a few friends, and the music was good. We got there are few minutes late (technically half an hour early but they started early) in the middle of Shine. We heard some favorites like Big Strong Man, The Boxer, Toy Soldiers, and they concluded with Mary Mac. -CF (I know they didn't write Mary Mac. It's just one of my favorites of theirs. Also Shine and Big Strong Man.)

I come back to my room this evening and what do I find? My desk chair in the living room. Big deal (though I suspect something is up). I walk into my room and what do I find? If you can't tell, there isn't a mattress under there. (Sorry for the blurry pic.) Also, look down now up. A slipper is missing. All be told, everything is back to normal now, but my roommate's message relayed to me is that it was to "keep me on my toes." I was about to hide his mattress (he's off working all night--it's his job) and lock the door to the bedroom I hide it in, but that would be unsportsmanly and not very original (and his door is locked). So right now I need a good prank idea to pull on him in a few weeks. (He already filled up cups of water outside my door last year.) -CF

Way too much stuff to do. -CF

So here's the thing: I haven't read Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers or The Return of the King. I'll wait for all of you to recover from the state of shock. I'm currently working on Towers, but it's hard with all my schoolwork and stuff. Also, I haven't seen those two movies, because I'm picky like that. Now, my friends say they are going to force me to sit down and watch the movies this semester whether or not I finish the books. Regardless of if I finish the books, what if I really, really like the movies? I mean, they're epics, the third one won one of those big awards (imagine that, a fantasy movie winning an award!) and the soundtracks are constantly talked up. Sounds like there is little reason for me not to like them. Now, as soon as I realize the movie's awesomeness, my friends are never going to let me live it down. Just wait, they'll be talking about how good the movies are, and I'll pipe in my agreement, and then they'll suddenly turn on me saying how it took me a billion years to read/see them. Then what? It's a lose-lose situation. I was better off saying I hadn't seen the movies because I couldn't trudge through the books. Granted, this is all hypothetical. Maybe I should just give them all a slap in the face (literally or verbally, or both) and it'll never happen again. Maybe they'll be nice. ..... Maybe part of me just wants to watch the movies, not have to pick up the books (which stop to examine every passing flower in detail, ug) and get on with other things I want to read. But that's not how I roll. Especially someone like me who likes to read, and wants more time to do so, it would sound silly to say, "I really liked the movies but never finished the books." (Granted, I know people do that for Harry Potter, but that's not as respectable a series overall.) -CF Cool quote from Aragorn (one of the coolest characters IMO) while reading early in The Two Towers: "There are some things that it is better to begin than to refuse, even though the end may be dark."

I love British humor! (Well, of course, there's Monty Python after all.) And maybe just all the other shows England does as well... (Doctor Who, Sherlock, Life on Mars, Outcasts, Primeval, Being Human...) (But that does not let me forget about my beloved American Sci-Fi (and other programing). (Firefly, Stargate, Warehouse 13, The Big Bang Theory...) That being said, perhaps I should give the BBC The Office a shot. -CF

Two weeks ago a friend said he wanted to see me with a beard. (Granted, I think he wants to see a mountain-man beard, but that sounds a little excessive for me, despite my Boy Scout persona.) I saw no reason to fight this notion, thought it would be fun, and thus did not shave the following morning. A week later I cleaned up the underside, and it looked pretty good (and a certain girl mentioned in this blog a few days ago agreed, not to mention other friends). Now it is two weeks later and I have a picture! This was taken while some friends and I went to see the hilarious Catholic comedian Judy McDonald. I shall keep it for another week and a half so my family and old friends see it when I get back home for spring break, and I suspect I'll continue to keep it as long as I (/the girl with any luck) like it. I need to start trimming it a little though so certain parts stop poking my lips, and to keep it under control. Short of using some tiny scissors, I am not sure how to do that, but both a friend and my dad have razors with guards, so maybe those will work. -CF
