Motto: Somebody Wrote Gullible in the Motto…. (it was Me)

 

 > So It’s Been a While. Big Deal. Have YOU Been Going to College? It’s Time Consuming. It Consumed My Time. Updating Takes about an Hour. It’s Hard to Find a Spare Hour these Days. What with School and Homowork and Videogames (which blatantly take precedence over the column) and All.

 

 > I’m on One of KU’s Computers. It’s Cool, Though- You Can have it for Personal Uses (which is what 95% of the people in this library are doing) Somebody Wrote on the Screen with a Pencil. I’m Scared to Erase it Though, Because I have Already Written Some Stuff Underneath it and I’m Scared to Erase It, Too.

 > Yes, History was Made. Halo 3 Came Out. Does Master Chief Save the Human Race and All of the Universe? I Don’t Know. I Do Know that Multiplayer Online is Wicked Sweet. However, That’s not the Main Point of this Bulleted Item. The Main Point is How Much Ability it has to Bring People Together. Everybody was so Excited about It. You Could Walk Up to About any Random Somewhat Un-cool Looking Dude and Say “Halo 3 is Tomorrow” and Strike up a Rather Involved 2 hour Conversation. Small Talk was Now Easy. On Nick and I’s Trek 10 Minute to Best Buy to Pick Up Our Preordered Copy we Saw No Less than 3 Other People On There Way to Saving the Universe. Each of Which was Easily Approachable and had a Smile on Their Faces. Twice Already We’ve Played in the Same Rooms with Dudes Who’s Names I Didn’t Even Know, I’ve Learned Their Names, which is, of Course, the First Step in the Direction of a Mutual Liking between the Two Parties.

 > I’m Drinking Pink Lemonade. It’s a Staple of Mine. Along with Cookie Crisp and Fruity Pebbles.

 > I had a Rather Fun Night a Few Nights Back (Last Friday.) Nick and I Played Doubles Ping-Pong against Two RA’s from Ellsworth. I Think What Made it So fun was that it was Done At 12:30 at Night. It was Actually a Pretty Evenly Matched Game. Nick beat Shaun (the RA.) If You Don’t Know Shaun This Won’t be Impressive, but Since I Do, It Impressed Me. Nick Now has a Head the Size of a Watermelon because of the Fact.

 > Here’s Something I Thought of Yesterday. When You Say “He’s Very Modest” It Usually Means “He” is Really Good at Something… But if You Say “It’s Very Modest,” It Usually Means whatever “It” is has Pretty Crappy. That Word Goes Both Ways… Like a Bisexual.

> I Think My TA’s Recognize Me. One Referred to Me by Name the Other Day. Although He Could have Just been Reading it from the Bold Letters on My Chest Quite Obviously Spelling it Out.

 > Ping-Pong on the Year: Nick 47 Aaron 28 (so he’s had a bit of a winning streak)
