Stuff my roommates and I say 1

A list of interesting things that my roommates say to me and I say back to them. I'm in italics

Start date: May 24, 2012

"Let's make Friday's dresses day!"

"GAAAAAH!!! OMGOSH!!! NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! AOEIDKALSKDJFASFLSDAFKJD?!?!?!"
"What's going on?"
"THIS KEYCHAIN ISN'T WORKING"

"How can you not believe in Love but still write it so well?"
"Because it's easy to pretend"

"So I saw your friend and he asked me for a mango, so I gave him a mango, but then he said he didn't actually want it, so I took the mango back."

"I feel like I should be saying 'I'll see you tomorrow' when she leaves in the morning since I won't see her until tomorrow..."

"There's no way we only used $26.42 worth of electricity this month..."

"It's sad because all the people in the scientific community are too busy to reproduce, so lots of the really awesome genes die out... this is why the world is populated by so many idiots."

"Please don't put that on your blog."

"You're like a flimsy wisp of air that floats around and I'm the rock that refuses to budge."

Random Thoughts

I was going to call this another Random 20.... but this probably won't be 20 actually... I'll just stop it when I think it's long enough to be a valid post.

Start Date: May 2, 2011

• I need to move my office stuff into my room and turn my office room into some other room... 
• Do subway drivers take the subway to work?
• I FOUND A BASKET! FULL OF AIR!
• So now I have 2 desks, one for day use and one for night use; good thing my laptop's light enough to carry around
• A year behind on med school keening... must double keen next year...
• I want to press flowers... but I'm not sure what to do with them afterwards.
• Last night I woke up frightened again... this has been a repetitive thing for a while now
• If a complete stranger walked up to you and confessed his/her undying affections for you; how would you react? At first seems pretty creepy but after you think about how many romances use it as a cliched love-at-first-sight thing... well actually it's creepy no matter what (unless you have a dream about it, nothing seems odd in dreams unless you want it to be...)
• Someone just asked me if I was pregnant and did a DNA test on my unborn child to find that it was going to be autistic, would I abort. What would you do?
• Can you be a bad person if you don't want to be bad?
• If only there were two of me, then I could experiment with my comfort levels without any discomfort
• I think we refuse to believe we're special because we think that everyone else must feel the same way... 
• Actually, why do we even care so much about being special? Is there an evolutionary advantage to it?
• Okay maybe there are many evolutionary advantages to it... but by wanting to be special it makes us the same as other people who also want to be special...
• Screw individuality! Let's all be blobs!
• Oh my gosh my throat doesn't hurt! I can swallow w/o pain again!!!

Random 20 Thoughts

Thought I'd just jot down some random thoughts I have randomly when I want to add a thought to a blog but am too lazy to make an entire entry dedicated to it... Think I'll do this randomly and just publish whenever I get 20 thoughts listed... Why 20? Because it's a normal number unlike those people trying to be special by using some "special" number with some "special" meaning. (Also because 20 is 2x10 and if you rotate the 'x' it becomes a + which becomes 2+10 which is 12 and that's 6x2 which is 3x2x2 or 3x2^2)

1. I was reading my textbook about molecules and ions moving through cell membranes. I occurred to me then that in order to pass the membrane all that really matters is the size and amount of charge.
2. Wouldn't it be nice if heaven was a place where you can inflict the same amount of pain to those who have wronged you until you two have no choice but to make up?
3. How do subway drivers get to work?
4. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother with things... AHAHAHA! That was so not something I would say via the interwebs, just typing it made me laugh.
5. I shouldn't have deleted tumblr, now I just stare at facebook rather than read pretty poetry
6. I should disable my facebook... but... I... can't...
7. Sending emails is fun. It makes me feel awesome and important and as though I'm doing something useful with my time.
8. While reading about twin-paradox: Trying to imagine 2 twins born at the exact same time, a biological impossibility... oh wait, a physical relativity impossibility as well!
9. I can't comb my hair because a bunch of it will get combed out.
10. The Silmarillion has been sitting on my desk for some time now... I should get on that...
11. Flashback: To those days when we would annoy each other by asking "why?" after every response. "Why?" is such a perfect question.
12. Singapore: Sing-a-pore... hm... was actually hoping that would have more meaning... somehow it reminds me of the spongebob theme song though.
13. Eating is a waste of time. We should all just live off of IV drips.
14. Actually we should just add some chloroplasts to our skin cells...  I wonder if that'll actually work... 
15. I may not be eating a lot, and I might be really tiny, but I swear I'm not anorexic. Proof is in my fridge. At the second rake. Where all the chocolate is.
16. If we could see ultra-violet light.. what colour would it be?
17. Great, so if a nuclear war breaks out, even northern Canada's not safe. Swiss is surrounded by possible targets of bombs so that's out of the question too. Perhaps by then global warming will make Antarctica habitable.
18. I'm so amazing that I'm jealous.
19. Trying to download Java stuffs when I exceed my hourly limit... Have to wait an hour... -.-... by then this spontaneous wish to learn Java will have disappeared. Fail.
20. In 40min I will be playing Sims Medieval. Win.
