To Satiate Zachary Cox:

25 Lessons Learned in the First Five Weeks:


- Steel water bottles are more effective for stealing milk from the cafeteria. Aquafinas are downright sketch... Sobes approved on a case-by-case basis. 

- Saturday Night Live is a perfectly acceptable (sole) source of news. The Bahamas could launch a full scale invasion of Asia, but if it doesn't make Weekend Update I will not have a clue.

- If it is past 1AM on the honors floor, not only will the lounge be standing room only, but for some unknown reason the collective vocabulary of the floor has risen to a PhD level. 

- The harder the cause of a group is to sell, the better the free food at the first meeting. I.E. - Alpine Club - Jolly Ranchers (:-/) Amnesty International - Cookies and funsize Snickers (Getting better...) DU Wiccan Baby Sacrificers could be expected to have a steak dinner. (also featuring steak dinners, for some reason, are the frats and sororities... I'll let you glean your own conclusions there)

- My scooter is now an extension of my leg.

- Yoga club might be worthwhile if only to be able to manage to shave my legs in a 9 square foot shower. 

- Examining the socio-psychological value of Super Smash Brothers is a worthy exercise. 

- My betta fish Icky is more resilient than I previously believed. I remember to feed him about 60% of the time. Ok, I'll stop that.

- Anyone who tries to keep a cellist out of an elevator is the equivalent of one of those rich guys on the Titanic that pitched ladies out of the lifeboats, and will be treated as such.

- The Spicy Pickle closes at 4pm, Qdoba closes at 10, Safeway at 12am, the Cstore around 11/12, Jerusalem's never!

- Naps can be taken in any location featuring a chair. 

- Props to the 40 something Greek lady in my classes, but seriously, can't she not wear Harley Davidson baseball hats EVERY DAY?

- Anything is delicious at 2am. A-n-y-t-h-i-n-g. 

- If someone goes to bed before 1:30, everyone assumes they are sick or crazy. 

- Talking during the Office is a cardinal sin.

- There will come a day when 2 North + Ari will score a point in broomball, but most likely (whenever anyone reads this ever) today is not that day. 

- Collars with little bells would be very prudent for certain people on certain weekends. 

- The popluar opinion on campus seems to be that the honors floor must be some kind of cult.

- Nothing clears the usually insanely busy campus green like the 'McCain/Palin Victory Bus'

- Tensions between Mac and PC users at times have the potential to erupt in to a civil war.

- No winky face on the whiteboard, scrunchie on the door handle, deadbolt or rabid doberman pincer will keep you safe from embarrassment. 

- People will go to political meetings just for posters to revenge their partisan enemies with a good plastering.

- If you schedule anything for before 2pm on a Saturday, you better believe there is no chance of you actually completing said activity. 

- No essay, reading or exam is of any importance once someone on the floor starts taking OkCupid or Political Compass tests. 

- Vietnam / Iraq does not seem to be a class where paying attention is particularly important. This blog is written in said lecture.

Ode To Kayla Martin (to be sung in a high C) :

Kayla Christine Martin,
Your hair (lately) as blue black as shotzy herself,
Your skin as soft and pale as a babies ass,
Your knowledge as infinate and random as google and stumble put together,
Your love of all things buffy,
Your passion for idiotic japanese movies,
Your dorm and room back home like a world from katamari,
Your willingness to go chocolate hunting for no reason,
Your advice and experiences are every little queers dream,
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Thanks for the advice,
Here's a song for you:

Ms. Kayla Martin - that's what she is to the world outside
That's the name she carries with pride
I'm just lately Zac- not very much to the world, I know
All these years with nothing to show
I've boned a troll, I've wreaked some wrath,
But on the whole, I've had no path.
I like to bowl, I'm good with math,
But who am I?
Now I reply that
I'm the Mister
I will be her Mister
Mr. Zachary Anthony Alexander Christopher Martin
What's the point of loving...
I mean except for the sweaty part
What's the point of losing your heart?
Maybe if you're lucky
Being a pair makes you twice as tall
Maybe you're not losing at all
No need to cover up my heart
Plus see above RE: sweaty part
So maybe love is pretty smart
And so am I
I found my gal!
And I'll be Mister
I will be her Mister
Mr. Zachary-lame-ass-made-up-name-Martin
We'll never part
Not if we can
And if we start
Then here's my plan
I'll show her what bliss is
Welcome her with kisses
'Cause this is a Mister who misses his woman
She's my Kayla
And she's awfully swell
It makes financial sense as well,
Although she can be "I'll never tell"
Just stand aside
Here comes the groom
I'll be Mister
I will be her Mister
I will beeeee -

I'm having trouble deciding if I love you or Zac more at this very moment.
