On the subject of toilets

We got a new potty friday. It's name is Gerber. It flushes mightily. It could suck your soul out if you were sitting on it while you flushed. It could even suck your entire body down. The seat is noticibly larger than that of the old potty. This potty has been designed to suck all existance down into its swirly depths. All fear the wrath of Gerber the potty.

I like to pretend we got a new potty because our old one was dirty. "Yes, maintence? Hi, our toilet is dirty. Could you please send us up a new one? Thanks."

However, the truth is we got a new one because out old one kept clogging up. The old potty was one of those water saver toilets that just don't work. Let me tell you, this new one works. Very well. You could flush babies down this potty. (Hence the name, Gerber.)

I was told that the guy who put the new potty in told us not to flush food down. I don't know what he thinks we were doing. So we were talking and decided that if it ever backs up again, we're going to have to put a watermelon in the potty before we call someone for a plunger. Then, when he looks at it, we'll just shrug and say we don't know why it's not working.

But I wonder...Why don't we have plungers in our building this year? Why do we have to call maintence to fix our potty? I could easily plunge it myself if I could get a plunger. Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy half a dozen plungers than to pay a guy to come to each room that has a problem? I think that's very odd.

Anyway the point is, if I ever go missing, Gerber ate me.

I am sick and tired of writing about abortion. So I take a break now. Wheeeee!

Today was the first real day of my study period. I woke up bright and early to eat breakfast with friends. Was terribly abused by them. Was convinced I was hated for a bit, but I think that every week so it's nothing new. After lunch, we wandered around a bit with no real place to go.

Then yukihyouchan had the great idea to go feed the ducks! So we went back to my room to get my stale bread and then down to the park to feed the duckies. They were so cute!!! I love ducks! They waddle and quack and have such nice eyes. I even got one duck to take break from my hand! He was my duck buddy! :D

Megan started to feed a rather fat squirrel that had come by. We found out why it was so fat. I had no problems taking food from our hands. However, megan dropped a piece of bread and the squirrel accidentally bit her and scratched her nail. (Hope she doesn't get rabies.) Then a smaller, skinnier one came by, but it was not brave enough to grab bread. Poor thing.

After we ran out of bread, we went over to Mo to bug greg. We were incompetent at the crossword. But I was entertained by a USA today article on gay tourism. The slogans were so goofy. Like philadelphia was something like, "Where you can get your history straight and your nightlife gay." Washington D.C. was, "Where the cherry blossoms aren't the only ones coming out." I found them really funny for some reason. And I tormented greg for a bit by not telling him about the gay guinness ad. :P

I had work in the late afternoon though, so I had to run back to my room and get books together and whatnot. While I was getting ready, my computer overheated and shut down, causing me to panic in my usual I-don't-understand-computers manner. So right now while I work, my computer is getting a good long rest.

It's odd working at a normal hour. There's so many phone calls and people talking to me. I'm not used to this! And in 2 and a half hours, I've managed to write nearly a page on abortion. I'm tired of writing. I want to play!!!!

Anyway, here's my work/final schedule for the week:
Tuesday noon-1 (working), 9pm-1am (working)
Wednesday 5-9:30am (working)
Thursday 1-5am (working)
Friday 9-noon (final)
Saturday 1-5pm (final)
Sunday 1-5pm (final)
Monday evening (christmas party)
Tuesday 6-9pm (working)
Wednesday crack of dawn (flying home)

Oh, I forgot to mention! While I was at work, greg brought me a donut! Yummy! Heh ^^; Yes, that was important enough to mention. I was surprised by it.

Anyway, got little done at work. Then went home and put bows on christmas gifts to continue avoiding homework. Charlie invited me over to eat food with everyone cause there were ordering stuff. I LOVE being invited over to do stuff with people!

It was just the four of us, jsut like last year. Now, don't get me wrong, I love having lots of people together, but in my stressed state it was kinda comforting to fall back into old patterns. Plus I don't have to work as hard for attention. ^^; Heh...

So, I helped greg with some reading in a japanese religion book. Then we ordered chinese food. Everyone but kelly went to pick up the food. Greg and I were ramming ourselves into each other until he stepped out of the way and I fell into the street. Not cool! But we got our food and came back and food is yummy.

Eventually I had to leave. I ahte leaving, but I gave less of a fight than I usually do. I realized if I fight to leave too much, then I won't be invited over anymore. So I'll be good.

I think I'll spend the rest of the evening reading. Yes, that sounds like a plan. Got to reread some stuff for myth final....
