Holy Shit, this week went fast

I discovered that when you spend a good deal of the week dreading a big math test, and the test is on friday, it has the effect of making the entire week speed by. I stayed up pretty late on Thursday studying for it, for no reason: it was shockingly easy.
Holy shit, my roommate is scaring me. He's playing this really hard videogame, and he just said, "Hamster on Vaseline island." That's not even remotely related to the game in any way. I think I'll be wary whenever he's around sharp implements from now on. In fact, I think I'll steal his knife, just to be safe. The way he kinda gazes blankly into space while holding it is really starting to creep me out.
In other news, my story is getting longer all the time -- it's up to about 19 pages now, and I'll actually attempt to work on it this weekend. It started one day in Modern European civilizations when I realized that the professor was the most boring man to ever walk the face of the earth. I began writing a story out of sheer boredom, and it actually turned out / is turning out pretty awesome. What's it about? Well, it's about a hitman who goes through hell to get his target (in more ways than one) and it's sorta/kinda/not really inspired by Devil May Cry. I may put it up here eventually.
Went out to eat with my grandparents on Wednesday, they were in town to see some of their friends. It's good to see relatives again, especially when free (and good!) food is involved. I believe I'm developing an allergic reaction to cafeteria food. I start to shake uncontrollably as soon as I start to eat it, and break out in hives the size of golf balls. Shortly afterward, I hallucinate that they're serving edible food (pretty messed up, I know) and I'm able to eat whatever blob of goo is on the plate.
Thursday was crazy, absolutely crazy. I watched no fewer than 3 movies. Animal House because I was bored and putting off studying for math, and Jesus' Son and Swimming Pool for film class. The latter is terrible and horrible and should never be seen by anyone, but Jesus' Son, corny though the title may be, is a fantastic movie. I can't really describe it, but I can give you an idea of how messed up it is. At the end of the movie, I realized that you never know the main character's name, other than what some guy started calling him. This guy walks up to the main character, punches him, and says "fuckhead." So in the credits, he's simply called FH. It gets better. I have to write a 5-7 page paper on the movie, so I'm gonna say "fuckhead" each time I need to mention the main character. That'll make for an interesting paper...cuz swearing is fun.
For all the people who were totally mystified by the cell phone number, come really close, and let me put my face right in your ear to say this. IT'S A FAKE NUMBER!!! THAT'S A SONG BY TOMMY TUTONE!! That's all for now...
What happens when you replace words in a quote with "muffin" ? This happens: By the way, you need to paste that into your address bar, it's not a link. http://forums.fark.com/cgi/fark/comments.pl?IDLink=955238

First Day

Oh yeah. I should probably tell you a little about me. My name's Adam and I go to a small liberal arts college in Illinois, possibly majoring in computer science. I'm in 2 bands (hopefully 3 next year) and I'm taking trumpet lessons so I'll get in the good jazz band next year (I love music, if you couldn't tell already). Those are the basic facts. On to the stupidity!
So today me and Sean (my roommate) were walking back from dinner (meatloaf for the 3rd time in as many days) and talking about stupid stuff, and this girl comes down the path towards us, when sean says, "Possibly. But if your entire body was made of sugar, you could be allergic to water and still live." She gives us the weirdest look I have ever seen. It was a combination of "I wonder what they're talking about?" and "Must. Stay. Away. From. Psychopaths." Played trumpet for at least 2 hours today, my chops are going to be really tired after lessons tomorrow. So yesterday, this song by Hendrix comes on iTunes that I hadn't heard in forever. I must have listened to that song 10 times in the past 2 days. Jimi Hendrix -- And the Wind Cries Mary.

After all the jacks are in their boxes
And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
Footprints dressed in red
And the wind whispers Mary

A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life
Somewhere, a Queen is weeping
Somewhere a King has no wife
And the wind, it cries Mary

The traffic lights, they turn blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island sags downstream
Cuz the life that lived is dead
And the wind screams Mary

Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past
And with this crutch, its old age, and its wisdom
It whispers no, this will be the last
And the wind cries Mary

I'll try not to do song lyrics very often, everyone seems to do that. But this was so good I had to. I couldn't help it. Don't get mad at me for it. Hey what are you...POINT THAT AT SOMEONE ELSE!

A Day to Start

Hi there! Welcome to "Discovering Dementia," in which I'll talk what is or isn't going on in this mixed-up world we live in. I'll also talk about my personal life, and random thoughts. In other words, it's a journal with a little bit of reality tossed in to spice things up a bit. I tend to go along with Mr. George Carlin when it comes to the world. Instead of taking everything seriously, and worrying about how to make things better, we should laugh at all the stupid stuff that people do. As Albert Einstein said, "Only two things are infinite. The universe and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the former."
