popo_liciousOh, LiveJournal! How I've missed you so! TT__TT It's hard to believe—at least for me—but it's seriously been like, three months since I've made a normal post. Hopefully this entry will go well and I’ll be able to get back in the swing of things. It’s time for change! >:D
Speaking of the election, I did my part and voted yesterday. It was... interesting, to say the least. Not the actual voting aspect, but more-so getting to my polling place and waiting in line and all that. First of all, my voting location was in the middle of nowhere. It was at St. Michael’s Lutheran Church, which is located in a desolate, barren field off of Interstate 81, and some four and a half miles from campus. As I have no car, and no knowledge of the area, I probably wouldn’t have been able to vote yesterday had it not been for a local community group shuttling students back and forth from their voting areas.
When I finally got there, I was shocked to see how tiny the place was. I mean, it was tiny. Queuing up was awful because they were trying to get three lines of people—each about a two-hundred or so deep—to funnel down this small, cramped back corridor of the church. ((It reminds me of graduation, when the entire senior class was forced to wait in the back of the Patriot Center. XP )) Everything was fine when I went to vote, but I was really happy to be out of there and on my way. I have no idea who was in charge of picking and choosing which students were supposed to vote where, but they need a new system. They sent the eight smallest dorms to the Blacksburg Library and Community Center—large venues. They sent the eleven largest dorms to, well, St. Michael’s. I don’t see a lot of sense in that, but… oh well, right? ;)
I wrote a few fun mini-entries over the last few weeks, covering all sorts of subjects. A lo of them were about my roommate to be honest, particlarly the early ones, but seeing as most of them were less than complimentary, they didn't get posted. I decided to choose one, and this entry was the clear winner. XD
I found out it wasn’t ramen. It actually was curry. Instant, microwavable curry. But that’s a non-issue now, so there’s nothing to worry about. There is an odor though. Have any of you been inside a Korean persons house? More specifically, their kitchen? There’s a smell… It’s like, pickled vegetables and ripe cantaloupe. That’s what my room smells like. I think Lori said she knows what I’m talking about. XP Anyways, I just mask everything with Oust and tactfully placed air-fresheners. I don’t know about Hahyung's side of the room, but mine smells delicious.
I also wrote this last week. It’s not roommate related, but still post worthy.
D’Awwww! XD We actually haven’t had class since that happened, but just this past weekend, I was out to dinner with a friend of mine, and he happened to show up at the restaurant with his family. Ironically enough, I was telling my buddy about him at the time. I looked up to see he smiling, waving figure in the window. LOL.
I’ve met a handful of people here who I can say I’m close with, though there’s only two people I can really say I’m particularly chummy with. One is Sean, who I met way back at orientation. He’s my awesome, gay male friend who I can talk to about anything and is always willing to hang out. And then there’s Stephanie. We hit it off instantly. She loves Nintendo ((Her first care package included an SNES and some games.)), loves anime, likes to draw, is totally normal/not an otaku, and conveniently lives with DS range of me. ((There’s one room between us.)) I can’t even describe how awesome it is that we’re friends—we were talking about Super Smash Brothers the other day and hugged when we found out that we each played as Roy in Melee. XD
“Goodnight room. Goodnight moon. Goodnight cow jumping over the moon. Goodnight light, and the red balloon...”
I’m getting a little sleepy, but I think I’ll be writing again real soon. It feels nice to be back! And next time I’m back in town, Andrew… I want to hear you Yo-Yo-Ma-reading-Good-Night-Moon-impression. XD
Love,
Popo

"My room smells like curry and old ramen. My clothes smell like curry and old ramen. I smell like curry and old ramen.
I don't know what to do. O______O;
All my roommate eats is this freaking nasty, supposedly ultra-spicy ramen that reeks! She makes it for lunch every single day of the week and has it for dinner on occasion as well. The entire top compartment of her closet is just filled with boxes and boxes of it--it's like, an infinite supply.
At first, I didn't mind, because, you know, the smell hadn't permeated my sheets and clothes and the rug and my hair and all that. But now? When you walk into my room? You're hit with this disgusting blast of STINK that's reminiscent of week-old Indian food and B.O. I had my friend Sean come up stairs last night to get his opinion, and he flat out told me that yes, the room smells disgusting. I had Radeya--my spicy-food-loving Bangladeshi friend--check it out today, and even she said this placed smelled awf--OH GOD! NO! SHE'S MAKING SOME RIGHT NOW! TT____TT
Anyways, it must be pretty bad when someone from Bangladesh of all places tells you that your room smells like a nasty curried something-or-other.
I just don't know what to do. I've sprayed copious amounts of air-freshener/odor-removal spray around the room when she's out. I clean the microwave regularly. I have a normal air freshener in my closet. The windows are always open. SIGH."

So--this boy from my Economics class, who’s been very blatantly trying to get my attention for the past two weeks, went out of his way to talk to me after class. It was cute. ^o^ I was on the phone with my mom on the way back from class, and I saw him walk up to me out of the corner of my eye, looking kinda… purposeful. I wrapped up the conversation, and before I knew it, he was walking beside me, trying to make conversation. I can’t really say he’s my type, but he seems very nice, for what it’s worth.

Is it like in the movies where girls talk to gay guys about girly things? :O
It’s time for change! >:D
YOU VOTED FOR OBAMA I'M ON TO YOU! >:(

Date: 11/6/08 01:13 pm (UTC)Haha! Sometimes Sean has his moments, but usually when that happens, he's jokingly trying to fill the gay stereotype. He wears cool clothes and sometimes I talk about cute boys with him, but for the most part, he's just like any other kid.
I actually voted for McPalin, but... To be honest, I didn't really care about the outcome all that much. (I'm not apathetic; I was just in a mental deadlock over who I wanted to be president.) I liked both candidates almost equally, and as long assomeone is replacing Bush, that's fine with me. In 2004, I feel like we had two really incompetent candidates running for office, and I wanted neither of them to win. But in this election, I felt like two really solid candidates had been presented, and both had the potential to be capable leaders.

Date: 11/7/08 12:57 am (UTC)It's the Revered Dyamondoso, The Samurai from Atlanta Georgia
unless you mean, me reciting Goodnight moon while playing the Cello.
xD
and don't forget Bohemian Rhapsody.
and speaking of Queen, I know you haven't been listening to them much, but Queen + Paul Rodgers Released there new CD, The Cosmos Rock? it's ok.
There's this one song called "Say it's not True"
and Lol I dunno why I like it so much, It starts with Roger T being all very deep and emotional about things, then all of a sudden, Brian May had to geek it up by saying "but the wonder's of science (echo Science) GEEZ.
haha
Re: Dearest Anna,
Date: 11/7/08 01:26 am (UTC)I thought you referenced Goodnight Moon from the inspirational poster in the library...? Well, whatever impression it was, I thought it was hilarious. XD
I've heard about the new album, as EMI spams me on a regular basis even after removing myself from the mailing list. XP I haven't actually listened to it but that's mostly because I've been doubting if it's actually any good or not. I don't really like the direction the band has taken over the last four or five years--Roger is the new John in that he no longer has any say in things because of Brian. It's all about Brian. Blah, blah, blah. Look at me and my ginormous hair. XD
Say It's Not True has been out for a few years, actually. It's a popular song at the new generation of concerts, though this is it's first official release barring the live album from a few years ago. Do you mean that Brian sings a bit in this version? It used to be Roggie's song... SEE WHAT I MEAN? XD
Re: Dearest Anna,
Date: 11/7/08 01:45 am (UTC)yeah
OH yeah i forgot about that stupid poster in the library! xD
Lol yeah the lines to the song are sooo meh.
I dont really like that CD again the only song I lied was say it's not true. it's all nice and calm when Roger sings all of a sudden it picks up when brian plays and sings about Science and wonders and cocktails he can't afford. then Paul kicks it up 4 notches and is Like FUCK YEAH SAY IT AINT TRUE. (with brian and his AWESOME GUITARING)
but I realized I didnt even post my original post.
you know they purposely moved the Polling places away from VTech just to prevent College voters to vote?
SUPER HOMO GOVERNMENT SUPER HOMO
