Productivity isn't in my vocabulary today...I've had pretty much the entire evening to work on it, but do I? Of course not. Haaa...
Last night wasn't too bad at the front desk. I at least had Michelle and Terrance to keep me company through most of it. I did have one interesting experience though, I had one of 3rd Beede's residents named Danny say that he needed to ask me a question. It went something like this:
Danny: I have a ? for you
Me: Yesssss?
Danny: Will you be my gf?
Danny: lol
Danny: jk
Me: Bahahaha!
Danny: but really
(Pause that went much longer than expected)
Danny: do you know any notary of the publics?
It was a very funny joke, but if he weren't....I'd have no effin' clue what I'd do. Other than say no. Because honestly, I'm not lowering my standards again. And one of those standards is that the guy is older than me. :/
I was totally gonna tell Hot Canadian Bacon about it that night, too, but he never came back to the front desk. Apparently he had spent the rest of the night cursing out managerial finance, as he hates anything involving numbers. Ironic, since he's getting a master's in business. :P
Speaking of which, HCB was in a bad mood tonight. I'd been at the front desk when he finally came back from the library (or where I assumed he had been), only to be promptly attacked from all sides by Kati, Bobbi and Alex about receipts and charge cards for programming crap. He looked tired as it was, but damn...I rolled on over to him in meh chair, and was there for all of three seconds when he said "I don't wanna talk about it" and walked off. So I sat there and stared after him with the look of o.o
Although, I wasn't going to bother him about it. Didn't send a text or follow after him. If he wants to talk, he knows he can...and he sort of did. About ten, fifteen minutes later after I went back to my room, I got a text from him actually apologizing for being so short with me earlier. I guess I was more surprised than anything else that he'd been willing to apologize right then, much less realize that he really kinda was. I just told him that it was cool, and that I'd either expected it a little or just knew that he was being worked too hard. But I made sure he knew that if he needed anything, I had his back. :P Even though I do kinda know that he would've sent that text to anyone, because he does have his guilty moments. There's been times that he'd say he won't go and keep Michelle company while she smokes outside because he has homework, and he'd go and do it anyway because he'd feel guilty. But it's better than nothing.....mostly because for a short time I'd wondered if he was actually mad at me about something. :/
Then later we went to Dairy Queen with Michelle and Jessie. And yes, it was a glorious trip filled with way too much food for 10 pm. :P
And just because I can point it out, sometimes I feel like I take one step forward and two steps back. Just sayin'. Freaking blondes...
Fuck, I'm watching Alice in Wonderland and I'm having a hard time staying awake. Moreso because I still have homework to finish up, or at least some of it. D:
Double fuck, it's almost 3:30 and I still want to shower. Do I dare put off the paper portion again so that I can actually get some sleep? Gah.... :/

I'm Most Productive at 2 AM...
I don't know if I'm going to blog about Monday. I admit, I fucked up Sunday night, and I think I paid for it all of Monday. So to cover the past couple of hours....
I've been surprisingly studious tonight, getting things done! I managed to type up the stories for the Honors Association tunnel tours and email them to Katie, then find and edit the rules to Beede's Quidditch match they're going to hold on Halloween....oh yes, fun story there. We thought up of having a Quidditch match. Those who were most interested were Laurel and the rest of Beede staff (of course not Mick, we can't get shit done most of the time :P ), and Hot Canadian Bacon was totally on board with it. What was I able to bring to the table? Oh yeah, Sioux Falls Quidditch League. So I found the rules on the Facebook page and let Laurel & HCB edit the rules so that it fit their match. I then edited it in Word and emailed/printed a copy for HCB. Oh yesssssss.
The rest of the night has been a study session. HCB and I took residence in the HD office, where he's working on his notes for tomorrow's test and I'm working on French and, well, everything else. :P
Granted, we're on totally opposite sides of the room. Which is how I'm able to get away with this whole blogging biz. But hey, at least he doesn't have his headphones in this time...

Today Is a Good Day
Hmmm, how to sum up today.....it was pretty much amazing, despite this headache that decided to form now. To start, I went to bed at 3am (as per usual pretty much). Woke up at 9am. Stayed in bed till 9:30. Finally rolled out of bed to prep for my adventure to Sioux Falls with Sam and Jean. Found out that Sam didn't wake up till 10, wait for her to come pick me up, and we hit the road at 10:45. Our blessed road adventures then involved many Canada jokes, singing badly to Sam's iPod, and rocking out to cheesy pop and hip hop music. Oh yes!
Our first and main stop was at the mall. Had to wander around the entire thing so we could make all the stops, which included visiting Sam's friend John as he worked at Hollister and wandering through Abercrombie & Fitch. It was so amusing, we walked into Abercrombie and Sam & Jean start coughing up a storm from the cologne. I apparently just stop breathing to ignore it. :P We also did some Halloween shopping at the Halloween Boutique and Spencer's. Lots of debating about what to get for Sam and Jean, but it was worth it!
Best shopping of the day: Victoria's Secret. Oh yesss. I'd told myself that I'm going to walk out with SOMETHING from the store, and indeed I did. Three pairs of underwear and a bra to match one of them. Bright red. Holy crap. :3
We then went over to Last Stop CD Shop to see if I could find a cheap copy of Alice in Wonderland. Sad thing was they didn't have a standard copy available, but they checked the Blue-ray copies...and whadya know, they had a Blue-ray/standard/digital copy disc available. $15. I snagged that shit up so fast... :D
However, now Sam likes to call Hot Canadian Bacon my boytoy. I don't know what to think about that...I told them that he doesn't like me that way, as far as I can tell at least. And he still believes that he can't date any of the other staff, much less students. But if he were....amg. :3
Speaking of which, still on the fence. He's still on the belief that of the women he's attracted to, it's the psychotic/bitchy women. Or at least the ones where you don't know they're psychotic till much later. I figured why not try and threw out there "Vicious?" And he nodded slowly staring off into space. The amusing part? He said the reason I'm his #2 on his desperate-measures-to-get-American-citizenship-CA-marriage list was all because of the viciousness, right behind Sarah. He's yet to update that list lately, so hmm. >.>
Sarah is so very accident prone, too....with her sleepwalking and anxiety medications to help her sleep, she had a nice large scrape just below her eye when she showed up for CA class today. Our running joke since then was that I punched her in the eye, and that's how she got it. I'm quite proud of my work then, lol! And yes, it's a joke I'll take pride in, considering I've actually never punched anyone in the face...plus I'm not exactly built for it. Too damn small to throw a decent punch. :P
Also, random fact: Apparently Thursday night was a lot crazier than I knew. Could we say...HCB's staff member Dillon may want to duck quicker the next time HCB goes in to kiss him on the cheek. Bahaha!

Not Meh Problem
Freshmen: The most....ah hell, screw sarcasm. They're the worst problem solvers I know. You were looking for me tonight? Yo, you left that note at 1:30 AM at the earliest. 3 AM at the latest. Why the eff are you looking for me at that time?
How about this.... 1) If I'm not in my room and you're too lazy to go check the front desk, GO ASK TAIT. He doesn't bite, even if he is quiet. But I'm not your only CA.
And 2) You know, all of you girls use Facebook to contact your friends. Yet only one of you has voluntarily added me on Facebook. Hmm....ever thought of contacting me through there? Or is that too difficult for you? Now have I made myself clear? :)
Meh, I don't feel much pity for people searching for me that late at night. This is college. I can be at any number of places: At the library, at home, on vacation, with a friend on another floor, blah blah blah....and considering how often I've had problems trying to find residents during normal waking hours, I don't feel much pity.
For some reason, I have a bad feeling that the note might've had something to do with a resident puking in their room. No confirmation of that, but considering how the residents were tonight...it is possible. And for that, I say they can handle it anyway. It's in their private residence, and we're not their maids. However, I'd be able to help just as a friend, but uh-uh, I'm not the person to ask if you want it cleaned up by someone else. >:/

Entertaining Myself....GO
This is the time where I come up with useless crap to say to entertain myself while working at the front desk from 2 to 6, while everyone else mills is coming and going to tailgating and the football game. Which starts at 4. Gahhhhh....
2:18 - I had just realized that I let Hot Canadian Bacon's real name slip in one of these posts. Good luck finding it, though, because it comes up multiple times, yet I wasn't speaking of the same person. Frigging luck there, right? :P
Amp is an all right replacement for when I can't get my Dr Pepper fix. But only all right, but not quite satisfactory or excellent. I also just noticed the reason that I've always thought Amp tasted like a hyped-up Mountain Dew.....Mountain Dew's on the can. Huh.
Last night in our cologne conversation, HCB let it slip that he was wearing Drakkar Noir at the time. I freaked out a little bit. Mostly because when I was younger, that was my favorite of all favorite colognes. For a pretty obvious reason...
Oh yeah. :D
Speaking of which, I'm thinking of making another Harvey Prince purchase. Before I absolutely had to get the Eau Flirt scent that had come out, just a little bit of it, which was my splurged present to myself last year. Now apparently they came out with a body lotion with the scent or something, which I'd be able to use whenever/wherever etc etc....I'm tempted to buy some. Even if it is wayyy beyond what I would spend at Bath & Body Works. It's so good though... D:
3:02 - Dr Horrible's Sing-Along is epic. For it being such a tragedy, it's so freaking awesome...yeah. And just now, a student and her parents walked by right as Captain Hammer said "The hammer is my penis." AMGGGGG I'm both appalled and can't stop giggling. :D
5:22 - I've got 40 minutes left. Yay! But I had to check in a couple residents because both of their new CAs were gone, and then on top of it I couldn't find the RCC for their room. Grawrrrr...so I had to make a new RCC for them.
5:29 - HCB now knows that I have a blog. Not this blog. But a blog. And holy shit did he pull out of the parking lot fast just now..... o.o Also, we're up 7-6 against UNI. Haaaaa.
6:21 - Umm, where the fuck is my co? He's supposed to work 6 to 8. I'M STILL HERE.
Meh, I'd be here anyway, but at least I'd be at the front desk eating something. Most likely Burger King, since it's right there across the street...fuck I'm hungry, too. :/ My problem is he forgets shit all the time. And I'm so torn.....I want to tell him to get his ass down here now, but at the same time, I wouldn't mind making another two hours' pay. Even though I've got a bit too many hours as it is. :/
Fuck it, I'm going to remind him. I'm done with the move-in guys and I even finished organizing HCB's programming shit already. Speaking of which, I think I'm allergic to programming. It made my eyes physically hurt to look at all the proposals and evaluations...oww.
6:33 - We're now losing 19-7. Ahh well.
11:13 pm - Ahh yeah, so rather than writing a new post, I'm editing. Woo! Well we lost, 19-16 or something like that. Meh, I was stuck at the desk the whole time anyway.
HCB told me he owed me one for helping with organizing his programming crap. I told him he owed me lots of ones. He knew that already though, lulz. This may mean he'll feed me sometime, yuss! He started asking if I like sushi or not, apparently my answer of "Never had it" didn't cut it. Saying yes to fish did, though? I dunno.
Also, Sam and Jean and I have ironed out the details to our Sioux Falls trip tomorrow. 10am we're hitting the road to the mall! Must remember that I also want to do shoe shopping and Last Stop CD Shop...but mostly this trip is for Victoria's Secret. We made a point of it about a week ago. Yay for planning!

Is This Real Life.....
Gawd, my head hurts and I don't know what it's from. Had it since before noon, so who knows what. :/
This morning Jordan and I went soda shopping for the Honors Lounge again. She's finally had it with the soda stocking, more so because she's heard freshmen bitch and whine about the selection of soda in the fridge. Like we care when it's college and all you want is the caffeine intake. So when we were shopping, we were trying to remember the list of what went over well usually....then I saw the Canada Dry. Annnnd it was instantly AMG WE MUST :3
We bought the Canada Dry, along with a bunch of other random soda brands that we don't normally get. They're either going to be pissed, or happy as can be. I'm trying to imagine the reactions of the freshmen if the see the Canada Dry, absolute hilarity because HCB is the hall director to the Honors floor, or hatred because it reminds them of HCB, after he ruined their dance parties in the lounge. :D
With Canada Dry in hand, I was dropped off at the front desk and prepared for my noon to 2pm shift. I prepared by getting myself an Amp. So at 11am I'd had a Canada Dry, finished off by noon when I had an Amp. Finished that off by 1pm. Had part of a Dr Pepper at 3pm, and finished it off at 10. Oww.
During my desk shift, we also just had to have a fire alarm. Stupid freshmen trying to fry tortillas in an inch of oil. An INCH. On 1st Beede, no less, so I could smell it at the front desk when I came back from our door-locking. It wasn't too bad though, thank gawd it was at 1 in the afternoon as opposed to say, now. I swear, if there's an alarm at 3am, we're all going to murder someone...
Then I went out to eat with Jordan at Chea's, which was awesome. Nice time to catch up with her before she goes back home to see her new baby sister, and I got amazing Chinese food! :D I'd told HCB about it beforehand, which made him want Chinese too. I told him he should come along, but nuuuu he wanted to go to Silk Road just two doors down and have whatever to go so that he could eat and work at the same time. And afterward he said the yellow curry he had wasn't that great anyway, so serves him right for turning us down. :3
After that was Despicable Me, which was adorableeee! Probably would've been funnier if I wasn't so tired already, but ah well. It was still so very fluffy. <3
I then held down the desk for Laurel as she worked on a paper. Gawd, I'm resenting the time that I have to write my memo and annotated bibliography for my class....she managed to write her memo in about an hour and a half though, which was pretty impressive. So I edited it while HCB looked at my Cosmo magazine and talked about cologne. /facepalm
Lots of people around tonight, though. The mass of freshmen band geeks that would take over the front desk whenever they came by, Brandie and her friend Patrice coming to practice lighting her baton with HCB for tomorrow's tailgating, the same mass that followed them out there to watch....holy crap, so much estrogen that I'm a little overwhelmed. :/
Laurel's afraid that Brandie just might like HCB after all. And when Laurel's afraid....whoa boy. But she had that extremely wary look on her face, I just gave her the tired look, he got the headshake from me at one point....my head hurts just thinking about it. Long story short, all but three balloons remain out of some 12 or 15 from this morning (they were out for Family Weekend, must make it look all pretty for what few parents we had come and visit!) thanks to HCB inhaling the helium, I'm debating about going to tailgating tomorrow to see more HCB and Brandie or try to sleep in, and HCB realized tonight that he gets at least one friend request on facebook a day, and it's always girls adding him. No surprise there, huh?
Tidbit of the night: HCB said something tonight about how for work, he's going to be spending winter break by going back to modeling. I know he's done it in the past, but I'm starting to wonder if it was just for the benefit of Patrice and Brandie. Because he would, and he always does. :P

High School Is So Over, Kthxbai!
For being about what, two days behind, I've got a bit to cover....so to start.
Not much else really happened until around 4pm, when I was at the front desk enjoying my downtime. No soccer tonight for some reason, instead it was now Thursday night. Which was probably a good thing, because around that time I suddenly had Holly (yes, THAT 401 room again) and Anna (bitchy one who doesn't know where her headphones jack is on her computer) coming to me at the front desk about switching roommates. Well apparently Anna didn't know her roommate Rachel had just gotten the OK to move into her new room. Gah, big mistake telling them that she was moving out anyway, because suddenly Holly was all on the ball about moving her stuff out of 401 and into Anna & Rachel's room, 403. Fuck, Rachel hadn't even gotten her new key yet and they were already trying to infiltrate. Of course they'd at least waited until Holly had finished filling out the room change request, but ahem.....you're supposed to wait till the hall director AND assistant director Lindsay had approved it. So technically, it was an illegal move-in. Ah well. The funny part was that then Sami (vacuum-fail 401) came to the desk saying she just didn't want to live on the same floor as Holly period, so I gave her a form to fill out, also. She was lucky, however, because who had just showed up? Lindsay. So Lindsay was nice enough to fill out the rest of it with her and approve it right there on the spot. Holy crap, now that was generous considering how fucking crazy all these girls have been....
On the upside, today I got an email from Rachel's mom thanking us for the swift room change. Wish it could've been quicker since she'd put in the request two weeks ago and they hadn't gotten to it till then, but ah well. Glad to be of service! :P
I'm still surprised that Lindsay and Kristi approved of Holly's room change, but ah well. Not going to question their logic every time. Meh.
6pm was my astronomy lab, which was all right. More fun was the Walmart trip afterward with Jean to do some shopping. Mostly because I owed Jordan a pair of earbuds. So I also threw in a 24-pack box of fruit snacks and a chicken rice 2-pack to make it up to her. For myself, I got string cheese, Jello cups that were actually the ORIGINAL kind, and a small pumpkin! Quite a successful trip, actually. :3
Actually, my day didn't really pick up until 6 when I went to the Commons to eat with Kacee and a couple of her residents. After we ate, HCB came up not long after dressed in his soccer gear. Apparently the other team didn't show up, so our team won by forfeit, but that at least made me feel better for not being there. He was also on a mission to get started on a calendar he wanted to put up on the bulletin board next to the Bump (convenience store peoples), but apparently my Co is not a person to ask when you want to get things cut out....and since no one was really jumping at the bit to go to the programming room and help, I decided I might as well. I also added in the fact that I didn't have anything pressing to do since I don't have classes Friday, so I enjoyed listening to HCB bitch a little about that. :3
So I went on an adventure to the programming room with him. It involved a lot of bitching about how crappy the diecut choices were, but how they're so freaking expensive, etc etc....he also had to include Canadian Thanksgiving into the calendar, which made me giggle. It was also a lot of him singing, particularly the same three/four lines over and over that was stuck in his head but he couldn't place what movie it was from.....thanks to him, I now can't listen to Total Eclipse of the Heart without laughing. :P It wasn't a particularly long adventure, only a half hour or so, but it was still fun!
Then of course, he had to get his flirtatious side out when Brandie came to the front desk. It's bad enough when some of the female residents walk by, primarily the ones involved in volleyball or some other sport. Brandie's our twirler for marching band and is a good friend of Laurel's, so I've known her for a little while--but he's also not very subtle when she's around. Which doesn't really seem to help the fact that she found him creepy the first time she met him....I'm almost certain that creepy feeling is still around, just to a tolerable level. She does have the whole athletic, blonde, and over 21 things going for her, however.
I have to admit, I am surprised that I've spent as much time as I have with him the past few days--alone for that matter. Of course, nothing ever happens 'cause he's technically my boss. But to wander around campus & Slagle Hall with him, and now work on bulletin board stuff, that's pretty cool. I still don't know why he felt the need to share that he gained about 12 lbs in the past week because of his shitty gluten-filled diet, but I'm not taking for granted the fact that he was willing to share that with me. And it's always little stuff that I pick up, too--like how today I learned that one of his favorite bands is Led Zeppelin. Random things like that.
I'm starting to wonder if I've done too good of a job hiding the fact that I like him. It's not a bad thing because I don't have to worry about what the other CAs would think or what repercussions would happen, but at the same time, it may take some work to dig out of that hole when May comes around....but at the same time, I'm not one to say "You have to wait for the next 7 months until you can start dating again" because wtf? Meh... oh well.
All right, two things to accomplish before I go to bed: Put up posters, and take a shower. Now go!
Wednesday
After my French class, I went back to the dorms to make a call to the attorney general's office. The main problem has been that since September 29, I've been getting random phone numbers calling me, all of them from different states. I always ignored them because I just assumed they were looking for the real Mr. Schlagel again, but then I started wondering.....so I googled the numbers, and turned out that five of them were all connected to this Portfolio Recovery Associates business in Norfolk VA. Great, I had a fraudulent debt collection agency calling my number. I had about three other numbers calling, but those were other suspicious spam calls, so I put my phone on the Do Not Call list Sunday night. Anyway, the attorney's office was very friendly to me on the phone, but they just ended up directing me to the complaint form online. Ugh. So I filled that out when I got back to my room, no big deal.Not much else really happened until around 4pm, when I was at the front desk enjoying my downtime. No soccer tonight for some reason, instead it was now Thursday night. Which was probably a good thing, because around that time I suddenly had Holly (yes, THAT 401 room again) and Anna (bitchy one who doesn't know where her headphones jack is on her computer) coming to me at the front desk about switching roommates. Well apparently Anna didn't know her roommate Rachel had just gotten the OK to move into her new room. Gah, big mistake telling them that she was moving out anyway, because suddenly Holly was all on the ball about moving her stuff out of 401 and into Anna & Rachel's room, 403. Fuck, Rachel hadn't even gotten her new key yet and they were already trying to infiltrate. Of course they'd at least waited until Holly had finished filling out the room change request, but ahem.....you're supposed to wait till the hall director AND assistant director Lindsay had approved it. So technically, it was an illegal move-in. Ah well. The funny part was that then Sami (vacuum-fail 401) came to the desk saying she just didn't want to live on the same floor as Holly period, so I gave her a form to fill out, also.

Thursday
Ahhh, Thursdays are always a bitch because I end up having to work the front desk from midnight to 3am, then get up at 8 for my French class. I was at least semi-conscious this time. Barely. I was trying my hardest to stay awake in Newswriting while listening to our guest speaker (he worked for the Washington Post, it was pretty sweet). XDIS was a special waste of time today because they made it a group work day.....yeah, when we have nothing to work on as a group. Fantastic! So we got as much done as possible, then left to go to the Honors lounge. I love the lounge, it's always fun in there!Actually, my day didn't really pick up until 6 when I went to the Commons to eat with Kacee and a couple of her residents. After we ate, HCB came up not long after dressed in his soccer gear. Apparently the other team didn't show up, so our team won by forfeit, but that at least made me feel better for not being there.
