Uncertainty 28 March 05 - 10:44
|

a colleague of mine recently asked me what my impressions on columbia were. in a nutshell, i liked it a lot. this is a problem. because it is very clear to me that: i ought to go to OSU, i want to go to Columbia.
the reasons are mostly
financial.
truthfully, it makes me so conflicted inside that i feel sick, or, put eloquently, "it makes my tummybox feel broken." (salad fingers)
***EDIT***
im also soliciting opinions/advice from virtually everyone i know about what i should do next year, so, by all means, feel free to comment to your hearts content.

i think that the best way i could possibly start off this term is by taking another poll. therefore, that is what i will do. to make it a little different, however, this "poll" will not be quantatative, but rather a collection of responses. so here it is:
sitting in front of you is a cat. next to the cat is a piece of heavily buttered bread and a pice of string. you take the take the piece of heavily buttered bread and put it on the cat's back, butter side up. you then take the piece of string and secure the bread onto the cat by tying it around the cat's waist. in your living room, you pick up the cat/bread combination and stand on a chair. you then extend your arms and hold the cat/bread combo above your head. if you drop the cat/bread combo, which way will it land?
(when answering, please keep this in mind: "a cat always lands on its feet" & "the bread always lands butter side down")

NYC, Columbia 24 March 05 - 07:07

greetings from afar (relatively). just thought i should let everyone know, that, as it turns out, lots of commas, they have internet in new york, and, it seems that it is the same internet that we have in corvallis! amazing but true. further, we have met just about everybody here in the city and like them all, and are good friends with most.
also on a life-changingly-serious-(no sarcasm)-note we met, i kid you not, an alien/angel on the glorious and affordable nyc public transportation system. it was the m60 bus, and yes, it was our first, and undoubtably most important bus trip in the city. as it turns out, alien/angels cannot be looked at by anyone but beautiful 19-30 yr. old women or else bad things happen. because of this, angel/aliens must carry sparkly shields in front of their eyes! imagine the inconvenience! this particular alien/angel had over 5 of his sparkly shields vaporized this week alone! man, that must be hard! also, you must have a mullet and be of an indestiguishable ethnic origin and be wearing a white cutoff t-shirt underneath your sacred black leather jacket.
both hollye and myself are now staunch alien/angel believers and hope that we, at some point in our existence, can fathom some of the deep and intricate truths our "worldy-spiritual-guide" dropped on us, such as: "See you in hell busdriver!"

well, my sister is married now... to her husband no less. not sure how it is to be the brother of a married sister yet, because quite frankly, i havent been in this situation that long yet.
on another note, it sure is nice that school is out, at least for a week. strangly enough, im actually looking forward to going back. that is probably because i only have 1 "pointless" class next term, and that is spanish.
so, this post, as it turns out, isnt that interesting, but now, at least, you know where i stand.

bubbles and bombs 16 March 05 - 20:53

if i ever write an autobiography, i will name it "bubbles and bombs." why? i think it sounds pretty sweet.
you may not hear from neal and i for a few days, we'll be out of town! but don't worry. its not because we don't love you.

sometimes i dont know why 15 March 05 - 23:59
|
so unfortunately im a terrible test taker. that is to say, that, when put on the spot, im not really that good at writing down the right numbers, in the right order, in the right area. its worst when i actually want to do good in a class, and it just tears me up inside. i dont even know why. i just cant let it go. i always tell myself that its not important, its just a test, but still, i get really really uptight about it, and it just rules my emotions for a long time. too long of a time.
sometimes im just too pathetic.

tick tick tick DING 15 March 05 - 19:34

so i'm almost done. and it feels GREAT. i skipped on the way home from my obsurdly-difficult test, because quite frankly, i don't give much of a hoot about art history anymore. at least not for the next two weeks! but alas, i have hit the wall. i'm saturated in zonkedness. (don't bother looking that up). so i figure i should maintain the "real" aspect of indocilis... or should i say the "boring" side. it would be a shame to loose the readers interested in that type of stuff. yeah.

where is the love? 14 March 05 - 23:18

so. i can't help but notice the children are fighting again. something tells me neal ate all of corey's Nutella or Wheat Thins again...nothing new...but does it really merit such violent responses? let me mediate: corey! i beg you, stop your coup! i will reimburse you for said Nutella or Wheat Thins! (besides, you don't want to be indocilis webmaster, you're too cool to dedicate the time to censoring jeff's fowl mouth). this is my final offer as negotiator. if talks fail...i am defecting to gindocilis.com...may we all once live together on this fragile cybernetic ice rink of potential doom again. thank you for your time.

i just wanted to say how much i like things that are cuddly and cute and nice and sweet. bunnies and kitties, when they aren't pooing and unmelted chocolate bars are some of my favorite things. also i like to make snow angels and imagine that they love the whole world. somtimes i just feel so good and happy that my insides feel like a rainbow.

my demise 13 March 05 - 23:01
|
our roommate, while often being enjoyable company, has recently introduced something to our house that will be the root of my lower-than-usual gpa this term. the presence of this "thing" in our lives has led to the deteriorated my judgement, as evidenced by a considerable amount of time that should have been spent on schoolwork yesterday, but wasn't. please, put all of your assumptions aside and take one look at what this "thing," this recent addiction, is. when you do, you will understand why this "layer of guilt" plagues me so. <

all witicizms aside 12 March 05 - 18:43

its pretty crucial to understand, when attempting to fathom the bottomless depths that are the posts that make up the lifeblood of this site, that we are absolutely and irrevocabley serious and never ever harbor a sarcastic or disengenuous intent. if you feel uncomfortable with long sentences, pearls of wisdom, or uncanny insight, your best best is to avoid this site at all cost. otherwise feel free to stick around, make fun of the targets that move slow enough, and if it comes to it, attempt to understand what twisted virus that inhabits those of us who post.
furthermore... life is college. i was struck by how out of place i felt upon venturing forth outside of the placenta-like atmosphere that surrounds corvallis.
still unsure about school next year. nyc,ny? cv,or? a lot to weigh in my mind in terms of pro's and con's and non-factors. i think it is probably the non-factors that will play the biggest factor in making the decision. im not saying this is a good thing, but ive found a pattern in my life of worrying too much about things that dont matter.
ok.

All aboard, ye weary postmen 11 March 05 - 19:38

Neal, I think you're right. Indocilis is a wasteland - an addicting, colorful, well-designed wasteland. Its effects are strong - heck Corey doesn't even post! And yet it has turned him against you. It brings out the worst of us and calls it wit. It promotes hatesmanship and calls it jest. Perhaps your call for civility is the early detection that can cure this cancer. Neal, this ship has drifted off course but you, armed with cuddly animal photos, are an able Captain. Together we will sail to the New World....Fundocilis!

hurtfullness abounds 11 March 05 - 18:48
|
recently there has been an alarming trend in the indocilis universe. this alarming trend is the rampant proliferation and propogation of negative and mean spirited discourse. it taint is so strong that it has begun to seep into my everyday life. today for instance, corey and hollye were both mean to me for no reason at all. they said things that were... hurtful? yes. untrue? yes. downright inpolite??!? yes. i don't think i even need to tell you that the reason for all of these things is the dark and deceitful nature of indocilis. therefore i am instituting a "fun and nice policy." this must be strictly adhered to or else i will be forced to retaliate with things that wont be pleasant for anybody, even myself. and here is a picture:

as we all know, the polls have been closed for awhile now. due to a uprising of inpatient voters, poll counters had to finish their tallying with no food, drink, or extracurricular activities for the last 24 hours. but they have risen to the challenge, and emerged with results! it was a close one.
and the winner is...

the life that leads me 07 March 05 - 23:47

ah. hiatous. and back again. a journey in itself. since last we met...i have been to see 'life aquatic' three times including tonight. my cousin comes on friday to stay with me and is underage. i will most likely indulge no less than twice more before she comes. i can't seem to get enough of it. the soundtrack, the film, discussion, and the list goes on. my original date for this evening's viewing canceled. much to my not surprise. luckily, i sort of assumed so much would happen. don't you love reliable friends? instead i went with my family who now thinks i am a psycho for being so obsessed with the film. none of us knows why. i have my theories though.
do you ever just need to be klaus? i do. someone, anyone, reading this, get me a red hat.
posterity has no conconscious.
is that statement true? do we care?
we may, or may not know. what we do know is that hollye and neal are responsible for the last umpteen posts. and, ill tell you why...
the reason why is as follows:

this is just a tip for all of you lost, befuddled, and weary internet travelers:
if you don't know what else to do, or why you love this site so much, go to the
about page. Then, you will know more about us, and consequently, more about the "big picture" which, in all liklihood, you needed to know more about in the first place.
also, be sure to try the links while you are there.

the polls will close soon! 03 March 05 - 09:32
|
to all you pollsters out there: GET YOUR VOTES IN QUICK! all polls will be closing on sunday march 6, at 7pm! results will be tallied, a thorough analyzation will be done, and we should see some kind of statistical data that evening!
are you tired of those freakishly difficult tests? are you tired of working the 9-5 job? are you looking for something fun? then take my
quiz!
so here is the point i am trying to make:
i am still at school (10:48pm and counting) with no end in sight to my work here. as soon as i get home, there are two, yes two, spanish homework assignments waiting for me and a 150 word spanish essay on my favorite sports.
so here is the deal... why does everybody say that college is so much easier than a job? is it? because honestly... this kind of college is draining the life-blood from my veins faster than a vampire with an overbite. well... now ive gone and spent too much time dillydallying...
soot and poo.

"I'm one of those people who likes to think that the glass is half full - of poison! Thank you Siletz Indian Reservation! Tip your waitress!"
Of course, I'll have some jokes before the big one there, but they won't matter. Neal, you get some of the credit on this. Thanks for the inspiration, you will be rewarded in Heaven. Oh, and I want to add 10 votes for boxed wine.
