sniffnoy0 MORE DIGESTS! 0 MORE DIGESTS!
Stupid pep rallies. This one was neat, though, because, unexpectedly, John Ahn and someone else ran across the stage behind the people carrying a sign saying "200? ♥ Tom Hanks". The ? is a digit, but I'm not sure what it was.[0] Later they ran by with a sign saying "Tom Hanks > All".
Since those guys who go on stage with no shirt on with "B" and "T" written on their chests are seniors, they did a thing where they officially passed on their job to two other people, with "b" and "t" written on their chests. During this, Colin and Ralph (was it Ralph? I don't quite recall) suddenly ran onstage also with no shirt on - in an attempt to confuse people, perhaps? Later we saw Colin suddenly run onstage (still shirtless), do a backflip, and leave, and later yet him riding on the back of John Ahn (was it John Ahn? I don't quite remember) being chased by what's-his-name,he's-a-senior,he-does-a-lot-of-stage-crew-stuff with a broom.
Still pretty awful, though.
Anyway, with nothing better to do...
1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says:
Gilgamesh reflected. He said to his servant Enkidu, "I have not established
(The book is the Blue Brick; obviously this is from its awful prose translation of Gilgamesh.)
2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first?
Um... nothing?
3. What is the last thing you watched on TV?
A random bit of Jay Leno, last night.
4. WITHOUT LOOKING, guess what time it is.
Um... 18:30? Probably more like 18:15... no, wait! It's after 20:00, what am I saying? Say 20:15.
5. Now look at the clock, what is the actual time?
19:30:58. Nevermind.
6. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?:
Music from Elana's room. Also just now the laundry chute opening.
7. When did you last step outside? what were you doing?
Approximately 17:00 today, stepping off the bus home.
8. Before you came to this website, what did you look at?
My own LJ?
9. What are you wearing?
Red long-sleeve shirt, khaki pants which are too big (the ones that fit are in the wash), thankfully my shirt is long enough that this is not an embarrassment. Also socks, underwear, T-shirt.
10. Did you dream last night?
Not that I recall.
11. When did you last laugh?
Reading the bestofs today.
12. What is on the walls of the room you are in?
Bulletin board. Window. Several awards my parents have hung up. I Spy School Days Balloon Popper poster, signed by Walt Wick. 2 more windows. Another bulletin board. Mets pennants (not that I'm a Mets fan; my parents are. That explains the one from 1986 (my birthyear) - how, then, do I explain the ones from 2000? Honestly, I don't know.). Clock. Escher painting... what's it called again? The one with the stairs that go in circles. A map of the Santa Fe Trail I made in 3rd grade.
13. Seen anything weird lately?
Today's pep rally? That the formula for pyrite is FeS2?
14. What do you think of this quiz?
Think?
15. What is the last film you saw?
Part of Spaceballs, when my cousins were over.
16. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy first?
I'd be too lazy. Whenever I did, though, presumably the first thing would buy would be Illuminati: Crimelords, because I've been meaning to buy that anyway. Not that I need any more money to buy that, I've just been too lazy to do so. Or maybe it would just be some M&Ms from a vending machine. Unless it was out, in which case it might be Fritos or potato chips.
17. Tell me something about you that I don't know.
Well, I have no idea who you are, but I'm going to guess that you don't know that I'm using the same Blue Brick that Jon Chu used last year.
18. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?
Get rid of Microsoft, because at least there's a limit on how long Bush can be president.
19. Do you like to dance?
I can dance?
20. George Bush: is he a power-crazy nutcase or some one who is finally doing something that has needed to be done for years?
See question 18.
21a. Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?
Emphasis on "imagine", obviously, but... well, "Delphine" is a really cool name. And, I suppose this is a bit mean, but "Sydney" and "Adelaide" are both names, so how about "Canberra" or "Brisbane"? Or even "Perth"? ("Hobart", "Darwin", and "Melbourne" just don't work.) (And I suppose it's really no more mean than naming your kid "Sydney" or "Adelaide" in the first place.)
22b. Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?
"Guybrush"! Or perhaps just the much more common "Guy", which is mean enough. :)
Wow. There's some really weird names out there, looking at http://www.census.gov/genealogy/names/ . Who knew "Eugene" could be a female name? :-/

[0]I suppose most of you reading this don't know about the whole Tom Hanks thing, do you? Essentially there's this one freshman, Leon Ratz, who looks a lot like Tom Hanks. At first it was calling out "Tom Hanks!" to him when he passed by. Now it's just become inserting references to Tom Hanks whenever possible.
