Catch-up

Where to begin?? It's been so long. I think I'll have to go for the mini-versions of stories rather than full-on suspenseful and interesting~ well-spun yarns.

1. Assassins Update
This week our immunity was toilet paper trailing from the bottom of our shoes. The rule was it had to be two pieces or more otherwise, no immunity. Ya'll, this immunity fucking sucks. (At least it did until I figured out that the key is to tuck inside your shoe and let it trail but not step on it.) On Tuesday, by far one of the five most craptastic days of the semester (for assassin-independent reasons), I narrowly escaped death. And when I say narrowly escaped, I mean they had to get out the defibrilators for me. My assassin hit me on the head with a sock (ok, really it was just a tap) as I was unpacking my computer just before class. She did not believe that I had two pieces and said she had to try because she'd been following me around for so long. She was very nice and I was very pissy (although I later apologized b/c it had nothing to do with her). I untaped my tp and showed her that it was, in fact, 2 pieces. But just. It had become ragged and torn, and she totally could've been an ass about it, but she was very cool. She said "ok, you win!"

Yesterday we received email saying: "There are 10 assassins left. Open Season is declared. You may now kill any of the remaining assassins, but we're not giving photos or class schedules." We still have immunity, for now, but even still, in less than 24 hours, 4 of the top 10 have been felled.

My former target continues to be insanely hard core and impossible to kill. She, me, and my former assassin are the most religious of the immunity-wearers, so we'll see what happens. Hopefully I can take out one of the other three tomorrow.

2. TomKat/Spederline Update
I totally forgot to do this last week, but the only news there was they they smooched on camera at the Anaheim Angels game. This week there were erroneous rumors that Katie had given birth to their spawn, but those turned out not to be true. She looks like any minute she's going to pop, so it shant be long now....

K-Fed's birthday was sometime this week. Yeah, I don't know why that's worth mentioning either. Britney has been spotted boozing it up, so that should allay the preggers rumors, although the poison pen that is Perez Hilton thinks she had that problem "taken care of." Us Weekly or In Touch or some such rag reported that she moved out; and there was also something about how she put him on a strict allowance. But eh.

Advantage: TomKat. If I were a betting woman, this week my money's on Spederline calling it quits before the Cruiseazies.

3. Life Update
Uh, yeah, school sucks. It is preventing me from blogging about more important things and from blogging more frequently. Moreover, it's preventing me from getting my ever-growing fat ass to the gym. Although, maybe that's not such a bad thing in light of the down-to-the-wire-ness of Assassins lately - I don't need to make myself vulnerable to attack.

Tonight I did my first opening statement in Trial Advocacy class (where you practice trial skills), and I was terrified of fucking it up. The examinations of witnesses aren't that bad, because it's not a monologue, but the opening statement was giving me flashbacks of 9th grade fairytale telling which I severely jacked up. Luckily for my ego, my future plans, and my potential clients, I did ok. Several people told me I did a good job, and it was nice to know that maybe I can actually do this lawyer thing.

4. Random Thoughts
While I've been typing I've had my music library on shuffle. I think I seriously need to rethink my library because not one damn song that I really like has come on yet. Sure, some of the music is on a trial-basis from Jeff that I may not actually like anyway, but even the Indigo Girls songs it keeps picking are the sucky ones - and from my point of view there just aren't that many.

On the way home from school tonight I caught a green light the entire way down Rte 29 to my apartment. For those of you not familiar with Charlottesville, 29 is similar to the Atlanta Hwy with just four lanes, but stop lights every 10 feet. To get a green light without stopping, even the last turn left green light, is a small miracle.
