blue hair!?

Hey! it's me! With blue hair! And a girl sitting next to me! Coincidentally, this is the girl who made my hair blue. My hair isn't blue anymore though. Time flies when your hair is blue, as they say.

Soon I will upload pictures of me as a robot.

Adam Black and the Platonic Orgy!

Okay, so I already told you two about most of this, but I figured I'd write it down for posterity. So Adam Black and the Platonic Orgy had its debut performance at Awesomefest this past Saturday and permanently etched itself into the collective consciousness of the Wesleyan student body. The songs played were as follows:

1. Aeroplane Over the Sea -- Neutral Milk Hotel
2. Untitled song -- Adam Black and the Platonic Orgy
3. Complicated -- Avril Lavigne

Of the three, Complicated was definitely the best-received, but the reactions to the other two were by no means lukewarm. The majority of my hallmates came to see us perform. It was a good crowd. The only downside is all of the screaming girls asking for my autograph and fainting whenever I look in their direction. Such is the burden of fame, I suppose.

Also, I've so far written two-and-a-half songs: the one we played at the concert, a birthday song for my friend Julie (tentatively titled "Julie the Arcane"; Jake (the guitarist) and I performed it for her last night (last night being her birthday)), and I've written the chorus for another song called "Let's Hold Hands" that may turn out to be the feel-good hit of the summer.

Also, Annie, that picture you posted on the blog is now my facebook picture, and I'm getting a large volume of messages on my wall expressing emotion ranging from incredulity to awe. Actually, I guess that's not a very big range. Whatever.

In summary: band good.

adam's picture!

because i have to do EVERYTHING around here.

Crazy news, sad news

Sad news first. Our incredible RA (residential advisor, for the uninitiated) James Bleshman got fired for stealing a candy bar from Weshop (the campus grocery store) because he didn't want to wait in line. He called a hall meeting a couple nights before and told us the news. Everyone on our hall is totally bummed, because we all love James, and he loves us. Almost every whiteboard on our hall says "We love James!" (except mine, which has a drawing of a robot saying "If I could feel emotion, I would be melancholy." Because robots can't feel emotion.) But yeah. Everyone's sad. But he's not moving too far away, and he said he would have a party for all of us in his room.

Okay, now crazy news. I cut my own hair! And it looks amazing! Somehow I managed to cut it pretty evenly on the front and sides (my friend Jake cut the back) despite sometimes doing it by touch instead of sight (because the movements of your hand and head are reversed in the mirror, and it feels like you're a sensory dyslexic. Whatever that is). So now my hair's short and my beard's gone, and some people don't recognize me because I came here with long hair and have had a beard for the past five weeks or so. But I'm totally proud of myself for cutting my own hair. You should be proud of me too.

P.S. I don't know how you do it, Christopher. Separation Sunday is now one of my favorite CDs. It's like it snuck into my brain and changed my taste in music. Weird.

so...

funny story. so i was out driving around today...wait. that can't be right. i don't have my driver's license. but hold on, I TOTALLY HAVE MY DRIVER'S LICENSE! that's right, your little sister has finally entered the world of real life driving. no parents, no adult over 21 in the front seat, no NOTHING! (until i get passengers, that is.) so i'm totally psyched. i love driving. serious love. nothing puppy-ish about this, baby.

p.s. there was no funny story. i was just trying to figure out a way to announce my driver's license getting.

Also, whoa.

Annie, show this to Dad immediately. I told him about it, but he'll want to see the screenshots.

I have a game too

My friend Hannan told me about this game called "Get Down, Mr. President!" Basically, the way it works is, you'll be walking in a group of people (all of whom (or better yet, all of whom but one) know the game) and one person will look down and put their finger up to their ear (as if listening to an ear piece, a la the secret service). If you notice someone doing it, you do it too. Once everyone except one has their finger on their ear, everyone yells, "Get down, Mr. President!" and tackles the person who hasn't put their finger up. It's less confusing in real life, and totally fun.

Also, Hannan took a picture of me with my awesome mustache. I'll post it as soon as he emails me.

ahem

Hey have you guys heard of Newsweek?

needless to say, I'm quitting school.

90s dance!

Hey guys, do you remember the 90s???? I didn't until last night, when I helped DJ a 90s dance. (The "90s" describe the decade between the 80s and now). Anyway, it was pretty awesome, in the way that Chumbawumba is freakin' awesome. Man! I love that song. All of them.

Here are some pictures!

(note, if you will, Pippi's Vanilla Ice-stripes.)

incredible.

new game!

so my friends and i invented a new game last night that's totally fun! basically, you just shout someone's name followed by the word "action" and they have to jump on you/cuddle with you for however long they feel like. for example, if someone shouted "annie action!" i would go attack them. it's especially fun when you're in a large group of people because it basically ends up being a huge dogpile. enjoy!

speaking of bands...

I just saw my friend Nate's band perform at a coffeehouse. They're called "So Long Princess," (formerly called "The Corellian Hellians") and perform songs based on or inspired by Star Wars. It was AMAZING. Nate is the lead singer. In one song called "Wookie," there is a two-minute interlude where Nate rants about how everyone thinks being a wookie is so easy. But it's not. Then he screams 'WOOOOOKIEE' into the mic for the rest of the song. In short, Adam, this is what your band should aspire too. Greatness.

Also, Annie, that is one hell of a janitor joke. I'm going to go find someone to tell it to.

I spent nine hours cooking yesterday!
love, your bro

p.s. Hey! How do you post pictures??? I still have no real idea, even though I did it once.

ha! ha! ha!

what did the tools say when the janitor opened the door to his closet?
































supplies!!!!!

Thursday night equals party night!

It's Thursday! I don't have any homework and my calculus class tomorrow got canceled. What does all of this mean? It's 11:30 and I'm swimming in free time, and I don't have to wake up until noon tomorrow. I feel like I should be getting drunk or high somewhere. But since I don't want to live in sin, I'm blogging instead. Blogging! I donated blood today and I got a 94 on my Japanese test. Also: tomorrow night at Psi Upsilon: the Geeks and Schoolgirls Dance Party. I'll button my (and by "my" I mean "Christopher's") green striped shirt up to my neck, put masking tape around the bridge of my glasses, and roll up my khakis to reveal my black-as-night socks. I might wear the tie I brought with me. I just don't know. AwesomeFest got postponed to October 22, so AB and the PO has a little more time to practice. Rock on! I'm in too good a mood to be coherent. All one paragraph!

Wow!

This is actually true. Every last word. Freaky. Well, I don't answer my phone "moshi moshi" unless I'm trying to deter telemarketers. And I don't believe people should be referred to as "meat".

You Are a Henna Gaijin!

You're not Japanese, but you wish you were! You can use chopsticks with your eyes closed, and you've memorized hundreds of Kanji. You even answer your phone "moshi moshi." While the number of anime videos you've seen is way higher than the number of dates you've been on, there's hope. Play the sexy, mysterous gaijin, and you'll have plenty of Japanese meat.

What's Your Japanese Subculture?

I can't stop!

yeah. this is totally me.

You Are a Kogyaru!

If it's cute, you'll wear it. Fake and bake, hair bleach, and bright makeup line your bathroom cabinet. As for clothes - anything that's short and cute ("kawaii!"). You are the prize object of all sorts of men - but you are really looking for a rich foreign guy. He'll find you out hanging out in Shibuya shopping at the 109, text messaging and sending photos over your cellphone.

What's Your Japanese Subculture?

um, we're the same

Take the quiz: "What Halo Character Are YOU???"

Master Cheif (SPARTAN-117)
W00t! You're the Master Cheif!! Youre an AWSOME leader. You are very brave! even when you are scared to do something you tough it out and do it anyways. You are loyal and dependable, always getting the job done. Your friends mean alot to you, and the respect you! Youre an all around kick ass dude!

I think it's because I answered "My brother or sister who I love very deeply."
That, and "I am too fat for vehicles."

Whoever wrote that quiz is a genius. A schizophrenic, twelve-year-old genius.

I didn't get a picture. This quiz is totally lame. And rife with typos.

Take the quiz: "What Halo Character Are YOU???"

Cortana
Congrats! You're cortana! which means you're very intelligent. Some times you can be aggrivating to those around you who are less advanced as you, but what ever the situation, you are almost always right, and your natural abilty to have control over your emotions gives you an advantage in almost everything.

check me out!

Stop the spammers!

I think there's a way we can stop people from posting random spam comments on our posts. There's something called word verification option, where if you're leaving a comment, you have to type a word. in a box. both are in a box. the typing and the word, I mean. There are two boxes. You type the... box... wording... glyph of warding? Well, I can't do it, because I'm not a fancy "administrator" like you, Christopher, but maybe you can figure it out. And maybe you can figure out how set it so that it will still accept comments from elisha cuthbert. And kiefer sutherland, if he ever gets around to posting.

"HC!" For Homecoming!

so homecoming was totally fun. there were oompa loompas. and a chocolate fountain that i didn't see, but caroline claimed was there. and there was some dancing. and there was some king and queen winning of people i didn't want to...win...this sentence became really gramatically incorrect. i also got some cute pictures and by the way caroline is the coolest person in the world, did you know that? love, not caroline. this is annie typing. not caroline even a little bit. whoa. i'm gone for one second and look what happens. love, annie.
