Nothing like some old BNL...

First, today's conversificating:

looked him up on USCinfo, the handy dandy data base of students and
faculty. no sign of him. of course, jenna Von Oy wasn't in the computer
either.>>

Is it just me, or did she really let herself go after Blossom? Must be
hard living your life known only as Six. Oh well. If you become really
obsessed with a boy named Topher, you have some issues to deal with,
honey.

<<Swimming season is underway. My life has dimished to a cycle... eat,
sleep, school, swim, homework are the only events in my life. I mean, we
swim for at least 2 hours a day, 6 days a week, that's a lot of time.
Miraculously, we don't have swim tomorrow, even though it's a day off>>

So when do you shave your head? States, correct? Heh. There's this kid I
know who swims and has a lumpy skull. Eeeew...
Speaking of days off, hug a vet, 'cause yrs truly has no school today!
Whee!

can't make me. the only reason we went is because my sister is already a

student there. i'm aiming for washington university.>>

As in Washington University in Saint Louis? They've sent me
approximately 4000 pieces of mail over the last year and a half, even
though I'm only a junior. And I live in New York. Seriously, I have
apprehensions about a college I've never heard of sending me things
randomly. But I digest.
Northeastern also sends me lots of good stuff, and Clarkson too. Those
are closer to home, so I kinda understand, I guess. The mailbag's going
to start filling up soon, I know, once PSAT results come in. D'you
realize that it's like a matter of weeks now? I'm excited in a way since
I really do think I did well on it. I need to register for the ACTs
(supposedly easier than the SATs, which I got a 1530 on) sometime soon,
but my lazy arse hasn't gone to the counselor's yet.

<<you guys all kick arse, and i thank you for dealing with my shite the
last few weeks. much thanks to Erik for not regulating on my ass, i
think that i can contribute solidily to the perfect harmony that is the
files.>>

Aww...my soul brotha' finally gets his...good for you, man. Keep it up,
seriously. If you want, you can transfer some of your energy over this
way.

FOPpish? I like it, but how about:
FoPtent
FoPulent
FoPpy-eared
FoPsigns

...you get the drift...

meaningless errata:
if anyone out there is a true geek and attempts to access my web site
through numeric IP (yeah, right) or hex (hah!) please note that my IP
changed twice tonight for the first time in three months. As always, I
can be found at emeraldsky.dyn.ml.org.

on becoming an exchange student:
I've decided that I'm interested in doing this next year. Now, I have
the usual apprehensions about leaving for senior year and all, but I
need to decide fast. Most of these organizations have their scholarship
deadlines set for late December and it's $6000 or so total that I'll
need to raise...but do I want to do this? I think it'd be fun, although
there are way too many questions right now, but I'm still unsure. Any
ideas?

Oh yes, and I need to decide quickly, because otherwise I'm going to
build a computer for myself by the end of the year. It's a major deal as
far as finances are concerned. I could save quite a bit, but I need to
first make the choice.

Thanks for listening, you've been a wonderful crowd, come again, etc.

Nov. Yep, that's not a typo, it's a Monday. Oh joy.


Cheers

Yo yo yo. Wazzup?! (<-- A blast from your past.)

Points of interest this week.

- - The K-State Wildcats are 9 - 0, that's right, the team that has
affectionately called the mildcats are lossless, and this weekend is the big
ass game. Versus Nebraska. Nebraska, the powerhouse of the Big 12 as of late..
is now coming to Manhattan, and for the first time in just about ever, we are
ACTUALLY favored to win. This is Katie.. ( :) ) this is Katie during wildcats
football season ( :D ) May I remind you that I was born right across from the
stadium. in a year that we didn't beat any teams, not even that powerhouse
Iowa State.

- - I am excited about Fear Of Pop. Since the time it was announced that Fear of
Pop was coming out, I have been working on my own Mongolian Funk side project:
Terrified Of The Fück. Burrowing away in my bedroom, into late hours in the
night, my only tools an Acoustic Guitar with 2 strings, a clay pot, and some
blinds, I have been creating my own musical masterpiece, I have figured out
the track listing, and it is due out in a few years. (This is the track
listing: Jesus was strontium based,  Ghengis Khan was a Mongolian Funker
(Funk-Da-Fied Remix), 677-ORTH, Mr. Football, The Fox With The Lox,  My ass is
blue, Vat of Lard, Pi is the angriest number, Peel-Off Masque, Koogle saved my
life, She-Ra is the princess of pop, and the final track: The Fro-Man is one
hot meatball)

- - Did anyone catch 7th Heaven? Matt has once again chosen one butt-ugly
girlfriend. Rev. Camden got shot. Lucy slaps her boyfriend. Ruthie's obsessed
with ba-boom. Doesn't that sound like a high quality show?

- - Xena and Hercules marathon on Thanksgiving plus an X-Files one. Have I died
and gone to heaven? Xena then while Hercules is on, X-Files. All wrapped into
one Geek-Fest and a way to avoid my family during thanksgiving, and I'm sure
my mom will be following.

- - Buffy The Vampire Slayer was scary. Giles = Liam gallagher. Buff's mom = one
scary chick. Angel = one leather pants wearin' bad ass. Willow and Xander
together = me going into the bathroom and puking, after I'm done puking over
the fact that Joey and Dawson are together.

- - Speaking of which, what the hell is WITH Dawson? When did he go insane? When
did the Olsen twins become whores? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH AMERICA?! Did
anyone catch the fact that they were swing dancing to REEL BIG FISH?! (When
the hell did that become swing?)

- - I had a dream about frogs, please tell me what it means.

- - POLL (All must answer, or I will funk up yo ass) - If you could be a
superfriend, who would you be and why? Please ponder this carefully. Then
respond. That means you Sara, because you light up my life!


- - My response to my own poll: I would definitely be Bird Man. Bird Man can
recharge his energy in the sun. That simply kicks my ass.

Goodcents sandwiches are very good, if you have one in your area, please go
eat at one. They have really good Chicken Noodle soup with big noodles. It is
the best. Plus their bread is soft, and thick. Please go eat there now, and
dedicate your meal to me. 

Thank you.

- - Katie "The Bouncy Brunette" Buckner 

p.s. Lucy Robinson = S to da E to da X and I sure do wish she would post!
