Ok, that can never happen again.

Woohoo! New layout! It's all shiny and easier to read! Originally I didn't want to the black background thing since that's what both Shane and Matt have but I wasn't really keen on the whole dark blue/red/yellow color scheme. I am much happier with my black/pink/green/grey color scheme now. Much more saucy, don't you agree? Let me know what you guys think!

That being said...I can never change my blog again. Ever. I am banning myself.

Why? Well everytime I re-design a blog or whatever, I always forget myself. Specifically, I forget how freakin' OCD I am about designing ANYTHING. Desiging my new layout on here took me almost an hour and the changes were mostly color choices and text choices, not even the actual design of the blog itself. I fear what will happen when I get a house. I am pretty sure the house will never be totally finished because I will constantly be changing stuff. Hopefully I'll marry someone with the balls to beat me over the head with a baseball bat and make me stop.

Anyway, I promised myself and others that I would blog about something other than quotes because seriously, that's been what, my last 3 posts? That's kinda sad...

So here is a general update of my life: It's exam time which means, I'm busy as hell. But I'm down to 1 exam left! Woo! After that, I'm returning to Greensboro on Tuesday for Christmas break. Of course, I'll be coming back throughout the break to see people. I also have like 5 crochet projects to do. During the break, I'm also really going to focus on getting a job which is terrifying because the job market sucks royal ass right now. Also, journalism is really starting to fall apart. Hopefully I'll find something for me though.

...I should probably go study now...

Matt and Kelly's amazing quotes for the week

What is this you ask? Well my dear friend Matt and I tend to say a lot of awesome stuff on a semi-every day basis...as you've probably noticed. So rather than devote a post to each one, I'm saving them up for a whole week and posting it every Sunday. What is the criteria to make this list? You have to be Matt or I, the quote must be awesome, and the statement must be followed with "I need to blog that" or something like that.

So, here are the amazing quotes for this week:

Kelly: learn to crochet or something with string!
Kelly: and you can join in :P
Matt: so I can be part of the lesbian/penguin action?
Kelly: yes. you may
Matt: I think I just suffered a mental breakdown

Matt: and Maggie's a ninja so...
Kelly: maggie can fit in a fucking suitcase
Kelly: she fits in most overhead compartments.

Kelly: I'm pretty sure if I just showed him a boob he'd pass out.
Kelly: the blood wouldn't know where to go.

Matt: what is a utahraptor?
Matt: how big are a t-rex's feet?
Kelly: uh
Kelly: 1. fucking scary
Kelly: 2. fucking huge.
Matt: hahaha
Matt: and you get an A
Matt: for using 'fucking' in every answer
Kelly: fucking A!

Kelly: you're having a secret affair
Matt: hah! wrong!
Matt: oh wait the vacuum cleaner...

Kelly: I'm sure I'd be protective but I also would encourage them to be their own person.
Kelly: because I'm really independent.
Matt: very true
Kelly: like 'Hey you shouldn't bite that..." "Why?" "Well, it will burn..but it's up to you..."
Matt: oh come on, that's one of the times when you just take it and say "no you moron, just no"

Matt: you know
Matt: I have this giggling stuffed duck
Kelly: ...uh-huh
Matt: I think you would have that

This is our baby Dr. House

So I was discussing with Matt what would happen if I had a baby with certain people, which was a recap of a convo Shane and I had some time ago. Then Matt and I started discussing what would happen if he and I had a baby....This is what happened:

Kelly: ...I think yours and mine was somewhat normal...
Kelly: no, it was OCD
Kelly: and it argued...all the time.
Matt: heh, yes
Matt: with itself
Kelly: lol yes
Kelly: "That's clean enough. WAIT! NO!"
Kelly: it was also bitter.
Matt: yaay
Matt: and walked with a limp
Matt: not an injury or anything, but by choice. to have a cane. with flames.
Kelly: ...
Kelly: so if we had a baby
Kelly: we'd have house.
Kelly: Matt, I think we should have children.
Matt: the medical world would thank us
Matt: and we'd commit suicide


That's right, Matt and I would have House. Our son would be House. So if anyone wants to see a real version of House, you know what to do.

You can be as loud as the hell you want when you're making love...

Daniel and I were talking about walking in on people having sex and how awkward that situation can be. The conversation quickly turned to HEARING people having sex. This is something I unfortunately have experience with...

Kelly: I didn't care they were having sex
Kelly: I cared they did it loudly.
Daniel: how many closed doors?
Kelly: one
Daniel: that's nothing
Daniel: 4 and i had to turn up the volume on my headphones

Wooooooooooooow.....That's like screaming level. I think I'd leave the building at that time. Kudos to Daniel for actually sticking around.

...You'd think one of them would be hard of hearing after that....

And now...great quotes of today

These are the following awesome quotes that were made JUST today:

Shane: And Catholics are like- HOLY SHIT! A PIGEON JUST HIT MY WINDSHIELD.

Me: Ok compared to other men, Shane isn't that gay.
Matt: Still flaming.
Me: If Shane is flaming...
Me: Alex is the human torch

(On friending Alex on facebook)
Me: No! You can't have him! My friend!
Matt: They're always after me fruity charms!

Yes Alex, you made it on to my blog...FEEL HONORED!!!

Westboro Baptist gets Rick Roll'd

Best use of a Rick Roll possibly ever.

For those of you who don't know, Westboro Baptist Church is this church who makes it their personal goals in life to stand on corners waving signs talking about how God is condemning America because we love the gays.

This is my new favorite video. Seriously.

What is music?

So, last night I was showing Daniel "Threnody of the Victims of Hiroshima" by Penderecki. It's possibly one of the most disturbing pieces I've ever heard, but it also might be one of the best for the very reason that it managed to move me that much. One thing I've never been able to decide is whether or not that sound in the beginning is people screaming or if it's the bomb dropping thousands and thousands of feet in the air before finally slamming into the city. I tend to think it's the first way...but I've been wrong before.

Anyway here it is. Warning: it starts out very loud.

Of course when I showed that to Daniel, his immediate response was "I am prepared to argue that is not music." And like any other time we disagree strongly on something, a debate began. We started discussing what precisely defined music. Is the piece above really not music? What about John Cage's "4'33"? Does that count? Is Threnody belong in the same group as say Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5, 2nd mvt? How would you define music?

Side note: I adore Symphony No. 5. Supposedly it was written as his way of protesting the Soviet regime but that is the subject of much debate.
