My papers are in and I just got out of my last final. Much of my room is packed. I went to the bookstore to sell my French book back and bought Plagues and Peoples and Slaughterhouse-Five. I am going to go goof off at the suite for the rest of the afternoon, reading Vampires, Burial and Death (Josh took Rising Stars back home ;.;) and probably watching something weird on the idiot box (any of you familiar with Ninja Warrior?) and being generally nerdy.

Highlights of life this week:

*at playground, 2 am, Saturday:*
Jon: *writes in dirt* I wrote my name!
Liz: *writes* I wrote my name in Japanese!
Me: *writes* I wrote my name in Elvish!
Ian: *writes* I wrote 'poop.'

(Liz promised that was going in the webcomic.)

***

Tony (about ninja-pirates): No, that doesn't work. 'Cos they try to be stealthy, and then they pull out a cannon, and they're all like "Oh, I want to steal shit," but then they're like "Oh, I have dishonoured myself," and then they stab themselves and fall off a plank, and they just don't live very long. They get confused.

***

*while playing Risk*
Jon (admonishing me): They're not 'killy dice'. They're 'attacky dice.'

***

*same game of Risk*
Keen: We have to have Greenland. We're Vikings.

***

*after watching Hero*
Duk: Chinese movies suck!

***

Josh: I would be Pope Fluffy the First.
Me: I thought you were going to be Pope Jesus the Second.
Josh: Right! I knew there was something better than Pope Fluffy.

***

James: It's a Clare. If you feed it on the finest of red wine and human blood, it'll evolve into a Clare Plus. Which is even Gothier.
Jon: Really?!

I go a-suiteing now. Bye.

HAHAHAHAH fabulous.

I'm in a superb mood this evening, even though I'm kind of sad about leaving everybody. It's like the extreme of leaving sleepaway camp. But there will be next fall to get to know everybody better that I didn't get to yet, like you and Josh and Jon and other dorks.

I know! I feel the exact same way.

I'm most sad about leaving the people that I didn't really start talking to until near the end of the year, like Jon and Tony. It seems not fair. But there will be next year. And next year we will graveyard-picnic much more.

In the meantime, I will miss you!

Greenland, Iceland, British Isles, Scandinavia, the Eastern part of Canada (whatever the hell its called in Risk) for the ultimate Viking realm! For each turn you control them all, you get three navies!

But then you realise that Risk doesn't have navies, so really the conquest is for naught. Damn.

Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh Risk + navies makes me think Axis & Allies. And I NEVER WANT TO PLAY AXIS AND ALLIES AGAIN.

There is also a version of Risk called Godstorm or Godswar or something weird like that, which is ancient civilizations Risk + gods which let you do spiffy things + the plague. It is awesome. My friend Jon bought it last week. I was the Babylonians. I did actually take control of all of Asia Minor in my first turn. I felt like Xerxes, with my armies massing in the East. :) Then someone got to move a plague tile and Sumer got sick.

I need to buy Zombies! and Munchkin Bites and build a collection of horror-themed board games. I already have Goth trivial pursuit. Alternately, I need to stop playing board games, they are bad for my brain.

OMG I'M HOME

slaughterhouse five is weeeeiiiiirdddd!!!! (at least the weirdest WWII book I've read...)

Erin has a new El Jay. And you seem to be .... my first friend.

Because I finally got the nerve up to tell someone what my journal was called.

And the ninja-pirate thing? The story of my life. =]

Yay! I are honored.

eeeeee ninjas and pirates are taking over my brainnnnn. not like pirates hadn't already. :)
