+1 brother

i've gained a brother. his name is andrew, he's a freshman (well, technically, i think he's a sophomore....) at kettering university and a member of the delta tau delta fraternity. Okay, so, he sounds exactly like my real brother, but i swear he's a real person. for one thing, he's way taller than drew. he also has cooler shoes, and goes by the name sully.

he moved in, like, a week ago. he lives in the green room. well, obviously not my green room... my room is newly green so i guess it can be called A green room, but it's certainly not THE green room. he's like BFFs with drew, which must be cool for them since they live together now and hang out constantly. he watched me fold my laundry on sunday. not, like, in a creeps way or anything; it was more of a we're-all-in-the-same-room-watching-the-same-movie kind of way and me and my laundry were just hanging out on the floor.

oh, okay. so. i think this girl in my class brought a friend/brother/boyfriend to class. i'm gonna say it's safe to assume it's her boyfriend from how her hands are like... on him and stuff while he starts up his computer... it's all very strange. he's kinda creeps; his face is weird, there's just something about it. and, like my advertising ta, it's slightly reminiscent of what a rapist's face looks like. obviously, rapists don't all look the same, and there's not just, like, one feature that all rapists have. it's just like... there's something about it that's slightly... what's the word?... creeps! anyway, i'm not suggesting that he's going to rape me, or that he's a rapist at all. i'm sure he's not, i'm sure he's a very nice man who just happened to be dragged to class by his girlfriend and now he feels all kinds of awkward sitting next to some girl who thinks he looks like a rapist for no reason at all.

at any rate, i'm just saying. there's something creeps about him.

now, for something unrelated:

ps. how presh is this?! it's from the lansing state journal. i saw it today and just felt my heart warm right up.

moving right along... i was talking to erica about this a little bit last night during the game (side note: sad face). i sit in my FCE class every tuesday night and just worry that i'm going to die. last week we talked about toxins and now i'm all worried that all of the plastic in my life is going to kill me. even plastic that i have nothing to do with, i just think i'm gonna die because it's out there, deteriorating, breaking down and into something i could possibly consume. i don't wanna drink out of water bottles; they're bad for the environment and they're bad for me. not good! and when i used one of those orange-y smelling antibacterial wipes yesterday to clean off the kitchen counter, i immediately worried that those chemicals seeped through my skin and knocked off a few months of my life.

today, we're talking about autism and adhd. now, because of this, i feel like i have both of those things. this class really does nothing to help my paranoia and hypochondriasis (sp?!).

anyway, sully. yeah. i guess he's pretty cool. only time will tell. but, like, seriously, what's one more "brother" in my life? i already have like... three, so i guess this temporary one won't be so bad.

looove. <3

ringworm

so, rob has ringworm. all three (or so) people who read this already know that but since nothing ever happens in my life, i feel i can write about rob's life-happenings. when i heard about this "ringworm" sitch, i thought of some sick tiny worm hangin' out under the skin kinda near his neck. i knew that ringworm is not like a tapeworm, and that it was not a worm of any kind involved at all.

i also thought of vacationing in florida.

i feel like we should have figured that his "spider bite" was ringworm. i've seen ringworm before in person- while vacationing in florida. god, no. i did not have ringworm. christ. this family that we became friends with when drew and i were little and would go to this resort in florida every year. we saw this one family every year, every time we went, so it was only natural that this fam became, like, our friends. and we'd just play and play and swim and hide from our parents. anyway, what's-her-face's (my florida vacation friend) sister got ringworm and everyone was all up in arms about it and it was all... ring-like and raised and on her leg or something.

what i dont understand is how it gets on someone's leg or neck, on clean people no less! wtf!, like, when i looked it up, it said that it was a fungal infection. it's not like rob went into some MSU mens sports locker room and rubbed some sick athlete's foot on his neck (ew). i can understand that maybe it really is those sick preschoolers he hangs out with all the time.

even so, maybe rob and leah should stop hanging out, between his ringworm and her sore nipple, i have circus freak friends. (just kidding, guys. lol share your bacterial and fungal infections. it's sexy. oh, and you're not circus freaks. but boy, do i wish!)

this is what i learned in class today: mercury is bad; do not eat it. the girl giving one of the presentation remembers lice checks from elementary school. pesticides are evil. toxins are poisonous substances of natural origin (plants, animals, bacterial, and/or fungal).

!!!!omg rob and leah need to just stay away from toxins.
ohhh im a nerd.

oh also, we learned about asbestos. I'M MAKING MUFFINS ASBESTOS I CAN! i wish i was making muffis. speaking of asbestos, i really am worried that huapei (sp?!) really does have asbestos hanging out with all of that creeps duct tape.

anyway, im gonna go.
love you. love everything about you!



ps i found this. and it's funny.
