so this week of school was pretty good, again there was a lot of reading but so far the only project i have due are these "nature writings".

funny story guys, and if you don't it funny that's fine because it's not that funny, but it's a bit interesting i think.

on wednesday i was drinking with friends when i remembered this essay i had to read for my 10:30 class the next morning. so after a couple drinks i started reading. i made a game out of it and after every paragraph i would take 1 sip of my drink. after a while i got pretty drunk, but the essay had become so interesting, and i was understanding it so well. so i finished reading in no time, and then i went to party.
that night i decided to go to my 2:30 class the next day drunk... as an experiment. my hypothesis was that i will function better in class with a SMALL amount of alcohol in me, not too much, just like 3 tall drinks of whiskey and coke. so i had 2 drinks before i left, and i mixed a drink into a pop bottle and brought it to class.
this was the most fun ive ever had in a class, i paid more attention (did not sleep), i took more notes than ever before, and i participated more than ever. a total success. the only problem is it will be expensive to do this all the time, and i have some early classes and i don't want to drink that early.

i have another funny story, i'll write it in another post later tonight, just too lazy right now.

i came home this weekend, and of course it was really great seeing everyone again. i even saw john's parents. me and stu went to pick up my stand and mic, and we talked with them for a while. we all had a big laugh about how john had to get stitches on the 2nd day at university... and john's mom gave me a big hug!

convo between stu and my mom:

mom - so mike, why did you break up with her?
mike - it wasn't working out.
stu - i know miss lahoud! this is the greatest story of a break up i've ever heard!
mom - oo, oo, tell me!
stu - well mike brought a hose and a sponge over to her house. he sat in front of her house and started washing the curb. then she came outside and asked "what the hell are you doing mike?" and mike answered, "i want the curb to be clean when your ass hits it...".
mom - stu, you are SO full of shit!

well i thought it was hilarious.

i think i might start writing in this thing more often, i think it'll be easier to stay in contact with friends in newmarket and especially friends that went away to ottawa. university life is pretty unexpected, i like all my classes. there's a ton of reading, but that was expected. the first day i got 200 pages, and the days to follow weren't much different. i just got to find the right times to party. for anyone that wants to hangout, i'll be home every sunday, and usually on friday and saturday too.

my buddies down the hall made this really funny fake prank call answering machine thing. i'm gonna try and get it and put it on here. this might sound stupid, but i really do enjoy having sex with people i don't know. but i enjoy having sex with people i 'do know' more ;)

i'm gonna add some more friends because ill probably be on more often. everyone add me, i'm nice.
also, i don't know how to work anything on livejournal, so its all gonna be pretty plain unless someone wants to teach me.

does anyone have an extra ticket for the NOFX show on wednesday june 22?

if so, sell it to me....biatch. please :)
