i am the chosen one

Last night, after real taps (which was "Flava Flaaaaaaaav! Flava Flaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaav! Flava Flav, Flava Flav, Flava Flaaaaaaaaaaaaaav!") my girls, who must have plotted this out in advance, all sort of tackled me, shrieking, "SKIN SO SOOOOOOOFT! WANT TO TOUUUUUUUUCH! WANT TO FEEEEEL ON YOUR SKIIIIIIIIIN SKIN SO SOOOOOOOOOOOOFT!" to the tune of taps. It was a little terrifying, especially because I had my arms full of stuff and couldn't fend them off.

Taps the night before was worse. I had forgotten about taps because there was all this stuff I had to do plus a field trip to the Waikiki Aquarium, so I just let a very enthusiastic Itanza, Audrey, Kristin and Emily do an unrehearsed taps. What they ended up doing was standing four in a row, each representing a note:

Itanza--Audrey--Kristin--Emily
---5-------1-------3------5---

and doing pelvic thrusts every time their note was sung. Tonight, as it is my night off, I asked that the girls come up with a taps on their own. That group was very enthusiastic about doing it, and I am very nervous.

Today is my day off, and I've spent almost all of it just chilling with CTY, because what else is there to do? I feel like I've already done the Tour Oahu thing, nobody else is off to come have fun with me, and besides, it's refreshing enough to just be around but not have to do anything.

So what I have done so far on my day off:

Went on the Hanauma Bay field trip with Oceanography, snorkeled around and was sort of pissed both because it didn't live up to the first time I went there and also because I had to wait in line for half an hour to get a four-dollar ice cream bar.

Acquired the top half of a wetsuit from Steve-O, who found it on the beach after the Shark's Cove field trip and was attempting to wear it at Hanauma Bay, even though it is an XS. He said "It's a little hard to get on, but once it's on, it's like a giant hug," which is both strangely out of character and strangely in character. I am currently still wearing the wetsuit as a shirt, because I really like the way it looks and I don't want to go back to the dorm, because it's my goddamn night off.

Got about twelve burrs thrown into my hair.

Bought some thrift store outfits, enabling me to hold out on laundry for two more days, at which point I can scavenge all my girls' leftover laundry cards.

Laid around on the beach, telling my girls that I didn't know them when they bugged me about something.

PURCHASED CHEESE STICKS. ATE CHEESE STICKS.

List 5 reasons you are a dork. And make them good reasons. Justify them. Explain them. Be loud and proud of how big a dork you are! Then pick the 5 biggest dorks you know and have them do the meme.

1. I am so into marching band.

2. I once stayed up all night when I really shouldn't have because I was so excited to learn html. And later I did the same thing for Java, and Photoshop.

3. Chrono Trigger probably lowered my freshman year GPA by at least half a point.

4. I'm basically half-majoring in comics.

5. I'm working at fucking dork camp, so that makes me Queen Dork as well as Queen Vag.

I choose:

okazu
supereinstein
grimnemesis
danibannani
smartiste

Oh, one more reason that just happened just now (I'm writing in the staff lounge for the free pizza):

Jack is currently doing a demo of the end-of-session slideshow, and he used some of the score of the Grim Fandango as background music. Upon hearing it, Sam and I simultaneously shouted, "Oh my god! Grim Fandango! Best game ever!" and then proceeded to squeal for a bit. Yay team Vag!
