SOYBEAN RAGE and LAZY DANCING LEAF

So I said I'd talk about geeks again - I lied. Next time. This is more urgent.

There's been this INFESTATION of bugs lately on campus. I hear it's across the nation - but I could be wrong. I mean - I don't really mind bugs. If I see one I'll kill it and that's that. But I'll tell ya, bugs really know the power of numbers.

So what's been infesting us lately is these guys:



Soybean Aphids

They're about the size of half my eyelash and I'm pretty sure they die if you blow on them. Fragile little buggers. BUT THEY KNOW NO FEAR. They just fly around and land on you - and stay there til you kill em. From class to class I'd say I'll have 14 or 15 on my arms/clothes. Seriously lookin around on campus when the sun is setting it looks like there's flurries everywhere there's so many freaking bugs. But I was learning to deal y'know and this wasn't really much.


Today - I was walking towards the quad across Goodwin Ave. where the hedges line up near the buildings along the bike paths/street. And I saw this weird leaf dancing lazily (Yes, lazily) in the wind stuck to the hedge and I thought it as pretty cool so I went to look at it. (I really need a digital camera...UGH but I must say my MS PAINT skills are top notch)




Please note the wind marks as I thought the wind was making it dance.


So I literally wtf'd? and walk over to get a closer look and 10ft away I'm like whoa this leaf is crazy looking!



So obviously I wanna get a good look at this thing and maybe take it or something. SO... I went to go look real close and I see:







:ISUDFG:ISUDFGIUDSSDKJFBVSJH - I'M LOOKING AT FCKIN' APHIDS STUCK TO A SPIDER WEB. YOU KNOW WHY?! CAUSE THERE'S SO MANY DAMN SOYBEAN APHIDS RAGING AROUND THEY ALL GOT STUCK TO A SPIDER WEB AND IT TINTED THE WEB GREEN. AND THEY'RE ALL JUST TRYING TO MOVE SO IT MADE IT LOOK LIKE A LAZY DANCING LEAF.

Geeks next time.

Geeks part 1: Geek Lovers

It's been a hectic week - I haven't had much motivation to post cause it was actually kind of depressing. A couple of people I've known died... won't get into details cause that'll totally kill my mood and the blog's mood. Patrick Swayze died too. I did my dirty dance in his memory.

What I've been wanting to post about is this influx of geek lovers and of course about geeks. And I'm not talking about people that just love nerds. But those hot actresses (No one in particular I'll keep it generic) that interview for w/e magazine and what not after they play some sort of comic book hero and usually their interview goes something like:

Macksim: So how do you feel about the majority of your fan base from the movie being hardcore comic book fans and in a sense - geeks?
Migan Phocks: Omg, I LOVE geeks. Something about them is hot. I grew up as a comic book fan so I totally love them.

Liar.

LIAR!

Liar!!!!

Hotness, you're telling me you love pasty skinned skinny men who go to Anime conventions dressed up as Naruto? Or the geeks who run around with the foam weapons and armor and go medieval on each other? (I really wanna try it though lol) Please. That's just like this scenario flying:

Geek: Hey girl, how are ya?
Hotness: Um, hello...
Geek: I just wanted to mention that my World of Warcraft character is lvl 80 and fully epic equipped.
Hotness: Omg, that's so hot.
Geek: I'm also the leader of my guild and handle all nightly 5 hr dungeon raids.
Hotness: That's so sexy - are you gonna buy me a drink or what?
Geek: Did I mention I'm a (whisper in ear) druuuuidddd~
Hotness: Oh~ I'm so hot for you~
Geek: Do you want me to channel my upgraded Tranquility or should I just cast Wildgrowth rank 3 and we get out of here?
Hotness: OMG TAKE ME NOW

Never happen.
And for visual sake here is a druid:



And here is a girl that does not exist:




And if I am wrong, please tell me where these women are. Sigh - I too am guilty of playing various computer games (WoW, Dota, etc.etc.) But hey - I did learn something about geek gamers - which I'll leave to part II of this cause I'm lazy. =D

Underwear Tangent

Yeah - I've been really lazy to post lately but I do have an interesting topic I want to discuss in my next one. But for now...

So my mom sends me these packages - usually socks under wear and what not cause I always lose some here and there when I go home and back to campus. This has been going on ever since my freshmen year in college.

Now my mom used to just send me boxers. And then I'd say 2 or 3 years later she started sending boxer briefs which is all dandy they're really comfortable =P.

But in this year's first package she sent me some crazy ass underwear.......



I mean to elaborate - this underwear is kind of intimidating. I feel like they belong to a Calvin Klein model or a porn star. He-Man and Conan type of undwear. Thick waist band and all.




I dunno how I feel about this. But for some odd reason the one thing I do feel strongly about is that I gotta tan my thighs before I can wear 'em.

But thanks Mom - I will rise to the challenge.

Quick edit: Someone asked me if I thought about putting them on my head.

Yes. I have. And since they're black and grey it looks like a ninja mask.
