Hi everybody. I took a quick trip back home Saturday, so I've posted since moving here, but this is the first time I've had my internet connection up and running.
I'm not sure what to say. I should probably bare my soul in a very messy display of twentysomething angst, but I doubt that would be very widely appreciated. So instead, just a few points.
Everyone on my ICQ list needs to message me, since my database doesn't appear to want to switch over. You also need to message me because I feel both incredibly out of place and bored and so on and so on.
I have a webcam. Pictures, still ones, anyway, can be expected soon. I don't know of what. Probably the tiny, tiny brick room I live in.
That's about it. Class updates and stuff later, as soon as I find the paper I have all that written down on. Classes start tomorrow. My first one is at nine. English, I think. Location: as of yet, unknown. Yippee.

Above all else Simon, maintain that air of detached coolness that you have cultivated for so long.

Have fun in the dorms. You'll find eventually that there are other people living near you with compatible personalities. You just to seek them out. Go to the floor meetings and floor programs; hang out in the lobby of your building.
Probably the most important thing you can do is to be social and leave your door open every now and then. People will pop in talk to you. Blast TMBG to get their attention. Oh, and don't lose your identity. Change for no one except for yourself.

One time at band camp, when I was just about to begin my freshman year of high school, two of the upperclassmen in the trumpet section came to my house at 4am. I was kidnapped by them; I was blindfolded, bound, gagged, and thrown in the back seat of their car. They drove for a while and then, after ten minutes from my abduction, I felt someone being thrown in the backseat with me. It was another freshman trumpet player.
After twenty minutes, we were told to get out of the car and led into the trumpet captain's house. There, all six of us freshmen trumpet players in the marching band were told we were going to be initiated. We had to endure the entire outside marching rehearsal (this is summer in Texas, keep in mind) dressed as a member of the opposite sex. My squadleader and another upperclassman felt I should be the fat transvestite version of Madonna.

I guess you don't want to hear the stories about the ice cream fights at the pool party, the streakers at the lock-in, or the wild nights on band trips, huh?

Yep, and not from just that incident, either. No, I became Madonna two more times during my senior year. I was in the third-level Spanish class, and we had to do skits. One of the skits I dressed up like Madonna and sang "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina." This around the time Evita was out in theaters. A few months later, I brought her back for an encore performance in another skit.
I have never done another Madonna impression since those two times. Unfortunately, both of those times are on videotapes somewhere.
