Psycho-babble all upon your lips

I swear I've walked into this painting like a hundred times and I still keep coming back to it. I think it's time for you all to enjoy it as well:

It's a Kandinsky.
That's pretty much all you need to know. It's vibrant. It's explosive. It's so not content with being just a painting. I wish I could live in it. I'd trip about the landscape, learning new features and finding crazy-cool things to pique my interest. I don't think I could ever get bored in a world like this.
Anyways. This is the part where I extend an invitation to you all, my readers, my friends: all two of you.

If you could live in a painting, 
which one would it be?

Be sure to explain your reasoning, even though some paintings might be self-explanatory. Also, you don't have to limit yourself to just one painting. If artists did that, they'd prolly get hella bored. So, if you've got more than one painting in mind (I know I do...) then list 'em off, bitchez!
I look forward to reading your responses. 
I better get responses.
Because this topic is golden. 
So, yeah.
<3

And no you can't have my number...'cause I lost my phone...

I found this and I decided that I should share it with you, because I care. 
Side note: I don't care. Ever. Make no mistake about that.
But on a serious note: I really do care...some of the time.
But I only do it when I have to or when it suits my needs on a personal level. 
And even then, it's likely that I'm being very disingenuous or duplicitous.
I'm just a bastard like that...oh well.

10 Signs That You Might Be An Idiot

1. You type ‘there’ when you mean ‘their’.
2. You press the already lit elevator button.
3. You get two pizzas, both half cheese and half pepperoni.
4. You get confused by the Starbucks cup sizes.
 5. You think that cats are smart because they are aloof [(What is a loof?)].
6. You are a self-professed vegetarian who eats fish.
7. You have a nervous breakdown when asked to not use the word ‘like’ so often.
 8. You send out your resume on cute stationery [(So putting my previous work experience on the Cats with Hats stationary is a bad idea?)].
9. You think you are saving money by buying things you don’t need during a sale.
10. You blame all your failures on anyone but yourself.

*By these definitions, everyone I love is an idiot. I'm quite alright with that.*

Misery loves company - and company loves more.

This is a hamster
 
I'm not really sure where I was going with this. I'm convinced that it was really interesting though. 
Oh well. Deal with this, people.
You love it.
You know you do.
<3

So I'm bound to say that I'm bound to stay.

I just got back from taking pictures and running around in nature with Jamie and Siren.
Lemme just say, it was wonderful.
We went to the park at first, but there were an abundance of children...so we left. Who the hell brings children to a park - that just ruins all of the fun...
We ended up at the Public Access site instead. It's not the park, but it's still really beautiful. We all ran around like crazy people and we took pictures of each other. We also made a video. I might post it. I don't think there's really much of a a demand for that sort of thing, though but it could still happen.

Regardless, we had a really great time just chillin' and being amazing while documenting how amazing and wonderful we are. I wish we could do this sort of thing every day. It was pretty much perfect, and could only have been improved if there were more people involved (Jeana, Kimble, Carrie, Cassandra, Surah) and if there were kites. I love kites. We should all fly kites every day. I think that would make the world a much happier and beautiful place.
Like, when you're feeling stressed and just hate everything, just stop what you're doing and go fly a freaking kite. All your problems will seem so simple and easily fixed. Everything in your life will dissolve into peaceful tranquility for just a few moments, at least, and life would again be worth living.
So go fly a kite. Fly a damn kite. Make your day brighter with a supafly kite.

I am getting ready to move on, but you don't like it.

So, please, someone, tell me exactly how friggin' nerdy I am. I've decided to build a Yu-Gi-Oh deck...
Yeah. That's pretty lame, eh?
Well. I'm convinced that it's a good idea. So. I'm gonna do it. And I've decided that it's going to be fairy themed.
This seems like the obvious choice for me since the fairies are the most visually appealing cards and they're fairly beastly if used correctly.
They're also the most compatible with making a counter/heal deck, which is exactly what I want. So I've filled it with monsters who give me bonuses when counter-traps are used and with ones that heal my life points. I'm not really sure if this is enough of a strategy for me to actually put up much of a fight against anyone else (my main opponents will probably be Siren and Michael) but I'm pretty confident that mah fairies will be adorable and sassy (Roflz, I did that just for you, Jeana) enough to hold their own against pretty much everything.

They'll all pretty much look like this:

They're super adorable!

Come dance with me - and don't you fake it.

I wrote this today so that I would have something to read for the poetry slam that one of the clubs at Manchester was hosting. I didn't really have too much time to prepare it, but I'm pretty happy about how it turned out. Leave me comments and tell me what you think!
 
I'm not really invested in this...
by David Sahli
Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
You see, my English isn't so good.
So, it's possible that I may have misunderstood
your intent.
Could it be that possibly
you have an issue with me, being me?
'Cause, see,
I was just minding my own - 
dancing
and singing - 
not noticing you.
And in the bliss of my fabulous existence,
I seem to have stumbled into your
sad excuse for a reality - 
a mistake I won't soon make again.
And then,
when I tried to leave - 
to get back to my swingin' world
of sparkles and kittens - 
you,
smitten with my zest for livin'
and being carefree,
chose to engage me in casual dialogue.
"'Ey, faggot!"
I believe is what you said.
And I must say that I was quite impressed
that you could articulate such a complex sentiment
without incurring a cerebral hemorrhage.
You were so original, so divisive, and so concise.
It's as if you've known me my whole life.
Out of mild annoyance
and lack of intrigue,
I accepted your welcoming invitation
to this stimulating conversation.
Without a second's hesitation,
I unleashed my reply
just between your eyes.
And with a practiced motion
I stepped around the fractured remains of your
dripping countenance and left you,
more or less,
the way I found you:
swollen-faced and uninteresting. 

Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of a war-drum.

So now that I'm no longer going to be a rich doctor, I'm going to have to change my future plans, just a little bit.


 For instance, I'll be living in a much smaller house, so I don't think my friends will be able to live with me...
It'll just be me and my pandas.
As you'll notice, these aren't real pandas. See, I'll be too damn poor to afford to be able to keep real pandas, so I'll sublimate my affection for those little bears by surrounding myself with silly imitations of the real thing.
Not having money will make it increasingly difficult for me to find someone with whom I can share my life, so in order to satisfy my need for companionship, I'll become a falconer. My falcon and I will go everywhere together; I'd even take it with me to the grocery store so we could do our shopping together.

This Horse-Bike hybrid will be my main form of transportation. I'll ride it to work, and to the grocery store, and to pretty much wherever I need to go.
Because, honestly, who needs a car when you've got a sweet ride like this, eh?

I'll have to appear cultured and highly sophisticated, since teachers are constantly being judged for that sort of thing, so I'll keep a piano in the sitting room. This is probably the classiest piano I'll be able to afford, so I'll show it off with pride. I guess this means that some time in the future I'll have to re-learn how to play... Meh, I've got time.

And once I'm too old to be considered 'hip' by my students, I'll have to adopt the persona of an old shut-in, which won't be difficult at all. I'll post this sign in my yard so that the neighborhood children will stay off of my lawn. This'll save me the trouble of yelling at them and shaking my fists...

You don't scare me.

Today, my tea-leaves warned me against being sedentary. They told me that I should strive to be more independent and that, though I'm already adaptable, I should strive to alter my environment as well as myself. They also said that I've gotten slightly complacent, which is a bad thing; but, this situation is easily remedied and I shouldn't stress about it too much because I'm going to work it out soon enough.
At least this is how I interpreted the dregs of my peppermint tea (There was a tree with a large root-system with a cat next to it, all towards the center with the cat closest to the side with the handle.).
I think this was a success.

I found this. I hope it makes you smile.
I know I did.

But that wasn't me, that was alter-ego. That wasn't me, that was Johnny Rockets...

I just got back from meeting with the head of the Education department and the Chair of the Spanish Language departments. They said I'm slightly behind as far as the language classes go, but I am perfectly on track for the rest. So. I've just gotta take a few extra credit hours, spend a semester in Spain or Mexico, and then I'm all set to graduate on time! I'm hella excited!
On a less boring note, I've been listening to a lot of music lately. And that makes me happy. I've really gotten into this band called Chemlab and I've rediscovered some old favorites like Missy Elliot, Powerman 5000, old school Rihanna, Adele. I've prolly been spending too mush time in this endeavor, but I'm really happy about it, so I don't care too much.
Tomorrow, I don't have any classes. They're canceled because there's a student symposium going on and we're supposed to go to it and evaluate the speakers. I'll be taking the time allocated for that to sleep and prolly plan out the rest of my schedule for next year.
Right now, I'm going to take a nap. ^.^
Laterz.

And in the crush of the dark, I'll be your light in the mist.

Today was fabulous!
I actually went to Christian Traditions today! And while in the class, I had an epiphany! I've decided to change my major from Pre-Med to Education. My new plan is to become a High School level Spanish teacher!
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!
I know this doesn't seem like much to be happy about, but I'm so thrilled! I can't even begin to tell you how free I feel right now! I'm just so, I don't even know! I'm no longer under all of the pressure to be Mr. Science. I don't have to be stuck doing something just because I can. I can just do what I want to do, and be good at it! ^.^
So,  all of this happened during class, so I wasn't really paying attention to anything my professor was saying.
After class, I went to Improv. practice. It was really fun. I met up with Dorothy and Taryn afterwards and we went to dinner together. It was raining when we finished, so the three of us decided to play in the rain. We met up with some other people on the Mall and we played frisbee for like 2 hours. Once we were completely soaked, Taryn, Dorothy, and I went into one of the women's showers in East Hall and we took a shower together. It was hysterical. We put our wet clothes in the drier in the basement and we watched The Producers while we waited for them.
We didn't get to finish the movie before we had to leave for US, but that's alright. I had fun.

I'll never let you sweep me off my feet.

Hey everyone!
I didn't go to Christian Traditions today >.<
I'll definitely go Wednesday! I want to see what the professor made of my quiz. I took the liberty of writing in extra options for the multiple choice questions. I think she'll find them amusing. Yes, either that or she'll finally decide that I'm not taking her class seriously enough and that I should be repudiated immediately :3
I'm hoping for the best.

Here's a picture of a dolphin swimming with a cow:
I hope you enjoyed this. I'll be writing more soon. 
Maybe...

Isn't something missing? Isn't someone missing me?

Today was Easter. How lame is that? I didn't really do much. I chilled out, read some stuff for chemistry, reviewed things for other classes. A little earlier I made some fantastic vegan/vegetarian enchiladas. I took a package of tofu and sautéed it together with some seasonings. Then I added in some rice and beans to it and heated everything through. I rolled everything into flour tortillas; I added cheese to some, and I made two without cheese. Then I put the rolled tortillas in a pan, covered them with sauce and I let them heat through for a few minutes. Everyone really liked them! I was pretty psyched. I'll prolly have to make them again some time soon.
Well, I don't really have much more to say now. Classes start up again tomorrow, so I'm not too thrilled, but I think this half of the semester will be a little more exciting than the last half.
Here's hoping!
<3

There he goes; my baby walks so slow.

Greetings, all!
I've just recently set up a profile on LastFm. Well. I've set up a new profile and I've deleted my old one. I used to be PandaMafia, but I am now SillySahli on LastFm. I think it's rather befitting. Since SillySahli is now my name for pretty much everything. Whatever. Here's a link to my profile:

You should check it out and maybe make a profile of your own. Add me as a friend if you decide to join. We can compare music tastes and whatnot. It'll be amazing. 
Today is also Siren's birthday. I'm going to decorate the house for him since he's pretty much convinced that he's the only person in the world who can throw together a birthday party... I swear his ego's finally gotten bigger than his hair...and probably his feet, as well. Oh well. It'll add to the surprise. I can't wait to see his reaction. He'll prolly just act like he's been inconvenienced or something hilarious like that.
Wish me luck! <3

And it's not the weather; hand me my leather.

So. I've decided to add a playlist freh to my page so that everyone can listen to my music with me. It'll prolly change at least every week, but sometimes it'll change more often than that. I'm hoping to be able to keep the list down to only 10 songs so that no one is overwhelmed, but I can't really make any promises. I hope there's enough variety in the list for all of you, I'm pretty eclectic and I don't really turn down any kind of music, except country. I usually just need time to find something I like about a song. After that, I'm usually hooked.
So. Get used to hearing some crazy noises an' such whenever you check mah page. Lemme know if you want the music to stop auto-playing. I'll change it up to make things more convenient for you.
<3
You all are amazing.
