Right now I am sitting in the lab, working a very boring shift as usual. Not only am I in the least used (yet nicest) lab on campus, but it is Sunday night of a three-day weekend, after the first week of classes. Its like a triple whammy for people not using the lab. Over the last four hours there has been a total of 1 person in the lab using the computers, and she was here before I got here, so I didn't even have to do anything. I really like this lab, and I have the chance to get things done, since no one is ever down here, but sadly I don't have anything to do right now, and its incredibly cold. But, on the the more interesting part.
So there is this guy who also works for the same organization as I do, and he always seemed to find and bother me when I worked in the other lab on the other side of campus. He's kind of a creeper I hate to say, but he always tries to talk to me and I feel bad because its very awkward (me being anti-social and all) ANYWAY, he came into my lab today and was like "we're gonna borrow the study room to play D & D tonight" (great) "Oh and hey, don't I know you from some place? you look very familiar" (heh right, its not like you talked to me everytime I was on shift in the other lab) so I responded saying something witty about returning the room when they were done with it and that I used to work in the other lab. And so he got all excited "oh yea, thats where I remeber you, so what are you doing here?" I respond saying I work here and he proceeds to come over to my desk and start looking at what I was doing on the computer. Luckily I was just watching this cute little video on youtube from an independant film festival. But he just kept trying to talk to me, something about Ian being in the other lab now and I being over here, like we switched or something, I don't know I wasn't really paying attention. Anyway, after that a whole gaggle of creepers walk in and proceeded to set up camp in the dtudy room (great, I have to close around these guys and hope they turn the lights off) Oh and then he started talking about the tape despenser and how it was all art-deco and he'd never seen on like it and had to show his friends, and they were amazed (um, its tape... big wow heh) Anyway, that was incredibly awkward.
So I mentioned its a three-day weekend (exciting!) and me and two of my roommates decided to go to Idaho and visit one of thier homes there. So we drove for like 7 hours to get down there (she claims it only takes 5 1/2 hours, but we did change time zones, threw me all off) and we get there at like 11pm on Friday. We didn't really have the energy to do anything so we all went to sleep. The drive was a lot of fun, I got to chat with my roommate, while my suitemate slept in the back. On Saturday we crammed a ton in, I didn't think there was that much time in the day.
So first me and my roommate got up early (heh like 10) and went to breakfast at this fun little restaurant. Sadly it was really busy so we had to sit at this little counter in the back that was facing a mirror. It was fun, we got to be total creepers. But the awkward part was we sat in the middle and on my right was the little old lady who was there before us and just sat there the whole time drinking coffee, she never got anything to eat. And then on my roommate's left there was this creppy old man who kept trying to talk to her, I felt so bad, but it was too funny. About halfway through my massive pancake two new old men took the seats next to both of us and proceeded to be older and creepier. It was hilarious. After that though we went back and got our suitemate up and went to work out with her family's personal trainer. He was a little too excited to be exercising that day. But I felt bad becuase (first off I hate exercising, so I didn't want to work out) but I didn't bring any workout clothes, so I sat on the side and watched them all workout, it was pretty funny. The trainer kept trying to get me to work out too, it was weird. I liked how he would be talking to one of them, and then would turn around and be like "good job there, keep up the speed" heh when he hadn't even been looking at them.
After that we went to this fun little market and bought some yummy bread and such. Then after going back and showering and such we went to this great little shop in the downtown that was like a vinateg store, but it had new clothes too. I didn't really like the style of most of the stuff there, but I did find this adorable little black dress and got it for only 15$ (there was a mega sale on) Sadly, I don't really have any shoes to wear with it since I fail at being female. But I will have to change that.
Next on our adventure we went to this shady little tattoo and peircing place. It wasn't that scary since it was very well lit, very white, and smelt very clean. But my suitemate wanted to get a second set of peircings on her ears, and I have never had my ears pierced, so I wanted to get that done. It was an adventure to say the least. It took a while and every now and then the tattoo guy kept coming up to us and asking if we needed anything and tried to have a convorsation with us. He was incredibly nice for how he looked. And the lady that did my ears was really nice and did a really good job. The only downside was that they only had scary earrings, so I have these hoops in my ears that look like they would go through a bull's nose or soemthing, but they are growing on me, and I will get to change them soon, so I'm excited.
Then we drove all over the place and got burgers at this crazy place that didn't make sense and walked all over downtown Boise and went to a Coldstone right before they closed. The girl working there closed the door but let us stay and then this whole bunch of silly emo teenagers came up and kept standing by the door even though you could tell they were closed. After a while the lady let them in, but I just had to laugh. Then we walked all over again and got to see all the little girls going clubbing wobbling along in thier mini-skirts and high-heels. Too funny.
Then we stayed up until about 4 am talking with my roommate's mom and got up at about 9 am and drove back home. The drive was much more exciting in the day light. Well now I am going to have to ignore the creepers talking to me about not being about the get scholarships and close up shop!
