  • So it's Christmas, eh?

    Four days until Christmas, crazy how this semester went by so quickly (and the amount of time since my last post).

    I have finally got some alone time, my roommate has been deployed to wherever and I have the apartment to myself.

    I'm going to start decorating the kitchen with black and white blown-up photos and black frames.

    I bought an amazing peacoat and scarf, a few people tell me I look European--I love the way European people dress.

    Today is the first day I started really studying for the MCAT, I've only studied 11 pages so far. At this rate, I'll be done studying in 32 days--just in time to take the MCAT in January. I only have one shot at this, the pressure is on.

    I need more music in my life. I've been trying to find a decent piano price for an electric keyboard with weighed keys so that when one pushes a key at different forces, differences in loudness can be heard. In the mean time, I've been singing a lot.

    I got an A in Biochemistry but a B in Philosophy, it's a win-lose situation.

    One of my best friends lost her best friend this semester. He jumped off the parking garage at school before classes. They took her out of Biochemistry to tell her.

    I've gotten pretty close to Candice, Jordan, and Melissa this semester. We hang out tons.

    For Halloween, I dressed up as Waldo. People I didn't know were yelling at me while I was on campus just walking around. She dressed up like a phone-sex hotline girl with a giant boa that lit-up. I did her hair and made it look very raggedy. I'm going to be the "?" guy from TV or Carmen Sandiego next year.

    I've come to the realization that Spencer (my ex) just uses people for sex. He tried to use me and used a few other people I know. Apparently, his friends all use people for sex also, so nobody cares.

    I cut my own hair yesterday, it looks really nice. I need to brush up a little on the highlights though.

    I went to CCMH Xmas Lockin this weekend. I've realized how perverted so many of the kids there are--it was kind of gross.

    I'm going on a diet as of Wednesday to gain 20 pounds by the time school is out. I bought $75 of exercise equipment stuff to work out a little, and I have been counting calories, carbs, and protein. I've gained 3.5 lbs this week.

    I need to go Christmas shopping for my friends soon. It's so hard to pick out stuff for friends.

    I found somebody impersonating me on some website the other day. He was using my pictures for over a month--some guy from Colorado. I emailed the webmaster to have his account and IP address banned.

    I put my screenname and website name on every picture on all websites except Facebook and MySpace now to be safe.

    I'm going to go play playstation--I haven't done that in a very, very long time.

    Yours Truly,

    Benjamin Cook

  • So I haven't updated in ages...again.

    I've been so busy with a lot of things.

    I filled out an application for city council and Hospice House volunteering, I hope I get it. I'm officially in 12 student organizations now. I've been working for awhile getting all my NSCS stuff finished, I'm almost done...I hope.

    My ferrets are going crazy.

    I'm not even sure what to write on here.

    I've been slacking with all my studying because work is overtaking my life.

    i took another practice MCAT. I got a 36 again. I guess I'm doomed to not get any higher. I am hoping to get around a 40. A 36 is still good enough for almost anywhere, but I want higher.

    I am starting up writing a book again--I hope I can find time to do it with classes, volunteering, work, and MCAT studying.

    I need to get a license. I was supposed to go to Parkersburg today but my ride vanished.

  • I haven't updated in what seems like months. I'm at work right now. I got a paycheck the other day with 50 hours. I was excited. Anyway. All day today, I helped new Freshman move into the dorms for a few hours. My arms are sore, and I busted the top of my foot on the stairs. I went straight from that to work. So I'm here for an 8 hour shift.

    Anyway. Moving the Freshman was fun. The rooms were really small. It made me mad because my ex (the one that I was engaged to almost) showed up and tagged along with my friend. He started hitting on guys and got the number of this guy that I happened to be friends with. Anyway, my ex is seeing someone and shouldn't be getting numbers and flirting with multiple guys like he has. So I told the guy that he got the number off of to warn him.

    I got a B in physics. I totally did very well on the final to bring up my C test score to a B. I got an A in lab. Classes start in 2 days. I'll have 22 hours. =(. My MacBook crashed but I fixed it, and my phone died and lost everything. I just got my new one today in the mail.

    I'm meeting someone tomorrow. My friend Candice and I are going to go to Morgantown and go to the lake, ice-skating, hike, swim, etc.

  • Trio of Hate

    So, my summer class has 5 days left, and it's over. It's weird that we finished 2 18 week courses in 4 weeks.

    Anyway, i am being super crafty.

    My roommates moved out and the apartment is all mine =).

    I bought an awesome tan suede couch and coffee table that matches it and my kitchen tile perfectly. I got dark red suede pillows to match, and brown sheers for the window. There's a rug that matches the couch exactly and two aloe plants, and the same color red candle sitting in sand. there's also a palm tree in the living room. Then, I made an awesome abstract painting with all those exact colors to tie it together.

    For the kitchen, I got a glass table with 4 chairs that have the same suede on them. There's red everything, pots, pans, dishes, microwave, mat, etc. I'm going to hang up high contrast black and white photography framed in red in the kitchen to match the oven and tie all the colors of the kitchen together.

    My room, i just hung up a few chinese-imported paintings, some chop sticks, some chinese fans, scrolls, bamboo, rice paper stuff, a giant chinese hat, and my bamboo blinds. i'm making this giant wall thing made of faux bear fur and bamboo that i'm going to cut into the shape of the chinese symbol (Ai) for love.

    The apartment is becoming really amazing.

    Anyway, so earlier in my posts i mentioned this guy I had been talking to again who suddenly stopped talking to me altogether. Well he was online tonight so I tried talking to him again to see what was wrong. He apparently thinks i was trying to sleep with a few people while also trying to sleep with him (both of which are lies). Anyway, he told me to *&%^ off and blocked me. Later, I messaged my other ex who I consider a friend who also told me to **** off for no apparent reason. Anyway, it turned out this guy who likes me knows both of these people, and both of these people told him this evening that i was trying to sleep with them. This guy likes me so he got really mad about it and told each ex that I was trying to sleep with the other ex. Then he told me to %#$@ off. So now there's this trio of hatred for me all based on a bunch of lies. To top it off, the guy who likes me that i just mentioned is friends with my ex that I was almost engaged to. Who in turn, is friends with a few people who don't like me because I wouldn't have sex with them or go drinking.

    So now it's only a matter of time before a bunch of ridiculous rumors start again much like last year with this guy named miles who told me "I'll ruin your life" because I wouldn't have sex with him.

    People here act like they are in 5th grade. It's pretty disappointing that people like this exist.

    More on life later.

  • My room's a mess, I need to clean it so I can let my ferrets out to play.

    I woke up an hour late for class today, but somehow I was only 20 minutes late.

    I learned that Edison was crazy. He shocked and killed stray animals for displays against AC power (despite his DC power did the same thing). He ate at this restaurant everyday where he was given 14 napkins because he cleaned his own plates before using them. He kept his window of his loft open so that pigeons would come in and live with him. He would also make ball lightning and have it roll down streets.

    I went tanning then swimming today. Alicia, Kristen, and I all talked about tons of stuff like orifices and I was a judge for the vague olympic diving competition. After a few hours, we got hungry so we drove to Target and rocked out to music. We got Velveta and ate tons of it and toblestone or something like that (it's a kind of chocolate).

    I came home and did Physics II homework and now I'm bored and smell like chlorine.

    I got my two necklaces in today that I ordered.

    Where are you?
