I'm still Crazy Dan, which seems to have become a full-fledged nickname. Not since grade school, when I was somewhat affectionately known at 'Hobo', have I had a nickname that was neither a taunt nor a pathetic device reinforced mainly by me. A true nickname sticks, and doesn't need to be referenced. And this one won't seem to go away, so in a way, I'm satisfied.

My moniker is Jinx's invention, of course; she lives just upstains, because all the coolest cats live in The Fire Hazard That Is Orsmby this year.

Ann, The Politician, Jonas, Meg(h)an, The Poet, Sockless Pete, Dungeon Master, Modern Hippy, The Humanist, Rock Show Girl -yes, the exciting cast of people with nicknames you'll never remember is back and ready for an entirely new season. In Ormsby.

Rock Show Girl and Graham must be kept forever seperate; I believe this more and more each day.

Our room is exciting. We're postering up the walls with an exciting new duct-tape technique, and soon this room will be plenty colorful, a celebration of our collective good taste. Requiem For A Dream, Crouching Tiger, Memento, Existenz, which Jonas loved for some reason… the list goes on, but not here.

And it's enormous, especially now that our beds are bunked. The ultimate contribution of my AP scores seems to have been this room, because they certainly aren't getting me out of here any quicker.

In non-location-related news, I've been busy prettymuch since I got here, with all the paperwork and training for jobs and such. Things have been pretty hectic, and I can't get anything done in the room -every time I try to blog Jonas' Gamecube distracts me and I just give up, and I had to go to Briggs early today to get my reading done.

I think that there's little chance I'll ever get work done this year while Jonas is in the room, which is no problem because I didn't get anything done in the room last year either, and a roommate who entertains me is a step up from Greg, whose mellowness and vastly different interests were as much a detriment as an asset. Jonas out-insomniacs me though, staying up until three each night while I'm off to bed at two.

Later.
