Dear Diary,
I am a dork who is blogging on friday night. I spent an exciting evening watching E and VH1. I also attended a 4 hour class to get licensed as a liquor server in oregon. I now know everything that could possibly be relevant to alcohol laws in oregon state. Fantastic.
The RAs are not the brightest in Copeland Hall. We have had the most humongous dog in history living in our room for like four days. How have we not gotten caught? Don't ask me. I have no idea. We only take him out like 6 times a day. Today apparently two of the RAs were walking down our hall, they commented on the bowl of water that was next to our door, and saw the message that i left for sarah on the door, "Hey sarah, took nakai for a walk." The brilliant RAs left us a note under that to return our vacumn. But thus far they have not put two and two together and noticed that a dog might be living here.
I'm sure that there will be more exciting advancements in this story.
Love,
Diana

Dear Diary,
Is there anything better than an ice cold organic soda at my side? I don't know. I'll get back to you when i turn 21 and have my first taste of beer.
Good news everyone. someone turned in my key, so i don't have to pay fifty bucks to get the room re-keyed. Now i can spend 50 bucks on organic soda instead.
I was walking the resident dog today, and every kid who walks by is like "I LOVE DOGS! what kind of dog is that?!" I got tired of saying "It's an akita" so i started telling people that it was a mexican mountain dog. No one questioned me.
when i get a dog, i'm going to name it "itsaliger" so when people are like, what's your dogs name? I can say "itsaliger". then they'll be confused. like, wait... it's not a dog?
Love,
Diana

Dear Diary,
I have a new love in my life. He is strong, handsome, loving, loyal, has great bone structure, easy to please... Basically the best thing that has ever happenned to me. He may not be a person but those are just trouble anyway. They never work out the way you want them to. I love having a dorm dog. Don't tell my RA. It seems like it might be mean to make a dog stay in a dorm room, but he gets to roam our hallway, and he hangs out with the other girls. He has gotten walked like 5 times today. It's not a bad deal for him. I think he likes it. We like it, everybody wins.
Love,
Diana

Dear Diary,
I can't believe it. Bling Jr. died. what the heck!? We can't keep a fish alive for crap. Each of our fish have died in their own unique way. Getting their eyes mysteriously gouged out, spastically swimming fits and hard breathing breaks at the bottom of the tank.... But I've got even better news. Now we have a dog. Sarah's brother went to Italy, and we stole his dog. He is going to love it here. We will walk him like 5 times a day, take him to dog parks, buy him a burberry dog parka. I wonder if they have knockoff burberry dog parkas. that would be so funny. Buying knockoff clothes for an animal that doesn't even need clothes.
Love,
Diana

Dear Diary,
I read a new york times article on sunday about how there are thousands of parents in america blogging about their kids lives. How freaking boring if you ask me. The only people who care about that whatsoever is the parents. Maybe the grandparents. But who knows if the grandparents are using the internet. Maybe I should start blogging the life of my goldfish, and see how that goes.
Today my goldfish spent a lot of time sitting in the bottom of the tank, but then just when we were starting to get worried, it would start swimming around desparately and spastically like a bat out of hell. Then it would get tired and sit at the bottom of the tank again. I think that maybe Bling Jr. is just trying to shake things up in his or her relatively dull life. It's been breathing really heavily too. Maybe its mating season and Bling is all stressed out because there is no mates to be found. We TRIED to let him or her have some mates, but they all committed suicide or something.
Love,
Diana

Dear Diary,
I have never failed to make a friend on the train. Train riders are good folks. Today I met a guy who is a senior at U of O and studying political science. He explained how to play cricket to me. It sounds like the most ridiculous game in the world. I still don't really understand it at all. And I also met this couple who had come up to seattle for their 25th wedding anniversary and were playing Texas Hold em. They offered to teach me but i was pretending to study. I probably should have taken them up on the offer though, that way I could have come off the train with a life-skill instead of 30 pages of reading that I don't remember.
Love,
Diana
