i have crabs...papa fidem scit...

i'm still laughing...

Saturday, May 31, 2003

I thought I might give an explanation of some titles I have around here.

"I have crabs" Well, the truth is I did have crabs. Two little hermit crabs, they were cute (well, sort of). Tragically, I have lost both of them. Hermit crabs have an average of an 11 year lifespan. Mine didn't even last 11 months. Mrs. Crab ate Mr. Crab at the beginning of the school year. Due to neglect, Mrs. Crab then died during the week of finals. I felt bad for a while, then realized that I had one less thing to move and I wouldn't have to find a caregiver for the time I'm in Italy and England. Really, her death was a godsend. RIP Mrs. Crab.

"Papa fidem scit" is Latin (pronounced "papa feed-'em shit") meaning "the pope knows the faith". I just can't get over how funny this really is...think about it (and to you Catholics out there, don't take offense! It's all in good fun).

"Papa has crabs" came about because "ihavecrabs.blogspot.com" was already taken. And it made me laugh to think about the Pope contracting an STD. hahaha!

There you go. No more wondering about why I'm still laughing. Hope everyone finds paying jobs and has a great summer.

Wow...we're actually moving out of 2176 St. Clair Ave. I'm moving back home, so that I can pack up and go to Italy for a month (June 10-July 12), then back home, then (maybe) to the kvetch apartment, then to England for Fall semester. Talk about moving! Bwah!

My lovely housemates now are moving into an apartment much closer to school. They will have a blast! And I will miss them terribly (hopefully they'll remember me...mook!).

I would love to see everyone before Italy and definitely after...give me a call (612-269-2740). Ciao ciao beautiful people !

Just a couple of quick notes in the midst of packing:

RIP Mrs. Crab...hermit crabs generally live 11+ years, mine lasted almost 11 months. Sad.

Paulus, Your mom is a terrorist :)

The Kvetch place needs a name. Any better ideas than "The Love Shack 00000069"?????

I'm going to continue my neverending mission of packing...ciao ciao for now.

Well, all the white that I had in my eyes has changed to red...but my two tests are over. (Only two papers left.) Theology went better than expected.

Latin was the kicker though. I got an email from my Latin professor (Magistra) yesterday, basically telling me that I fucked up this semester (because I refuse to revert to high school) and had no chance of bettering my grade, "but study hard for the final" she said mocking me.

So I did study hard...for about two hours.

Then I said, "Fuck you, Magistra. You tried to ruin Latin for me, but I still love the language! Mwahahaha!"

I'm a difficult/spirited child like that.

I took the (freakin' long) test, my leg fell asleep, my wrist ached, the knots in my back tightened, but I translated every fucking word on that test. (I even think I translated them correctly...or got the gist of the sentence at least. Way to go me!) But I could only answer about two of the grammatical questions. I dropped my test in front of Magistra, refused to look at her and give her the satisfaction of knowing that she screwed me.

Then I did the noble thing to do...I went into the bathroom and cried.

But, Magistra, you have not gotten the best of me. You will not advise me in writing my senior paper. And I will overcome this week, just to spite you. So, fuck you, Magistra. (Insert image of Kristen with middle finger erect.) Vale!

Oh, Finals, you have already caused poor Mrs. Crab to fall apart (quite literally, actually, one of her legs fell off and she is on her deathbed). You will soon be the death of me as well. Damn you, Finals! And a final farewell to the rest of you, ciao ciao!

Just thought I would let y'all know:

I will be decapitated by head hunters.

How will you die? Take the Exotic Cause of Death Test

So, I worked on one of my papers for about an hour today...other than that I've been non-stop going going going (soon I will be GONE!)

But the point is I still have all these damn papers to write, they don't just write themselves.

But I feel like I've been productive enough for the day...I deserve a break, a time for my mind to stop racing and for me to stop gnawing on my tongue!

HELP! I've lost my motivation to do homelywork! Encourage me! Motivate me! Somebody?!

I think my AIM away messages have been very demonstrative of this week. Here are some:

"Can I just crawl into a hole now, pleeeeassee?????"

"Crawling out of hole, one sentence at a time"

"inch....inch....inch...."

"Dante's descriptions are close...but truly, the Inferno is so much worse."

Hope the rest of you are having a good week to make up for this shit! Heart, Kristen.

So it's been a while...life has been one paper after another and me addicted to caffeine. This is going to continue until May 21st. Then I think I'm smooth sailing to Italy!
Exciting stuff has happened between the paper writing. Like, Kvetch got an apartment for the summer. Well, Jaimes, Adrianne and her boy Adam will be technically living there. But I get to have my toothbrush and I'm planning on having drunken pool parties and food in the fridge. I also went to a party last night and have never drank so much in such a short amount of time in my life! It was good...except for somebody puking on my arm-gross!
Anyway, I have so much shit to get done, but at least I'm in a good mood. That always makes life easier. Ciao ciao to all.
