I have a Cloud! I also have most of my draft-essay on why Hamlet/Horatio is my OTP really important to the play done, and it's not due until Friday. So I'm way on top of things. And also wrote like ten paragraphs of RP posts today. Which is a good thing.
I also forgot to mention my grand adventures at the MIT info session on Sunday. Mostly they involved playing DDR. I think everybody else who came is stupid, because they passe up a fifty-cent DDR Extreme machine. The game room was totally empty. Which means I played two of the best games of DDR I've done in a while, which was totally awesome. The info session itself wasn't much to speak about - not hideously boring, but not all new and exciting anyway. It basically confirmed everything I already knew, although I discovered I may have a better shot at MIT than I thought. And the parents of kids applying are apparently not as bright as their kids, because the same question, more or less, got asked over and over and over, with slight variations. Made me want to kiiiiill.
...And I'll stop now, because apparently my brain is on something at the moment.
EDIT: Jo quote of the night, while I remember to share it - "I was under the impression that helicopters came later in the real world for a reason - because planes work under the same principles as birds, and helicopters work under the principle of crack."

My RP's (all... one of them) were more silent today then the .5 seconds in Resident Evil before zombie-men jump out of alleyways an eat you.
Our DDR machines here ate the University are 2 dollars. Y'all should have had masses gratefully attacking the 50-cents-to-play machine.

Most of the ones around here are a dollar a person, which still makes the MIT one stupid-cheap. There's usually a four-person line to play, which is why I was amazed that there was _nobody_ in there.

The ones at home are one dollar, but so blasted annoying because you can 'play unlimited' on random days; so the same kids plays for about 45 minutes, and he's always spaztastically good, and after staring like a deer in headlights, you're obliged to run away.

I'm not intimidated by super-good DDR skillz, mostly because some of my friends are in that group, but I think I would get bored after like twenty minutes and wander off.

Staying to watch is a waste of life. Once they get a AA on Max Unlimited on Heavy, it's time to just go home.

Yeah, it does get a bit pointless.
