I probably knew this existed before and then forgot and was all “oh hey let’s do science.”

text. [sweaterboy revisited edition.]
Kiwi: Sweaterboy is wearing fleece. This is not okay.
Cat: NO SWEATERBOY NO. DOES HE NOT REALIZE THE RULES?!
K: Obviously not. I even wore my sheep vest just in case conversation led to reciprocal petting.
C: dammmmmit! Such a bummer. Although in that case, he would be feeling you up.
K: Actually, no. It would be like, me open coat like a flasher to expose sheep vest and invite him in to the goodies. Actually, I'm going to stop talking because I sound like a creep. I don't know how to explain this logic.
C: That would be the most epic creeping ever. Most epic thing ever.
K: HAHA I know! He was also growing some sort of blondealicious beard thing. Did not compensate for microfleece and lack of overall fuzziness today.

Some lady driving behind me was flossing. FLOSSING. AND DRIVING.

kiwi meets new people.
New person: Is that a squirrel on your shirt?
Kiwi: Um, yeah.
NP: Oh.
K: Yeah.
NP: Cool.
K: Yeah.
NP: Alright.
K: I'm Kiwi.
NP: Yeah?
K: Yeah.
NP: Oh.

among friends.
Hey all,
On Monday, a friend of mine had a baby, the adorable Lucas. This kid could not have had a bigger rooting section: he’s already surrounded by more family and friends ready to welcome him into their lives and love him to bits than most people will ever come to know in a lifetime. Still, this morning I learned that he was moved to the ICU with several complications. For no apparent...

Kiwi: Some kid next to me was wearing the most fabulous fuzzy sweater. It took my every effort not to be a creep and pet him.
Cat: ... HE was wearing a fuzzy sweater? How fuzzy? Like small animal fuzzy?
K: Like cashmere plus excess.
C: Holy mother. How did you resist?!
K: I don't know. But one might think that, "Hi, I'm Kiwi. You look really fluffy today. Can I pet your chest?" would be the best conversation starter ever.
C: ...
K: Like some girls would come out of that situation with a husband. And a great story to tell the grandkids.
C: hahaha I would go for it if someone said that to me.
K: Aww, thanks. That's why we're already soul mates.

reassuring.
Today in physics class, I got booed. Like, literally. Kids stood up to boo and hiss at me and the two other commuters in my class. Apparently I am single-handedly killing the earth with my “over-ten-mile-commute.” This seems slightly excessive.

scientific discovery.
I have found that I get hit on more often when I am wearing my glasses than when I am not. This is counter-intuitive. But maybe I just don’t look like an overgrown 14 year old when I’m wearing glasses. Who knew.

my good judgement.
I just looked up my physics homework online. I decided it was too difficult, especially considering how I only have had one intro “let’s read the syllabus aloud” lecture. I deemed “You never taught me how to do this, and assuming I know how is pretentious so I’m not doing it” an acceptable excuse.
marc jacobs = love.
Ordering a bitchload of Jacobs by Marc Jacobs specialty items because this stuff is like, $1. No joke. I’m on cloud nine.
It’s cute when I check my email and there’s a message from Twitter saying I have a direct message from Channing Tatum. I don’t even care that it’s basically publicity spam, I can totally pretend that we’re friends in real life.
going Gaga.
I just caught my father singing the opening bars of “Bad Romance.” I love how he’s all “no speak English” and then he busts a Gaga.

dear kiwi,
Yeah, good idea with that “Hey let’s take quantum physics.” GOOD IDEA.
I GOT A B IN OCEANOGRAPHYYYY.
Here’s to drawing hammerhead sharks on exams to distract from lack of science skillz.

professor.
So I have this fabulous new professor. He’s like, a hundred years old, grumpy and curses a lot, so obviously we’re going to get along swimmingly. When he first walked into the classroom, he was appalled by the fact that the projector, laptop desk, and general “technology cart” was in the front of the room. He exclaimed, “What’s this shit doing in my...

soml.
There’s this kid I literally see squatting around campus. Like, he’ll be in doorways and stuff. He wears crazy pajama pants every day, along with way too many accessories: hat, scarf, gloves, pins, etc. Maybe thinking he was homeless was going a bit too far, but he definitely seems sketch. Anyway, what I came here to blog about is: he’s in one of my classes. And the way I attract...

I like explaining to people that I’m going back to school, but I’m really not going anywhere.
Apparently this is a foreign concept.

haircut.
Basically, I was going to write about how yesterday I thought I liked my new haircut. And this morning I thought it looked like the love child of a bob and a mullet. But then I got sidetracked and went on YouTube to watch “My New Haircut” and yeah I’m done now.
One of my Spring classes has already assigned me homework. (Classes start Tuesday.) But we have the option of reading the works in English, Russian, or Polish. I have decided, at least for the sake of this first assignment, that I’m going to read all 3 confuse the hell out of everyone.

Oh, that’s it.
ocean.
Today’s my last Oceanography class. It’s actually my final exam. Then my “real” classes start on Tuesday. Where I will have to introduce myself to people again (always slightly traumatic) and talk about the nice, long, restful break that I spent in class and working.
blue planet.
Watched a portion of Blue Planet today. At one point, there was what could have quite possibly been an epic battle between two different species of sea slugs. The scene took about five minutes, as you can imagine, with the bully slug sliming its way toward the other slug, its potential snack. As the bigger slug caught the other, the little one curled up into a ball and rolled away, with only...
jersey shore.
In Oceanography class, we discussed Jersey Shore. As in, the tv show, not necessarily the place. Because this discussion is pertinent to our oceanic studies. Some kid thought Jersey Shore was part of the “Survivor” series. I think I am going to propose this as the next hit show.
Survivor: New Jersey, shore edition. “If the hairspray and bar fights won’t get you, the...

wendy's.
Yesterday I went to Wendy’s. Behind me, there was a pack of miserable-looking Mexican elves. Apparently they work for a Christmas decoration landscaping company. They were all wearing red or green hoodies that said “Have you seen an elf today?” on the back. I was basically ecstatic. When I went out to a parking lot, their truck was there, with a big man in red in the...

K: All this talk about the Super Bowl is making me want soup.
Mom: Yeah, me too. WE HAVE MINESTRONE.
K: Let's do it!
I have a bank account made up entirely of money...
So I hope you understand that I don’t care whether or not the penny’s face up, it’s valuable to me nonetheless.

still growing?
K: I'm getting that tense, springy feeling in my knees that generally ends up adding three inches to my stature.
Mom: Oh noooooooooo.
K: Yes, I know, tragic.
Mom: Jeeeeeez. You're 19!!! Keep this up and you'll be on TLC.
K: Yeah, a special feature showing right after The Guy Who's Turning Into A Tree.
Mom: Girl Who Never Stopped Growing.

laundry.
My mom had to commute to work all week this week (she usually works from home 2 days a week) and therefore she was saying how she’s a little behind with stuff like the laundry, that she can put on while she’s working, instead of saving it for the weekend. I took this as my cue, and this morning I started a load of laundry and have been switching it out ever since. I really hope that I...
