Thursday, April 29, 2010. In response to the "awkward situation" mentioned below, Adrija and Rosii have prepared a special intro for today. My only objections are that I think it was Rosii who suggested the idea in the first place, and that one might think by this description of events that the photos actually depicted elderly folk. This is false. Very false. The intro is as follows:

When Ian asked me to help him make a facebook add, my expectations were few; some minor hilarity and a brief moment of procrastination. However, what I got was much more. I got an insight into a part of the mind of the one and only Ian Kernohan. As I made that fateful trek across the library my heart skipped a beat, my breathing become forced, I knew that we were about to make history. Our dream was simple, yet revolutionary: an ad for old people sex. It would change the world.
There was one problem, however, we needed a picture. What could possibly portray this idea we had. Sir Kernohan gallantly pulled up the pictures on his computer and we began our search for the perfect image for our perfect idea. As the document file opened an interesting array of photos appeared on the screen. “What’s that?” I said, pointing to one particularly interesting image. The image flashed across the screen for a fleeting moment, yet the damage was done. My virgin eyes burned, I could feel the devil creeping its way into my soul.
We stood there, momentarily speechless, before we both burst into laughter as ian sat there, still speechless, reddening a tad. Who knew THAT was on his computer?! Those pictures should be buried in a folder within a folder within a folder so innocent minds don't accidently stumble upon such a shock for the eye.
On that day, we got to know Ian in a way we'd usually prefer not to. But we’ve actually become much closer because of the incident. We love you Ian. All of you!

Enjoy day 69!

Day 69

Breakfast was cream of wheat and coffee cake. The test in Spanish went well, though I didn't know what one word meant and guessed. It's easy stuff, with a few simple mistakes probably. I can write killer essays; grammar doesn't bother me that much now. I read the reading after the test since I had time. In E. Sci., Pat took us to Garden Hill and below for soil sampling, a technique I will use (and did) at my site. It was crazy cold at the end, especially when he brought out the water for us to test the grittiness of the soil. Our hands were freezing; Maddy, Lex, Matt and I were vocal about it. In History, we discussed Reagan's foreign policy, and I continued my trend of taking notes.

In English, my word was chosen, extol, and Rachel, Taylor and I had a slightly one-sided argument about Self-Reliance with Megan K. Lunch was yet again couscous, and yummy spaghetti. At the dish crew table, Phoebe and Charlotte discussed Kate's health, and then Gabby, Kiana and I wondered as to possible new Health Officers, since Brigitte can be a little harsh sometimes. Pat, Jack, Kit, Comfort and Ben were all suggested. We ended dish crew early, after a little rant about ketchup and its being on the bottom of plates with Phoebe. I went to my site and discovered an odd mound. I took soil samples, and reinforced my idea that it was used for grazing.

Upon returning, I did some E. Sci. work, some internet, and the math test, with or without the help of my book. It was easy, but there were two confusing questions. Math itself was easy—another quiz on functions. They are easy, but the way she writes problems makes it seem hard. Dinner was stir-fry, rice and beans: a great meal. I sat with Danny, Isaac, Phoebe and perhaps a few other people. We listened to an impromptu humble from Lex, Jay and Matt about ginger kids being the sun. After dinner, I did History (no math homework; did it in class) and E. Sci. I have a good chunk of my chapter done; I just need to draw things tomorrow in class.

There was an awkward moment involving Rosii and Adrija and photos. Hopefully that will be repared soon. I did shutdown after being distracted by Nora, Steph, Matt and Jay with their fake punching that I joined in, and went back to Miles to find Sam S and Isaac laying down the I'm In Vermont track, with gusto and volume. Jake and I moved Sam's dresser and found the mirror, but not my Colour of Magic book, and then decided to prank Sam by sliding his dresser inbetween his bed and desk. After that, it was work and sleep. Friday tomorrow!
