Dear Diary,
I can see now why people in candy stores make fudge, and mere mortals do not. It takes time, muscles, skill, and finesse, among other things.

I want to let my loyal public know that I am sorry for not posting for a few days. I have been on the road, AKA tracks. train tracks. I am in Seattle on business. This business entailed fudge business, and driving an infiniti around in the U district friday night. It's also going to entail getting a refill for my dang labelmaker and going to ikea, the second happiest place on earth.
Love,
Diana

Dear Diary,
I am so funny. Sarah just asked me, "how do you spell gullible?" I replied, "g-u-l-l-i-r-s-k-z". It took her a while to get it but that's okay.
Love,
Diana

Dear Diary,
I am so sad I don't have my snowboard with me. Or maybe grateful. The snowboard club trucked in a bunch of snow this afternoon and set up ramps and jumps on this lawn. It's amazing what they spend money on at this school! I would be tempted to try some jumps or something IF i had my snowboard, but I would probably fall and die.
College bowl went well. My team was made up of four interesting guys and me. One of them had pretty intense sideburns, and claimed to be a pro at six degrees of kevin bacon. another was wearing a ridiculous tracksuit from the 80's and knew medival history. beforehand they were all trying to figure out what each of our "fortes" were, and I was like, "ummm, coach purses?" they didn't get it. but I proved to be an asset to the team when I got two questions that no one had any idea on. I knew a science fiction question of all things. (thank you ms. lavelle) I also knew a question about BMW history. Amazing. go me!
Love,
Diana

Dear Diary,
today is a very exciting event. college bowl! Like knowledge bowl in highschool but college bowl for college. I am nervous. What if the other kids don't like me?! I think it's really fun but I don't necessarily know very many random facts. I am sure that college bowl will be even more challenging than highschool knowledge bowl.
I got a job today. working for the Bon appetit catering service at my school. For special events and stuff. Apparently there is a lot of special events. And you get 9 bucks an hour which seems pretty good. It sounded like a great plan until the lady was like, "welcome aboard, here's your bowtie." i had no idea that i was signing on for bowtie wearing. I thought my bowtie wearing days were over in middle school. At least it's not gold like the ones we had to wear in junior band in sixth grade. Thank god I was only in that for one year, and got to move up to the purple bow tie by seventh grade.
Love,
Diana

Dear Diary,
This weekend I got gelato on 23rd street (Portland's hippest neighborhood), and all I can think about is going back to get more. I had spumoni ice cream at dinner today. turns out the green part is pistachio. what pea brain thought that was a good idea?
Love,
Diana

Dear Diary,
I made an executive decision in the dorm today. In our bathroom, we have a crossword puzzle stall, and it had been up for forever, and we were all getting sick of it. So i changed it into the "Political Outrage Stall" I even put a sign on the door that was typed so everyone knows it's for real. Then I printed out this article about Bush that my dad sent me and put it inside the stall so people could read it. I'm hoping there will be other postings and submissions soon. Good thing there is no republicans on my floor. just 14 girls who voted for Kerry. whenever republicans do come on my floor (there is like 3 who are jocks) Sarah gets really heated and angry and has to close the door before she starts a fight. It's pretty funny.
I've got big plans for the other two stalls now. I was thinking the baby animals stall would be a good idea. Or perhaps cool expensive purses stall.
Love,
Diana
