Rachel: Doesn’t that girl remind you of Laurel?
Krisis: I just don’t get the sense of innocence and raw sex appeal from her that i would expect from such a comparison.
Rachel: I’m starting to think we think of Laurel in two totally different ways…
Krisis: Have you ever seen her in the catwoman suit?
Rachel: Yes, and i think we think of Laurel in two totally different ways…

It’s funny, but already at 19 everyone looks familiar. The overwhelming feeling i have when i meet people now is not “Oh, a new person” but instead “Oh, someone who resembles person X in Y way.” I think this whole phenomenon first reared it’s familiar head over the summer while i was working at Orientation as a way for me to quickly associate my student’s faces if not their names. Sometimes it’s not even a face that i associate, but a haircut or a behavior, but either way it makes for a very uncomfortable sense of Deja-Vu when i meet new people as i found myself doing last night.

I didn’t know that they still made Zima. Does anyone else remember when that first came out? Jesus… i wonder if the Zima i saw was just overstock from back then…

Pi Nu Epsilon is a cool group of people because you know you have one overriding truth in common with everyone else in the Fraternity: you love music. Maybe you love to be in the spotlight, or to hold down the rhythm, or just to sit back inbetween your parts and listen, but it’s an uncommon comfort in relating to relative strangers that you know they swoon for a sweet melody the same way you do. Another interesting aspect of finally meeting our three other chapters is that they’re approximately three quarters female because both their bands and schools are predominantly female (whereas Drexel, primarily being an engineering and technology school, is almost to the point of an even gender split). I went over rather well for not knowing a single person (the first comment out of my mouth after our dizzying and frigid dorm-to-dorm dash search for the other members was “That was the worst fucking game of hide-and-go-seek i’ve every played.”), and i (as a matter of course) developed a crush on one of my sisters from another chapter in about ten minutes flat. Overall, the people were cool, we got stuff done, and i ate a whole freakin’ lot of red meat. I think i gained 10 pounds. Uck. But, hey, i looked dead sexy the whole time.

Might i add that on my way out to nearly miss the train yesterday i threw two handfuls of styling gell in my hair and just piled it on the top of my head, and the result was me looking dead fucking sexy for one entire day. That only happens to me once or twice a year, ya know…
