Warts and All

Right now my roommate and her engineering lab partner are working on disassembling a toothbrush and I'm dying a portion of my hair blue. It's raining ridiculous amounts right now, resulting in our little patch of desert being a bit of a swamp. Doesn't happen often, this much rain, so it's interesting to watch.

My classes this semester seem pretty cool. But that's not what I'm going to talk about. I'm going to talk about warts. Warts are awesome. We have them on all our buildings, if you aren't aware...they're the blocks of concrete sticking out of the pillars and the edges of the buildings around here as decorations. However, they have many, many purposes, as they're really fixed well onto the buildings. They're frequently used to hold our modes of transportation, such as scooters, skateboards, longboards, and unicycles...there's even a little plaque on one of the warts specifically marking President Klawe's skateboard-holding wart. Our mascot is Wally Wart for a reason.

Of course, this is just the popular use for the warts. Warts can also be used to climb; if you want to, say, stick a poster to the ceiling of one of the covered areas outside, you can climb up the warts. It's even possible for the stronger among us to make it to the second story of inner dorms via climbing the warts below the outer rail. I saw somebody today using one as a drinkholder while she opened her umbrella (a two-handed operation)...it's quite impressive.

Anyway, my hair is blue-ish now, the toothbrush is in more pieces and I should get around to homework at some point. Keep your awesome!

OOH OOH OOH something else to add...I've created a page at http://www.formspring.me/heraldicsandfox where you can ask me random questions and stuff! Check it out and ask me something if ya like!
