I got soul but I'm not a soldier

Hooray, I'm updating! I'm taking advantage of my illusory break that is Friday afternoon to prattle on about unimportant things in my life since, hey, I don't have a 15 page paper due until Tuesday!
Yesterday I stood with Marcel, Craig, and the Wienbergs in front of the Campus Center and gave out free hugs. People around here don't go for hugs, it seems, because I only gave out 3. But I found out that, despite the hugs being free, they made $13 off of hug-tificates. I'm quitting school and becoming a professional hugger.
Tomorrow morning I'm leaving at 5:30 with my plant morphology prof and two classmates to drive to central Iowa to check out Woodman's Hollow. We're going to spend all day taking notes, drawing pictures, and collecting samples of mosses and liverworts. Dig it. I'm so sleeping in the car. If anyone wants a moss sample, let me know and I'll hook you up.
I have to get back to making agar plates in a bit. Sometimes I forget I'm a biology major, and then when I remember I laugh a lot because I think I'm an embarrassment to the department. Oh well.

Biggest desire at this moment: security. Not just a sense of it, but the real thing. It is good.

Throw up your rawkfist

At the behest of Sammy G., I am updating, and I'll try to be a bit more frequent. Sorry Sam.
Tonight we celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving, which is a fabulous holiday, if for no other reason, because it meant we got three kinds of pie for dessert tonight. HOWEVER it is also a fabulous holiday because my lovely roommate is a Canadian, and she's awesome.
I am so excited for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire to come out. Like, seriously, who wants to wait in line opening day with me????
I went running tonight and it was a fiasco, because apparently after eating a Thanksgiving meal you have to wait more than two and a half hours to avoid cramping, plus I'm still a little sick so my throat was all nasty and my ears hurt. Basically I cried all the way home.
This had better satisfy all 4 of you who read this for a day or so, because it's too late for me to think of anything more clever...

Biggest Desire at this Moment: to redo this past Saturday night. If you want details, feel free to ask. I may or may not tell you.
