Surprise!!

Oh hey guys.  Sure, it's been a bunch of months since I've posted anything, but I think this is worth it:

I love it so much.

YouTube

Have any of you guys ever heard of a www.YouTube.com? It's this website where people can upload, share, and view videos. And it's AWESOME.

Okay, yeah. I know. YouTube was invented a while ago (actually, according to wikipedia:YouTube, it was created in Spring of 2005, which is also when I graduated from college. This is totally depressing because I can't imagine a world before YouTube, yet I'm unwilling to fully come to terms with the fact that I've been out of college for so long).

Anyway, lately, I've become completely obsessed with it. As in, I can't get enough of it. Like, the first thing I do when I get home is check it for new videos... or, let's be honest, watch the same Oldies but Goodies over and over and over again. Throughout the day, I walk around thinking of my favorite clips, sometimes singing outloud and/or acting them out... in public. Really, YouTube might be the only thing that makes me happy in my sad, pathetic, med school-filled life.

Here are some additional signs that I might have a YouTube problem:

• Instead of actually talking to people I haven't seen in a while (relatives, old friends, etc.), we just get out a computer and spend hours watching different videos.
• Sis-T has made the Bed Intruder Song the ringtone for when I call her:

• I'm going to dress up as 4 year-old in pj's for Halloween, because I just love Jessica's "Daily Affirmation" video so much (sure, this costume is random and will be completely unrecognizable/not funny to like 97% of the people I run into, but I still love it so much):

• I've convinced my friends to also dress up as YouTube characters for Halloween... and they're GOING TO DO IT*.

I guess things could be worse. Right now, most of these activities still involve social interaction. I mean, it's not my fault Sis-T also happens to love the Bed Intruder Song. Or that my friends were lacking costume ideas. Or that other people also seem to love watching and talking about their favorite videos... for hours at a time.

Oh, and just so you know, this is the video that finally sent me over the edge and convinced me to blog about my love for YouTube:

Are you kidding me?! It's a BIRD! Dancing to a ridiculous song written by a 9 year-old!!! OMG I love it.

*In case you were wondering: they're going to be Keyboard Cat and Zombie Turtle Kid.

In class: Sleepers

Okay. I know. I need to write more posts to this thing or LAMe! LAMe! will just be… lame. (Also, that last sentence was pretty lame in and of itself… I’m sorry). My problem is that there are pretty much only two things I think about: school and boys. School is boring to anyone not in med school (okay, yeah…and even to those who are in med school). And my thoughts on boys/dating are just kind of pathetic/embarrassing. Soo… that leaves me kind of low on topics.

Anyway, in an attempt to keep this thing going, I’ve decided to bore you all and start a series on my favorite things that happen in class. You see, I’m a class-goer (meaning, I’m almost always in class). I’m also pretty much terrible at paying attention. Instead I do really important things like daydream (class is probably my most productive daydreaming time of the day) and people-watch (I would definitely say that socializing is another big motivator behind my class-goer status).

Which leads me to today’s topic: Sleepers. My favorite thing to do in class is look for people who have fallen asleep. I’m not sure why, but it’s pretty much always entertaining to me. And it happens literally every day. There’s one guy who basically sits in the front row and nods off during almost every lecture.

Today, the professor asked if his review session was useful and we all agreed… and then noticed that a girl sitting directly in front of him was completely passed out. AMAZING!

Sometimes, if the people are sleeping in a particularly funny position, or if I’m feeling particularly bored, I’ll point out the Sleepers to the people who I sit next to. If they see someone napping, they'll give me a heads-up... it's a reciprocity thing. And if people are feeling especially feisty they’ll whip out their camera phone and take pictures and post it in our “Narcolepsy Anonymous” group of fb. So good.
