First Week

So, Blanche and I finally moved our asses up to KU to attend university here. Gotta say, it's a little weird living in a dorm room. I dunno how Blanche managed to get into those nice-ass apartments, but my dorm is closer to the campus side of campus so it's a fair trade. Apparently her wall leaks when it rains, so I guess having my own room wouldn't be worth the trade. Whatever.

Anyway, so she and I have been pretty busy. Dev has called me pretty much every day. Now that we are both so inclined, the Marble Hornets thingy will probably go up sometime tomorrow-ish. Don't hold me to that, it all depends on Blanche.

Also, if it would stop raining soon, that would be great. I really hate the rain.

Gallery/Google +

Blanche and Dev have been nagging me to do this for a while. I doodle random crap during my spare time that's not eaten up by those two. They want me to post the doodles on the internet for the world to see. Personally I don't see why I should, but if it'll get them off my back.

It's pretty empty right now, but it'll fill up with time.

Provided I don't "forget" about it entirely.

Edit: Dev invited me to check out that Google + thing, so if anyone's got one of those they should add me, because right now all I've got is Dev and Blanche. I guess it would be a good way to keep track of me.

In bad taste

You know how I'm a jackass and do jackass things? You know how Dev sometimes tags along for the ride? Well, I think Dev is trying to pull a fast one on me. She's been doing a lot of research on that Slenderman guy. You know, so we could use it to troll the shit outta Blanche sometime down the road.

Anyway, she's just been acting a little odd ever since the watering can incident. No, she hasn't been drawing fucked up things and writing "Sees me" all over the place. How is that supposed to work anyway? He doesn't have eyes. How can he see anything? She's just been... I dunno. Distant somehow. Maybe that last joke went too far.

Well internet! Any ideas on how I can smooth this over with her? Most of my followers are girls and Blanche so I figure you guys would know better than I do.

Update

Alright, a quick update. The reason neither I, nor our lovely Blanche have been posting is because she and her grandmother got admitted to the hospital Wednesday night. They were driving, well put-putting around at grandma speeds, along to the pharmacy, when out of nowhere some asshole plows straight into their car. Blanche got of fairly light. Her nose and arm are broken, but the doctors say she's gonna be fine, if a little swollen.

Her grandma wasn't so lucky. She really scared us for a while, but she's awake now and ready to go back to her exciting life as a senior. The doctors want to keep her grandma for another day of observation, and Blanche hasn't really felt up to much of anything.

Not sure what happened to the driver.

Anyway, she'll probably be back to her usual annoying self once the hospital lets her grandma go home. Until then, I'll try and keep you all entertained on my own. The show must go on, right?

And thus my Jackass-ness rears it's ugly head.

You know how Blanche is absolutely terrified of Masky? You know how she threatened me with revenge crabs if I used that against her? Well, I'm reasonably sure she won't actually give me revenge crabs, so I decided to use that fear against her.

Her parents decided to go to Kentucky for the week, her cousin is getting married you see. So, she's been left alone with the cats to make sure the house doesn't fall apart when they're gone. Which is why I've been babysitting her the past few nights. So, I knew she was totally alone. Dev and I thought it would be fun to get ourselves some of those masks. They were pretty easy to make, actually. We dressed up in similar hoodies, staked out her house. I stood in front of her front door, and Dev took the sliding door in the back. We just stood there. It took about an hour before she decided to go out to water her mom's flowers, and thus noticed Dev with her mask all but pressed against the glass.

So, I got this part of the story after the fact, so I'm not sure how factual it is. Apparently Blanche just froze, having a locked glass door between her and Dev. Apparently after a moment of them staring at each other, Blanche started cursing Dev out, thinking she was probably me. Meanwhile, I unlocked the front door, and walked up behind her quietly as I could. At this point, Dev wandered out of sight, probably to come in the way I did so we could reveal the joke.

There was something we failed to take into account. Blanche has an interesting fight or flight response. 99.9% of the time she goes straight into flight mode. But sometimes, when the planets are aligned just right, and she happens to have a full watering can in her hands, she goes and turns into Kratos.

You know, that little plastic watering can didn't seem like much. What I failed to take into account was that thing holds nearly a quart of water. A quart of water doesn't sound like it would be too dangerous, until it collides with the side of your head with the ferocity of a paranoid and very angry young woman who just hulked the fuck out. Seriously. I'm pretty sure she would have kept beating me with that thing if she didn't knock my mask off when she hit me.

Anyway, the concussion that I'm reasonably sure I have factors into why I'm pretty sure she won't actually revenge crab me. And she made me clean up the water she spilled while trying to dent my skull. What's really unfair? Dev gets off with a verbal warning.

Blanche does ballet?

Alright, well, Blanche apparently can't sleep. So instead of drinking some warm milk like a normal person, she's prancing around like a little ballerina. By the way, her form is terrible. She should be ashamed of herself. Sometimes I wonder why I'm friends with her, and then I say shit like that.

Stay away from Blanche guys, she's an alien who will eat your brain and replace it with... whatever she has. I'm not too clear on the anatomy of whatever alien race she is.

While I'm on the subject of Blanche, I wanted to clarify something. Yes I frequently spend the night at her place. No, we aren't going out. I just want to make sure we're all clear on this point. Since elementary school everyone's been convinced that she's my girlfriend. She's not. I happen to have a very lovely girlfriend already. Her name is Devon, and she's the prettiest girl out there. Besides I've known Blanche long enough that it might count as some form of incest if we started dating. So, if you thought that, now you know differently. And if you didn't already think that, don't start.

Fine

Alright, after Blanche's relentless nagging I've finally decided to accept her gift of this blog, and give her's back to her. Of course, as of right now she's my only follower, and knows this already. So... I guess an introductory post is entirely pointless.

Except for Blanche is making me. Something about her blogging about that time in the second grade which she promised never to bring up again. Blanche is a cold-hearted shrew, and we should all avoid her like the plague.

Right well, I'm Ben. No, I didn't drown. No I don't haunt any videogames at all. Stop asking. While I'm on the subject, I do not fly kites in thunder storms. I'm a terrible golfer, soccer as well. I'm not an actor, or a journalist or an author of any kind. Unless blogging counts, in which case I'm kind of an author now. I do not age backwards. Oh! I'm an only child, so it's unlikely that I'll turn out to be anybody's uncle.  Pretty sure I covered them all. Beat that Quetzal.

I used to play lacrosse back in high school, but since I graduated I stopped. I'm transferring to KU along with Blanche come fall as a Philosophy Major. I don't know what I want to be when I grow up, but I think that's besides the point.
