First final was completed this morning, and I think it went fairly well, except that I almost didn’t get to take it. Why you may ask? Well, I didn’t read the final notification email that explicitly stated the exam would take place across campus in the Comm building, and not in our regular classroom.

So I ended up being on time for a test that was happening on the other side of campus. Therefore, I guess I really wasn’t on time at all, as I had to do some major hauling to make it to the proper exam locale in any decent amount of time.

Yep, showing up to that empty room this morning made me feel like there was a party in my class and nobody was invited.

And on a relatedly weird note, I had a jump in attendance at my engagement site of about 302 more hits/day than I would normally get. In four months I was barely pushing 300 hits, and then between 5/1/03 and 5/2/03 my counter was saying 800 people had visited.

I noticed my “where should we get hitched” poll had some funny entries as well. The most recent suggestions included, but are not limited to “I have crabs,” “in my pants - azian invasion!”, “Iraq,” “I’d hit it,” “in the champagne room at the crazy horse,” and of course, “don’t do it. she only loves you for your money.”

Following a a link that a kindly guest left in my guestbook, I found the source of the mayhem.

My friend, big toany toan posted my poll link on this geek forum, asking people to vote for va/wva, cause he doesn’t want to fly to the wedding.

The geeks, thinking the “Alaska” option was a joke, went crazy in their attempts to nominate, and actually wrote a script that automatically voted for AK. Now there are 21,000 hits for my frozen homeland, and my page is a “hot topic” at the nerd forum.

I find this to be hilarious - that hordes of computer nerds are so interested in the nuptual activities of little ole me. Just goes to show, the world is one crazy, mixed up place.
