Over The Edge Page 14 Sports And Clubs September Ee 1999 Kornered On Kampus by DanaSchwehr So here we are. | was thinking one day that this article is one of the neatest ways to meet people that I’ve ever used. Well, okay, it’s one of the least embarrass- ing methods I’ve used, but we really don’t want to know about the multi- tude of silly things I’ve done in my life, do we? So, that started a train of thought that led to this week’s question: What is the most outra- geous, weird, or funny thing you have ever done to get someone’s attention. You know, to build up your confi- dence enough so you can go talk to them. Or interest them enough to come over and talk to you. Because | know that meeting new peo- ple can be scary, with that whole “first impres- sions” thing and all. It’s so much easier if some- one else has to make the first move and risk making a_ fool of him/herself, and then you have no worries. But, there is always the problem of making the other person interested enough so that he/she will risk it. So, here is what some of our more daring students said. (Most of them had no answers for me...so | was the one looking dumb, not all those peo- ple that | asked) So, what is the most outrageous, weird, or funny thing you have ever done to get someone’s attention? “Oh, I’ve done lots of weird things. Uh, | think actually | have lied to the girl and, uh said that | was like, interested in some sort of things that | really wasn’t, you know to get her atten- tion.” Tobias, Commerce 4th year “The weirdest thing ve ever done was probably shoot them full in the face in Paintball.’ Steve 3rd year Psychology “| started singing a song. And giggled really loud. And flashed a big smile” Anna 4th year International Studies ook at me, I’m 6’7”. People just notice me, right?” Jason 4th year Computer Science Got a good question for our Kornered On Kampus? ;Bring_it by the Over The Edge office in the Wintergarden! “Uh...1 just follow them around and then, like, go up and talk to them, right out of the blue, when they’re walk- ing down the street.” . Greg, Resident Troublemaker (I didn’t know he wasn’t a stu- dent until AFTER | took his picture) “Barking.” Aubrey Rec 4th year uNBC oe Prepared By Crystal Ball, Pho. Aries (March 21-April 19) Your ambition has waned as your sign is one of extremes. After the first ‘}week of highlighting and alphabetiz- ing you have given it all up as point- less. I’m proud of you. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Your sign has moved from the area of finance to the area of academics, now that your student loan has come in and you have bought your books. | still maintain that “Who needs to read anyway?” Gemini (May 21-June 20) You finally did make your move with the cutie on the bus, and things were looking promising until he came to his stop, and now you don’t ever seem to see him on your bus anymore. Cancer (June 21-July 22) You and your roommates drew straws to find out who had to deal with the pile of laundry in the base- ment, but your roommate said you cheated and you can’t resolve the problem. | suggest you do something quick, because you know it’s only going to get worse. Leo (July 23-Aug 22) Your sign shows you have been lacking ambition ever since it waned last edition, but you might want to work against that force, because even though you got your student loan this time doesn’t mean it will come again next time. Virgo (Aug 23-Sept 22) You have discovered the source of the knocking sound in your car. Remember that time that you went to the drive in and your friend Mike hid in the trunk in order to save money... well you forgot to let him out after- wards and he’s been living on the goodies for the movie that you forgot in the trunk with him. Libra (Sept 23-Oct 22) Your absentmindedness has waned and you are looking for you planner, but to no avail. You might want to look under the bed, you probably won't find you planner, but you really should put those dishes you’ve shoved there in the dish washer. Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21) Since the recent snowfall, there have been fewer bugs to squish with your books and you have decided to crack them open and smell that new book smell. Unfortunately, you have been using them to keep the door to the bathroom open and the new book smell has been replaced. Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21) | told you to avoid caffeine last time, and now that you kicked that peppy person in your 8:30 class how are you going to ask her for help with the homework? Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 19) This is a good day to seize the opportunity to pursue one of those good ideas the voices in your head have provided, especially if one of the ideas involves going to class or studying. Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18) What are you doing? Homework? Why aren’t you reading the paper? Better yet, why aren’t you helping with the paper? Don’t give me those excuses | know that you really want to. Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20) Your academic goals for this week are high, but your computer's ambitions are quite low. In fact your computer is probably going to decide to just quit part way through the week, only to revive itself after you have had to use the computers in the labs to finish your report.
