none. really, there is no subject.
killing time until Tea class. goddamn awkward chunks of time - sure a space of 10 or 25 minutes seems like an innocuous break, but really it's an iniquitous ploy to eat away my life bit by bit. chomp chomp.
in other news - or any news, since the previous paragraph wasn't news in the least - this weekend my oldest friend in the entire world is coming to stay with me. that's right, folks - ains will be here! i can't wrap my mind around the fact that she might transfer here next year. iowa and school are completely separate worlds. there are (as far as i know) only 2 other people here from iowa, neither of whom i knew before last fall. who would've imagined that ains will potentially bridge the iowa-oregon gap? exactly 11 years ago, when she and i met, in our debut theatre performances, as the two girl munchkins in a production of the Wizard of Oz, had the world any clue that we would end up crossing paths so many times, and eventually going to school together? do you ever wonder about the odds of things? ok, so at each point in time there exists an infinity of possibilities in every direction - or maybe that's only for the beginning of time, but follow me here - so what if you just consider one line of events, and calculate the probability of the permutations of all the steps falling together in order for that one line of events to produce the outcome that is present in our reality? hmm, kinda reminds me of the possible world in Einstein's Dreams where each opportunity to make a choice creates a divergence of reality into three new worlds, each representing a different path taken, and each of these three new worlds in turn produces new branches. i've always wondered why there are only three possibile branches - there are obviously more than three possible scenarios to each choice.
i think i got off topic... ah, yes - ains! she will come, we will be merry, all will be well.
by the way, one of my greatest pet peeves in the entire world (besides the phrase "pet peeve") is leaving a place that serves food and realizing the food-stench has permeated your clothing - and then you get to walk around the rest of the day smelling like chinese, or mexican, or... bon food. ugh.
besides bragging to the world that ains will be here, i'm sure i had another reason for sharing my sentiments with the world wide web, but at the moment my mind is blank. (this is a lie. my mind is in fact not blank, it is perhaps too fuzzy and chaotic, thus i cannot remember why i wanted to write in the first place).
on a side note, the album i'm listening to has a title too long to fit in the spot where i am encouraged to inform you what music has been inspiring me as i write - so i will tell you here. i am listening to olivia tremor control's "music from the unrealized film script, dusk at cubist castle." so there. class time!
