stars when you shine, you know how i feel
THINGS WHICH ARE AWESOME
→ I had my meeting with Donaho yesterday.
I know I keep going on about this but I am so excited (FILTER. I WILL PROB MAKE A FILTER WHEN THIS STARTS). And we have such good rapport. He was filling out my forms and we got to just talk and joke while he was doing it and it's all so smart. It's just so refreshing to be around someone that smart. So much so that when I got home yesterday I literally wanted to cry because my family so pales in intellectual comparison and the way in which they carry themselves. And he's not just teaching me, he's making an attempt to actually know me, which I always respect. I made a joke about birthdays and he asked how old I was going to be (I told him I was going to be 21 and he told me I should go downtown if I didn't have any plans yet, and he recced and mapped out a bunch of places with great wine lists and music). He asked if I was raised religious (I told him yes but that now I was quite atheistic - "Oooh, not just atheistic, QUITE atheistic". He's not religious either. He was from ages 10-12, he said. lmao . How much do I love that HE brought this up?) why I stopped dancing (I told him all about dance and then how I was going to teach but quit because of artistic differences with my boss), what I wanted to do with my life (I talked about how much I loved editing, film, photography but that I'm undecided because I am too afraid of locking myself into the wrong life, he was very understanding and supportive, "that doesn't sound undecided to me at all" ♥), where I was going from here (I said, "I don't know", he said, "NYU" immediately), why I didn't like my Anthropology teacher (I told him he underestimates my intelligence).
We talked about, lmao, water, and water poisoning, and people who are allergic to water. We talked about hangovers and made puns about oysters and deadened nerves, we laughed at a logic joke and pondered over the differences between cross-stitching and embroidery. He asked me if I knew how to do those things. We accidentally dropped minor curse words and he said the reason I didn't have many nuns in school was because they're all dead LMAO LMAO. He told me about how lately he's been looking into some Russian religion, and he told me about the ceremonies, which sound so incredibly beautiful and artistic, and then told me about his love of Russian culture. He told me about a ballerina in his building, and I talked about how I so much miss being on stage. He had books piled up to the ceiling and I asked if he actually has read them all. He said this isn't even his full library, his real library is at home. "It's not like I come HERE to do logic and philosophy," and then said something about how it was a boring or ugly environment or something. I loved the smell of his office. I don't know what it was, I think it was all of those books. HE HAD POPTARTS ON HIS DESK (NOT FUCKING KIDDING), and all of these random little notes pinned up on the wall, logic and theories and premises on ripped up scraps of paper in his all-caps handwriting, stuck up with little round pins. "I think this is going to be a really fun project, Alyssa," he said with a smile as I left.

As if you didn't see this coming. Right. I joked to the comm that I walked away from that performance more satisfied than I've been after some of my actual sexual encounters. Except it wasn't a joke.
→ You wanna kiss me, don't you?
I made a video blog after House buttttt I saved it in iMovie as an m4v (MOST USELESS FILE TYPE EVER, APPARENTLY. WHY DOES IT EVEN EXIST.) and no matter what I do, I can't convert it and Final Cut won't take it and neither will photobucket and neither will Zamzar. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to combat this problem? :( Until then, you can have this instead. Way less fun but... all for you Mulder, I do it all for you!
i always want to kiss you, flist! ♥
LOL I was randomly texting dialogue to people yesterday and everyone hit me back with the next line. EXCEPT POOR CARLEE WHO HAS NOT SEEN IT YET!!! :( :( !
→ OH AND YOU GUYS LOL SDLJKFJAKLS. Remember how I was all freaked out because I've only done ONE Anthropology paper and then she was all, "I've talked to people I was worried about but if you feel like you've been missing stuff, you can come talk to me" and I totally didn't talk to her on the off chance that she hasn't noticed I'm missing literally everything? LOL YESTERDAY, SHE GOES, "OH SO I PUT EVERYONE'S GRADES UP." LOLLL 85/100 IN THE PARTICIPATION/PAPER SECTION. FUCK. YES. I HAVE NOT DONE A THING. But I do go to class, and I do sit in front, and I do act like I'm paying attention and ask a question once in awhile. Her and I just get along really well so I think she let it slide. I LOVE MY LIFE. and that is such a load off my back. Last week of classes next week! ♥
