Notable Quotable:  I present you with this week's reigning *facepalm* quote from my Composition class this afternoon.

When the professor told us to take turns introducing ourselves to the class, asking us to include a mention of what kind of relationship we have with reading and writing, there was one student who said the following:

"I'm a journalism ( Read more... )

I started writing this about five hours ago, but I'm posting it anyway:

Some twenty-something fake-n-bake girl who is apparently staying in my upstairs neighbor's apartment decided that it would be great to blast her music so loud that not only is the bass reverberating throughout my entire apartment, but if I stand in my kitchen, I can make out ( Read more... )

It's April 18th, and it's 44 degrees outside  (that's 7 degrees Celsius).  And I have a cold, complete with chills and that nasty whole-body-ache feeling.  And my nose/sinuses hate me, because the right side of my nose won't stay decongested for more than maybe 20 minutes, and the left side keeps running, and the left side of my throat is that ( Read more... )

Reason #37273572737615322.6 Why I Adore Taylor Hanson:

From People.com:

What Song Would You Sing on Idol?
Taylor Hanson: A Michael Jackson song, something like "She's Out of My Life." It's an emotional song and obviously Michael Jackson is unbelievable, and very few people do that. I would probably get completely destroyed for it. Which would ( Read more... )

2.  AHHHHH PRESENT WRAPPING

3.  WHY MUST MY UPSTAIRS NEIGHBOR INSIST ON PUTTING HER YAPPY DOG IN THE MAIN BATHROOM WHENEVER ( Read more... )

Education, what?:  The most depressing thing I read today was a headline from this past Friday's Chicago Tribune.  Of 100 Chicago Public School Freshman, Six Will Get A College Degree.  I mean, fucking hell.  That's disgraceful.  The saddest part is, that doesn't surprise me.  The Chicago public school system has never rated very highly.  But still ( Read more... )

Waiting alone in the darkness
Racing for someone
Hoping they stay
Watching the days
Watch as they fade
Leaving you nothing
Waiting to wake

Lost in disarray
Waves that never break

Truth be told, I've had a draft of this entry sitting in a folder on my computer now for several days.  I started it, but then didn't post it, because I was afraid I'd annoy people.  Which is the most idiotic thing, ever.  I talked with Lisa about it and felt like I had gotten most of it out of my system on Friday, and it seemed like I had, but ( Read more... )
