i'm beginning to get used to finding myself in the computer lab at whatever o'clock in the morning.
what is the deal with "o'clock"? was that previously "on the clock", "of the clock", "over the clock"?
i feel good even though i have about five bajillion things due this week.
i wrote some letters today
i feel good about relationships and love
derrick and i got to spend time together today that didn't involve reading or talking about politics (not that there's anything wrong with those two things). i have these tiny little blank cards that are probably no bigger than two and half inches big. i wrote derrick a letter on one of them that included the 536th reason why i wanted to marry him...and i put it in his wallet last night.
we got ice cream today and petted other people's dogs. i want a dog and a child so badly. why can't i fast forward?
but then of course, i'm slightly terrified of actually leaving the four year realm and entering into the intense two year one.
what is that? everything in four or two year increments?
that's why writing letters and having cute stationary is so damn important. friends, and great exboyfriends like peter, and really old elementary school friends like laina and shandra, and new friends that you meet at the coffeeshop don't come in those kinds of increments. and that's what grounds me.
i also spent about three hours doing SPANK related things, and a nice calm came over me.
i know longer have time for young liberal wannabes that talk out of their ass about wanting to take action, and it's all good. there's a place for everybody in this world, and we need those types of people too, right? if no one nominates anyone for the executive positions for next year..that's fine too.
i've done it by myself before and i'm prepared to do it again...and now i'm really okay with that.
i'm doing what i can and that's what matters.
::sigh::
john mayer and i have a special relationship. tell me why i've listened to his cd on repeat the whole time i've been sitting in this computer lab, and i'm not sick of it. that's so freaking weird.
i just added shandra, my friend since kindergarten and growing up in NJ, on my facebook friends list. she goes to northeastern, we're both leaders in our campus communities, RA's, violin players (we joined orchestra together in 3rd grade) and politically involved. However, she turned out to be a proud neo-con and here i am miss "very liberal". ::sigh::
there's an article about a young lady who is suing ga-tech because she thinks it's policy is anti-conservative. anyway, she was prevented from protesting a Vagina Monologues performance and is anti-feminist lol.
Whew...I posted the article as a discussion topic and then replied to it talking about how absolutely crazy female neo-cons are because the republican party does not care about them (never has and never will) and a lot of things the party stands for happen to be against minorities such as FEMALES. I said something along the lines of "Helloooooo confused and misguided Anne Coulters of the world!".
And then, I looked at Shandra's profile and she had her favorites listed...conservative, god, the bible, good music, clubs and organizations etc, etc. Favorite quotes: "you're like an old white man in a black woman's body, said by a liberal of course!"
AGHHHHHHH!
What black woman would be proud of that!?!?!? What is the world coming to?
I mean, she's young, gifted and black, as the old song goes. Yet, rooting for the wrong team. Okay, so I'll admit that was a little depressing, but I have hope for her. I feel like she'll figure it out. All I can do is love her, right? :)
wow.
Keep the faith,
Evi D.
spank,
chill,
shandra
