As Mary and Chris make documenting one’s life seem increasingly glamorous, I have no choice but to take up blogging again. I realize the serious commitment I am making in embarking on this blog quest (update more than once a month or face the wrath of disappointed commenters), but I resolve to the three or so people that will end up reading my ( Read more... )

In the time it took me to accumulate four pokes on facebook, I designed my first layout ever for livejournal. Even though making layouts means that I've descended into the realm of People Who Take Their Livejournals Too Seriously, you should check it out. It reminds me of a fusion of Paris and California. And my user icon is a fractal, because ( Read more... )

"i check my answering machine nine times every day and i can't sleep at night because i feel that there is so much to do and fix and change in the world and i wonder every day if i am making a difference and if i will ever express the greatness within me or if i will remain forever paralyzed by muddled madness inside my head. i've wept on every ( Read more... )

After playing Mafia, I tend to get suspicious about everything. Coming back to my room tonight after playing for four hours (yeah, we're hot like that), I checked my e-mail and there was this message about someone losing their keys.

So three tournaments later, here is my conclusion: I am in love with ultimate (among other things). I missed the first day of the tournament because our team desperately needed people today and because I ( Read more... )

I was distracted by manning the top of the slide, but he came over and started a conversation with me. The topic turned to college as it invariably does the summer after senior year. I told him that I was really excited about going to ( Read more... )

You should know that I am hardcore. As in I have a hard core. As in you probably shouldn't ask questions ( Read more... )

So I woke up at 9:30 this morning to go to math section for the second time all quarter. I went to section on the first day and it was interminable, so I figured, "This is 10:00 in the morning. This is math help. I'm not going anymore." However, after getting the score online from my second midterm, I decided that maybe I couldn't afford to be ( Read more... )

My nose is peeling a little bit from the sunburn I got over the weekend. I got a free t-shirt yesterday for jumping in a fountain in the middle of the day and showing up to my IHUM class soaking wet. The tree outside my window has the most beautiful golden leaves right now that will probably be gone by the time I get back from Thanksgiving break ( Read more... )
