that was nice to read jake...

happy birthday sir.

(ps i don't like confrontation either.)

[jmaag1989]

thank you twice.
i feel like i should be writing more than i do.
and i don't think anyone really likes confrontations except people who need a lot of attention (not that needing attention is any worse than a thousand other maladies), but they just like it for the thrill, don't they?

how's scholarly living treating you?

maybe for the thrill...maybe some people really are just not fazed by confrontation. being argumentative is second nature.
who knows...

school's super.
that's what i've been telling everyone at least.
some things could be better but i suppose that's true of any situation.
i like it.
but what i'm really excited for is this quarter abroad thing that i'll probably do this spring in madrid.

(:

i wonder so much while i'm here where in the world i could be going...

growing up is a little strange.

in my head confrontation and arguing are different. arguing doesn't matter to me, but confrontation in real. argument can lead to confrontation, but it doesn't always.

haha, i know what you mean. but it's good that you like it. that's cool that you get to go to madrid, do you know spainese?

growing up is strange, indeed. there's a lot to think about, and it's interesting to have to think for yourself, like right now, i'm thinking about trying peppermint in my coffee.
