Sometimes there are just things that I want to say for somebody to hear, but I'm so aware of how much the impact of words on the internet has changed over the years that I'm afraid. I want all of my friends to hear my thoughts, but I also don't want them to think I'm needy or speculate over what is going on in my life. I don't want them to know ( Read more... )

First things first. I had the saddest dream last night that like broke my heart. So like a week ago I discovered that Ty Clive was actually on facebook. I friended him, but he hasn't responded yet. So in my dream, I saw him in like a cafeteria, and I went up and was like, "Ty! I friended you on facebook!" and I was all excited and going to give him ( Read more... )

Hi guys. I looked back at my old journal entries in an effort to privatize entries where I sounded like a complete loser. I had to privatize many many of them, and I'm not even done... But I did come across quite a few hilarious things, which I will one day (when I have a stable working life and some extra reminiscing time) compile and post for my ( Read more... )

Is this part of a plot to sabotage my thesis writing? Why, yes it is... It's funny how time moves so slowly when you actually concentrate, but as soon as you get distracted for a moment, three hours just fly by... DAMN.

Since I was so bad about blogging this year, I can't really do what Melike did (first sentence from each month). But it will be one of my resolutions to do a better job next year. Next year promises to be exciting and new, and hopefully working will give me some more time to my own thoughts. I wish my hard drive hadn't crashed so that I would still ( Read more... )

Here is the whole Pixar story ( Read more... )

Um yeah, I'm watching Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay (uncensored) with my parents - AWKWARD! They are laughing way too hard at the "Osama Bin Laden's beard" thing... Anyway, seems I haven't written all semester, but hopefully I will have more time and more fun things to write about once I start work... AT PIXAR ( Read more... )

So I was really tired like an hour ago. But then I took a shower and sat down under a blanket on my couch to copy over my 18.085 hw. I put on Counting Crows radio on Pandora and, I don't know why Counting Crows does this to me, it put me in a really zen moment. I just felt suddenly very calm about everything, and it's difficult to describe because ( Read more... )

So btw, and addendum to feeling old - You can feel young again by surrounding yourself with old people! That was one good thing about going out on a house outing, I was like the youngest one there. Also, like everyone I hang out with is older than me, and people on the ballroom team are like in their 40s. So that helps. It's only when I'm on campus ( Read more... )

I guess maybe I might do a summary of summer stuff, but for now let's talk about school starting. I'd rather not dwell on the anxiety of upcoming life decisions and things to get done - I wanna keep this an optimistic lj ( Read more... )
