So my sister just graduated from high school and per tradition my obnoxious wonderful family took the opportunity to assemble en masse at my parent's house and cheer obnoxiously with commendable enthusiasm at my sister's fancy-pants private school. Somewhere in between helping my mom make dinner for 23 people (and we come from the Midwest so you ( Read more... )

1) I've been sort of writing again, working on a couple of things. It's so tricky though because what I always want to write is something that captures an emotion (so there are a lot of angst-ridden poems that will never see the light of day) but stories need more than a few feelings and writing the boring bits is so tedious. Also I'm very bad at ( Read more... )

When I was having lunch with some friends today a weird thing happened. There was a girl sitting a few feet away from us, with her friend, reading aloud what was very obviously an account of rape. Which was, in itself, a pretty socially awkward thing to talk about in a crowded dining hall. And then afterwards she was talking about how she wouldn't ( Read more... )

The first thing I ever wanted to be, after an astronaut and the president, was a national park ranger. Basically the best job ever. For those of you who aren't from the US, the federal government has set aside lots of areas of land with a total area larger than all of Great Britain (holy shit). Generally speaking you've got your historical-type ( Read more... )

WHY IS IT ONLY MONDAY??? UGH. So I spent 10 hours in the library working on a clusterfuck group project yesterday, pretty much from noon to 1 am with a break for dinner. And then we were supposed to meet at 10 this morning to go over it before we presented it at 10:30. Guess who missed their alarm and woke up at 10:05. And then when I ran in with ( Read more... )

So the 100 things meme. I'm at a place right now where I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with the rest of my life so these 100 things are going to be sort of a wish list/bucket list of things I kind of think would be awesome to in the next (hopefully) 50 or so years. Or possibly in another lifetime.

I love architecture. It's basically my ( Read more... )

Can we just all meditate on what a ridiculous crazy adorable person Andrew Garfield is?

UGH. Yes your keister is fit as a fiddle. Why do you talk/dance like an old man? Not clear, please carry on.

Blerg this weekend has been so weird.

Things:

• Reactivated my facebook account after a six month hiatus. Ugh I forgot how much I hate it. And some of the people I'm friends with. 
• Drunkenly made out with a girl for the first time. COLLEGE. Do not remember her name though. Possibly for the best. (panera maybe? probably not)
• Completely failed to see the ( Read more... )

I have legitimately bizarre dreams and a pathological need to tell people about them. As a younger child I had recurring dreams about people with giant kitten-heads eating me. A couple weeks ago I had an EXTREMELY FUCKING CREEPY dream about a changeling that ate its mother's heart. Last night was no exception. This girl I hate was staging a coup ( Read more... )
