I kind of marvelled that I'd been spending that much time with people who didn't read or didn't want to talk about books.

Files this away for examining in great detail later tonight. *is sad*

*loves*

I wish I'd been more with it when I was 20 and knew to follow my instincts.

You were twenty. Cut yourself some slack.

Well, I am not beating myself up about it but I still think I could have been smarter. :)

Dude, I did a LOT stupider things than that when I was 20 and older!

ari_o July 2 2006, 00:51:12 UTC

Yeah, me too. But I wasn't confronted by all those other things last night is all I was trying to say. :)

If we knew all that we know now back then...we'd have been weird.

At least you didn't get old and fat and stay bitter!

ari_o July 1 2006, 22:22:48 UTC

No, if anything I grew extremely silly.

piperki July 1 2006, 23:48:30 UTC

Your silliness is so lovable. *squash*

If I had known you then, I wouldn't have been cool enough for you to talk to! But if you had, I would have talked about books.

ari_o July 2 2006, 00:52:16 UTC

WHAT? I was happy to talk to anyone. People were sometimes weirded out by my appearance but I was not all about only talking to people who looked a certain way ever. :(

You went to St. John's? Awesome! I got in, but couldn't afford it...
And, um, hi! I was wondering if you'd mind if I added you to my flist? I enjoy your writing, and am over 18...

I did attend St. John's College in Santa Fe, NM. Graduated in 1997 and still owe quite a lot for it. It was worth it in my opinion. I paid for it all myself, mostly in loans. But if my uncle had not come to my rescue the year after I graduated I would have had to do something terrible like declare bankruptcy. EEK! So I understand about the money.

Sure, you can friend me. I post mostly at imaginarycircus these days. ari_o" was my old journal and I still occasionally post in it though not very often. But now I am done with grad school perhpas that will change?
