Today was full of ups and downs in a bizarre way. There was literally a shadow behind almost every good thing that happened today for me. For instance, it was beautiful outside-sunny and clear but it was too cold for me. I finished my glider before I left for my grandma's house today but when I got home and tested it, it did a sky somesault, bombed ( Read more... )

So...

It looks like everyone has the Itch. The Itch for summer that is. Let me just say, AMEN. School bites. I want summer. But I don't exactly have the Itch yet. For me, the Itch doesn't come until after mid-may. Until then, I'm too busy procrastinating, dreading, panicking, and failing my calc project-in that exact order.

Right now, I'm at ( Read more... )

 "Matt" [10:30 PM]:  im gonna sit down with some construction paper and glue and scissors tomorrow
"Matt" [10:30 PM]:  and make you the most
"Matt" [10:30 PM]:  heartfelt, loving, hideous card ever
"Matt" [10:30 PM]:  :D

It was a joy without real reason-the kind one reads about in Reader's Digest or old person message boards online. Small pleasures or ( Read more... )

As Joni Mitchell said:

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say I love you right out loud.
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way.

But now old friends are acting strange,
They shake their heads, they say I've changed.
Well something's lost but something's gained 
In living everyday.

Amen Sister.

However, tomorrow, while I will gain ( Read more... )

I always used to think that Ohio was the South Dakota of the midwest-the state everyone forgets about. And I realize that it probably still is, but I also realize that we are a proud, proud state. Granted, we're no Texas or California, but still Ohio has its following...

But maybe I'm wrong and it's just Ohio State fans. Those are some spirited ( Read more... )

This whole coughing thing is getting obnoxious...

I hate being sick-ish.

"The reason why we all think so well of others is that we are all afraid of ourselves. The basis of optimism is sheer terror."

"Music makes one feel so romantic-at least it always gets on one's nerves-which is the same thing nowadays."

"It is absurd to divide people into good or bad. People are either charming or tedious."

"America is the only country ( Read more... )

I miss home. I think it's because yesterday I became disgustingly ill and didn't have my bed to sleep in or my mommy to take care of me or even my calculus homework to ignore. Today I felt much much better but I'm still tired from being sick and being unsettled. I've gone on way too many college visits and it's making me feel like a nomad. I think ( Read more... )

There is a bizarro Joey Pascarella here. Super bizarro. It's surreal...So my mission this weekend has changed from getting super wasted, spinning around in the middle of campus, and finding my way back to my dorm before midnight when they lock the dorms up and without falling down or vomitting...

(Ha. Just kidding...*wink*)

...to getting a picture of ( Read more... )

On the plus side, I didn't die in a plane crash on the way to ND. Also on the plus side, they gave me a flag and a t-shirt. AND, plenty of people from AAS are here so I have companionship. AND I'm connected to ND internet (duh).

On the down side, I'm getting sick and coughing like I'm a smoker.

In other news, I'm currently in my host's dorm room with ( Read more... )
