Tonight, Kari's mother called and asked to us to help Melanie (Kari's nine year old sister) with her homework assignment. She was supposed to look up Sir Francis Drake on the internet and answer questions about his birth, death and greatest accomplishments. I found the information, and as Kari read it over the phone, her mother discovered that ( Read more... )

So, in case you were wondering, Sufjan Stevens is the most incredible performer I have ever seen. I was moved to tears, literally and repeatedly. He is by far my favorite musician right now. Start listening to him instantly.

Also, in case you were wondering, Fordham boys are officially the creepiest group of men on earth. I wash my hands of them

He kissed me last night. I only did it to prove to myself I could, that I would.

Last night, I met the boys who lived in my room last year and they told me they had kept a key to the room. This morning, we woke up to find a duct tape obstacle course and various signs throughout our room, including the words "IOU- Ira" added to my column of the 4B Kiss List. Two of the boys (Ira included) stopped by this evening to see how we ( Read more... )

I spent the afternoon memorizing the skyline from under a tree with the most beautiful music I could compile to accompany me, and I fell in love. I fell so deeply in love with the fragments of my being which have been scattered throughout the east coast, with all my history back home, with my one friend at school. I fell so deeply in love with that ( Read more... )
