I can be incredibly happy without seeing a single soul but my dad and my dog. Said dad thinks this is weird, anti-career behavior that suggests the loss of fundamental social mechanisms, but in an indulgent, look-at-my-daughter-the-sociopath way. (He also thinks I am the only twenty-something that listens - frequently and fondly - to classic rock. ( Read more... )

Thanks, Ryo. :) Trying to enjoy it, while it lasts. I think it's gonna be the last for a while. And what do you study? Jeez, NYC. @_@ I visited once, and wasn't quite swept away (I'm a country bumpkin trying real hard not to be) but I was so impressed by the ... immensity, of it all. Particularly Central Park.

I'm Dallas. I live in the good old U-S-of-A. I over-abuse italics a lot (I'm all about inflection points; I'm a theater kid at heart).

25-year-old non-curmudgeon, who is perpetually looking (whether I want to or not) for that annoying thing called love, and am a friend of tennis and books.

I, too, ask myself questions which I quickly answer. Sometimes it gives me an outer perspective that is needed, and other times, it just makes me feel smarter because, hey, I got an answer right!

Glad to find another italics-fiend. There's an author I adore (there we go again), Helen DeWitt, and in her books anyone who uses italics more than, like, twice sounds immediately insincere and has kind of a villain's pall cast over them. Seeing other lovely people using them is reassuring to me, if only because I worry that I'm the dilettante butt of most of DeWitt's jokes. [ / how I love that woman] Any friend of books is a friend of mine! Tennis, er, I am acquainted with, but I'm truly terrible at it. And most other sports, unfortunately, not because I ain't got the goods -- more like a dire absence of practice. Non-curmudgeon's always seem to be in short supply; glad to see one around! :D
