This is officially the first time I've been on livejournal since arriving in London almost 8 weeks ago. In keeping with my double nature, I feel like I have both been here a moment and a lifetime. This city is my home and I am going to be so heartbroken when I have to leave it. I don't ache for California like I thought I would. There are ( Read more... )

I don't know what it is, whether it's the fact that I haven't had time to read it in the last 10 weeks, whether it's the fact that I really need a good laugh at the moment, or whether it's just a really amazing issue... but I really feel like I forgot how amazingly hilarious Newsweek can be. So hilarious, in fact, that I feel the need to write as ( Read more... )

Wow, if this ends up being the first and only class that I fail in college I'm going to feel like the hugest idiot ever. Of course, it's completely from a lack of effort, and therefore totally and completely my fault, but I can't be so retarded that I can't even partially guess my way to a C. Goodness gracious, seriously, UGH, geezus, he's reading ( Read more... )

A.K.A. complaining... It's 9:13 on a Saturday night and I'm sitting in a coffee shop across from campus because my library closes at 8 (and presumably goes out to a halloween party with the rest of the world). I am here staring at blinking little cursor of mockery slapped in the middle of a blank page. What do I mean, exactly, by blank?? I mean ( Read more... )

I am flooded by the beauty in the stories of men who no longer breathe from their mouths, but will always have a strong set of lungs residing in the frail pages of paper bound books. I am overwhelmed every waking ( Read more... )

I feel like life is, all at once, moving too fast and too slow.  I leave for London January 11th, which seems not unlike life, altogether too far and too close.  I want it to come so bad, but I have a whole semester to wait for it, a whole semester that I'm excited about, but want so badly to be over so that I can leave.  I want to leave so bad, ( Read more... )

I've gained a rediculous amount of girth in the last month... it's really disappointing considering how far I came from the contest, I think I've let summer get to my eating habits ( Read more... )

There's a quote in Newsweek from a mother who turned the Disney Channel on for her 5 year old and got a nice little clip of hard-core porn instead... gotta love Disney. 

I'm obsessed with freepeople.com... but I love it (hence the obsession)

Man, I love it when my dad tells me that I don't have to come in to work in the morning. Sleeping in is nice, and I didn't get to sleep in at all over spring break, yeay!
