Yesterday was Earth Day and I hope everyone celebrated it by planting trees and drinking stream water. My big Earth Day contribution was taking aluminum cans to the recycling center. Obviously I've had better Earth Days. Today and last week I also cleared a ton of brush and invasive plants from Janet's backyard. No more Mustard Seed, no more ( Read more... )

So my dad is the "captain" of the Tarzana neighborhood watch and he just got a call from a crazy old lady named Ann who thought there was a "suspicious" car in front of her neighbors house. How and why she thought it was suspicious? Anyones guess. When you're 84 years old I imagine you think everything is pretty suspicious. So my dad sends me down ( Read more... )

This is in honor of an unnamed source, who will be attending Columbia in the fall, who told me that the reason people hate me is because I don't update LJ anymore ( Read more... )

After 4+ years I've finally let loose. These past two quarters I have been so incredibly laid back and free of worries it almost scares me. I no longer feel stress for classes or work or anything really. I've stopped making the effort to hang out with people who I don't really like and haven't really minded seeing them go. I have no worries and it' ( Read more... )

My dad just told me this story. So apparently the kids from Taft HS come up to the cul de sac in front of our house and smoke pot. The neighborhood watch had a meeting about these "horrible" people and how to deal with them. At this meeting Ann, who is a 75ish year old woman, stood up and said "I've been spying on these people from my house. They' ( Read more... )

Never *ever* say the word "dominatrix" at a lesbian dinner party. For some reason they don't like that and will rip out your soul because of it ( Read more... )

...I go to a better school than MIT, Brown, Berkeley and most definitely Wesleyan.

Suckers!

Even with all it's sprawl, congestion, and weirdo's, I really do enjoy Los Angeles. Although I doubt I could ever live in that town full time, I do enjoy hitting it up for a dew days at a time. There's just so much stuff you can do in L.A. that you can't do most places, like hitting up clubs until two in the morning and then going to Jerry's for a ( Read more... )

I just heard some interesting news today. Some very interesting news. Cristin, the girl who was by better half while we were in New Zealand, is engaged to be married. Why is everyone getting married I ask? This makes 5 couples I am good friend with being bed before their 23rd birthdays. This one is especially troubling to me though for obvious ( Read more... )

In the newspaper, when you read about someone who is 23, you think to yourself "that person is young." But being 23 I feel kinda old to me. I think it's because at 23 I really haven't done all that much. I went to New Zealand and worked in Kings Canyon, that's about it. I haven't done anything to really change many people or change the world. But ( Read more... )
