haha! the rut is behind me! The sun cameth and hauled me therefrom! Its like 65 and beautiful and its hard to feel too sad/depressed/troubled when its the week before spring break and its beautiful and your pre-break exam is out of the way (not hum, but that doesn't count). YAAAAYYY!!!!

AARRRGHHH!!!! It turns out that spring break will not be quite as frisbee-in-the-sun-ariffic as I thought it would. Tom won't be here to smoke/play frisbee with, and I'm going to miss Maggie and be bored for a week. I miss doing drugs, listening to happy goofy music, and hanging out outdoors. I am in a rut. This is the mother of all ruts. I should ( Read more... )

So, for anyone who doesn't know, one of my friends (livejournal and otherwise) is one of the coolest people ever. He proves this in his livejournal, but he hasn't updated it for so long that no one can be sure if he is still cool! Read the ________o manifesto, and if you think he should update the world on his struggle with his inner demons, then ( Read more... )

I'm sorry about the subject, I've been reading Seneca and Lucretius. I feel I need to preface everything with what it will ultimately discuss. I'm having fun on this sunny day in Portland (57 degrees and sunny). Weather.com said it was going to be cloudy, but they're clearly just wrong. I'm chilling in my hum conference room before class starts and ( Read more... )

I just read that the University of Connecticut did a poll of High School students, administrators, and teachers, and that something like 3 in 4 students thought that flag burning was illegal and that 17 percent didn't think that people should be able to express unpopular views. I don't know what the hell is wrong with this country when all the ( Read more... )

Tacitus is so annoying! All he does is complain about the emperors, and then he extolls their virtues to make Nero look bad. I can't stand all this anger! Its making me angry! I'm so glad that we're done with him soon. Hmm...maybe if I had gone to lectures it would make more sense...I don't know ( Read more... )

I'm sitting in a Humanities lecture that Jay Dickson is giving about Ovid's Metamorphoses. I'm talking to Sid Goldstein on AIM, and otherwise distracting myself. Now, I've come across something strange: Sufficientlysid: "the metamorphosis means "the change" right? i think Kafka wrote it too". WOW. Anyway, I shouldn't be so hard on the kid, he knew ( Read more... )

In the form of my friend Leah. She IM's me and tells me to update my livejournal and so, like the good little sheep Cranbrook has trained me to be, I did.

I just flew into Detroit yesterday, and my arms are exhausted...seriously, I brought a snowboard and so many clothes... Anyway, everyone here is more or less the same. Saw david watson from Cranbrook... that was interesting :-) . Peace out...

I finished another paper this past weekend (Dionysus, baby...) and need to sleep more, but I'm happy that I get to go home! I'll miss my friends here (and Maggie painfully so) but I look forward to seeing all the old faces. Hopefully going to go and see all the people I miss (like 5 teachers and 2 kids) at CK and all my relatives, etc. I can't wait ( Read more... )
