HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LAUREN ( Read more... )

Intelligence is not the be all end all. Going to Stanton and the UofC, there seem to be a number of people I know that genuinely feel that way. Perceiving, understanding, analyzing has become this mechanism that raises us above, lets us judge, make claims, have more insight. Feeling superior to someone because you're clearly more intelligent (at ( Read more... )

I awoke to the methodical beating of the wind against my windows, trying to invade every crevice. So swooping, continuous, coming in wave after wave, and I was reminded how much I miss living at the beach. Each day spent only trying to formulate the most entertaining way to spend my luxuriously plentiful time. Perfection is short lived, at best.

Anti-PSN fest went fabulously well. I really needed it. Normally this weekend in every winter quarter, our house does a PSN celebration where everyone busts out their Playstation, Sega, and Nintendo systems for an entire Saturday. But with a wonderful warm front and the temperature creeping up to 54 degrees, we took out the grill, tons of food, ( Read more... )

Talked to Dad yesterday.
You need to be thinking about your future. What kind of activities are you involved in? Do you want to get into a good graduate school? I interviewed this girl yesterday, and although she seemed interested, she just did not have enough leadership qualities for Yale Law School.

Calculus midterm tomorrow I didn't realize I had until a few hours ago. But instead of studying, I'll update. Saturday ended up being one of the most pleasant days in this short, over-privileged, sweet life. Breakfast in bed. Hours at the dog show downtown. I absolutely adore those furry, loyal, indescribably cute beings. I've made a list of dogs I ( Read more... )

So with this 'promise' issue, I think that love affects people in different ways. For some it may be the very thing that we hope to define our life. All of those things we wish to accomplish--goals, ambitions, travel--are necessarily subservient to the lives we envision with a particular person. For others a deep, permanent love can't even be ( Read more... )

Hour early call from Amanda - silly east coast. Midnight Birthday Breakfast with Scott (after which he vowed that every noun would have 'Birthday' before it and conducted his speech in this absurd, but cute manner for the rest of the day). Woke up at 8 for class at nine. Read between classes for one at 1:30. Came home, opened various cards. ( Read more... )

So, Valentine's Day was fabulous ( Read more... )

Ah, sexile for the first time. It's fine because Alida's boyfriend from Texas and this is the only time he's been able to visit. So have at it boys and girls!
I've already gotten several valentines today, and although I think it's kind of a lame holiday based solely on the devious schema of marketing execs, I'm going to return the favor and go to ( Read more... )
