Ha ha, not really. You see, Laura (my room mate) and I took a Rape Defense class yesterday, the first of four. It was really fun, and I feel much safer knowing some ways to protect myself. Anyway, to make a long story short, I think I'm going to join the BU Fight Club so I can learn some martial arts ( Read more... )

This morning my room mate Sara woke me up (as usual) because I wasn't getting up with my alarm. She always saves me so that I'm not late for class. Anyway, she wakes me up and then says "I think there's some sort of animal stuck in our radiator. I've been listening to it for the past twenty minutes ( Read more... )

It's Homecoming Weekend here at BU, and actually I think, all over the country. Sam and I woke up at 7:30 (!!!) to do the "Fun Run" 5K along the Esplanade. There's this huge regatta going on called Head of the Charles, and while we were stretching and getting for the race, etc, we watched the rowing teams warming up. Now, since I'm too wired to go ( Read more... )

Good day to you all! I think I may be in love with Ben Folds. I have been for a very long time, since I first heard Brick in seventh grade... but sometimes I forget how wonderful he is and then I listen to him again and fall in love all over again. He has such an honest, wonderful voice... and I have a weakness for any piano-playing man with a good ( Read more... )

I always get disillusioned at dusk. How poetic!!! But true. Something about the way the light is, not bright and sunny but not yet dark and lovely... it just makes me feel despondent. I am waiting to go out for pizza tonight with my room mates and our friends... it's Alex's birthday! I bought him a cigar. That should prove to be highly fun ( Read more... )

Hey everyone! Things are still going really well... sometimes I feel like maybe everything's about to go horribly wrong: that's how great things are right now. Is that strange? Probably. But hopefully I'll just keep smiling... mmm. Sometimes in class I'll realize that I'm sitting there, taking notes, with a big goofy grin on my face ( Read more... )

I'm sitting here in my empty room listening to Let Down by Radiohead at full volume. This song is so amazing. I can't even describe the way it sounds in any sort of accurate way, except for maybe this: Listening to this song is like standing in a clearing and you're looking up at the blue sky and you're wearing a brown woolen coat and a red scarf.

This picture is from my first week in Boston (way back when), when Samantha and I walked a few blocks up to the Harvard Bridge and had some woman photograph us. The other one is of all four of us! It's also hanging on our dorm room door. Boston is the most beautiful city. And I am so happy right now (and full of Greek cuisine... oh Jerry ( Read more... )

I am drunk. It is weird. I have no sense of balance.

Yes... leaning to the side for no reason,

Nothing is perfect, yeah? Tonight I was over at the house across the street, hanging out with some of my guy friends. I had just talked to my brother, who had told me that he missed wrestling with me. And this guy Dan who lives across the street was like "you wrestled with your brother? That's awesome. Let's wrestle." Now this may seem totally ( Read more... )
