In terms of meeting random people in random places, and the random things they say, "OMG I'm only 15" (from an incident occurring last September) has finally met its match ( Read more... ) -

I have recently fallen deeply in love with 40's pop music. I just got back from the Edith Piaf biopic, La Vie En Rose, which was amazing. It's a better film than "Walk The Line", one that takes more risks (the non-linear storytelling takes getting used to, but is incredibly satisfying. It feels like the way memory works) and has a more ( Read more... ) -

I contracted a nasty bit of pneumonia on prom night. Looking back, I should have written something down when I had the initial fever- I had some really crazy dreams. I had one for a few nights where I was in some sort of small room, where there were about ten or so other people.

I got into Berkeley! My top choice! The city with the most record stores per square mile in the entire world! I can hardly wait. It's going to be just like that movie, y'know, the one that takes place in NorCal. This one:

MIT rejected me, but I really don't care. The whole 'studious nerd' thing isn't really who I am anymore. I want to go some place where I can easily date art-school chicks. Where I can argue over whether Public Image Limited were better than The Sex Pistols. Where I can meet exceptionally clever people who don't have meter-long rods up their ( Read more... )
