Oh my god, Heavy Rain is the best video game I have ever played. Seriously, if you have access to a PS3, go out and rent it immediately. It's incredibly satisfying. Satisfaction is something that has been missing from my life lately (such is the world of molecular biology) so it was really nice to play. But it's not just my wacky love for video ( Read more... )

Reason #1029494 why I miss Sarah Lawrence: I wasn't the weirdest kid there. Not by a long shot. But in the ordinary boring real world, I guess I'm pretty weird. Even for the supposed "weird" science kids. If I ever write an autobiography I'll call it "Megan {I'm not writing my actual last name}: Too Weird for the Weird Kids.".

I LOVE NY! I LOVE SNOW! I LOVE MY FAMILY/FRIENDS! THE END!!!

So, I'm somehow hosting Thanksgiving at my place for 5 people. I am SO EXCITED! I know it's dorky, but it makes me feel like a real person/adult in a way that I haven't since starting school again. While planning everything, I remembered that when I go back to New York for Christmas, I finally get to take my Amy Sedaris "I Like You" hospitality ( Read more... )
