we had a horrible scare tonight. our roommate alex was moving back from palo alto and he and his parents were bringing stuff up from their car. next thing I knew, Stormy couldn't be found anywhere. thinking he must be under a bed or in a closet or something we tore the apartment apart. when we couldn't find him the only thing i could conclude was ( Read more... )

Christmas hasn't been a holiday I've been able to get into for awhile. I like getting presents as much as the next guy, but I hate Christmas music, and the same old traditions with rewatching the same Christmas movies, reading the same Christmas books, and decorating have gone a little stale for me.

"i'm not laughing at you, i'm laughing at the situation" is the new "i'm not laughing at you, i'm laughing with you." why can't anyone just admit that they're laughing at me when they obviously are ( Read more... )

school is for the most part winding down and any part of it that's left (yes, finals included) is not something i'm especially worried about. i am slightly behind in reading but i have plenty of time and very few deadlines. today i went on an interview for one of the many internships i applied for... this particular one was for a non-profit ( Read more... )
