New Location

Until further notice (i.e. until May or so) I will be posting from this LiveJournal to separately chronicle my adventures in London/Europe. Enjoy.

Leslie: You have lots of issues.

Leslie: No lots of ISSUES

Me: Oh yeah, I have lots of those.

relationships

You know those people, the friends you worry about when you think about them, in the sense that the world is going to eat them alive?

Is it better for people who are innocent and naive to be with someone as equally innocent and naive or to be with someone slightly more cynical, so that they can offer some protection the day the chaos turns nasty?

gobble?

So walking across campus at night alone is creepy, but only when it's cold outside? reason? I have no idea. Probably because there are less people and you feel like a giant puffball with no manueverability with all the warm clothes on.

On that note, I am going to FREEZE in London next semester and better find some warm clothes before I go or buy some immediately upon arrival.

Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou soundtrack is awesome. Mainly the Ping Island Attack song.

I made a London Travels Diary out of my LiveJournal account that I never use so that when I am in London you can all keep up with my travels! So from January-May, it will hopefully have pictures and stories and adventures.

Puns are my absolute favorite.

I've developed this horrible habit of sitting outside in the courtyard, no matter how poorly dressed we all are for the weather, for hours at a time talking about life and philosophy and other important things except sometimes we talk about Guitar Hero and coffee and crosswords. At any rate, it's a nice way to spend the time in between class. However, as the courtyard is in between my dorm and the library and I can't ever study in my room I always get sidetracked and have thus gotten WAY behind on my reading and paper writing. Problem.

I wish American Dreams was still on TV. Or that Seasons 2 and 3 were on DVD and I could buy and watch them and cherish them ahhhhhhhhhhh I LOVE THAT SHOW! It hurts sometimes.

I finished (basically) my research paper for German History today. The formatting is right and whatnot. All that's left is to finish proofing the rest of it (I've done 12, 5 to go!) and maybe reworking the last 2 pages. lalalalalala Hitler is evil (it's about the German Resistance to Hitler 1933-1945 . . . in case you care).

I need to read 200 pages of Mansfield Park by Monday and tomorrow I'm going to see this ridiculously talented piano player play some of Beethoven's Sonatas and perform a duet with his Van Cliburn winning teacher. For free. TCU has it's perks. But then it also has what looks like Bosnia/war zone in front of the Student Center and my dorm, so there are good and bad things.

According to The Economist, countries hire advertising people to advertise for their countries in other countries to increase positive public opinion. After Borat, Kazachstan is apparently trying to hire one. The U.S. has been doing it for awhile, but apparently it's not working and the public opinion keeps going down despite the advertisments.

I really really really don't understand the point of guns and war and violence and fighting. I don't think anyone will ever explain to me how it makes sense or solves anything. I mean, I've heard all the excuses for it, you know, as a foreign policy solution. It's so stupid. I just don't understand it, not at all.

Yesterday my sandals broke so I decided I would invest in some that wouldn't fall apart. My Birkenstocks are officially amazingly comfortable. Also, I feel like a hippie when I wear it with my wool poncho. awesome. Even though it was in the 50s this afternoon, the sandals with the poncho was lovely.

Shit. I need to write some essays man, for seriousl. They're all due this week! Ahhhhhhh.

Um Southlake kiddos who are Giving Thanks next week in the Bubble, we better have some super awesome turkey parties! Let's blow this popsicle stand, paint the town, run amuck and cause a ruckus. Hardcore.

la di da, la di da

Blablablablablablabla

Today was like the longest day ever.

I hate Republicans.

Today during class I was thinking how interesting/weird/insert word it would be if people had to describe their lives with one book/poem/short story/work of literature, what that would be. And you couldn’t tell people about yourself, they had to read the book to understand you. I wonder what book I would choose. And sacred texts are off limits. I mean, I can think of books where if I had to recommend a book for people to read, what I would recommend, but if I had to sum up my life—beliefs, religion, morality, sex, the state of affairs in the world today, the future, life, death, the universe, everything—what book I would choose. Is there even such a book?

What if other people had to choose the book for us?
What book would I choose for everyone I know?

Merriam Webster dictionary.com has 8 different entries for “limit.”

Where would we be without limits? Humanity I mean. What if everyone always spoke their mind and said and did whatever they wanted? I wonder if the world would be better or worse than it is now. Obviously it would be extremely different because it would be complete anarchy, but anarchy means there is peace, so it could just be complete and utter chaos. I wonder if total chaos would be better or worse than the system(s) we all have in place now. Interesting.

In other news, school is heinously busy, but I am surviving. Midterms/Term Papers are going on/due for the next 2 weeks. Today was the first barrage, but I won. Fuck you German Hisotry, I WIN!

Kate and I went to see The Rocky Horror Picture Show on Tuesday. It was awesome. She dressed up as Magenta and I dressed up as a transvestite (from the convention). We looked um, amazing. Not gonna lie.

Class class class. We have to watch a movie for German History tonight and write an essay on it. The movie is fucking 3.5 hours long. Boo hiss.

Off to read before class/movie. blahblahblah I'm missing Grey's Anatomy boooooooooo
