I thought this whole "Write a Portion of Your...
I’m still alive. This is going more smoothly than I thought it would, but I’m finding that it’s more difficult to argue what you want to argue when you actually have to argue for it. I guess it’s better late than never but also better this early than later in the case of such a large research project.
The sentences in this post are obscure and convoluted, but sometimes...

“And when at last you find someone to whom you feel you can pour out your soul,...”

Never has a quote resonated with me so deeply.

Tonight I had the most horrific dining hall experience in the history of my years at this university.
Nate, Nikki, and I went into TDR like it was any other day. As per usual, there was very little in the way of “good” food. After meandering for a bit, I decided on “Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry” and stood in line behind Nikki. That sounds pretty harmless, right? It...
I’ve just realized that I’m the kind of person who will take a break after I successfully write a paragraph of my paper because I think I’ve deserved it.
Maybe this is why writing papers always seems to take much longer than it should.

Grandmother, stepmother charged with running girl... →
Two Alabama women were accused of murder on Wednesday for allegedly killing a young girl by forcing her to run for three hours without stopping, authorities said.
The running was apparently a punishment for Savannah Hardin, 9, who died on Monday at Children’s Hospital in Birmingham from dehydration and low sodium, a condition common in marathon runners, according to Natalie Barton, Etowah...

But NOPE! (Chuck Testa) I’ve got to work on ten pages of my thesis due Tuesday. On a Friday.
It’s also raining, which doesn’t lessen this desire at all.

A week or so ago, I asked what your favorite thing about your physical appearance was. Here are the answers I got:
brighteryellow: I like my eyes. swamiswampy: The physicality of it. tricyclesinskirts: My eyes and lips. pinstripe: I like my hair and my cheekbones, haha. searchingfor-peace: Eyes. ohheykathleenkay: eyes and lashes :) you?
My favorite part of my physical appearance, as odd as it...

I'll say this here and then never say it again.
I wish I could say that I was doing this for me and only me, but I’m not.
I wish I could say that it didn’t really matter, but it does.
I wish I could say that I often just nod my head and say, “OK,” but I don’t.
I’m selfish, I’m greedy, and I want things. Everybody wants things, even if they refuse to admit how much they want them.
But it’s...

The beginnings of the American Revolution,...
BRITISH EMPIRE: All right, fine, your stupid embargo worked. We won’t levy any more taxes-
AMERICAN COLONIES: Huzzah! Time to get drunk!
BRITISH EMPIRE: Except on tea.
AMERICAN COLONIES: What?
BRITISH EMPIRE: Get over it, it’s just tea. Seriously, where do you get this idea that you’re special and should never have to pay taxes? We hope that idea doesn’t go on to infect your political discourse centuries from now.
AMERICAN COLONIES: We’re not buying your stupid tea.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Are you being serious right now? What are you going to do, just stop drinking tea?
AMERICAN COLONIES: Yes. We’ll drink coffee.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Do you even know what that is?
AMERICAN COLONIES: No, but we’ve heard it’s good and we’re feeling surly.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Fine, whatever, we don’t even care what you do anymore.
BRITISH EAST INDIA COMPANY: Actually, we are pretty much bankrupt, so you need to make them drink the tea.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Oh, for—just drink the tea.
AMERICAN COLONIES: No.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Do it.
AMERICAN COLONIES: NO.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Drink it.
AMERICAN COLONIES: Fuck you.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Drink it or we’ll punch you in the face.
AMERICAN COLONIES: *Boston Tea Party*
BRITISH EMPIRE: What the hell?
AMERICAN COLONIES: We heard it was Indians.
BRITISH EMPIRE: That’s interesting, because we heard it was a bunch of colonists wearing paint and dressed in costumes that were remarkably similar to what a crowd of drunks who wanted to look like Indians would assemble if the only supplies they had were found in an alley behind a bar.
AMERICAN COLONIES: You get all types in Boston.
BRITISH EMPIRE: …*Coercive Acts*
AMERICAN COLONIES: Oh, it is ON.
I love when I can think about or watch a video of something funny that happened a while ago and still laugh my head off about it.
Life is good that way sometimes.

Did I miss something? As stupid as I’m allowing myself to sound right now, would someone care to enlighten me?

My life is not normal.
And I’m completely OK with it.
It seems like every weekend recently has brought some crazy chain of events. Drunken phone calls, awkward kisses, skinned knees, trips to the emergency room, restaurant fires, after-midnight trips to McDonald’s to pick up a friend. I’m pretty sure that these are what define your college years.
I don’t think I knew what it was like to be able...

Two times yesterday on two separate occasions, people told me that I had perfect handwriting.
I was sitting at work at the desk when Carolyn* looked at my notebook, opened it, and said, “Is that your normal handwriting?” Another person agreed, saying that to write that nicely would take a lot of effort. About 30 minutes later, I was in a meeting with one of my professors when I went...
I'm beginning to think this wound will never heal.
I’m literally talking about a wound. On my knee. Hurts like Hell and doesn’t want to scab.
Be like a good dog and HEAL ALREADY, KNEE. HEAL.
