Okay so in an attempt to be honest and not secretly consumed and obsessed, I am confessing that I have recently discovered the comedic stylings of Ed Helms... and I LOVE EM! I have been watching like 3 year old clips from the Daily Show just because I find him THAT funny! Okay, so... I've said it... it's out there... now I can stop secretly obsessing about watching clips from the Daily Show! |

I just want to take this moment to express how bitter I am about so many things, all of which are not even recent things. I think that this particular feeling of bitterness signifies on the necessity to express your feelings of anger or recentment and know that the person/people actually understand those feelings, thus arriving at the state of closure. I don't want to harbor these feelings of resentment anymore! So FUCK YOU to everyone that instilled this bitterness in me! FUCK YOU! |

I just need to take a second and document this feeling of imposterism. Okay I completely understand that a lot of people like the same things that I do and I can accept that. However I can no longer take people completely becoming obsessed with things that I introduce them to. And further more it is completely annoying for me to have introduced people to certain things and then for them to say to me how awesome said thing is, AS IF I DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW!!! And then what's even a little bit worse is when I introduce someone to something and they introduce it to someone else and then that someone else tries to tell me how great it is! I understand that sometimes people like the same things and normally when I loan someone a cd, book or movie it's because I anticipate that they will also like it, but for the love of God people need to stop identifying themselves through all the things that I like and introduce them too! Honestly it just makes me think that people are so phony and that all the reasons that I had in showing them said book, cd, or movie are completely fake and just something that they copied from someone else who I really should be showing said book, cd, or movie to. I mean honestly I would never act like I magically stumbled upon Belle and Sebastian or the Starlight Mints, no I note that Meghan introduced me to them! You know a lot of times when someone asks me how I heard of some band I normally have to said "oh Meghan really loves them," or "Meghan burned this cd for me." Is it so much to ask that people don't by the same clothes, accessories, and media items? I really don't think it is! |

Heidi has fallen in love! I'm completely happy for her but I can't help but notice that while my friends are finding things/people to fill their lives with, mine feels more and more empty. I get Maggie back tomorrow and I absolutely can't wait. I went a little overboard with her easter basket, so she actually gets two. Also I've somehow allowed myself to justify my ridiculousness. I would confess it here but it is too embarassing to risk that someone might read it (even though nobody ever reads this). |

My bracket has completely fallen apart! I'm almost surprised that my final four teams are all there! I've lost two of my elite eight! The devestation has been unreal! Anyhow in the past couple days I've gotten into super grad school research mode and quite frankly I could use some feedback. What does everyone (if anyone even reads this...) think about KU, Northwestern, Tulsa, Duke, Xavier, Penn... Also I'm open to hearing suggestions! |

Today was Cool Hand Luke, Pulp Fiction, and Poetic Justice. And I have two papers on Tolstoy stories that I'm about finished with. As of right now the recovery process is really taking off! I was going to order a Hello Kitty waffle iron because it seemed both tacky and obscure but then I realized that I don't ever eat waffles so that would be kinda stupid. I'll have to find something else that is tacky and silly. |

|
| I'm almost completely recovered... |

My every step is timid. I'll do nothing bad to you, but can hardly do you any good.
I'm filling the void with tacky objects, obscure movies and exams. Since my exams are done by friday this means I'm officially done with this by friday. This is my plan and I'm determined to make it work! |

I'm going to compose a Zore Neale Hurston-esque novel about a woman named Annella and something about a quilt. And there is going to be a man named Dr. Rutherford Wentworth Boxington III. And Annella is going to have the role of the tragic mulatto except in reverse, she's going to have a strong sense of black pride and then she's going to find out that she's part white. And it's going to be like 1930's post emancipation but still struggling to establish rights and a sense of self in a country that has "othered" blacks. Annella's story is going to be focused on her having a somewhat shaken sense of black pride because she finds out that she also has white roots. Annella's story is going to be complicated by the fact that she has a relationship with a white man from an established family that convinces her to spend her post-adolences (early 20's) passing in order to be with him. That's all I've thought of so far! |

so... I'm freaking out! Classes started today and I missed my first class! I went, I looked for it and I couldn't find it! I realize how incompetent that makes me sound... but I'm not even kidding!
also... I think I might just add another major because I'm not ready to go to grad school and like Cora said, if its not going to put me back than it can't hurt!
further I talked to my best friend from high school yesterday and she's getting married! we hadn't talked in a really long time and I am super happy for her but it made me realize that I'm old and I'm living like a child!
also Carly's birthday is tomorrow and that also just reminds me of how old I am! not her... but me!
on a side note should I apply to the stupid honors things that keep sending me mail? grad school app wise... is it worth it?
and finally... is there no one that will just run away to Russia with me? please? anyone? |

I'm baking a pie! I was getting stir crazy and I couldn't think of anywhere to go or really anything to do and so I'm baking a pie. I've never actually eaten pie but to be perfectly honest, the appearance of this one is tempting me. I do however doubt that I will try it. I like being able to say that I've never eaten pie, amoungst the many other things that I can say that about. I noticed I've been pretty tired lately. I think I've slept through the majority of this seasonal break, although I guess I drank through the other part. Somehow it seems balanced and healthy. I bought the cutest rainboots from banana republic the other day! I guess that's all I really have to say... |

I'm tired... and I have so much going on tomorrow that I would almost rather die than wake up in the morning.
If I go to bed now... I can get a little less than 8 hours of sleep! That is my plan! |

I spent some time just now, reading some of my lj friends profiles... and it was incredibly fulfilling. I miss being really obsessed with lj. I wish that something in my life was really interesting so that I could post about it and have people be interested in it. So in an attempt to do that (and I know its a weak attempts) I bought $100 worth of books online last night and here are the titles.
A Dove in Santiago - Yevgeny Yevtushenko (I actually bought two of these, one I intend to give to a professor and I've lost my own copy...)
Zelda Fitzgerald: Collected writings - Bruccoli
The Face Behind the Face - Yevgeny Yevtushenko
Transparent Things - Vladimir Nabokov
You Shall Know Our Velocity - Dave Eggers (it's a hardcover, I actually own a paperback, I know it seems compulsive but I feel like I need the hardcover)
When Things of the Spirit Come First - Simone de Beauvoir
America Day By Day - Simone de Beauvoir
Moments of Being - Virginia Woolf
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius - Dave Eggers (again for the hardcover and honestly I did lose my paperback!)
Raise High the Roof Beam Carpenters and Seyemour (an Introduction) - J.D. Salinger (once again I own the paperback but this one is a first edition!)
It Changed My Life: Writings on the Women's Movement - Betty Friedan
Zelda Fitzgerald: Her Voice in Paradise - Sally Cline
Eugene Onegin - Alexander Pushkin
Invented Lives: F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald - James Mellow
Dear Scott, Dearest Zelda: The Love Letters of F. Scott and Zelda - Jackson Bryer
How We Are Hungry - Dave Eggers (I've actually never read this one, nor do I already own a paperback copy...)
p.s. I'm such a nerd! |
