Gone...

for a little while

because I don't have much to say lately, because I don't have much time lately, and because some things are just too good to share with other people, as selfish as that might sound.

The red scare

Lately I've been having dreams about communism, lately Pumpkin has been pooping in the house.
I'm not sure which one is worse.

Daze

Snow day, birthday, mimosa day, valentines day.
Sometimes I forget how much I love this place.

Not a baby anymore, does this mean I have to change the name of this blog now?

I got 8 more days of being retarded

The Supreme Court case Roper v. Simmons ruled that it is unconstitutional to sentence a person under the age of 18 to death. This case was won by relating it to the case Atkins v. Georgia a case which ruled it unconstitutional to sentence a mentally retarded person to death. An entire precedent, still standing today, based on the comparison of teenagers to the mentally retarded. When I was younger I wanted to be a Supreme Court Justice, I'm glad I changed my mind. John Marshall would be rolling over in his grave. I'm not saying kids should be given the death penalty, I don't think anyone should, but the reason certainly isn't because they are similar to the mentally retarded in brain development, ya know.

Put your head on my shoulder

A constellation, a game, things you trace with your fingertips.

The Free Market

Hedonistic calculus, Marxism and Darwinism aren't that different if you really think about it, communism isn't bad after all if you really think about it. I have the same birthday as Charles Darwin but I would rather have the same birthday as Karl Marx. Marx was an optimist, Max Weber was just as asshole. Did you know that hegemonic principles predict that there will be a third world war. Did you know that you can predict what kind of art society will make based on their economy and level of power.

This is what I have been up to lately, I know totally nerdy and totally boring.

Aw man

I wanna eat solid food but I can't, I wanna go on vacation but I gotta go to school instead. I wanna stay 19 forever but I'll be 20 in less than a month... bummer.

"I guess Brittany and I just don't talk about things other girls talk to each other about and it makes me feel like I can't relate to them"
"Yeah, you and Brittany mostly just talk about math and weed"

At least somebody understands

Tough teef

My teeth and I have always had a pretty bad relationship. Before I had braces I had really huge front teeth and they stuck out a lot and I looked like a bunny, I also had a pretty large gap between them. I have had five teeth pulled out of my mouth, in a few weeks it will be seven. I have one big gap in my mouth where a tooth used to be and now nothing is there. I have had two root canals and probably ten to fifteen fillings in my nineteen years of life. I had braces for two and a half years, and after all this I still hate my teeth because my front teeth are still huge and I still look like a bunny. The only good thing to ever happen to me involving teeth is when I was on vacation with my entire family and I lost my first tooth and all my aunts and uncles and my parents and grand parents put money under my pillow and when I woke up I had twenty dollars, that was one of the most exciting mornings of my life.

And if you don't believe in happiness

Some people just get me.

Merry Christmas.

Everyone in the neighborhood my mom lives in lights luminarias on Christmas Eve, these pictures don't do it justice, it's really beautiful.

December 15, 2009

What do you get someone who hates everything for Christmas? How do you pick out a gift that says thank you for rubbing my back while I fall asleep and taking out the trash at my house? What do you get someone to show them they are one of the most important people in your life? Something for the person that is always there for you and never judges you and will go get coffee with you whenever you want. Buying people Christmas presents is stressful, and I know all I want is a tree covered in home-made construction paper ornaments, and for everyone I know to be happy and healthy.

Dirty, muddy water

It looks cute but it's really Satan manifested in the body of a tiny little dog with a crazy underbite and a negative IQ.

In short

Just a little bit overwhelmed right now, see you when my head stops exploding.

Hey, Thanks.

If you don't consider the place you live your home, why do you live there?
I consider this tiny, crazy house completely my home. The house where Brittany put up the bunny lights in the kitchen for me, and where we wake up and sit on the couch and decide what to do with our day. Where Brittany grew the big beautiful sunflowers and where you can always find Pumpkin hiding under one duvet or another. The point is, if the place you live isn't somewhere you would call your home, then you should move out and keep searching because when you find a place you can call home, and especially if you share that place with someone you love, either romantically or otherwise, you will never want to leave.
And that is something I am thankful for today.

The little ones

Things like being able to help someone with their homework, 11 pm coffee dates, getting over yourself, and having something to keep you warm at night.

This is what I have been up to lately, I have also been really busy with things that aren't fun like going to work and going to school.

Young, dumb...

Sorry mom,

With any luck you will never even see this.
Happy Friday the 13th.

Window shopping at the grocery store

It is so good to have a roommate/life mate/best friend that is really good at making cakes, especially those of the ice cream variety, and also banana muffins when I let my bananas go bad. It is even better when instead of judging you she indulges in gigantic crepes with you on Saturday morning. I wish I had a picture of this completely amazing ice cream cake to put here but sadly I do not.

Why I hate

Why the U of A is better than Harvard

I bet they don't even have fraternity/sorority mud wrestling at Harvard, but I also bet they don't let people who are this stupid get published in the school paper.
