thnxgiving

i'm home.
in my pajamas and listening to weezer. plus mia is coming over soon and i want to buy my mom something shiny for her birfday.

anyways, in spirit of the hollidays, i am thankful for: bolts of cloth, ink pens, thick paper, portable music, lyric archives that help me fake it, secret-telling being hereditary, playdates, sunshine, and my family.

stranded

i am stuck here, in pittsburgh.
i'm missing my second hour anthropology exam, a paper on colonization and imperialism that was due today, and PAUL RUSESABAGINA.
i feel like i'm going to cry. this is the first time i didn't want to be here and yet.

iCool

so there's this kind of unspoken etiquette for those who walk around campus with white headphones. most people act like they're not listening to anything at all, earphones cooly in place while they strut from class to class. i've seen it on every campus i've been to.

and i can't seem to get it right. i fumble with my earphones because they don't fit right no matter how hard i try and i'm not very good at "not singing along". especially when clap your hands say yeah come on, then i warble along and bop my head with every beat. sometimes i try to spin in midstep and i look like i'm in saved the last dance only a lot clumsier and it's hard to twirl with a heavy tote bag slipping off your shoulder.

i think i'm the biggest dork here.

otherwise, today wasn't bad at all. the forecast called for snow but all we got was rain before i woke up. since then it's been cold. not chilly, not hm a sweater would be nice, but my nose is red and hands hiding in pockets cold. i got a coat when i went to the wedding a few weeks ago and it's long and black and tweed and with the sky doing all of the lovely winter things it does i realize how much is before us. it's vast, wanting and waiting to be filled up with words and books and images and sounds and nothing compares to these beginings.

anarchy in raleigh

best part of today's letter from kyle:

How is teh college? Heard you're broke! Cool, very punk! Go hungry! Don't conform to food! It's so corporate-clonesk to eat. Maybe my words will encourage you. there is always speed and art. are you obsessed with the word manifesto yet? How about lisp? I mean lithp. As to my punkness: I totally threw up last week.

delish.

PeLo LoCo87: consider this my official endorsement of Blarney Irish Castle Cheese

carbs=medicine

being sick at school is significantly crappier than being sick at home. i remember almost hoping i'd get sick so i'd have an excuse to miss school for a day, watch tv for six hours straight, and be brought soup and other foodstuffs at the pleasure of my pallate.
and here? well, i just made myself instant oatmeal. i could also make myself cup of noodle, which i've already eaten twice this week. i coud make popcorn, cereal, or eat saltines. the only good food is a quarter mile walk and i wish i hadn't wasted all those days when i was feeling under the weather pushing along and waking up every morning.
