Also, my mom is coming tomorrow!!! That means I'm hitting up MILLENIUM on monday, BETELNUT on tuesday, and digesting all that delicious food on wednesday.
"I don't want this to end," he whispered. But it did, so he pulled out another cigarette.
Every time I see a shooting star I feel like the sky is sharing a secret with me.
Go see Synecdoche, New York... it'll fuck your life up. Kaufman is a mindtrip/meltdown master. The movie made me want to blow my brains out; can't wait to see it again this week!

I was on TV tonight (because of the riots/ craziness in the streets in Berkeley). ABC Channel 7 news at 11, it's supposed to keep repeating. They cut out the part where I talked about the excitement on the streets being eerily nationalistic and overly aggressive, and only included me awkwardly tagging on "...but it's great that all the young people came out!" at the end of my spiel haha.
Most insane night everrrr. People went fucking NUTS, this will definitely go down in history. And I was there.
I had an interesting halloweekend. Thursday night I went to my first frat party ever...first, and last. It was ridiculous/gross and my costume was hilariously slutty:
(The funny thing is, my costume was constituted of ACTUAL items from my roommate's wardrobe. It's her "going out" clothes. Also, why am I the only person that's noticeably dressed up in this pic?)
Things to look forward to: RUSSIA and CHICAGO in dec 2008-jan 2009, ICELAND in may 2009, ISRAEL in july 2009!! wooo
Turn up your sound.
Being an irresponsible college kid = ugh, sometimes.
sometimes I just want to shoot shit, you know?
Ryan: Yesterday, when I was walking down telegraph, this guy that looked like flavor flav came up to me and said "Go ahead and jump, brother. Your life is fucked."
David Sedaris on undecided voters:
"I look at these people and can't quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention?(Schlau)
To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. 'Can I interest you in the chicken?' she asks. 'Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?'
To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked."
I'm going to Russia Dec25-Jan5!! My relatives have yet to see me post-puberty... boy are they in for a surprise ;) ;)
I should be writing my paper(s). I just woke up from a million hour nap and I feel so weird, I need to get out.
Today I almost got run over by a girl on a bike whose face looked like this:
or this:
or this:
SENATOR GOVERNMENT
I am soooooooo happy to be home. San Diego is so wonderful. Hanging out with my mom is so wonderful. (Sushi deli is so wonderful!!!!!!)
I got a haircut today, there's very little left.... I was very nervous at first but now I'm really glad I did it. It was liberating:
Skinny love. Very solid song.
I feel like I've got a pretty good handle on school right now... midterms, papers, presentations, procrastination and all. It's a nice feeling, especially given all the other shit I've had to stress out over lately. And hopefully all the other shit will also fade away in the coming weeks.... hopefully.
HOME this weekend! I am so excited.
I still haven't done any of my billion page reading.
Home in six days. Fastforward, please.
Last night I watched Sigur Ros perform (in the rain!). It was the most beautiful and inspiring thing I have experienced in a long, long time. Sooooo surreal.
I can't believe how productive I've been the past few days, I definitely spent 4 hours a day in the library studying for my midterm!
My throat hurts, I have a cold :(
I want to be the big dog.
Things change. New month, new season, new outlook. New layout's the next logical step, right?
I've got a real mixed-up feeling in my heart. At least I think it's my heart, I don't know what else to call the mass that lies somewhere between my lungs and spine and on occasion throbs so unbearably that my throat closes up and my eyes well up with tears and my stomach drops and I feel so much so suddenly that I'm sure I could die.
