the thin line between optimism and delusion…

I have been reading lots of new blogs tonight, and I commented to Soup’s post on the Urban dictionary, but I was having so much fun, with my comment, that I decided to make a post of my own. I am going to search for people’s names who read this, or who are my friends and don’t read this (because they don’t love me or because I tell them everything anyways). Anyway, if your name isn’t here, you can go here and look yourself up. I think this is going to be a fun game. I’ll start with myself.

Charlsie is as of yet, undefined.
But Kate is defined, ( #1 is scary, #4 cracks me up, #8 is just wrong, #9 is mean).
Paine is defined, but is kinda scary.

Travers isn’t defined, but Trav is.
Katie is my roommate – most people like the name Katie, but some people write gross stuff.

Okay, now I am going to tell you about my day, and put in links to the definitions of their names on Urban dictionary. If it is undefined, do something about it (a lot of names are undefined, so sometimes I put something similar). Keep in mind I didn’t write any of these definitions, I am just linking to the dictionary.

I went to Evidence this morning and sat with Jamie, Otis, Rakesh, and Jerome. Then I went to Natural Resources, and sat next to Ian. I was looking for Cristina because I wanted her to sit with us. Right before class started I looked at Ian’s book and realized I was in Tax. So I left. I walked out of the classroom and saw Appel heading into the room next door, and I followed him into class.

In natural resources I sat with Allison, Jason, and Ryan. Cristina sat with Brent.

After class I stood outside the locker room with Cristina while balancing a book on my head and waited for Jessica. I chatted with Jeff and Chad.

Then I went to lunch with Jessica, David, Tripp, Ally, and Kristin. On the way through campus we ran into Bizzy.

After lunch Jessica and David and I played on the internet. Kipp and Desmond were really loud. Cam said this wasn’t true (scroll to the graphs). Meredith told me how her boyfriend was electrocuted by her computer cord (he survived, and she got a new cord). Christy and I discussed boys and school and life and all the things that we always overanalyze.

okay, I’m getting tired…..

Wow, I found this site through this post by soupie.   I love it.  I wish that I thought that girls and guys could really be friends, but I don’t think they can.  I think that guys and girls can be “friends,”  but I don’t think that girls and guys can be really close friends without there being some sort of hope or expectations on one side or the other.  Jessica Faye and I disagree on this.  But it is fun to talk about. 

p.s. I love my evidence class.

While driving down the road this morning on the way to school, I realized a few things. The first one was that I had left my water bottle in the sink – full and ready to go. The next was that I had no idea where I was even going, since I didn’t bother to check the class schedule for room assignments and a quick glance at the clock indicated that I was going to be late, wherever I was headed. In addition, I didn’t have my mobile so I couldn’t call anyone and obtain room assignment because I left my phone at Jessica Faye’s house last night.

I know I have said this before, but I really do hope that one day I am able to be a fully functional adult.

Now that I am at school, I have discovered that I have no willpower. And no concentration. And this has to stop. From now on I am going to be super useful and productive. I am going to do my homework and get my act together. I am not going to do these things because I think they will help me get a good grade (I’m not that naive), I am going to do them because I need some sort of gauge in my life to tell me that I’m not lazy and that I am capable of finishing a task. I know I’m not going to make a list and check things off – mostly because I don’t believe in lists and also because I would probably lose the list (which would be detrimental to the entire process and just be another failure). I’ve got to get some order in my life, otherwise I will have bad self esteem concerning my place in this world.

And we all know bad self esteem is the root of most evils.

I am going back to Athens today. Which is very exciting. What is not exciting is that I have to get all of my stuff back to Athens. And my stuff is strewn about my parent’s house with reckless abandonment. I wouldn’t be surprised if my dog was chewing on some poor piece of my personal property right now.

My brother got an iPod for Christmas. We found my dad’s iPod. We gave my dad an iPod for father’s day – and then I didn’t have time to set it up for him before I went to Greece – due mostly to the fact that he had to upgrade his computer before I could set it up. While I was in Greece my dad lost his iPod. And we didn’t find it until after Christmas. We didn’t really start looking for it seriously until Travers got one and my dad got jealous. But now it is set up and ready to go. So my brother, my dad, and I all have an iPod. And we all have cool speakers to go with our iPods. I got the bose sound dock for Christmas – and my brother couldn’t stand it until he could get one of his own. And my dad started feeling left out – so he went and bought the JBL Center Stage – which is much smaller than the sound dock, but still cool. I told my mom that before she knew it we were going to have speakers in every room in the house, plus one at the river and two in the mountains. My mom wasn’t amused because she is feeling left out in general because she doesn’t have an iPod.

Now that I have the sound dock I can use my iPod to blow people through the wall with my music. Isn’t that awesome?

I really don’t want to pack. I really, really, really, really don’t want to. I want to lay in the bed and eat cookies and read my book. I love cookies.

I want to go to a Dolly Parton concert this summer. Any takers? Does she still have concerts?
