I thinking about road tripping somewhere fun for my 21st birthday. I want to be in Austin ON my birthday but a road trip sometime near it sounds fun and I'm long overdue for a quasi-vacation. I was thinking that Las Vegas would be fun but it doesn't really seem like my scene. I mostly want to go there because I think the drive out there would be really beautiful. I've never been out to that part of the country before. Ideally, I would go to Europe for two months and country-hop/bum around but reality just won't allow that. Maybe New Orleans would be better. It's closer and, even though I've been to Louisiana before, I've never been that far south. I'm really interested in New Mexico but I don't know if anyone would really want to go there!
It was 'labor holiday' at my co-op this past weekend which is an incredibly misleading name. Really, it just means we get to do MORE labor, which, for me, turned out to be deep cleaning the kitchen. Gross. Taos made up for it as usual with a keg of Fireman's #4 and an ice cream party with all the fixins!
I got a job last week! Rather, I got confirmation that I will be getting a job by mid-December. It's an on-campus job doing some easy officey stuff with lots of extra time to study. This is my ideal job. I've been trying to figure out how to weasel my way into one of these jobs without being in the work study program for 2+ years now! I thought it was impossible but apparently you just need to have ~*~connections~*~
For Halloween I was Spinelli from Recess, which I thought was particularly awesome but it was kind of lame having to tell everyone.
Half the people at our party hadn't seen the show so it was lost on them. I had the costume almost perfect, though. The only flaw was that my tights were black and red striped instead of red and yellow. :-(
Pat's costume was perfect! He was Paulie from the Sopranos:
We are pretty smashed here.

I hate Sarah Palin almost as much as crazy right-wingers love her. What a polarizing persona.

I just read some entries I wrote from the past couple of years and it seems that nearly all of them were either about Nick or, at least, mentioned him. That's pathetic! And makes for boring posts, I'd say. Although I guess this isn't an exception seeing as how I just brought it up. Meh.
Anyway, I guess you could say I'm finally totally "over" it now although I wish we could be closer friends. Maybe later on. I've been dating Patrick AKA Matter of Pat for the past year and a bit and shit's pretty good. We'll be visiting all 3 American coasts this summer! Corpus: check. San Diego: next week! Virginia: August. I can't wait to be in California. I haven't been since I lived there but I was young and hardly remember. I wish we were driving out but that's a little impractical with the current state of things. It's going to be his niece's (who, by the way, is THE most adorable baby ever) 1st birthday as well as his eldest sister's 30th. Guess who's happier? We were thinking about getting Mary Virginia a cane or perhaps filling out her application for AARP...
I have to get my wisdom teeth out at the end of the month. Lamesauce! I've never had to be "put under" before plus I hatehatehate the dentist. Luckily, my Mom decided that Pat and I are incapable of taking proper care of myself so she's flying out for a few days! I feel so childish having her come so far for something so silly but she wanted to. There was no dissuading the woman! Something tells me I'm going to be asleep for most of her visit. =[ I love my mom. She is so awesome. Easily the best mom I've ever even heard of. Mad props.

I saw The Good, the Bad and the Ugly for the first time the other day. Well, that's not entirely true...I saw half of it but Pat brought me up to speed with the plot. Amazing movie! I think I'm going to buy it for my dad as a sort of belated Father's Day gift or something. I think he'd enjoy it. Speaking of movies I'm practically dying waiting for Pineapple Express to come out. A few friends of mine saw an advanced screening a few months ago and confirmed my suspicions that a stoner action movie made by the Apatow crew would be nothing short of magnificent. I have high hopes for this movie. It better not disappoint. Even if it does, I think the interactions between Seth Rogan and James Franco are enough to satisfy.
I want a short hair cut but I kind of like it long. Opinions?

Jeez. The Corpus socialists, while supporting values and ethics that I also align myself with, are so dumb sometimes. That's it. Just so aggressively hypocritical and ignorant of others. Just because you're a socialist doesn't mean you have to be pompous ass. Grow up. It's refreshing to be around people who have liberal political positions in addition to general philanthropy.
EDIT: LOLZ
NEWEIGH
I'm going camping soon! Recommendations for awesome campsites not too far from Austin? I hope to get to out to Big Ben over spring break maybe when I have more time.
My cats are being adorable right now. Bonham just unsuccessfully attempted to woo Malcom my nibbling seductively on his ear. What a fancy boy. Ouch, that sting of rejection only lasts as long as it takes for him to meander over to the food bowl. More tales in the lives of my cats next time.

I miss drives to Rockport accompanied by UnderOath. I can't listen to They're Only Chasing Safety without thinking of that time. It's amazing how music can so violently return you to a different time in your life.
I've never been much for poetry, especially petrarchan, but John Donne is an amazing metaphysical writer. We discussed 'A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning' in my literature class and I think it's one of the most romantic poems I've ever read. The compass metaphor, although seemingly an odd choice is so appropriate and well-developed. If someone wrote this for me I'd swoon all over them.
As virtuous men pass mildly away,
And whisper to their souls to go,
Whilst some of their sad friends do say
The breath goes now, and some say, No;
So let us melt, and make no noise,
No tear-floods, nor sigh-tempest move;
T'were profanation of our joys
To tell the laity our love.
Moving of th' earth brings harms and fears,
Men reckon what it did and meant;
But trepidation of the spheres,
Through greater far, is innocent.
Dull sublunary lovers' love
(Whose soul is sense) cannot admit
Absence, because it doth remove
Those things which elemented it.
But we, by a love so much refined
That ourselves know not waht it is,
Inter-assured of the mind,
Care less, eyes, lips, and hands to miss.
Our two souls therefore, which are one,
Though I must go, endure not yet
A breach, but an expansion,
Like gold to airy thinness beat.
If they be two, they are two so
As stiff twin compasses are two;
Thy soul, the fixed foot, makes no show
To move, but doth, if th' other do.
And though it in the center sit,
Yet when the other far doth roam,
It leans and hearkens after it,
And grows erect, as that comes home.
Such wilt thou be to me who must,
Like th' other foot, obliquely run;
Thy firmness makes my circle just,
And makes me end where I begun.
Le sigh.
Crap, I meant to clean my room before class but instead I internet-ed around. Jeztz muss ich zur Kurs auf Deutsch gehen. Did I mention my German professor is adorable, smart, witty and married? Oh well at least he sends me funny German preposition videos. Auf Wiedersehen!

It's been a year and you're still breaking my heart just by doing what's best for you.
I'm sorry I'm selfish and can't just be happy for you. I love you so much. This is killing me and I can't stop it.
If you really want to know, all I want for Christmas is another chance. But then again, you always want what you can't have.
In addition, I had to walk miles with my suitcase today because 1. i missed my flight, and 2. my car broke down. A fantastic start to what will undoubtedly be another craptastic holiday season.
I wish almost everything in my life were different. Except my grades because i motherfuckin' owned that shit this semester.
Word.

If legal repercussions were not an issue, I honestly believe that I could kill you. In fact, I'd probably enjoy it. Please just fuck off and die, Zach. You're nothing.

Today can seriously fuck off. Yes, this is going to be a super lame post where I just rant about what a difficult life I have when, in all actuality, it's incredibly privileged.
Today:
- I had to wake up far earlier than I would have liked
- My philosophy teacher called me out for being disruptive (which is shit) and now only knows who I am because of it.
- My pathetic excuse for a math professor skimmed through 8 pages of notes way to fast for me (or any normal human) to copy and the information is not in the text book
- My math textbook is largely useless anyway and I'm considering using it as a weapon against my professors
- My rent check bounced so I got charged an extra $45 between my bank and College Houses
- I have to put together my schedule for next semester and I have no idea what to take, not to mention any classes i might be interested in are probably already full
- I just discovered my checkbook is covered in silly putty which also means the bottom of my purse is covered in silly putty
- Dummies of the female persuasion seem to be flocking to Nick like flies (this is only annoying because not only are they stupid and slutty, they are also rude as fuck and all about drama)
- It's too hot
anyway:
On the upside, this weekend should be fantastic!

but so are you. There's nothing you really have to be doing on LJ is there? No, certainly not.
Leave your name and:
1. I'll respond with something I like about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll name something we should do together
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me (or just me).
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll leave you a quote that is somehow apropriate to you
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal. You MUST
this is kind of going to suck because no one i actually see or talk to on a regular basis uses LJ. Well, except for you, Nick.
