Let's all do our best to keep in touch, yeah? donovan.murphy@gmail.com

I don't really know what else to say except thank you to everyone who helped me make it through this. I know we're all gonna do great things.

[Vol Squad, minus Sam and Yael]

Is everyone really going to take what's happened to Mason without a hint of protest? This group is a total sham if it's all about Wolfe's ego and not about who is willing and able to help.

This is fucking absurd! Half the people they dragged off were just trying to protect their friends!

I don't know how I feel about them putting Marine on the cover.

[Mason]

My dad is sooo mad.

Soon we'll all just be gone again.

I have no wit, I have no words, no tears;
My heart within me like a stone
Is numbed too much for hopes or fears;
Look right, look left, I dwell alone;
A lift mine eyes, but dimmed with grief
No everlasting hills I see;
My life is like the falling leaf;
O Jesus, quicken me.

Well, those meds are pretty great, if you can get them. I feel like 75% better already. I hope they're not some kind of experimental slow-acting poison or something! (No but really, fingers crossed.)

Apologies for anything untoward I said while in the throes of fever, I think I got a little sassy.

[Mason]

I changed the sheets. Sorry for being a clammy mess! Love you.

[Davi]

Hey dude, I shouldn't have been so glib with you while you're still working this all out. Sorry about that. Don't feel pressured by all the stupid gay cultural stereotype stuff -- I was just shooting the shit. In reality nobody is as simple as Urban Dictionary or manhunt.net would have you believe.

[Mariana]

Are you alive?

So who isn't sick? that seems like the more reasonable question

I am just gonna be in bed with my golden girls dvds for the foreseeable

Thanks to everybody who came out for the rugby game today! I had a great time, and I hope you all did too.

Hoping we can all get a practice together this week.

Ugh, I am so not ready for classes to start up again next week!

[Mariana]

Dinner tomorrow?

[Rugby Club]

Hey guys and gals! Game this weekend? It's been ages.

I just wanted to go over how my power works, just for those of you who don't know, because it's subtle and can be very dangerous.

Anyone standing within a 20' radius of me has their own power augmented to 200%. I cannot turn this off. If you can't deal with that being a thing that happens, please let me know and I will keep a respectful distance.

Anyone I make physical, prolonged skin-to-skin contact with will have their own power augmented to 400% for as long as the contact is maintained. Anyone interested in this should practice with me beforehand, because it comes with a sort of high to it that takes some getting used to.

Merry Christmas, everyone! It just started to snow here. Hope you're all having a great time, wherever you are.

I can't believe the photos of Manhattan right now. Wish I was there to help my brother and sister. If anyone else's family is in the path of this storm please know I'm thinking of you.

Has anyone American looked into the constitutionality of this whole 'have unnecessary surgery or you can't leave' thing? Or as military assets are we not considered citizens with rights?

Does anyone want to get a game together this weekend? All the to-do over the microchips has me in the mood to tackle somebody.

Be straight with me here: have you been a bad girl today?

Hi guys! I haven't made a post about the elections yet, so I thought I should make one.

I'm Donovan Murphy, and I'm running for treasurer!

I know a lot of people are skeptical about the student government, and if I'm gonna be totally honest? So am I. I don't know how much autonomy we'll ever be allowed to have here, I don't especially trust that everyone at the top has our best interests at heart, and I don't know that a student council will amount to much. That said, why not try? It can't hurt. We're stuck here for the foreseeable future, so I figure we should make that future as enjoyable as possible. I don't really have any big campaign promises besides 'I'm a fun (I think!) and nice (or so I've been told!) guy and I think I'd be good at this.'

With regard to my credentials, I was an economics major at Columbia before all this happened. I've been doing econ independent study here to try to finish up that degree, and I'm basically doing tedious homework about money management all the time. It probably couldn't hurt to apply that knowledge to practical things that would help us all get through this more easily.

So! That's me. I hope I have your vote.

Hey guys! So I'm more of an amateur chef and less of an amateur baker. But Mason's birthday is on Thursday and I want to maybe get a cake together? I'm sure Allegra is already handling it for his party but um I don't know, I wanted to make something myself. Does anyone have a recipe they particularly like? And... want to help me with it, maybe? :/

I figure everyone's probably still at the afterparty or... after-afterparties, but I keep forgetting to do this, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to drop it in now while everyone's in a good mood!

I'm Donovan, I'm from New York City, and my power is making other powers stronger. So like, please be careful when you're near me, because things can get real pretty quickly. I swear I'm not doing it on purpose!

Saw some of you guys at the concert, but I didn't really get a chance to introduce myself to anyone.
