I'd like to turn to a type of song that people like myself find ourselves subjected to with increasing frequency as time goes on, and that is the college alma mater. You'll find yourself at a reunion of grads, and old undergrads, and eh... somebody will start croaking out one of these things and everyone will gradually join in -- each in his own key, of course -- until the place is just soggy with nostalgia. Well, a typical such song might be called Bright College Days, and might go like this. Bright college days, O carefree days that fly, To thee we sing with our glasses raised on high. Let's drink a toast as each of us recalls Ivy-covered professors in ivy-covered halls. Turn on the spigot, pour the beer and swig it, and gaudeamus igit-ur. Here's to parties we tossed, To the games that we lost, We shall claim that we won them some day. To the girls young and sweet, To the spacious back seat of our beat up Chevrolet.

So what exactly did you say to Eros that made our dear brother so upset?

This school year is almost over, which means I'm going to need more people in the Fencing Club to replace those who graduated or couldn't handle it. Not everyone will be selected to participate in the tournaments, so I do not want to hear complaints from you or your parents. The first complaint I do hear, you're out.

Please go here to sign up. I don't want an influx of emails or comments through here saying, "Awesome! Sign me up, dude! :D."

Also, Intramural Rugby is looking for more players. It's co-ed. There are men only/women only teams. Go there if you're going to bitch about having to play with women. See this for more details. The note above still stands. I don't want to see any "dude" or "awesome" or ":D" in my inbox. You are all adults, and will be joining the workforce. Your boss does not want to see text-speak instead of fully coherent emails.

I hate Jack.

Jack convinced me to watch this stupid cartoon called Adventure Time.

I can't stop watching it.

I think my brain is mush.

I can't sleep.

I'm just

watching

this stupid cartoon

about a stupid boy and his stupid magical dog and his stupid crush on a stupid candy princess.

It's two in the morning.

I am losing my mind.

Help.

Is it Wednesday already? FUCK YEAH!



I would now like to congratulate the world on having spent nineteen wonderful years with me! You're welcome.

So far so good too! Dragged my ass out of bed, got cupcakes and I've been sharing and eating them all day. I've eaten the most, though. I'm probably going to die of a sugar overload by the end of today.

Can that really happen?

Anyway! You should all come find me between classes, during class, whatever! And get some cupcakes! If I don't eat them all I AM JABBA THE HUT But mostly to sing me "Happy Birthday". Because that's the price of a cupcake.

If anyone is in or near the English building, could you please stop by room 307? I need you to tell me if you see a calico guinea pig sitting on the windowsill. I need to know if it's an escapee from the biology labs somewhere or just dead. Please hurry before he or see decides to move.

My latest project for my Figure Structure class is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I have to draw people in motion, and I tried doing that when I watched the last MMA Club practice but I wasn't quick enough to catch some of the moves. That, and I got too caught up cheering people on.

Maybe I'll see if I can't find a nice spot to sit outside near the track so I can draw some runners. Then, when I need a break, I can work on my running too!

Every time Nike produces a new shoe or whatever, I want to punch them into their damn faces for using my name. They turned the honorable Greek word for 'victory' into the epitome of sweaty feet!
Goddamn fuckers

Does anybody know a good place to abreact? Or good ways to do so?

So someone on the forum asked me about the Kennedy family a while back. I got to thinking -- it's really interesting how, after JFK's assassination, Jackie used Camelot to illustrate her husband's administration. She used the kingdom in the context that it was an ideal and handsome court, meaning to say that USA under JFK had been similar. But, really, while JFK did have some lasting policies (a lot of them owed to his brother Bobby's aggressiveness as Attorney General), his term was fortunately in the aftermath of Allied victory. Furthermore, the country was, comparatively, in a great spot -- Cuba and the DR, anyone?

To be fair, the Kennedys' penchant for promiscuity was comparable to many illustrations of Camelot. There was even a touch of pseudo-incest -- among JFK's hand-me-downs to RFK included Marilyn Monroe and Jackie herself. One chronicler calls Bobby and Jackie the Kennedy Lancelot and Guinevere. That man knew nothing. Though I suppose that was hardly what Jackie was thinking at the time.

Hmm, I apologise for rambling a little there. I just find it ironic that, in the face of death, matters can be spun so romantically, sometimes even erroneously so. Jackie and Jack had never had an ideal marriage. Funny how, post-mortem, he'd gone from philandering adulterer to King Arthur himself. Like he could hold a candle.

They say she'd never loved Jack more than she had when he had been stolen from her. This, I can understand -- my heart was full to bursting for Arthur when I stood before his grave.

Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa. God, I need to go for a run.

My room is a mess. It's not too bad, but it's not good. And why am I stressing about my room when I need to write that paper?

Because my family is coming Friday night and they're going to want to see my room sometime Saturday. I don't think they'll care, but I never would have let my room at home get this bad or the house. It's not as bad as this, but there is dust, textbooks on the floor by my desk, I haven't cleaned my sheets for two weeks, and I didn't get the bathroom cleaned last weekend.

I need to stop being so lazy. What would Mom say?

Is anyone doing anything for Easter this Sunday? I was debating having a dinner party, if anyone was interested. The menu is still being determined and I'd love suggestions from anyone wanting to attend. We could even do a potluck thing if people like. Or if not, I'll probably just see if I can't find someplace to go for brunch.

In other news, the Prayer Circle is in need of either a faculty or graduate student adviser to act as chair. If anyone is interested please let me know.

"Spare me your judgements and spare me your dreams,
Cause recently mine have been tearing my seams..."


It's been a really messed up week or so in Aria-land, and I think I reached my tipping point because I'm sitting here listening to Mumford & Sons, eating a greek pizza, snacking on curly fries, and drinking the emergency bottle of fuji apple sake I save for 'special occasions'. Trust me when I say I'm in a 'special occasion' type of mood.

Ugh, I am going to have to fast tomorrow, and work out extra hard all weekend because I feel like such a fatty. In an effort to distract myself, take a peep at a few things I found amusing while I try to pick a song to audition for Les Miserables with.

I hadn't heard from you, and I would like to know where we stand was getting worried, then this song came on it and made me think of you. I just hope you're alright, and don't hate me if not I'd like to help, if I can. And why is Maddie standing up for Tell your best friend to back the fuck off my bes Does Maddie always fight your battl

[filter; arron]
I know things have been a bit weird between us, but you know how I am about music and songs, and this one really stood out to me. Also, if I'm not mistaken you have a birthday coming up. Therefore, I've decided if you don't have plans already, I'm kidnapping you sometime Saturday afternoon and will return you Sunday evening. Are you down for that?

This year my birthday is on a major Christian holiday. I'm not sure how to take that. My mother wants me home for the day, but I'm not exactly in to mood for celebrating in New York when I just have to be back on campus the next day.

So anyone not celebrating could always come buy me a drink. I don't want a large party because shit's still touchy amongst everyone Birthday fights are also welcome. I dare everyone to try giving me birthday smacks.

[04 Apr 2012|10:19pm]
I'll be so glad when Easter is over with.
