All I want in life is to be able to wake up next to the same person, once I find them, for the rest of my life. At the rate I'm going, however, I will never find him.

Why is it that I am so inept at having romantic relationships?*


*this is a hypothetical question, but if you have an answer feel free to enlighten me.

I don't know what the point of me calling home is if all my parents are going to do in bicker amongst themselves about where I should store my stuff this summer. They have no idea as to the school's storage policy, nor to the abundance/lack of self-storage facilities, so it was just ridiculous. Nothing was resolved because there was no real problem to begin with.

what i need [05 Apr 2007|04:37pm]
[ music | Mirah: Promise to Me ]

There was a child who was born to be the one who comforts me
Who was born strong and brave and holy, loves me rough and tenderly
Can it be understood the reasons why you belong to me?

I need the steady of you and i'd give you anything
That i could cut with sweet precision from beneath my tender skin
There is a way, there is a way that you could save me from this

Would you promise to be kind?
Promise to be kind

The wind is ever faithful and it carves a solemn sword
Right through the hearts of the ungrateful who are always wanting more
There is a way, there is a way that you can help me

With the ramparts built so high
All the soldiers stuck inside
But this will fall away in time
If you promise to be kind
Promise to be kind
Promise to be kind


this is what i need right now

can I get a chorus of woohoos for my 3.5 this semester? Two As, a B+ and a B- isn't too shabby.

My Day [20 Dec 2006|11:24pm]
Well, I have had an interesting day. I knew that I was going to have problems. I was supposed to get home through Denver, which is experiencing a major blizzard. I waited in line at the Frontier counter for over n hour to be re-scheduled to a delta flight tomorrow (12/21) at 7am to Atlanta, and then to DC. It could be a lot worse, however. My father proved to be my savior, getting me a gotel room at a La Quinta near the airport. I never thought I'd say this, but I will be soooo glad to get home.

Being home now, I realize that nothing has changed. I find that both comforting and disturbing. Somethings I'm glad haven't changed, and some things I wish would change. Oh well.

what class do I want to take more, Modern Latin American History or a class called International Organizations. I would consider doing both, but they are at the same time on the same days. I'm torn!

here are the Course descriptions:
Modern Latin America: Confrontation with the complexity
of modern Latin America through historical
analysis of the roots of contemporary society,
politics, and culture. Through traditional
texts, novels, films, and lectures, exploration
of the historical construction of modern Latin
America. Themes of unity and diversity,
continuity and change as framework for
analyzing case studies of selected countries.

International Organizations: The changing relationship between
the United Nations and other selected
international organizations and their
environments. Purposes for which national
governments try to use international
organizations and consequences of their
efforts. Politics of the U.N. and other
international organizations, conflict
management, economic and social issues
facing the organizations.

Please help, I'm torn!

I am an idiot. I just committed to stage manage a black box show that is going up in about 3 weeks (the weeked of October 7th). They rehearse for 3-4 hours a day, and I have to be there. I really don't have time to do this. I am an idiot.

my parents have reached a new height of awfulness. i wanted to sleep over at abby's house tonight. not to do anything illicit, not to sneak out in the middle of the night to execute the senior prank, i just wanted to sleep there. but no, my parents would not allow me to, for no apparent reason. The fact that i was not allowed to sleep over is not the big issue. my problem with the whole thing is that my parents don't trust me enough to be where i say i will be and do what i say i'll be doing. they don't beliebe that i won't lie to them and that i know how to properly make good choices. I'm now 9 days shy of being 18. they need to realize that any impact that they had on my morals and decision making skills happened a long time ago, and that they nned to take on faith that i won't lie to them and i will make good choices. i am so frustrated with their lack of trust in me. they probably think that they are "helping" me to become a better person by doing something like this, but all they are doing is breeding resentment. 81 days until i leave for college, and i am not looking forward to a single one.

In a microcoosmic example of my life, my parents insisted that they read and revise my responses on my housing form. they were telling me what i should list as my hobbies, what kind of person i want as my roommate, what i should put as my top 3 dorm choices. wonderful!

per elizabeth's request, 10 fictional characters I would have sex with (in no particular order)

Dr. Derek Shepard (grey's anatomy)- oozes sex appeal from every pore
Dr. Preston Burke (grey's anatomy)- ditto
Nick Stokes (CSI)- the best jawline EVER
Warrick Brown (CSI)- the eyes... that's all that needs to be said
Dr. Finn Dandridge (grey's anatomy)- he's really atractive, but who am i kidding, i would do the whole cast
The Buedia Men (100 yrs of solitude)- because of the circular quality of time in the book, they're essentially all the same guy
Det. Vin (Fin?) Tutuola (SVU)- something sexy about the toughness
Det. Elliot Stabler (SVU)- ditto
this is only 8...

I tag stephen, larissa, anyone who wants to respond...

well, got an interesting phone call today while @ the track meet. I got into Occidental, off their waiting list. i think i'll stick w/ L&C, but I'm not sure. the thing i hate most is that my parents want me to pick occidental, and i can tell.
