Last night I stayed up til 3 in the morning doing my homework because I get out of class at 9pm and have class and work all day today so I had to finish my assignment the night prior.
I’m used to staying up late for homework. What I’m not used to is enjoying it so damn much.
My homework included drawing an Italian Villa in tone and adding whatever we thought was missing from the...
So Much Facebook
Sometimes I wonder when people “Like” my statuses if they just like them or if they like them because they know they’re the lyrics to a certain song. Because as of late, a good deal of my statuses are just songs lyrics that I like a lot. But I just don’t know if the people who are “Liking” them are fans of the words or the song. I hope the song. That would be so...

Pet Peeve #3
I know number 3 is high up on the list, and to be honest I can only think of one that is above this on my list, but I don’t want to say Pet Peeve #2 in case the list is altered in the near future and something knocks the others down. Anyways:
Lying about your financial state. Examples:
“Sorry, I can’t go out today I’m too poor”—Immediately followed by said person...
...what... THE FUCK
Why do you KEEP suggesting we go to Jack In The Box when, once everyone’s agreed, you say “oh my car’s out of gas”.
WHAT THE FUCK NO SERIOUSLY I CANT BELIEVE HOW ANNOYED I AM AT SOMETHING SO SMALL.
If you want to do something, then FUCKING DO IT.
And if you DON’T, THEN FUCKING SAY YOU DON’T! WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM!?

Recess
I always loved the show and even now I can be caught watching an episode at four in the morning.
It so perfectly nails the public school experience, complete with all elements from your childhood: the teacher who you swore was out to get you, the importance of getting a good ball, the curious agreement between friends that teachers have secret lives, the supreme disappointment of rain, and of...

Do I Know You?
I get really weirded out when a stranger comments on a facebook comment I left on one of my friend’s walls. Yeah, just writing out that sentence made me want to vomit because it’s a pet peeve that can only exist in the world of facebook, but I’d at least like to elaborate:
Let’s say you wrote on your friend’s wall: “Want to meet up tomorrow? Coffee...

Photo A Day
I’ve seen about… oh I’d say fifteen thousand people recently start a “Photo A Day” project of their own, beginning on January 1st.
I’ve seen about… oh I’d say one good one. And it’s by my former roommate from the dorms. And it’s because he’s actually doing photography and is taking pictures of things that don’t suck total...

Vegas—Epilogue
Gustavo: and what the fuck was with _______ coming back in the middle of the night?
Adolfo: I don't know but I know we all stopped talking as soon as she walked in.
David: It's because we were having a guy moment and then it got interrupted so we all just went to bed.
Gustavo: What were we even talking about though that made us stop?
Adolfo: We were talking about how much she sucked.

Jon: Imagine if you found a square in real life. Just a two dimensional one.
David: I have found it. On a piece of paper. Drawn.
Jon: No, I mean like, a square, that you could touch and hold.
David: that already means it exists in three planes though.
Jon: No, just. Dammit, imagine harder. Like if you walked around it and—
David: If I'm walking around it as an object in space then it can't be two dimensional
Jon: when you get to one point, it just vanishes. and then you look at it—
David: It's impossible. It—
Jon: from another side you see it again.
David: It... none of this...
Jon: I would buy it. I would buy it no matter how much it cost.
David: I don't think it's for sale.
Jon: You're right. It's probably on loan.

David: High School was just randomly picking up Neel?
Francis: I don't know why we did it but it was fun!
