I'd say my life is well on track.

It's 4:22 am and I'm awake, hopped up on caffeine and sugar, wearing fake glasses and doing midterm stuff while watching this:




YUUUUUP

Because Holga cameras aren't hipster enough in and of themselves, I now have a fisheye lens attachment and plan on taking pictures of shoes.

My life is on a downward spiral.

I'm putting off doing my reading for Contemporary British Lit simply because I don't like the type of paper the book's printed on --or the font. And there's too many words per page. Space them out. The letters are too small too. And the book doesn't smell good. And the pages are dirty. It looks like a barista was reading this while making espressos. I should've bought it new. There's tape on the front cover. It's been written in already. Up until page 25. That person was probably as distracted as me. He or she probably got fed up with the paper, the number of words per page, the stains, the tape and said "F*** reading this book". But, the author is wearing sweet glasses.

"For the first time, in a long time, I feel alive."

So, I'm a senior and for the first time since the beginning of Freshman year, I feel like DePauw is where I'm supposed to be. I may be overly optimistic, which is uncharacteristic of me, but I think this might turn out to be my best year yet. I've decided to try to journal everyday, and while I don't want to share ALL of my personal journal, I'll probably post chunks. STAY TUNED.

Where is Conan O'Brien? I WANT HIM BACK.

I just finished developing some film for photo class, and I'm eating an apple... I didn't wash my hands first. There's a 87% chance I've just eaten developer, stop bath, fixer, hypoclear and photo flo in that order. Cheers!

I have a lot I could say, but I don't have time right now. Later/Soon.

I need to go finish reading The French Lieutenant's Woman. Thanks.

Quotes from Caty CMFK 2010

I would like to commemorate this final day of my internship with a quote from the charming, Catherine Green:

"The latest psychotic malfuntion in my head has me singing "build-a-bear" to the tune of silver bells in Frank Sinatra's voice-- On that note I'm going to bathroom to make faces at myself in the mirror and laugh-- because I'm a grown up."

I don't know how the College Mentors for Kids' Development Team will survive without us.

Finally, a decent haircut in my life!

Summertime ramblings/my brain is turning to goo

1. I just found some milano cookies that I tucked away to eat on vacation and forgot about. My first instinct, real life, actual reaction was, "Oh, NOM."

2. This summer, I was so posi. Positive. Duh.

3. There's nothing I love more than when I put on my serious headphones for serious music listening, and forget to turn on music.

4. Oh for sure, mewithoutYou is my favorite band.

5. Oh for sure, I'm ready to go back to school. A few days ago, I caught myself saying, "I wish I were in Greencsatle so I could get--" I stopped myself there, of course. While I regret the words "I wish I were in Greencastle" anyone who has tasted No. 1's Singaporian noodles would understand where I was headed with that sentence.

6. In reference to #3: A friend just sent me a song over AIM with the message "Best Song Ever" only to be followed shortly by the opening lyrics (dirty south, etc) to "Are you that somebody" by Aaliyah circa 1999. I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize for defiling my serious listening headphones. Sorry, Aaliyah. No offense-- RIP, girl. Also, I should, I haven't turned off the song. SUE ME.

7. So into this:


8. Nothing more to report. Oh wait, yes there is. Qdoba tried to kill me with their queso. The situation with my stomach is lamentable. K, that's all.
