Bluest eyes, man. Bluest fucking eyes.
Haven't updated in a while, gonna try for a rundown. Exalted is going well, that's fun. Daniel is 100% sure not coming back next term, that's not. His Star Wars game will be starting soon to make up for this. I've been hooking up with Laura without there being any cheating or other relationships involved, which makes me feel good about myself and things. There's a hardcore band in Philadelphia plotting to beat me up because of that, which makes me laugh. Things have been going very well for Sasha, which makes me hopeful.
Dark Ages: Bremen has started after like two years. Goddamn.
The best parts of my Spring Break: Seeing an ice cream truck in the Village. Seeing Sasha. Walking around at night. Seeing Iris. Watching a K-9 unit ride around in an ubergolfcart while the other cops laugh and take pictures.

Shock and Awe has begun, w00t! I'm personally for this action. I'm not exactly sure we should be over there in the first place. Then again, we shouldn't have to be since we should have been allowed to do things correctly the first time. Technically speaking, we're still allowed to do this under the same UN Resolution that sent us over for Desert Storm. For those of you who are against this, I have a simple request: do it intelligently. Don't just keep shouting "No Blood For Oil." Separate your disdain for President Bush and the government from the actual issues involved (I had to). And please, please, support the men and women in the armed forces who are putting their lives on the line.
Did I mention I'm definitely going to be a Literature Major?
Before break, I watched Donnie Darko alone one night. Chris came back drunk, and was aghast that I was stupid enough to do so. His Away message:
Auto response from ChrisMONK44: Whose idea was it to watch Donny Darko? Oh, that's right, ask Grimace the purmpre of lived imnded (poonOtat my rpvoteru). What does that even mean ? I'm going tpretned it has meaing to me.
And now a link to a poem. Not mine, don't worry. It's Miniver Cheevy, by Edward Arlington Robinson. Watch out for that last stanza - it's a doozy. Too many people I know.
Speaking of which, Daniel's birthday is tomorrow. So wish him a happy birthday now before we all die of alcohol poisoning. Mmm, Guinness (I hope). Funerals to be held Sunday.
And then there was a riot.
Keep sending donations - I could really use them.
