Not really any way to sugarcoat this
Pretty disappointed that what I applied for didn’t come through. I have the nagging feeling that it was because I simply didn’t have time to apply a couple weeks ago, because of my beloved mag-managing NBN jamz. I think I totally had a great shot, but I was forced to sit on sending that email for about three days too long.
Just trying not to take it personally, but they couldn’t...
And I just have to wonder
How the fuck she would react if she knew that I could ruin her. Not like the “this would trouble her a lot” ruin her, but the fact that for a couple months I’ve held in my hands the information that could completely destroy this phase of her life. It’s scary to me, to wield so much power. A lot of it is intriguing, because I know that whatever I could do — even this — would...
The little things
Holding hands,
Brushing aside my hair,
Another person’s body heat,
Fresh out of the shower smell,
Cheap dinner dates,
Dumb inside jokes,
Making up after a fight,

Makes me sick
Too many people getting into relationships two weeks before Valentine’s Day. Barf.
On playing the guitar
Although I’m pretty awesomely mediocre at the guitar, despite the near decade I’ve been playing it, I really find it to be one of the most joy producing things in my life.
There’s nothing like sitting down and being able to play the chords (and sing, I do that too, apparently) to a favorite song, old or new. I love the feeling of knowing that my favorite guitarists have played...
On collegiate academics
When does it stop being “I’m still getting used to Northwestern” and start becoming “I just generally suck at college”?

On wacky Chicago weather
After today the rest of the 10 day forecast doesn’t drop below freezing. On the one hand… SWEET. On the other hand, things like this really make me worry about the ozone layer and weep for the future of humanity.
