Julian, we were not good friends, but you did not call me on my shit when you should have, I would have said yes if you had asked me to prom, though my actual prom date has been dead for three years now so I guess I have poor taste, but I am so sorry I never spined up to re-connect with you and while I am glad you died in the act of protecting our country, which we argued about...

I agree completely, and I’ve (obviously) never been called that. How do you think the University/we should deal with this?
For this specific incident, I think an apology, which has happened, (sort of), and dialogue. Like DU should host a forum with however many Latin American student groups and students, or...

Well that didn't go as planned.
It is nice to see the sunrise from outdoors and not through the windows of a library.
If you’re bored, you’re boring, but I don’t remember when I stopped having anything interesting to say, and nothing interesting to do. Middle of the action, climax even, and I just want to go to bed.
I like to think that this group hasn’t changed me, that I didn’t pick up bad...

His family was nice enough to join him in what he calls a conversation starter...

I kid, sort of. This is from Break of Day, in a possibly bad translation (“show surprise” “love-secrets”) that I bought on the sidewalk. This book is basically about being middle-aged Colette, living in Saint-Tropez, eating, gardening and taking a lot of interest in your cats’...
Oh man.
So I jast saw all 7 hours of Angels in America, and woof, feelings. I think I felt the most for Joe, but the way the play is written, I don’t think I’m supposed too. Also, at one point I thought “that shit gay,” and knew I would have to commit ritual suicide when I got home. But now I am tired.
Also, I am looking forward to saying “No” repeatedly tomorrow and...

DON’T FREAK OUT ABOUT THE WHITE BABIES.
Sometimes you wake up at 3am, having gone to bed at 9 because you have accidentally trained your body to wake up after 5 hors of sleep, and you find yourself eating popcorn standing in front of your fridge spooning weeks old frozen margaritas into your mouth for the large pot I your freezer, using a plastic spoon, because you were hungry and thirsty and this is all you could manage without burning...

The Frenemy.: Things I Would Like In Five Years →
thefrenemy:
a week of good hair every month
nail polish that never chips but removes easily
a faucet that produces, when you want it to, Snapple
a tub of hummus the size of my body
gay marriage legal, celebrity marriage a state by state kind of thing
the ability to make my favorite television characters…
That feeling of, well it certainly isn’t anticipation so it must be dread, when you can feel something coming, something deep and sad and awful, and there is nothing you can do to prepare except batten down the hatches, though all that has ever done is made more mess.
That feeling must live on the back of my hand, I know it so well. But now I’ll have the time to let it swallow me...

Can’t stop, won’t stop, I love pop music so much you guys, but I haven’t listened to The One Wanted Direction yet because, I’ll probably like it and I don’t have time to crush on 16 year old boys anymore. I AM GROWN.
