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...

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...
