"Buzz look an alien!"
"Where?!"

A few things.

-- my booklist now totals THREE BOOKS! amazing. phenomenal. I am so lazy. Hopefully the rest of Spring Break will be beneficial to my booklist.

-- I've been listening to a lot of rap lately. There's nothing to explain this phenomenon, except I guess I like rap. So if I randomly start busting out a rhyme from Lil' John, don't be surprised.

-- Got to hang out with Arka IRL this weekend. And that's all I'm going to say about that.

-- I think I'm due for another Catcher re-reading. Made a few observations about the contrast between expectations and reality today. Listened to the Mountain Goats. I was a bit of an angst bucket today, which doesn't make sense since I was reading Scarlett Fever.

-- Speaking of webcomics, I talked to Drew via twitter AND email, AND Sanjay via twitter. I love my life.

-- I find it weird that I'm able to incorporate stuff I learn in American History in everyday (one word) conversation.

-- I've become rapidly obsessed with the effyeahnerdfighters tumblr. I help with it and stuff. And I love it.

Ok the end.

a) I am still busy and stressed.
b) I think I need glasses. Everything farther than ten feet is really blurry and I have to squint. Lulz.
c) Everyone at my school is fantastically horny or something!! There was this kid I saw six times today, every time with his girlfriend. I recognized him/sort of knew him because he was in my Spanish class last semester but I still don't know him. But he and this chick were holding hands and standing without breathing room and being generally gross. At WPA (which holy crap was two weeks ago! I could have sworn it was yesterday!) there was this couple virtually having clothed-sex against a wall... awk. And just general couple-grossness. Is this left over from romantic Valentine's Day emotions or something? Also, people are dating ALL OVER THE PLACE! Myself included. But my friend Megan got with a guy, and Al Pal with Kris, and Luke and Kristina, and Avy and Jamie or something... what is this????

That's it.
