No big deal or anything...

Chris, this is for you, for making me sound cool.

As you probably saw on Facebook today I figured out that Vladimir Nabokov wrote Lolita while he was a prof at Cornell and he almost burned the manuscript in his backyard in Collegetown (which would have changed literary history). The article is actually pretty cool even if you don't get the stuff about Ithaca: http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=15632264&BRD=1395&PAG=461&dept_id=216620&rfi=6
Chistopher Reeve was a Cornell grad too. It makes sense, you pretty much need to be superman to make it up 60 degree inclines, survive SWINE epidemics, and pull a 2.0 at Cornell.
Of course you know about Bill Nye being a grad and prof here. I'm going to pee my pants when I see him.
Thomas Pynchon is also a Cornell grad but you've probably never heard of him. I'm reading his book Gravity's Rainbow right now because a Facebook quiz told me it represented me. If you like sci-fi, anti-utopian novels, rockets, bombs, octopuses, sex, rooftop banana gardens, and a complete disregard for the plot, you would love it. I know I do.
So I decided that I'm not going to feel bad about not being as awesome as all the smarty pantses here that are already in multivariable calc as freshman, because when they were my age those snooty bitches were in high school.

tired of the weather

(678): All she gave me for breakfast was raw toast. How can she expect me to eat raw toast?
(404): You mean bread?

I think the reason I find some of these so funny is because I can very easily imagine it being one of our conversations. One of our sober, normal conversations. And that makes me laugh. A lot.

So I was stressin' and everything yesterday about not being able to have my cake and eat it too but then I talked to my sister on Skype and now I found a way to steal second base and keep one foot on first. I'm going to go to the ropes training course weekend, but I'm still going to work. I'm going to have a job but not miss out on fun opportunities. Just because I'm wearin that McD's visor doesn't mean I can't do all the things I came to college to do. Thank you Valerie for having a reckless side that corresponds directly with my own.

Chris (i don't think anyone has any idea what i'm talking about but i had to get it out there) Mo

If I was a lesbian the Wonky Comma would be my soulmate; apparently

I had a dream that Charlie and I were going to get married in like a week and I freaked out. Not because I was marrying Charlie (strangely enough) but because I am going to be here for four years and then deploy for four more. The only way I can forsee getting preganant at this point is if Jesus comes back. Remember how I said that Lea and Charlie are just alike? We'll obviously there are some differences. In fact for opposite reasons Lea is just like this Facebook friend that I just turned into a real life friend. We met in a dining hall for dinner and then jammed for like 4 hours Saturday night. Now before you think I'm a creepo for meeting up with a Facebookemon listen here: he loves Death Cab for Cutie (and plays many of their songs), has never been drunk, refuses to consume aspertame or anything cooked in a microwave, and does this weird Japanese stick-fighting sport (I don't remember the name). Anyway he is really sweet, and shy, and funny, and seems like someone you would like too.

Should I be bob marley for haloween?

So, me and Lea rock at Peggle. Its this video game. We beat a bunch of frat boys who spend a large amount of time playing it. Coolio. I just got tired of that post being up. Whats new in your lives? Are any of you married or pregnant? (my mom asked me that the last time I was on the phone with her. I wonder if she seriously expects one or the other...) Anyways, bethany, whats it like to be in a relationship for a year? We need to have our september girl date.
