Ode to a new life.

"It's...
Colder than the nipple on a witch's tit!
Colder than a bucket of penguin shit!
Colder than the hairs of a polar bear's ass!
colder than the frost on a champagne glass!"

That charming little diddy is from Thomas Pynchon's "Gravity's Rainbow" who actually is a Cornell alum so he would know about that kind of cold. Oddly enough I didn't know that until after I had bought the book but as you can imagine I was even more excited. Anyway I'm sharing it with you #1 because its funny to see things like this in classic literature and #2 because I never thought about the fact that penguins deficated before; kind of like how men don't think attractive women go poop

this is the summer it all falls apart

i've gotten into this annoying habit of getting up early, like 8:30 every morning. so now i'm bored because i don't have anything else to do. i have to go to the dentist at 2, but that is like forever from now. i cant pack yet cause we don't move for like two weeks. what is everyone else doing?

Go Gators!

I am sitting in a Broward hall dorm room by my onesies because kelsey is taking a shower and lea is at club swag in the basement. I am using kelsey's lappy and she does not know it. So, we're all at UF where orientation is a boring place and the greek wraps are very delicious. We make our schedules tomorrow. Kels and me are both declaring our majors as engineering... oooh. Most of the stuff they talk about is on campus living related and therefore does not apply to us. But we are going to take a three-day rape prevention self defense class in the fall, that's exciting. Anyway, that's all i have to say about that. Oh, and- don't drink, don't have sex, go to class. ~bj

WHOOT!

Check the new subtitle! It's weird that we aren't high schoolers anymore at least I find it weird. It's also weird that I am so reluctant to look back. I am so ready to get out of here. I am wondering when it's all going to hit me..I have less than a month and it's going to be gone before I realize it. Has anyone seen the Cage the Elephant music video? Is the lead singer autistic? I mean seriously, not joking, he really looks like it. Well, so does Dave Matthews in his new video but he is good at playing autistic (see the savant episode of House with Dave Matthews guest strarring).

BEWARE! TEENAGE GIRLINESS AHEAD

don't break down, my concrete girl

ahh, this is the first day i've been home all day since i can't remember when. i'm making road trip plans and ripping CDs and creating movies with pictures and videos from europe. fun stuff. i'm not back on eastern standard time yet, i've woken up at 8:00 the past two days and not been able to go back to sleep. i learned about murphy's law today; it was quite thought-provoking. anddd i'm excited for college. i think that's all my thoughts. well, the tolerable ones at least.
