      <description>Hey world it's ME.

I just received the latest issue of Bitch. Once I've devoured it I'll regurgitate it all over your bad self. 

Until then, read Salinger's Nine Stories. It will make you cry, but then it will make you laugh. Mostly it will make you want to master the art of the short story. 

The National in Cincy tomorrow night. I've got my hipster vest. He's got his plaid shirt.

      <description>I have never been so wondrously challenged as a writer. This semester is going to produce great things. 



I am sometimes overcome by the urge to revolt to the middle-school
treatment of fallen friendships. I may start a rumor about your bathing
habits and what you do with boys in the backseats of cars. Please don't
take it personally. (oh, but you will)



Thank heaven for completely platonic relationships with members of the opposite sex. Without these I would wither.

      <description>If people made love like fish







It is morning. A woman
stumbles groggily into her living room, mascara smeared down her
cheeks, hair a greasy mess. As her eyes regain their ability to focus
she sees a dishevelled man asleep in a corner. Beside him is a vast,
foamy, mucousy mass.

WOMAN
Oh God. What happened last night?

MAN (waking)
Hey, baby. 

WOMAN
Oh no. Oh no, no, no. Please tell me we didn't.

MAN
It was amazing.

WOMAN
No, no way am I ready for this. What the hell happened?

MAN
Don't you remember? After you asked me back for coffee, and we were making out, and things... (more)</description>

      <description>I don't really have much to say. 



ummm. 



&quot;hello.&quot;



&quot;I spend the majority of my free time with my parents.&quot;



I guess that's about it. I need to do some cleaning before bed. 





As you were.

      <description>Life is crazy.  



I've changed a lot. I guess everyone does. If people are so involved in
the fact that they have changed, why don't they notice the changes in
others? This year I've learned that people are capable of change.
Everyone. Even you. (though it would be so much easier if you stayed
self-absorbed and neurotic because then I could simply write you off
and be done with it)



wow that was poorly expressed. all apologies. 



continuing that thought...in a way...



I'm learning how to be alone. Not alone in the lonely sense, but
physically apart from other people.  I... (more)</description>

      <description>hello. don't hate me.



I've read the first halves of many a good book this summer. Perhaps I
will finish a book yet--I'm 3/4ths of the way done with Murakami's
latest, After Dark. Other good halves I've read include: A
Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers, A Room of One's
Own by Virginia Woolf, The Tangerine-Colored Streamline Baby by Tom
Wolfe, Cash by Johnny Cash, Revenge of the Lawn by Richard Brautigan,
Door Wide Open by Jack Kerouac and Joyce Johnson, The Beautiful and the
Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and several newspaper articles. 



In other news. I... (more)</description>

      <description>Returning
home from school is not all it's cracked up to be. It's awkward.
Lonely. Oppressive. At times ridiculous. Thank heavens for Sean and
Scott. 



Today, hot tropical winds
interrupted our bleakly midwestern summer. Tornados, lightening storms,
torrential downpours--the possibilities are endless. For now the wind
is a thick wool scarf, slowly winding around my limbs. This
mummification brings me joy, reminders of sweet texas summers. I wish I
could sleep naked in my hammock tonight.
