*in sing-song* I have a house, I have a house......

ok, so technically, it's a "cottage". But it's gonna be mine, all mine Dec 15th, I don't share walls with anyone, and I'm not in anyone's freakin backyard. I have a kitchen with a brick floor, a giant tree in my front yard, and an antique bathtub with feet. ;-)

"job"
"check"
"place to live"...

Excellent! Your own non-apartment place with a bathtub. Let us know when the housewarming takes place!

Can you have pets?
elfin:
I may have to have a few housewarmings since I don't think I can fit all the people I want to invite in this place at once. ;-)

sorry, man, I can't have any cats. I swear I got this place just because I don't have any cats.

The bushes in the rose garden exploded with blooms after the rains and several warm days. I now have giant yellow roses sitting on my desk and I've thrown away most of the stack of Wall Street Journals. The hanging ivy is as resilient as ever and I think the fern is slowly coming back from me nearly killing it from neglect. I should just...

It's kind of scary how easy us mudders are to pick out. I've been in the wonderful town of c-mont for 9 semesters now.... I think I need to flee soon.
thepirate:
do you run aim... or one of the clones? It would probably be easier to talk over that than through the journals... mines "aronsuicide"
I'm horrible with names, although I do know a few crystals... I think. My names not too different from my nick on the site, Aaron.

Headline from an old Wall Street Journal:

Drug Firms Push Japan to Change View of Depression
Once-Taboo Illness Is Dubbed "The Soul Catching a Cold";Big Market for New Pills.

Only the Japanese could manage to make depression sound cute. I mean, really.

Because I was born in Japan people expect that I know everything about them.

But the more game shows I see, the more pop culture I learn, the more literature I read.. the more I realize I don't know what the fuck they are all about.

Freakin' wackos.

I'm not sure if the guy was an economist or a political scientist, and I'm not sure which are worse. I was minding my own damn business after the European Union Center state of the union address given by Anthony Gooch Galvez, drinking some punch an munching on the food (which is always fabulous at these events) and talking to a fellow senior economics major...

You should have told him you'd met plenty of other men there who were willing to give up far more for far less.

my contribution of song lyrics

Aaah, leaning up against the wall
I will lash out dancing like a madman when you're gone
I will spit the blue flame and hurl my glass against the wall
And I will hear your name coming out from a boom box
I will hear your name called out from passing cars

Spiral down down down down down down down...

damn sneaky economists...
somehow, I got roped into working a party for a grad school professor I've met once. I never really agreed to this, but somehow, it got twisted that I did and now I'm stuck. eh, I get $30 and some networking with grad school profs, but still, it's my friday night and this is grad student-type grunt work. I don't have to...

You like the Nevereding Story too?!

What I like best about it is that it never eds!
elfin:
ok, to define, tonight I will be helping to serve beverages and food and such at a graduate professor's party. To his credit, this guy did help me out a lot on defining my thesis topic, so I'm considering it karma. My thesis reader will be there, so I may get a shot in at some networking.

silly boy thoughts. These are economists, dammit. We can't do anything even remotely exciting. ;-)

I like that the text at the bottom of my screen informs me that this is my first entry. good for all of us out there who compulsively join websites.

Anyhow, for any of you who I met at the gathering on saturday in L.A., I said I'd join and here I am. ta da!

I'm not really going to keep a journal here since...
