Yeah, short white girl in a predominantly black neighborhood scerams easy mark. Fortunately for me and my iPod, I'm not such an easy mark. Take that stupid bicycle guy!
ok, took me a second, but i finally got it. yeah,that is cruel. but sometimes just realistic. i remember sarcastic boy telling me something similar at the beginning: i don't fuck girls with whom i have to use condoms.
so, welcome back to the US. are you here teaching?
i tend to agree on "americans and sex on TV." i don't have much of a problem with violence on TV - it can be powerfully cathartic, and hey the greeks & shakespeare were totally into the ultraviolence, so i can't really contest it's *dramatic* power. but i'm not clear why the fear of sex either. it's such an odd *tension* with sex, and that's the most frustrating part. on one hand, we have britney spears's tacky gyrating, on the other, we have (as you nicely put it) a total fear of "butt crack." there has to be a nice medium of tastefully sexy and erotic? why can't we just exist at *that* point.
LaTeX IS a bitch. I picked it up out of curiosity, but I'm not sure I could go back now. Typing in Word is such a pain, and formatting terrible. I like the "open space" of LaTeX - it helps me work really.
But I don't know Classical Text Editor?
We're only about halfway through our quarter here - five weeks to go yet. Ugh. I'm looking for the light at the end of the tunnel though. Enjoy your summer and travels!
Theres not much that makes me feel more pimp than learning how to use crazy, hard-to-use programs. It's so lame. I'd love to learn R, a freeware stats package, and Grass, an open source GIS package. Just to be pimp and roll like that, you know?
oh, i don't think that only men have those character traits, at all. in fact my heart was first broken by my best girlfriend. but at the moment i have to deal with boys, so... i'm ranting about the boys.
