My humidifier is entirely too loud.

Sometimes I worry that I send the wrong messages to people.

The world is a strange place.

Less than a week now until school starts for real...

Today was pretty awesome. If life continues to be this good, I'm going to start worrying that something awful is just around the corner. Because there's no way that I've been a good enough person to deserve this kind of happiness. Life just seems so simple and great at the moment. I feel totally free, and I'm doing exactly what I want to be doing...

ok, i'll restrain myself from posting the emu yet again. man, i love that thing.

it's good to be home. having internet access is pretty cool too. i met my (rather attractive) downstairs neighbor today. i had deadbolted my front door, and i don't have a key for the back gate, so i had to walk through his apartment to get to the back stairs....

h's on the first two, but dont know about the third yet.

our grading is honors, pass, fail. so h=honors, p=pass, and f=fail. i think its that way for every class the first two years.

no no, it was 80 cigs per day of pregnancy, and its not the same person doing it all. 80 cigs per day is a lot, dont try to be all machismo on me.
remusisdying:
well, in regard to nicotine, people who smoke during pregnancy are much more likely to have a low-birth weight pregnancy, and something like 20% of all low-bw births are thought to be related to smoking. also, the baby is most likely addicted to nicotine when it is born, so it is going through withdrawal right away, making it excitable, jittery, etc. there is also an increased risk for developmental problems in the brain, retina, or GI tract. that stuff is less directly implicated, but smoking while pregnant is thought to contribute to a mal-adaptive stress response at a young age and a possible learning-impairment.
as for the kids in the study about cocaine, they were five time more likely to show sign of mental retardation than the normal population (of the country, not the study). so yeah, they were pretty fucked up mentally as a result of the mothers' drug use. fucking people. oh yeah, and the kids had a greater frequency of heart malfunctions during developments.

when i get boring, check this out.

So I saw this gameshow today that basically enacted a prisoner's dilemma, I was quite pleased. two guys, each has a buzzer. they are given one minute to make a decision. during this time, if one of them hits the buzzer, he wins $100,000. The catch being that the other dude, who didn't buzz in, gets 1 million....

One hundred thousand dollars is more than enough for me. I'd buzz. I might ask for a tip or a finder's fee, but I'd still just be happy for the 100,000.
ktkate:
I'd kill the other guy and take all the money, fuck the prisoner's dilemma - it all sucks anyway. I'm over it. And bitter.

i miss my friends. so annoying that i'm finally going to be living in the same city for a good seven years (this will be the first time in my life that I've ever lived in the same city for five consecutive years - seriously), but none of my favorite people are there.
y'all need to move, is all. seriously. chicago is really fucking cool,...

...Sounds like you're setlling in well....
As far as being cool in college... well, I think it's a bit overrated haha.. if I had spent less time doing cool things with cool people, my initial college career might have spanned less than 8.5 years fulltime... sounds like you might have had your head on straight and your priorities in line...
ktkate:
Hmm... they wouldn't happen to have been on senate would they? Trying to think who would be there and if I knew them. If they were phil majors and I kenw them, say hello for me.

So, uh, when are you coming back to visit? I don't know about you but some vodka and the acrop sounds good to me...

I think I'm going to like it here.
Though I'll definitely be liking it a lot hell of a lot more in a fucking month (!!!) when Comcast finally gets off its ass to show up and install me some internet. And cable tv. Yeah, I'm going to have cable tv. Why? you ask. Why would you get cable tv when you don't even own...

So I am currently driving a little blue Toyota pickup. I may have to throw all environmental concerns out the window, because hot damn, I think I was born to drive a beat up truck.

Anyways, so there may be no updates or anything from me for awhile, because I'm moving tommorrow, and I don't have internet access in the new digs. Yet.

But hey,...
