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.

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,...

Ha, that's hilarous. Tell them hi from me! I love drunken conversations about random people you like. Anyway, glad shit is going well.... when do you start school?
tiamat:
sometimes i like sleeping alone too. so i can toss and turn, sprawl and sometimes even wake up with my ass in the air. wonder what i was dreaming about when i woke up like that.... 
yeah, so it turns out that i live like, three blocks away from a houseful of reedies. really makes me realize how fucking lame i was in college, because i barely know most of them, yet they know all of my friends (even my boyfriend, oddly enough). i mean, i could totally have been cool, i had lots of cool friends who had other 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...

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...

Very cool!! I got a job offer yesterday in Chicago, but this Texas boy is gonna stay put... I don't think I'd do well with living in a place that actually has winter!
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,...

i think i will feel good watching it.
ok, so today has been a fascinating day, mentally. it's amazing how sometimes, you're doing 10 different things, but they all seem to pool together into a common theme which has interesting contradictions and implications for your general approach to life.
So today I

im in a really similar boat, though i havent had much time to think about everything. the fact that you were able to write out the individual threads makes me realize that i really should just chill today and write to you and just kind of think. that, and orientation is over, so i can actually do that now. awesomeness.

It's not a change in eye colour (I wish), just the top picture is darker and more contrasty than the bottom.
Yeah, so life is sort of lonely and boring at the moment. I dunno.

just thought i'd say hi. i was poking around the 'college' group, and i saw you were starting a phd program at the u of c in the fall. i'll be a 2nd year in the poli sci phd program at chicago this fall. so i thought i would say hi, and wish you a good start on your fall quarter

so yeah, i will never have sex again, and its so awesome. SO awesome. i think thats what i do now, i write 'SO' to make up for the fact that im really just not worth all the effort it takes to live. SO true. honestly.
