the first

it's february! when i think back on new year's eve, it doesn't feel like a month has gone by. on the flip side, though, so much shit has happened since then that it seems totally appropriate for it to be forever ago.

i cancelled my match.com free trial today, before it could roll over to a $40 subscription. it was very sad, but also very wise, i think.

i had to go back to the tropics today, for my behavior lecture. it was so humid and so foul in there.

mad and i sat in our room for an hour today, listening to massive attack's "teardrop" on repeat and trying to pronounce all the english words in that song as if they were in another language, much like the singer does. i also drank many mugs of jasmine tea, which i love because it makes me smell like flowers.

today, on my way back from class, i ran into lisa, who i don't think i've seen for three or four years. in fact, i don't think i've seen her since junior year in high school, when i had to plan prom and she was nominated for the prom court (what a nice little example of how high school was). actually, that's not true. i saw her on third street in santa monica last year when she was singing there on a friday night. but, i digress: i guess the point is that it was way random and strange to see her on campus, considering she's doesn't go here, and it's always weird to see people from home in the big bad world outside the suburbs.
