Mean Girls

Janis: That one there, that's Kyle Gatlin. He is one of the dumbest boys you will ever meet. Damien sat next to him in English last year.
Damian: He asked me how to spell orange.
[Cady snickers]



Janis: That little one, that's Nick Guenther.
Damian: He's totally rich because his dad invented Toaster Streudels.
Janis: Nick Guenther knows everybody's business, he knows everything about everyone.
Damian: That's why his penis is so big, it's full of secrets.



Janis: And evil takes a human form in Emily Rothenberger. Don't be fooled because she may seem like your typical selfish, back-stabbing slut faced ho-bag, but in reality, she's so much more than that.
Damian: She's the queen bee - the star, those other two are just her little workers.

My Semester (recap 1)

I can't write remotely well at all anymore.


Some new friends at Purdue:

Julio Morera - What a crazy kid, what a big heart, what a caring individual. I'm defnitely looking forward to getting to know him better.

Dane DeSutter - Never in my life have I been friends with someone like Dane. So arrogant! Haha. So devilishly funny. We could be talking about the most immoral things - think the Holocaust's extermination of gypsies. I am the devil and he is a gypsy... Oh yeah, I'm living with him and a friend of his next year. Pretty cool.

SPS and all them - Sarah Svendsen, a friend of mine from IU , said that physics majors are some of the most genuinely nice people of all of her campus. Well, the SPS (society of physics students) may or may not match that. Everyone seems to peacefully coexist. Everyone is a hardcore nerd and I love it. Totally unafraid to be whomever it is they are. And they are pretty nice, I must admit. But as with any moderately small group, there is in-group drama.

I'm an idiot.

Hmm, what else. Academically this semester didn't go well at all. I had to realize that I had to motivate myself. The scholarship is gone, so there's really nothing except myself, no 3.5, no nothing. It's harder than I thought it would be. And I took Katie's breakup WAY too hard. Oh well. So in this semester I:

1. realized that I take relationships and love much too seriously (well, I dunno, I guess this will be part of another blog),
2. got a future dream job (math teacher at a small college),
3. found out I like math more than physics, and have decided to pursue a math career, and
4. missed my family like no other.

So, in a silly blog, there is my semester. Kinda. I'll write more maybe

"My Blogger" is a shitty name

I have been thinking a lot about what it means today to be a man in society. Do I belong? Do I need to?

Meet two friends of mine.



On the left is Lindsay, on the right is Steve. Recently celebrated four years of a relationship. Awesome.

Earlier today I called Lindsay asking if she had some plans, she had nothing, so I went over her house and watched a few episodes of Arrested Development (which is hilarious, by the way). Steve came over and I was immediately the third wheel. Which I really don't quite mind (it's been a joke that Lindsay is the one third-wheeling the relationship.

Partially in attempt to weird me out, partially to continue with the joke that is it Lindsay and not I who is third-wheeling, he started putting his arms around me like he would Lindsay. But the thing is I actually enjoyed that. I felt comfortable, relaxed in his arms. For those brief moments, it was as if nothing in the world was outside of that room.

After a short while, Steve felt awkward and let go. To rub it in more, I did the same to him, to which he promptly let go and held onto Lindsay as the two of them looked back at me, jokingly.

What is going on here now? It is not like I have a sexual attraction to Steve. I reckon I just am the kind of person who just gets a lot out of actual physical contact with someone. Even small things. Trust me, they don't go unnoticed, nor are they unappreciated. Hugging someone is great. Cuddling and/or sleeping with another person is wonderful.

My question is why is physical contact perceived as pertaining to homosexuality? Are my emotions understandable? Do men typically feel this way?

I'm leaving this published for now. It'll be expanded upon later.

that one time I showered outside

Nov 20
10:47 am

I'm smiling.
I just used bottled water to take a shower outside a movie parking lot.
It was VERY cold. :)

I showered half my body at a time. Put on a towel and just did it. At least it was over 32 degrees. But you know those Sierra Mist commercials? It's kinda like that. I just poured it on me and got the soap and shampoo, made sue nobody saw me, and just went at it.

I'll find another highlight of the trip some other time. Whatever.

Google Account

Having a Google account has made my internet so much easier. This is ridiculous. Every blog (except friends-only LJ) is on one RSS reader, I have the whole of the internet at my helm. Awesome.
