You were there in some anonymous room

I've been writing alot later, and I'm really glad that I started. I forgot how much I loved it, and I also forgot that I don't totally suck. I mean it's still pretty bad, but I'm improving and that's a start. I'm really loving my journalism class right now, and I'm beginning to think I'll stick with this major. I mean there isn't a huge difference between the journalism major and an english one so we'll see. Right now I'm working on my article about the Special Olympics, yeah it's nothing groundbreaking but I think I have a pretty good story so I'm feeling pretty confident about turning this one in. Last time I thought I did horrible, but it turns out a got a B, and it would have been an A if I had one more source. My proff said that it was a really good first effort, and that he was impressed with the subject matter I chose to write about. So maybe journalism is for me.
I've been having some really weird dreams lately, and some of them have been amazing. You know the dreams that when you wake up you're really sad that you couldn't have just stayed in the dream? Those are the worst. I mean you shouldn't feel upset that you don't live in a dream world, but sometimes I can't help it.
Today we were talking about the races in sociology and this is what one girl offered as an explination for why we look different.
"Well it was probably something to do with Pangea."
My response in my head was, "Humans weren't around in Pangea you fucking bitch."
The reason my response is so angry is that this girl and her equally stupid friends generally waste half of the class bitching about how they hate the conflict theory. In turn I get pissed off and point out why they are wrong 9 out of 10 times. I really like that class, and it's really interesting so I would rather hear the proff teach. Although, last week he heard me call them "You stupid fucktards" but he just laughed so it seems he agrees with me. I'm sure you guys can relate.

So wait for the stone on your window

Colby and I went to Taco Bell last night and ended up getting around 10 dollars worth of extra food, so it was a good night. I also got an A on my quiz in lit, and a B on a Spanish test that would have been an A if I didn't suck so bad at spelling so I'm feelin pretty good
I had a great weekend, so life is looking up right now. Brittany and Jonno chilled with the usual group on Friday, and that was great fun. Brittany has become one of my new favorite people; she's as crazy as me, and fun as hell when drunk. Saturday we went and watched rugby (Mark can't play right now cause he fucked up his shoulder) then headed to Savannah for our big date. Very good fun on that one (we actually got to eat real food) and he bought me some cool shit. Plus I got him a Fear and Loathing poster which is bad ass, and a Horrorpops t-shirt so I think we both had a good time. This weekend is gonna be the shit too, 'cause we're going to see Pan's Labrynth...yeah. Decemberists on April 6th...anyone wanna meet up in the ATL for it?

Satin in a Coffin

You know those days when it just seems like the world just wants to take a giant shit on you? Yeah, this is actually one of those days and sadly it's only nine o'clock. So the superbowl commercials sucked, but I did keep myself entertained by suggesting improvements for the game of football. What if one random player had a knife and could just shank people? Come on you know that would be awesome...I also think that the losing team should be killed.
In 2 days Mark and I will have been together for a year, and damn has it been one trippy year. We've done and experienced so much together, but it still feels like only a few weeks since we were sitting in his room listening to Tiger Army for the first time. A friend brought up and interesting point this weekend, and true he was being somewhat of a whiny bitch, but it's a point none the less. Does the length of a relationship determine it's validity? Can you experience in 3 months what it takes some couples 2 years to experience? I'm on the side that the time spent together is irrelevent and that the only thing that matters is what actually happens. I dunno I just thought it was interesting.
