Nick's moving into a house tomorrow with Ben, Katti, Oliver, Jim (Katti and Oliver's friend) and some guy with a ponytail (presumably also their friend).

Ben's out of town until Tuesday so I don't know when he'll move in.

Nick took me by the house the other day and I've seen pictures of the inside so I'm really excited.

We're going to paint his room. I love painting.

The house is on Madison and Cherry (I think) and it's right by Aquinas so I might be over there a lot.

Anyway, I'm going to help him out tomorrow with moving stuff in and all that jazz. Today, I helped him clean out his car and my parents and I took him shopping. My parents are so nice, they paid for half the things he bought.

My mom's worried about him being out on his own.

I love you all.

Katie:
Jhonen apparently stopped by Penny Arcade's booth at Comic Con and drew them something in their World of Warcraft themed sketchbook.

I am happy because it is of a warlock.

Yesterday my parents went out early and looked at cars. (They also went to Little Bohemia but I'm sore about that so we'll move on. :p)

They found this 11 year old one that they wanted me to try out. It was actually pretty nice and I liked it.

But I will say nothing else because I will jinx it.

I love you all.

She thought Katie cut up her arm and took a picture of it. Katie, that's a compliment, that means it looks real!

And I think she's kind of cool, I kind of like her.

Also, it means the discussion is over and the argument has been resolved.

I hope she sees it that way. I love you, whomever you are, I did not mean any ill toward you. It was all in the defense of my best friend and I apologize.

To all women:
I've had really bad cramps all day. The kind where you can't move and feel like you want to pass out/throw up.

My mom found this heating pad stick-on thing. And it's awesome. It works great!

So it's either go on the pill or use these things. Depending on the cost, I might stick with these.

I love you all.

Delicious quotes from Chuck Palahniuk's "Haunted"
"I used to think the secret to a happy ending was to bring down the curtain at the exact right time. A moment after happiness, then everything's all wrong again."

"The difference between how you look and how you see yourself is enough to kill most people."

"Americans are the world's best at doing their work. And studying and competition. But we suck when it comes time to relax; there's no profit, no trophy."

And this last one is from a great book/essay about how current pop culture is actually making us smarter instead of dumbing us down: "Everything Bad is Good for You" by Steven Johnson

"Out of obsession comes expertise, a confidence in your own powers of analysis -- a sense that is you stick with the system long enough you'll truly figure out how it works."

Nick has his open house today at 2 if some of you didn't know. He'll have a bonfire later on too, if you just want to come for that.

I'm a lot calmer the past few days than I should be. What's up with that?

Does anbody have any life-changing books I should read? I'm overdue.

Hey guys, does anybody remember Cock Day? Because I don't. Seriously, I can't remember the reference :-( Break out the quote book, stat!

I know this has to be some kind of Catholic blasphemy and I'm going to spend years in purgatory for it but...
I don't really like the new Pope.



P.S. A spider just crawled on my hand and I freaked out.

Wrote all this at work today:

"This whole NYC process was supposed to be about me becoming completely independent, function fully on my own. Instead, it has become a lesson in learning how to rely on others for their guidance and emotional support. Put simply, it's made me realize that for all I've ever done to try and do things on my own, that stubborness may have made things needlessly harder on myself. It's a screwed up time to realize a thing like that, I know, but for some reason, I've always been the sort of "don't it always seem to go/that you don't know what you got 'til it's gone" type of personality."

"Maybe this transition will work because it will force me to lose the very thing that has been keeping my psyche in chains for so long now: control. Perhaps by giving up my narrow repetoire of reacting to the world and forcing myself to adapt to new surroundings, I will break down the barriers that have held me back in the past. Over the years I have carved myself a very confined zone of comfort, and by choosing to release that comfort I am putting myself through one of the greatest trials of my life, but also engaging one of the greatest opportunities to enrich it."
