Yet another failed (miserably failed) attempt at broadening my social horizons. This time it was meeting K’s newly-acquired circle of friends under the pretenses that we would all hang out and have fun.
Heh.

Let me tell you about Suicide Dog. Suicide Dog is one of UR’s less mangy but more manic-depressive campus dogs. It spends its days pacing back and forth and back and forth in front of the E. Bruce waiting for cars to whiz by.

When did you realize that boys and girls have different private parts? I figured things out when I was four and watched my mom change my brother’s diaper. We were talking about this tonight at Le Chateau de Waff (The Waffle House) and Gibbs said that she thought that boys had Ken-doll smoothness until she was 10 and a sixth grader flashed his big-bad boyliness on the playground.

I’m in a good mood. I’ve actually been a good mood since I got back from winter break. Shocking, I know. People visited our room and I felt like I had friends. I still dislike (notice the omittance of the word HATE–my mother would be oh-so-proud of me) the same things about this school that I’ve written about a bizillion times but I’m trying to focus on good things.

So I’ve published two editorials in The Collegian. The first, “Living with the burden of being the ‘Second Best-looking’ Student Body” (UR was runner up to Denison University, a school I’d never heard of before) got a lot of attention because it was funny.
