me: are you really upset about this? i'm sorry if it's going to cause a problem...
Travis: IM FURIOUS!
i just feel like
if you say you're bringing the chips and dips then you should bring them on time
everyone knows that a good party needs chips and dips
what are people supposed to do while the hotdogs cook?
look at eachother?
talk to one anyother?
NO YEARGAN
they EAT
the chips and dips
.
me: i'm not coming anymore. you can find your own CHIPS AND DIPS
Travis: GOOD becaus ei already told you
the party is off
Im not having a party with out chips and dips
and
well
looks like you're the pooper
me: that's right blame me. i am the reason the new world sucks
Travis: YOU ARE
and you stupid chips and dips
you haven't heard it yet
but Obama actually said that you were disappointing in his address
he said he was expecting a great party but there is no party without chips and dips
and its because people have given up
they've given up on the things in life that used to be firm
and real
and expected
like chips and dips at a party
they
ve
given up on the notion that for one to enjoy ones self
they need some chips
and some dips
and they need them before the hot dogs are finished
because with out them
what is the nation supposed to do?
stand around with their thumbs up their butts?
now i know you think that sounds fun
and i wont lie and say i don't either
but its not RIGHT
its not what you dooo at a party
at a party you stand
and you eat the chips and dips while someone fixes the hot dogs
not thumbs steph,
not absense
not anything but the social responsibility to provide
to provide the thing that every sees as a staple to what right and acceptable and
right.
the bottom line is
that im right
and you're not
and if you don't bring the chips and dips then there is nothing right in this world anymore
we can throw away all those ideals we hold so dear
like being right
and doing what i say
and world peace and shit
because with out you bring me MY GOD GIVEN RIGHT to chips and dips at a party theres nothing left for me to do but give the feck up.
I give up
im done with it all
me: GOOD. move to canada.
but i doubt they will even have chips and dips there.
Travis: thats the problem
and thats why i've decided to send you there
me: good. i'm gonna become BFFs with feist and kevin drew
Travis: because thats the problem and you're a problem and you should go there
me: and alanis morissette
Travis: doubtful
once they told me they were only friends with people because they ALWAYS brought around chips and dips
and i'll tell them that you didn't
and don't
me: as if YOU are friends with them.
Travis: and that you're a huge biatch
AS IF IM NOT!
anyway
im going to go
see you 7:30 with chips and dips
me: yeah you do that. go. go cry some more
Travis: oh i might be crying
but not as hard as you will be when i kick you in the cooch later
me: you won't be seeing me. i'll be hanging out with ryan gosling and crystal castles and emily haines in toronto.
Travis: listen steph
whatever
its whatever

NPR gets me so emotional

i love that my friends give a shit about what's going on in the world. they watch the news, they read the paper, they pay attention to things. and best of all, they cry on their drive to work in the morning because of something they listen to on NPR.

i was sort of surprised (even though i shouldn't have been) to see how many people put up anti-inauguration statuses on facebook. god, i love those passive aggressive statuses; they really put people in their place, don't you think? i don't care if you're a conservative republican who is sure "this is the beginning of the end," at least acknowledge how huge today is.

today marks the start of a new semester. back to early mornings at the law library and lots and lots and lots of sociology. i think this one will be different from the last. very different. but we'll see.

ya need help, ya need help, ya neeed HELP

"Mom says she talks to crows. They protect her yard. Watch over her. Adrian and I laugh it off. Dinner at mom's is never boring. But today I realized I do the same thing, sort of. About squirrels. When I stop and watch them. I feel like nobody else sees them the way I do. Nobody pays attention. Worse, I feel like they know. Like they appreciate my understanding. Why is it crazy for her and okay for me?"

hehe

i'll harps your accord

it's been a while. the holiday season has come and gone with minimal amounts of damage; much to be thankful for.

new year's was fun in its own, unique sort of way (from what i can remember). marcus and i have no power against peer pressure and will likely become homeless alcoholics within a year.

i appreciate having friends who can indulge my completely unwarranted pretentious side (i will buy those fancy gardening tools, if only to stare at them). there are SO many cool things to do and places to go in houston (inside the loop, of course).

need to cancel my cable. i have never watched this much tv in my life and the toll it has taken on my level of brain functionability (see, that's not even a word) is noticeable.

check out austintownhall.com. not sure if this person (people) have any connection to town hall at a&m, but i met one of the creators/bloggers/writers/whatever, and he's a cool guy. less pretentious and cynical than pitchfork, and doesn't freeze my computer. if you hate it and think he's a douche, that's cool too. just thought i would give it a shameless plug for the 2 (imaginary) people that may read this.

my new year's resolution is to take up drinking more coffee everyday and not cut back on cigarettes at all. i think i'll be able to keep it, yeah?



don't think i could get sick of this if i tried.
