Someone has actually been stealing my things including: all of my schoolbooks and one mexican poncho. I swear to god, if I’m not being stalked by scientologists this time, Lord knows what’s happening. if it’s not scientologists it’s definitely the UPS man but they’re really one and the same. 6 and one .5 dozen of the other, they say. so, i’ve started watching my back. i’m watching it, ewe tea. watching it real hard. but i know this much is true: strange things are bound to happen on the j.j. pickle research campus.

it’s almost FEB which is a great month, i love months, if there were a website where people could have online profiles and list their favorite things one of mine would be MONTHS. also whales, feathers and horses but those go w/o saying.

Time to drop my semesterly class. I always feel guilty doing this, but whatever! it’s texas. it’s my gerd-givern rAIght. GOV 310L: txs gov’t has got to go. my original professor for this class ruined his chances on the very first day when he used the word “sexified” three times. I switched to another section in which the professor, an ex-tobacco lobbyist, yelled his lectures in monotone. that’s fine. but then he sent out and e-mail and it was all in caps lock. too. soon. summmmmmmer schoooooooool

threw my iPod against a wall today and it broke into a million little pieces, which is also an amazing book by james frey that basha smolen loved.

I’ve been having some Second Thoughts! this is not new, but it’s terrible all the same. Also, Regrets. Nothing heavy, just like, 2 grapefruits is .5 grapefruit too many.

The art of socialization. I am not naturally a socialite but with some elbow grease and chapstick one can easily click her heels into the more obscure echelons of our society. such has been the trend of this here winter break as i stayed awake past midnight for three nights in a row not to drink hot water and read the new york times online education supplement but to go clubbing with my dear cousin. through clubbing i did not learn much about the world but i did learn that i have an uncanny ability for attracting inordinately strange men from places like australia and the bushes behind shake shack in madison square park. i already knew about this ability from experiences at the whole foods salad bar in austin tex and the Web site craigslist.org, but it was fun to have it reiterated in a fancy environment where real-live celebrities and power players sometimes eat and drink and listen to songs. you can really learn a lot about yourself through clubbing, as long as you pull a tom wolfe and wear something weird and abstain from alcohol. it sounds difficult but it’s worth it. my clubbing days are over now because i have a strong head cold but they were fun while they lasted.
