Indecision
I really hate myself for not being able to make a definite choice about what I want to get my Bachelor’s Degree on.
It’s basically between
Enology (Winemaking) and Music Composition
For this, hopefully I For this, hopefully I
would go to Cornell would go to Juilliard
I think that I would love to do both, and both of the schools that I want to go are really...
If I had a big mountain with a chairlift, I would buy an Airboard. It’s the greatest sled ever, and it’s just as good as skiing, except you don’t have to stand, or worry about not being able to get control on ice, etc. They are a tad overpriced — it would seem, since they are just sleds.
Come check out the pitiful pictures I took on the... →

True.

Marley and Me is a terrible movie. It is one of the few movies I have left and not been like, “Wow. That was great.” It did nothing for me. The acting was good, but the whole story, plot, etc. was just no good.

Then why are you going?

I don’t know how people can have underage parties with drinking, and get away with it.
Their parents musn’t really care…?
I don’t know how people get away with it either. Who was it?
They are having a party for Laura at her dad’s house, and they state in the info: “There will be alcohol.” And I also gather from the info that Laura’s...

When we go to NYC to see Yo-Yo Ma, I get to pick out where we go to eat. I got a Zagat NYC book for Christmas, and I have been perusing it these past two days. The highest rated restaurant for food is called Per Se. It’s a very expensive restaurant unfortunately, but it makes sense, since they only serve 1 nine-course meal every day (I mean they only create 1 9-course meal every day,...

If you need something to convince you or your partner to use a condom, read Slam by Nick Hornby. I got it for Christmas. It scared the shit out of me. It’s a pretty decent book otherwise. I liked Submarine by Joe Dunthorne. It’s a bit more interesting, but it doesn’t have a strong lesson like the former book.
Use condoms…always.
Lend me your ears
Today I bought some Bose Earbuds for my iPod. They are amazing. I think that they are a much better buy than the Quietcomfort noise-canceling headphones, which cost 3.5 times more.
Unless a lack of ambient noise is important to you. $350 worth of important.
I have to say that I had a good christmas, except for all the medium t-shirts that I got from my relatives, even though I must have mentioned a dozen times that I am a large. I just spent $60 on the iTunes store in the past hour. None of the stuff was impulse purchases, I’ve been shopping around for the last three months.
I don’t mind that the gift opening doesn’t last very...
I have to say, I did a rather good job predicting what I’d get for Christmas.
I got the Babolat Tennis Racquet I wanted, the 4th Volume of the James Bond Box Sets — Now I own them all, except Quantam of Solace. I got some t-shirts and underwear, socks, some books.
I got tickets to see Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble at Lincoln Center on June 6th. I told you I’d get...
Ugh. I did some leg extensions on Saturday, and since then, my legs have become tighter and tighter, and I am having trouble walking properly. It’s really windy today, so the snow is drifting onto our driveway, which I just cleaned yesterday. I also really like my bus driver. She reminds me a lot of my aunt, both with looks and personality. One more agonizing day of school left, and...
It stopped snowing. That is very sad. I haven’t gone out yet to snowblow, so I can’t say exactly how much we got. I am going to estimate 20 inches.
I take that back. I guess Isolde is the anglicised spelling. Iseult is the French.
It’s still snowing here. This is the longest period of snowfall I have ever witnessed.
My mom, jokingly, said that the people who do not believe in global warming have this snow machine that they are shooting at us, so we stop believing that global warming is occuring.
Today I have to write and essay on a book we read a couple weeks ago when I was sick (I missed the in-class essay). It’s for Tristan and Iseult — I prefer the french (I am pretty sure it’s french) spelling, Isolde, but that’s what the cover of the book says. I suppose I could be considered a Francophile sometimes. It’s a really good story, by the way.
We just...
Well, my cell phone still works. I think that if I had gone through the dryer too, it wouldn’t work. I tried sticking it in the fridge to get the water out of the screen area, but that didn’t work, so I am just going to let it sit next to the computer for a couple days. I don’t really care that there’s water in the screen, I’d much rather have a working phone, so I...

I went to the school’s Snowball Dance earlier this evening. I have no idea why I go to dances. I always get annoyed by all of the drunk people, feel like a slut afterwards, and get bored by the grinding with boys. It’s so tiresome to grind. I also ended up kissing one of my friends, Tucker, and his mouth tasted so much like tequila, which he drank before getting there. Then I decided...
I don’t think that I ever gave Casey Affleck credit for his role as Robert Ford in the Assassination of Jesse James. If his role qualifies as best actor — if it doesn’t, then best supporting actor, he deserves to be nominated, as much as Brad Pitt, but even more? I don’t know. Brad Pitt is a veteran, so he would be more likely to win.
Death and Dying
Today was the funeral. As I predicted, the service was terribly boring. Apparently my great uncle was in the Air Force, and there were some men from the Air Force, who wrapped up the service, who took the flag off the coffin, and folded it up, saluted the casket, etc. and then gave the flag to my great aunt. That was the most moving thing I’ve ever witnessed. I actually cried.
My great...
The Meaning of Life - Part VII: Death
So today I went to the wake of my mother’s aunt’s husband. I didn’t really want to go. I don’t like seeing people who’ve just lost somebody. I can’t handle crying people that well. It makes me uncomfortable. His death was neither sudden or unexpected. He had been suffering from Alzheimer’s for quite some time. It is such an unfortunate disease...

Today we left school early because of the snow. When we were leaving, there was a car crash right outside the school. It’s snowing really hard now. I went outside to take some pictures a little while ago. I love the snow so much. I would play in it if I had better pants for that stuff.
Snow :)

We had two inches of snow today. That merited us a 2hr delay. The school day goes by much faster that way. After I woke up this day, I watched The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. That’s is the best acting I’ve ever seen Brad Pitt do. It was beautiful. I love the way it was shot, and the colors, how they were very plain and sterile. The music is good too. ...

Apparently, I’m a huge tease.
But onto better things, today, in English class, a girl, Sophie, brought in water balloons and she was trying to blow them up. Many sexual innuendos later, we (Sophie, Pat, and I) had five balloons blown up.
Tonight is the snow day make-up for the school’s chorus concert, in which I will be singing. We will be singing “Festival Sanctus (sp?)” “Lo yisa...

Well, I think she’s very pretty, and I also like her body (that includes her breasts — she doesn’t like that word though, so Boobs, in regards to her Boobs post and my response). I don’t like thin girls. I also liked how outgoing she was, and how SHE took the initiative to start our “relationship,” because I don’t think I would have. Once I got to know...
I wish people would post more frequently.

Blah.
I hate how I can’t think of anything good to blog about lately.
Any suggestions?
P.S. the reason that the last post only said, “BOOBS.” was because my friend, Greg, thought it wasn’t right to use the word “boobs” in a blog format.
I don’t think that sexual slang is appropriate for blogs that are viewable by people we don’t know, who may be offended by the...
My secret christmas present could also be really good tickets to see Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble at Lincoln Center in June.
It's a Bummer
When I have like 5 conversations going on with people on Facebook for like a week, and then they stop. I feel like nobody’s around, or I am on withdrawal or something.
