1. I really have to stop making things more difficult for myself.

2. I am considering going to see a counselor regarding this self-destructive behavior.

3. Somewhere, Will is reading this and screaming, "HYPERRRRRBOLEEEEEEEEE!"

4. I have agreed to housesit for Marina, who trusts me enough, apparently, to leave her car with [a license-less] me and entrust me with the welfare of her dog and cat. So...next week...forget finals. Can you say, 'HOUSE PARTY?"

5. The year is as good as over. It kinda snuck up on me. I was looking at some MSW programs a few days ago and I have come to the conclusion that regardless of whether or not I take classes this summer, I am going to have to stay a full four years to get into a decent program. It's mostly the last 60 credit hours that count, right? So if I do a real kick ass job junior and senior year, it will be like the first two never happened! Magic!

6. Mr. Segal, one of my HS English teachers, is a daddy.

7. I burned myself twice last night. I think I'm going to have yet another burn scar, a new one on the knuckle of my left middle finger to join the barely visible one on my right wrist and the positively heinous one on the base of my right thumb.

8. Russell greatly enjoyed the dessert I made and has assured me that yes, it was cooked all the way through and no, he has no come down with salmonella poisoning, although it's really too early to tell.

9. I saw Russell in a SHORT ROBE.

10. And apparently, I have the cooties now? I haven't had cooties since elementary school. And even then it was only a minor case and it happened only once, by way of trasnference from an unpopular girl that I accidentally touched. I will have to write more later on this, my primary school days, when I ruled the schoolyard, or at least the swingset in the schoolyard.

11. and also I must write and establish my position on the use of the word "gay" as an adjective. maybe. this might get me in trouble again.

12. okay, later. later. now for some lunch.
