I haven't seen the sun in four or five days...
now whenever it rains i walk outside. i don’t stay out of the rain; it feels just right. sentimental drunk- heart exploding with love- trying so hard to hold on. perfect moments make everything else look fake. wanna stay up forever. i’ve got a message for you: i’ve invented my own truth. i’ve got a message for you: i always walked on a path that i was told i shouldn’t...

something about watching ANTM at 2 am

flipping alternately between the still loading 土豆 video and TFLN made me break out in quiet, lonely laughter for like 5 minutes in my room.
maybe it was this bitch’s crazy french accent for no reason? (this particular shot was in the middle of an insanely accented monologue about why short girls should be able to model…she also made this poor guy go out there and tell the girls...

How I feel about my thesis
Non-Euclidean Geometry
Me: What do you think you'll get your degree in?
Dave: Topology, not sure what type.
Me: I had to look it up. Something math related, geometry. That's what Merriam-Webster says.
Dave: Sort of, different set of rules.
Me: I hate it when that happens. How can there be several different kinds of rules in math? Isn't the idea that it is the rule?
Dave: Lol. So non-euclidean geometry really fucks with your mind? Parallel lines that intersect at 90 degree angles.
Me: I don't understand how is that even possible? What the fuck is that about?
Dave: It depends on how you define a plane.
Me: Flat.
Dave: But what if you defined it as spherical?
Me: Then it would be a sphere and not a plane. This is what confuses me. So is it a definitional difference or the world can really be governed by two different sets of rules?
Dave: Redefining a plane as a sphere is tough to wrap your mind around. All it is is a different orientation towards the same world.
Me: So math isn't completely objective?
Dave: It still is. I treat it more as an exercise in seeing how different things are when you modify your assumptions.
Me: So can both of these geometries exist simultaneously or are they mutually exclusive?
Dave: Mutually exclusive.
Me: Ok that makes me feel a little better.
Dave: You can only have one orientation towards the world at once.
Me: But which on is right?!
Dave: Lol. They are both right, as in neither is wrong.

One tough nut to crack
Emma: The key is getting dad to feel bad. I gave him the sad face. You should give him the sad face. Make dad feel bad! Tell him you miss your only sister.
Me: I love this what you are saying. I will try. Dad is a tough nut to crack though.
Emma: Okay, yes, we will both work on Dad but we should be careful not to say the same thing exactly.
Me: Yes, what will you be saying?
Emma: Mm I will be say Daddy but I am so lonely and it will be my birthday by myself and I have no lady friends here. What will you be saying?
Me: I will say daddy I am so lonely here and I will be having the thanksgiving all by myself when it could be with my lovely sister. I also would like to see the place of my ancestors insert sad eyes. Emma would like to see me too, I think, and we will not go shopping too much.
Emma: Hehe but we will but I will bargain so it will be ok.
Me: Yes yes I know we will but he won't let us if we don't.
Emma: Tell him how frugal we can be. I know. : )

If this isn't nice, what is?
My late Uncle Alex Vonnegut, my father’s kid brother, a Harvard-educated life insurance agent in Indianapolis who was well read and wise, was a humanist like all the rest of the family. What Uncle Alex found particularly objectionable about human beings in general was that they so seldom noticed it when they were happy.

Worse than that time we had no tickets to get back...
Me: I see lots of other planes zooming around.
Christine: That's silly that they can go but you can't.
Me: I know, there's goes a delta one and a frontier one. Zoom!...I've been awake for a while.
Christine: I can't tell.
