- Locking Nathan and Kylie in "the closet" and barricading the door with speakers blasting Marvin Gaye.
- The morning I woke up to Thomas yelling at Nathan for mistaking Thomas' storage container for a waste bin and clipping his toenails all over Thomas' choir materials.
- Weirdbeard's damn milk. Nearly killed me.
- Mack and me being super sleuths and figuring out the entire trail of assassins, all the while Mack kicked ass and I forgot the game existed until Mack had to kill me. I accidentally killed her by tripping in my attempt to run from her, stabbing her in the process.
- Being branded as "The naked guy" in my anthropology class for running into an exam ten minutes late, having blown it off for the cross country team's annual The Nak...

- Pimp out The ACP with javascript and new writers.
- Teach a homeless person how to write.
- Top that one time. That one epic time.
- Run the Tough Mudder, come hell or high water (most likely both, during the race actually).
- Maybe confront some people, if that's not too much trouble. But you know, no pressure.
- Slowly delete all unfavorable content from that which would come up on a Google search for my name. Employers look at this stuff!
- Think a little harder about the Peace Corps.
- Apply to Columbia again. Going is one thing, but getting in for the second time is pretty important.
dec 27 2010 ∞ jan 1 2012 +
- Jumping out of the car and spinning around in circles on Beall Ave, and feeling like I was finally home again.
- E1 redefining words like "distracted," forcing me to forever use them in the context of relationship ridiculousness.
- The slow but sneaky climb up the English major ladder - sniping a copy editor job at the Voice; which got me to Elizabeth Druga, EIC of the Goliard, which got me a job there; which got me to Jackie Hunter, which got me in on the Dodge.
- The first time I had five jobs, the terrifying yet empowering feeling of knowing I was and could do it all. (Mom's, PEC, Voice, Goliard, Dodge)
- Using all of my meal swipes at Java Hut and then getting "reimbursed" in Cross Country funding for meals I missed during meets (in other words, eating for free and getting paid to run when the school thoug...

- Annoying Jonah over Facebook
- Eating a huge meal and falling asleep afterward

- I was the catalyst for Jared Steed's four years of racial slurs. "No really," I told Jared, "I don't mind Asian jokes. Make all the jokes you want." Oh, how naive I was...
- Before I met Nathan and Jonah, during orientation one of them scaled the wall of McGaw in one epic leap. Not wanting to be upstaged by his twin, the other did the same. I was confused, and very impressed that this mysterious person could get down so quickly and do it again in such a short amount of time.
- Cup your index and thumbs into a triangle. That is the symbol for Annex Love.
- Nathan introduced himself, then offered me cookies. He asked me how many I wanted, and before I could answer, he said "Because, if you take too few you're denying my hospitality, but if you take too many you're taking advantage of me." Shocked at...
jul 7 2010 ∞ jul 8 2010 +
- If you eat Life cereal every day, you will live forever.
- Everyone has a twin. Some are just separated at birth.
- I got my name because of pica.
- Somewhere in the universe, the letters of the alphabet exist outside of our drawings and writing, and we use them for language because they were cool people/creatures. K was the most energetic, and C was the depressed mopey one, overshadowed by K in every way. I'm pretty sure this belief came from a cartoon that I thought was real, but I'm not sure.
- I can fly if I practice long enough.
- Mom really will break her back if I step on a crack (it's absurd how far out of my way I went with this one).
- Every video game character exists in a universe outside ours. They're stars, like actors. They don't like dying.
