I probably won't do the copy and paste thing.  sometimes I'll write here, sometimes I'll write there.  but probably I'll be writing there for the most part.

So.....Josh is moving away.  Whatever.  Maybe this is a sign to really get over him.  To really move on.  Weird thing is, I was actually really close to being over him, rigth after I'd decided to work things out, and then he's moving away so I fell back into missing him all over again.  I'm just really curious as to how, why, when, where and with whom.  1. he has no car/money so the only way he could really do it is if he went with all his friends somewhere.  2. Why?  I don't really have any guesses.  Just maybe that he's moving away because I showed up again?  3. It sounds like he's moving far away.  But maybe to columbus?  That would be awesome.  But I doubt it.  It sounds like he's moving really far away.  4. With whom is just kind of assuming that the only way he'd be able to move away is by going with friends.

Maybe it's time to consider exploring other options.

I'm convinced that my roommate no longer goes to class.  I NEVER see her go to class.  I wake up, I go to class, I come home, she's still in bed.  WEIRD!  She probably thinks the same about me sometimes.

I hope I'm never in a relationship where there is no affection and the other person treats me like an idiot.  I'll go crazy.  Although when I make these little observations I have to stop and think "Well don't worry about it too much, you're single and it doesn't look like that's going to change soon."

Philosophy class is testing my patience.  Plato's noble lie = Telling children they're born with a certain type of soul and that they can't and should not want to be anything other than what they are born to be (a ruler, warrior or worker).  So then we started discussing the new "noble lie" of telling children that they can be whatever they want to be.  "That's horrible!"  "We shouldn't tell our children that!"  "Not everybody can be president!"  Yeah you guys are right.  Let's tell our children to never aspire to be greater than their parents.  You want to be president?  I wouldn't bother if I were you.  You want to invent something great?  Like *you* could do it.  Just stay put.  Be content.  Settle for less.  Come to terms with the fact that you will never be better off than you are now.  Fuck you, socialism.  Fuck you, communism.  Fuck you, Plato.  The whole time I've been reading The Republic I've been thinking that Plato must've been leading them all into a trap.  And that he was going to scream at some point "YOU FOOLS!!!  HOW COULD YOU AGREE WITH WHAT I JUST SAID?!"  And that they would be shown how what they've been describing is ridiculous.  Unfortunately, Plato really believes this bullshit.  That each person should never strive to rise out of his/her class.  That everything should be censored and we should train warrior children from a young age.  That you have a job, and you  never do anything other than your job because that would take away from you ability to do that job.  I'm so disappointed.  I hate Plato so much.

This is from an article on why we should ban couches on porches:

"I've heard the arguments for allowing this furniture to stay -- that it's
comfortable and cheap, that banning it is elitist or infringes on personal
rights -- but I think those reasons hardly hold up against the safety
hazards presented by allowing the couches to remain."

No.  Never is passing a law and/or ordinance that infringes on personal rights ok.  I agree,  porch couches are DUMB.  If your house burns all to hell.  FINE!  You have a rat problem?  Sorry about your luck.  Yes, a landlord could easily make that a rule for the home/apt he is renting out, but pass a law?!  GIVE ME A BREAK!  How fucked up is that?  "I don't know, they say it like infringes on their rights or whatever...Like I care."  I can't even fully express how angry this makes me.  You'd think that I like furniture on porches or something.  Which I would like to state that I hate BUT it is every person's right to put a couch on his/her porch if he/she so desires.
