I am giving up xanga.  Let's say it's for the high holy days, except it lasts forever.

Besides, I am about to hit my fourth anniversary on this webpage, and that's sort of embarassing.

Enjoy the archives, and pleasure bloggin' witchu.

HEY SCHOOL TOMORROW I HAVE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS THAN THE INTARWUBS.

VI - VII.  A.P. Physics - Dyson
VIII.  Japanese II - Kimmel

So I woke up this morning and had these awful chest pains.  I was convinced from that moment that my family history was catching up to me and I was going to have a heart attack.  I tasted copper, felt my arm shoot and my left jaw seize with pain because I believed "Yes, this is it.  Right now, don't fuck it up.  Just die gracefully."

 

But I wasn't thinking about all of the life experiences I was going to miss, or how terrified I am of facing the same medical crap that has plagued my family.  My first thought to myself was that I was going to die and everyone would think of me as some ridiculous fatass for having coronary failure before age seventeen.

 

But it's alright, the doctors say I just really fucked up some muscles around my heart.  Ow.

 

Maybe this year I'll look forward to my birthday.

I.  Sometimes I get mail during the summer.  Sometimes it contains very, very good news.

II.  Watching the World Cup is a very, very frustrating business.

III.  Today I had a college interview.  It went well, so my hopes are up, but here's the most interesting question I was asked:  "What is truth?  What is beauty?"  Any takers? 

IV.  The Electrolights played a good show at the Beat Kitchen, and are presumably doing an acoustic set now.

V.  In case you all wondered what I was studying this summer.
