Guys.  How do people survive on so little sleep?  Juniors, to me, are superhuman.  People in our grade who either live 3 hours away and wake up at 5 or who get up early for sports whilst staying out late for the same reason are demigods.  I get 5 hours of sleep one night and I feel like shit the whole next day, despite coffee-induced hyperactivity and the like.  What the fuck am I going to do next year?

Also- LOST HOLY SHIT.  HOLY SHIT LOST.  HOLY LOST SHIT.  WHAT THE FUCK.

The Entry I Shouldn't Be Writing (Since When Do Entries Have Titles)

This entry should not exist.

I have a major project outline due tomorrow, and at least 4 pages of some notorious Kagan readings (which I know will put me to sleep if I do it tonight or tomorrow on the train), and I unfortunately let my father in on these sad consequences of procrastination, so for once in my life a parent is bugging me to do homework.

Nonetheless, life has got me wondering: is there anything more important than romance?  Let's take that word and remove from it all the lace and waltzes and candlelit dinners and roses and such, and just let it describe relationships, that are not platonic, and are potentially sexual.  This may just seem like a hormonally-charged rant typical of the 16 year old teenage girl.  But step back, pretend you don't know me, or imagine me as the 45 year old, married with kids woman I secretly am on the inside (hah).  As teens, practically everything we talk about revolves around sex, dating, boys, girls- it's not just an easy topic for discussion, it's how we relate to one another, largely because it is most of what we think about throughout the day.  Especially in the spring, everything I do besides thinking about or pursuing relationships just seems like a means of distraction, and these means are rapidly failing me as far as stopping me from thinking about it goes.  Maybe it's just the pollin.

Still I'm asking you people, do you think in 10 years we'll be any different?  Probably a little less desperate for sex, probably having a few more real relationships than the "average" two week fling that our Health teachers tell us are normal and stupid.  But will things still center on finding a decent relationship, or worse, finding a spouse?  Does the world itself revolve around marriage, mating and ultimately reproduction?  Are jobs, volunteer work, extracurriculars, sports teams, parents, sisters, brothers, best friends all just major distractions implemented by the forces of nature to make us less desperate and somewhat more attractive to potential mates?

PS- it's time for me to watch The Little Mermaid again.  But with that certain someone. 

OH EIGHT IS GREAT.  It's tres exciting to see everyone steppin' up and filling the roles that the peeps above us used to.

PS- did you know you can edit ANY PAGE on wikipedia to say whatever you want it to?  They change it back really fast but for a while it works...

PPS-  I have a good [racist] joke, come find me if you wanna hear it.

Did you know sushi is the most wonderful type of Asian food in existence?

Today my best friends snuck into my house (with assistance from the parents) and sang happy birthday to me with a cake and 17 candles (one for good luck), which we took to my garden and ate in the beautiful spring weather whilst tossing our cell phones around.  Then we bought sushi at the local sushi place and took it up to my friend's roof, and had a tar beach picnic.  Definitely the best way to spend a Sunday afternoon, definitely the best one I've had in a while.

Once again...go look outside, the weather is so incredibly gorgeous, you actually can walk around in just a sweater (though two shirts underneath is advised). 

PS Dr PM should READ books before he comes up with essay questions instead of sparknoting it, because none of his assignments are relevant or thought-provoking.  And even though we don't have class till Wednesday he's making us hand it in tomorrow.  WHAT?
