(205): Why are my keys in the refrigerator? (1-205): You said “This is gonna really confuse me tomorrow.” Apparently drunk you plays pranks on hungover you. (205): This explains so much.

I’m not one to post information about India that is purposefully economizing on Western stereotypes of the country. I’m very conscious of how I present this country to which I feel so connected with.
But I recognize that there is much work to be done. There are a lot of mindset changes required in some places. I’ve been lucky, I won’t lie. My family is and always has been...
What is it about a guy that can make a girl lose her mind? Luckily, I’m not talking about myself. But I have had four of my, at one point or another closest, friends act like aliens from another galaxy — not even our own Milky Way.
I blame Shakespeare for such romantic delusions. Romeo and Juliet, after all, is commonly considered the most romantic story in history! Tragic romances...

iPad sounds like a feminine hygeine product, and I don’t think I’m down with spending $900 on a device which won’t be functional with half of my work documents. Ahh. I’m trying to make excuses why I need this, but aside from iBook (which might not even be compatible with my pirated PDFs), I can’t think of anything.
I think it’s still a pretty awesome product, and I do...

(314): i knew it was time to break up with him once he pulled out the Halo foreplay costumes
This may or may not actually turn me on. ;o) Halo. One and only of many weaknesses.

Mahi. Mahi, Mahi, Mahi. You make me feel like a very unoriginal person — overweight and dreaming of love and success? And here I thought I was the only one. (Just kidding. Sort of.)
But then you tell your grandmother, “Anyways, what’s the benefit in dreaming if nothing actually happens in reality?”
Maybe one day I’ll be more optimistic and disagree with her line,...

Love
Love
Socrates’ speech on love in the Symposium—arguing that love is merely a longing for immortality and ideas are immortal—is just a conceit of the intellectual. I prefer Aristophanes’ speech, imagining a world in which humans were once four-armed, four-legged, and two-headed balls who tumbled around doing cartwheels, each one split in two and yearning to find their other...

It was about two hours after midnight on September 20, 1881, and not unusual for the resident of 123 Lexington Avenue in New York City to be up at such a late hour, or to have plenty of guests. In fact, he preferred to keep late hours, entertaining friends deep into the night with late-night dinners, drinks, and endless conversation. Yet, on this night, 123 Lexington Avenue...

Theodore Roosevelt was a shooting star — 5’8” of barely controlled frenzy. An energetic workaholic, familyaholic, and lifeaholic who lived every day of his relatively short life to its fullest and savored each and every battle throughout 60 busy years on Earth. As Thomas Riley Marshall, Woodrow Wilson’s Vice President, said, “Death had to take Roosevelt while he was sleeping,...

I’m reblogging this again, just because I’ve been trying it out today. But let me actually start before today.
I’ve never thought that I have terribly low self-esteem. But for a very, very long time, there were ways in which I used to think I could better myself. (In fact, I still do. Isn’t that what self-improvement and development is all about?) Sometime in early high...
sexismandthecity:
The next time you are out walking in a public place, try this: Look directly into the eyes of each person you pass. You don’t have to stare. Just make brief eye contact. Then look down at the ground as you walk past. Repeat this a few times.
Next, try looking at people, then looking away—not down, just away. Keep your eyes on the same level and look at something else. I don’t...

I love you, and I miss you.
But my academic life = mucho FML. Not to mention that the wireless in my dorm is so shitty that it is not. even. working. I will be back soon-o, hopefully, and with some great, new stuff. (Perhaps real stuff?)
