is it a bad thing, in a long-distance relationship, when you've got that "what's the point, really?" feeling and as such you're reluctant to make your nightly phone call to your other?

i don't like feeling afraid, especially of my own girlfriend. or am i afriad of myself?

bollocks.

ive just had an epiphany like none other.

each one of us has a personality trait that can be either our greatest asset or our greatest flaw. for some its fierce independence, for others its a desperate innocence, but for me, ive realized tonight, its an almost fanatical dedication to logic. i dont know how to explain it, but... well, if you know me...

for some fucking reason my "Championship Manager '01-'02" isn't working again, and that sucks 'cuz i just got into a new season. oh well, i guess i'll have to actually work on stuff for school as opposed to playing games.

alright, so this morning there was like 3/4" of an inch of snow throughout London, most of which melted by 10am, and the headlines of nearly all the local papers blared some variation on CHAOS IN THE SNOW

i cant help but giggle.

today was boring, as ive grown accustomed to Sundays being. i entertained myself for the most part, decorating and reading and watching football on TV. all in all im in a decent mood, but for some reason in the last 20 minutes or so ive gotten FIERCELY homesick and it sucks. ah well... tomorrow we start classes again, and Tuesday the dorm fills back up,...

today was alright, i suppose. i woke up late (around 10), went to choir rehearsal at 11, then had a long lunch and attended Daemons at 2:30. it was quite good, especially the performance of Paul Agar as "The Creature," but i thought overall the script could use a little editing. after that a few of us went to the Cab for some drinks. i...

today was fucking cool! this morning Rodney Cottier, one of the foremost actors/stage combat directors in England, gave us a really fucking awesome lecture on Shakespeare's histories (Richard II, Henry IV pts 1 and 2, Henry V, Henry VI pts 1-3, and Richard III), explaining how they all link together, what historical inaccuracies there are, why certain characters are written the way they are,...

last night ruled.

i got to Brians around 7:30, drank some wine, bullshitted, and about 8 we all tucked into the best fucking T-day dinner ive ever had. it may not have been the biggest, it may not have been the most excellently prepared, but motherfucker it was ours, we made it, and as such it was all the sweeter. Jarrods garlic potatoes were awesome,...
