I haven't updated in a while. Oops. This whole journal thing is way more appealing when I have work I should be doing, but my work is pretty much done for the semester. I went to Naples to see Shayle and then she left for Europe on Friday. We're going to go to the Grand Canyon, we agreed. I am completely crushing out on her. She is, like, the person I've been waiting my whole life to meet. Really.
I feel lonely a lot lately, and a little sad because there are all these things I want to do and no one who's willing to do them with me. I miss having adventuring hippie friends. I might get a cool job this summer and meet some new people. People who, you know, like to backpack and stuff.
Ever since my roommate suggested that I might be synesthetic, I've been trying to think of ways that was true, other than how I see numbers and letters and days of the week as colors, and time as having form. I wish it was true, certainly, true for everything like how you read about, and I could taste paintings and smell music. Although now that I think about it, synethesia might be what compels me to eat, like, sand and flowers and things. We can talk more about this if you're curious, I'm not doing a very good job of explaining anything, I realize.
I want a tattoo of a penguin, a kayak, a pet hedgehog and a stripper pole in my room. I want a house, not too big and definitely not too new, with a porch overlooking the mangroves where I can have coffee and look at birds. I want there to be watercress in the grocery store every time I go. I want to eat cantelope naked with my hands every day for the rest of my life...

I think hedgehogs make poor pets. I think they lack any sort of domestic inclinations? But they are spikey I don't know much about synethesia, but it's very new college of you to even be thinking about it. That's not the sort of thing the rest of society really discusses, outside of maybe phenomenology. though it should have some interesting applications. I would love to hear more about it sometime and how you differeniate between high degrees of "simple" or unconscious association. I'd have to read up on it a bit more though. I too desire a kayak, but since I can rent them from USF anytime it's not immediately neccessary.
