You (2)
Have become such a great person, since the high school meanness, and the college drugs.
Are the one I feel safe around, the one I call when I need to work through things.
Are really happy with a girl you’ve been dating for years, and
I feel like I won’t ever be able to tell you how much I love you.

I had another great day.
Love my duet - song is funny and I sound great singing it.
I heard about an utter dream job today, and may try to look into it as a plan B if DOJ is iffy.
And polo prom was rescheduled. So I might ask [LRH] again… I KNOW, but I’m not going to get all wishy washy if he can’t/doesn’t want to go.
Because I’m heading to the gym because...
Unexpectedly
I’ve been bummed about this kid that can’t go to polo prom with me anymore.
But three things have happened in the past 24 hours that make me feel much better about it:
I got a solo in our Libel Show (a comedy revue for our law school), I’m going to start doing P90X once a friend of mine bootlegs me a copy, and I’ve asked someone else to polo prom (let’s call him...
You
Wear the same three flannel shirts on a rapid rotation.
Are a self-proclaimed bastard.
Bailed on our date.
Were at the gym when I wanted to sweat out my frustration with you.
Are not good enough for me.
But you’re an itch I can’t seem to keep myself from scratching.
Unfortunately unavailable 2 might be available
He invited me to day drink with him on thursday. And we’re book swapping tomorrow. Roomie thinks I should employ some subliminal message shit, to gauge his interest/intent. I’m thinking Invisible Cities by Calvino, which is totally about love more than it’s about fictional cities. Thoughts?

Year of the Dragon
Belated New Year’s Resolutions, and how they’re going so far…
Get back to Italy shape. I ate far too many cookies over break, and when I got back to school/when I left, I was the biggest I’ve ever been. But now I’m back in an environment where I buy my own food, so no more Oatmeal Creme Pies. I’m riding almost every day. And I feel much better already. I felt...
Lately
“But the frequency of [my story’s] rejection seems like a helpful thing to mention, given how many young and apprentice writers tear through BASS every year, as I once did, wondering how one’s work ends up so enshrined. One answer: Yell into a hole, and pretend as though you’re having a conversation. Yell long enough, and suddenly you might be.”

Scalia, History, and What the Judges had for...
I’ve been preparing for my exam for Constitutional Law II: Religious Liberty, and I’ve been trying to wrap my head around a dissent by Scalia (for you kids with access to Westlaw, it’s in McCreary County v. ACLU, 545 US 844 (2005)), but also around the whole class and how I now feel about religion in the public sphere, now that I’m much more informed.
The class was harder...

Last Fun Weekend of the Semester - bummer
Flirted with a 1L precisely because he looked like Dexter.
Mixed with med students, and mixed well.
Out with a bang. Now library for forever.

Lesson from Ponies #17
On Saturday, I went to a big law school Halloween party. It was really fun. I loved my costume, I went to a great pregame, and I spent most of the night talking to this really cute Jew”ish” guy with blue eyes and dark hair. It was a slow boil, but I definitely *thought* we were flirting. I mean, I was flirting. Nothing happened, and he peaced out early which bummed me out for a second,...
Don't Hold Grudges
My high school five year reunion was this past weekend. I had a lot to do here in the ville, so I didn’t go. And part of me was relieved. I hated high school. I’ve blamed it on my parents and I’ve blamed on the people that walked the halls with me. The people who were so busy fighting over custody hours that they didn’t even see me, and the shallow rich snobs that...

On Remembrance
I was in my eighth grade Latin class. I went to school in Alexandria, and, believe it or not, we heard the plane crash into the Pentagon. Shortly thereafter, we were all called into the gym, and were told that a plane had just hit the Twin Towers. We went back to class. We didn’t know what any of it meant. After a second plane hit in New York, we were called back to the gym again, and...
Bahahahaha
Wore a see-through top to a party tonight, and it affected a guy whose attention I was not going for. With great tits, come great responsibility…

Today two people told me that it was weird that I was dating Gym Teacher. Apparently the fact that he grew up poor and majored in Physical Education means that he is beneath me, brains-wise, and that we have nothing in common.
And I mean… Yes, his family belongs to a different…
I get this too. My parents met in law school, and when I went last year I went with the inkling...

Just had my last day at the DOJ. I’ve loved it so much. It was fantastic. Saying goodbye to everyone today, I nearly teared up!
Metro Bad, Corgi Good →
Took me two hours to get home from DC on the metro tonight.
But it’s okay, because you-tube-ing “corgi” made me feel instantly better.
Things that I'm currently thinking
I’m sick of researching firms. Especially because I’ve fallen in love with one.
Last night was weird. But also nice. And also very weird.
Easter eggs are also in my basket.
Most eggs are duds.
I should stop focusing on the Easter eggs.
I want to play polo. Real bad.

Update
For one, I’ve been really busy. Happy hours, working out, and eating far too many snacks. But I’ve spent lots of time with friends, new and less-new, which is great. Because I was so afraid that being at home this summer would just be a repeat of other summers at home: lonely, and embarrassingly so. But I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had time to really get my ass in gear...

You can't be afraid to get a little wet
It’s always the nights you don’t bring your swim suit that people jump into the pool. But you’ve got to jump in anyway.

Addy Walker
If you were white, and had Addy, it was because your progressive parents were trying to encourage broad world-views in a market saturated with white dolls.
Though arguably the most likeable of all the characters, Addy is more of a racial totem than personality- or era-driven doll:…

I actually did sort of rock my Con Law exam (I think). At least, I totally felt good about it.
And I’m soooo excited to start my summer job in two weeks. I’m going to learn so much and meet new people, and go out with great friends who also work in DC in the evenings. I’m soooo pumped.
Also: despite my cheezit-eating ways, I’ve somehow lost weight during...
Keep Calm and Carry On
Con Law exam today. 3.5 hours, and I’ll be done with the law that is most obviously comprised of what the Justices had for breakfast.
And as long as I keep a steady head, I can kick this thing’s ass. I went full-out Art History when I studied for it, making a colored time-line and everything. I feel good about this one. Which is how I felt about Crim. And I did well in Crim.
1 down, 3 to go
I’m two weeks away from being finished with 1L year. It’s gone by quickly, except for these exam periods, which are just brutal.
My property exam was this morning. It was closed book, and while I thought that I had truly memorized everything I’d need to know, that didn’t really end up being the case. I still think it went fine, but man. My brain if fried. I’m trying...

This is a good Friday (blasphemous? maybe)
We’re talking about sodomy in Con Law. Since I’m also taking a class on Criminal Law and the Regulation of Vice, I have some smart ways to say what I ultimately think about Scalia’s dissent in Lawrence v. Texas (mainly, that he’s an idiot, and very very wrong about his slippery slope argument w/r/t morals legislation).
Also, I made Peep-shi (sushi-style confections made...

So after cenizasyarena let me join her at Acme Tattoo, I found out how much it would cost to get the swallow tattoo I posted recently. AKA a significant amount of money (and I’m not flush with cash these days). And as the adorable tattoo artist pointed out, you don’t want to get a bargain basement…
A tattoo is not an impulse buy. A tattoo stays on you forever. I literally...
So Hip! →
Just bought these glasses! Plus, this supplier is awesome. For every pair you buy (which is only $95, INCLUDING lenses), they donate a pair to a person who can’t afford them.
Doing good and looking super-cool. I’ll take it.

To all my Tumblr ladies who tried OKCupid:
Went on McSweeney’s for a study break. Almost LOL-ed in the silent gunner lounge. This is the best. If anyone had a profile like this, referencing this or not, I’d love them immediately.

You guys. Next year, my apartment has a bathtub. You know what that means? Lush bath bombs ALL THE TIME.
SO excited. ALL CAPS YEAH.

All the names I like are getting really popular. Sigh, I’m just a part of the cultural machine. (Okay, but really?! Stop naming your kids (Br/J/C/K/A(i/y)den like right now. And I hate almost all of these)
I’m safe on 3 out of 4 top picks (Henry, Eliza, and Cole). But it looks like Olivia might have to go. Haha.

Saying Yes
I’ve decided to do the harder, better Journal. This year, this semester, is about saying yes to the things that scare me, and jumping all the way in.
On a completely unrelated note, “no bueno” is spreading. I’m so proud.
I think my Lent resolution (or whatever you call...
I have a job (well, an unpaid internship, but it’s going to be awesome).
I was accepted for a fellowship that pays you to be a TA for the Legal Research and Writing class next year.
I was offered a position on the International Journal, the best one at the school (well, second to Law Review, and we don’t hear from them until the Summer).
I’m filling up my legal resume!...

Good Day
Today has been lovely. I got a bday present from LParr (two, actually, haha), it’s gorgeous out, we played softball and while the Lawsagefest was not victorious, I had two good hits, and I did some running on the field but am also going to the gym because I don’t have too much reading.
And also. Also! I’m making my step-mom’s DELISH mac & cheese tonight. Which, RV and...

I so regret an encounter 2 weeks ago. So regret it. So much. And I hate regret.
I remember telling my mom, when I was younger, elementary school aged, that I felt like I missed out on fun things that my friends did because I was afraid we’d get in trouble for it. She told me not to worry so much.
I’ve felt the exact same way. While I myself have no Catholic guilt, my...

Back to Metaphors
So I’m not going to link these because I’m lazy… but I think y’all will get it.
This weekend, I had some ice cream. And it was delicious. Or, in other words, I allowed myself a short story. And as I always feel about short stories, I wish it were longer (okay, I really don’t mean it in that way, haha) but it wouldn’t have been the story that I loved if it were...
