Sorting Hat →
alayman:
patrickwilson:
Gryffindor.
It asked which I preferred, so of course I said Gryffindor. Then it said, “Are you kidding me,” and put me in Hufflepuff. I’m embarrassed.
Ouch.
I mean, Hufflepuff are hard workers, so that’s something.

Yes, I did this. I am a Gryffindor. I chose Hufflepuff at first since they seem classy, but the hat has spoken.

VINDICATION AT LAST.

Whether it’s okay or not, I still say “like” far too often.

Dudes sitting next to me in the library are talking about Star Wars. I have my headphones on, so I’m only catching snippets of the conversation, but I just heard the phrase…
“…double the light-saber. Badass.”

I had a really vivid dream last night. The contents and context of said dream are, largely, of no importance to anyone but myself. At some point during this dream, I checked my weather dashboard widget.
Anyway, after a morning spent excited about the weather and putting on ankle socks and not grabbing my coat when I went downstairs (and apparently, not looking out the window) I managed to walk...

China Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Ma Zhaoxu in this BBC article.
Maybe there’s a translation error here, and instead of “runs contrary to the facts”, he meant “is exactly what we do”.

Spending so much time at school has found me falling behind in my podcast listening.
This is my 1700th post on Tumblr. Slowly but surely making my way toward 2000.

And then Rebecca and I used it as our dictionary for Boggle. Halfway through, we started making up words, and more often than not, they were in the OED. Never has Boggle been so educational.

favorite films i saw at the movies in 2009
pedrosanchez:
1. Ponyo (Hayao Miyazaki) 2. Fantastic Mr. Fox (Wes Anderson) 3. Up (Pete Docter, Bob Peterson)
yes, i know i’m pathetic, f off
In all honesty, this pretty much sums it up for me as well. I don’t feel like any non-animated films came out that I could justify investing in emotionally.

Leaving for London in the AM
jorgerodriguez:
Tomorrow, that is. For four months. Living in an apartment with a handful of chicks that I don’t know yet. Don’t even know their names. Not looking forward to flying by myself. Do I sound down? I don’t mean to, I’m just nervous. And excited. And nervous. Wish me luck!
I’m going to miss you!

Rebecca: You should see our starter. It has risen so much it has just about filled the jar. I am going to wait for it to recede a little before I feed it today.

While I was driving around on Saturday, I was thinking about whether or not people reach an event horizon of sorts in their romantic relationships. Once we cross a certain arbitrary threshold in our togetherness, does there come a time when we can no longer escape from the gravity created by our intimacy and we give in to its pull?
I am not referring to settling for someone. I think the settling...

I don't know my way around campus at Webster.
My schedule this semester:
Film Appreciation
Worlds of Romance
Contemporary Drama
Historical Linguistics: History of the English Language
Learning Strategies
Learning Strategies… because I guess I haven’t figured out how to learn yet. I’m stoked about Contemporary Drama though. The first play we’re reading is “Doubt”. Worth noting: three of my classes are...
