Sometimes I feel like I fail as an Ithacan1 because I’m not really that jazzed up about I-fest (Ithaca Festival to those of you not-in-the-know).
I mean, it happens… and that’s it, really.
I’m usually way more excited about the semi-annual Friends of the Library Booksale (which I’ve missed this year because I had to work weekends).
Other [...]
This happened yesterday:
MOTHER to DAUGHTER: *after I pass out glasses ice-water, side-whisper* This is why going to college is important.
ME: … Would you ladies also like tea or soda?
MOTHER: *slightly taken back by me being, you know, fluent in English and me being able to hear her snide comment* Oh! Uh, we’ll just have water.
For [...]
Back from NYC where I visited my pseudo-grandmother, obtained delicious Almond Cookie ice cream (and Lychee Sorbet!), had almost authentic Chinese food, and listened to an audiobook of Kristin Chenowth’s memoir A Little Bit Wicked: Life, Love, and Faith in Stages during the long car ride back.
In case you’re curious, it was fantastic. I [...]
Delia and I spent time at Borders and had dinner at . I think Sushi Land has ruined me for life because the sushi at Kyushu was only “meh” and I longed for Crispy and Lion King rolls so hard. I would probably sell one of my kidneys for a lifetime supply of both.
Delia and [...]

~*Home is where the heart is~*
I wonder where my heart is sometimes.
Is my heart still buried beneath piles and piles of books and clothes back in my room in Ithaca?
Is it still waiting to be packed up in cardboard boxes and duct tape here in my dorm room at Bryn Mawr?
I’d like [...]
Sometimes, I feel slightly embarrassed that I love the Legally Blonde musical. If you haven’t seen it, chances are you’ll roll your eyes and think it’s complete rubbish((Don’t deny it. I was you once.)). It’s not. The music is fantastic; it’s not meant to be a masterpiece but the songs are great and the characters [...]

I checked the weather report on my iGoogle homepage. Apparently, we’re going to get rain for the rest of the week.
Theoretically, I should like rain.
I don’t.
Rain drowns the world, it makes mud and water seep through my cheap ‘great while they lasted’ Target rainboots.
Flower petals on the pathway stick to [...]
I wish..
there was a pause button for life.
Bryn Mawr had kitchens in their residence halls. I know we have dorms like palaces but I miss cooking a lot.
I knew why my Last.FM client has stopped working.
I could be more assertive and less shy.
I could figure out why that girl suddenly turned so cold towards [...]

I need to make a Daydreamer/Idealist playlist. I’ve always viewed myself as a cynical optimist (since I was thirteen at least) but I’ve become more of an idealist recently. I think our new administration has a lot to do with it; I’m pretty much in love with the direction that [...]
