Marissa: So was I.
Summer: Which we never were before Cohen showed up and introduced us to irony. Jackass.
Seth about Summer: Do I force confrontation or do I just continue to be passive aggresive?
Sandy: Denial is a very effective coping mechanism.
Julie: He basically called me white trash! He said I was from Riverside!
Jimmy Cooper: But you are from Riverside.
Julie: It was his tone!
Sometimes talking about something is a way to jinx it, but I'll do it anyway. I started running again. I'm only doing 2 miles a day, but I plan to move up to 4 miles after 2 weeks and at that point move up my speed. It has only been 4 days and I worry the weekend will kill my motivation and now that finals are coming I won't have time, but I know I can make time. Come Monday I'll going to add the weights part of the workout, but it sucks to not have a spotter.
The OC is back. I didn't want to watch it when it came out, but I am addicted. I will not watch North Shore though. In watching the show I was talking to a friend and I asked her who she thought was more my type of girl, Summer or Marissa. {back to the old days when you said, I get to be leonardo, no I want to be michaelangelo} I thought she would pick Marissa, but instead she picked Seth's mom Kirsten. Of course they are all attractive, but this was about personality fit. Now we talk about which male character I empathize with the most. Again here I thought it would be the Seth character but I actually think it would be the Jimmy character. He falls in love with Kirsten when he is young (who is the perfect girl), they break up, he marries a total evil bitch, then falls for this free spirit who loves him, but doesn't know what she wants and ends up leaving him to go to Japan. This is a good guy who seems to do things with the best intentions, but somehow things don't seem to work out in the end for this guy. Now don't get me wrong, I know this show is just about looking at hot attractive people and wishing you had the problems of being rich and not knowing which hot girl to pick. It is still fun to watch. Here is a quote I read about the OC.
In "The O.C.", the writers actually explore questions of money, class and love in the various adult couples in a way that brings Jane Austen to mind; we can relate to the struggles the characters are going through even if their day-to-day lives are completely foreign from our own.
I don't understand myself. I think I lie to myself and I believe it and therefore I can't see the true world. Imagine having a rational voice over your shoulder with it telling you about the reality of what you are experiencing. You know, being honest with you. Say, hey fat ass start studying. Or, she is great you are being an idiot, or she is not great you are being an idiot. I don't know if I would be listening to that voice, but it would be nice to have it. I don't think I can objectively look at things from outside myself because it will always be jaded with my way of looking at the world.
I got my Legal Writing final exam grade and I got 39 of 42. I am kind of upset I didn't get a 41, but I won't complain. I heard there was a prefect score, but I don't know what the curve is yet, but I guess I hope the rest of the grades where low as to help me out. I think that unless I really did bad on my final open memo, I should possibly get an A in the class, but at the least a B+. I really enjoy writing and if my gpa sucks I want to at least be able to say I'm a good writer. {editor's note: found out it was a 39 out of 40 not 42.}
Look at this headline "Police use stun gun on 6-year-old." This is a perfect example of sensationalism. It makes you think, man, those fucking assholes tazing a 6 year old little boy. (notice how we assume boy, boys get into kinds of stupid shit.) One headline when you open the link was a bit more fair and said, "Officials: Child was cutting himself with glass." So yeah, in short the kid was cutting himself up and talking to him to stop didn't work, so they did it to protect him. They should have just punched him in the face, it would probably hurt less than 10,000 volts. Either way, it seems somewhat justified, though if it could be argued there was a safer option, then let the courts decide this...but really the headline makes it sound like "cops stun little boy who was just sitting there." It got my attention so I guess it worked.
I don't know what people in my class think of me. I'm sure some think I'm annoying and others don't even know my name. But there are names that keep coming up as people that annoy everyone. Here is the funny part. I was talking to one of those people and she started going off on this person in our class that he/she hates. I mean the anger s/he expressed was impressive. The funny part is that the person s/he was talking about is the 2nd most annoying person to him/her. I wanted to tell her to cut that person a break because they were much worse, but I let them live in their own little world. So if this person is clueless that people want them to shut the hell up, it makes me think I could be clueless too...I mean wouldn't it be ironic if I was above that person in people hated most. Of course I don't think I am and am pretty sure I am not, but that person doesn't know so it does make you think. I have learned something in law school, participation is hard. I enjoy asking questions, so I make an effort not to. I limit myself to one question per day in two classes. I really want to ask 10, but I don't want to annoy everyone. Therefore I try to pick the most kick ass question I can and keep the small ones for later. The thing is when you get used to not asking questions, then you just don't want to ask questions, which is how I am in some classes.
What a terrible idea, I should not have gone.
