my roommate is watching some ewok movie. and it's creepy. SO MUCH WORK! but it's snowing and i can see the end of the semester in sight. it's crazy.

iowa.

so, the oldest (some modifier about being used or still standing or something) mosque in america is in cedar rapids iowa. and next weekend, i'm planning on going up there. hopefully. but it's much farther north than i realized. also, i was wanting to take the train, however. there is none to there. which is sad.

truman

Math expo today
good for them
bad for me

no habitat
oversleeping
start the day off wrong

then to the expo
withdrawing from people
can't even grade properly

leave room
try to read
just cry

kat says
the sponsor says
that i'm
self-defeating

it's a missunderstanding
this hatred is genuine

some places perpetuate self-hatred.
i believe this to be one.

i don't belong here. truman makes me always sad and never happy. always and never. never never and always. it's not supposed to be like this. i don't think.

so, my friend erica had the most splendid screeen name.

"There is no finite sub cover which contains your mom, therefore your mom is not compact."

and yeah. she totally doesn't understand it. and i don't have anybody i can tell who will right now. so i must remember it for tomorrow. although, technically, your mom should be both closed & bounded in R-3 so there should be a finite subcovering...

edit: okay, okay, okay. i get it.

friday and saturday

this weekend, i have watched
the incredibles
the village
the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

all were very good
dangerous and sexy
or something like that

also,
acapella was tonight
so many groups
two and a half hours
but it was fun

sorry.

i'm sorry for telling you
that i didn't want to tell you
it was russians
tone deaf russians

i'm sorry
for crying
in the procrast lounge

i'm sorry
for not stopping
even as i climbed the stairs

i'm sorry
i said "no"
when you asked me if i was okay

i'm sorry
for saying "yes"
when you said
"it sounded like you were laughing... or crying"

i'm sorry
for hating truman
so fucking much

i'm sorry
that breakdowns
just aren't for me.

but i've done all of it, and i'm sorry.
