Just love me through the chaos

What's going on? WHY AREN'T YOU SEIZING THE BOY!?
I have a big head...and little arms... I'm just not sure how well this plan was thought through
-- Meet the Robinsons


Every time I see that commercial I crack up. My brother and I were hanging out at home Sunday afternoon, I was packing, and it came on. I paid no attention, but my brother proceeds to burst out of the bathroom in a bizarre pose with his arms shrunk into his shirt, and he screamed 'I HAVE A BIG HEAD! AND LITTLE ARMS!' I looked at him like he was nuts, he sat me down and made me watch the commercial. Thanks Mark!

I'm assistant directing for Golgonooza AKA: co-directing/props managing/stage crew to directors go-between/ secretary. It's a good time. I'm not used to Dylan, the official director, or his style. But I know it will be a good play when we're all through. My organizational creativity and his absurdest ideas will blend well together.

I was chosen to be a Resident Director of a large first year building for the 2007-2008 school year. Yeah Hickory Hall! I'm excited, but this week is a little stressful. Interviewing returning RA's, and new candidates, selecting the strongest staff possible - oh my. I'm confident that everything will turn out very well. Still, nerves are getting the best of me.

Scheduling. I convinced mom to let me drop my sociology minor. Thank God.

Through all of the insanity, something is missing. I don't know what it is, it's nameless, it's ominous, it's quiet. I'm tired, not sleepy. Tired. It's weird, I'm oddly dissatisfied with my sophomore year. But I'm fulfilled by certain experiences that have made it worthwhile. I think that I haven't found the balance of insane work and quality friend time. I feel like I've lost connection with a lot of the 'LLC kids'. I miss it.

We do the best with what we have. That's all anyone can do.

I hope this empty feeling goes away.

To us. Whoever we are.
