proper exclamation in a college paper?

Thu, 12 May 2011 16:03:14 -0400

Charlie (boy): Is it proper to put a question mark next to an exclamation point in a formal paper?

Me: No.

Charlie (boy): But what if it is an urgent question?!

Me: No.

Charlie (boy): Well, I guess I will just have to stick with the question mark. Maybe two question marks?!

Charley (girl): Then a smiley and a heart!

Charlie (boy): Well I guess my professor won’t understand my tone.

Charley (girl): maybe you should sign your paper with xoxoxoxoxoxo

Me: We’re all definitely getting A’s.

Just did that thing...

where you start cramming but then you turn to your trusty TI-83 and calculate what grade you need on this final to get a __ and then you realize that you [couldn’t possibly do that poorly] / [are completely fucked] so you give up and plan to waste the rest of the time you have for the test and get drunk immediately after.

One Art by Elizabeth Bishop

The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant 
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.


--Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied.  It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

il dolce far niente (the sweetness of doing nothing)

(aka the random thoughts of Samantha at this moment)

but we’re not doing nothing. we are breathing, living, manifesting, BEING. we’re making daisy chains, hula hooping, eating popsicles and probably not going to class because the sweet sounds of moe. are simply just too sweet and sexy.

Charley just told me to “do it now, do it now, do it NOW.” Isn’t it marvelous how someone reminding you of three simple words can change the course of your entire week?! and it’s ONLY MONDAY. so much time left. Yesterday, Caroline and I did some spring cleaning in the room, opened our blinds for the remainder of the year to let the sun shine on us.

Spent the weekend with Sophie and Blair, along with some new friends, Bash and Pat. How marvelous they are. We were lost in music and honesty all weekend. I’m scared of being away from them next year. Not because time and distance could potentially tear us apart, but because there are going to be so many instances that I’ll want them right by my side.

Just looked down at my ankle. “So Ham” Today it means “I Am Happy.”

Peace, love, Bassnectar.

Today's Clittylitter (sex) post.

Wed, 13 Apr 2011 21:51:19 -0400

Most people would be intimidated when a woman (stranger) walks in with two suitcases full of sex toys on a Wednesday night, but not at Wheaton. I walked into Mary Lyon, one of the most prestigious lecture halls on the campus that is also said to be haunted. Let’s just say we probably scared all of the ghosts away. Can you say clash between prim and proper and….penis?

For weeks the school has been buzzing about this “Sex Toy Party.” Upperclassmen told me it made them laugh so hard they peed their pants. So I went. I mean, talking about sex for two hours seemed pretty appealing. The quote I am going to post next is a little lengthy, so I won’t go on and on here because I feel like this person writes it so much better. The past few weeks I’ve been thinking about sex as the act of sex, sex as the act of love, and sex as the act of “just helping your friend have a casual orgasm.” Doesn’t matter who it is with, what sex what age. It just happens and it is human.

May I just quickly share a TFLN? (303): We are casual work acquaintances that occasionally fuck when the urge strikes. CWATOFWTUS. I know FWB rolls of the tongue better what it is what it is. Read on and tell me what you think.

A great scene of modern grace on ‘30 Rock’ the other day:

Liz and Jack went out to dinner at a very chic restaurant. As they sat down at the table, Jack immediately moved the candle from the center of the setting to the side of the table. Liz looked at him kinda funny, not understanding why he did that but, not really caring either. Later, however, when Liz reached across the table to steal some of Jack’s food (as she always does), she realized he moved the candle so her sleeve wouldn’t catch fire when she reached across the table. Jack’s manner and grace were so attuned to her as a friend, that he knew her moves before she did. That tiny gesture ended up becoming the pivotal moment of the episode and changed the course of their business relationship.

I’m telling you guys again, women notice the small stuff. They notice the gentleness/gentlemenliness more than if you use the right fork at dinner. I’m a very lucky man, Garance notices every little kindness I offer her, she doesn’t miss a thing. Knowing that makes it so much more rewarding to do even more little things for her. I’ll be honest, my biggest obsession in life right now is not better shoes, more suits or a bigger career but, to simply be a more graceful man for my graceful woman.

So women, in the spirit of grace, manner and Valentine’s Day, take a moment and share with us men some of the little kindnesses that your man has done for you that made your heart flutter. Us men might learn something and you might gain an even more graceful man, a gentleman.

Editor’s Note: For my gay readers, I can only write this as I know it, a man loving a woman. Don’t let this keep you from joining the conversation. If you have tiny acts of kindness from a boyfriend to a boyfriend, or girlfriend to a girlfriend, please share with us!
Grace is Grace.
It doesn’t matter who you’re lovin’, it’s how you’re lovin’!”

feeling significantly less poopy after listening to this song. my anthem. makes me happeh.

It's raining today....

Wed, 13 Apr 2011 15:10:37 -0400

New England needs to make up its mind. Sun one day, rain the next. But how is that any different from what we, as college students, feel every day? Recently, I’ve kept my eyes peeled for little glimpses of sunshine, turns out all you have to do is turn the dark clouds into something you enjoy. Here, let’s try together.

CRAPPY: It’s pouring rain, I just straightened my hair!

HAPPY: Guess I have to stay inside and drink hot chocolate and watch Archer and play Left4Dead all day.

The other day I saw a maintenance man fishing chairs and tables out of the pond outside of the dining hall. Yes, tables and chairs. I didn’t really think twice about this act, other than ask myself ‘why would someone throw tables and chairs into the pond?’ Then yesterday, I saw them all set up outside of the dining halls. I remembered that in the fall, when everyone was choked with fear and hesitation about starting school, we all used to sit on those tables and chairs and eat our meals outside.

I’ve got my soundtrack to kill zombies to (http://8tracks.com/theresmychippy/songs-to-kill-zombies-to), my hot chocolate, and my metaphorical sunshine. Whatchuknowaboutthat?

You have four years to be irresponsible here. Relax. Work is for people with jobs. You’ll never remember class time, but you’ll remember time you wasted hanging out with your friends. So, stay out late. Go out on a Tuesday with your friends when you have a paper due Wednesday. Spend money you don’t have. Drink ‘til sunrise. The work never ends, but college does…” - Tom Petty
