einstein's brain

plopping down in sara and amanda's room and watching the 1st season of the OC while being force fed a large assortment of halloween candy = the story of my life. in my spare time this week, there was an HONORS psych scantron midterm that i (accidentally) filled out in PEN and another econ midterm that i rocked by filling in the last 5 bubbles while simultaneously walking to turn it in. YES! last night i got to catch up with allie over tutto pasta, which was so nice, especially for learning important things like the latest megan belter-matt murphy gossip (no joke) and the whereabouts of the nearest express. in other news, tonight my shoe fell in the toliet and i actually shrieked.

as my 2nd round of midterms have begun, i have a minute amount of will power and focus to plug along with studying verbatim definitions and crazy graphs. i am surprising even myself with my own incredibly free-spirited nature due to a recent revelation: i have the ability to make choices because i, leah nichols, am not a robot. i have the choice to go snap pictures and walk along lakeshore path instead of sit inside a lecture hall doing the crossword. rather than deviant or anti-school, this makes me feel healthy. sometimes, i say it's good to do the precise opposite of whatever your rational mind says, because sometimes, your rational mind sucks.

sooo... slowly but surely, it's happening! i am forming a disliking towards facebook, myspace, friendster, and any other social internet-type networking system. the internet in general is beginning to make me uneasy and i'm not sure why, maybe the recent addition of facebook and xanga pictures?! is this really necessary? maybe it's just a "woo! fun thing" and i am being an old maid? essentially, i feel like this whole technically-new internet world is attempting to create a more "connected" world, but failing miserably. does facebook really make it a small world after all or just make for awkward moments and rather than a smaller world, two disjointed worlds of real and internet? okay let's face it, i will probably go on facebook right after i type this last sentence, and sometimes i want to eat it up out of obsessive love, but you can't deny that real internet stalker stories and kids getting identified for underage drinking through online profiles... is unnatural and freakish.

speaking of unnatural and freakish, halloween is HERE! i guarantee you that i will be the best slutty lavender brown anyone has ever seen.

okay, time to crash. thank god today was gorgeous, because any day now, i feel like the temperature will plummet to negative quadruple digits. currently on a mission to find nice, warm, oven-looking mittens!

p.s. you know how everyone has dream houses and dream dates? well, sometimes i think about dream days and as of right now, my dream day is a day where everyone would dance to class. oh please! i'd like to see and participate in that more than anything.
