plans (actually, i should have called it plan, but hindsight is 20/20, which is average)

as a general rule, my ideas are hit and miss, without the misses. if there was a missus, they'd probably be all miss. but, there's really no way of knowing.

amongst my grandiose plans are the following:

paint my room with my favorite quotes a la Franny and Zooey but not just on door frames or bedposts or whatever, but on walls with ink (and probably whiteout, or offwhite-out, if there is such a thing)



and that's actually as far as i'm going to get, because right now i'm searching out all the books that i know have quotes i like and i'm going to begin my compilation process, because sometimes you just need to start things. or at least, sometimes you just feel compelled to do so. and this is one of those times. today i am a man of action.

maybe i'll post the things i put together. that'll be easier than giving bedroom tours.

test week = blog post. this is a long established fact.

ugggh. i was doing so well. i was chillin and studying and burninating the countryside and then now, tonight, for some reason, i just can't study. my notes are there, all strewn about in classic study fashion, but they just can't hold my attention. and it's starting to peeve me. (i wanted to say "irk" instead of "peeve," but danelle uses that word a lot, and if i'm gonna copy someone, i'd rather it be more obvious. we the people. call me ishmael. death be not . four score and seven . from every mountainside let freedom . two households both alike in . it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a . no man is an . i dont even have to finish those quotes and you know where i'm going with them. ok. bonus round. Dunder-Mifflin this is . don't worry, you can google any of those lines and figure out what it was i was going for. or you could just have a brain in the first place. {oh, harsh}. the power is . oh, that one didn't work. i guess captain planet isn't googled enough.)

OK, a few Michael Scott quotes. They're just too good. Why yes, this is what I do when I'm bored or when I should be busy with other things. Why do you ask?

I hate so much about the things that you choose to be
And then … and then suddenly she's not yo' ho no mo'.
Happy birthday Jesus, sorry your party's so lame.
YYyyyankeee swap.
The rules of shotgun are very simple and very clear: the first person to shout shotgun when you're within the sight of the car gets the front seat. That's how the game's played. There are no exceptions for someone with a concussion.
Pshh. BFD. Engaged ain't married.

OK, I know that barely scratches the surface, so go ahead and post all the other good ones I missed if it's bothering you that your favorite one isn't up there.


test weeks rarely stress me out. actually, few things really stress me out. i like to think this is mostly by choice, and that when something's getting to me i just remind myself that in the grandmaster (as in chess) scheme of things it's either not that important or that i can learn to deal with it. the other option is that i dont care. this might often be the case. hakuna matata. (when in doubt, resort to disney songs. you can't argue with disney songs.)

ok, study time. this is probably the 57th time i've told myself that today.
