you can tell a lot by how a person takes photos. whenever i ask people to take a photo for me with my camera, their personality is revealed in how they take the picture. for instance, my friend yesterday took a picture with my camera, and he didnt have the sense to center the fucking camera. and then two days before that in Monaco, this other girl took a picture when i was standing in front of a beautiful arch, and half of the picture is of the ground, and the arch was cut off. i mean...REALLY.... but like my bro. if he ever takes a picture for me, i know that it will be centered, zoomed and that it will contain the important part of the scenery. i think its important to have that kind of common sense.

i got stuck in a decent/bad residential college at Yale and that really bummed me out because one of the main reasons i wanted to go there was for the dorms. BUT i think i got a single because i intentionally wrote a very difficult and complex description of a possible roommate. hahah. wooh


i just finished re-reading "the world according to garp." it renewed my love for john irving because he is such a talented writer. wow.

i must be off to class, but i have a very bad hangover that will not go away.
