"Quotes are nothing but inspiration for the uninspired."

-Richard Kemph Long time no blog! I don't have any topic in mind to write about, but I felt this unbelievable urge to update. It must be the procrastinator in me, trying to put off the M312 homework. One cool thing that happened this week was that a lot of the people in my lab were trying to get a visiting professor drunk with them. Alas, I am a minor (although they had to ask if I were of age...haha). I've noticed that when talking about the friendship-dating-engagement-marriage love continum, we have a very limited vocabulary consisting primarily of various cliches that all are just euphisms for... Well....I'm not sure how to define them without using more cliches...but here they are, The Words That Are Repeated Over And Over Again When Talking Or Singing About Love: - get more serious - take it to "another level" - be more than just friends/lovers/fiances - ask/pop "the question" And well...that's all I can think of. But imagine a conversation about two friends who are considering dating w/o using those 4 phrases! A: So I heard Sally is thinking about...spending more time at Harry's B: Really?! That's great! They were practically best friends before; I always thought that they should...er...be bestestest friends, you know what I mean? A: Sally is actually going to...inquire if Harry's itinerary is open this Saturday's Eve and so on. I just got back from the Hillel Center's "Diversity Dinner." Delicious! And very educational. I am glad my tax dollars are supporting me and my education :)
