hello, I haven't posted properly in almost two months. I've had this growing suspicion that I may be turning into a lurker, but I don't want that, obviously. lurkers don't get any... or is that the other way around? well, I'm not getting any regardless, so I suppose it doesn't matter much. I'm applying to grad schools for next year, and I was planning on going to school in britain, and now with this whole terrorism war stuff I want to get out of the states more than ever. not only do we have an idiot for a president, but now stuff is getting blown up too. my roommate wants to move to new zealand and raise sheep, and really, I can't blame him. more than ever, I just want to get my masters, find a job at some small university town, and cloister myself away with students and books. the real world used to scare me, but now it terrifies me. even my desire to stay in new york in waning. I don't know where I'll be in a year's time, and that fact is oddly comforting. maybe I'll go to canada. I meant this to be a light-hearted post. I failed at that... sorry. I'll leave on a happier note: I want a basset hound... I wish my school would let us have pets. puppies are so cute! tweeness abounds. oh, um. I heard "marx and engels" for the first time this week. it's quite good, although I can't make out the words. cheers, eric ps note to ken chu: if I end up in nottingham, we'll have to meet for a drink and discuss our lack of pulling skills. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
