Friendship is a delicate combination of admiration, trust, empathy, two forks and one dessert.

About me: "I can't think of what to write in my myspace About Me section," lamented the girl sadly.
"Oh you're just stalling," sneered the unsympathizing readers of her myspace page.
"No really," she replied. "After all, how does one, in a simplistic and succint paragraph, condense the essence of their personality, reflect their passions, fears, hopes and dreams, reveal to the world the workings of their inner soul!!!!"
The myspace readers shrugged. "Uh, actually, we just wanted to know how many friends you had. Oh, and whether or not you're hot."
"Oh," said the girl.
"Part of me suspects that I'm a loser, and the other part of me thinks I'm God Almighty." -John Lennon
You scored as Cultural Creative. Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious.
Magical Bronwen! Can you do me a HUGE favor and go this photo album and tell me which ones are your favorites? I'm trying to narrow it down for DA and I would love your opinion!
BRONWEN! I miss you. How are you? what's the book about. Recently I read Gravity's Rainbow (now my favorite book), by Thomas Pynchon, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
I'm doing ok...not much happening, school's not letting up. What've you been up to?
Yeah, the world tells me it's too hard. But I know that I will suceed.
My english teacher and I can talk like old friends for a whole class period, CSSSA stuff like art and other wierd shit. No lessons those days.
i've been pretty good. kind of stressed out by school, and freaking out about the growing up thing... feeling kind of torn between two lives at the moment, but things are mostly good.
yayy congrats on your first acceptance! you're going to college! woo! keep me informed and good luck with THE decision :)
bronwen, my long lost friend.
we're lame for not seeing each other while i was home.
really lame.
but, how are you? any college news yet?
ahhh i cant believe you're about to do the whole college thing!!! life's crazy.
love you forever
kelsey.
I've been groovy, pimpin' out hoes, evadin' my French teacher (been ditchin for the past...*counts* while...:)) and dancin' around my college applications. Finalement, je fini! Spelman, Berkeley, Columbia and Carnegie!
Where you tryin' to invade?
Anyway I gotta run off and destroy Mountain View High School, the homophobic dicks. If you can, get a hold of the head of your GSA and let them know about this:
After three years of continous harassment an attempt at an armistance was made between the MVHS administrative staff and one of the leading GSA members. However the meeting quickly disintegrated into a reprimand for the member and the 'ally' that was supposed to function as their youth advocate totally fuckin' folded on them, and just let the administrators rip on this kid. They're trying to graduate and are not exactly the most assertive of heads so just sat there, nodded in time and left. However, the harassment and discrimination has not stopped and is not likely to change anytime soon considering.
*winks*
I'm busy abusing the power of the press to give GSA leads a heads up about this. If they're suitably pissed about the whole thing let me know. In the mean by I need to get back to networking.
PS> I saw Emma for her 18th, and got her the worst rice rockets I've ever seen for her prez. Some of this Japanese porn is totally fucking ridiculous, and it made me wonder what they must think of ours...Lupa...(I would hate to have to explain DDD tits or 19 inch cocks for example). Random tid bit I thought would make ya shake your head. Take care man! :)
Yay, we have the same week off! I have to work a couple nights, but we should chill for a few days! I'll volunteer to come visit you up there if you'd like, or you're more than welcome to come and visit me for a night or two.
