  • I picked up No Plot? No Problem! yesterday at my neighborhood Borders, which is only a five-mile walk down 29. I figure it'll help me with the novel I'm working on, presently called "That Novel I'm Working On" or "Prodig…
  • Montgomery County schools are wimps when it comes to winter weather. I honestly didn't see a need to close school Thursday, let alone Friday, when it warmed up and the ice melted. From what I saw, the roads were clear - …
  • This is your life Are you who you want to be? This is your life Is it everything you dreamed that it would be When the world was younger And you had everything to lose? I've been the object of a lot of pity this…
  • I [as a joke] asked Dan to prom [as a joke] today, given that I won't go if I can't find a date [who is a girl]. Unfortunately, he said no. I decided that if I'm going to take a boy to prom, it should be because I like h…
  • Just to let you know I've still got a sense of humor, check out my latest picture on http://newsuburb.tripod.com/picofweek. It's been a long weekend, but I'm doing okay. I made sure to keep depression away by not listen…
  • I remember one day last year I was in Ceramics and someone a few seats down from me broke down in the middle of class because his girlfriend had broken up with him. And I couldn't understand how someone could feel so bad…
  • I shouldn't have been surprised that when I woke up Tuesday morning, I was sick as a dog after freaking out the day before. During the weeks leading up to my "date" with Laura two years ago I willed myself a cold. I can …
  • You know, I actually gave a little thought to the idea that Brett might be pissed off that I wrote him a sonnet. Boys do not usually write each other poetry . . . if I were to be given a poem from another boy, I might be…
  • This is not an entry you'll want to breeze over. I couldn't sleep last night because, for the first time in so long, I was looking forward to Valentine's Day. I had put my feelings in a love muffin, and I put the love m…
  • http://newsuburb.tripod.com/picofweek (see the picture that inspired a million sonnets!) I was talking to Jesse, who also keeps one of these things, and he said "he'd never keep a blog" if people never sent him comments…
  • http://newsuburb.tripod.com/picofweek/ Check out this "week's" picture. The other day I was looking at the little sheet our lovely yearbook staff hands out to people who want to buy an ad and I noticed that the school's…
  • How to make yourself feel smart: Go find an athlete, which includes the drama club jocks, who you don't know and learn the name that's on their team jacket. Then, go up to them on a day when they're not wearing said jack…
  • Usually I'll mention something that happens or be pining about "the good old days" and I'll want to have a picture with it, but it just won't happen the way this friendly blog is set up. So I've introduced "Dan's Picture…
  • "I would say there are more people who like weed than would punch me." I went to the first meeting of the Film Club today. Dan, Adrienne and myself are the only seniors in a club of about thirteen or so - there's a coup…
  • I got accepted to Northeastern University! If I don't hear from my other three schools, that means that this fall I'll be going up to Boston, Mass., where I'll worship the Red Sox, get piss drunk on a daily basis, eat cl…
