"I don't have anything against Republicans. Just Republican policies." - Steven Colbert

"If holiness is happening, it is happening in the thick of reality, not replacing the world as we know, not banishing death, but defying its terror as the last word."
- Krista Tippett

Bulls vs. literary critics:
"Bulls don't run reviews. Bulls of 25 don't marry old women of 55 and expect to be invited to dinner. Bulls do not get you cited as co-respondent in Society divorce trials. Bulls don't borrow money. Bulls are edible after they have been killed." -Ernest Hemingway

"One of the few good things about modern times: If you die horribly on television, you will not have died in vain. You will have entertained us."
-Kurt Vonnegut

"The majority of women (happily for society) are not very much troubled with sexual feelings of any kind... Love of home, of children, and of domestic duties are the only of any kind." - William Acton, British physician, 1875

“A stern man is a stern man. A stern woman is a bitch.”

Tonight after house dinner after we finished dancing and cleaning up, I asked if people wanted to see the dress I'm wearing in Nat's wedding.

I ran to my room to get it, and Liv, Jake, Amir, Will, Josh, Lisa and Becca funneled in and stood around my bedroom in a semi circle. I showed people, and we talked about my tights/leggings issues.

I eagerly showed off the rest of my break purchases (nice blue shirt and pinstripe pants).

At one point we all jumped up or danced a little.

I dug in my plastic drawer thing holding my personal stuff and one by one, pulled out beads. I threw them at Josh first (since he pretended to flash me), then randomly put them over people's heads around the semi-circle. Everyone got a beaded necklace, but we stopped at the rosary.

Then people left.

I love my roommates and friends.
