"she wanted to tell him how good she felt but didn't know how to build the house of words she could invite him into."

manifesto to gideon:

gideon yago may be the perfect man for me, in my mind, at least. well, to be fair, the perfect guy would be a mix of chris martin, jimmy fallon, conan o'brien, jake gyllenhaal, heath ledger.....ok ok ok so gideon.

i came home after classes today and turned on the tv, and when i saw his face on the screen, i almost swooned. i've long thought of him as the perfect guy for the following reasons (in descending order of importance):

5) he's cute as hell. good lord. his lips move in this sorta cute offbeat way when he talks. so sexy. no it's not a speech impediment or a lisp (he's not korean, is he???). he's got great eyes and great hair, clothes look good on him (and off him, i'm sure). he's just got a great package. and a great PACKAGE.
4) he reminds me of my 7th grade summer camp crush that i've never really gotten over and always wondered about...
3) he's got brains -- he went to columbia. plus didn't he cover the presidential elections for MTV? or rock the vote or something? politically aware guys get bonus points (hey, i go to berkeley, gimme a break).
2) he's articulate. i can count the number of guys i know who can express themselves as well as he on one three-fingered hand.
1) the glasses man -- lisa's weakness. he used to have the cute thick rimmed ones, but the ones he has now are just as nice.

he used to have cute kind of curly hair, too, and freesia swears that i have a thing for guys with sort of curly hair. i totally disagree. it's like saying i have a thing for guys with rosy cheeks, or guys who are into indie music, or arty guys, or....hey.

anyways, to be fair, i'm sure that gideon has his faults. i'm sure that he's pretty full of himself, or thinks he's right ALL THE TIME, or thinks he knows everything, or he's lazy as hell, or really sheisty, or likes to play video games ALL THE TIME. he probably doesn't drink, or doesn't smoke, or has no backbone, or no sense of adventure. actually he's probably just really immature and irresponsible. or maybe he is saving himself for marriage, or doesn't want to commit to any plans ever. he's probably really demanding too and oversensitive. but he's also probably really insensitive to others' needs, inconsiderate, callous and tactless. he probably doesn't want to give up on the dreams he had when he was 16, which is fine, i suppose.

but until i actually meet him and realize these all-so-real faults, he'll only have the "cute" faults -- like he's too spontaneous and can't stop waiting for me after my classes unexpectedly. or he'll want to drive across the country out of the blue, or go to a concert in sf one night, or stand outside my window and sing me a song using big cards with pictures on them. or he can't decide if we should go to paris or london or hawaii or south of france as a graduation trip. or he'll bribe the school band and sing me a song from the bleachers while i'm at soccer practice. or he'll run halfway across town to try to stop me from going to london for six months, and i'll tell him "everyone gets corrupted." or he'll want to stay in and watch "annie hall" while i'll want to watch "manhattan" or something ... which are, you know, faults i can handle.

so i suppose i should address what happened on friday night at the partay. i can't remember too much of it, but i apologize to those who i surely offended in my state, to those who had to sleep on the floor because i crashed on their bed, and to those who had to clean up my vomit. total party foul, dude! i also apologize to the many brain cells which had to die because of my weaknesses. rip.

"We understand some people think Gwen Stefani's hot, but let's face facts: She's not even the prettiest person in her 'marriage.'"

anonymous quote of the day: "i know that you're trying to sleep with me, but i can't decide whether or not i'm ok with that."

amendment: sam noted that elvis costello (who performed in the clash tribute at the grammys) is british. i retract my statement, but the sentiment behind it remains (see earlier posting).

this is for anne:

VINES SUCKA!!!!! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

anyone else notice how many hipsters there are on campus? like crazy mega hipsters, like the strokes-style. guys and girls. i noticed them while i was distributing hardboileds on sproul today. what's up with them? they just look ridiculous among all the cal sweatshirts and flip flops. i save my hipster outfits for the bars dude. is it worth it? lemme work it.

so live 105 has been playing good music lately. anyone else think so? yes. live 105 is soooo 8th grade, but they're getting pretty good. they played the libertines today, which i dug, and they're really pushing the streets, and that's ok in my book. i dunno bout that new white stripes song, though. rock is back! i feel really stupid saying that.

so this weekend, kimi and i actually did stuff in berkeley, instead of just go to blakes, which is never really as fun as you would think it might be on a weekend. i spent two hours waiting for her to get here at the starbucks near the bart station, so by the time she got there, i was pretty wired. or i should say, I WAS PRETTY WIRED!!!!! the reason for her coming to kick it here in berkeley was because i twisted her arm into coming to check out planet rock the block, which she didn't want to do because shimon was going to be there djing. so we go check it out, and of course she was totally trippin (is there any way to write that phrase and not sound stupid), looking out for him and being crazy paranoid. but (thankfully) we didn't see him, and she was cool after some cigarettes. it was pretty cool, and kimi commented that there are cuter guys at cal than at uc santa cruz, and at that moment, i had to agree with her. but what is up with hip hop poseurs?!?!? damn.

we went to battle of the bands later that night, which was pretty cool too. totally different crowd than planet rock the block. anyways, the bands that won were pretty good, and the band that won first prize had a really cute lead singer, so i'm sure they'll make it. he was really cute, reminded me of the guy who was best looking at my high school. then we went to bison for the final time before they closed, and the owner was incredibly nice to us and took care of our bill. it's so sad that there will be no more bison. what am i going to drink before my afternoon classes now??

you might think i'm joking with that last comment, but let me reassure you i am not. drinking in between classes is a trend i have begun this semester. yesterday was mardi gras, and anne and jenille and i took advantage of their $3 20 oz. hurricanes. we had a few in between classes and then one after classes -- yes, i ingested 60 oz. of hurricanes yesterday. funny thing -- in my class after we had the first round, i was supersleepy, probably due to the alcohol, and i took the best nap i've ever taken in a class. i woke up all refreshed.

ok last thing. it really bothers me when people say "or whatnot" or "etcetera, etcetera, etcetera." i feel like i could save so many more moments of my life if people just did not say such things. and i could save up all those unused moments and then spend them all at the end on a trip to paris or something. so please, help me get to paris, and stop saying "or whatnot" or "etcetera, etcetera, etcetera." thank you.

i hate those people who put cheesy ass love song lyrics in their profiles and/or blogs!!! so, here we are:

And maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
Well it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
