I think i've been starting to become a little more organized, which is surprising. I've already started my Christmas shopping, two weeks before I did last year I've already started making plans for the upcoming summer, four months before I did last year I've been planning out cool trips for my upcoming vacations, which I didnt do at all last year So.......it's looking sorta like this Winter break- a week in LA with dad and the cousins, (possibly) a few days in NYC with Natasha and Kira Spring break- Sarah invited me to go home with her to Florida. Good times ahead Summer- my resume and writing sample are in the mail, on their way to Barney Frank's Crafts street, Newton office. I'm planning on also signing up for one of the free birthright Israel trips...it sounds like a fairly awesome way to spend two weeks. It's nice to have even just a tentative idea of what your next few months are gonna look like. I remember going crazy this spring not knowing which state i'd be living in in six months. UNI also has a pretty intense one-semester exchange program with Oxford that a bunch of us (including tentativly me?) will hopefully be going on second semester of next year. Not the most exotic foriegn country to go and study in, but you've go to start somewhere. I've also spiced up the upcoming semester's schedule with a bunch of cool-sounding classes. I'll be taking ballroom dance, guitar method & theory, and acting for nonmajors as well as the usual four academic classes. This semester I sort of put free time above taking lots of electives, which was fun, but I'm ready for a change in janruary.

So this time it's really been awile. It's been several months, and these have probably been the most significant months I've had in a long time. First real internship Third real job First time driving to work on a daily basis (instead of taking the T.....but only for a week, while I had to be in Concord every day) First time getting really sick at a party First time driving the beltway (it's fucking scary...) First time canvassing and volunteering for a political campaign that I believed in (this one didnt work out) First time living away from home for an extended period of time First time falling in love (this one didnt work out either) First time voting First time making love First time losing love (before any of you feel bad for me, it was 110% my fault, but I learned so much...) But most significantly of all, in the past few months I think i've learned who my freinds really are. Who I can call at 4AM and who wont be mad at me for calling. You guys know who you are...chances are since your reading this, I'm probably refering to you. Thank you for being there every step of the way and more. Thanks for being there when my family wasnt or I couldnt manage on my own. Thank you for keeping me sane (but not too sane...) day after day after year. Thanks, guys. You mean everything to me.

so yeah, i havnt posted in awile. first things first. I'll be at BU next year, in the honors program that my parents wanted me to go too. Does this please me? I guess so. There are plenty of worse places to be. My mom cried when i got the letter. Yuliya and Leah and I will be college buddies too, which will be exciting. They are mad cool. I do feel mildly dissapointed with this year though, and not just in the academic sense. As the summer rolled to a close in September, I had a detailed and specific plan for what I wanted from this year, everything that I really wanted to achieve and to do. When I got really sick during the first week of school, the plan went on the back burner, suspended in time until i could get back to where i wanted to be and start it. Well, i'm still waiting for that to happen. I think it's because for medical reasons I've been the least involved with things at school in as long as I can remember, but this year I've been feeling all along that somethings been missing. I new project, maybe. I knew challenge. A new direction. A new relationship. Call it whatever. I feel like (I know that) I'm looking for something, but I can never really put my finger on just what, and It's really bothering me. On a slightly happier note though, I think the great part of this year is not just cruising or being eighteen, but getting to know yourself better. I feel like almost all of us are nocticably more in touch now with what we really think about things, how we really feel about people or situations or life in general than we were in April of last year. The bewilderment factor is going down. Yeah, this year, I feel like I've survived. But there are still so many people I'd like to be closer with, so many things i'd like to experience or to try. And maybe now I'm a little bit more equiped to do that. I hope so. I have to go. love | | Saturday, March 13th, 2004 | | 1:54 pm |
and my head is spinning
Two interesting things came to light so far today, and they sort of balanced each other out. First, I got a $5,000/year academic merit scholorship to Northeastern University, which I thought was pretty fucking cool. The second one is that Radomski decided to give me a C- on my presentation, while giving my parter a B+. Now, I've talked with a bunch of people, and as far as I can discern this is the ONLY discrepancy from his general procedure of giving partners in one project the SAME GRADE. Not to mention that it was, in fact, a B+ presentation. WHAT THE FUCK? I think that the only logical assumption at this point is that Radomski is the biggest shitball in all of Newton South history. Clearly. Fuck that. My official UVM acceptance letter came in the mail today. It is very pretty. They have several admitted student day programs in April, when you can even get a hotel discount in Burlington if you bring your acceptance letter. So, coolness to Vermont. And DEATH to Newton South, and Physics. So, um, yeah. Rockin' the duel posts per day thang. This morning has been eventful. Anybody know what's going on tonight? | | 11:40 am |
I am undefeated.
For everyone I didn't have time to call yet, I got into UVM yesterday. It was pretty fly. This makes my season record 3/3, so I guess that means right now I would be making lots of money, were I a professional sports team. Last night was so much fun. Ronit and I failed in our mission, and there were a few awkward moments with another member of our party, but other thant that, I doubt it could have gone much better....Happy Birthday Sean! I totally think you and Tim will both be doing that on a regular basis someday. That as in, standup comedy. I filled out applications yesterday to do volunteer stuff for both the DNC in July and the Kerry campaign sooner. If I really believe in this stuff, than I've got to do more than just debate pointless nuances with Josh. I've got to get involved. I also still have several hundred dollars in American Airlines credit, so I am totally feeling an L.A. month with the cousins sometime in early summer. It's going to be a good one, I can tell. I'm so glad Portnoy is home. That boy makes me so happy. Dad and I are going to make the trek up to Burlington and check out the school some weekend soon, now that UVM has offically offered me a spot. I now have the option of smoking away four years of my life. If everywhere else I apply turns me down (how much longer can this kind of luck hold?), I'm thinking I'll end up at Northeastern. I loooooove Boston, and it's a kickass school. Natalie can vouch for that. Nikki's mom even teaches there....who knew? This is long, but I figure hey, I havn't posted in awile. Hope everybodys having a great weekend! -Dave | | Friday, March 12th, 2004 | | 3:55 pm |

You're Love in the Time of Cholera!
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Like Odysseus in a work of Homer, you demonstrate undying loyalty by
sleeping with as many people as you possibly can. But in your heart you never give
consent! This creates a strange quandary of what love really means to you. On the
one hand, you've loved the same person your whole life, but on the other, your actions
barely speak to this fact. Whatever you do, stick to bottled water. The other stuff
could get you killed.

happy Vday, world!
Okay folks, I have a question here *drumroll*. It seems like, for the past few days, every time I say "happy valentine's day" or "happy almost valentines day" to someone (especially you womenfolk), they get this big choked-up look on thier face, like they want to cry. WHY IS THIS?!?! Valentine's day is perhaps the happiest holiday we celebrate. It's a day set aside every year, for the celebration of love! Sure, I understand, not having a significant other today can put a damper on things......but really, is that soo crucial to a holiday that celebrates love in general? And isn't even limited to romantic love? Dude, if your not in love RIGHTNOW, you probably will be at some point during the coming year. Just think of where we'll be a year from now.....how many new people we'll all meet, all the rad places we'll all go. So chill, and don't let whining spoil what's probably the coolest of holidays for yourself. -Dave | | Monday, February 9th, 2004 | | 8:13 pm |
blah.
righto, so, eight more weeks with crutches instead of four. life is haaaaaaaaaaaaararsh | | Saturday, February 7th, 2004 | | 6:20 pm |

It's about that time again...
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! I cant walk. fuck this Today started with some pretty negative feelings, but I took a nap in the afternoon and did some reflecting. I've decided that MOST of the things that I bitch to ya'll about are my own fault. Yup, thats right. My fault. Either bad decisions, overly exessive cation, or the opposite. I don't really think I'm entitled to much pride, especially after this year. Im getting pretty darn good with the crutches, so perhaps I won't need a wheelchair to get around school, after all. THAT would be pretty kickass. My perception of Mr. Todd after fifty minutes is that he sucks, and might very well be depressed. After hearing folk rave about his amazing interestingness for two years, that was something of a letdown. but perhaps the man will surprise me yet. The Patriots are pretty cool, I'll say Adam more than Tommy. But hey, we won. Which means we won. Which means we WON. I met Mr. Murphy last Friday, before I had surgery. He seems pretty chill. So at least I'll have one class not to sleep through this semester. Also, Percaset is my newest best friend. Honestly, I've never in my life have I felt so much at peace with the world. And I still have three quarters of a bottle left!=) I need to be careful, though. One thing this world does NOT need as another Rush Limbach. So yeah, I guess that's all the news that's fit to print. PS WE MADE IT THROUGH TOO SECOND SEMESTER!!! ROCK ON -Dave | | Wednesday, January 28th, 2004 | | 4:57 pm |
