Just think what we could spread in 15!

I am amazed the speed at which gossip travels! It's absolutely absurd, and completely hiliarious - so I must find a way to share my amusement. I have tracked the following events through the use of cell phone call logs and AIM time stamps provided by involved parties. Details will be omitted to protect the privacy of the few whose business hasn't already spread and evolved in form and shape like some exotic viral strain through the insane high-speed digital internet version of a gossip mill that is the Harvard Law School Drama Society. *gasps for air after the effort of typing such a long sentence*

*Note, John and Jill were the only ones that were at the party the night before*

1:51 PM
John IMs Jane details from a party that occured the night before. According to John, he mentioned it only conversationally and had no idea what would pass in the next 11 - count them - 11 minutes

Somewhere between 1:51 - 1:55 PM
Jane tells her roommates. Judy is a roommate, and Judy tells Jack. We know this because at exactly 1:55 PM, Jill gets a text message from Jack teasing her about the party.

1:55 - 2:02 PM
Jack and Jill then proceed to text back and forth until Jill figures out where the hell Jack was that he would've heard that information, and then, figuring out the link:

2:02 PM
Jill IMs John (in jest) saying he's got an amazingly huge mouth. John is confused until Jill tells him how it must've gone from John to Jane, from Jane to Judy, Judy to Jack and Jack to Jill then Jill went out to fetch a pail full of goodness only knows what - but certainly someone will be gossiping about the pail's contents very shortly.

A new chapter in this book called Law School...

I do believe my section and I have turned a corner as law students. I heard about it all the time - how we'd come to stop stressing/caring so much about everything. I must say, it makes class more amusing. Yesterday in property the teacher asked a question that a whole row of students didn't know, and the students were pretty cool with the not knowing. No embarrassment, no fidgeting, just an honest "I don't know what you're looking for". One student even said - much to my enjoyment - "Mmm. Why, that's a good question" then made it clear that he didn't know. Another student was pressed on a different question and passed it off to someone just returning from the restroom - "why don't you ask Kyle". The teacher turned to Kyle and re-asked the question and Kyle replied with "Sir. I have only just emerged from the bathroom." Ha. That cracks me up even now. A friend of mine decided to just close his laptop and get up and walk out of Torts one day. Oh and then there was the time when the teacher went over time, and someone turned their laptop off. The "Shutting down" music of a windows operating system echoed through the classroom in defiant protest. Oh, *sigh*, I will miss my section.

Spring Break '07: My Apartment

I cannot believe it's almost April and my 1L year is almost over. I've decided to use this break to try and get a balance of rest and work. I've given myself allllll weekend to do nothing but sit in my apartment and eat, watch movies, take the occaisional walk when it's decent outside etc. No work. It's only been a day and a half (no Friday classes! yay!) and already I feel better. Between that link to the website with all the scrubs episodes from every season, sex and the city and movies on demand, and quickly diminshing reserves of ice cream, I am having a great time. When the weekend is over I might have to make a trip to the gym because right now I reek of sloth, but I deserve a break. I think I will also use this time to write a little, because I don't feel as if I really wrote enough in here during my 1L year and now it's almost over. I'm surprised to feel sadness at writing that line. How long ago was it when I was considering leaving law school for a year and teaching English in some random country?

Currently I am watching Batman Begins and wondering how in the world it is that Christian Bale got so hot. Quickly my mind thinks to the statistical probability of ever encountering a man like that in real life.

Anyway, I feel that I should write something about Parody since it took up so much of my life this past month. It was great. I think I showed my legs more during the run of the show than I have in the last 17 years of my life (I think it was at approximately 7 that I got shame.) The short of it is that I survived. And now random people come up to me around the law school and tell me how incredibly long my legs are. I usually replace 'incredibly' with 'ridiculously' when I think about them, but it's nice that I took a risk and no one mocked me openly lol. I suppose they (the legs) are not so bad.

Ok, enough for now. Christian's doing push-ups.

Ain't Gotta Lie to Kick It

In high school, my best friend and I quoted that one all the time.

I re-read a few of my old posts tonight, and I found this passage. Still rings true :)

"....The Player, the Genuinely-Good Guy, and the Good-Confused Guy. The player usually just puts it out there right from the start; I'm not about trying to have a serious relationship, I'm just trying to have a good time, etc. The Genuinely-Good Guy is the one that gets over-looked. Think about the cute, fun, funny and pretty much all around great guy that you know that you just don't want even though you can't articulate why. The Good-Confused Guy, however, is a good guy at heart, but he is - as the name implies - confused. He is unclear about what he wants - a relationship or dating, distance or no distance, you or someone else, etc. This guy is the most dangerous because, since he's a good guy, you feel safe with him; you don't expect a good person to hurt you for no clear reason. Also, this guy, since there's good in him, makes you hold out hope that you wouldn't hold out for a 'player'; he'll get over his confusion, he'll [stop sending mixed signals] etc. The fact of the matter is that you never know what a confused good guy is going to do." Because they don't even know.

The problem is sometimes you don't even know you're dealing w/ a confused one. Especially if you're confused yourself. And sometimes The Player pretends to be Good just to throw you off.

So what's the solution? The Genuinely Good guy? Ha, no. Go for the obvious player. He knows he ain't gotta lie to kick it. You know exactly what to expect ;-)
