This week, while walking to class, I've heard a lot of little conversations that seem completely random because I have no context for them. Here were the best two from this week...
(Between two girls walking to class)
"I don't think she really understands what we're talking about..."
"Yeah, I know, and she snores really loud, too!"
(Between two guys outside the library)
"Hey, dude did you study abroad last year?"
"Yeah, man I went to Peru! I ate guinea pig, man, you know that!"
Three updates in one day, pretty good, I think :P

Querido Joana:
No sé cómo decirte esto: eres una pervertida. Creo haberme dado cuenta de esto cuando tu hermano me mordió en el probador de señoras y te vi grabando tus iniciales en mi mejor amigo. Estoy segura de que eres lo suficientemente Mongólica
Con pena,

Soy inutil...
A genie offers to grant you ONE wish, what would you wish for? Um, duh! More wishes.
If you could be any animal, which one would you choose and why? I would be a dolphin because I could swim really fast and speak/understand their secret language.
You can return to ANY time period. Which one do you choose and why? I’d like to go back (just for one day) to 1944. That’s the year that my grandmother was a senior in high school, I would like to see what she was like.
You have to belong to another culture. Which one do you choose and why? Somewhere in Europe…maybe France. They have really good cuisine
If the year consisted of only one season, which would you choose? Spring because there are flowers and its always the perfect temperature.
Your are kicked out of your country. Which new one do you move to and why? Why have I been kicked out? Oh, I don’t know…Australia or New Zealand I guess.
You can be friends with any fictional character. Who do you choose? Why? Jim from the Office. Do I have to explain why?
You get to meet any historical figure. Who do you choose and why? Martin Luther King Jr. I really admire him.
If you could have any magical power, what would you want and why? To be able to snap my fingers and be anywhere in the world that I choose.
You have to change your race. Which would you choose and why? Um, I don’t know, anything.
You can outlaw any one thing of your choosing. What is it and why? I would outlaw vicious name-calling.

If you could learn any language, which would you choose? Portuguese and Korean.
Ah ha! A fountain of youth! At what age would you rather drink from it? Why. I wouldn’t want to because I wouldn’t want to live my life over again.
Plant or animal (not human): which one would you rather be? Why? Plant I guess, just because it’s so different from being human.
If you could get rid of anything in this world, what would it be? Why? I would get rid of fear (in all forms) because I think it’s the cause of most unhappiness in the world.
Should everyone be carnivores, omnivores, or herbivores? Why? Omnivores, that way people get enough protein and fiber and all that.
Would you ever make the world one race if you had the chance? No, because diversity is so important.
Would you ever make the world one religion if you had the chance? No.
All but ONE modern technology is outlawed. Pick the one that stays. Why? The internet. How else am I going to see the new PostSecrets?
You can have any hair colour. Which one would you choose? I’d like it to be a bit lighter than it is now…not blonde but blonde highlights maybe :P
You can have any eye colour. Which one would you choose? Green.
What is you dream profession (logical or not)? Super-heroine, artist, writer, and many more.
If you had to live on another planet, which would you choose? Saturn, because I could roller-skate around the rings.
What holiday do wish could be celebrated 4 times a year? Why? I love Easter, so maybe that one. Or Thanksgiving…but it wouldn’t be as special if we celebrated it more than once a year.
Would you prefer to live under the sea or on a cloud? Why? Oohh, both, but if I’m living on a cloud, I probably can fly, and that would be awesome, so cloud.
What is your dream home? I don’t know.
What is your ideal location? I have many. A small-medium cosmopolitan city with art museums and interesting people.
What month should the year consist entirely of if you have to choose? Why? Again, the diversity is what makes life interesting, but if I’m forced to choose, I would say May.
Would you rather live outside or be forced to stay inside forever? Live outside.
What gender are you? Given the choice, would you change it? Why? No, I’m fine as is thanks.
What one issue are you the most passionate about? I don’t know…existentialism maybe. Creative expression, tolerance, many more.
You can only eat ONE food for the rest of your life. What do you pick? Hmm, all natural yogurt I think.
You can only drink ONE liquid for the rest of you life. What do you pick? Water or vitamin water or rum and coke :P
If you had to see everything in only one colour, which one would you choose. Green.
What one mythological creature do you wish you could see in real life? A unicorn.

A poem by Rainer Maria Rilke
Childhood
It would be good to give much thought, before
you try to find words for something so lost,
for those long childhood afternoons you knew
that vanished so completely -and why?
We're still reminded-: sometimes by a rain,
but we can no longer say what it means;
life was never again so filled with meeting,
with reunion and with passing on
as back then, when nothing happened to us
except what happens to things and creatures:
we lived their world as something human,
and became filled to the brim with figures.
And became as lonely as a sheperd
and as overburdened by vast distances,
and summoned and stirred as from far away,
and slowly, like a long new thread,
introduced into that picture-sequence
where now having to go on bewilders us.
