bad logic
Me: (on discussing a midnight Jack in the Box run) Should we go? We should go. We should get more mozzarella sticks. I have a surplus of marinara sauce leftover from last time, so we need more mozzarella sticks.
Malinda: But... but if we go, then we'll just get more marinara sauce, and it won't solve the problem.
Me: What? No. That's bad logic.
Malinda: ...What?
Me: It's bad logic if you don't get the desired outcome.
Malinda: But... I thought the desired outcome was to get rid of the marinara sauce.
Me: No, the desired outcome is to get mozzarella sticks. God, Malinda. Your logic is terrible.

Why the friendzone is bullshit and self-proclaimed...
angels-and-angles:
As defined by urban dictionary, the friendzone is…
“When you are expected to support a girl you really like while she searches for a smarter, richer, and more handsome boyfriend. There is little you can do without feeling like a dick. All in all, one of the meanest things a girl can do, whether they mean it or not.”
and ”The perennial location of nice guys everywhere.”

i don't say this as often as i should...
…but I’m blessed. Not only with the most functional, loving family I know, but with wonderful friends. There are two in particular who, upon hearing about my potential future plans, haven’t hesitated in supporting me whole-heartedly. I only belatedly realized how conflicted they must have been when they heard the good news, and how much they’ve worked to bury that conflict...

I’m in. It’s insane how unreal it feels.
And it feels so good to know I’ll have somewhere to go in the fall.

“This book gives me more information about penguins than I care to have.”
– In 1944 a children’s book club sent a volume about penguins to a 10-year-old girl, enclosing a card seeking her opinion.
She wrote, “This book gives me more information about penguins than I care to have.”
American diplomat Hugh Gibson called it the finest piece of literary criticism he had ever...

growing up
I have been steadfastly ignoring the new year because - let’s be honest - January 1st is a completely arbitrary date, but I can’t ignore the birthday I have looming up ahead of me. I’ll be turning 22 in a day or so an hour, and that’s that - I won’t officially be considered all that young anymore. In fact, some might even say that I’m an “adult.”

while looking over visa forms for my mom...
Mom: So I guess I can't send these tomorrow. I'll have to wait for Uncle to send the I-864A form, right?
Me: Yeah. When did they send this to you? (checks date) June 11?! MOM!
Mom:
Me: Mom, you know you have to do this within one year, right? Or you'll have to start the immigration process all over again?!
Mom:
Me:
Mom: ...I thought I had more time.

My apps have gone complete at about half my schools, and the other half seem to be processing as fast as they can. There’s only one that’s been completely MIA this whole time. WHY. All in all, I have to say that I’m pretty impressed at how the schools have been working right over the holidays. I turned it all in just a bit before Christmas, and to have heard from half my schools...

mantra to live by
Time to ignore all my law school applications.
Things will happen when they happen, and stalking my status checkers or TLS forums is only going to drive me nuts.
Time to enjoy being with the people I love.

my family Christmases
…usually wind up with my family jammed in a hotel room somewhere in the middle of America, living off late-night diner food and chips. I am actually very, very familiar with attempting to go into national parks or monuments on Christmas Day, and being informed by park rangers that we can’t go in because “no one is working, because it’s Christmas.” (I love how that...

Listening to Childish Gambino’s Camp while packing for Vegas. As un-wholesome as it all sounds, this is pretty much on-par for a family Christmas for me.
Queued up a bunch of Christmas-at-Disneyland pictures for the weekend. :)
Happy Holidays, all.
