POO DOLLAR

does that fact that i enjoyed poo dollar make me the most disturbing person alive?

Get on it, Lem, Get UP on it.

You are slacking, dearest. Fo real slacking. You need to post- we'll disappoint our followers. Okay, I have this great idea. You know I am in love with Elsie Flanigan's website, well, she always does this thing called 10 things I love Sundays where she posts 10 things she loves on her blog. And I am going to do that as well...I'm not sure what day of the week it is but I think it is Friday...so my version will be 10 things I love Fridays.

10 Things I love Fridays

1. Rumi- a poet I was introduced to in my intro to middle eastern class...I read a compiation of his poems at camp and now I am reading another one called Rumi: Bridge to the Soul edited by Coleman Barks...Here is an excerpt:
from The Time of Divulging

The dark blue water lotus, niluphar,
says to the Jasmine, Look how
twisted together we are.

Cover blossom to meadow grass,
This is the grace we have wanted.

Check this shit out.

2. The fact that Dave has an Andrew Bird CD that I don't. Dave is the coolest and Noble Beast is a great CD.

3. Jerome Robbins Choreography- I just saw West Side Story last night in stratford and it BLEW MY MIND.

4. Crossword puzzles. There is a story here but I will tell you later, lem. It ain't blog appropriate.....I'm really into crossword puzzles.

5. Chicken Salad- partcularly the kind from The County Foods here in stratford. DARK MEAT. I'm telling you, it makes all the difference.

6. Skype. And mynew computer which has a built in mic and a video camera. This will make my new long distance relationhip work. Yay!

7. My dad's new 40 D Canon EOS camera. WHICH HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO USE AND SHOULD GIVE TO ME. BUT HE WON'T.

8. High waisted skirts...Oh Kappa, thank you for not only accepting this fashion choice but encouraging it (shannon- bite me, i dont care if I look stubby as you say)

9. Cooking. In Kappa kitchen. For my friends. On Saturday night. Go find me a recipe :)

10. YOU. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU!!!

LEM!!

I am back in action!! Communicating, internet, phones :) sigh. Life will be so different now that I will be able to talk to my friends!
Big News: My boo will be coming to DPU that first weekend, so make Adam come too and we will have a foursome...WHAT? WHO SAID THAT?
Love you. Gonna go see some plays.

I miss you lem. I will call you today. I am in lake geneva with my family. i love you. i am listening to cat stevens.

no one has called me lem in a month and a half

i am going to see the avett brothers on sunday, and if they happen to sing our blog title in a song i'll leave it to you on your voicemail.

look at those hunky hunky men (the brothers themselves)

wishing you were here.

ps i know that birthday wish is a day late. i tried to call you on the right day though

happy birthday

happy birthday. answer your phone. CALL ME BEFORE YOU LEAVE FOR CAMP.

i'm on the phone with chuck. we love you

Nothing can Keep us apart

Nothing. See? I am in Florida, with no internet connection, a broken phone but I am still here writing to you lem! Listen, just keep writing and I will find ways to post over the summer....do not abandon our test child.
I have so much to tell you! I will try to call you, but like I said my phone is wonky....
how is the british writers reading coming? how about that b and b? Let us know. Send me letters and packages at camp please! But not mixes because I won't be able to play them...sigh...maybe I should let Tim know that I won't be reached regularly from email?
I'm getting excited.
Have you ever read the griffin and sabine series? They are just books of postcards and letters...but great...get on that.
I love you lem.
Write me.

realization

while lem is at camp, i am going to have to keep this blog on my own. i don't think i can do it. part of the charm is maybe not knowing which of us write what, and i feel like you are abandoning me with a child or something to watch for the summer. i can't believe you.

thank god you found my key card. i am obviously unable to take care of myself. what will i do without you?

in chicago i think my saying will be...the more the merrier. tell stephanie to start packing her bags.
i feel a bit displaced at home.

jesus camp will be great! you will learn about fish sandwiches and teach children about chasing whores out of churches. as steve timm would say.

Lem- found your key card in the pocket of that green sweatshirt you borrowed the last night!

Also, I hung out with steph tonight and she wants to move to chi-town with us! I can't wait :)

Also....I miss you and all our friends and the informal and and and everything...do you think Jesus camp will be okay?
I am worried about it.
My sister has been laughing hysterically at the bachelorette for 2 hours. .........I gotta get outta here.

WishingIwasatDPU,

Lem

i'm stuck at home when i'd rather be the informal. i think living at home this summer may be the worst decision ever.

someone come rescue me?

i'm too attached to my friends.

Blogging against Clear Channel

You know why I love to blog? I love to blog because I am an "alternative voice" in terms of the internet. If you don't believe me check out Campbell's text "Media, Culture and Society: An Introduction to Mass Communication"- any edition will do.

Last final today. Then I am having fun ALL SUMMER.

things lem likes more than media, culture, and society

my last study break. i swear.

greece.


little alex thompson makes us smile.

Finals

Off colored plaid couch,
cracking necks, feet, wrists.
I try to stretch my bad,
it sighs.
Tomorrow it might be angry with me.

Funny that I am studying for
a psych test that cautions against
a sedentary lifestyle, which
causes obesity.

Margaret Thatcher. Thatcherism. Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold night. The swinging sixties. Image vs. Reality. Austin Powers vs. The Permissive Society. The teenager as consumer.

"Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will say 'This was their finest hour'.
-Churchill on The Battle of Britain (lasting from June to September 1940, they survived due to the RAF's superiority over the Luftwaffa-sp?- mainly in regards to the British Spitfire planes)

Someone save me from the basement and my studies?

Additional things we like....

Finishing papers

Communication (you were right lem, it is interesting, don't know why I doubted you :))

summer dresses

clean rooms (even lem!)

pooping...maybe thats just me...

the last five years

the dodos new cds

dinner with our friends in less than an hour

i thought i saw your face today- she and him

more things lemila likes now-a-days:

-the "genius" feature on iTunes
-Andrew Bird's "Heretics" and "Yawny at the Apocalypse"
-the informal
-a little more free time
-warm weather
-Emergen-C pink lemonade

lem?

sunburnt

just doing a little blogging before dinner...bumbumbum...still blogging...doodoodoo...still blogging...

from chicago

it is rainy here. and i am still slightly hungover. but other than that is it quite lovely.

wish me luck while i try, round 2, to find the theatre. cross your fingers.

i miss ya lem. and ian too. and anyone else who reads this.

to lem

I think I am enjoying this Intellectual Engagement stuff. They did that really cool presentation of Jen Adam's letter writing, which was great. And then tonight was Joy of Text which was unreal.
Let me tell you about the Susan's, lem.
She read this essay and this poem by her deceased husband and it was incredibly moving....she told all this background and she was talking about how he died of some form of dimensia and they never really diagnosed it, but in this essay he realizes how he is getting sick and he self-diagnoses and she said you know, most of you didn't get to know him, because he was sick when he was here, so i thought it would be nice for you to get to know him a little bit. And the essay was so moving and so sad and then the poem was stunning. it was really amazing. and obviously you saw the end of steve's but the beginning was even better, here was my favorite line (in a steve voice) "...and i was climbing, i felt s tickle in my throat and was thinking god damnit this better not be a cold cause i just got over the last one..". GREAT SHIT. Makes me really love our profs. I like when the faculty present...its like they are our colleagues, not our profs? right?

sigh.
also.
i wish i was going to chitown with you.
i miss ian.

sick

sick.sick.sick.

must get better before i brave chicago. until then i will binge on lipton tea (all that is in the kitchen) and emergen-c. which amy told me if you drink too much of it, your body just makes you poop out the vitamin C. thank god she told me that before i drank like, 6 a day.

on the brightside. lem loves depauw activities, and going to them now that we are less busy. "joy of text" was wonderful tonight.

The Internet is my boyfriend.

My computer is my ex.

Fork you, you POS dell.

lemila gets mad

we are upset with certain people who write certain newspaper articles.
ya feel me?

ok. i'll stop bitching.

EASTER BUNNY

Where's Waldo? In my heart.

A conversation among friends:

H- "...My freshman year, before I had friends-"
C, K, E- "hahahha"
H-"Actually it's not as funny as it sounds..."

Ask me for an explanation lem.

conglomerate

thank god we got this figured out, right lem?

dog races part 2

lemila pulled the trigger

Chuck and the informal

I spend about 90% of my time with Chuck in the informal...making lists of things I should be doing... oddly enough doesn't include sitting in the informal with chuck...

dog races

is it completely unethical to watch and bet on dog races?
is it more or less ok if you are drunk while you are watching?

because our weekend is going to full of vags and dogs. can hardly wait.

lemila needs followers

hint hint

ps. today i have to go talk to a frat. about vaginas. gag me.

Too tired to sleep

I just switched deoderant. I think it might not be as good as my old deoderant. I have to reapply more often than I would like, or feel is within the bounds of normal.

You should read if you like acting like lemila does: Audition by Michael Shurtleff

Waiting for Ian/Godot

Will he ever come?
Bum...Bum...Bum...

spring.fever

have been cracked out all day long. unable to attend class due to warm weather.

We went in at 7, out at 8:30. Love kids movies.

Monsters vs. Aliens. See it. See it in 3D. We saw it in...2D? Regular D? Whatever. Not as cool.
Avoiding homework on a sunday night,
