Quote of the day: "I don't like noisy things. I like guys in drag." I said this to my friend Cal during Algebra II. I'm still not sure what the non sequitur is supposed to be, and it didn't even make sense at the time. However, it is true; I hate noise, and guys in drag are funny. Especially British guys in drag.

Event: Instead of actually doing my English III homework, I spent all of my study hall rewriting Emerson's aphorisms from the worksheet. I ended up with things like: "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us, except when the rest of the bridge lies before us and a speeding train lies behind us" and "What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not been discovered. Now, however, we know that these virtues are mild hallucinations, a deep sense of relaxation, and a wicked case of the munchies." Silly and unoriginal, I'll grant you, but I got to go around the rest of the day with my nose in the air, stating snobbishly, "I've rewritten Emerson." I also got to tell my U.S. history teacher that my hobbies include "fixing Emerson."

It's the simple things in life that get to me.
