New Copyrighted Work:
Sitting in Property class, we were just asked to create a copyrightable work. I wrote the following:
Indignately
Implied
Imperative
Illusions.
Other examples include: drawings of a dinosaur, a sculpture of a pen and clothespin, class notes. All these are sufficiently original (the degree of creativity is super low), fixed, works of authorship.
The best comment of the day:
“There...

rileyanne:
All of my favorite people are in New York and I am less than excited about the prospect of making an entirely new friend group in grad school.
I’ve gotten better at making friends, but I still don’t feel adept.
i’m glad i’m not the only one. moving away from new york and all my favorite people is less than fun. i feel like an awkward teenager again in california with no...
Pictures:
I am finally one of those people that can hang pictures of people they care about on their walls and in frames. I’ve never been one of those people. And as much as I miss NY and everyone there terribly, I’m eternally grateful that I have people to miss. As such, I have people to go home to.

Books
I remembered recently why I studied literature as an undergrad, why I clung so desperately to the stories of others sent out into the world. Because I needed them. I needed to escape my reality, and get involved in something that was not of myself. Over the last year I’ve found myself reading novels less and less, inversely proportional to the fullness of my life. In NY I created this...

Last night I needed to go to the grocery store or the like at 10:30 pm. Being new to this city, it took some googling to figure out what was still open. I eventually found that the Safeway on 19th is 24 hours. (I always like to have a list of 24 hour options for when the insomnia kicks in). I’m used to living in the suburbs where if you are going to a store after 9 it is perfectly...
On Moving to California:
I wish someone would have sat me down and told me this was a bad idea. I am a New Yorker living in Sacramento, California. As such, I am destined to be a fish out of water. With my skinny jeans, black t-shirts, converse, camel lights, and severe reactions to too much heat or sunlight, this is probably not the place for me. Yet, I didn’t connect these dots until after the fact, after I...

on how fake girlfriends are better than real ones:
(disclaimer: great sex could null and void this entire idea)
i currently have a fake girlfriend. if you don’t understand, picture this: currently i am sitting on the right side of the bed typing, internet-ing. rachel is on the the left side of the bed grading paper. aside from the noises inherent in these activities, there is silence. not that weird sort of silence where people i...

She asks you to pay in advance.
You spend the majority of the session telling her the best food combinations from McDonald’s
You spend the half hour drive finding things to tell her and all you can come up with is stories about the idiocy of people you work with.
You are amazingly more successful than she will ever be.
You spend your session...

molls:
I realized today that I’m at the age where whenever anyone apologizes to me for something that happened in the past, I immediately assume that they’re in AA and making amends.
YAY! :D

Pathetic Valentine's Day Mix:
If you are as pathetic and self-deprecating as me, put these on today. It won’t make you feel better, but it’ll be an accurate soundtrack to your misery:
1. Saints and Sailors - Dashboard Confessional
2. My Side of the Story - Hodge
3. Brick - Ben Folds Five
4. Love Ridden - Fiona Apple
5. Between the Bars - Elliott Smith
6. I Taught Myself How to Grow Old - Ryan Adams

LONELY HEARTS CLUB:
For those of us that will be spending Valentine’s Day alone (again) I am beginning to compile a multitude of playlists and movie suggestions to reflect our sentiments of unrequited love. Get excited…or start getting miserable. Either is an appropriate reaction.
