happy new year!
so, i stopped posting for a while there. and by "posting", i mean saying anything of worth. the problem is, i did two things that are unrelated, but will seem related to many people. those people are uninformed. here are the facts:
1) a feeling was growing inside me. i felt that urs was more into our relationship than i was. i thought that i was a bad person for leading her on because of this. therefore, we are on a break. it coincides with winter break. i honestly do not know if this break will continue or end. obviously, you will not be the first to know.
2) i realized that i did not want to leave tufts (graduate, you know) on non-speaking terms with jen clark. so i emailed her. we converse now, semi-regularly.
now, before you think anything, stop.
now, give me benefit of the doubt. i am a good person. know this.
finally, i'm mad at myself with this site. its stale and listless, not unlike thad. i think it needs more bite, but i really do not intend to actually hurt people's feelings. i just feel strongly about lots of things. ok, maybe i want to hurt people's feelings. but just realize a few things.
1a) this is my soapbox. if you don't like what i write, there are two things to do- change my mind (preferred) or close the window (discouraged). i'm open-minded, but i like logic, as opposed to ... no logic.
2b) if i think someone says something stupid.... i don't think they are stupid. i don't think many people are actually stupid. and it should be noted that IF I TALK TO YOU, THERE IS A HIGH CHANCE NO MATTER WHAT I SAY I DO NOT ACTUALLY THINK YOU ARE STUPID. please refer to this above line ALL THE TIME... if you need reminding. and i hope you don't.
ok, fine, i posted.
my wisdom teeth come out on the 6th. urs comes in on the 14th. driving back to school on the 17th. will post after that, maybe... or maybe sooner! let's see what people think about this.
return of niv!

ok one, my face didn't swell up, so no fun pictures. two, god hated that night, so let's not say that He approved or imply it or anything. third, you make good points and you should talk to us more about your life, dickbag. (get it, get it? irony, kinda)

And not captain P. Thad, you need to bring out Thadblog for the new year. Make it a resolution or something.
re: chubby bunny
i'm not listless, i'm listfull!
or something.
anyways, as far as the site goes, i agree with you that it is "listless". i don't think you necessarily 'want' to hurt people's feelings, but instead you just want to say some things that you believe and know that if you do so you will hurt people's feelings. it's a fine line, but i think you are a smart enough person and know well enough how certain people will react to be able to determine what you should and shouldn't say here. at the same time, this is your place and you have the right, no, the obligation to express yourself here without feeling censored or anything. as they say, you can keep some of the people happy all of the time, and all of the people have some of the time, but you can't keep all of the people happy all of the time.
i guess what i'm saying, in another one of my drawn-out and pointless statements, is that you should definitely take it up a notch, but know your limits. you can certainly say anything you want about me (except about that february night sophomore year - that was between you, me, and god - so let's keep it that way).
with regards to this response title, you better take some pictures of your face after you get your wisdom teeth out :)
i'm back to tufts this sunday. go pats!
