(is a good movie)
Oh my goodness, Cecily and I have planned an elaborate hoax, and this week or next we are going to set it in motion. I am acited, it will be muy hilare (Panda is responsible for that terrible abbreviation of hilarious) except only to me and Cecily, so it's the best kind of joke.
Also we're going to try to get Carl to come to Gilbert Club, because Gilbert Club is awesome. It's a handful of professors and students who go to Iggy's to drink and talk science and be sort of rad. Dan (who is like my daddeh and I love him) and Catherine and Kevin (so feckin' cute, I can't even; he's oldish, maybe mid fifties, and he's shy and quiet and super science-y and adorable) and Patty (she's SO crazy, I love it) and Connie (Patty's best friend; she's got a dry sense of humor, it's fab) and Jessica (a super cute student; she has two poodles?) and Jessica's SO, but I can't remember his name, he's nice though, and others, but those are primarily the ones I interact with.
I'm getting over that whole "boy" ordeal so much faster than I thought I would. It's so great to be happy. I just don't even know what I was thinking keeping it up for that long. Wooooooooorst decision ever much? Ah well, I'm prone to hanging around people who crave that victim status, not terribly surprising I didn't dump the entire thing sooner. But it's over now, which is all that matters. Fabulous really. Double plus, Lucas is so proud of me for it. Haha, I am so in love with that boy.
OOH. Here's a fun fact: giant ol' rabbits? The ones I got super excited about and showed to everyone I know? Known as either Giant Grays or like Giant Flemish rabbits or something? YOU CAN BUY THEM. IN MISSOURI. I could OWN one. And I friggin' plan on it, motherfuckers. I will name it something ridiculous, like Fluffles or Socrates. And I will love it forever.
I might go to Nicaragua for the summer. There's a school down there I've been emailing, and I might be able to set up some sort of "teaching in exchange for living quarters" thing, and I'm really excited about it. Lucas might go with me, too! Which I think would actually be really neat. I miss green everything and bustling cities and calm outskirts; spanish spoken quickly and running together, strong and stubborn and open and warm. Hm yes, I think I'm growing more and more fond of this Nicaragua plan.

hat is UP with that Casey kid. That is freaking awesome. He just picked that other dude right on up and plopped him down with a vengeance. Rock on, chubby kid. Rock on.
(also a weird proxy cache thing keeps happening with this paragraph and I don't know how to make it go away so you'll just have to DEAL)
LORD almighty it is four in the morning. What the hell, brain? Well, good mornin' all, I hope you have just a splendid day.

The Haps
Well hey there.
I find out about housing in the next week or so, that's kind of exciting.
I really really really freakin' love Lucas Crane. He is truly one of the sweetest people I've ever known. He actually cares about me and wants to talk with me and other weird things that I was starting to think were rare. But no, I just associate with terrible people. (Sometimes they are also the best. But the ones that are just the worst? I'm getting rid of slowly. Go me, right? Progress!) He is also basically the most romantic person I know. Crazy, right? My life goal is to now find a girl with some of the same mentality of this kid. He is kind of becoming a very good friend of mine. I like that a lot. ALSO I'm slowly making him more social, I'm psyched. Because I want more people to know him. I just wanna show him off.
Hmmmm.. I might go to Arkansas with Ceci this summer.
Genny and London are going to get married. I've decided. I'd be after Genevieve myself if it weren't for her damned improper orientation. But this works out perfectly, I still will get her around all the time.
I've been chatting with emily again, it's really nice. Though, Jesus Christ is she insane with her mate choice.
Rae's birthday is tomorrow, she's getting so old I don't even.
Holy crap the Moab incident. Horrible. Just. All around, oh my gosh.
Jacklyn is back in town, so that's kind of..haha, I'm a fan. She's such a sweet girl. I think I might start something up with her. But we'll see.
And that is what is new with me. Well, lots of other things, but. I don't terribly care for writing right now.
Bod hapus.

Day 1-Morning
Eric woke up very early and inadvertently woke me and Cecily up. After Eric was done, Cecily and I hopped in the bathroom. The contents of the bathroom were as such: a toilet and sink, both very modern and nice; all four walls were tiled, as was the floor, which sloped downward to a drain in the corner of the room; a shower head that didn't work; a faucet lower down, a bucket to collect water from that faucet, and a smaller bucket to, y'know, make easier access to the water. So that you could bathe with it. Uhm, le duh. Actually, it's sort of a rad way to bathe. After three weeks, I was very glad to have a real, hot shower, but it was still quite fun. And much less wasteful of water.

A Glimpse Of Old Delhi
We drove through the (relatively) cleanly streets of New Delhi and progressed into Old Delhi, where our hotel was located. Old Delhi is, as you would imagine, older than surrounding areas. The buildings are solid stone structures with simple but classical Indian architecture, though it is sometimes hard to see since the fronts of buildings are often covered by numerous signs. (Some memorable signs from our street in Old Delhi: Hercules, Steel Balls, Solid Steel Balls, looots of bike shops-it was sort of the bike shop street, so. y'know). The road was as wide as the usual two lane road, but it seemed much, much more narrow. On one side of the road large trucks (dump-truck style, and pimped out. they decorate the trucks and rickshaws hardcore), rickshaws (often with their owners asleep on top of them; on our street mostly bicycle rickshaws), and on both sides of the road were stalls, kiosks, tables and rugs on the ground offering wares. It was fabulous.

Hello, New Delhi
The first day of the trip consisted almost solely of sitting in an airborne vessel or, worse, simply sitting. Our first flight was from the SLC airport to Chicago - a very quick flight (or it seemed so at the time). Our plane encountered some technical difficulties once we landed though, and we all ended up sitting for two hours on the tarmac. That made us late for our flight from Chicago to New Delhi, but luckily our group was so large that they held the plane for us - though we felt awful about holding up the other passengers, so we ran through the Chicago airport to our gate. Running through a ridiculously large airport with backpacks on was sort of an adventure, but I would be fine never doing it again. Once we boarded, I had 18 hours with which to experience my first transatlantic flight. (Also the longest commercial flight offered in the world). It was dreadful really. I sat next to Sonora and Owens and Cecily. Take that as you will. I did however watch The Men Who Stare At Goats, and it was pretty fabulous. I recommend.

Back In The U.S.(S.R.)
So. I happen to be back in the Americas again. Adjusting is difficult. Incredibly so, actually. I know nothing is probably different but. Goodness, that does not seem like the case.
