The Freshman Experiment

Music: Primal Scream - Loaded

I know, I know, Valentine’s Day is completely commercialized and people shouldn’t need a day to show their loved ones that they care. I get all of this. I was never too keen on Valentine’s Day either, even when I was a girlfriend. But all of that doesn’t mean I didn’t smile when I almost walked over a bunch of carnations laying outside my door this morning, two of them from anonymous givers. And last night TK gave me a bar of chocolate that is halfway gone all ready.

I sort of feel bad about not getting anyone anything, but like I said, Valentine’s Day isn’t a huge thing to me. Also, I’m kind of upset because both Spaz and I had to cancel my visit; she’s going home for the weekend because she can’t stand it at her college right now and I have way too much work to get done. So, I’ll be staying here with the DeniseGirls, wallowing in my singledom.

Music: Lennon - Brake on Your Car

While I’m having an awesome time at LAC right now, my friend Spaz isn’t enjoying college or her friends. She called me last night at 4 a.m. crying but I missed it.Even though I entered into the group of friends rather late I’ve turned into the Mother Hen.

I mentioned coming up to visit her a month ago and I think the time’s right. I want to get there on Valentine’s Day aka Single Awareness Day so I can take her out to dinner and she can rant to me about the shittiness that’s dominating her life. I don’t want to leave campus but I’m needed and I hate it when my friends are upset. If a two hour bus ride on my part can make her happy then I’ll do it.
