Dear friends, I need your help!


We have recently adopted two lovely kitties. They are both mellow, but intelligent and curious of their surroundings. The pictures do not do them justice; they are truly beautiful cats.
But they both need names!

Kitty #1: Male, 10 weeks old, mixed tabby and Bengal. He'll grow up to have angular, sleek features. Names "Chopin" and "Monet" have been suggested, but we need more!

Kity #2: Female, 1 1/2 years old, Siamese. She has bright blue eyes! Names "Mischa" and "Clara" are already top contenders.

The rules:
--Cats must have human names
--Names but be less than three syllables



Help me name those kitties!

Not to sound whiny, but...

I'm a senior, dammit.

This apparently went around to all of the papers in NC. Oh well....

So this afternoon, in a fit of boredom, I decided to google this lj's username. Among various other random sites, I came upon one labeled under Dartmouth. Confused, I clicked on the link, which took me to a feed from the Dartmouth website. Apparently, they have some type of Internet tracking tool set up through the school newspaper. This search engine of sorts apparently tracks any mention of Dartmouth on the Internet; though I had discussed it once, I was picked up from this Feedster tool. From my link, those checking the feed are linked to this site and can read any of the entries.

So Dartmouth, if you're reading this, what you're doing is really, really, creepy. Not necessarily a violation of any strict code, but nevertheless creepy.

Speaking of colleges, I finally finished all of my applications today. Huzzah. Now comes the wait.

"Katie—or Kate or Kaitlyn or Kayla—has her face buried in my armpit. I can’t imagine it smells great in there, but maybe she likes my masculine musk. Old Spice, sweat, chlorine, and bacteria, mmm. Half the girls I take here have some name that begins with a hard K sound. Mothers were terribly uncreative seventeen years ago; they all addressed their daughters by that unattractive consonant, the guttural grievance in the back of your throat. Tonight I can’t remember her name, so I call her “Kay-Kay” and sound like I’m coughing up phlegm. She adores her nickname.

Girls want romance. They spend their lives absorbed in these Harlequin daydreams, spoon-fed relationship propaganda since birth. These infant K girls sit in pastel high chairs; their faces smeared with creamed turnips or spaghetti, and watch Snow White and Cinderella kiss their handsome princes. The writers and animators of these cartoons are just geeky dudes who can’t get laid, so they construct epic romances of horseback-riding heroes and swooning maidens. Show me a princess singing about how hot she is, and I’ll show you a sweaty guy in a backroom, desperate for a babe. We’re all brainwashed into romantic idealism. Any girl that tells you otherwise is lying."

I LOVE YOU WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART BECAUSE YOU WROTE
SYMPHONY nO. 25 IN G MINOR
(only one of two symphonies in a minor key that you composed!)

YOU PLAY THE THEME SONG TO MY LIFE.

and by the law of syllogism because
A=B: mozart is the theme song of my life
B=C: music keeps my grades up because it helps me study

MOZART SAVED MY GPA.

Many, Many Holiday Blessings.

Santa and I: the only folks working on Christmas Eve.

This whole college essay thing is becoming extremely irksome.

I've decided that I want to really emphasize my interpersonal/communicative skills, and wrote some 340 words on working at ComedyWorx. It's insubstantial and doesn't feel "good enough". I'm dissatisfied, and unsure of where to go from here. I don't want to resort to relying on extracurriculars--"one time, in student government/prom committee/YLA/piano/saving small African children, I did this and it was great and I learned a lot".

Maybe I should just be blunt. "Whether it's reporting the daily school announcements over the intercom, or helping a senior member of my church choir with the tempo of Handel's Messiah, I strive to forge connections between the seemingly unrelated; to unite the mundane with the unpredictable."

Or not. bLAhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Oh, the paradox! I can't communicate how I am a good communicator!

So Nelly wrote this song called "Grillz" about the pleasures of having gold/platinum/diamond teeth. I seriously don't get the sex appeal. Bling does not belong in your mouth, folks.

How did December suddenly integrate itself into the passage of time? My high school experience is 7/8 complete. Just gotta get through four easy exams; the worst is done.

However, I'm inclined to think that pesky physics has forced its way into every normal aspect my life, which creates a bit of tension. Last night I saw "King Kong" and found myself contemplating the tension forces on the bridge that lowered Naomi Watts to face the mighty Kong. Oh dear. Hopefully this sudden zeal will stop disturbing typical activities.

Last night was lovely, though I suppose my memory has already begun reorganizing and warping events to as I perceived them, rather than how they actually occured. Yup. Either I'm in denial, or things are just too good to be true.
