i am in love. with orange juice. odwalla orange juice. when it's good (and the latest run on costco has produced some AAA stuff -- no joke), it's like drinking jesus christ's golden cartoon halo in cool pulpy liquid form.

besides for OJ, i'm also in love with the following (order unclear): slacking, working hard, superlatives, irony, kurt vonnegut, horror movies (especially when seen with a girl who spooks easily -- that feeling of nails digging into your arm timed to coincide precisely with freakyscary stuff happening onscreen mixes to send quite the chemical cocktail pumping through your bloodstream), removing vowels from words -- srsly!

people who force me to revise my worldview. (if you have superpowers, i want to meet you for sure times 2!)

i've been on kind of a streak of meeting randoms lately. the only "horror story" i've got (so far -- knock on wood) is the girl who tried with mind-bending earnestness to convince me that an eel was a kind of snake (don't fuck with my 3rd grade bio knowledge -- especially when it's augmented with animal planet!).

all-in-all most people are nice, which is a nice way of saying they're interesting when they're new but they don't really grab me (and probably vice-versa). you know the friends you have where any random thought they share is interesting (and hopefully vice-versa)? i don't know the ingredients or the recipe, but sometimes that just happens, and it kicks ass. i'd like some more of that please!
