so you know what's just a
teeny bit embarrassing?
ben sneaking up on me and looking over my shoulder and going, hey that's a neat looking page? what is it? when i'm reading off of rhys' site. apparently he likes her colour scheme. see that's not so bad except for the fact i was at the end of
Body at the time and Chris was you know, um, deflowering Lance at the time.
so ben and i are now sitting and chatting except i'm letting him read our assignment for class in half an hour and he's drumming on his shoe and kind of staring off into space instead of doing that.
diversion part two is really not coming out the way i wanted it to. i'm not happy about that. the story it's part of has a light tone to it even when things are serious and for some reason this section just isn't going that way. chris is being a little too depressing and lance is reading in too deeply to the casual sex he had with christina and jc. um. okay. so no one other than dayse has any idea what i'm talking about but that's okay. if i get the time i want, it'll be finished this weekend.
though i probably won't get the time i want because i have to write five million things. i forgot about the fact i have to write a comparision between Baraka's The Dutchman and Albee's The Zoo Story, which, um, means I need to read them. and i finally checked exactly how many pages i'm behind in my holocaust reading. approximately 400 pages in one of the books. in other words, i won't be finishing that book. or even attempting to catch up. blargh.
ben is trying to figure out why we're reading excerpts from Speciman Days...then he realized it was Whitman and went, oh right.
speaking of Whitman, i rode past the grave this morning on the train and smiled because yeah. suddenly whitman, who's been in my backyard for years, has become inspiration.
and because i'm bored. here's the graphic i made for that series.

wow i am so bored. ben and i are gossiping. it's so much fun to gossip with straight boys. cause straight boys gossip so differently. we're talking about how ben and adam used to interrupt jenn and joe last year. like the time he was drunk and jenn answered the door in sheets and ben wouldn't stop asking if she was having sex. ben drunk is fun.
and now i shall go. and use my ben icon. because it's fitting. :)
