…one last chance to guess…

2) LAHAR
3) TRICLINIC
If
you got 1 right, you are a geology minor! If you got 2 right, you are a
geology major! If you got all 3 right, you are as nerdy as me! And for
that lowly trojan/cougar all-star who can’t even get one right, you
get… ABSOLUTLY NOTHING!I’m very excited about the Holy War
this weekend. Those biased retards from College Gameday will be here in
the SLC. The only thing worse than their horrid analysis is people who
stand behind them… see you there.So I guess everyone’s all
lovey dovey. Fernando’s hot and heavy with his new girlfriend, Mrs. Pat
Lam is getting married, all my roommates are getting some, and even my
friends are getting into it. And me, well I have a great story to tell!
Not really… thanks for opening up old wonds… I’m in a real strange
way right now, I don’t even like anyone. You need prospects before you
can play the field… Anyways, I decided to write this in response to
my utter loanlyness. Hey, inspiration comes, and you have to accept it.
Try to guess what it means!Sonnet 30 11-14-4 ©Matt Affolter
A shell of a man is all I see,
So to you, emotion I gladly send,
And after lover’s scorn and apathy,
My swelling heart, these words, I gladly lend.“In you I see all the reasons for love,
My past erased and filled with your eyes,
The culmination of all I’ve dreamed of,
You are my purpose ‘til my spirit flies.”Please take this passage and do with it well,
Its presence to me brings a great pain.
Why do I place upon myself such Hell,
And continue my life normally sane?As my life progresses maliciously,
I find hope living vicariously.One
more thing: in my Earth Science reviews class, we had to find a good
abstract and a bad abstract and critique them. Well, I hate to
say it, but I pick Bad religion’s lead singer’s abstract for his
Master’s work. Here is what I said.“Bad Abstract: Graffin 1992
This abstract suffers in the fact that it is
infected with needless information. This abstract should be
shortened to only a few lines demonstrating the main point only, but
the author showed no control in editing. The defense may be that
the extra information is needed, but an incomplete abstract would be
preferred to a walk through abstract with no substance and no
direction, which would be destined for nothing. That just leads
to a recipe of hate and sorrow on my part. I do forgive the
author of this abstract because he is the lead singer of one of the
greatest punk bands ever: Bad Religion.”If you’re a fan of Bad religion, you should get it. By the way, the show in Denver was sold out. Fuck, that’s been happining to me a lot. Also by the way:
You Are From Saturn
You’re steady, organized, and determined to achieve your dreams.
You tend to play it conservative, going by the rules (at least the practical ones).
You’ll likely reach the top. And when you do, you’ll be honorable and responsible.
Focus on happiness. Don’t let your goals distract you from fun!
Don’t be too set in your ways, and you’ll be more of a success than you ever dreamed of.

i have stood behind the game day people, well in front really when they were in Norman my senior year. it kind of sucked b/c youu couldn’t hear a thing they said and i knew that corso was going to pick against us (bastard)… but it was one of those things that you have to do. i am just hoping that ou will be going to the orange bowl and that i get to go. i got to go last time and it was SO COOL. good luck on sat. and throw and egg at corso or something.
Grrr, I didnt get one damn question right.
If it makes you feel any better, i aint getting any either. But, then again…Im losing my sense of being human, Im not even caring at this point. Maybe i should become a priest like 4 people in my past have predicted i’d become. Bastards, I cant give up that quickly. I feel ya on that needing someone to like before you can play the field.
Why are you so contemplative and stuff? Maybe if you’d just move out of Mormon-ville you’d be getting some. Patch just ate a page of a paper by Solomon. Is that a sign?
yeah… i would really like to be headed for miami, but if not i will see you in tempe (if we get tickets! my mom has already put in for them so we will see).
i think youu have a case of PGSAD… post GSA depression… don’t let it get you down… eat some turkey next week and all will be well…
