laundry day!

I'm not really in the mood to write much more, but I feel obligated to offer some kind of paltry update. Below is an excerpt from an email I just sent-- it is what it is what it is. Real updates soon, I promise. (Including a TRUE LIFE, IN-DEPTH, SUPER DETAILED REVIEW OF MY DAY from sunrise to post-sunset. Get pumped up.

"i come home in a month! how crazy is that? i'm having trouble grasping the reality of the time frame: on the one hand, a month is almost nothing and i'll be home tomorrow. on the other hand...well, every day here feels like a forever. so much HAPPENS, you know? i think it's the close quarters-- 35 of us breathing the same air, doing the same homework, eating the same food, using the same toilets --inevitably things happen quickly. it's this total retardation of the way relationships develop, everything gets sped up and suddenly there are people you want to puke on and people you want to sleep with and it all happened so FAST. and the kids here are from all over; i'm so excited about these friends i'm going to have all over the u.s. i've started constructing these elaborate fantasies about my year off: driving and busing and flying from city to city and state to state, sleeping on floors and finally meeting the friends and boyfriends and girlfriends that these amazing people keep telling me about.

long beach, seattle, colombus, greenwich, miami, chicago...and then salt lake city. everyone thinks it's hysterical that i'm from utah, and then they ask me really stupid questions about mormons, and then they find out that i have mormon friends, and then they flip shit all over themselves. a part of me is really irritated by it, but i think it's probably a good thing that they're actually hearing from a real person that mormons are not crazy. it's so funny, though, so hypocritical-- that jews, of all people, would jump to these rediculous conclusions about people of another religion."

Today's recommended listening is anything by Josh Rouse, and today's recommended eating is mellawach pizza from the little restaurant next to my dorm. Today's recommended things-to-send-to-Dory-in-the-mail is LETTERS! Or instant food, cash, and hoodies. Or letters. Send me an email (indieosyncrasy at hotmail dot com) and I'll hook you up with my mailing address! For reals, yo.

Peace.
