"Well at A-Oh-Pi we have good parties."
"There was one my place a while back that was huge, even a volcano on our roof. But we like to make our parties invitational only, that way you get the crowd you want without having the house of pain trying to crawl in through your window."
--A girl and a guy walking near Wheeler Hall

"MCAT *gestures at book*... you're not pre-med, are you?"
"Oh, no, it's a study guide for the test, but I'm just using it to help with my chem class."

--Two guys studying a few tables over at the cafe

"When I was 12 or 13, I thought the 'scoundrel' scene was the most romantic thing ever. I don't even remember now if they actually kiss, or if they just get really close, and C3P0 interrupts them..."

"Harrison Ford should run for president. After Air Force One, half of America would probably think he was the incumbent."--A girl passing by my window this morning

Unless of course, Bill Pullman, Kevin Kline or Michael Douglas decides to run.

And speaking of elections, nice to know that sometimes wishes get listened to. I went to bed last night desperately hoping for some kind of "Dewey Defeats Truman!"-style miscount.
I don't know if I got my wish or not, but at least now there's a chance.

"Here, sit. Stay a while, take off your backpack."
