Sometimes, the wind will bring me your scent and I miss you. But only a bit.
If I do decide to pursue architecture, I'll probably need to leave Case soon. I don't know if I can leave so many of my favorite people.
I've been meaning to pursue more artistic endeavors, but when I paint I almost never finish. And I always find that discouraging. Most of the time I stop because I lose whatever feeling I had for the piece, or I don't know where to go with it. Sometimes I just paint over them.
I hate people as a group, though I love individuals.
"I love to preach tolerance, but truthfully I'm the least tolerant person I know. I cheerfully write off bigots, dogmatists, and hypocrites without a second thought. I don't actually know anyone who would exclude or think badly of someone based on their sexuality, but I hear that people like that are out there, and I'm pretty sure that if I ever actually ran into one I would be able to give them fifteen way better reasons to full-out hate me, starting with my utter contempt for them."
- Devin Grayson
I have a very low tolerance for intolerance and chosen stupidity.
Body heat.

Smarties
You know, those chalky little disks you got from your teacher in second grade for doing well on your spelling tests. Link here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smarties_(Ce_De_Candy)
In most European countries and Canada Smarties refer to these:
Interestingly enough, the original blue Smartie (European) was discontinued because of unsure effects of the blue coloring used. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smarties
Additionally, the original name of "Smarties Chocolate Beans" was discontinued in 1977 because they thought the term "beans" was misleading. You'd think that with a name like Smarties they'd give their consumers a bit more credit.
