Work seemed to drag on and on. But I spent my lunch time with Eva. We chatted and she told me about all of the fun she had on her recent visit to the east coast. Eva went to the JFK Library and Museum while she was there. I am so jealous. I plan to go there very soon and I am looking forward to it. I think that Eva and I get each other pretty well and we have very similar interests. It’s nice to see her often and hang out and I also get to find out about great volunteer opportunities through the Alumni Association. Yay!

I was so tired while hanging out briefly with Tripp while waiting for Matthew Barney to speak and show his works at the Hammer. I couldn’t stay because I had dinner plans with M, but it was basically sold out and we didn’t get a seat inside. I felt bad because Tripp waited so long in traffic to come see it. There were many cute arty girls and guys there and I really admire their style. It feels like I am so plain and boring. Every so often, I will try something new, but I don’t think that I can get away with it as well as they can. They were very cute. I saw a few people that I recognized there, but couldn’t place how I knew them. Maybe its because I’ve been here for a long time and I’ve just seen them around campus or Westwood, but I hate that feeling of not knowing how I knew them.

M and I caught up with each other over dinner. She and I lead totally similar, yet different lives. I can’t really explain it, but we do and we somehow never run out of things to talk about. I was (still am) exhausted though. I realized that I usually see her on Tuesdays and I am a lot more energetic then because it’s the beginning of the week. But Thursdays are really hard for me most of the time. She and her roommate haven’t talked in over two months, even though they live together. It’s unfortunate, but I think that it may be necessary in order for them to coexist in the same place. We talked a lot about being judged by others and how we judge others on their choices. We ended up talking about sex in general and how no one ever really talks about it frankly. It’s just something that people don’t really talk about. I talk to certain people about it, but it doesn’t consume a majority of my conversations with them. It shouldn’t. I just think that it’s necessary to talk about it sometimes, more frequently than it has been now. But in this conservative and heavily regulated country, I don’t think that any media outlets will allow for anything like that to be out there for the public to hear and see. I think that’s why I miss Sex and the City so much.

(Hooray for having DSL again!)

SATC quote of the day:
“Sex is not a time to chat. In fact, it's one of the few instances in my overly articulated, exceedingly verbal life where it is perfectly appropriate—if not preferrable—to shut up.” – Miranda (Season 1 – The Awful Truth)
