nayomi came over today and asked me to help her decide whether or not to join this special kenya class. it was one of those decisions that had too many factors and subfactors to keep them all straight with just one brain, but i thought it was funny that she wanted me to help, since we all know i’m the worst decision maker in the new world. but i suggested that we make a pros and cons list just so she could organize her thoughts more tangibly so they wouldn’t just clank around in her head and drive her crazy.
minutes later, a sleepy cj wandered into my room and said, “did somebody say frozen cosmopolitans?” we just thought he was being a lush. but he finally explained himself when we met at the diner tonight – turns out he actually wanted to know, “no, really, did somebody say frozen cosmopolitans?” it’s true, the phrases sound quite similar. i counted to three and made him say “frozen cosmopolitans” while i said “pros and cons list” and they definitely match. try it with your friends. maybe over a round of cosmos?
two people told me i was cute today. both were girls. but they were right, i am really, really cute. feel free to comment further on this subject. and rach thinks i should create a new screen name: theOneAndOnlyEmLocke.
lauren and i decided that jen‘s hiatus didn’t count until she formally announced it, so i submitted the following official statement: “lauren and i wanted to let you know that we don’t think you can be officially on hiatus until you post an official hiatus notification. we think that would be appropriate (and would give us a little something to read while we’re not doing our work, which is a lot of the time.)” well, jen responded graciously with a new post, but gave someone else, some columbia guy credit for the hiatus protest! where’s the love, jen?

love always, em locke
