So my dad says to me:

"Chrifu, what are you gonna do with your life?"

Seriously, what else could I say?

"I'm gonna get what I want."

A word problem.

Daniel's mad.

Daniel uses 2/4 of his free time to study for chemistry, and scores an 80 on the test. Christopher uses 1/4 of his free time to study for chemistry and scores a 90 on the test. Calculate the study time/test percentage ratio and then call me, because I don't get it either.

It's not like I try to piss him off. We're equally smart, it's just that I'm more intuitive and he's more hard-working. Gawd, we're the epitome of Pisces. I go up, think more abstract thoughts, while he goes down and thinks more logical thoughts. The two fish.

While I like who I am, I wish I was more down to earth. Especially when it comes to living in the real world.

'Sigh'. The real world.

Smoking.

I've been smoking alot lately. I'm not sure why. Maybe I think it's cool? But that's ridiculous. If anything, smoking is so not cool now a days.

Am I trying to become something else? One of those beatnik poets who smoke and write all the time? Or maybe more of a Carrie Bradshaw?[On a side note, I really need to stop talking about Sex in the City.]

Maybe it's just a college thing? Alot of people pick up smoking in college, and then leave it there too. Maybe it's because I've been partying a bit more? Or at all?

Likes and Dislikes.
-It relaxes me. -Sometimes I get too lightheaded and want to puke.
-It gives me something to do with my hands. -It makes my fingers smell.
-I like watching the smoke. -The smoke bothers me when it goes up my nose.
-Alot of people don't like it. -Alot of people don't like it.
-Sometimes my mouth tastes weird after.

Eh, I don't know.

Super short story.

Stewart walks him up the steps to his apartment. He smiles at Stewart, who was thinking about how great their first date went. He says, "So, what'd you think of the movie Doug?"
Doug thinks for a minute. "Well," he starts. "I really liked the part when you held my hand." They smile again. Stewart leans in and they kiss. They kiss again. And again.
Doug stops. Stewart frowns. Doug says, "Look Stewart. I really like you, and well.." He hesitates. "I mean, Carrie slept with Big on the first date, and look how their relationship is!"

Blackbird.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night,
take these broken wings and learn to fly.
All your life
you will be waiting for this moment to arrive.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night,
take these sunken eyes and learn to see.
All your life
you will be waiting for this moment to be free.

Blackbird fly.
Blackbird fly.
Into the light of the dark black night.

I thought I heard gun shots as I sat outside and smoked. I love smoking.

I'm going to work.

Kohls is cool. My manager is Katie Daugherty's aunt, oddly enough. Sorry, I don't know if I spelled her name right. She said that she's going to try to get me out early because I have class at 8 the next mornings.

It's nice. I like it. No one else wears their name tags, so I don't know if I will. I suppose I should. I'll bring it. There's alot of on your own time. We basically all walk around our departments putting new signs up. Luckily there's music playing. It gets hot towards the end of the night. Hopefully I won't get out later then one AM this time. I should go now. I just wanted to tell you guys about it.

Thoughts?

I need just a little help with this scene. I need a good witty line at the end. Where PHILLIP says, "Oh honey. We both needed a real man." I need that to be funnier. Help?


Lights up on up left. DOUG is smoking a cigarette. PHILLIP races in. He sees DOUG smoking and sighs.

PHILLIP. I thought you were trying to quit.

DOUG. I did. I quit.

PHILLIP. Then what is that in your hand?

DOUG. Nothing. There’s nothing in my hand. [Silence.] Just pretend it isn’t there.

Phillip sighs. A tense silence.

DOUG. How could he? How can he just show his face here and expect.. Whatever.

PHILLIP. [Puts his hands on DOUG’s face.] You have just as much, if not more to offer then that girl will ever be able to give to him. Come here. [He draws DOUG into an embrace.]

DOUG. I know, it’s just.. Thanks. That really means a lot. [Silence. He breaks the hug.] Why did you and I ever break up?

PHILLIP. Oh honey. We both needed a real man. You coming in?

DOUG. Soon.
