1. I'm up too late.
2. I was up too late last night too.
3. I am maybe going to buy a condominium in Houston.
4. I feel like I am not able to articulate my academic interests as well as I'd like.
5. I had a >>perfect<< vacation to St. George, Zion, and Vegas.
6. I am being slowly eaten alive by all the spiders that live in my parents' basement.
7. I'm afraid that Paula is right.
8. When I visited Rice in March I met some of the other prospective students, they were 21-23 years old; I'll be 27 in a month.
9. Should I start using Rogaine, get a prescription for Propecia, or let my hair go gently into that good night?
10. We all have some ambivalence in us, don't you think? But how much is too much?
11. If I move my bed so it is six inches away from any walls will that keep the spiders from eating me?
12. Houston will be a big change, am I ready for it? Do I have the energy for it? I think I'd rather relive the last two years one more time. They were good, bad, full of mistakes and shining moments. They were the best two years. Can Houston top it?
13. How do I feel about eBooks and eReaders? On the one hand they could kill bookstores, libraries, and the "experience" of holding a book, smelling it, and paper cuts. But on the other hand I wouldn't have to deal with boxes and boxes of books and I could search through my electronic library for phrases and words and such.
14. It's been raining a lot the past few weeks. I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow. I want to go miniature golfing.
15. I remember speeding down the Kennedy at 2 am and then tip-toeing past Jared's air mattress even though his snoring would have drowned out a marching band.
16. I remember meeting my cohort for the first time at writing day. And now I have to do something similar all over again.
17. It was odd to walk down lower Wacker in person; it brought back memories I didn't have.
18. "I usually don't drink, but when I do I drink cases of King Cobra Premium Malt Liquor."
19. The boy scouts became man scouts that day in the subway: there's nothing in the hand book to prepare them for THAT.
20. It was raining the night they took the El to the laundromat, why didn't I drive them?
21. It was cold on Northerly Island, the ice sheets forced themselves over the breaker and piled white and high like pages and pages and drafts and drafts of Thesis.
22. New friends became old friends.
23. Ate at Burger King on the night of the Apocalypse; it was all good.
24. I read the Time Machine nine too many times.
25. I get my friends married, they get me dinner sometimes.
26. Got a new pair of the same shoes I wore out. The new pair just doesn't cut it. They squeak and jumble about.
27. I didn't get sick from the water in the subway at Zion, that made me so happy that I can't even word this sentence well.

I like this post because it's cryptic, but still interesting to people on the outside of the inside jokes.
