If you want to court the little lady, you've gotta be a straight shooter, do ya follow me?

I just woke up from a dream where I had to write a 10 page paper today, but first I had to wander through a giant hardware warehouse looking for flowers with an anonymous frat boy. It was very Eternal Sunshine with people popping up places that they shouldnt be and nothing making sense. Thank god it was just a dream. Lately, Ive been having these dreams that continue all night it seems, sometimes I'll wake up not wanting to fall right back into the same dream, but then I inevitably do when I fall asleep again. Last night and the night before have both been like that. In other things, I wish I didn't get crushes. My crushes change quickly (ive learned by now that it doesnt do well to dwell on them for long periods of time), but theyre always on invariably perfect boys, they never ever work out but I'm always stuck liking these people who either don't like me (about 99% of the time) or are pretty much incompatible. I'm tempted to enter the nunnery (if only i was christian) or just send off for one of those mail order husbands and be done with it.

Yesterday was the USC vs Washington game which wasn't all too interesting to watch. The final score was 38-0 USC. My brother Matt and 3 friends came to the game. I was glad they came (albeit 45 minutes later than they said they would) because I enjoy showing off my school and especially how much fun the football games can be. They seemed to have a good time cheering for SC and we were all secretly cheering for Dan, who we watched play for Washington. It's a very strange thing to see a family friend play college football in a giant coliseum and the whole time youre thinking "wow, he used to sleep on our couch and practically live at our house growing up." Afterwards, A few of the dtd guys decided to get "heart attack dogs" after the game which are basically grease-fried hot dogs with greasy bacon wrapped around it and drizzled with grilled onions. Definitely clogged the arteries a bit more. I dont understand the eating patterns of boys. Sometimes I feel so weird about being vegetarian. Not ever in my choice to be one, but just being around people who don't understand and then they'll usually ask why I do it, and I'll respond that I'm very interested in animal rights and I just didn't like meat that much. They'll look at me like I'm crazy but the part that worries me is that I sound like I'm propogating it or condescendingly telling them they should do it too, which is something I try to avoid. I hope people don't get that impression when I explain my reasons. Andy said he felt bad eating the heart attact dog right in front of me, and I dont want people to feel that way. After the game, I decided to go get Korean BBQ with 3 girls from my house Nancy, Debbie, and Heather and three Delt guys, Andy, Marc, and Phillip. I hadnt planned on going out after the game, but the idea came up and it sounded like fun. We drove out to korea town and I managed to find a vegetable + rice plate at the BBQ and it was very delicious. Afterwards we headed back to school and were still not ready to go home so we went over to the Delt house and hung out and watched people play pool (almost got a row run out of it). Overall it turned into a really fun day and I think more days will turn out like that if I just open up to going to places I normally wouldnt go to on a whim.
