got a digital camera from my dad for xmas! yay! now I can take artsy pictures!

I mean, literally, I am very much on the watch for artsy pictures. I know they’re out there, and I will find them!! I will!

do you know how hard it is for me to keep to all lower case? I inadvertantly capitalize things anyway. like I. but I guess that’ll can go. I’ll stay a proper capitilized being, while reducing everything and everyone else to lower case.

so the other day I was flying on this plane and I was sitting next to this cute guy. well we got to talking and he was a frosh at oberlin, and we played hangman with words we remembered from the sats. made the four and a half hours pass quicker.
he said he’d look me up if he was ever at wes. weird, though, to meet people traveling. like, I fairly often talk with people on planes, but I think this was the first time I told them my name. we were playing random travel games, because four and a half hours is a long time to read when you’ve been reading all semester, and neither of us had the computer battery to play solitaire or snood for the whole flight… so we were playing the dot game, I know you’ve played it. connect the dots, make a box, put your initial in it, whoever has the most boxes wins. so we were going to play that and he must have suddenly thought of the initial thing, and he asked me, “what’s your name?” we’d been playing hangman and talking together for maybe an hour already, and names just never entered into it. so exchanged first names.
traveling has such strange social conventions.
