  number 3, emphatically agree with point 6 about certainty and 7 about
  disagreements on aethestics.  Rand thinks even aesthetics are COMPLETELY
  OBJECTIVE GAHHHH
- List of my insecurities (i.e, the things I worry other people judge me
  regarding):
      - where I spend my money
      - what I'm eating
      - how many exclamation points I may choose to use sometimes
      - whether the clothes I wear and hair options I make are "professional"
      - my severe inability to remain stoic and calm sometimes
      - whether I am truly a badass hacker and/or super-duper programmer (not
        worried anymore about whether I am intellectually equipped to do math
        and computer science, at least)
      - my ability to sing
      - how many people I may or may not have loved and/or with whom I may or
        may not have had sexual relations
- It's like a psychographic version of strip poker -— I'm disrobing, 140

- I like to write and talk in a place where I think that at least one person
  will read it.  I don't care if that person is someone who knows and loves me,
  an old friend, an acquaintance, or a complete and total stranger.  I just know
  that if I do this, and if I sometimes cross a certain line (in my head?  in
  the world?  ) SOMEONE OUT THERE WILL TELL ME.
- I require (far?) more social interaction than Bo does.
- tra la la: the feminist doesn't know about the fucking morning after pill?
  were the movie makers THAT worried that anti-abortionists would picket their
  movie? tra la la complaint TWO: Rory and the concept of a soulmate GAH and
  additionally the fact that she was so uptight GAHHHHH:: how much serena van
  der woodsen seemed to have it together when in fact under the surface she was
  falling the fuck apart (all people who seem to have it together?)
- reasons why people hate computers: outdated crappy software (and hardware?),
  not understanding that you can make computers do WHATEVER YOU WANT if you are
  not limited by forced handicaps (lack of money and time and expertise are the
  main reasons people think their computers don't work.  You only need two of
  the three.  Or maybe just one, if you have a whole bunch of any one of those
  three.)
- "We want excuses to relax instead of making a conscious decision to relax,"
  Ms. Porter said. "We don’t want to put ourselves in the position of saying,
  'That's my choice.'" <-- fucking retarded.  why? (from an article debating the
  pros and cons of internet availability on airlines, where people usually feel
  free not to work)
- wedding goals: I want to wait long enough to have it that we can make it be 1)
  exactly what Bo and I want, 2) big, 3) beautiful, 4) fun, 5) (and this is a
  big one) NOT VERY STRESSFUL FOR ANYONE INVOLVED! 

  I think if we cannot meet all of these goals we will probably have to elope in
  France somewhere.  We will, if that has to happen, at least give every single
  person we know and love at least a couple weeks notice.
- things that contributed to the breakdown:
    - watching monk for the first time (mostly functional intelligent mental
      illness)
    - watching the office superbowl special
    - NO SLEEP FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS?!
    - hating what I was working on so so so much
