" 'Why am I here?' I wasted my whole life thinking about this stuff... I should've just gone fishing. I should've had a sandwich, had a few laughs." -- Steven Wright

"There are so many different ways to be connected to people. There are the people you feel this unspoken connection to, even though there's not even a word for it. There's the people who you've known forever who know you in this way that other people can't because they've seen you change. They've let you change." -- Angela, My So-Called Life

"Oh! It drives like we do!" -- Tourist, on the Metro's sudden stops

Update: I'm staying one more week in Washington, D.C. so I can see my friend Janelle, who'll be in Charlottesville, Va. next weekend.

Realization: Sometimes it just hits me, how fortunate I am to be surrounded by this web of people, and when everything seems lost, really lost -- like I thought I had it together and then it all fell apart, someone steps up to give me a nudge back to normalcy... either someone completely new, who surprises me, or someone so familiar, in a way I never expected.

"Everything falls apart... then I get to try to put it back together, yeah everything falls apart, and you can count on that..." -- Dog's Eye View

More on George: So, the discount we got on our rent for August was ridiculously easy to obtain. I asked how George was doing, George, Amanda and I sat down, George called me a good negotiator for saying hello, I rubbed the dog's tummy, and he asked us what we wanted. Amanda, full of bottled rage, said simply: "Half of August." And he said okay. After we hammered out the phone bill situation quickly, that was that. I wanted to kick him. For two months he's been making us angsty over this. And now, he has seen the light? I guess it's a sick comment on my nature that I wanted to slug it out and win, and that he somehow took that away from us after making us think it would be a fight... Like when two people are pushing real hard on opposite sides of a door, and the other person suddenly lets go.

I'm reading The World According to Garp right now... there was a man who came into CVS while I was in line today, looking like he just sailed in from Tom Hanks's desert isle and asking loud, confrontational questions of the clerks and manager. He'd obviously been thrown out at least once before. And I thought of a line from the book as I wondered why I was so annoyed by people who are crazy. Garp says that because he has to work so hard to be sane, he feels like they're just not trying hard enough.

I miss my Danish family. I had dinner tonight with Patrick's family, and I felt as though I should say, "Tak for mad," but of course, I didn't... and it reminded me of my host family, the people who made my last semester such a good experience.
