PSA

leggings do not eauql pants... however strongly you are tempted to wear them thusly, they are still not pants... yes, they do make your butt look big if you weigh more than 1 pound, which means practically everyone... no, they aren't pants... under a sweater dress, they are fine... but not as pants... that is all...

SEARCH retreat...

so i went on my school's SEARCH retreat this past weekend... and it was quite awesome... can't even describe how much fun i had and i would suggest it to anyone who goes to SJU to go on it before you graduate because it is totally worth it...

funny things...that are very wrong...

so i saw something today that struck me as amazingly funny... which probably shouldn't have been funny at all in any way... and is probably very anti-something-or-other... but today i saw an orthodox jewish boy (my school is very close to a large jewish neighborhood, so this is not funny in and of itself) you know, with the dress shrt, slacks, and yamalka... on roller skates... i have no idea why this was funny to me, it just struck me as amusing. it is not even unusual, since the boy was probably 10 or 12... it was just funny today to see it...

iTunes vs. limewire

ok ok, i know i haven't been posting at all recently, but my schedule has been insane! and it is hard to think of things to write on a regular basis... but his one i really do want opinions on...
a lot of my friends and i have talked about this... is it better to use iTunes or limewire to download music? i don't mind using itunes even though i have to pay because i feel really weird using limewire, more because i know a bunch of people who had computer problems with limewire than because i don't like to skirt paying for my songs... but which one is better? getting the songs for free with possible viruses or paying for them and having a safe computer? also, is it better to pay for music than to not pay for it? any thoughts?

so, when you go out in a kayak on a lake in august or early september at midday for two hours and you do not wear sunscreen... YOU WILL GET REALLY BAD SUNBURN... i learned this the hard way... owowowOWow... that is all...
