"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.

I spent politics this afternoon writing some preliminary plans for Europe. We'll see how Libby likes them.

Rachel is a freshman who moved in to Miller this year. She's a happy and friendly girl. She and her roommate Shannon are buddy buddy from day one. This, as I'm sure you know, often happens with freshman, and especially in Miller. The old girls all know each other and you want so badly to know someone. So you cling. They were one word, not two people.

Dead sure I was in trouble. In fact, Libby had twenty empty or partially empty cans of Miller Lite under her desk. These were from the three boys from Newton, Iowa that came to visit Valeria. One was her cousin, and the other two were his friends. Libby got some drunken international student action that weekend, I might add. But yes, twenty or so cans of Miller Madeleinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176458.post-848839432002-11-21T13:45:00.000-06:002002-11-21T13:45:08.500-06:00So, for the promised story.
Where do I begin?
Okay, so my roommate Libby and I are going to study aborad next semester, so my third roommate, Valeria, had begun to stake out who she wanted to live with after we left Miller. She had asked Barbara, and Barbara agreed. She would have to move all her stuff in here before Christmas break. Everything's fine and dandy.

You seem to have excellent music taste, are artsy, and are smart and funny. Living such a balanced life must get kind of tiring, but you do it well. You seem the least fake of all the others, tho I've never seen anyone with truly natural auburn hair, so you must've dyed it, which in turn makes your hair fake, and that messes me up!

It was hilarious--I was walking down to my class, and it was lightly raining. He ran across the street, and said "ah! someone has an umbrella!" and then asked if he could share mine with me.

Yeah! Considering the average was a 77, I'm okay with that.
Well, now I'm going to go start cooking dinner. I was a little on the expensive side, so it better be damn good :-)

I'm enjoying and suffering in Texas at the same time. I had so many great memories and I feel like I missed a lot, as people grew without me being here. But I am so lucky to have met so many wonderful people and dedicated friends though the years, everywhere I've been. So thank you, all of you, for making my Madeleinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176458.post-797970062002-08-04T00:31:00.000-05:002002-08-04T00:31:06.180-05:00Hello all. I'm off to the Lone Star State. . . well I don't really care about the rest of the state, just one town. The Big CS*. Anyway, to reach me, call 268-0493. My access to e-mail is undetermined. Will get back to you later. Farewell and goodnight.

Yeah, not fun. Plus I had to let down Jack--he a spotlight position open and I'll be gone to Texas by then. Forgot to call. My bad.
So I'm tired, WAY behind in my reading, and starting to get grumpy. Not a very good way to start the weekend. Damnit damnit damnit. I still have to pack.

Once again putting off a paper--about right-wing white supremicist terrorists. Sounds fun, no? I just had an incredible weekend with Eric, who drove all the way from Lawrence :-) Had a pool party, got to see people I haven't seen since, I don't know, graduation? Good times in Cedar Falls. and OH YEAH!! I'm a JEDI MASTER!!

The summary of my freshman year. . . please don't ask my why I'm taking summer classes. I'll just blame my dad. At least it's interesting. I mean, when else would I study the Qollahuaya of Mt. Kaata, Bolivia?
Anyway, I should get back to work. . .I don't think anyone will read this as not very many people seem to be online in the summer; maybe Madeleinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176458.post-769998812002-05-26T16:45:00.000-05:002002-05-26T16:45:34.000-05:00well thank goodness blogspot.com isnt' run by hotmail or this would all be GONE by now. Hmph. Sorry I've been away so long, just getting my self in order. And now I'm meant to be watching brothers and foster brothers and such. And at some graduation parties? Goodness.

and that's something else. There's no place to cry in Miller. I think Marley or Libby pointed this out. I mean, it's a wonderful house, but there's nowhere to be alone. Not that I need to be most of the time. If I do, I go to bed. Even then you're not alone. 24 girls breathing and snoring andMadeleinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176458.post-764370152002-05-11T14:49:00.000-05:002002-05-11T14:49:11.653-05:00you know what's the comforting thing about on-line babbling? it doesn't even matter to me if anyone reads this. Just knowing I got my thoughts out there makes me fell better.
So I need to study for finals, which I will embark on shortly. first, I have to ramble a little.
you know what never ceases to amaze me? How the right music can change my mood. it's phenomenal. it pisses me off sometimes Madeleinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176458.post-762672322002-05-07T11:52:00.000-05:002002-05-07T11:52:12.870-05:00It is wrong to be tired of apologizing? I feel like I'm always apologizing to someone for something. Can one person possibly make that many mistakes? I'm tired.
But thank goodness lots of people are giving me good quotes for the Miller Tshirt. I can't believe it's my design. How crazy is that? Little old me.
I do feel little and old. I want to know where my life is going.

I guess I just get my hopes up too often. But pessimistic Madeleine isn't much fun either. But I watched the end of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and suddenly everything became much better. At least I'm not CRAZY? or perhaps I really am. Oh well. I'm not in the rain with a cat to say the least.
