AOL Instant Messenger is quite a misnomer. Instant messaging is in fact not instant at all. Many a time, I have messaged a friend, only to wait hours for a response. However, it is an entirely different kettle of fish to call IM instantaneous messaging. Because once I click "send," the message takes a near-zero amount of time to travel. That is, there is a difference between instantly and instantaneously, the former taking place in an instant and the latter taking an instant to take place.
I opened my front door this morning and ran into a shopping cart parked in the hallway. There is now a dirty red shopping cart in my room. Curse you, whoever blessed me with this false gift.

I like accelerating in cars. I don't drive, but I like being in accelerating vehicles. I don't like braking.
I received a letter from what is now my high-school version of an alma mater. Yes, I have graduated from Hopkins High School and I am forever freed from the clutches of mandatory, state-run educational administratia.
There is still a shopping cart on my bed.
I will be living with one Sergio Barksdale at Columbia this fall. He's from Texas. I googled him because I'm creepy, but I couldn't find much information on him. Part of me can't wait to meet him, and part of me greets this whole "roommate" thing with much trepidation. But Barksdale is such a classy last name--we can name our room Barksdale-Stein Hall.
Today I walked around Minneapolis for an hour instead of going to a show (Battle of the Underage Underground) at First Avenue to see Melodious Owl (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) melodious_wes) because we saw that M.O wasn't playing until 6:30 (they're like... headlining?) and we had to go before that. So Selena (nasty_naughty) and I almost got ice cream in Block E and then tried to find a store called Vital Vinyl on 15th street, but failed to locate 15th (if you're trying to find 15th on LaSalle and you hit 13th and then GRANT [wtf?], just keep going and 15th comes soon).
Some family came to town from Hawai'i and I like them, so I had dinner with them and family. Good, wholesome day.
Piano-cello duets went well yesterday. I'm finally getting used to performing, so I don't hyperventilate and lose all control over the way my music sounds. We had to dig a bit deep into our repertoires to avoid repeating the duets three times each, but people said we sounded nice (white liars) and I rather enjoyed myself. It makes me hunger to play truly well.
