On Ryan Of Cats And Mathematical Puns

On Ryan of Cats and Mathematical Puns

Hmm. This is going to be kind of stream of consciousness and probably less organized than I’d hope, but here goes. Ryan is someone I’ve been on and off acquaintances with for a while now, but I’m glad we’re now actually friends, because I’m almost always happy to talk to him. This kid lives in a beautiful world of knowledge and questions and wonder and post-rock and it’s fairly entertaining to just listen to him for a while. For being an incredibly smart person, Ryan also can be kind of slow at times, but it only shows when he tries really hard to find a socially acceptable place to sit. Just kidding. Kind of. But in all honesty, I’m always impressed with Ryan for keeping an open mind, for being humbler than he has right to be, honestly (shh), for making scientific jokes that I really truly appreciate, for being pretentious in only small doses, for never having an unkind word, for keeping me up to date on my Spanish, and for never being afraid to laugh at himself or his friends. And today, he finally got his bread. Even though it wasn’t Wonder. Point being, again, that you should really appreciate this boy, and tell him lots and lots so he knows for certain how awesome he is.

On Maya

So this one will definitely be read by the subject and she will probably clap her hands together in her happy aww gesture.

Ignore the fact that that is in the passive. But in all seriousness, I will say it again, Maya is the single most feminine person I know, and I mean that in the very best way possible. As she thinks she knows but actually it’s truer than she might realize, Maya is beautiful. And not just because she has high aesthetic standards for herself. But that honestly is beside the point because Maya is wonderful because of how she always cares about the emotional well being of her friends, and because she always makes a point of trying to be positive, and she is funny and smart and all the happy things that make her so fun to be around. Like, if she had a weakness, it would be caring too much. But we all can live with that. I feel bad because this probably isn’t new because I’ve told her a lot of this before, but it’s true. Oh also she sings like a baby angel. Only happy to listen to. Sidenote, why are all of my friends amazing singers? So there’s that. If there were more people like Maya the world would be a much warmer and fuzzier place.

This is not my most well written piece. Huh. Sentiment remains.

Why You Should Be Proud of Me

cause looklook i'm back to writing nice things because i no longer have 93456190874589237745146 test and i'm sitting here waiting for scene changes and someone to tell me to go home and mainly i feel incapable of doing work. so i suppose on second thought maybe not that proud. but at least a little. i am going to make this week not awful, i've decided.

A Brief Note

in that a facebook friend of mine was like "look at the new chicken coup" and i thought oh my god who did they overthrow i didn't know there was a fowl government there must have been blood and feathers everywhere and then i remembered puns are awful and hey at least it was actually a nice new chicken coop

On Madeleine

Cause yeah. I don’t know why my friends are all so talented and wonderful, but Madeleine is a prime example. She’s another example of someone I’ve been friends with for a super long period of time, and I’m super happy about it. Her wood floors are the reason I now bring slippers to the houses of my friends who I know will be okay with it, which is a super plus. As I hinted at earlier she sings beautifully, and when people tell her she usually just says it’s because her parents are opera singers, but actually she has a gorgeous voice and works incredibly hard. She’s a talented pianist, a brilliant student, and an honest friend. I don’t know how many times I’ve been doing something careless or unkind and she’s pointed it out incredibly courteously. Mads has a tendency to say what most people are thinking but lack the tact to say kindly, and it’s basically the best thing ever. She’s diplomatic and considerate to the last, but she also manages to be a barrel of ridiculous fun. I sincerely enjoy talking to her when I get the chance, even though it’s less frequently than I’d like, but hey, she has to be busy what with all her musicking and magicking and saving the world. Or at least, that’s what I imagine Mads does all day. Also she draws awesome. So that too. Huh. What a cool person. Now you know.

In Which I Unabashedly Celebrate
