I hate the way when you take a bandaid off the skin underneath is all white and pasty. Thinking about that reminded me of a Chinese family I knew when I was little. I used to play with the little girls (I had my first almost slumber party with them. I freaked out at the [...]
I feel like I’m writing a book report. Then Newton does this, and then he does that, and what he’s trying to say is this. I don’t know how to write about the overall structure of the Principia and still stay as technical as Mr. Braithwaite wants me to.

I am so amused by the things that people forget at the hotel. All of these items wind up eventually at the front desk where we get to play with them until their owners retrieve them or one of the employees finally takes them home. Yesterday there was a dirty travel coffee mug, a stack [...]
I hate talking to my father about my problems.
