Against The Odds

So, this morning I felt lazy and nostalgic..and well..I decided to watch an old new favorite movie. It's called Wicker Park. The soundtrack is phenomenal. I'm going to cut my hair today! It's going to be short. Not pixie cut short but bob like short. I can't wait.

Yesterday at work I was on my lunch and so i decided to sit down in the cafe and this guy sitting across from me has this book out on the table and he was waiting for a drink. I was looking at him and he smiled at me (O_O shit) , so I smiled back. They called out his drink "quad venti nonfat extra dry cappuccino". I was impressed so I thought I might make some small talk since he was looking my way and he looked like his early 20's, and the best part...he looked lost and foreign. He looked very much like Sean. lol I was right. He was from Finland, and he was reading Plato's Republic!! Yes......foreign exchange student......can you say fate? lol. no it wasn't. Not after we got talking about the book. His accent was hard to understand, and I think that made the communication barrier all the more thicker. lol. He agreed with Plato's elitist form of class systems. I told him that it is to much of a patriarchal ideal and was flawed. He asked me why I disagreed because he thought Plato was a feminist. But I told him he was wrong he actually wasn't a feminist. He argued for equality but with restrictions on women and children. Plato says that women and children should be freed from slavery but to still be constrained to their gender roles. This is the only way Plato believes the state can help the individuals reach praxis. I think after he realized I was right....lol.....he started to just push my buttons and play devil's advocate. It was interesting after a while I told him that he should read the Nicomachean Ethics then talk to me again. I went back to work and he kept reading. I forgot to ask his name.

Here's some lyrics my favorite song from Wicker Park it's a cover of "Against the Odds" by the Postal Service

"How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you
You're the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave?
'Cause we shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
There's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
But take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that's what I've gotta face
I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all


Mock Trial was fun yesterday, I hope we can go to Nationals. My work load is going to be so heavy this year. I think I may just quit Starbucks if it gets to much. Eugene wants to move out with me next summer, and Priss wants me to go with her to New York next summer too....what to do?!?!?! They're my two closest friends.
